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.

We are at day 21 on this Cali snow and she is doing well. Takes training great and she hit a nice growth spurt at the beginning of the week. The girls are getting crowded but the setup is running like a well oiled machine. I will have to get them spread further apart somehow and they will be going under the QB lights soon. If I can keep the momentum going as smooth as it has been we might just get some late summer snow! Happy growing everyone.

Guys, I haven't done anything this week 🤦🏻♂️ but i made a lot of content
I had a lot of other things to do, so I didn't touch the girls and gave them complete freedom - they turned out to be whores and got very loose 😂
This weekend I'm taking the girls to the salon, we'll do a new haircut and then I'll give them 12 hours of rest 💚☘️🥦💕❤️😍

Week 4 Day 1 all 3 plants were transplanted from smaller cups in to 5 gallon fabric pots yesterday and seem to be taking to their new homes nicely, a little bit of leaf curling but I did give them a pretty intense watering. I picked up a bag of Fox Farms Happy Frog potting mix for them now that they are in 5 gallons, hopefully they will be happy in the better quality soil. If all continues to go well with the transplant I will be topping hopefully in the next couple days. I will be trying to manifold at least one of these plants.
Week 4 Day 4 All 3 plants seem to have recovered nicely from their transplanting. I topped all three plants today and attempted two clones from the toppings of KBGB1 and Jack Herer, made a mini greenhouse for them out of a tomato cage and some cellophane
Week 4 Day 5 I cleaned up all the undergrowth below the third node in preparation to start manifolding.

Let's remember, in week 6 one of my king's tart had been broken in 2 because of the tension due to my bad LST.
This plant grows much taller than the others. I'm trying to lower his height by doing HST. Currently she does not seem to complain about it.
I preferred to remove my net this week, to more easily access my plants and water them. I hope the branches will hold
I cut a lot of leaf this week. I hear different opinions that say it's beneficial others not... At least it will have the advantage of lowering the humidity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Water: tap water at 300 PPM, I add 0.7G of Hybrid powder and 0.3g of booster PK+ per liter to reach 950PPM and I adjust the PH to 5.8. I watered daily until water drained from the pot (to release nutrients from previous waterings) and I take a 3-4 day watering break to let it dry out before resuming a daily watering schedule.
-Daytime temperature: 22-26°C
-Night temperature: 20-24°C
-Humidity: 50-75% ( Too high but it's hard to lower it... I need advice please contact me if you have :) )
-Lamp: Mars Hydro FC3000. intensity 90% at 35cm from the top leaves
-Room: Mars Hydro 100x100x180cm
-Extractor: Mars hydro 402 CFM Max. power 3/10
-Substrate : 70% coco, 25% perlite, 5% vermiculite.

Day 43 : Watering with co2 tab / 5L. Also added food again because i think they need it. Increased ppm to 850. Maybe the next one will be pure water. Ventilation works all the time when lights are on. Temp and humi are stable and this is good for the girls. Patience is the key always. Also removed some burned leaves from all ladies.
Edit (Day 47) : Watering with co2 tab every 5L. I watered with juices again at 850ppm because i felt that they need it. Only DsD drank pure water because of burns. NL stopped also vertical growth, started to fatten her buts. :D Her main cola will be huge.

Hello, nouvelle session, et 1ere expérience cette fois ci en coco. Avec une nouvelle gamme d’engrais de chez Canna, ainsi que le substrat en coco de chez Canna aussi
J’ai constaté que les graines de Quick Critical+ ont germées très vite par rapport à la terre, ici, à peine 72h pour les 1ères. Et un joli 100% pour la germination!! Merci dinafem!👍🔥
J’ai pu aussi constaté que le réglage du PH et de l’Ec prennent ici toute leur importance,, puisque pour mes 1er arrosages j’ai oublié de contrôler l’Ec, résultat, légère brûlure sur le bout des 1ères feuilles,, j’ai immédiatement corrigé en contrôlant et en ajustant l’Ec,, les choses devraient rentrer dans l’ordre maintenant.
Voilà pour cette 1ere semaine de découverte de la culture en coco,,,
A la semaine prochaine...
Happy grow...😎

12/6 Update - seed is germinated and ready to grow! I will post a new weekly update tomorrow!
So I had to scrap this plant - it was just growing too slow and it was unfortunately not a health plant. I decided to remove the plant altogether and have started a new seed. Since this plant will be four week behind its neighbor in the tent I will have to modify my approach to training on this one. I typically mainline - mostly just to utilize the space in the best way that I can. This time around I think I will just top it maybe once or twice and then let it recover for two weeks then flip to flower and manage out the lower branches from there. It will be kind of fun to do a side by side with these. The neighbor plant is super healthy and is almost ready for its first topping, I did however go through today and remove all of the growth from the plant (other than topping) so that should slow that one down quite a bit and give this new plant some what of a chance to catch up.
Also - check out the worms!!! I pulled out that plant and reached down into the soil just to see what the worm activity was looking like - I pulled out this little ball of freshly hatched worms!
Barney's Farm Gorilla Zkittles - Feminized. I'll be growing just one of these plants in this 2x4x5 tent. It will be growing side by side with another plant but I wanted to be able to document them separately.
This is my fourth grow using this set up, I'm excited to document the process this time around!
The seed broke ground today! Photos and time-lapse coming soon!

Hello. This is the last week for these plants.
I don't know if I'll start harvest in the first 2 tents or in here first. Flip a coin I guess....
Turned down the lights to 60% yesterday. Getting ready for harvest the plants are getting a break from the intense lights.
The plants are looking a bit more yellow as they pull what they need from the fanleaves as they mature before harvest.
I'll show pre harvest pics next week.
OK. Be Great...
Chuck.
