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.
🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱
Third run begins.
🍪🍦Cookies 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 💪.
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! 🤞
🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱GERMINATION STAGE🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱
- 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 1° day of veg for all 2 seedlings. I'll switch 'em to 12/12 after 40/45 days of veg.

This grow is going to be testing my coco based auto watering setup. The plants will eventually be going into 2.5 gallon airpots which I cut to be very tall and narrow which I hope will give great performance for this grow style. Nutrient solution will be pumped from a 5 gallon bucket to halo-style drip emitters 4 times a day for 5-10 second intervals. I am going to try to use inline flow control knobs to dial in the watering and allow for slight runoff every fertigation.
For lighting I am using my HLG 100 watt lights, one per plant. I am a big fan of these quantum boards, they have given great performance I. The past!
Thanks for reading! 🌱👍
May 13 day 1: the Blackberry breached after germinating in a rapid rooter for 2 days. I am impressed with how quickly this seed popped! It had a stuck seed that was gently removed, and will be falling off the rest of the way shortly.
May 16 day 3: Seedlings planted with their rapid rooters into coco filled seedling bags, and given first nutrients. They are remaining under humidity dome. I have also started running the drip emitters to test them and dial in the amount of runoff. It is also continuing to buffer the coco so the medium will be well prepared for my seedlings when the time comes.
Day 4: the seedlings are doing well so far, so I will keep them domed for a few more inches of growth. Then I will switch to a humidifier to maintain acceptable RH.

This week wrapped up the generative two phase or midflower and began the generative three phase. The plants were fed the nutrients listed daily. I like to keep the p and k up high during the first week to twelve days of generative three. This week the weather has been more cooperative but far from ideal. The highs have ranged from mid 70's to 90 degrees f. The nights are running low to mid 60's f with humidity in the 90% range at night. Humidity has stayed somewhat high during the day ranging from 70% to mid 50% a few days only. This weather has really been testing these girls resistance. Plants 1 and 2 have been immune to pm. Plant 3 has responded well to treatment with arber. All the plants got a medium defoliation which helped. Everyone stacked this week. They have all reached their maximum height. I used the height of the tallest 87.5" for the official height. The two shorter plants are 61 and 62 inches.

HLG 260w Qb288v1 4000k; 20/4 light schedule. 24 inches from canopy. Temp range 72-81F. RH range 42-55%.
LST has really brought out the potential colas on both plants. One is lagging a bit behind the other, but not by much.
The light is so strong the plants are nearly flat due to LST - 5.5 inches tall Day 28
What should my nutrient schedule be this week? Using Fox Farms soil trio. Thinking 1/4 strength grow big and tiger bloom every other feeding.
Hoping they get a good stretch, trying to get highest yield I can (my first experience not having to purchase cannabis from anyone!)
Watering every 24 hours with 1/4 gallon pH corrected 6.3 well water ( no runoff). Entire smart pots feels light and dry before I water either plant.

Gorilla Cookies is growing well. Making some nice progress. I had to give them some organic calmag because that is all I could get locally but it seems to be working. pH has held steady and the leaf color is looking great on all the plants. Haven't had to do any maintainence this week other than defoliate a few bottom leaves and spread some branches out a little. Plants are growing bigger than I thought they would so I will have to figure something out to get them spread further apart soon. Just going to keep the juice pumping and the lights beaming. Hoping to get them under the QB lights soon. She is 28 days old in a 16 oz cup. No roots have grown out of the cup at any time. No roots have been trimmed or touched. Happy growing everyone!

Bonjour guys, so from the moment I popped this seed up until now, I've had no issues with this strain at all, no deficiencies, very easy to grow, and she is piling on the weight now, the buds are the whole length of the main colas (x4) and are over half a metre in length, I must say I'm very, VERY impressed with this pheno, I just wish I'd taken a cutting, I have got one more seed left tho 🙏🏼. Anyway, please check out my other diaries, and feel free to leave a like, maybe even a follow, and I'll be sure to check out your diaries too.

Did some more defoliation this week and gave some nutrients.They are looking happy and healthy still in vegetation stage but soon I’ll switch the light cycle.I added a scrog net and will clean up the bottoms tonight as I’m ready to switch to flower soon.I want to keep them smaller if possible in the short 3x3 60 inch high tent they are in atm with a spider farmer sf1000 light 100 percent power.Also have a Co2 bag hanging and hopefully adds a little more growth during the early flowering weeks.

Gracias al equipo de AnesiaSeeds, Marshydro, XpertNutrients y Trolmaster sin ellos esto no sería posible.
💐🍁 Oracle Octane:
Oracle Octane es una cepa altamente potente y con un alto contenido de THC elaborada a partir de una Blackberry Octane seleccionada, excepcionalmente rica en THC y aromática, y de la pesada Blackberry Oracle, inédita, de nuestro propio acervo genético. El desarrollo de esta carismática e impresionante variedad abarcó 8 generaciones y un enorme esfuerzo de cría.
La variedad tiene un sabor intenso e inolvidable que recuerda a bayas dulces y limones frescos.
Las plantas a partir de semillas crecen increíblemente hermosas y sus hojas y cogollos a menudo desarrollan tonos de rojo, morado intenso e incluso casi negro.
Esta cepa vigorosa y ligeramente índica dominante tiene un tiempo de floración de unas 9 semanas, produce hojas grandes y alcanza una altura de unos 120-130 cm en el interior.
📆 Semana 1:
Ha sido una buena semana, ella ha dado otro gran cambio en su lugar definitivo 😎.
La carpa está ocupada al 75% y comienza una floracion explosiva gracias a @Marshydro y @Xpertnutrients y @Trolmaster con esta gran genética 💪.
A partir de ahora se riega manualmente con las dosis recomendadas por el fabricante.

Smooth few days after the defoliations. They seem to be happy. Malted Milk can be very temperamental but I have been catching on to her ways. Still wary with my feedings tho. Want to give all these different nutes and unknown what the results will be? Installed ac units in each room to ensure good temperatures and RH outside the tents. Hoping for another good week!

July 6: looking good starting a new week. In a few days out I’ll add another scrog layer to space out the 16 colas.
July 7: draped a piece of scrog netting across the plant and exposed the growth tips while tucking in the fan leaves. Net is not tied down as I realize it doesn’t need to be. Will add another final scrog net in about two weeks. Hot weather forecast for next two weeks which is pretty much perfect timing. 👍👍
July 10: hot last three days (32 C) with a super high overnight low last night of nearly 20 C.
Added a second scrog layer to separate out the growth tips a bit further. Adding loose scrog net layers seems to be working quite well while maintaining the easy portability that I need to chase sunlight hours in my yard.
July 12: made it through the heat wave and now back to ideal cannabis temperatures. 👍. She looks really good this morning.

Gorilla Auto - From seed to harvest
Startling growth, they got very tall quickly. When I thought the vegetative state was about to end, they grew even taller. Beginning its flowering, I chose to research methods to optimize and circumvent its size as the dimensions of my set are not those indicated for a plant that has shown itself to be very fast to develop.
After some research: I followed some techniques to essentially “get light evenly across the plant”
Following nutrient feeding dosages recomended by manufacturers and get no trouble at all, it will grow undoubtedly to be a majestic plant to be harvested.
I got the idea that if you have more light the expected results will undoubtedly be even better than what I got with the 100w
One of the characteristics that I noticed that in just 3 weeks of growth we already smell the intense plant.
With regard to the buds I picked and in my case undoubtedly the ones that got the most light I can describe that they were superb in appearance and smoking very tasty, the lower though smaller ones came out with a very close quality too.
Undoubtedly, this plant is what we expect when we start planting, so much to see the growth and development over the weeks, at the time of its harvest feel that the results obtained are completely above expectations. : 0)
Its aroma is very good and balanced, the trip even better! ; 0)
Thank you all for your support & my special thanks to RQS for the motivation you gave me!
