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.

Lots of growth this week. They have all been in 2-gallon Pots and I have transferred them all to 5-gallon pots yesterday. All are doing very well. All have started Cal-Mag and Mystic Dream Blood Root.

The ladies are still doing great and stacking very nicely! The leaves do look very very dark green with slight tip burns, so I doses down the nutrients slightly from 1100+ to 950 ppm! The grow light makes the leaves look more light green than they actually are (check the night shots) both pheno’s smell like a nice and strong gelato (vanilla/gas) 💪🏻

Dutch Passions Shaman Beiden Schamaninnen geht es gut. Das Gießen klappt jetzt besser. No. 1 im großen Topf bekommt alle drei bis vier Tage 10-12 Liter Regenwasser langsam über eine Stunde verteilt. Schamanin No. 2 im 17 Litertopf trinkt meistens an zwei Tagen knapp sechs Liter. Es ist feucht im Garten, der Taupunkt wurde regelmäßig unterschritten. So bleibt es wohl bis Ende nächster Woche. Danke für‘s vorbeischauen. 🍅🥒🍇🥦

Come on humidifier finally showed up and the plants are doing good.

CHERRY 🍒 COLA by FASTBUDS WEEK #2 OVERALL June 8th-15th WEEK #1 Veg This week she was transplanted to 5 gallon cloth pot and moved outside for remainder of her grow. She's looking good. Stay Growing!! FASTBUDS CHERRY 🍒 COLA

Se van viendo muy hermosas nuestras Niñas, no he notado ningún problema . En una semana o menos empezaré a hacerles técnicas de bajo estrés junto con una poda apical y fim.

Vamos familia, actualizamos la 4 semana de floración de estas Gelato Olandese de Dutchfem Seeds . Y es que hasta aquí todo va correcto , están enormes, tienen un buen color, se ven sanas, y van progresando las flores adecuadamente. La alimentación de Agrobeta la están aceptando muy bien , ya se las puede apreciar. Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Mars hydro: Code discount: EL420 https://www.mars-hydro.com/ Las maximas de temperatura no superan los 26 grados y las mínimas no bajan 20, así que no me puedo quejar. Los niveles de humedad también son los correctos van entre 50%/65% de humedad relativa. Por supuesto el Ph lo estamos dejando alrededor de 6. Hasta aquí es todo, buenos humos 💨💨💨.

Todas han germinado bien y rápido. Una de ellas no se pudo desprender de la semilla como se ve en el timelapse y la quitñe manualmente.

Starting to see a lot of white hairs think they are getting ready for flower, extremely excited to see how these ladies do! Thanks for checking in & happy growing friends!✌️🏼🌱 Day 23 - Everything seems to be going ok can’t see any issues other than the one plant with spots on the leaves but that is from spilling nutrient water on them! Day 24 - started LST on 1 Orange Sherbet & 1 White Widow to compare the differences at harvest! Day 25 - they are looking great! Can’t wait to see how the buds look😍✌️🏼 Day 26 - stretching out a lot! Day 27 - Last day of week 4 everything is going great!✌️🏼🌱

🌱 Day 4 of Flowering 🌸 We're officially on Day 4 of the flowering stage, and things are starting to get exciting! 🌿 The plants are beginning to show their true potential as the buds start to develop and stretch out. The pistils are starting to form, and I can already see the early signs of the flowers taking shape. At this stage, it’s all about ensuring they’re getting the right amount of light, nutrients, and airflow. We’re keeping a close eye on the environment to make sure everything stays optimal for healthy growth. 💡🌬️ Can’t wait to see how these beauties progress over the next few weeks! Stay tuned for more updates! 👀 #GrowDiary #Day4Flowering #CannabisCultivation #FloweringStage #BudDevelopment #PlantProgress #GardeningJourney 🌱

The experiment is going good in my opinion she’s stretching out a bit and got about four or five nodes on each of her main branches I moved her in her own tent cause she is going to be to wide in there with my other chicks I got her under a viper spectra 100 watt light in the other tent she wasn’t getting the light she needed cause she was pushed off to the side but she’s good now got her own and should really take off now I’m excited to see how it goes until next time happy growing peace I trimmed a lil bit and took some pipe cleaners and tied the four branches down she trying to grow outwards just need a lil direction and her other nodes tied down so far so good if you shop fast buds use my discount code #kygrow get a 15% discount on the whole store and it’ll help me out too peace

I really enjoyed this strain and I’m very glad I was able to see it through until the end. I wanted to harvest 9 days ago or so, but got advice from a lot of fellow growers who told me to remain patient and ignore all wishful thinking. The average time from seed to harvest for this plant is 70-80 days, I managed to harvest on day 87. The smell is loud and she looks beautiful. Fingers crossed I’ll be able to get these genetics again in the future. Completely satisfied with using this strain as an introduction into growing.

Week 5 flower going well. Nothing much to report. Increased the drip as she is taking in more water. Turned up the fans to 100% for maximum flow, and due to that, the tent got a bit warmer and a bit dryer, so the exhaust fan and humidifier are working a bit harder. 75-77 deg F, 50-60% RH. Not sure if the lights are to intense or if it’s purple coming through, but at the highest tops there seems to be a bit of discolouration on the newest growth, just at the tips of the new buds. But I’m looking really close and it may be purple, not brown. I’ll keep an eye on it and turn the lights down if symptoms worsen. This plant is growing strong and uniform. Average frost so far. Hopefully she keeps growing well until the end. Thanks for the views…keep calm and grow on!

- June 19th - 10 days after planting the seedling - the plant is developing very well - the first shoot is emerging - Day 13 - today the lady was watered with 0.8 ml of BioBizz Bio-Grow mixed in a total of 400 ml of water
