Results without automation; everything is done manually, from irrigation to the application of preventative measures

Raising the structure brick by brick and looks like I'll need to add more. Brewing our own banana / lactic acid flowering serum to use in the upcoming weeks.

Nice strain, smells like a dank citrus 🍊

Ich bin richtig begeistert wie die Buds anschwellen. Sie klebt auch schon unheimlich doll, obwohl man noch nicht so viel Frost sieht. Geruch ist ein typischer Gorilla Zkittlez geruch. Sehr süß mit einem Hauch von Babywindel.

Start of week 6. Looking frosty but got room for more swelling i think.

First week going smooth,just a little bit cold but still feeling good

🌱: LST on Day 15, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 removing shadowing/shadowed leaves constantly 💧 : 2l, SIP 6l 💡 : Dli 35 mol/m²/d 🤔:

Ok so this week I did a defoliation and a tigh down too the netting , I really was not planning on doing such a big defoliation but the leafs became thick and dense and there was almost no light penitration down too the lower branches of the plant , so she is opened right up now and the humidity and temperature has dropped loads and the air is moving alot better around the leaves and branches , I will not take anything more off her now , I have also added Cal mag too the nutrients for this week only , she is well into pre flower now but the stretch has not yet started so I figured it's no or never too defoliate and tigh them down , I am very happy with them so far and being new too all this it's all very exciting , Thanks for looking :)

Today is day 91, looking healthy, looking nice, looking like there will be decent weight of them, no issues at all, missed a week as I've been busy but going to up there bloom, topmax and heaven by an extra mil this coming week,.. all looks brill, roll on next week

Ginger Nut Cookies & Aussie Music Videos Week 16 Harvest 17 th April 2020 This Entire feminised seed making and growing project was a very good learning experience for me. Right from the very start, when I successfully got a Cutting ,taken from a Barneys Farm Red diesel female plant to produce feminised pollen after treating it with a silver thiosulfate solution. I then used it to pollinate a Fastbuds Girl scout cookies auto plant and let it grow to maturity. This only produced 3 viable seeds one of which is the subject of this Diary. I made up the name "Ginger nut cookies" after a variety of cookies we have here in Australia that are made with ginger. They are the same colour as the distinct red hairs on the red diesel buds. And would you believe those same vivid red hairs were passed on to this plant so I wasn't too far off the mark with the strain name. Her flavour however is nothing like red diesel or girl scout cookies and infact as taken on a smell and aroma all of it's own. She has a lovely tropical fruit like taste and the smell is a bit like fruit yoghurt. It has an unreal after taste on the exhale and the lingering second hand smoke smells very sweet and enticing. She has a pretty well balanced high too not as potent as the GSC nor as energenic as the red diesel but just a pleasant mix of the two. It was a very easy to grow and undemanding plant that didn't seem to require a lot of extra feeding other than the 100% organic nutrients that were within the soil and a few things like compost teas etc. The other element of this diary was of course the weekly Aussie music videos That I provided the links for and put up a little video clip preview of each Artists song. Week 1 Dance Monkey Week 2 Gotye Week 3 AC/DC Week 4 INXS Week 5 Dire straits Week 6 Yothu yindi and Midnight oil Week 7 Divinyls Week 8 Was Request week where I asked growers to pick and because only 3 growers put in a request I decided to choose all three which were Kylie Minogue , Flume & Airbourne Week 9 Paul Kelly Week 10 Daddy Cool Week 11 Cold chisel Week 12 Jimmy Barnes Week 13 The Angels Week 14 Crowded House Hoodoo gurus Mental as Anything Week 15 Empire of the sun Big Pig , Silverchair , Peking duk Grinspoon , Hilltop hoods and the White stripes And Finally for the last lot of music videos I have chosen another multi list bonanza of Aussie Music with the artist/s name and Youtube link below. So in no particular order here are my last choices for this Diary its been a fun grow with a steep learning curve.

This is a great platform full of great growers and great people : 1: The End.......

I have an average week the buds have not grown as big as I thought we always expect more I think, I came back to the plagron green sensation and plagron alga bloom to see if it is better. this may be due to my defoliation made recently. I hope it will work out because there are about 4 weeks of flowering left. good grow everyone

Day 122- first signs of the some pistols ambering! Super excited I know to be patient! About 3-4 weeks out I think! Putting my favorite photos and more on my Instagram! Follow me 📷 @cookie.thefarmer

Feed and defoliation Tuesday evening, was a little bit of work but a lot of fun too. Put some music on and giver! Was careful to try not to overdo it with the scissors, I even lay down on the floor and looked up from underneath to see how it looked that way. Buds are getting dense and sticky, the trichomes are starting to frost things up a bit. I can't wait to see where these endup. Next feeding I'll increase the amount of nutes a bit, according to schedule. Fed Friday night, 5 litres of Remo week 4. Did a bit more defoliation I missed, like a dozen leaves per plant. I dunno, that could be smart, could be stupid. We just don't know. Now I'll let em boogie on down to the finish line and give em lots of light and love and tunes and tickles. Gonna give em week 5 nutes on Monday 😎 Not sure how much runoff I should be getting. Last time it wasn't more than a few spoonfuls, @ pH 5.7 which seems fine with me as it's a hassle to deal with the excess. I'm sure someone somewhere will tell me I'm wrong???

Just chopped these 3 girls! Drying day 5: damn I’m so amazed of the thricome production on this one! Looking like sparkling diamonds covering the buds! Tastes good, earthy/woody flavor, will need to dry some more and cure then it will be a 10/10 smoke!! Day 8 drying: okay 2 of 3 plants are finished small bud sickest buds I ever seen and smells amazing

👉The plant was 11" tall. it probably would have been 12 or more if not FIM'd. It almost doubled in its overall size and total vegetation. The FIM has all the secondary branches poking out from under the large fan leaves. I do a little tucking to help them soak up the rays. I may not have FIM'd low enough or something because the leaves that were the outside of the growth node I snipped have gotten big. They just look like they have no tips. I think I ended up with the desired FIM goal of 4 new growth tips that will be cola's. 👉I will assist the branches get maximum access to light by rotating the pot frequently, I will also either support or direct them with bamboo steaks that I will attach to the metal spikes that are attached to the hoop ground the base of the pot. Its just the top of a tomato cage turned upside down with the top hoop around the base of the pot. It fits it snugly and doesn't slip. This allows me to attach the support steaks to the outside of the pot instead of inside in the media. I didn't like having the plant inside a cage or with sticks in the way when its small. It allows me easy access to the plant, and an easy way to add the support when the plant needs it as it get bigger. 👉I switched to week 4 nutrients this week and will probably be a week behind the timeline of the nutrient chart from GH because the plant had a slow start. The pH is always targeted to 5.9, the EC for a batch is 1.54. I have learned enough in the short time Im growing to understand what each nutrient week batch can do for the plant and am fairly confident I can judge the plants growing stage to match it. The 4th week is called transition and I believe thats accurate for my plant. it hasn't declared as of today, but I am anticipating that this coming week some time. 👉The runoff has been very consistent and I only added the low EC rinse of 1.5 liter one time. I always immediately follow a low ec feeding with a regular batch of nutrient. The last two days the run-off volume has started to lessen and the EC staying only 20EC above the inflow. Ive been averaging .75l for total run-off volume following a 1.5l fertigation. Tonight's run-off was .5l and 1.74EC. The lower run-off is due to the plant having more roots and being able to drink more of the moisture. when the run-off drops below 20% of the inflow volume I will increase the total volume in 1/4l increments.

Gaining weight! 2-3 weeks left until the end of the cycle, in 3-5 days. I plan to completely remove Nitrogen! The last week I fed N-P-K: 170-100-350 ppm
