Okkkkkkkay, i fucked up a little over the past weeks but sometimes keeping everything together is hard. But I managed to fix her, fresh water change, new nutrients and new Training so she can spread a little wider and also gave her a little trim. So pH is 5.5-5.8 DLI is at 30. i wanted to turn it down a little because she was looking really sad. but she is finally recovering, new growth is a nice green color. Having her this long in veg is really weird haha

The Mandarine Cream is entering its third week of flowering, and the aroma is becoming increasingly potent. The plant is looking beautiful and vigorous, with the buds showing significant daily growth. The smell is evolving into a strong, citrusy scent, reminiscent of grapefruit. Environment: This week began with a cold front, bringing temperatures down to a minimum of 5°C and a maximum of 15°C. A light rain has helped increase the humidity, which could boost resin production, although the cooler temperatures may also slow down the flowering process, just as they did during the vegetative stage. Fertilizing: I've stopped fertilizing as the plant now has everything it needs from the substrate. Watering: Sparse, around once a week, to maintain the right moisture levels without over-saturating. Pest Control: Beauveria applications have been reduced to once weekly, and the garden remains completely free of pests, which is a pleasant surprise. Training: The main cola top remains tied down. I haven't done any further defoliation or additional training. The focus is now on letting the plant continue its natural growth as it transitions deeper into flowering.

Hello. This is the end of week 3 and the beginning of week 4 of flowering. Plants are finished stretching now and on their way towards fattening up. The resin has started to flow now and I can see some on the edges of the upper fanleaves. Good sign. I showed in the video that I blast oxygen into the reservoir water before the pump turn on. They get 3 minutes a day of solution The 15 gallon reservoir will last 6 days if I do it that way. And I change the reservoir solution and clean on the seventh. I water with rain water when they get dry. The rainwater here is around 6.5 ph. And It's soft water too. It's been a cool spring here, but next week the high temps are coming. I'm going to have to put up some shade cloth on the green house then to try to keep the temps down in there.. OK. Be Great. Chuck.

*WEEK 1 DAY 6 OF FLOWER* Flipped the light to 12/12 6days ago and started scrogging I also gave her quite a huge defol 5days after the switch for better light penetration and airflow, for the first week everday ill be checking on the canopy any tops that are growing too tall compared to others will be trained underneath the scrog net, resulting in even light penetration throughout the whole canopy giving lower buds better light and of course the main reason - keeping the plants small :) started to implement the boost additives to boost K intake and i have also added a exhale co2 bag above the canopy to hopefully boost the co2 levels and promote faster, better growth! the deficiency i mentioned in the last week of veg, is not looking to get worse or worsening hmmmm strange effected leaves have been removed and overall she looks great! i dont wanna get to ahead of myself yet! as we still have a long way to go, but for my first run as from up to know i am pretty happy with myself and the growth of plant, i see so many growers with basic and even really bad deficiencys/diseases from early growth! even throughout there whole growth cycle... yes i have noticed a few weird things throughout the cycle but nothing extreme no NPK deficiencys so i am really pleased with this run! roll on the next ;) Wish me further look guys, Lets Grow!

after not being happy on how it was on week 13, i decided to push it this far. I'm more satisfied than i was, but I remain disappointed in apera instruments for screwing me over on IP67 warranty promise. They said after this replacement they wont do it again. total bs.

12/1: She's scheduled for execution on Tuesday (maybe Wednesday) Hooray!😋 The bottom part of the closet seems empty with only 9 plants in there.. 😟 I cut the harvested plants up and put them into drying baskets in the top of my closet with a small oscillating fan on. I've got the temperature fluctuating between 68f and 75f and the RH is staying between 48% and 52%. To do that, I had to take down the small light in the top of the closet to fit the drying baskets up there. So, I moved the 3 shorter plants still up there, including the Stardawg, down to the bottom and put them on top of buckets. Now the bottom of the closet looks full again!😃 I'm anxious to finish up this grow so I can get busy growing the Fastbuds Fast Flowering Photo Testers!!! When I harvest the next 5, I'll flush the remaining plants really well and that will be all the flushing they'll get..I'll let them dry back out for a few days and harvest them. I've got to make some minor improvements to the garden (adding UV, blue and red/far red booster panels and intake fans) That should put me on track to start germinating them by mid-December if all goes well.

Day 42 Shes massive... if she stretches much in flower... then I'm in for some problems 😂😂 By next week she will probably be done vertically growing. You would never say she had issues to start off with.

Hello everyone 🙂 Here we are finally with the Harwest report of this fantastic variety🍪                                  COOKIES KUSH from Barney's Farm..                                                   GIRL SCOUT COOKIES ×ROLLEX OG KUSH..                                                  I love this hybrid , from seed to flower, so I will try to be as partial and honest as possible, although I have very little negative to say, maybe nothing..                               But let's we started..                                 Initially I germinated three seeds, all three born after two days at a constant temperature around 24 °, placed inside two pieces of wet paper, in turn closed between two coffee saucers..                                              I was unable to post the first two weeks because I was on vacation by the sea, finding the best canarian cannabis social club, while they were growing up😎: 1:                            Towards the end of the third week the show started🎬..                                             A massive attack of thrips led me to have to use neem oil to try to counter these little ones. bastards🙄.                                              The oil was sprayed on the leaves using a pump sprayer..                                First though mixed it with about 1/5 of potassium soap, as I have always found written to do..                        As you can see in the first photos📷 the plant (and also her two sister in diari "COOKIES×KUSH") has undergone enormous stress making the leaves as if they had been bitten by some animal..                             But the fault was all of neem oil or the wrong mix🤷‍♂️                 Trying to inform me here and there, I did not find much specific information, but I really believe that the plant has undergone a phytotoxic effect as a reaction following the use of the neem oil..                                                     The despair was great, but I tried to remain calm and understand what had happened in the hope that the effect would not extend going to compromise the health of the plant💆‍♂️🧘‍♂️..                                     After a couple of weeks in the Flowering cycle, this great Cookies pheno recovered great and as if nothing had tripled in size, maintaining a beautiful main top with vigor branches full of dense buds all around..                                               In the first week of flowering I cut the first two branches, focusing the energies on the upper ones.. After a few days I made a super Cropping on the central top, always trying to increase the vigor of the branches below💪🌲..          And the plant has always reacted very well, as if nothing had happened..                                          I also thought of defoliating, but then I left the idea to not stress it further..                                               In carrying out the final transplant I placed mycorrize in the ground, directly in contact with the roots..                                            In the first week of flowering I gave again once a bit of fish mix to facilitate the stretch phase..                                            Later during the flowering I used the slow release organic powder of the Greenhouse, plus twice the Biobloom fertilizer from Biobizz..I increased everything with biomass biomass , once / twice, more enchancers once through irrigation (always greenhouse), more than molasses..                                           I also gave some banana macerate made by me, but honestly I don't know if it influenced or not exactly, but I don't think bad did it..            Flowering was very quiet and without too many complications, if not some insect that I tried to fight using yellow and blue traps..                  After 55 days from the transition to 12/12 I could have safely cut, but I decided to wait a ten more days, up to 65 °..                               Towards the end of flowering, this beautiful girl had fantastic colors..                                              The yellow of most of the leaves, due to the discharge of nutrients, contrasted very well with the purple color that had taken on the other leaves and in small part also the flowers..                             Unfortunately in the photo does not give a good idea of ​​how beautiful it was..                               The plant, as I usually do, was cut entirely and placed upside down in a wooden wardrobe controlled temperature and humidity, without becoming too crazy, always trying to maintain a balance..                                        More or less I always dried around 21/24 ° with a ur around 55/60%..                                        After about 7 days, when the outer leaves were dry enough to the touch, but not to crumble, I cut the branches to one by one keeping the flowers attached..                                            I then performed a manicure in a best  art-way possible..                                         Nice, slow hands trimming..buds to buds..                                                                               Afterwards I put the branches with the flowers on a net for about a day and a half..                                 When I heard that the Popcorn Buds came off without leaving "the thread", I cut all the flowers from the branches and I have them stored inside a brown paper bag..                                                       I left them inside for about two days until the flowers were almost completely dry as I wanted, always being careful not to let them dry out too much.. This phase is very delicate so you need to check the condition of the flowers several times a day.. Once ready I put them inside an airtight jar..                                    For 24 hours I didn't open, letting the humidity present in the flowers come out making them still slightly wet..                           After a day, I found that the flowers had moistened to the touch, but not in an excessive way, just as I wanted..                                           From this moment on, I ap straight up the pot about three / four times a day at a distance of about 6h (always without getting too mad)..                                            For the first week I did so, then going to decrease the openings in the following two weeks..                                  After three weeks the perfume is came to be created in a clear, sweet and pungent way..                                                                               The first few weeks of opening the jar, for those who may not know it, it is normal to feel a fragrance of almost wet hay, which leads you to believe that you have made mistakes going to eliminate those incredible aromatic notes present during flowering..but not it is so..                                                               The cure process, if well carried out, leads to reducing from time to time that unpleasant smell of hay until it transforms into that complex bouquet of terpenes that are cannabis can give..                                                                    It is fantastic to observe the transformation in the terpene profile during this phase♥️🤩..                                    I think it is a highlight, where patience and attention play a fundamental role in being able to obtain a high quality product, from connoisseur..  Just my opinion🤗                             Cannabis, if well tanned, maintains and intensifies its aroma and potency in the coming months📆..                                            The flowers burn slowly and steadily inside lla map releasing intense aromas💐..                            The smoke inhaling it remains soft and velvety without creating throat disorders..                                 I believe this phase is fundamental to be able to enjoy a unique product with organoleptic characteristics which it is difficult not to fall in love with👌..                                            In the case of this variety, specifically of this pheno, the aroma is undoubtedly mint, mint mint with some sweet earthy notes..                                              Very complex..                                 The taste in smoke is more tending to earth, but very sweet and delicate with other notes that I can't to recognize, complex to describe, but mint is not very present as in the perfume (after 40 days of care)..                    Basically you are faced with a kush 2.0 , very very good and powerful..                                           A must have for kush lover's👌🏆..         As you can see in the video, the grass burns very well going to fill the map with oil..                             The joint in question is obviously a pure without tobacco, rolled with organic papers and organic filter. If well cared for it gives off scents that potentially can hear hundreds of meters, so be careful you have neighbors (Ps, mine are the ones that nobody would like)..    I do a smoke test only to evaluate if the treatment process has been successful, otherwise in my days I usually use vaporizers ( mighty / ghostmv1 / dynavap m / vulcano sometimes )..                                  Thanks very much to those who created them🙏🙏🙏🔝🔝..                                         Anyway                                                In the test carried out with mighty (from 177 ° to 195 °) the aroma is pungent, much more than in smoke..                                      Excellent Kush flavor, sweet enough but with earthy and spicy notes..                                       Complex to describe and I would not add anything else to try to be as honest as possible..                             Regarding the effect, I won't go too far..                                              In general it is a herb that acts on the body, leaving the mind calm and able to do anything (at least for me)..                                             As a good Kush that respects itself..                                                   It is not not at all mentally invasive..                                   Wanting to be honest though, most of my friends (all daily smokers, around 30) are overwhelmed by this variety because it relaxes them too much..                                                 I personally find myself to be god and I could use it in every moment of the day, also before intense physical activity.. something that does not always happen with sativa..                       Just for this subject🤯.                                               In this way I cut the plant when the trichomes were roughly 10% amber and the remaining milk color..                                                   It was a great experience to see this girl grow up..                                                      Her strength and endurance were impressive and maybe I was lucky to have the problem of neem oil with her, because she endured great, allowing me to learn without compromising too much the final result..another plant would probably die..                                                      I thank everyone who read the diary over the various weeks..                                               And thanks Grow Diaries for creating this community and connecting with it🙏🙏👌👌..                                                        For more and more precise info I refer you to watch every single week where I tried to post everything as precisely as possible..                                             I hope you had Fun..          Remember to make some ClouDs☁️        And to the next story diary 😉🌱..                     Thanks for the support🙏💚 Bye ✌️ Ps. The final weight of the flowers is calculated with only the main buds, dried, cleaned from each leaflet and finally cured for more than a month. The 205w light must be divided by three (she is the one who has used the least amount seen the position in the grow) Hope you enjoy Happy growing As always, hope English will good

The Terps are developing to be insane on this one! I'm getting notes of Black Cherry, Fruit Punch, some Superboof citrussyness and sum funky fuel. Very sweet almost bubblegummy! One of the craziest Terps profiles I've ever grown! Nugs aren't crazy dense, they're airy and light. Spear shaped nugs but absolutely packing on frost for it only being week 5, I am more then blown away with this grow I am without a doubt packing my next grow with these Homegrown Genetics ! Look forward to growing more of this fantastic breeder and very happy I was taken in to become a tester for these wonderful genetics. Proof is in the pudding these are sum bangers. Terps are off the charts compared to my Grape Sour Diesel which is a bit behind in terms of maturing

FINAL WEEK OF VEG FINAL WEEK OF VEG! Ayyyye let’s gooooooo ! Got a second lollipop done on this girl about 2 or 3 days ago . I did a little damage to a branch that has taken longer than one day to recover . At the time of this update I have yet to check on it again after taping it up to see if it is still limp . I may lose that branch RIP. I decided to take the tape off my other branch I broke while stretching her down under the net a while back figuring it’s been enough weeks for that to scar over . She healed beautifully ! The last of the Mohicans are here ! My new untested ORGANIC base bloom nutrients have arrived via mail today . I have been holding off on positing this update until now 1. to get a good difference in growth 2. To avoid needing to repeat having to defoliate an ADDITIONAL time before flipping to flower . I’m going to do a defoliation light-moderate I don’t think a heavy one is needed but I am a little trigger happy when it comes to defoliation 😂. I plan to do one FINAL MAJOR DEFOLIATION AROUND WEEK 3 FLOWER to try and get an awesome HIGH bud to leaf ratio idk how I keep picking these strains with high leaf to bud ratios I’d like less maintenance as we all would right? Still haven’t figured out what I’ll do with these clones as I don’t want to flower them they’d be trash bud underneath this mother clucker. Don’t forget the new Timelapse I started 2 weeks ago to capture our 5x5 Cereal Milk by RQS Flower up! Lastly I decided against making more clones when I did this second lollipopping sinc so already don’t know what I’m gonna do with the few successful clowns I managed to make from the last experiment. I’m really hoping this resilient girl turns out to be a 🔥DANK PHENO THAT HAS SOME TASTY POTENT BUD bc having a few clones lying around already would be golden. I’ll leave it there. Give us a like if you're still here , just tuning in and enjoying watching her grow with me

She had some struggle but finally recovered from the bad start and show the first new leafs! Hoping a good nutrients will boost her up! After 24hrs she started an explosive grow, hope to not feed her too much! Tuesday 27 is transplant day! I’m using some light mix with rqs soil booster, so I can only water her without mix any nutrients.

Starting to take off this week :) have really been liking how easy the new advanced nutrients line is. added the runt back to the tent since it started to recover nice. Will be testing force pollenating on it with some colloidal silver a friend made for me since its been stunted anyway. Other two are really bush out so need the space :p

Raspberry Ripple #1 and #2 (Flowering Plants)- This week really threw me a curveball! I had a major equipment failure. On Wednesday (day 24 of flower) I went to check on the flower room about 3 hours after my lights should have turned on and noticed my S44 Ionboard was not powered on. I quickly began to asses the situation and determined that my actual driver on the light fixture was broken and there was no power running to the light. The light was also my main power source for my controller 69 pro, so it went off as well and was unable to let me know the light was powered off via the app. When I noticed this I called a grow-bro of mine, and asked if I could borrow his Viparspectra Par 700 he had, he purchased the AC Infinity Evo 10 Ionframes and had that light sitting around! Shout out to @Mr. Wowie for the quick save. With his help, I was able to get a light back over my plants within 4 hours. Not ideal but better than it could have been! The next day I was able to purchase and install a used HLG 550 locally. This light is even meaner than my old ionboard! Boasting 480 watts of power from the MeanWell drivers, Samsung LM301H diodes, it was repaired and has an import heat sink, however it doesn't seem to get too hot. It's very similar to my old light and the plants seem to be doing fine, with no signs of herming or extreme stress. This week I noticed both Phenos flowers are really beginning to swell up. By the end of flower I'm sure these nugs will be almost soda can sized. The number 1 Pheno is still purple as can be and has clearly not ceased it's anthocyanin production. The number 2 Pheno caught my eye, or more my nose this week it's giving off an awesome terp profile. It has a bit fruitier of a smell than the #1, sort of like a good peach strain, super lemon haze or good strawberry Pheno. Where it's really in your face. The #1 Pheno is total candy, sweet. Huge diversity in these 2 phenos! Very cool to see. I installed a new Dehumidifier this week to keep up with the humid spring. I purchased an Air Plus 50 pint on sale on Amazon. This dehumidifier works very well and has been doing a wonderful job at managing humidity levels in the flower room. I gave the last feeding of build a flower and tm-7 this week and will be watering with only water and Fish Sh!t from this point unless the plants tell me otherwise. Raspberry Ripple #1 and #2 (Clones)- The clones did not have as interesting of a week, however they have began shooting more branches out and are developing the stereotypical thick Raspberry Ripple stalk, we've come to know and love these last 5 months. They seem to be on a good growth pace to run a perpetual cycle with. I feel they'll be pretty well ready for flower by the time I harvest the original plants. I still plan to keep a mother of each Pheno. Then begin my next Pheno hunt of Whiteberry by Paradise seeds. That pretty much wraps this week's entry up! Until next week, Happy Growing!- Starfish
