Things still going pretty well. Roots look good and plant looks healthy. Temps beginning to drop outside so hoping to get some good growth in the next few weeks before it gets really cold.

9/22 topped them at 4th node. some of them are looking better for mainlining that others. some of them i may not mainline and others i left an extra node in case i want to keep clones around.
#1 is looking happy with the topping and looks really good.
#2 is the only one thats been praying and is the tallest and strongest looking all around.
#5 short and such tight internodal spacing that it makes it hard to see whats all there. just looks like a bunch of small leaves until they grow out. i may not mainline this one either be cause of it being so tightly packed it may make it
9/27/24
day 20 theyre growing quite well. #1 i ended up taking the bottom nodes. i was originally goi g to use them as clones later on but decided to just let her go with her 4 nodes. #5 is so tightly packed, she has like 8 mains all in such a small space, its hard to even make sense of it all.

This week the GMO cookies started to bounce back fast an hard from the leaf strip. At the start of the week all 3 girls got 1tsp of grow an bloom from roots organic dry amendments along with a feed of elemental at every watering at 1/4tsp per gallon of RO water. Add half 1/4tsp of dynomyco to the water also for some of that extra root support. Other then that slight adjustment on the tie downs an just letting the one on the right side just do her thing. Thanks for viewing an happy growing mates!

This strain came so good, next to "Breakup Cake" this is one of the most impressive Kannabia strains we've grown imo. Everyone is raving about the smell and flavor, this despite no cure. The buds are very dense and completely covered in crystal. This is definitely a standout strain, highly recommended and we will be growing it again 🐱👌
Thanks for dropping by and happy harvests!

WEEK 3 FLOWERING = 28/4/2023 (DAY 15 FLO) ---> 4/5/2023 (DAY 21 FLO)
[DAY 64 - 15° FLO] - 28/4/2023
⚡ - TS1000: 40 cm distance / 100% dimmer = 150 watt;
⌛ - 12/12 light cycle;
🌡️ - 27° C - 50% RH during light / 23° C - 58% RH during night;
📑 - PH 5.9 - EC 2.3 in DWC;
🍔 - For the third week of 12/12 I decided to decrease N a little and increase P and K: Micro 2ml/l, Grow 1.8 ml/l, Bloom 2 ml/l;
💧 - Solution in DWC is getting warmer: 22° C;
🥅 - I'm using the second SCROG net to even out the canopy. I bent the topmost branches and spread the branches further towards the sides of the box. The branches are still flexible enough to bend without issues;
🌱 - No marks on leaves, the plant has a nice green color. There are at least 30 flowering sites popping out of the second SCROG net. As already said, it's my first time with photoperiod and I don't know what to expect in terms of stretch, I'll try to manage it as best I can. ↕️ 43cm;
🔜 - Bought and mounted my new 3x3 tent. Next time I'll use that with my 2 TS1000!
[DAY 65 - 16° FLO] - 29/4/2023
🌡️ - 27° C - 55% RH during light / 23° C - 55% RH during night;
📑 - PH 5.8 - EC 2.3 in DWC;
💧 - Keeping an eye on the PH and EC values I noticed that in this 50 liter configuration the EC is very stable while the PH slowly drops day after day. I manage it don't using PH down when I top up. In this way I bring the PH levels to 6.1 and need to correct it after 3 or 4 days;
🌱 - Look at the day 65, done? Now go to last week and look at day 60. In 5 days the plant has filled the box again, amazing!
🌸 - Pre-flowers are forming, between tomorrow and the day after the flowering sites will be full of white pistils.
[DAY 66 - 17° FLO] - 30/4/2023
🌡️ - 26.5° C - 60% RH during light / 22.5° C - 57% RH during night;
📑 - PH 5.8 - EC 2.3 in DWC;
✂️ - Removed about 20 big fan leaves;
🌸 - Flowering sites are filling up with pistils.
[DAY 67 - 18° FLO] - 1/5/2023
🌡️ - 26° C - 64% RH during light / 21.5° C - 60% RH during night;
📑 - PH 6 - EC 2.3 in DWC;
🌸 - Pistils everywhere!
[DAY 68 - 19° FLO] - 2/5/2023
🌡️ - 26° C - 65% RH during light / 21° C - 65% RH during night;
📑 - PH 5.8 - EC 0.4 in DWC;
💧 - Flush for 24 hours, tomorrow she'll get full flower blend;
🌱 - Plant got 6 cm in the last 48 hours.
[DAY 69 - 20° FLO] - 3/5/2023
🌡️ - 26° C - 65% RH during light / 21° C - 65% RH during night;
📑 - PH 5.8 - EC 2.4 in DWC;
🍔 - After 20 days, DWC change: 40 LT flower blend. Silic (1ml/l) + CalMag (1ml/l) + Micro (2ml/l) + Grow (1ml/l) + Bloom (3ml/l) + Fulvic (1ml/l) + Atazyme (3ml/l). Added about 100ml Ph down Flower by Canna, to be honest I don't think it's very effective, I had to use a lot to lower the PH and I hope it's stable. Only plus side: is just phosphoric acid and is very useful in this phase!
💧 - Not a single dead root at the bottom of the DWC, I hope the old roots are at least rotting away. On the bright side, they're not causing any problems;
🌱 - Plant looks pretty fine, perhaps there is some slight light burn. I'll check tomorrow and, if necessary, raise the lamp by a few centimetres. The branches are still quite flexible but I have no more space to bend them 😅
[DAY 70 - 21° FLO] - 4/5/2023
🌡️ - 27° C - 60% RH during light / 22° C - 65% RH during night;
📑 - PH 6 - EC 2.4 in DWC;
🌱 - Week 3 flowering is done. Big change this week! I don't know if I'm talking bullsh*t, but since the switch I have noticed an important change in the leaves, they seem much thinner and longer, typical of Sativa dominant plants, and I like it!

Chopped on day 67, could have gone longer. But DAMN this blew past all my expectations, mostly because of the lighting challenges. I got 126 grams with 5 weeks of veg with a less than optimal positioned 400 hps, HELL YES. Not to mention it is probably the best THC strain I have ever had, certainly the best smelling, at least.

Very strongly cut off, I prepare to the beginning of flowering,
he released a call that for some reason had a pair of leaves, because of which it turned out to be a little more torn off than it cost, I will give her a couple of days and we will begin the translation into flowering,
also revealed a call which has 3 points of growth on each floor. Changed lighting: 37 watts white 55 watts blue, 38.5 watts red,
Today I fully watched the side lighting and the electrics,
controlled from a smartphone similar to the top lamp

I don't think they're ready yet. I'm no expert, but I feel like I can get more yield, if I let em go for longer. At this point any input will be greatly appreciated.

Room setup rundown, examples of bud, et al in pictures...
Seedlings/Clones lights - Viparspectra XS1500.
Vege lights - Mars Hydro FC-4800
Flower Lights - 650w 3400K 1900umol/s PAR, (3) 226w DIY 2900K 630umol/s PAR (678w and 1890umol/s),
Substrate - 50/50 sphagnum peat moss and vermiculite in 5-gallon pots
Climate Control - Luckily, the lights, winter and normal furnace use all equate to a decent temperature, though a bit on colder side in in vege phase, sadly. Humidifier is needed early and later a dehumidifier is needed when canopy develops. I only grow in the winter months.
Irrigation - do not use the emitters in this diary. They suck a big fat dick to skip a line to suck a bigger dick. Use the pressure compensating type. https://growdiaries.com/diaries/232811-strawberry-cookies-og-r1-cherry-diesel-bbgs-ego-epg-ebg-grow-journal-by-001100010010011110/week/1366923 -- use something similar to those. They come in different shapes, too.
Basic process
The little light takes care of seedlings in 2.5" wide seedling pots until first up-pot. The 1-gallon pots fit well under the FC4800 in a 4x4 tent until day 21 after sprout. I plant 150% or more of what i need, so i can kill the weak without concern. The goal is for every plant that makes it to the 5-gallon up-pot being capable of producing a minimum of 160 grams with a maximum of a 35-40 day vegetative phase.
Third up-pot is into 5-gallon nursery pots and now under the 3 DIY lights and the 650W light in the big tent for a couple more weeks of vege. An irrigation system in the big tent saves a lot of time. One scrog for training and another for support, just in case. Reverting back to a more systematic approach to canopy composition moving forward. About 2.3 colas per sq ft and 8 primary colas per plant.
Yields were similar when over-crowding and being less systematic, but the proportion of less dense nugs is greater and trim time is needlessly elevated because of that fact. I was very controlling about this the first couple years but got away from it for far too long at this point.
Drying / Curing - Into mesh racks for 9 days. I wet trim and cut down to similarly sized buds for even drying. Temps are controlled around 68F and RH is set to 60%. Then into some 5-gallon buckets with gamma seal lids and (3) 2-way 67g boveda humidipaks (58% or 62%) in each bucket - 1 at bottom, 2 at top. Temp/RH probe confirms that they hold the RH steady at 60-63%.
Cost - 0.33 cents (USD) per gram produced. This includes an accelerated depreciation expense for all equipment used, fertilizer, water, electricity for all equipment used, new filters and other yearly purchases - bti, ph strips, sticky traps, etc. I'm a finance guy, so these numbers are comprehensively accurate and purposely err slightly on high side of cost. The only facet not included is the cost of my labor.
