Mandarin cookies R1 v2

* ********* Week 11 - June 20 to 26, 2020 - Days 71 to 77 from germination *********** * It is the end of flush week and she went into darkness on Wednesday night, day 75, for two days. Saturday will be harvest day and start and the dry process👍 She has certainly been going through the beautiful stage of senescence and her fade is gorgeous. The purples and yellows coming out are great......covers up the brown spots😂😂 Her buds are densing this week as we work on bring down the humidity. Running in the mid 60’s for humidity late in flower is a different experience and one that takes some getting used to. Bring down further to low 50’s has really helped to bring out her frost as well. Kept the humidity high to form big buds......now lowering to make them more sticky👍👍 I am feeling very strongly that the big part of the pH issues this run was a change in feed water. I have always used bottled RO water for all my grows, except outdoors, but this grow I switched to tap water. Dechlorinated the water with air stone and gave it 24 hours min before using. Wanted to save some money and tired of lugging bottles downstairs a couple of times a week☹️ This is worked out nicely and a lot more convenient. However, the city must be putting some crap in the water that is causing issues in my media and raises the pH after the watering. Out of the tap it is 8.4pH and 275ppm. Since ppm were not too bad in my opinion I moved forward without filtering the water.......oops🤬🤬🤬 Out of options on what is causing the issue, I switched back to RO water late last week........all the girls are happier!!!! F......missed the cause for weeks. Always learning from this plant and my own mistakes to get better every run😉👍 Also wanted to add a little more stress to girl to help push out some increased resin. I drilled a 5/16” hole into the main stem to cause her stress. I did this rather than trying to break a branch and will see how it goes this run. Sterilized a new bit in Alcohol and went for it. They went into darkness about a couple of hours later. Excited to see what happens when she comes out to get chopped😃😃 Little more detail...... June 20/20 - Day 71 - Rezin and Liquid Weight @ 2ml/L = 285ppm and 4.0ph - 8L given to get a good flush - Runoff in pots already were 7.8pH and 485ppm. - after 8L water runoff was 7.0pH and 370ppm. - she is 29” tall and 30” wide. - tricombs still mainly cloudy.....review again in couple of days. June 21/20 - Day 72 - Dry out day - buds are firming up......squeezed a couple🧐 - temps are nice outside so tent able to hold 75 degrees and 51% humidity. June 22/20 - Day 73 - Rezin @ 1ml/L = 120ppm and pH the water to 2.7!!!!!!!!! - Given 2L watering. - No runoff water and I am good with that as I want the low pH water to stay in the medium. - She will be ready soon. Thinking darkness on Wednesday and harvest on Saturday?? June 23/20 - Day 74 - 2L plain water feed - 80ppm and pH to 2.4!!!!!! - not excited about these crazy low pH numbers but doing what we can - her tops are getting really pointy now and her leaves are very yellow. - checking tricombs, I think we are done and tomorrow will be her last day so that I can take down on Saturday. June 24/20 - Day 75 - 2L plain water feed - 80ppm and pH to 3.0 - Going into darkness tonight so this was her last bit of moisture. - drilled a hole into the stem.....was going to do a couple of holes but not trying this method before I decided to leave it with one hole. - into darkness tonight So we finish up the week with her in the dark. Next update will be the harvest!! Thanks very much for taking the time to review my diary!! Sorry for running behind often on this run.........everyone has had a busy life the last couple of months in the world and its been no different here...........a huge Kudos to all the Growmie‘s that are able to keep up with their diaries on daily basis on GrowDiaries.......its a commitment😃👍👍 Mephisto has bread a very nice girl. She is big and sticky and grown very well considering the environment she has been given. Battling the high pH and still turning out as she has is awesome and much respect!!!! Great job Mephisto, can’t wait to run her again.......just so happens I have several more seeds of her😃👍

topped her again in all bud sites and tied some branches to the pot she's wild kkkkk

Here we go 😊 Planning & germination 👍 The strain is Chunky Cookies x Blackberry Gelato by Amsterdam Genetics. I´m really looking forward to this run, the SpectrumX from Medicgrow with build in PPFD, 4 spectrums V1, F1, VS, FS and 880 Watt is definitely serious business 👊 Trying out a new soil in this grow. The plant mulch is an exclusive mixture of harped mulch, nutrient-rich natural fertiliser, hill sand and long-term matured compost. The mixture provides a porous and airy structure, which ensures that both water and nutrients are easily accessible to the plant's roots. Stay tuned and Keep it green 😎

Increasing feed and light slowly , things are coming along , there nice and compact , they seem to have good root growth so far and will speed up as I increase the light and feed from now . My ec/ph meter decided to break so been waiting for a new one .

Vamos familia, esto ya va cogiendo de nuevo forma, me encanta esta variedad do sweet dos de sweet seeds es brutal, cepa cruzada x cookies 🍪, es un híbrido que bien cultivado no falla. . El ph como siempre 5,8 , la temperatura es óptima, en 22/24 grados de media, y la humedad actualmente está entre el 60/70%. . AgroBeta: 0,8 ml x L Piramid , vía radicular. 0,6 ml x L Growth black line , vía radicular. 0,1 gr x L Cancerbero , vía radicular. 0,1 ml x L Tucán , vía radicular. 0,1 ml x L Flash Root , vía radicular. 0,4 ml x L Great Green , vía foliar. 0,05 ml x L Gold Joker, vía radicular. .

So this is the Tear Down week. The timing of it makes it so i will need to the harvest flag in a few days when I can weight and test the plants. I have included the Cleaning, and Cutting and some Root Porn. I will make the harvest post in about 4-5 days, when I can trim these plants. There is a lot of Plant here. I got way more than I was expecting. I don't have a scale that measure this amount of plant, without taking like 10 measurements and then adding them together. So I will just be posting the dry weight. I will post the wet weight as dry weight * 1.65. Autopots: Wow, what a great product. I have been blown away by how well and how easy it was to work with them. They really did solve the watering issues. Excellent product. If you are a beginner, start with Autopots. -= Lessons Learnt =- - Overdrive the air to your Autopots. In my control plant, I used a small rectangle air stone (instead of a standard air dome). This lead to root rot and some other issues, it also put significantly less air into the water. The root rot, give the material for the Brown Algae to grow. Using a huge Air-disc-Air-Stone would be an excellent combo to mix in with the air dome itself. Something like this: https://www.amazon.ca/Pawfly-Diffuser-Suction-Hydroponics-Aquarium/dp/B01MY3AQ33 at the bottom and the air-dome on top of it, will be what I do with my next experiment. - Air stone in the reservoir. I had two instances where algae grew into the res. An air stone would have helped. It would have also helped my control plant get less root rot. Given the amount that the air-domes and air sources got engulfed, having the water have more o2 in it would have only been beneficial. - Don't grow 6 plants in a 4x4. Since my control plant was about 1/8th the size of the others, I think I could have grown 5 in the shape of a 5 (on a 6 sided dice)⚄ This placement would give a much more spaced canopy for airflow and more importantly light. The sides of some of the plants were lighter green and produced larf due to lack of light penetration. - This tent was on 19-5 schedule. This worked out very well for this strain. After every lights on, they were in the praying position, so this strain was able to recover in that 5hrs off. If I had more seeds, I would run these again, and try 20-4. I think this strain could handle it. All for all, I think I'm going to 19-5 as my default timing. This kept up a solid DLI. - Staring at .9EC (really .7 EC cause my water here is .2 EC) Then bumping up at .1 a week, until 1.6EC worked out VERY well. I experimented on this crop all the way up to 1.9EC, which burnt the tips of this plant. I think if I did this strain again, I would do 1.6EC until 3-4 weeks left then crank it to 1.9. It did plump them up when I went to 1.9, however it left them looking rough. Bulk was added though. - Sticking to 6.0PH for all of veg, and 2 weeks into flower worked great. The plant had solid and consistent color and leaf shape . The plant's did get hurt, due to some issues (as noted on the weeks). I switched to 6.5 PH in the last 3-4 weeks and it helped them recover, and plump up noticeably. -VPD. The #1 thing I focused on was VPD. I keep it .9kpa range, as best as humanly possible. It was honestly, HUGELY noticeable compared to my other grows. I know truly understand the value of properly dialed in VPD. This is the one lesson that will stick with me forever. - Super-cropping: On the plants I give the chiropractic treatment too, had much thicker stems as much larger channel internally. I did this treatment to 4 of the 6, and the 4 that had it done has larger buds and recovered from defoliation faster. TLDR; VPD is king. Super-cropping is worth the time. Keeping PH and EC dialed in were all wins. Autopots kick ass.

Very excited , first grow. Struggling with knowing the exact amount of water they need since I am already in the big pots their final resting home

--- Day 50 --- 22/06/2021 Shes really happy in the new tent, I'd officially say we're in preflower / flower now 😄 I'm watering 4L and she's really loving it. I've watered her again with 4L of 23C, 1500PPM, 6.0PH water with the above nutrients --- Day 51 --- 23/06/2021 Things are looking really good, flowers are coming in nicely, she's still growing and most of the low quality leaves have fallen off 😁 I've watered her again with 4L of 23C, 1500PPM, 6.0PH water with the above nutrient --- Day 52 --- 24/06/2021 Shes really happy, everything is going great. I measure her and she's 32" tall now 😄 I've watered her again with 4L of 23C, 1500PPM, 6.0PH water with the nutrients above --- Day 53 --- 25/06/2021 Nothing really to report, she's still growing good. The flowers and coming in more and more, they're everywhere now. I've watered her again with 4L of 23C, 1500PPM, 6.0PH water with the nutrients above --- Day 54 --- 26/06/2021 Yet again, nothing much to report.

She grew 21cm this week!! Flowers developing nicely. On she goes. 😎

Enamorado de esta variedad,está demostrando unos colores muy hermosos,su aroma es muy fuerte y notorio,esta semana vamos a aplicar la técnica rib para ver si tiene un beneficio en la planta . Ahora se viene el engorde unas de mis etapas favoritas.estoy pensando en poner tutores para soportar el peso de las flores

16 down 15 up so 15 up out of 20 total seeds

I still only feed rainwater every few days if the soil gets dry

.

They are exploding right now. Week 2 Flower Begins. The drank 34 Liters in 6 days from the Autopot Reservoir. Airdomes are all on full blast during lights off.....contemplating one more LST Training over the next day or so.....we shall see. Nov 3rd Update....Holy shit....They have gone through 35 litres of Nutrients since Wed...3 days ago. I have hung up the second Scrog net and will start to guide the tops through over the next few days. I have also added a little supplemental lighting to get them in the mood: 3 Bloom LED strips...I can probably hang them a little lower...

🇩🇪 Die ersten Blütenstände sind erkennbar und sie beginnt sich zu Strecken. Sie beginnt auch schon leicht zu duften. Ich bin mal gespannt. Alle Parameter sehen gut aus und die Pflanze dementsprechend auch. Vor ein paar Tagen war es sehr heiß draußen, wodurch die Temperatur auf 29 grad gestiegen ist. Dem Strain hat es aber nichts ausgemacht. Die anderen Pflanzen haben die Blätter hängen lassen aber FB scheint sehr resistent gegen hohe Temperaturen zu sein, bzw. sie gut wegzustecken. Die Lampe habe ich heute auf 75% hochgedreht. 🇺🇸 The first buds are visible, and it’s starting to stretch. It’s also beginning to emit a light scent. I’m curious to see how it develops. All the parameters look good, and so does the plant. A few days ago, it was very hot outside, causing the temperature to rise to 29°C. However, the strain didn’t seem to mind. The other plants drooped their leaves, but FB appears to be very resistant to high temperatures or able to handle them well. Today, I turned the lamp up to 75%. 🇪🇸 Los primeros cogollos son visibles, y está comenzando a estirarse. También empieza a emitir un ligero aroma. Tengo curiosidad por ver cómo se desarrolla. Todos los parámetros se ven bien, y la planta también. Hace unos días hizo mucho calor afuera, lo que hizo que la temperatura subiera a 29°C. Sin embargo, a esta cepa no pareció afectarle. Las otras plantas bajaron sus hojas, pero FB parece ser muy resistente a las altas temperaturas o capaz de manejarlas bien. Hoy subí la lámpara al 75%.

Week 5 Veg and things are cruising along. The lanky girl in the 2 gal pot is starting to look better structure wise than the other 5. Thinking about transferring her to a 7 gallon pot for clones! The Tri leaf mutation is really taking off, throwing tops for days with out training or topping. 3 of the ladies have been topped to make bushes and the other are growing natural with some defoliation.
