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.

Week 2.I rearranged a few lights in my grow room to get rid of unnecessary lighting and I also moved my auto flowers to their own separate environment. Only about three more weeks left on the Auto’s and I’ll be done for now. I plan on using a harvest right freeze dryer to cure

They're just now finishing up their big stretch. Had some clawing from nitrogen toxicity during the flip but a light flush has the new growth back to normal.

Purple Punch Auto gibt Vollgas. Krasser Stretch, sehr durstig. Ich habe Verfärbungen in den Blättern entdeckt. Chlorosen? Insgesamt sieht sie weiterhin fit aus. Ich versuche ein sanftes Spülen gegen eine evtl. Versalzung. Später stellt sich heraus, dass das wahrscheinlich geholfen hat.

Day 34: Watered with first dose of flowering nutrients (1ml B, 1ml SR). ***I’m gonna break character here for a few mins. If that messes with anyone’s head because you are so deep into the storyline, then you can just pretend this is the director talking. I really wasn’t liking the look of the plant. There was loads of leaves with big very long stems. If it was earlier in the summer I would just put it outside and start another one inside. I don’t have that luxury so I’ll just have to see how it goes. I done some serious defoliation, removing more than 20 leaves. I’m not holding out much hope for a big yield. Day 37: Watered with just PH’d water. Day 39: Watered with Nutrients (1ml B, 1ml SR) ***Character break again. I saw the plant today for the first time in six days. More leaves are after growing big long stems. The few flowers on this plant are topping away nicely. It looks like 3 good bud sites maybe and 2 smaller ones. I have a Rhino Ryder in a 4ltr pot growing next to this Skywalker which looks like it will produce a bigger yield. Either way we have to just see what happens. I’ll hand you back to Luke now for the rest of the grow. Day 40: Continued to use the Force to make the plant grow. This place is really starting to remind me of my time training with Master Yoda on Dagobah. Removed a few leaves with long stems.

Hallo everyone 🦊 so i got question? Would you defo this plant? Im not sure about it cause i read that cutting leaf of stress they to much and dont have the time to recover? I just put the seed in the soil and let her do the rest. Maybe helping a little bit her to finish the flower as perfect as possible would not be so bad 🥦🦊 Thanks for all advice. Grazie Merci Danke Dankje well Obrigado Muchas Gracias ✌️

D-70 : Chaco Haze. They just look amazing, even 1/4 is very small (about 40cm). At this stage she should be 60 or 70 cm high... Anyway, the flowers are doing great. I really hope the will continue to grow. I dream of a grow room full of flowers between 1 and 1.4 m high ! Still 8-9 weeks to go, so they have time :)

Day 65. Boy oh boy how i am happy, that i don't give a f@ck about this harvest ... I have golden rule - don't grow inside during summer ! And thats why ... Last days temps was reaching 34-36 inside !!! Humidity everywhere and heat stress pushed nitrogen excess even further, some top buds will be all in foxtails with slim shitty , leafy buds around ... Was terrible heat wave and i couldn't hold it, some strains took it way easier, but that one with unlove to N - is a sad picture .... So now i don't know what to do, feed them or not .... Its like Hamlets grow, constant to be or not to be questions around ... P.S. have to admit, that i was stupid enough and gave them lite worm castings tea, 180 ppm only, but i guess it had loads of N inside, my normal outdoor plants loved it, so i thought it should be good for my girls aswell ... WRONG ;))) Now i have like 8 overdosed with N plants, which are bigger than average and i have the rest, which would love more food, cal mag especially, and proper PK boost ... Totally lost, how stupid is to put random strains in one pot, very very very stupid ... More stupid is to play with sick plants , they where almost recovered from N toxicity .. Me and my desire to do it a bit better ... ;)))) Update 2 : i found what is wrong, those plants looked like reveging more, than heat and N excess , and .... when i was lifting lights up, one of wires touched timer,in the middle of night - 15 min of day .... Idiot .... Had a feeling to check, but weed laziness whispered me - everything is Ok ;)))))))) Update 3. Got so pissed from my careless, that bought Bluelab Combo, now i will know whats in my soil and i would check lights earlier if i knew that ( hopefully ;)) ) soil is underfed ;))) 200 pounds down ... and pitty harvest waiting ;(((( At least next one will be with full guns ! Sweet seeds strains, new ventilation system (nearest future upgrade) and now - full control over soil. New pot drain trays bought aswell ... Grower still the same tho .... ;))))))))) Day 67. First hermie found. This plant was tallest, so i had to supercrop it, maybe its was too many things just for this plant, anyway "Watchout" series 24/7 ... Lights changed to 11.5 day - 12.5 night. Craziest run ever .... Day 70. BlueLab Combo Plus arrived. Ph 6.2-6.4 - perfect, but no food tho. So today full feed watering, ph 6.5, ppm 800. This freakshow makes my heading, yesterday my holiday destination quarantined my country, so holidays are gone, could start new run now even and put them all to hash. Next week will show - if they recover , ill finish them, still issues - bubble hash time !!! ;))) Happy growing !!!

Que hay fumetillas, terminamos el primer mes de floración, pensé que serían algo más rápidas pero bueno, tengo tiempo, aun así hay que ver hasta el final que es lo que sucede. Controlamos ph humedad por debajo de 45% temperatura media de 24.5 grados, aumentó una vez por semana la cantidad de ml por producto, último cultivo con advancednutrients, los próximos proyectos los trabajaré con AgroBeta. Buenos humos fumetillas 💨💨💨

Coming along nicely this week, hoping to see them explode in the next 2-3weeks. All are very healthy and have responded just how I like to LST. Purpinator is bringing out the smells in there definately and they are all smelling good in their own way. I recommend all the products I have used in this diary highly as they haven't failed me in the past(yield and quality). The only new product I am using is green planet purpinator, so I will let you know if I recommend this too when all is finished. I'll upload daily or every couple of days. To clarify I have 6x 55litre buckets with 3 plants of the same strain in each. I have used coco substrate and grown all of them from seed(courtesy of barney's farm) Thanks for looking.

**Encontrarás la traducción a español al final de la descripción** From/Desde: 19/04/19 || To/Hasta: 25/04/19 From day/Desde día: 57 || To day/Hasta día: 63 You can find the Gorillas Diary here (Texts are the same this week): ** Podéis encontrar el diario de las Gorilla aquí (Los textos son iguales esta semana):** https://growdiaries.com/diaries/25675-makingmoney-with-gorilla-mm-vs-gorilla -----IMAGES & VIDEOS----- 1 - Before defoliation 2 - Defoliation 3 - After defoliation -----WEEK SUMMARY----- (Following text was translated with tools and reviewed, sorry for mistakes, misspellings or nosense things) As you can see I've done a defoliation this week. Yes, I have really gone over the top, I have removed many more leaves than I had, and the tails of the plants has not come to join at all due to the failed defoliation. Being the first defoliation I do, I did not really know what I was doing and I went crazy. Now that it has been several weeks since I made this defoliation, I realize that I should not have removed the leaves from the nodes of the tails, because they have stopped growing and have not joined with their superior parts. Anyway, the plants are beautiful today and although they could be much better I feel very happy with them. I know I've made 2 fatal mistakes in this grow - The first has been the massive defoliation badly done, defoliation yes, but with head ... do not follow my example. - The second failure that I see today, is that I did not leave enough growth time (18/6) after having made the last pruning and that has made the tails have been a length much less than what would have been desired, I think that 2 more weeks of growth would have been perfect. -----WATERING CALENDAR----- 20/04/19 - 1,250 ml with Sensizym, Silica, Rhino Sk, Bud Ignitor, Big Bud, Bud Candy & Bud Factor-x @ PH6.4 & 1.2 E.C. 23/04/19 - 1,250 ml with All week nutrients - (Silica, Sensizym & Bud Ignitor) @ PH6.5 & 1.5 E.C. *****ESPAÑOL***** -----IMÁGENES Y VÍDEOS----- 1 - Antes de la defoliación 2 - Defoliación 3 - Después de la defoliación -----SUMARIO SEMANAL----- Como podéis ver esta semana he hecho una defoliación. Si, efectivamente me he pasado de listo, he quitado muchas más hojas de las que debía y las colas de las plantas no ha llegado a unirse del todo debido a la fallida defoliación. Al ser la primera defoliación que realizo, no sabía muy bien que hacía y me lancé a lo loco. Ahora que han pasado varias semanas desde que realicé esta defoliación, me doy cuenta de que no debí de haber quitado las hojas de los nodos de las colas, pues estos han dejado de crecer y no se han unido con sus partes superioras. De todas maneras, las plantas están preciosas a día de hoy y aunque podrían estar mucho mejor me doy con un canto en los dientes. Se que he cometido 2 errores gordos en este cultivo - El primero ha sido la defoliación masiva mal realizada, defoliación si, pero con cabeza.... no sigáis mi ejemplo. - El segundo fallo que yo veo a día de hoy, es que no dejé suficiente tiempo de crecimiento (18/6) después de haber realizado las últimas podas y eso ha hecho que las colas hayan quedado de una longitud muy inferior a la que hubiera deseado, creo que 2 semanas más de crecimiento hubiera sido perfecto. -----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO----- 20/04/19 - 1.250 ml con Sensizym, Silica, Rhino Sk, Bud Ignitor, Big Bud, Bud Candy y Bud Factor-x @ PH6.4 & 1,2 E.C. 23/04/19 - 1.250 ml con todos los nutrientes semanales - (Silica, Sensizym y Bud Ignitor) @ PH6,5 & 1,5 E.C.
