Hi guys, just a quick info for whoever read this diary: I started this run with two plants but during Week 9 (57 days: 49 vegetative + 8 flowering) I had to remove the one on the right due slow growth (issue started after I topped her). Enjoy the reading. ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ Third run begins. ๐Ÿช๐ŸฆCookies Gelato by RQS, my first time with photoperiods. I created this diary at the end of January but due some problem with the new drip system (too ph oscillations), I decided to go back to my first love: the DWC. This time, however, I decided to build my own DWC, taking into account the negative aspects that I find in the expensive DWC of various brands. This tank has about 50 liters capacity and on the bottom I have inserted a metal tap that will help me with the solution changes. The lid is made up of two parts, the upper one on which I made a hole in which I inserted a 2 liter planter full of expanded clay and the two root riot; the front part of the lid is magnificent because it opens and allows me to do a quick check of PH and EC. This time I'm going to count the days from the germination date. I'm going to VEG for about 40 days, then switch to 12/12 for about 70 days. I plan on topping the plants during week 4, then defoliation + SCROG during week 5, switch 12/12 during week 6. Then lollipopping at the end of the stretch. In this run I will use my new MARS HYDRO TS1000 2022 (already have one with 2021 MOSO driver), bought a few days ago to test the latest model with the proprietary Mars Hydro driver. I'm sure there will be further improvement in my performance ๐Ÿ’ช. No sponsor for me yet, what I have is what I bought but I hope someone can help me to bring my crops to the next level. I'm planning to buy a new 90x90 tent and a nice 300/480 watt lamp would be very nice. Crossed fingers! ๐Ÿคž ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑGERMINATION STAGE๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ - 20/2/23: seeds in a glass of demineralized water, 2 drops of rootbastic and 3 drops of hydrogen peroxide for 24 hours, then in root riot; - 21/2/23: seeds under TS1000: 100 cm distance / 33% dimmer = 50 watt; - 22/2/23: first Cookies Gelato sprouted; - 23/2/23: second Cookies Gelato sprouted. - Got some gift from RQS, really appreciated. I'll consider tomorrow as 1ยฐ day of veg for all 2 seedlings. I'll switch 'em to 12/12 after 40/45 days of veg.

Had to axe out the HPS as summer ambient temps are too high , so I lowered the SE5000 to 10 inch off the canopy and the girls have loved it , buds are getting way fat and are covered in mostly clear some cloudy trichs, temps now are 27 c or lower in day time with no HPS , running a dehumidifier at the intake that is able to drop the humidity by around 20% but unfortunately some days Iโ€™m fighting 85% -95% humidity keeping a high rate of air turnover and circulation fans is keeping them happy .. finish line in sight hopefully only another 2-3 weeks . The little GZ auto was ready to go in bags today after 2 weeks drying and final weight was 130g around 4 and half oz , it tastes pretty good , sticky to touch and kinda tastes like pink bubblegum , a touch harsh but still needs a few weeks cure .

Beginning of week.. They are happy and healthy.. Feeding every other watering this week with half a dose of CALiMAGic and half a dose of FloraMicro.... Adding in some Floralicious Plus along with the MYCO+.. Not on the nutes list here so I'm just adding it in here.. Mid week... They are lookin good.. Been watering daily.. Gonna try to see if I can get away with every other day.. They got a good, late watering today so they should be good for 48 hours in between waterings.. This medium has ALOT of Springtails.. Those fuckers are really getting annoying.. They dont seem to hurt the plants (as far as I can tell).. But when you're seeing literally probably 100,000 every day in the runoff.. I'm a little nervous of any issues to arise. But so far the plants are looking great.. Growing.. Happy.. Healthy.. ๐Ÿ˜ End of week.. Whoops.. Didnt get a chance to take any pics.. But tomorrow is when the next week begins! Pics there! On to the next week!...

1/23/2023 - Day 21 Veg: Transplanted all 6 into 1 gallon pots. Still using BuildASoil Light soil and watered in with a compost tea. Gave them a foliar feed with the teas as well. They all look good so far, but we will have to see what they look like tomorrow. Dropped the intensity on the light to about 50%, and I plan to increase it again tomorrow if they are all looking healthy. 1/24/2023 - Day 22: First day after transplant and all the plants are looking good. 1/26/2023 - Day 24 veg: got the genetic test back today and ended up with 2 male and 2 female Grand Prix, which is perfect. Number 1 and 4 are males, and 2 and 3 are females. I was a little bummed #1 was male, because it was already getting some funk, but what can you do. Giving it to a friend who might use it for some breeding, so I'll still get to see how he turns out. 1/27/2023 - Day 25 veg: watered the 4 remaining plants with ThermX-70, FishShit, Fermented Comfrey Extract,Yah-Whey, and fresh aloe juice. Gave them a foliar feed with this as well. Also, lowered the light to about 26 in away from the plants to bring the ppfd to about 500. They are really starting to pick up speed now that they are in the new 1 gallon pots. 1/28/2023 - Day 26 veg: Topped all four today.

Now the ROYAL GORILLA in all orange pipe cleaners! This plant is a pain in the ass lol. The inner growth and spacing is insanely close!!! so many shoots all tightly together. I have tied down anything I can. Unsure how it will work in budding next week

I've transferred the selected plants to bigger containers. I've noticed that I'm staring them all day and a friend has an unused old GoPro that he was willing to let me have for this grow.... So now the GoPro takes an image every minute. I've started working on a python to script to let me create a time-lapse video, FUN!

W11F7 8/17-23 HARVEST 8/19 This past week has been rainy and overcast from a tropical storm with temperatures mostly in the upper 80s. We had Hurricane Erin with wind gusts of 30-40 MPH. While we wonโ€™t be directly hit by the storm, we will get the outer bands of heavy winds and rain. To protect my plants, I brought all the girls inside on Tuesday in preps for the storm. I inspected each one for bugs, rot or anything unusual. I did not find any bugs or bud rot on AK47. The leaves have some wind burn but that doesnโ€™t affect the plant in any way. Auto AK-47XL is 59 days from germination. Divine Seeds indicates it is ready for harvest from the end of August to early September. 8/19 AK-47XL Auto grew outside until harvest today. I put her in the 3x3 in the dark for 3 days and cut her and hung her on August 23rd. Trichomes were mostly milky with only a few amber so it was time to harvest since AK47 is sativa and I donโ€™t want a sedative effect. The smell is woody and piney with only a hint of citrus. From what I see and smell AK47XL should be a nice wake and bake vape. I canโ€™t wait.

Tag 90: Da die Runtz nun schon deutlich weniger Wasser benรถtigt und auch schon viele braune Stempel/Stigmen hat, habe ich mich kurzfristig dazu entschlossen schon jetzt keinen Dรผnger mehr zu geben.
