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.

Lilly x White Widow is finishing up her bulking. I did a solution change a few days ago. She has about 2 weeks left. My biggest issue will be I have 5 plants all closet done that will be all finishing at once. So I gotta spave them out to get them all in the cannatrol. Everything is going well.

So pictures were taken at the end of week 6 going into 7. My biggest complaint would be that I should have double trellised. These guys are huge. The colas are getting increasingly heavy. I've attempted to string up some of the cholas but its a fleeting attempt. The smell is insane. Its alot more fruity this week. A buddy mentioned he smelled peanut butter notes. I smell fron the small one heavy limes, deiselly, duke. The larger one is more sticky and has like a lemony pepperish fruit thing going on but either way im excited. I will cut down on cal mag and sturdy stalk these last weeks. I havnt done anything extreme with ph. I got some interesting color changes. A little concerned im confusing color changes for the plant leaves drying out but I haven't had any immediate concerns to change up anything. Almost there!

Fantastica settimana! Finalmente iniziano a formarsi i fiori e i primi peli! Per la prima volta ho aggiunto una seconda rete per aiutare lo scrog, sono molto soddisfatto, ho solamente dovuto lasciare un buco nella rete per far passare il vaporizzatore per tenere bassa la temperatura del box e di conseguenza dell'acqua nai vasi. Ho risolto il problema della muffa sulle radici grazie al trichoderma e alle micorizze, stanno tornando come nuove dopo un mesetto non proprio positivo sotto questo punto di vista, anzi, se peggiora a rischiavo di non arrivare alla fine del raccolto. Corso sono stato un pelino alto con l'ec, arrivando quasi a 2.8,l'ho abbassata rabboccando. Manca un mese, siamo nel momento clou 😍😍🤩🤩😝😝🍀🍀🍀🔝🔝🔝💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Greetings, fellow cultivators and cannabis aficionados! It's that time again for a progress update on my cannabis grow diary. The journey continues to be an exciting one, with each day bringing new developments and surprises.
The plants are on a determined mission to bulk up, and I couldn't be happier with their progress. Their growth during this flowering phase has been nothing short of remarkable. The buds are swelling day by day, becoming more robust and enticing. It's a rewarding sight that speaks volumes about the care and attention that have gone into their cultivation.
With the buds maturing, the next milestone on the horizon is the impending flush. As the plants approach the final stage of their growth cycle, a flush will be in order to cleanse them of any accumulated nutrients. This process sets the stage for a smooth and flavorsome harvest, ensuring that the true essence of the buds shines through.
One of the most captivating aspects of this phase is the visual transformation the plants undergo. As you can see from the photos, the buds have started to exhibit a mesmerizing purple hue. This natural phenomenon is a joy to behold and adds a touch of mystique to the grow space. The interplay of vibrant green and rich purple hues is a testament to the unique genetics of these plants.
The journey thus far has been an amalgamation of learning, dedication, and admiration for the resilience of these cannabis plants. As we continue to nurture them through their final stretch, I'm reminded of the incredible community that surrounds this hobby. Your support and shared experiences have been invaluable in shaping this journey.
Stay tuned for the upcoming flush and the final phase of this cultivation endeavor. Until then, keep cultivating with passion and keep celebrating the magic of cannabis!

So I am entering week 2 of the 12/12 flip, the ladys are showing sex so hopefully later in the week I will get actual pistils so I can start counting down flower days.
Day 9 seen pistils but I had to perform a major defoliation as under the canopy was bad and I didnt want powdery mildew due to leafs sweating ect.
Day 10 24 hours after defoliation, you could not tell I done a thing to them, im hoping its just a odd leaf now and then thru the rest of the flowering period.
Any advice is welcome guys 🙏
I will be adding more fans for airflow.
Day 12 of the flip and the girls are on there way to becoming ladys lol I think there's going to be a few nice kolas in there when done, ordered the new box fan for the floor to create more airflow to reduce the risk of pm and mold.
I need to top up soil as roots are showing so under the net I go again. Wish me luck.

Oct. 04 - I've seen Magic Melon do well in a fairly small pot, a tiny pot may be pushing it but I'm willing to try, even if it takes some extreme measures I wouldn't otherwise perform on an auto like topping and heavy defoliation.
At 6:00am I put a seed (fresh from the refrigerator) into a moist paper towel, sealed in a baggie, sandwiched between two magnetic sheets, on a plate with a smaller plate overturned to cover then placed on top of a refrigerator.
Oct. 05, 7:00am - The shell has cracked and a small taproot has started growing. I placed the seed into the soil in the tiny pot, covered loosely and gave a little plain water.
Oct. 07, - The sprout broke through the surface.

Flower time is here. Transition Feeding as above 3/7/19 I will still irrigate during the week with PH 6.0 water with 1 mil CAL MAG and 1 mil SILLICA /gal I'll be using DJ Short's 11 on 13 off light shedule as I was using a 6/2 x 3 veg schedule I might a well keep it exotic. I have been reading that it will help bring out the flavor, smell and appearance of the buds at the cost of a small sacrifice in yield. Because this is my medicine I will have plenty off the 6 plants, and I'm looking for quality over quantity. As far as I can tell I have not seen any detrimental effects of the 6/2 light shedule it is the same amount of light as 18/6 I just broke it up in 3 parts. It did help keep the heat down. I found I did not have to water as often as well. Would the plants have been bigger had they had and 18/6 I don't have the data to confirm or deny that. All I know is that the plants are doing their thing and they look healthy to me so maybe for the home grower in a hot area this method might work for you. I wanted to try it and I'm just sharing my results with this amazing community of growers. As always I will be uploading more images and Time-lapse at the end of the week. Cheers to all yall😇

Bis auf das Problem das es in unserer Region Arsch Kalt ist und ich im Grow Temperatur Probleme habe läuft es gut. Die Ladys haben eine gesunde Farbe und sie sind in der Vorblüte. Leider musste ich eine Gorilla Glue entsorgen, die andere Erholt sich gerade. Bin mal gespannt was aus ihr wird.
Da ich noch sehr Unerfahren bin und ich bei meinen ersten Grow durch ein Zwitter alles zerstört habe bin ich mir nicht sicher ob auch jetzt einer dabei ist. Habe ein Bild hochgeladen. Vielleicht kann mir ja jemand sagen ob ich mir Sorgen machen muss.
Bis jetzt läuft es Überraschend gut. Beobachte Die Lady weiter und hoffe das es kein Zwitter ist. Glaube aber nicht. Den anderen Damen geht es super.

Growth 14 to 21
The nutritive solution has evolved during the week.
I started with a PH of 5.6 and an EC of 2 to have this evolution :
12/10 PH 5.6 EC 2
13/10 PH 5.9 EC 2.1
14/10 PH 6.2 EC 2.1
15/10 PH 6.3 EC 2.2
16/10 PH 6.5 EC 2.3
17/10 PH 6.5 EC 2.4
during this 3rd week of flowering, fim and topping have recovered well and we can see that the hydro system is well launched since the plants are growing well.
On the leaves with 1 and 3 leaflets you can see the deficiency or blockage that I had in week two of growth. Everything is going well now.
I can clearly see that the BBM 2 and 4 are the most in shape for the moment, both visually and in terms of roots.
I replace the nutrient solution.
So I make 60L at a rate of :
4ML/L Sensi grow A&B
2Ml/L Bud Ignitor
2ML/L B-52
This gives EC 2.2 PH 5.6, still without using ph down.
I start the Bud Ignitor a week early to get flowers faster. Some growers using AN have seen a difference rather than waiting until the beginning of bloom.
I am lowering the leds to a ppfd of 600 for this last week of growth.
From now on I will spray my "Pshit" of THESEEDSMAKER, twice a day to create my seeds.

Week 3 and a repot is done and now in day 3. Finally it’s settling down after the repot, which was not pretty at all😂
Hope to get some massive plants this run 🌱

Sorry for the late updates lately. Just very busy.
Everything is going smooth. Buds are ripening up on both these girls.
The smell is unbelievable so citrus and creamy sweetness.
I am very excited to harvest these girls.
Thank you to everyone that has liked/followed me so far.
Hoping to finish strong.
Happy Growing!
