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.

Started flush now. I'm adding Nature Delight Active Sugar Boost as it's been recommended to boost terpene production. No idea if it will work this late into flower but trying anyway as apparently it has no need to be flushed and is fully organic.

Royal Gorilla forming a lot of tops from LST training.
Seems like it’s 1-2 weeks behind the others which are starting their flowering stretch.
Hope it’s longer growth pays off !

With great joy I will start my second season growing cannabis. I hope to learn from some small mistakes from the first season where I was surprised by my performance as a first-time sailor cultivating the BlueDream strain. This season I left the 4 seeds of GorillaGlue 36hrs in a pot of water to break the dormancy. After that I used the napkin technique for more 42 hrs. So I put each one in a 5-gallon airpot, as they are automatic and go to harvest in the same pot. After 24hrs in the vase the first 2 little leaves came out. I made a homemade dome with a 2-gallon water bottle, cutting it into strips and lining it with plastic with some holes to keep the humidity high during this initial phase. We entered the first week of cultivation and unfortunately due to an oversight I got confused in the fertilizer table and clearly the dreaded overfert happened. I did a watering only with water to try to remove the excess fertilizer let's hope it works.

It has been raining and raining since whatever... 2 weeks....checked the trichomes nice milky white.
Based on the fact the the weather won't be better and also the temperature is lower day by the now usually 6 Celsius degrees in the evening and 13-16 during the day or less, I decided to harvest next week.
I was thinking to let her out 3 more weeks just to have more amber trichomes but she is OK, ready but this weather is not ...
She is sativa dominant as I saw in the breeder's description so totally cool.
So she ain't gonna be maturing that much she reached the point.... especially because no sun....
... but compare to that she has som nice colas so I am excited let's see soo guys. Thanks all of you checking this progress out.
Beautiful lady, large LST made her really nice literally she looks like more plant but yes ONLY ONE PLANT IN THE PICTURE AND THE GARDEN :)
Have a lovely day :)

Slight delay on this weeks entry as I have been busy with work!
Week 6 of flowering was very stress free & the buds are getting really solid! Trichs are milky & all 3 ladies overall are lookin gorgeous.
I've included a video this week so make sure to go through all the photos 😁
I've been upping my watering to around 750ml per day & the girls haven't had any issues drinking it all up.
I did change the light cycle from 20/4 to 18/6 at the start of this week to give the ladies some extra sleep & time to get fatter.
Light defoliation has continued as some of the leaves are starting to yellow & I've removed a few extras from around the bigger buds to give them some extra air.
They all are looking so good & I'm loving the smell! It is understandable why this strain is called Blueberry!
Check back soon, 2 weeks left! 😊🌿

Week 9
Hi everyone 😁
I am very pleased how girls are developing in recent days. Aroma is very fruity and a bit gasy. Sort of riped mango / pineapple. They are so frosty alraady and buds are developing very well. Was little bit worried that last week defoliation may stunt girls too much but really this strain showing no signs of any stress. The way things are looking these girls may be ready for harvest in about 2 weeks😁
Will keep updating progress of this week every couple days.
Have a great week everyone 🍀✌️
18/09 Day 57
Started watering with approx. of 2.5 ltr of solution until runoff per pot and this should last for 2 days. Girls like this magic mixture very much 😁
21/09 Day 60
Cant belive it's only 2 months since planting seeds. Everything is going well. Thankfully no issues at all.
Slow develop girl "Nuna" it's way behind the other 2 girls soon to be ladies "Luna" and "Sweet Mary Jane". but I'm glad that I have kept her as her flowers are small but frosty and she will be perfect for some cannabutter or bubble hash. Other 2 girls as all see they are absolutely gorgeous. Buds are gaining weight and that frost OMG love it. Will get some close up pics of trichomes over the weekend.
23/09 Day 62
Still lots of white pistils and currently trichomes level at 2-5% amber and rest are clear and milky. My personal preference for harvest 60-80% amber so will keep feeding with nutrients for few more days and will keep monitoring trichomes before switching to only water.
24/09 Day 63
End of week 9
Not much work this week. All been going great. Buds are now very sticky and they are smelling very fruity sort of lemony, zesty, apples and mangos.
Thank you all for all the support, comments and likes. It's some great community here.
Stay tuned for more updates in coming week.
Peace and love ✌️💚

Getting there... cant wait for Spring
Walls are up and painted, floor is laid, electrical all done, exhaust outlets mounted. Ive started to install the trim - I decided to put a grey stain instead of boring paint on the floor trim boards. Looks really solid against the dark bamboo floors.
I used two gallons and two coats of flat pure white paint for walls and ceiling. Should give me a reflectivity somewhere around 80%. Some may ask why not opt for mylar? I just dont like the look. I dont care too much for reflectivity, as I will be well above the required watts/sqft with the light setup I will be using.
I mounted an electrical receptacle in the ceiling, I thought it may come in handy for cord management. Im going to mount the 3 x meanwell drivers outside of the grow room and run some extra long cables to them. This is to keep heat out of the room, any little bit helps.
Will be running a 8inch fan with about 750 CFM in order to properly vent the room. Intake will be a door vent and the negative pressure the fan provides. Odor is not too much of a concern, but may as well add a carbon filter.
Tables to be built this week after trim is installed
Week 1 Spend - $2080
Week 2 Spend - $350 (mostly on hardware store visits)
Total so far - $2430

Bisher lief fast alles problemlos und ich hab mich weiter am LST probiert.
Mir ist ein Ast komplett abgebrochen, aber ich konnte ihn wieder festmachen und er ist verwachsen. Allerdings ist der Ertrag sehr schlecht im Vergleich zu den anderen Ästen. (siehe Bild: Bruch)
Werde das nicht wieder versuchen.

BUENOS DÍAS familia , ya es viernes y toca actualizar semana.
Las lemon kush empiezan apestar, entramos en la recta final, veremos cómo engordan estas últimas semanas.
Hemos bajado la humedad hasta 45% y la temperatura bajo algo también, lo cual tampoco es malo.
Aplicaremos algo de PK en polvo para endurecer las flores estas ultimas semanas.
Os dejo una serie de fotos y vídeos para que contempléis la evolución de las flores.

The grow ended on day 100 from seed.
The latest trichome check showed plenty of amber on the buds, so it was time for her to come down.
784g/27.66oz wet - anticipating perhaps 5-6oz dry - time will tell.
Overall this grow has gone pretty smoothly.

📅 Week 5 – Day 35 / FLO 7
BOX: 50x50 - lampa 100W
🌞 Temp: 26°C
💦 RH: 62 - 64%
💥 PPFD: 700 µmol
🌬️ VPD: 1.3
Both showed their sex on the same day, so it’s looking good – they’re developing evenly.
I’m watering daily with 600–800 ml (5L pots), EC between 0.8 and 1.1.
