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.

So since last feed was at 3/4 I thought to give her the full dose. Found the temperature was dropping below 10 on a night so I bought a fan heater to go under the plant and circulate greenhouse.
After the first day of 28/27 degree heat some of the fan leaves started to change colour and dry up which I got advice on and found this is normal when coming to the end of your cycle also found I had spider mites
Found some of them and removed also sprayed plant down and flushed

the plant grew pretty nice, and i am thinking if i should let them flower more or not, your suggestions will help me figure out what would be best, i will appreciate any input! THANK YOU! and also your opinion on the growth of the plant, who experienced with this strain, and what they got out of it? it smells amazing! super strong smell also started to develop some purple into the buds, still trying to see if i should let it flower more... can t wait to cure it and smoke it :) peace!

Las temperaturas volvieron a bajar y llegan algunas tormentas que incrementan riesgo de botritis de hecho una de ellas cogió el hongo por lo que hice un lavado rapido de raices quite las zonas mas afectadas y corte la planta para ponerla a secar

This was a fun week, the plants got their first feeding from the TripTonic line of nutrients. I did a light feeding and then had to readjust as the EC was a bit low considering the size of the plants. The runoff was a bit high and this maybe because of all the left over from the pro mix slow release, thought it would have been used up by now. They will get the same water as the rest of the plants on the deck for the remainder of the week. I don't know if the PH will get out of wack because of this, but given that it is mainly peat and it tends to be acidic I think I'm in the clear. The little video was fun to splice together too.
Got a little package in the mail from a fellow grower. @GottaGrowSometime has shared some of their Fast Buds winnings and sent me some green crack cbd 1:1 and cbd 20:1, they also threw in seed of the cherry coke and a few extras. This is going to help me test out their CBD lineup and see if its worth growing out. Big shoutout to them for being a great community member. In return I will be sending them some of my backcrossed Dinamed CBD Kush Autoflower seeds I made, the testing is going well so best to see what it can do in other growers hands.

It's finally time for the space in the blossom tent to be free :-) .
In the coming days I will put them in the flowering tent.
Watering would be done twice this week with 1 l each (nutrients see table above)
Otherwise it was checked and everything was cleaned.
Have fun and stay healthy 💚🙏🏻

Flowering day 7
since time change
to 12/12 h.
Hey guys :-)
The flowering started last week because otherwise the space in the small tent would end up being too narrow :-)
Cuttings were taken from each phenotype beforehand.
To change the flower, I rinsed it very lightly with clean fruits.
With the next watering she gets a mix of grow liquid and bloom liquid before she only gets bloom.
The heating mat works perfectly in the small tent and the parameters are all in the optimal range 🙏🏻👍.
Now we hope that everything stays that way and that the cold days will slowly pass :-) .
Everything was cleaned and checked.
have fun and stay healthy 🙏🏻

Hoping that this week will not be a tennis match with my PH and my nutrient solution. Last week I saw my solution drop a full point in a matter of hours - consistently. I also ditched the PH up/down dosers crutch two grows ago, and I am not missing it as the intel is far better without them. IMO PH dosers do not give you real-time feeding feel from your plant - yet they adjust your PH to the "Perfect" level. Less is more in this craft, and in more ways than not. There is a balance between technology, automation, efficiency and most importantly - humans. If we removed the human element out of a grow, the product will be inferior, right?
- trichome check showed mostly cloudy, with a few random amber if one looks hard enough.
She’s ripening nice and reservoir running fairly normal for late flower. Wonder if that zero water filters-gone-bad caused my major PH crashes.
Fed her KookBloom dry only this week and now in a 2 day flush. Should be about 10% amber.

2 out of 4 plants are a week maybe less from harvest, which will be day 100. the other 2 plants are a week or more behind. I reckon the delay(as Chunga pointed out)is from the cold temps first month or so. Next year I’ll wait till mid may to plant. But overall I’m very pleased with how they are growing, they be small but looks like I’ll have a successful harvest. 🤘😶🌫️🤘
