July 18, 2024 I can't get my pictures to organize. So it's a hot mess. July 14, 2024 Day 85 This week is the last for nutrients. Next week I'll be switching to Flawless Finish and then plain water for about a week. Picture and watering day! I got some cola pics and the regular pics. Next week I'll start taking trichome pics. Sour Diesel A is looking great! Her buds are super like green and totally frosted. She smells absolutely delicious. She's also getting ready to fade. Just a few more days and we should see the beginning of some beautiful colors. Sour Diesel B has already started fading. I'm not sure that this is good or bad, but the leaves are canoeing and starting to point up a bit. However, they are all starting to show purples and some yellowing, but mostly purples. Right around the edges of the leaves. Sour Diesel C got a half gallon top feed today and got her reservoir topped off. No runoff, so that tells me she's still thirsty. Looking great as well. Her buds are tight and covered in trichomes. Not the biggest buds, but I'm sure they will make up for it in potency and density. Sour Diesel D is not getting ready to fade yet. She actually has the best leaf color of all the plants, but she's not advancing into the fade. I'm not too worried about it. She'll come around eventually. The humidity was below 60% this morning. Unfortunately that didn't last. Now the humidity is at 63% with the temp being right at 76°. Once the AC kicks on, everything will be fine. Not to mention, I just watered, so the humidity is expected to be a little high for a while. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.8° RH: 57.4% VPD: 1.23 kPa July 15, 2024 Not much going on today. Just the daily pic and some observation. Sour Diesel A looks great! She's just starting to show signs of fading. But barely. Soon enough. Sour Diesel B is starting to fade really well all over. The leaves are looking like I've seen on other plants, so that's got to be a good thing. Buds are super fat. Leaves are all starting to lighten up with a bit of yellow mixed with purple. I can't wait to see how she turns out in the next 2 weeks. Sour Diesel C is looking pretty good. Nice buds, if a little small. The top leaves are still droopy, but it doesn't look like anything I know how to fix. Sour Diesel D is still doing her thing. Her buds seem to be building still, so that's good. Another couple weeks and she should have some hefty colas. The environment as, always now, has high humidity and a decent temp. It will drop down in around an hour or two. Update: I think I may have to start flushing my plants very soon. Maybe the next watering. I have to check my trichomes first but I believe they should be ready for flush. It's week 7 of flower, so shouldn't I be flushing now? I'll update again when I check the trichomes. I think I may be right though. Final Update: After checking the trichomes of each plant. I think it's safe to say the flush will start with the next watering. I'll be flushing 6 gallons per plant apparently. Then I'll fill the reservoirs up with plain PHed water. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.4° RH: 57.6% VPD: 1.24 kPa July 16, 2024 Picture Day! Nothing else going on. Sour Diesel A is starting to get too heavy for the branches. They are leaning more and more. I had to prop up another branch. With more to follow. She also has very small signs of fade. Sour Diesel B has foxtails and I think they are natural. There's no stressors for foxtails to show up and the buds aren't losing any density. I'll keep an eye on it. It's very interesting. Sour Diesel C is getting heavier and drinking more. She has a very small amount of color coming to her leaves. She's even more frosty as well. What's nice is the lowers are almost as big as the uppers. Not that the uppers are big, but they are dense. There's also a whole ton of bud all over the plant. Sour Diesel D was neglected yesterday. I forgot to fill her reservoir. She was a bit light today, but I refilled the reservoir as soon as I noticed. She'll be fine. Also, no signs of fade yet. She does have really fat buds though. Each branch has a super dense and fat cola. But compared to the main cola, these side branch colas look tiny. I'm thinking maybe 2 oz out of this plant. It's raining today and the humidity in the tent is pretty high. 63%. Also the temp is around 78°. A little high, but I can drop it down pretty quickly. Grow System Environment: Temp: 76.0° RH: 60.5% VPD: 1.18 kPa July 17, 2024 Not a lot going on today. Just the daily and inspection. Sour Diesel A looks great. Her buds are getting fatter. I'd say another 2 weeks left for this one. She is just starting to show purple on the outside edges of a couple fan leaves. Sour Diesel B has more and more color coming in. I checked out her trichomes today. Not much to look at so I didn't post a pic. I'll be posting trichome pics next week. Her foxtails are becoming more pronounced, but super dense. These buds are going to look gnarly. Sour Diesel C is looking great! She still has a good 2 to 3 weeks left I think. With the flush happening at the next watering, hopefully that will kick her into full speed and she finishes up with the rest of the tent. Sour Diesel D is looking pretty awesome. She has some foxtails as well. Nothing like Sour Diesel B. But still getting there. It has to be natural. The temp is fine and the light is definitely not too bright or close. But her main cola is super dense. I'm almost certain she'll need a wet trim to avoid mold. The environment is the same as ever. High humidity until the AC kicks on. So around 62% with the temp around 76° Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.4° RH: 60.5% VPD: 1.16 kPa July 18, 2024 It's picture day! Not much else going on today. Some pics. Some inspection. Checking reservoirs. Sour Diesel A looks great! Her buds are heavy, her leaves are showing a bit more color and she is super sticky. She has quite a bit of water left in her reservoir. So I'll have to dump whatever's left tomorrow. That's when I start the flush. Sour Diesel B is looking fantastic! Her colas are huge for her size and super hard. She's showing even more color and I think bulking up a bit more. Her reservoir is about half full still. So it will also be emptied tomorrow. What a waste of nutrients. Oh well. I don't want to prolong the feeding regimen any more than what is needed. Sour Diesel C looks great as well. Her buds are hard and swelling up more. I expect to see even more swelling over the course of the next couple weeks. Sour Diesel D still isn't showing any signs of color. She is super healthy and I think with the flush, she will start to show colors in no time. Her reservoir is nearly empty. So I'll clean the reservoir tomorrow. Although. I don't think I'm going to use the reservoirs for the rest of the run. The flush should do the trick for a few days. Maybe 4. That being said, I anticipate flushing 4 or so times over the rest of her life cycle. The environment is still a mess in the morning. Although, it's not as bad today as it's been. It's under 60% which is about as much as I can ask for. The AC in the house will definitely drop it down low today. So I'm excited about that. Currently, my portable AC is running to keep the room from getting too warm, thus increasing the temp in the tent to an undesirably warmer state. Currently it's 74° in there. Pretty good. I'd love to see it there with 45% humidity. 40% if I can somehow squeeze it. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.2° RH: 58.2% VPD: 1.18 kPa July 19, 2024 This will be a 2 part entry today. It's my first time flushing, so with this first part, I'm going to explain what I'm thinking for flushing. I haven't read this anywhere and it makes the most sense to me. I read quite a few ways to flush. Use a hose until the runoff is clear, dump in 2 to 3 times the amount of water to gallon of soil. And a few others. However one thing I'm seeing here is cleanliness. Both methods seem really messy and should be done outside or in a sink. I don't have either of those options, so it's not something I can do. Then I read a way that makes way more sense. Water as usual but with a little extra, then wait 10 to 15 minutes and do it again. So to make it best for me I've come up with this idea. I'm using a 5 gallon bucket, a 12" plant riser and my sprayer. The goal is to keep it as clean and efficient as possible. Maybe this is just common sense and everyone already does it this way, but the plan is to take the riser and put it on top of the bucket and the plant on the riser. Because I'm running a 3 gallon fabric container, I'll need 6 gallons of water. I don't really understand how that is good for the plant, but it's my first time. And of course I'm reading all this from professionals, but still I feel like I'm missing something. Anyway, the goal is to water a gallon at a time, wait 10 minutes and another gallon. I think I'll start with 3 and see how things go. That should fill the bucket half way. Then in 3 days, I'll do the same thing. By the end of flushing number 2, the 6 gallons will have gone through and the soil should be clean. In theory that is. Then I can water as needed for the rest of the grow. Also, I'm not sure, but this method may only be good for fabric containers. And there is definitely a size limit. 5 gallon containers at most. Anything larger than that would be too wide and will make a huge mess. My only concern is time out of the tent. I only have 2 buckets, so I can only do 2 plants at a time. The time out of the tent away from the light will be nearly an hour. I think I'll have to pull the back 2 first and then the front 2. It's the fastest and most efficient way to do this. But still the plants will be out of the tent for quite a while. 2 concerns. Lack of light and the smell. For me it's an issue. For others it's not, but for those who have smell issues, I use a portable AC. It pulls the air out and blows it outside. So it helps with the smell in the room. The lights on the other hand are going to be an issue. I know it's not going to be hours, but still. I don't think it's a big deal with autos, but I'm not sure with photos. I'm probably overthinking this part, but I prefer to not risk anything. Update 1: Both Sour Diesel A and C are done with their flush for the day. 3 gallons each. PHed to 6.2 moving on to B and D in about 15 minutes. Update 2: now that I'm finished with the flush, I can explain what I did so far. This is round 1. In 3 days I'll do it again. I used my bucket contraption and first did 2 gallons of water. One gallon at a time between 2 plants each. After the 2 gallons were in each plant, I waited about 15 minutes for the dripping to stop for the most part. I then added the 3rd and final gallon for the day to each plant. I waited a good 20 minutes before putting them back in the tent. No mess in my room, no excess water in the tent. I also cleaned out the reservoirs and left them empty for now. I'll add water 3 days after the next flush. They can drink that plain water for the rest of the grow. The environment is a little off today, but not in a bad way. The humidity is just under 60% and the temp is around 75°. The temp is great. But the humidity is the problem as usual. The house AC hasn't kicked on yet, so I'm struggling with my portable AC. I have it set to dehumidify, but that's not happening. Never use a portable AC as a dehumidifier. Even if it has the option. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.3° RH: 59.2% VPD: 1.10 kPa July 20, 2024 It's picture day! And the end of the week. A quick recap. We started out with nutrients and flushed yesterday. Next week will be flushing again then plain water. We also got some fade happening with Sour Diesel B. Not much going on today. Just pics and the weekly video. Sour Diesel A is starting to fade and quickly. Yesterday she looked all lush green with a few spots of purple here and there. Today a lot of leaves are showing purple edges. It's starting to fade. It should get really exciting for the rest of the run. She also has some pretty hard leaning branches. I may have to find a way to prop them up, but it just means heavy buds. Sour Diesel B has more and more purple leaves. Her buds are huge and rock hard. She's sticky and smelly. I read that when flushing plants, the Aroma gets stronger. We will see if that's true or not. So far it's about the same, but it's only day 1 in the flushing period. Sour Diesel C is getting lime green leaves. From what I understand, this strain should end up with lime green buds. I've also seen plants with light green leaves. I believe this one will start fading any day. Sour Diesel D is getting heavy. Her branches are starting to pull down a bit. Other than that, her main cola is massive and rock hard. I'm super excited to see how much it weighs. The environment is alright today. It's not a million degrees out and the humidity is relatively low. Not in the tent though. It's still 60% humidity with a nice temp of 76° Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.8° RH: 57.4% VPD: 1.19 kPa

She’s finally finished I’m so happy to have her. She smells like red starburst and zkittlez. She taste like she smells. I’m very happy how she turned out. Beautifully. Super sweet and right up my alley. Fastbuds hits it out of the park once again!

I might check out some other indica dom strains these guys have to offer. I was pleasantly surprised with this strain. These plants grow fast and tall. Responds very good to topping and lst. Great to grow, great to smoke.

A week on everything is going ok. The mutant is still hanging in there doing its own thing with growth. The other two are coming along nicely, the smaller one is very uniform and has good structure to it. The bigger one is just a beast! Growth is rapid and the shape is nice. She drinks a lot more than the other two. Getting the second light was a good idea based on the umol m2 (572 with both switches on).

This week was an absolute scorcher with daytime temps in the low 30C, but we had no rain so I had to water more frequently. Seen a lovely burst of growth after last week's nutrients. Decided to bend and secure today to learn new technique. I'm fairly happy with the results. Think I might need to book up a scrog net worth all my girls after this training.

This plant was fun the whole way through. I had some issues up front and the plant got super stressed but in the long run she developed one huge bud so that's pretty exciting.

Welcome again 🙂          Finally, after about 40 days, I am ready to post the real harwest of these two spectacular Cookies Kush🍪🌱..                                                     It is a wise cross between the famous GIRL SCOUT COOKIES (known today as GSC) × a very powerful phenotype by OG Kush,named ROLLEX OG KUSH..        Cup winner🏆                  I have already posted the harwest of another CK grown with the same organic fertilizers, but in a smaller pot, about 7l geotexil..      I divided the diaries because initially I had planned to grow them differently one from the other..    In the end, however, the only difference lies in the pot, 20l geotextile for these two..   I already say that I have very little negative for this strain..    Its vigor and its resistance are impressive..      Added to the fact that it is a type of plant relatively simple to follow and in addition with a final yield in terms of both quantity and above all qualitative, I can only recommend it to everyone..    If you love Kush it is definitely a must try👌..   But let's get to the facts..    I reported weekly with precision everything that happened, therefore I invite those who want to learn more about going to review the various weeks🤗..   Unfortunately I have not posted the first because I was on vacation by the sea, discovering the best cannabis clubs on the Canary Islands😎🌊..   The first three weeks have grown inside a classic plastic pot for just over 1l..   Later I transplanted them into another plastic pot of about 4l.. Shortly after the second transplant, some very "nice" thrips decided to break the balls🧐..   I had never seen so many together and the situation in few days was going out of control..   I'm always reluctant in the using   of products to combat insects or pest , but this time I was forced to use neem oil mixed with about 1/5 of potassium soap..     Apart from some survivors the thrips disappeared, at a high price though.. The plants in only 36 hours after the treatment they had a phytotoxic reaction to neem oil.. The leaves seemed to be bitten by animals, not earthworms or the like🦌🐛🐌..      After a few hours, the situation was getting worse.. I found myself unprepared for what was happening..   But I thought the best solution was to remain calm and understand how to best cope with the situation🧘‍♂️..    I think I have prayed an indefinite number of times to try to resolve the situation⛪🕌🕍🕋🙏.. After a few days the symptoms of intoxication seemed to have subsided..   The two girls still continued their growth process🌿..      After a couple of weeks I took them to their accommodation final, a 20l geotextile pot..    As a base substrate I used a mix composed largely of light-mix of biobizz + coconut always from the biobizz and in addition a little humus to improve the characteristics of the soil..     In the soil it was already present in good quantity also perlite..                                                            Once I created the hole in the ground, I placed mycorrhizas (MICOSAT F) directly in contact with the roots.. Theoretically I carry out an action in about five weeks..  Shortly after the transplant I gave by leaf , using a pump sprayer, a little bit of fish emulsion (Fish-mix + Acti-vera of biobizz)..   And the girls appreciated a lot by continuing to grow and produce foliage vigorously..   Unlike their sister minor, given the large amount of vegetation, I felt the need to defoliate a bit.. I must say that this strain responds very well to this practice👍👍..  Seeing the vigor of growth I decided to also make a topping on both..   Also in this case the genetics of these plants has demonstrated its strength by continuing to grow as if nothing f bones..                                   I was doing a little lst but very roughly, almost for fun..   The final result, once in bloom, was fantastic😍..    Fragrant and tasty buds at the head of each branch..                    As you can see in the photos over the various weeks, the phenotypes emerged were two..                              One low and with light green colored leaves with a good production of resinous buds..                                                  The second one has practically tripled its height🌳                                                      The leaves in mid-bloom have started to be tinged with a truly spectacular red-violet color..  Full of buds entirely on the branches,like mostly  Sativa strain..                                                               An incredible resin production and very dense and super fragrant flowers.. Compared to the Cookies in the 7l pot, neither of them had an evidently mint scent.. But then I was happily surprised to find it in the flavor, especially in the purple-red phenotypes..  The structure of the buds is another of the things that have me and make me fall in love with this strain..   A true work of art🎨🌿🙌..                                            Thanks Barney's🙏..    The amount of trichomes and the aroma is truly exceptional🔝               The final weight of the flowers is divided as follows..                 40g for the purple-red phenotype 21g for the lower one                                                                           The total weight calculation was done after about 40 days of care, with the flowers cleaned in the best possible way, therefore without leaves or parts of the stem..   Also I did not take into consideration the popcorn buds, which I will probably use to make edibles.. As a growth light I used a 205w LED panel of the Black-dog brand, apart from two weeks in the vegetative phase where they were always illuminated by LEDs but of another type, much less powerful and efficient, but which however they did their job..   Speaking of nutrients..  This time I used the greenhouse biobloom powder (70g equally divided between the two of them and the younger sister in the "Cookies on the Kush" diary) for the flowering phase + biobizz biobloom about twice +bio heaven twice + biomagno biomass twice + unsulphured molasses + banana macerate made by me, a couple of times topmax from biobizz and finally at the beginning and halfway through flowering I always gave them an enchancer of green house..   Growing organic and having a water pH always between 6.5 and 7 , 5, I never bothered to check / regulate it.. And everything went well👌..   Towards the end of flowering, especially the larger of the two, it suffered a little overwatering, but nothing to worry about..                                                                              Despite being different phenotypes, I still gave them the exact same quantities of water and fertilizer..  About taste and effect..  The flowers of both had more or less the same aroma, sweet, slightly earthy with some notes of mint in the distance..    Personally my favorite is the one with the violet-red leaves and I think it is the best phenotype of all three, also considering the one in the other diary..  The amount of resin is more or less similar,also the tate too.. The first test was carried out using two vaporizers (mighty and ghost mv1)..  With both I was on temperatures between 180 ° and 195/200 °..  Later, as you can see in the video, I also carried out a test in smoke. Obviously only grass from top to bottom, about 0.7 / 0.8 in a joint..   Organic papers and filter, without glue😉👍..  After drying for 7 days with a whole plant, two days on a branch by branch net, two further days in brown paper bags , and a careful care of about three weeks the flowers, remained hermetically closed for another 20 days in the jar, were perfectly soft and crunchy, going to burn to perfection leaving on the palate a delicate flavor and a velvety smoke both incoming and outgoing.. I think strongly that this is the most important phase where the skill and attention to detail of the grower comes to light😊..   I personally think If the strain is from a competent and serious seed bank, the cultivation phase should simply be a help to grow on the part of the grower..   Once the plant has been cut, it all depends on us..  Patience and constant attention are the two key points🗝️👃👁️..  Going back to the flowers💐.. Going too far on the flavor and effect I think it leaves a little time because it is two very subjective factors..   Honestly, to say that it tastes like real cookies no I can't really🍪🤔..    But one thing is certainly☝️.. The taste is exceptional🤩😍..   Sweet and spicy with earthy notes and something else that I don't recognize..  Kush certainly as a base, but very complex..             Predominantly relaxing effect..   It acts on the body relieving tension, perhaps for someone it can be too relaxing💆‍♂️😴..                                              "I'm a kush guy", and I love what they give💚..    I would use it safely at any time of day, but it is very suitable for the second half of the afternoon onwards.. Perfect for dessert after dinner🍧..                                                                Most of my friends (all daily smokers around 30) have a lot of its effect..                      Personally I can use it even before medium intensity physical activity..                                                                    I will post a video in a couple of weeks that I want to use for the white ash contest🏆🤗..                                                                                 So..stay tuned😎..       That was the first solo official test.                                                                              As soon as I finished I went out to go shopping and do some workout and staff🤸‍♂️..                                            This will make part of the idea about the effect😁..    For most of my friends  it's  incomprehensible "survive" such a thing and be able to afterwards carry out actions😂..                                                       For this reason, saying too many things about the effect for me does not make much sense..                                                                     Subjectivity is a very relevant factor..                                                                          And anyway a strain that I iggly recommend to everyone😉👌👌..                                                                       Both to cultivate and to use..                                   Personally is in my 🔝 10 all time, for now😉..                                                                                                     Like Kush for sure in the pole position area🥇🥈🥉..                                                                       Ok guys.. Here we are finally at the conclusion..                                                                    I hope I have written everything and explained it in the best possible way, English is not my mother language  so maybe something can don't be too clear..                                              Sorry about that..                              In that case, roll one and enjoy pictures It's a good idea📷😁..                                                                      I had a lot of fun during these four months and I think now I will have even more fun tasting these delicacies..                                                                       See you in the next diary,already non somewhere🤫..                                          Thanks for to have had the patience to read🙏..                                                                      Do not forget to take a look at the sister then small that you find below👇..    https://growdiaries.com/diaries/39607-cookies-on-the-kush                                                                       Thanks to all of the support🙏🙏..                                                     Thanks GD for  creating this beautiful community👍🤝..                                                                          As always..    Make sure to have Fun..            And do some big nice ClouDs☁️                                                                                                                                                         See you ..                                                                  Ciao✌️ Info about the video Looking for inspiration to make a funny video for the white ash contest, I found this crazy wooden trident of raw and, not having tried it yet, I therefore decided to test it with him.. The joint are only weed, raw organic papers and filters, without glue 😉👌.. At both ends I used the low and light green pheno.. Centrally the red-purple pheno.. The three joints were ignited once and continued to burn evenly until the end.. Halfway through I decided to smoke one alone (the middle one) and the other two together.. Well the middle one (pheno violet) was the tastiest one😋.. In the photos you can also see how much oil is present around the base of the hottest point.. Kush effect, very relaxing, but not necessarily that you can't do anything anymore.. Very mental relaxation.. Top Kush🏆.. It was a little stupid high let's say, but I had fun and I was able to test this "toy" purchased last year in the Bay Area💚.. I hope you enjoy😆🙏 See you next time ✌️

The grow was one of the best I've done, the strain itself is awesome, taste, smell and effect are all 11/10. If theres one strain I would grow again it would be this, if you haven't tried it.. it's a must grow. A hidden GEM for sure. Do not miss out!

The best taste under the sun, great color of buds, unforgettable gorillas for me;) After quite a long fight with high temperatures and lack of support in the form of boosters, I am happy with the final result.

Used royal queen seed fems popped 4 and 3 where successfully. Through veg stage no problems quite sturdy plants growth rate was the same on all round, had abit of nitrogen deficiency. Flower stage everything changed plants started to grow at different weeks and need separate feeds which became annoying, think this was done to pheno types being different. Drying stage: I used this new herb dryer called wedryer for to plants and hung the other in the tent. Wedryer works if you have small yield as can’t fit a lot, drys within a week though but also looses flavour. Have to wet trim bud and then leaves bud flat in one side due to them sitting on the dryer netting. Has fan with carbon filter which stops smells. (But myself prefer hang drying). Used trimbag to finish the buds off love this product and recommend to others to buy.

These were quite an experience to grow. My second grow ever and they are great. I loved the way they flowered and how they responded to topping. They absolutely loved it. I would 10/10 grow again. Strong genetics and a very strong high.

16th Week Report 30/01/20 - 06/02/20 Had a look to trichomes and she was almost ready, consequently I didn't filled/changed reservoir from last week 06/02/20 Harvest Day! 2nd Harvest Wet Weight Is 440g! 💦💦 All the lower growth yielded more than the bigger colas from first harvest (350g Wet Weight) Nothing particular to say, trichomes are 5-10% 🔍 Amber, even the lower buds got some purple tones and while I was trimming them I sniffed the best weed flavour I ever felt in my life! The 2nd Harvest day was a week away from the 1st Harvest day! "Harvest Week" will be published when buds will be dry 😋 Last Update 06/02/20 See you guys ;)
