**Encontrarás la traducción a español al final de la descripción** From/Desde: 09/09/19 || To/Hasta: 15/09/19 From day/Desde día: 08 || To day/Hasta día: 14 Ocean Grown Cookies Diary / Diario de las Ocean Grown Cookies: https://growdiaries.com/diaries/38831-oceangrown-cookies-blues-sisters -----IMAGES & VIDEOS----- V1 - Transplanting day. I'm using 10 l Aeropots as final recipient. I've used: - Small layer of ATAMI HydroRokz (perlite) at the bottom of the pot, just for cover bottom holes and to retain a bit of humidity - Over the perlite i placed 1l of mixture with BioBizz "All Mix" and Volcanic Soil - Again over, 1l of mixture with BioBizz "Light Mix" + Volcanic Soil & Guano - And filled the rest with BioBizz "Light Mix" + Volcanic Soil It's the second time that i broke half of the roots of a plant doing a transplant, It happened to me just for not being careful enough to hold the soil by the lower part. While this is no good, no further signs of that mistake other than the recorded video ;). V2 - Quick show up on how to correct the color of photos taken under red/ping/purple light. First I merge the HDR image from 3 bracketed shots, then I apply my custom color adjustment in the HDR resulting image. As i show in the video, to correct the red light, you have to enhance the blue and green curves, just play with a point in the curves until you find the best adjustment for each of both curves. Then you should go to tones, and play a bit with reds, pinks & purples... and.... Voilá, you can see the results, easy and effective..... but no more easy than using the right white spectrum. P1 - Cookies Showdown before transplant P7 - Volcanic soil and Guano -----WEEK SUMMARY----- This week was very easy, i didn't do anything to these babies apart from the transplant. This is the first time im mixing something with the soil, I hope not to overfeed the Cookies with the nutes, as i'm going to use the same nutrients i was using. The first 10 days they were growing in my 60x60x40 tent (DP60), with a terrible chinese light that i always use the first week wen I plant. PandaGrow 100W (50W draw) - http://www.pdgrow.com/index.php?m=Show&a=index&cid=12&id=53 So after transplanting when i place the plans under the Quantum Board or the Platinum LED, i've notice it on them immediately, they really don't like this kind of chinese lights. Thus after the transplant the plants has started to grow and wide much more and much quickly. -----WATERING CALENDAR----- 12/09/19 DAY 11 - 1,5 l after transplant with all week nutrients @ 0.8 EC & PH5.8 *****ESPAÑOL***** -----IMÁGENES & VÍDEOS----- V1 - Día de transplante. Transplantaré a AeroPots de 10 l. Para el transplante he usado: - Una capa pequeña de ATAMI HydroRokz (perlita) en el fondo de los tiestos, sólo para cubrir los agujeros y retener un pelín de humedad. - Encima de la perlita he puesto 1 l de mezcla de BioBizz "All-Mix" con tierra volcánica - De nuevo encima he puesto otro litro de mezcla de BioBizz "Light-Mix" con guano y tierra volcánica - El resto está relleno con una mezcla de BioBizz "Light-Mix" con tierra volcánica Es la segunda vez que se me parter unas raíces por la mitad en un transplante, eso me pasa por no ser lo suficientemente cuidadoso como para agarrar el sustrato por su parte baja. Esto no es algo bueno, pero he de admitir que aparte del mal rato de que se te partan las raíces, a la planta no le sucede nada de nada, sigue creciendo al mismo ritmo que su hermana. V2 - Un ejemplo rápido de como corregir la iluminación de una foto tomada bajo un espectro rosado o rojizo En el vídeo primero compilo el HDR compuesto de 3 fotografías horquilladas y una vez compilado le aplico mi ajuste de color. Como muestro en el vídeo, para corregir este tipo de luces hay que realzar las curvas de color azul y verde, simplemente con un punto por encima de la mitad de la línea media hasta encontrar los puntos más adecuados para tu luz. una vez encontrados, sólo hay que ir a los tonos y ajustar un poquito el rojo, rosa y morado. P1 - Muestra de las Cookies antes del transplante P7 - Tierra volcánica y Guano -----SUMARIO SEMANAL----- Esta semana ha sido muy sencilla, no les he hecho absolutamente nada a las pequeñas a parte del transplante. Esta es la primera vez que mezclo algo con el sustrato y espero no sobrealimentar las cookies ya que voy a seguir usando los mismos nutrientes que he usado con anterioridad y de la misma manera. Los primeros 10 días han crecido en mi tienda de 60x60x40 (DP60), con una luz china terrible: PandaGrow 100W (50W draw) - http://www.pdgrow.com/index.php?m=Show&a=index&cid=12&id=53 Siempre uso esa luz los primeros días de cada cultivo, por lo que al cambiarlas a la Quantum o al Platinum LED lo noto al toque, realmente no les gusta nada la luz china esa, inmediatamente se ponen a crecer y ensanchar mucho mas. -----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO----- 12/09/19 DÍA 11 - 1,5 l después del transplante con todos los nutrientes semanales @ 0.8 EC & PH5.8

Alright, as you guys can see, she has been topped and she has been mainlined... i have a while to keep her in veg due to an auto flower, not being an auto flower, so now I have to wait for that that plants flowering to be done before I can transition this one into flower so I figured I would take my time and get some training on her .. God bless everybody have a great week 🙏

Day 77 I'm running out of vertical space for pinus contorta, this weekend i will open the box to move the leds higher and will try to do some decent photos. At this point i've added the Pinus purple matcha to the diary because she's huge and impossible to not notice, should be around 1,5m² almost 150cm tall. Had to do a very risky move and "soft crop" 2 apicals because of burn risk, too close to the leds. I wasn't expeting a freakin' tree like that! Day 79 Jeez plz stop growing in height!! After this shaky video i raised the leds 10 cm, now i'm for real out of space.. I'm adding 10 to 12 liters every day, alternating ro with only silica one day and the other with nutrients. Day 81 Way too much leaves in the lower part of the plants but i really don't want to stress them more than the temperature is already doing (29.3C measured in the upper canopy at 5 cm from the leds). Luckily i've got a lot of airflow, 3 filtered exhaust and 1 huge intake to remove almost the humidity. Despite it all they are pretty healty, no visible burning signs.

The grow started off pretty slow due to user error, but in the end through trials and trepidations we overcame and ended up with a pretty decent harvest. I personally can only get better and will continue to use what iv learned and documented in my upcoming grows. Dried in about 9 days at 47-55% RH and 63-67° F. Edit. Didnt weigh it wet so after getting a little over five ounces dry I'm just using a 3:1 ratio to figure in the wet weight. Granted that doesn't account for all the popcorn buds, fan leaves, and stems. All the left over unmatured buds and larf will be turned into edibles and salves. Happy growing!!!

Eight weeks of flowering I raised the PH to 6.3 and the plants that showed phosphorus deficiency no longer presented the problem, the absorption must have improved since the fertilization was the same. But as not everything is wonderful in this life in the last week here in the city where I live we had a great cold front 10º C. Inside the grow the temperature varied at least 13.5ºC during the night and light off and 20º during the day with the light on, the cold always stops growth but the formation of buds is going well apparently. Definitely plant # B3 is either photoperiod or locked, it has white pistils on the stem indicating pre-flowering but even before entering the flowering period I don't know what to do lol.

📆 Semana 7 La Mentha de Croco entra en la fase de engorde, con cogollos más compactos y resinosos que comienzan a mostrar su verdadero potencial. Los pistilos empiezan a anaranjarse poco a poco, mientras el aroma se vuelve más intenso, mezclando notas dulces, frescas y ligeramente mentoladas. La planta mantiene un equilibrio perfecto entre vigor y madurez, con hojas sanas y una estructura abierta que favorece la ventilación y evita problemas de humedad. Los riegos se ajustan para potenciar el desarrollo de las flores sin saturar el sustrato. 🌸 La floración avanza con firmeza hacia su punto culminante, mostrando fuerza, aroma y vitalidad. ¡Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

Week 1 (I think kinda confusing to a newbie) plant seems to be doing fine. Once the second set of leaves came in I moved outside for morning sun. By day 8 it spent the whole day outside. After day 9 it is officially an outside plant. I only put it in the green house at night and when it’s raining.

Week 2 Flower – Gelonade Run (Week 6 from Seed) The Gelonade girls are stepping gracefully into flower, evolving beautifully despite a very busy week on my end. Fewer photos this round, but I did capture a full-room video and some detailed shots of their stunning leaves, because even if time is short, the magic in the tent keeps on shining. Growth & Morphology Both phenos are showing their character. Gelonade #1 is vigorous and balanced, while Gelonade #2 is still carrying that special leaf mutation we talked about, leaves that open like a hand folding back into itself. I couldn’t resist photographing them again. They’re not just leaves, they’re little works of art. This week also saw the first defoliation of some of those big solar panels, just enough to keep airflow moving while still letting the girls power themselves. They took it in stride, no stress, only progression. Nutrient Program – Experiment in Motion The recipe shifted this week as we build momentum into flower. Start Booster is now replaced by Top Booster, and alongside Aptus staples (Regulator + CalMag Boost), I introduced a Plagron trio at 1 ml/L each: • Power Buds – to push flower initiation • Sugar Royal – to stimulate metabolism and resin potential • Green Sensation – a trusted all-in-one bloom enhancer The All-In-One Liquid remains on pause since the super soil and pellets are still carrying base NPK. Improvising? Yes. But with intention. I’ve had excellent results before with Plagron, and now I’m curious to see how their boosters synergize with Aptus. Environmental Conditions Temperatures are running a bit high (peaking at 34°C on hot days) and humidity has reached 60–70% at times. That pushes VPD to around 1.89 – not textbook perfect, but the Gelonades are adapting with grace. The TrolMaster WCS Substrate Sensor has been a game-changer here: it gives me live readouts of soil EC, moisture, and balance, all piped into the Tent-X brain. Watering is happening when moisture drops around 19–20%, promoting healthy wet/dry cycles and deeper root activity. Lighting & Room Setup The room is alive with tech. • Future of Grow Black Series 600 • ThinkGrow Model 1s • Lumatek Zeus 465w Compact Pro (newly added!) All tied into the TrolMaster ecosystem, letting me control light, extraction, sensors, and environment as one living system. Air exchange is handled by dual 6-inch extractors with carbon filters, plus a 6-inch intake, keeping fresh air circulating and smells contained. Looking Back, Looking Forward From a seed to now the Gelonades have been nothing but joy. Strong roots, vigorous structure, and personalities shining through. Flower initiation is just beginning, so no dramatic bud sites yet, but the stretch and structural shift are in full swing. Next week, I expect clear signs of pre-flowers stacking in. And because life in the garden always connects back to nature: this week I also captured a photo of a bee pollinating a flower outdoors. Bees are the true keepers of fertility on Earth, and just like them, we as growers are here to assist life in expressing itself fully. A little fairytale touch to remind us: without bees, there would be no Gelonade. ⸻ Plant Stats – Week 2 Flower / Week 6 from Seed • Height: ~50 cm • Temperature: 28–34°C • Humidity: 50–70% • VPD: ~1.89 kPa • EC: 0.6 • pH: 6.1 • Light: PPFD range 700–800 µmol/m²/s ⸻ ✨ The Gelonades are thriving. The leaves tell their own stories, the room hums with technology, and flower season is officially underway.

This plant has a solid stench of pure ripe lemons. So much aroma and color in every bud, purples, to dark green, to lime green, to solid frost. This one definitely a fun strain to watch grow and tend too for the last few months. She’s definitely a hungry girl, seemed to be the only strain out of the three that accepted and thrived with full feed nutrients. Would definitely recommend this Strain to someone For a nice uplifting day smoke, also seems to do me good for some pain and stress relief.
