Hi everyone! Sorry for the late post I've had a lot of personal crap holding me back but I'm on the bounce back and trying to catch up with everything. Couple lessons learnt on this one. I'm going to run this strain again but a little differently based on experience from this grow, the plants were ready at week 8 barring flush so I reckon I can cut away two weeks of flower time and start my plain water flush at week 7 and chop at week 8 instead of 10 which will be great as I will be adding at least one but most likely two of those weeks to the veg time so my turnaround will be the same but my end yield should hopefully be much better. This grow is by far my best quality end product, hard nugs, caked in trichs, stinky as hell water and strong as a Russian circus freak. Yield however was not as expected from 2 meter squared using a 600w hps and 450w Ied I wanted 20-25 oz and I got 15 but I know where I went wrong as previously mentioned and I have set a challenge to do it again hitting 25oz, same strain, same system, same nutes, 1 extra plant, 1-2 weeks extra veg time and 1-2 weeks less flower time. What's everyone reckon? Any holes in this plan? Like the look of my end product? Got a question? Comment below! Thanks everyone for looking in its always my pleasure! Peace and love Fire_Farmer🔥👨‍🌾

Typical Green Crack harvest, lot of leaves but easy otherwise Lack of tent space really hurt her yield, guessing 25% less due to it Dry weight for Plenty 322 grams nice easy final trim rock hard nugs Two clones follow The clones nearly identical both weigh in at 710 grams wet in dry yield later Clones yielded 287 grams dry

10.06.2023 RACCOLTO_RED HOT COOKIES Sweet Seeds 🌱 142 giorni dal seme 🌼 70 giorni fioritura ⚖️ 2895 grammi non secchi totale di 4 piante Tutto è andato per il meglio in questa corsa. Le 4 piante di Red hot cookies si sono dimostrate veramente forti. Colori stupendi a fine fioritura, non rossi come speravo, profumo di terra, dolcezza e aspro mescolati con note di gas, un profilo terpenico molto interessante. Lo scrog effettuato da me, non credo abbia dato il massimo potenziale di queste piante, con il tempo migliorerò anche questo aspetto, ma spero di stare su 1 hg a pianta di media. Aggiornamento a breve con peso a secco, foto dei fiori ripuliti e rapporto sulla potenza di questa varietà. Ringrazio tutti quelli che sono passati a vedere il mio diario, a tutti i like i commenti e ai consigli.. un grande love a tutta la community di growdiaries 💚🙏

So week 5 has started. This week should be flowering week but shes taking it slowly. She looks lovely and healthy tho. This week I start adding bloom fertilizer to her solution. I like the way she stayed low and bushy. She has around 8 colas with this small size. I am trying to rotate the fan leaves with sticks so the lower colas can see the light directly. Almost everyday I am doing some changes with her LST. Main stem grew vertical nicely just as I wanted. But still I couldnt fill all my coverage area. Maybe because of the strain itself, or my low power lights, or 12/12 start light cycle. Probably all of them affected her size. Day 30. Switched one of the 6500K bulb with 2700K. Now its 2x6500, 2x2700. And the 300W LED ofc. a short 1 hour timelapse. I need a bigger memory card so I can make a proper timelapse Day 31. Changed this week to flowering week. I can see shes focusing on her pre-flowers lately. Each day i can notice they grow taller. Changed another 6500K bulb with 2700K. Was waiting for next week but seems she is ready for full flow mode. You can see her curvy body on pictures. It looks really nice imo. Middle buds already as big as main cola now. Day 35. Last day of week 5. Fed her today and this time I add 1ml/l Top-Max. There are some small burns on random areas. Some are on edge of the leaves while others are in the middle like small dots. I guess they are light burn. No big deal hopefully. The first leaves on the bottom of her main stem are drying and dying. I think thats normal. Everything else seems pretty healthy. She is filling 30x25 cm area while my coverage area is 40x40cm. Not too bad but next time I will train it better for sure. Watering every 2 days with around 500ml water. And feeding between 2 waterings so every 6 day.

Week twenty-two is officially done on the Pineapple Upside Down Cake. This week is a turning point, marking the end of vegetative growth and the start of the flowering transition. I decided to switch the light cycle to twelve-twelve. Initially, the plan was to wait for a stronger recovery, but the reality is simple: it wasn’t happening. The plant was given roughly three full weeks to acclimate after stress, and the response stayed limited. Rather than staying stuck in an endless waiting phase, I chose to move forward. This means accepting that flowering may not be extremely vigorous or high-energy. That’s fine. This run is also about observation, learning, and adapting. Flowering was initiated gently, at around three hundred PPFD, to avoid adding more stress. At the same time, I switched the nutrient program to Athena bloom and adjusted the recipe accordingly. The plant has now been under flowering conditions for about twenty-four to forty-eight hours. Over the coming week, I expect to see the first signs of stretch. It’s a bit frustrating, because structurally the plant was doing really well. The LST work created a clean, balanced canopy, and the potential was clearly there. Now the focus is simple. No rushing. No over-correction. Just letting the plant transition naturally into flower and observing how she reacts. Next week will officially mark the first true week of flowering. From there, we’ll reassess posture, stretch, and overall vitality. For now, the plant is left alone to settle into its new rhythm. That’s it for week twenty-two. See you next week.

Not much to report this week, the trichomes are still milky. My feeling is that it will take another 2-3 weeks until they are ready to harvest. Until then, I will continue with the fertilizer scheme. The smell of both strains is very pleasantly fruity (citrus) and I continue to monitor the VPD value and temperatures. This time there are no pictures and only videos they show better the development, in the time lapse you can still see a growth in the flowers, slow but there is still growth.

Amber trichs are just starting to show up and for my preference that's my Q... Put em in the dark for couple days and flip em upside down ;P really excited... Took a little sample off each one to check for seeds and problems ect. And u know I couldn't go without sparking up... Lemme just say... Every cookies strain except the fried banana tastes amazing right off the bush... (That's not to say fried banana isn't good either just had problems and it hermied and freaking got my orange cake along with it ... Haven't found anything on the big Z or spilt paint but u can't about bet ur bottom it happened to them too... So that didn't thrill me... But for the most part these cookies have been really good to me... Big Z smells like absolute zkittles and u can really smell the runtz too! All followed by a sweet earth smell that just lingers for ever! It's great! All n all pretty stoked! I'll get a total of the 3 plants... Fried banana is going to hash and I'll press it to some oil ...

Amber trichomes are starting to form, we're cloudy in most sections but there's still a bunch of clear a little deeper in. This is probably their last full week..we cut all nutrients nearly a month ago and have been watering heavy (as we typically do during flush) but they have only lightened slightly, we use a soilless media which should be completely flushed out by now but most the leaflets are still super dark, after seeing several other grows of this strain we assume it must be characteristic of B.B..we have 4 grow areas in our grow room and the Bangers can be smelled over everything else.. It smells like Fruit Loops with notes of gasoline 🍓⛽...The SP-3000 by MarsHydro is an absolute beast in a 4x2, this is our 2nd grow under The SP-3000 and we completely filled the 4x2 on both occasions. Each run resulted in massive, compact Buds just covered in resin..its without a doubt the best LED of its size we have in house or have ever been privileged to use honestly... Full disclosure: we got a little impatient starring at these girls, so we (well I did lol) pulled down a bud 2 days ago (approx. 10grams) and immediately threw it in the oven for decarb..we made a 5oz batch of tincture and this is easily the "speediest" Seedsman strain I've tried to date, its a surprisingly clear headed high, definitely a daytime smoke..however, may have a different opinion after a proper dry and cure..we'll update our smoke report after drying...thanks as always for dropping by and happy harvests everyone!! ❤️💡🌱 ⚡Mars Hydro/SP-3000⚡ Specifications ⚙️: Diodes: Samsung LM301B / Osram 660nm (960 total!)

Vamos familia cuarta semana de floración de estás Tropical Zmoothie de SeedStockers. Que ganas tengo de ver el progreso de esta variedad, las plantas están sanas, se ven con buen color. La cantidad de agua cada 48h entre riegos. Esta semana añadimos nutrientes de la gama Agrobeta. Las plantas están bastante bien y eso que subió par de grados la temperatura que en mi tierra hace mucho calor. Estas próximas semanas veremos como avanzan y progresan las flores.

This week was a fun one they started to really push out their pistils. And showing me they are loving life. I backed off the nutrients because of the burning. I also changed the cal-mag to mendencino flowering cal-mag which has no nitrogen.

Two seeds germinated proper, the third seems to be a little slower. It's my first Grow for more then twelve Years. First Time with Autoflowers, first Time with feminized Seeds. Easy work, so far. 😃 T5 Light with 2 Tubes. Third seed germinated at Friday. Third seedling looks insane, i will seed one Taison next Week. The other look very good, I change the Light to 3500 K LED @50W / Plant First Week in Soil, Plants look good.

Es läuft wunderbar! Biscotti hat ihre letzte Woche und kommt zum Wochenende, spätestens nächste Woche Dienstag ab. Der Rest steht bis zum Ende des Monats. Die beiden Neulinge machen sich gut unter 12/12. Ansonsten gibts nicht zu meckern! Freude ist groß und vorfreude noch mehr auf die neuen Sorten. Peace

She was a "slow and steady wins the race" phenotype! 6 weeks veg + 8 week flower. She vegged strong through week 6, and then stacked up some intense colas, because of being lolipopped before flower! During her transition to flower, she was defoliated every 3 days to allow light and air to penetrate the canopy, and allow for maximum stackage! This is possible because, she didn't stretch much during her transition. Instead, she was stacking a tight node structure; and with every new node, comes a set of two leaves! This lady holds my personal record, for my largest yield from an indoor plant!!!

Grow notes week 3 #1 This plant is healthy and thriving. She’s the first to show pistols which means I should change her status to flowering but I won’t do that until it’s pretty obviously in flower. She’s taking the training nicely and I think I’m starting to figure things out when it comes to training.. the trick is to simply SLOW DOWN. #2 is looking great! Her leaves are healthy and node spacing is just how I like it to look. She likes LST and seems happy with the maxi grow/bloom series. The roots on each plant are healthy and white #3 is getting greener each day but I’m starting to believe it’s either genetics or this nutrient line that’s causing this effect. #4 is the thickest and biggest plant of the bunch. However, she is displaying rust spots and potential calcium or iron deficiency on the lower older leaves. I may have to feed heavier on cal mag while running this nutrient line up. Thanks for reading this far! I hope you enjoy these time lapses of this weeks growth.. as always Stay highly dedicated & highly medicated folks 🔥🌿😎💨 Peace & blessings upon you!
