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.......

The drying process lasted 14 days and I'm in the 2nd week of curing, I've already tried some buds and neither the smell nor the taste are great, the taste and smell of both phenotypes is lemon.

Moin, Mit etwas Verzug gibt es das nächste Update. Mittlerweile ist die Z seit letzte Woche Montag in der Blüte und somit ist die 1. Blütewoche auch bereits vorbei. Die Pflanze entwickelt sich sehr gut, alle Blätter haben einen wirklich schöne grüne Farbe und keinerlei Mängel zeichnen sich ab. Die Struktur der Pflanze ist bereits sehr offen mit relativ großen Internodienabständen und wenig Blattmasse. Daran zeichnet sich auch schon ab, dass es wirklich kein Ertragmonster sein wird. Durch das mehrfache Toppen des Stecklings habe ich eine sehr uniforme Struktur erzeugt die das Höhenwachstum bisher sehr gut kontrollieren. Während der Stretchphase wird die Z weiter leicht gescroggt. Gegossen wird mittels Tröpfchenbewässerung pro Tag 3 mal wobei 1x mit Drain und 2x als Maintanceshot ohne drain gegossen und eine möglichst gleiche Wasser und Nährstoffversorgung zu gewährleisten. Je nach weiteren Wachstum kann der Bewässerungszyklus weiter angepasst werden. Hi, Here comes the next update, a little later than expected. The Z has been flowering since last Monday, so the first week of flowering is already over. The plant is developing very well; all the leaves have a really nice green color and there are no signs of any defects. The plant’s structure is already very open, with relatively large internode spacing and little leaf mass. This already indicates that it won’t be a high-yield monster. By topping the cutting multiple times, I’ve created a very uniform structure that has kept height growth well under control so far. During the stretch phase, the Z will continue to be lightly scrugged. Watering is done via drip irrigation three times a day, with one watering including drainage and two as maintenance shots without drainage, to ensure as consistent a supply of water and nutrients as possible. Depending on further growth, the watering cycle can be adjusted further.

Bushy bushy weeding cake plant :) or cheesecake if you will, let's see if the temps confirms. Very dark green leaves, but this seems to be a expression from some WC phens.

Wow, another week done. It's become an absolute jungle in my greenhouse. A few of the GG4/Sherbets tops had to be mainlined since they're hitting the top of the greenhouse at 7ft8in tall. The smell is definitely getting stronger every day and it goes from super pungent, to sweet, to almost tropical. They're all still looking nice and healthy. The Athena Blended Line works wonders with my well water as the plants couldn't be happier. All in all Happy Growing.

I think flowering is initiated..worst case I will have 9th week of flowering

Freue mich auf den nächsten run

💧 Wir befinden uns in Woche 3 der Blüte, insgesamt ist die Strawberry Banana von Fastbuds. Die Pflanze hat ihren Stretch hinter sich und konzentriert sich jetzt voll auf die Blütenbildung an den Internodien. 📏 In dieser Woche habe ich 2 Bewässerungen durchgeführt, ergänzt durch Sondergaben von jeweils 21 ml S&R Organics 5in1. 📸 Die aktuelle Optik zeigt eine gesunde Pflanze mit tiefgrünen Blättern und einer stabilen Struktur. Die Blütenansätze entwickeln sich gleichmäßig, die ersten weißen Stigmen sind deutlich sichtbar und die Harzproduktion läuft an. Die Blattform ist sortentypisch und zeigt keine Anzeichen von Stress oder Mangelerscheinungen. 📋 Die Pflanze steht gut im Futter und die Blütenentwicklung nimmt jetzt Fahrt auf. Bisher sieht alles nach einem planmäßigen Verlauf aus.

Breeder Suggested Harvest Window opens tomorrow at day 65 and continues on for 15 days to Dec 15. +Will start the flush process on the 5th of December + 1ST video on Growdiaries. Planned on flushing on the 5th Watered 2.5 gallons. Life scheduled events and had to cut it short a few days and harvest day -NO MATTER WHAT - would have to be the 10th. putting us at Day 75 of flower Flushed with 17.5 gallons Considering water was filtering through soil, it drained ABSOLUTELY clear by the last emtpying of the container I was using to catch Buds are fattening up very nicely. Smells of Lemon/Citrus/Sour ----------------------------------------------------------------- nowayReggie

📆 Semana 6 Esta sexta semana la planta empieza a marcar claramente su personalidad. Aunque se mantiene pequeña en tamaño, ha conseguido concentrar prácticamente toda su estructura floral en un cogollo principal compacto, muy apretado y cargado de resina. El desarrollo sigue siendo equilibrado y la flor continúa ganando consistencia, destacando especialmente la cantidad de resina que está acumulando. Mantengo una nutrición moderada, dejando que la planta siga centrando su energía en terminar de formar y madurar esta flor. ⚡ EC: 0.95 💧 pH: 6.2 🌡️ Agua: 21°C 🌫️ Humedad: 45–55% 💡 Intensidad: Luz directa del sol 🔥 Nota de cultivo: Es una planta pequeña, pero está demostrando que el tamaño no lo es todo. Un único cogollo, compacto y completamente cubierto de resina, que cada semana tiene más pinta de poder dar una buena sorpresa. ¡Seguimos creciendo fuerte! 💪

Not sure if I did this LST training correctly, we’ll see. I’ve been following the fox farms 12 nutrient chart religiously along with their mackerel and Kelp me and they seem to be enjoying it. I’m noticing more yellowing than I’d prefer so I ordered some cal mag on Amazon which should be arriving soon.

Hi Leute heute ist Tag 15 . Bin bis jetzt ganz begeistert. Ich hoffe die Genetik hält was sie verspricht....

Como era de esperar, la weddingcake duplica su tamaño en la segunda semana de floración. La skywalker sigue el mismo camino. Ambas presentando ya las primeras preflores, indicando que se avecina una excelente floración

The ICE is almost done; the NL doesn’t even seem close. Interesting since ICE sprouted a day later than the NL.

Les bourgeons se forme.

Overview of my grow: Tent: Secret Jardin DS120 4 x 4 (120 cm by 120 cm) Lights: 2 x 120 Watt CTlite c4 clusterled Climat: Trotec Dehumidifyer 240 watt- 10L/24h Filter: Prima Klima carbon filter PK2600 fan: 2 x Secret Jardin 20watt osc. fan Pots: Gronest 4 x 11 liter airpots Water : automated water system PH: bluelab Nutrients: Plagron cocos A + B Plagron PK 13/14 ATA cal/mag Epsom salt Week 5 She grew 16 cm in height, she is the smallest in the grow so far, bus she has a nice indica structure with some nice sidestems. At the end of the week i give 1.4 EC nutrients. So far so good 😊

Things really looking good this week did a major defoliation to help with light penetration. Backed off of the Big Bloom because I noticed the tips of some of the leaves were burning. Buds are now starting to form nicely. Very little smell still. Since this is my first inside grow with autos I would love to hear some feedback from some more experienced growers.

Hey now, hope everyone is having a great weekend. This week went great for the 5 mainlines. I got the final toppings completed for all the ladies, I got them done on the Sundae Driver and Red Hot Cookies on day 38, and the Durban Nights, Green Crack, and the Bubble Runtz topped on day 40 for the final time. At this point there is not much more training left to do, just some minor LST to try and keep all 8 tops per plant level, and some minor defoliation along the way. I am planning to Veg them for 1-2 weeks and flip to flower probably sometime in week 8 depending on how fast they grow. I do have them all on milk crates which are 10" each so I will place them on the floor and adjust the light power probably about the time I flip to flower to accommodate the stretch. I am still feeding GH nutrients, silica, cal mag, and maxi grow. I will transition to flower nutrients approximately one week after flipping to flower. I have found that it is important to continue feeding plenty of Nitrogen through the stretch. The only way I would transition sooner is if I was running out of vertical space. Still very pleased with the Spectrum X from Medic Grow. I am running her at 69% and the plants seem very happy and healthy. The heat and humidity are finally letting up in my region so it is nice to be able to open some windows and drop the temp outside the grow tent. I hope everyone has a great weekend, Thanks for stopping by, Stay Safe and Blaze On!!! 💪 Website: https://medicgrow.com/ https://growdiaries.com/grower/medicgrowled

Hello everyone 🍀 The girls are in pre flowering stage! So far so good 🙏 Cheers 🍀 ❤️

This grow has been something truly special for me because it was my first one. Beyond the numbers or the final weight, it was a constant learning experience — mistakes, adjustments, moments of doubt, and a lot of satisfaction watching the plants develop day by day. Seeing them finish healthy, resinous, and looking the way they did is a feeling that’s hard to describe. I genuinely want to thank everyone who supported, advised, and followed the process. Every message, every comment, and every piece of constructive feedback meant a lot and helped more than you probably realize. This is just the beginning. In the next runs, we’re bringing things better executed, more refined, and more detailed in every aspect. More control, more experience, and higher quality. We grow step by step — and we’re only getting started.
