Stretch Season Approaching? 🌇 | RHC Enters Preflower Elegantly A fresh update from the balcony garden! My Red Hot Cookies photoperiod has officially entered preflower—a beautiful turning point in the season and a clear sign she’s gearing up for the stretch ahead. 🌀🌿 After some intense vegetative growth, she’s responded well to topping and training, with her canopy now standing tall and open, ready for the sun to do its magic. Her stature is becoming more impressive by the day, and the signs of preflower are clearly visible in the latest close-ups and video. 📸✨ Even nature’s allies came to inspect this week—a little ladybug made an appearance during filming and decided to hang out for a bit. 🍀🐞 Always a good omen in the garden! This Week’s Care Routine: 🔸 BioBizz Grow – 4 ml/l for steady veg support 🔸 CalMag – 0.5 ml/l to keep her strong and balanced 🔸 Dechlorinated Tap Water – always rested for 24h before use 🔸 Homebrewed Compost Tea – full of life and microbe support 🔸 Effective Microorganisms – boosting soil vitality 🔸 pH: 6.4 🔸 EC: 1800 µS She’s in a strong spot—tall, healthy, vibrant, and showing no signs of slowing down. I’m genuinely excited to see how she stretches from here and how the first buds begin to develop under the late summer sun. The season is still full of promise, and I’ll keep sharing the journey. 🌞🌱 Stay tuned—there’s still so much more to come!

This plant seems to have grown much denser and better than my first plant. I just got the ac infinity ventilation setup with controller 69 for my 2x2, still trying to learn, hopefully grow #3 goes even better. Stay tuned

I transplanted yesterday into their final homes. The substrate is soil, worm castings, peat and perlite + the roots of my old francos lemon cheese (torn up). The soil is very moist, so I wont be watering for a little while. Pictures coming soon

Hello folks 💪 💪 💪 19/03/22 first day in first week of vegetation 😇

It’s better than it was before.This week I’m giving only water and the next one I will flush with flawless finish

Well growmies this one is a keeper that's for sure 👈 couldn't of asked for better Genetics 😉 She kept chunking up week after week , I had a feeling she was gonna be a chunky monster but Holy hell 😳 😍 😅 Amazing Plant 👉 Big thanks to all my Growmies out there in GD land 👈 Much appreciated 🙏 Thanks To MarsHydro for the TS1000 👉I used NutriNPK for nutrients for my grows and welcome anyone to give them a try .👈 👉 www.nutrinpk.com 👈 NutriNPK Cal MAG 14-0-14 NutriNPK Grow 28-14-14 NutriNPK Bloom 8-20-30 NutriNPK Bloom Booster 0-52-34

I'm so excited! This week she entered flowering! Almost doubled her height! Grew 22cm this week! I have transplanted her into a 10 Litre fabric pot. I've never used these before, but they look promising. Different to airpots. I'd say more extreme tbh. Oxygen to the root zone is never a bad thing 😎

Ich habe rausgefunden was der Fehler in der Woche 1 war. Anfänger Fehler, zu nass…. Einfach zu viel gegossen, Töpfe zu schwer! Seitdem nur 1 mal gegossen mit 50% der angegeben Düngemenge von Advanced Nutrients Woche 2. gewechselt auf MH Lampe 250 Watt, Abstand der Lampe verringert auf ca. 40 cm. Ich habe noch keine aktive Zuluft aktiviert. Die Pflanzen haben sich gut erholt, ich würde sagen das die Entwicklung jetzt normal läuft. Die Klima Bedingungen wie RLF und Temperatur sind optimal. Seit Woche 2 minimale Zugabe an Cal Mag. Da dies der letzte grow mit diesem Setup ist hoffe ich auf eine gute Ernte….. Peace

Start of week 2 flowering. This girl is hungrier than her round 1 sister. Probably because of the extra veg time, she has developed more root and plant mass that needs more nutrients. The plant itself is growing nicely, stretching a little and filling out.

So frosty now. And the smelll... so stinky. Citrus and gas.

This lady is coming along nicely. Going to have to do a little more top dressing and compost teas as she’s getting hungry. This girl has so many tops it blows my mind lol!! 😎

Now i have found the wrong week 19... In this so much H2O2 and EC 2.3 ... Fail....now pump

First 5 Days of The Flowering Week . The Green o Matics performing Amazing . Prepared a automatic Water System , because im on vacation the next 6 days Also change the green o matic in a seperated 60x60 tent because the Main tent changed to 12/12 Flower time today. Updates Coming March 5

######################################### HARVEST (Day 93 / June 4) ######################################### ----------------------------------------------------------- GROW SUMMARY ----------------------------------------------------------- Grown in 4x4 tent - but I only used 2x2 space because of heater and dehumidification and other plants (Outlier Z). This plant used a dedicated CMH 315 light. The plant was grown in hydroponics using a custom single-site PA hydroponics clone RDWC system with Advanced Nutrients Sensi Coco line, Microbial Mass and Orca for beneficials. I also experimented with Rapid start in the RDWC system, but I didn't see explosive root growth relying on Rapid Start as an additive to the system verse using it when starting in rapid rooters which worked well. All around a pretty easy grow and things went very well. Topped twice for a mainline structure and she really spread out. Sparkling golf ball size nugs down the branches and spaced out nicely. The scent off her was like burned rubber/tires or maybe fresh blacktop. A single water change which was only performed when switching to bloom nutrients around week 7. ----------------------------------------------------------- HARVEST ----------------------------------------------------------- No dark period and no flush. On day 93 she was chopped and hung to dry. ----------------------------------------------------------- DRYING ----------------------------------------------------------- Entire plant hung upside down for 15 days. The temps were dialed in at 60F by using the S6 intake fan pulling air from the AC through intake vent on side of the tent. Humidity was dialed in at 63%/60F for 24hr, 62%/60F for the next 48hr. Then 60%/60F for the third day and onward. AC Infinity T6/S6 exhaust and intake fans were on the setting of '2' during drying until day 7, then I could turn down to a setting of '1' once the plants were not transpiring excess moisture. Trimmed on day 18. Then the jars were left open in the tent for another 12 more days for a full 30 day dry at 60%/60F while rolling the jars frequently. Also ran dehumidifier in the tent but it only ran for 1-2 minutes every hour because the AC was doing most of the dehumidification on the intake. ----------------------------------------------------------- TRIMMING ----------------------------------------------------------- Trimming was an absolute breeze. All swelled nuggets, very little sugar leafs left to trim. ----------------------------------------------------------- CURING ----------------------------------------------------------- Flower product was transferred to 1L mason jars averaging 35g of product per jar. I added a mini hygrometer to each jar and chose not to use a boveda this time. The RH averaged 62-64% when trimmed flowers went in jars. Jars were left open in the tent for a total dry time of 30 days from harvest keeping the tent at 60%/60F. Once closed, the jars were burped once a day for the first seven days, once every other day for the next seven days, rolling jars often. The burp was only for 3-5 second for air exchange until a. 62% was maintained in the jar. ----------------------------------------------------------- YIELD ----------------------------------------------------------- * Weight calculated at 62% humidity after 30-day dry and 14-day cure. ============================== FLOWER PRODUCT ============================== 180.41g (6.44oz) ============================== TRIM PRODUCT ============================== 57g (2.03oz) ** All major fan leaves, stems, and branches removed from trim product. ============================== TOTAL OVERALL YIELD ============================== Total: 238.41g (8.51oz) ============================== SPACE YIELD ============================== 238.41g / 4 sqft (2x2 canopy) = 59.60g per sqft ============================== WATTAGE YIELD ============================== 315 Watts / 4 Square Foot (3x4 canopy) = 78.75 watts per sqft. 238.41g / 315 watts = 0.76 grams per watt ----------------------------------------------------------- PRODUCT TEST ----------------------------------------------------------- Bag appeal is top-notch. Trichome covered, with aromas of that unique 'kush' you can quickly identify based on experience. Best OG Kush I've ever tried, hands down! The flavour is kushy, smoke is smooth and definitely my favorite strain in my tote of cured harvests at the moment. I can't keep my hands off of the jars. Definitely not a daytime strain, even for experienced users, although I'll use it in the afternoon when life is throwing curve balls. The effects rise you up, then sets you right down and will wash away all that anxiety after a long day. Put it this way....if I puff a few hours before bed, I still feel it the next morning when I peel my eyes open. No joke. I'll definitely be growing this one again, maybe even next run because I'll be sad when I run out. ----------------------------------------------------------- REGRETS ----------------------------------------------------------- Not running more of this amazing plant. ----------------------------------------------------------- NEXT RUN ----------------------------------------------------------- This was the first run at my new residence so it will take some time to get it dialed in. I had some calibration issues which are now fixed. I'm going to be shooting for 1gram per watt on the next run. ----------------------------------------------------------- FINAL THOUGHTS ----------------------------------------------------------- DarkOwl is the best autoflower I've grown yet. I'm now eager to give the Bruce Banner #3 they released a run and will surely acquire future releases from DarkOwl. ----------------------------------------------------------- THE END ----------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for checking out my diary! I typically journal in my notebook but I put some time and effort into documenting my grows on this platform in hopes it will help a new or experienced grower with their DWC journey. Any questions or suggestions are welcomed. Happy growing!

this week, the girl grew as expected, which makes me very happy :) she has already started to bloom, but I still have to use LST, because her two main crowns will escape:) everything is fine, she looks healthy and strong :)

4/28 MONDAY 330am.... Looking great. All plants growing in an almost perfect square 4/29 3am looking good 5/1 4am Doing great!!!! Did you know that NOT burning your plants makes them grow better???...boring. I better add TONS of supplements. 5/2 12am 8ml Con. bloom. a little left over Grow nutes. 430 am 7Z is strong enough to trim off bottom buds. I usually leave those as early samples not this time. Concentrate all power to 4 solid easy to trim, dry and store. They are ALL STRONG.....WOW the flowers are FAST they really live up to the name and they JUST started they are going to be great if I dont burn them!!!! Great luck with them all!!!!!! 2 pm. Defoliation and bud trimming worked great. 7Z has3 colas that are VERY big and one that is just ok. Im going to think about this for a day or so, BUT I MIGHT chop to a 3 cola grow, get rid of the smaller one and see if that will bring THAT potential energy to the remaining strong colas?????🚨
