10 weeks have passed now and I’m feeling a little more optimistic. She is getting sticky and the Trichomes have increased in quantity and size over the past week. I’ll be feeding her with plain water for the next week or two and will be checking the Trichomes on the daily. She is starting to smell a good bit stronger too. I think she could be another week or two before the big chop, but I’ll just watch her like a hawk over the coming weeks. I need to pick up a scales for the final dry weight too. That’s a number I’m eager to see. While I’m not expecting much, I’m hoping I can at least fill a small jar.

Hello and welcome to Pete's run#6! Summer is long gone. For a grower like me, that means I can start relaxing just a tiny bit. No longer will extreme heat and humidity challenge a man's orientation in space-time, when inline fans become heating devices, or when an unnoticed 4L spill of dehumidifier water magically implements a VPD protocol that existed only in my mind. You heard me right. run#5 is proof that accidents don't have it in for you. They are not even ACKNOWLEDGING you, as they sometimes carry out your deeds. With these high scientific standards established for run#6, I present to you the inhabitants, the only 3 specimens presently exploring our universe while being enveloped by Pete's protocols & tent. Wish them well, they did not get a say in this: FastBuds | F4 | Pineapple OG Auto FastBuds | F1 | Mango Frost Auto FastBuds | F6 | Gorilla Cookies Auto --- For my first runs, I chose FastBuds and stuck with them. Whatever happened during run#1, I got an extremely satisfying and undeserved result of 2 different Gorilla Cookies in fairly great quality, + a pink Strawberry Gorilla, whos terpenes sadly evaporated during late flowering. This experience was a hallmark moment for me. For the first time I could compare low quality cannabis (that always made me tired) with a quirky but vibrant home grow result, realized under intense financial pressure. The product's characteristics in comparison were so striking that I could not stop learning about what made that happen. This was not just a great "cannabis experience". It was here where it really dawned on me that cannabis was not a uniform substance at all. It could be modulated, components could be understood, made and preserved to achieve specific, wildly different properties. The pharmaceutical complex described it completely wrong, but provided products sometimes with pure THC even. Doctors were trying to combat a substance whose properties were derived from the worst documented use cases - practically inventing their own fictional profile and then recommending against it. The question to be answered was not simply: Should I use cannabis or not? The question now became: What can I make cannabis do, and who are the people that really know best? --- Naturally, I was extremely hesitant to try another breeder. So when I did - with Mephisto and later Dutch Passion, where footage of big, thriving plants was a bit harder to find - I grew completely convinced that quality is abundant within the reputable breeder scene. As a matter of fact, Mephisto strains ended up growing larger in comparison even during run#3, when I learned what really happens to roots with extreme gypsum formation in my medium. Dutch Passion's Auto Cinderella Jack ranked #1 in yield for me in run#5 with her first try, after Mephisto's 505 Headbanger and FastBuds Sour Jealousy both tied for #1 after run#4. run#6 is a great test case for my ongoing protocols and my planned adjustment during the cycle, like giving my nutrient composition the next iteration & polish after discovering some really shaky N & K curves. Cookies gets her fourth go in my tent, so she reads familiar to me and also serves as a control. --- Oh yeah, the PLANTS! Pineapple OG and Mango Frost click into my sativa preference with a hybrid twist, while Gorilla Cookies is pretty much coming back home. Mango skipped the queue when I forgot she was an F1, so fingers crossed her standout heritage that qualified her for me expresses well. Pineapple reads as a promising daytime profile with a chase terp expression I just have to witness. Preservation of metabolites during flowering and beyond is my #1 goal, besides obviously growing big and healthy cultivars that have the biological backbone for complete metabolite expression. Watch me make mistakes, watch the plants forgive me, enjoy the chaos that stirs up when I am pitted against the laws of nature. - Pete

Upper growth slowed for about a week or two and root developed, but then the top started growing, and branches started forming. Leaves started getting bigger.

All is well. I'm continuing to feed 'bloom' nutrients every other time I water. I'm giving heavy calmag doses every time I water. I'm trying to take out any unnecessary vegetation that is preventing air circulation. Lights are all at about 85% intensity... I won't be turning them up any more than that. I have reduced my nitrogen load... By the end of next week I won't be giving any more nitrogen at all.

Hey guys, update week 2 this week I decided to do a video update to change it up, I also didnt take the plants out of the plant this week just gave water. They are all happy and grow at a nice rate, still no fertilizer just water in Sonnenerde living soil, even though the size of them compared to the pot size makes me worry a bit. Lets see what the next week has in store as we continue this journey together. I have to say I like these genetics a lot, all making nice trichomes and developing a beautiful aroma, solid plants, not one of the 4 doing funky things. Solid genetics !

Las plantas siguen creciendo y formando flores. A la mitad les e aplicado una defoliacion selectiva de hojas primarias para abrir paso a las ramas bajas y agrupar la planta de esta forma consigues plantas mas compactas al no tener que alejarse tanto las ramas del tallo para recibir luz. La otra mitad no lo a necesitado al ser un fenotipo mas xativo y corto. El aporte de co2 las hace trabajar bastante y aguantar la dosis de nutrientes diaria. Solo se riega una vez a la semana con sensizym. La distancia internodal de algunas plantas es espectacularmente corta. Llos cogollos ya estan unidos y apenas han comenzado a salir. Muy ansioso por ver como continua esta variedad de barneys farm. En el ultimo video podeis ver el plano general y la diferencia que hay entre el fenotipo mas xativo y el fenotipo indico a pesar de ser todas dos si dos 33 y estar bajo las mismas condiciones.

Transplanted 11-14 to 8” CC net cups and moved into veg tent under a Mars hydro TSL2000 (302 watts from wall at 100%) set at at 50%. Kept other clones going in cloner in case any of these don’t adapt well. I’ve noticed the Mob Boss tend to need a lot of cal mag even with tap water. The moms are in behind the table the background of the pics. Sisters are in flower in the flower tent. These will run about 5 weeks in veg so I will try to keep their growth slow. They both stretch about double with mob boss stretching slightly more than duct tape. Their names are Lucia and Ellie (Mob Boss) April and June (Duct Tape) 5” average 11-16 update: all taking very well to the veg tent and RDWC. kicked the light down about 5% to 45% to slow growth. 11-18 light still at 45% and very good growth. Maintaining ph pretty decently. 6.5” average

Week 4 of flowering and the plant is still building structure rather than real bulk — bud development looks a bit underwhelming so far, except for the main cola where Gorilla genetics are starting to show. The plant remains extremely healthy with a massive number of bud sites across the canopy. Planning a more aggressive defoliation this week to improve light penetration and prepare for proper bud stacking in the coming weeks.

Final stretch, next week it's time to flush them. The smell is really strong when I open the bedroom door, I believe in an extremely satisfactory result.. ❄️💪🌲 ***The photo of the trichomes ended up getting mixed up, so I'll post photos of all the plants.

The 7th week started. Based on the Breeder's description it is supposed to be the final week for The Gelato Cookie D'ohpe so it should be ready to harvest. It is my first grow but I can say it needs a minimum of 2 weeks to be ready. I think 10 weeks at least. I have checked another diary with the same strain and it took 10-12 weeks to be finished. I placed the Purple Punch 38 hours Darkness so from now I will give 14 hours darkness and 10 hours light schedule to start flowering. They are in the same tent so I take out in the morning to be in darkness, and put back at night. I did reset the timers. Water: 125 ml 2x daily each plant so altogether 250ml a day for 2 plants. I raise up every week with 50 ml a week per plant. Fertilization the same amount of water the same acacia honey around 2 big spoons and bat guano 1 teaspoon per 1-liter water and I fertilize it 3 times a week every second day on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, plus one-half day like on Saturday once. So from today (Thursday), I started forcing the feminized strain Purple Punch to flower also after 45 days from germination. This week not too much things to say. The Gelato Cookie D'ohpe stopped growing just added an extra 5 cm to its height. Hopefully it focuses on the bigger buds creation. Purple Punch grew an extra 2 cm. End of the week Purple Punch is 37 cm, Gelato Cookie D'ohpe is 70cm.

Plants are looking awesome. Skullcap is extremely frosty, the whole tent reeks and no hiccups. I've noticed that the (14) pineapple express #2 seems to be less dense of a bud cola, its looking like the (15) Pineapple express #2 is the better version. If it doesn't tighten up this one's out of the running. I already got rid of the skullcap mom, great quality, but not the quantity I wanted to see.

Today I harvested after about 24 hours with lights turned on. The smell is strong lemon with a hint of mint :) I cant wait to taste her when its dry, and in my opinion it smells and looks good :) Had some problems with temperature, but with some gear improvements I think I got the right solution for it for next time. As this is my first try doing this im pretty happy, but ofcourse there is room for improvements :) Thanks to everyone for checking in on my diary and the likes! :) Happy growing and peace 🌲✌️ Total dry weight - 338grams 🌲

📆 Semana 9 El engorde continúa su curso, con los cogollos ganando densidad y peso de forma constante, apretando bien los cálices y acercándose poco a poco a su forma final. La estructura ya está completamente formada, centrando ahora la energía en la compactación y el volumen. La resina sigue acumulándose en capas más gruesas, aportando un aspecto cada vez más cubierto y brillante. El perfil aromático se vuelve cada vez más complejo, combinando notas increíblemente ácidas con matices de lavanda, melón y un fondo amaderado que empieza a marcar el carácter final de la genética. Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

Day 29 and starting off Week 4 awesome even with my big mistake and not knowing that on mainlining you top first time at third node but the second toppings you can do at first with enough growth but in waited till 3rd on both new mains.. o well you live and learn but hey she looks like shes doing fine atleast will have some nice buds Day 32 update: Now that I have the fungus gnats under control everything has been perfect.. used Foxfarm SledgeHammer to water her to flush all that extra leftover salts in the soil out from the grow nutes, because will be switching to my bloom nutes on next watering, and she seems to have liked it.

Die Ernte war relativ einfach da sie wenig Blätter ausgebildet hat und mehr Blüten Masse! Viel länger hätte sie auch nicht mehr stehen lassen können da die Blüten Masse bei der dicke schlecht Belüftung in der mitte hat und mir das schimmel Risiko zu hoch ist .

Plant is doing well, she's thin but let's see what I can get from her. She's tall. Haven't checked her height in a few days but nearly 60cm I'd say. Vegged out at 54cm. 4/6/22 Took her height today. Has put on 18cm this week. Topping out at 72cm. Not much to her though. Hoping for long nice dense colas. There is lots of tight bud sites coming right up the colas. 6/6/22 Doing great. Putting on 1.5-2cm every day. All nodes have also took a decent stretch and are all nearly level. Also she's starting to get lots of frost.

day 1 - flower week 6 has now started and i want to H²O stress her in the next 2-3 weeks in hope to get her metabolism to work faster. it works by fakeing that the plant has a dry year and might not have enought water to stay alive till she can reproduce. so she starts to work faster and goes turbo (bro science explainaition). thats what i want to try here so dont expect it to work out perfectly. i watered her every day before this week and i will reduce by about 40%. i will still spray the soil every day a little bit when the light turns on but only every other day she will get her usual water dosage (about 600-700ml)
