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.

13.3.23 Ich habe 150 (ppm) Wasser verschüttet, bisher hervorragende Entwicklung. Licht bei 50 % Alien Moonrocks | Original Sensible Seeds Die neue Sorte Alien Moonrocks von der Westküste der USA ist eine Fusion aus Sour Dubble und Tahoe Alien und eine der stärksten Cannabissorten in unserer Sammlung - Sie wird Sie wie eine Rakete treffen. Diese kosmische Hybride strotzt nicht nur vor Potenz, sondern blüht auch unglaublich schnell. Indoor ist diese unglaubliche Pflanze in nur 60 Tagen bereit für die Ernte und produziert schwere Erträge von riesigen, übergroßen Colas, die mit THC-Harzkristallen getränkt sind. Geben Sie diesen himmlischen grünen Schönheiten eine zusätzliche Blütezeit von 5 oder 7 Tagen und sie werden noch dickere, dichtere Knospen mit einem Potenzgrad von bis zu 33% liefern, die Sie in eine Zeitkapsel katapultieren werden. Limonen ist das dominierende Terpen in diesen Pflanzen und es erzeugt die sensationellen pikanten Zitrusaromen zusammen mit der Anwesenheit von Linalool, Myrcen und Caryophyllen, die sich zu frischen, fruchtigen Pfirsichnoten verbinden, um Sie mit diesem erstaunlich stimulierten, kräftigen Rausch aufzusteigen, der sich in schwere narkotische Entspannung entlädt Sie fühlen sich wie in der oberen Atmosphäre schwebend. Alle schriftlichen und visuellen Materialien sind nur für Informations- und Bildungszwecke bestimmt. Diese Woche habe ich mich entschieden, ein großes Zelt Mars Hydro 120•120 zu installieren, für eins und eine Lampe mit großer Reichweite FC E4800. Ich habe die Klimaanlage eingerichtet, jetzt liegt die Temperatur bei etwa 24, ich habe zwei Lüfter installiert, um den Secret Jardin Monkey Fan 20w zu blasen, ich wollte sie schon lange kaufen. Die Heizung funktioniert auch! Hoffe es wird bald wärmer 😅

Week 10 brought on a wave of maturity. The plant is clearly in her final chapter - the fade has intensified, but it's graceful and expected. Buds are swelling, the scent profile has deepened, and structure remains solid and symmetrical. 💛 Yellowing & Defoliation I removed a fair number of yellowing fan leaves this week. Most came off effortlessly, the stems giving way with a gentle pull. The yellowing has crept upward slightly, but no signs of distress or runaway deficiency. It's senescence - and it feels like the right time. 💧 Feeding & Watering This week I broke my usual rhythm and fed twice in a row, both times at full strength, which the plant handled perfectly. The yellowing seemed to halt afterward - no fresh tip burn, no clawing. Nutrient mix (per 2L water): 3.5 mL Micro 3.5 mL Grow 5.0 mL Bloom (PH’d to 6.43 using hard tap water) On Day 70, she was visibly dry, so I gave her 2L of plain pH 6.43 water. She drank it eagerly - dryback is getting quicker as the buds pull harder now. 🌿 Aroma & Structure She's putting out a layered, sweet-and-spicy scent - cookie dough, citrus peel, pine, and a warm touch of cardamom. Colas are dense, resin-heavy, and impressively uniform. The trellis net came off this week to open up the canopy and prepare for harvest. 🧠 Harvest Considerations According to Zamnesia’s specs, she could be ready around now - but visually and chemically, she’s still not there. I'm aiming for a harvest on Day 80 (July 24), just before I leave. Someone else will handle the chop shortly after I leave for vacation. The trichomes were still mostly clear at the end of this week, with no amber visible yet - but we’re watching closely. I’m not chasing heavy amber, just looking for that sweet spot of peak cloudy with a touch of amber for depth.

Happy New Grow Year 🎈🌿🌹🌺🌻🔥🤩😍 to all my fellow Gromie's may it be a joyful & bountiful & of course quality new grow year. The 2 Orange sherbet clones are powering on! #1 is going to really fill out the space In the flowering tent 🤩 she is going to go nuts in flowering stretch! #2 going great as well. Unfortunately I should have have replanted the clones earlier last week when photos were taken as they were very healthy. But after checking on them 1 night, came in next night to find I hadn't turned the pump back on! & Yeah the heat had gotten to them a bit, have been replanted into final homes, put into veg tent, the 2&3 stem clones have suffered & dying off. Obviously couldn't support all the growth of 2& 3 stems being a bit unhealthy. The single stem clones are all coming back to health. Had planned to grow 3 Afghan kush, which didn't germinate ( seeds mafia) , & thankfully I've got these 2 girls to put into flower in the next few weeks once the flowering run is done. Was supposed to have 4 plants ready to go in & replace the ones that get harvested , going to start some new FF strains.👍

Muy buenas amig@s!! Me encanta el olor que desprende esta cepa! Esta en su fase de engorde y se nota por dias. Lleva 16 dias a 12/12 horas ya que las tengo con feminizades y les cambie el fotoperiodo

Que pasa familia, esta semana hemos lavado las raíces de un ejemplar, el otro ejemplar se le sigue echando nutrientes. Ph controlado, intentaremos aguantar esa planta alguna semana más, las otra por lo menos aún le quedan un par de semanas. Ph controlado bajamos humedad a 35% y la temperatura la mantenemos por debajo de 27. Estas flores están cogiendo unas tonalidades increíbles, y empieza a desprender unos aromas brutales como a ácido.

Week 2 of flower is in the books and all 3 girls are looking extremely healthy. Perfect time to start packing on the weight. There are tons if bud sites that will get tons of light due to all the defoliation I've done. I've never defiliated plants this much before and I'm curious to see the difference in bud production below the canopy level. I love trying new things and experimenting with these plants. Always coming up with new ideas on how to do things and making things easier along the way. Can't wait to see how much I'll get off all 3 and see the difference in phenotypes.

11/03 - Mother moved into her own 17 gallon tote - running lights on dome and in tote - super topped - running high humidity and high temps - nute feeds are the same - tied down all 4 coles thus far. 11/06 - tote dome is holding up nicely - transplanting into 7 gallons and 2x2 tent swap.

Orion F1 organic, dry amendments. The plant is really developing the flowers while they look really dense, and like they will be some very top shelf buds! The buds are beginning to stack on weight now, and hopefully, we'll just see the colas become larger and larger as we go on from here! I have gone through the tent this week, and I have removed a lot of the lower branches on the plants, as they're not going to grow into big colas or anything. So it's better not to waste the plant's energy, developing those to hopefully redirect it into the larger flowers. I'm really impressed with this plant so far, and the organic dry amendments are really working wonders, and that's been really eye-opening for me during this experiment! I'm very pleased that Royal Queen Seeds were kind. Enough to allow me to try this experiment with some of the F1 hybrid strains. It has been, and continues to be an extremely exciting experiment, and I am again learning more and more with each plant. I cannot wait for harvest and to see what these buds look like after I've dried and trimmed them! 3.8.25: I watered with 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.2 with; 💜 1ml Trace PH: 6.2 PPM: 371 I've just been keeping the medium, not bone dry, but there were some fungus gnats. So I have let it dry out more than I usually would probably, because I wanted to sprinkle some Diatomaceous Earth on the soil, and it only works when it's dry. 4.8.25: I watered with 3ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.6 with; 💜 3ml Ecothrive Trace 💜 1.25 TSP Ecothrive Biosys PH: 6.6 PPM: 385 I am going to top dress next week as I checked and it has been exactly a month since I last did one. Thanks for checking in and hanging out 😁💚✌️🌱🙏
