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.
馃崻馃崷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 馃挭.
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! 馃
馃尡馃尡馃尡馃尡馃尡GERMINATION STAGE馃尡馃尡馃尡馃尡馃尡
- 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掳 day of veg for all 2 seedlings. I'll switch 'em to 12/12 after 40/45 days of veg.

Welcome to week 6 / week 3 of flowering!
She stretched like crazy the past 10 days, but it has slowed down now as we enter week #6. Everything has gone very smoothly so far. I will probably do some defoliation this week because it鈥檚 getting crowded in the middle.
鉁匘ay 36: No water.
鉁匘ay 37: No water.
鉁匘ay 38: 96oz of water. Defoliated bottom and center.
鉁匘ay 39: No water.
鉁匘ay 40: 96oz of water.
鉁匘ay 41: No water.
鉁匘ay 42: 96oz of water.

Huge stretch this week! They really want to touch the light. Ended up removing ff9 from the room was a bit over full. Even with the 3 strains the room is full! Lots of smells from the three strains. Lots of different phenos as well. Ff 1 and 6 and very stretchy plants ff1 has good node spacing but ff9 got a bit lanky on my. Branches do look nice and solid on all plants. The buds are starting to form nicely

After 65 days of flowering, the Mimosa was removed and dried. I was quite satisfied with this plant. it was easy to grow and didn't need much maintenance.. the smell is exactly like mandarin as described by Barneys Farm. buds are quite heavy, very hard and compact. The harvest was weighed after hanging the plant in the tent for seven days. (54.9g) trimmed weight, Now it's drying in glass jars 鉁岋笍馃徎馃槑

Well, this was a interesting first journey.... the buds finished drying today, 5 days drying, added pics and vids.
Just curing to go.... ah nice buds :)
Edit: i forgot to mention i went over the buds when i harvested them, and checked / removed any impurities, like
gnats caught in the sticky bud.... picked em clean with tweezers... 馃憤
Edit: needed to air/dry out the buds abit more, and get some Boveda Humidipak for curing.... it's looking good...
i'll update with some pics of trimmed, cured buds 馃槑
The buds turned out beautiful, pungent, pine, berry, citrusy, daytime, medical..... this has theoretical 1:1 - 21% THC, 19% CBD, so it's not going to give u a knockout high.... its medical grade 1:1 ....... side effects - happy, relaxed.
haha :)
I weighed it dry and came up with about 123.32g (4.35oz) ... i used abit of guesswork in the weight, not to concerned with weight, as to
quality.... (that weight is with the test buds added in, +-15g.) .... you can guess the weight from the pics and vids, haha
I really enjoyed growing this.... i found the website by looking up the seeds, decided to start a grow diary,
it's my first grow, i made alot of mistakes and growdiaries really helped alot, joined a chat group with some other really good growers.
Edit - Day 111 - added vid/pic, Been curing for a week, burp and roll em abit twice a day....... smell and taste nicer each day, 馃憤
Edit - Day 112 - added good vid of trimmed up test bud, beautiful ......
I hope You enjoyed the Diary..... Good Buds 馃槑

I had alot of fun growing this strain, everytime I opened the tent and smelled that delicious strawberry, it really brought a smile to my face. I have tried Strawberry Pie #1, and she is delicious. The buds are extremely dense, and have a very nice pink and green contrast. I haven't tried #2 or #3 yet, but I am very much looking forward to it after some more curing time.
I ended up making bubble hash out of the trim, and I got 8 grams, which I pressed into 4.7 grams of rosin, and all I can is that this is some of the best tasting and strongest rosin I have ever tried, let alone grown. I will be posting some videos of the flower being pressed once it is properly cured. I will say that after smoking, I realized I need some more Sativa for daytime use, so I am giving my Gorilla Cookies to a friend, and starting some Orange Sherbet instead. As a delicious night time/dessert smoke, and especially for those into concentrates, you absolutely can't go wrong. Thanks for checking me out and blaze on!

OG Fun and I are enjoying this lazy rainy Sunday together. I was going to move her to my side yard with the other ladies, but I love looking out at her鈥搒he has kind of become my muse. She鈥檚 branching out beautifully and has a classic Christmas tree shape. As she's getting plenty of sun and growing healthy, I鈥檓 going to keep her up here for the time being.
Her pre-flowers are slowly starting to disappear, but no other changes to report this week. I'm using the same fertilizer blend (per gallon):
- Soy hydrolysate (12-0-0) - 2.43 grams (160 ppm nitrogen (77 ppm from soy hydrolysate + 27 ppm from liquid fertilizer + 56 ppm from potassium nitrate))
- Liquid Fertilizer (4-10-3) - 2.6 grams (30 ppm phosphorus - measured with a cup on a scale)
- Potassium Nitrate (13.5-0-46.2) - 1.56 grams (175 ppm potassium (158 ppm from potassium nitrate + 17 ppm from liquid fertilizer))
- Soy hydrolysate, liquid fertilizer, and potassium nitrate are combined together with no noticeable precipitation
- Micronutrient liquid fertilizer (0.75% Mg, Mn, Ca, Zn, Cu, B, Ni, Fe) - 15 ml (delivered separately on a different day to avoid precipitation when blended with the 4-10-3)

While we're not huge on autoflower plants, this one turned out really nice, not a huge yield, maybe just over an Oz dry but her bag appeal can't be beat.. we may actually grow this strain again but probably outdoors, our autos always seem to preform better in the garden. Thanks for reading and happy growing everyone

Strong genetics, resistant, fast enough, easy to grow and never pretentious. I will try further training techniques on this strain, while waiting to make more room in the box to plant the Red hot cookie as well. If you like sweet flavors and fragrant plants this is definitely for you! Soon new updates for a cycle of only plants in "monstercropping", to continue my eternal red garden 馃榿馃 thanks for following me up to here and leave a comment and suggestions 馃馃憤馃

Was a tough last few weeks lots of work to be done big problem with humidity finally sourced a good enough dehumidifier and added another 1200 light. Lemon skunks were suppose to be autos but no signs of flowering yet so I'm forcing them with 12/12. No room left in the tent now because photos are going into flower too
