Very saddened by the turn of events, 3 herms, 2 different grow environments, but each tent had another strain growing along with it. No seeds or problems with the Cookies strain… I had no power outages, no light leaks, no schedule changes, and performed relatively little defoliation during flower. To me, this cannot be attributed to stress, as they showed no sign of stress or deficiency’s throughout the grow. Long story short, booooooo.

Early this week found 2 fungus gnats on the soil of one of the plants so was afraid of an infestation but after getting rid of the 2 havent seen any other one. Yesterday (day 14) had to give some support to 1 of the plants cause it was bending over. Overal not perfect but think these problems are all minor. So lets see.

Tricombes mainly milky, some half milky, no amber yet. Pistils are starting to turn orange, white is still the prominent pistil colour at the moment. Couple of leaves are starting to yellow but all up, apart from a slight nute burn the girls are doing nicely. Smells like blueberries, rosemary and chives.. thank Christ for the carbon filter!

So it must be that she prefers to be defoliated the training seemed hard on her for me. She wilted really hard through the weekend. I even reduced her light hours way back and separated them. Now they're back together again. I find that shes also a heavy drinker. I'm super excited shes definetly flowering now! And rather large for the container size. Hope you enjoy & check back next week to see just how fast she grows! And remember its 4:20 somewhere!!!!!!

el segundo corte luego 15 dias o dos semanas, ya mas maduro punto mixto temprano, cogollos ambar y blancos nublados, predominantemente blancos . se ve con mejor pinta que el primer corte

D72 - This week's diary starts late since I was gone on a short trip. The girls didn't miss me though as they are simply doing their thing, and with the automatic drip system, I don't even have to worry about watering. The girls look amazing! The colas are huge with plenty of frost. I'm very chuffed with how this grow is turning out :) D73 - Gave each girl 1.25-liters of water @ pH 6.6, with 25ml EM-1. I'm fighting against temps and humidity since we have a heatwave with thunderstorms and plenty of rain. The average temp in the tent the last 24 hours was 31 degrees C (88F) and RH 63.5%, which is way high this late in flower. D74 - Yes! Our bad weather has moved on, and the humidity in the tent has dropped significantly to the mid-low 50s. Much better. Have to avoid that budrot! There isn't much to do in the tent now when everything is automated, so I spend more time observing and scouting the girls. I figured out that using my hyper-bright flashlight below the canopy is an excellent way to spot leaves that are yellowing from lack of light. I never thought of that before, but damn, it worked great and will now be a new tool in my arsenal. I removed the yellowing leaves and a couple of other fan leaves blocking bud sites. The rest of the leaves I tucked. Speaking of fan leaves, the stalks on the first girl are purple while they are green on the second. Another difference is that the first look frostier than the second girl. Not sure if that means that the second girl will take longer. One fan leaf on the first girl has a strange discoloration in the middle of a fan leaf, but I'm not overly concerned, considering it is only one leaf, and we're towards the end of the grow. Finally, and then I'll stop harping about fan leaves; one leaf tip on the second girl is turning purple. D76 - I had a first look at the trichomes. Clear/milky on both girls, with a random amber here and there on the second girl. Based on this, I guess chop day is at least a couple of weeks away. D77 - We have reached the end of the sixth week of flower, and everything is trucking along. It's mainly a waiting game at this point, waiting for the buds to fatten up and for the trichomes to mature. I ordered nematodes a few weeks ago and forgot to use them. I don't have a fungus gnat infestation, so it was only a preventative measure anyway. The nematodes were a couple of weeks past their use before date, so no idea if they are still viable, but I figured it is better to use them than throw them. I gave each girl 1.25-liters of nematode water @ pH 6.6, adding 25 ml of EM-1.

On day 1 I did another light defoliation. The plants are progressing as expected. The only issue I'm dealing with is fungus gnats... ugh. I will keep applying BTI weekly until the population is under control. On day 3 the plants are putting out more pistils and seem to have stopped or slowed down their "stretch" phase. On day 4 I'm starting to see some trichomes forming on the sugar leaves, no smell that I can discern yet. I also changed out my reservoir and applied a BTI soil drench. On day 5 I adjusted the PH of my reservoir down to 6.1. I also purged my blumat system to make sure there are no clogs as my reservoir has fertilizer particles due to my water heater causing separation. I must keep the water heater on as I am growing in the northeast coming into the cold time of the year and can't have my reservoir freeze on me. On day 6 I adjusted the PH of my reservoir down to 6.1. On day 7 I adjusted PH in reservoir to 6.1.

Watching these lava cakes grow is a nice privilege. Ill be pushing them 1 week longer do to a trip change. But I think things will end nicely. 2 more weeks until I start flushing.

📆 Semana 11 Maduración muy avanzada, con cogollos duros, compactos y muy resinosos. Aparecen colores finales mientras la planta consume sus reservas. Tricomas mayoritariamente lechosos, empezando a tornar ámbar, indicando una ventana de corte ya abierta. Aroma intenso y completamente definido. Actividad mínima, centrada en el acabado final. Momento clave para afinar el punto de cosecha. Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

This is mid-week four. These pictures are up-to-date taken today. I have LED light so and little other lighting on, so excuse the picture quality. I am no longer using Air, which is an iron supplement. I only used air 2 twice in Veg. Very powerful and boosts growth rate and health.

Finished her second week of flush, plan on harvesting her as soon as her pot has fully dried out. Trichomes appear mainly cloudy to the point where the buds appear white. I’ve smoked a few test buds that I took a couple of days into her flush, the taste even at that point was unreal! By far the strongest strain I’ve grown to date. Happy with how everything looks, until next time 🌱💚

I changed the lamps to 100w full spectrum 💪😍

2025-00-06 So i had to Tame my " Monstra Hermosa" because she was overgrowing the Lights /( alredy) shes in week 3 of flower, she ot a SCROG and some HST and supercropping The other Plant was harvested and i was soo sticky and lovely citrussy smelling- she reiminded me to silver haze- lots of sticky buds are curing.

23.11 Последнии неделя полторы перед харвестом Закинул семки на ночь к пузырикам с FitoPower, утром или в течение дня закину одну в easyplug другую в кокосовую таблетку. 24.11 Hola amigos Семки за ночь утонули и были высажены в easyplug и обычную кокосовую таблетку, накрыты стакашком и убраны под 20 не сильных бытовых ватта, затем им будет включена 60ватт sun2board. Немного о подготовке мин.ваты. Мат мин.ваты нарезал на кубики 1.5-5см и погрузил их в таз с водой ph5.5 и оставил напитываться на 30минут, каждые 10минут подходил смотрел пш, он был на месте. Далее заполнил 2горшка и оставил стекать всё лишнее, собственно всё.

04/02 500ml of water each pot, PH 5.82, nutrients as described into schedule 04/03 -- 04/04 -- 04/05 -- 04/06 500ml of water, PH 5.92, nutrients as described into schedule 04/07 -- 04/08 250ml of pure water each pot, PH 5.8. I've also defoliated #3 and removed dead leaves from #1 and #2

Rotated the plants 180° to separate some buds on the other side. Last defoil and waiting... Some early harvest.

6-3: The first day at a new week of flowering (Day 35 of Flowering). The girls groing very well. The buds gets bigger and bigger and I like de polyp Bud very much. :)

22/06/2025 Midday Post-recovery phase is in full swing She's showing a very vibrant soft gentle green starting to emerge. This is due to deep detoxification of the root fusion cortex; takes 3 weeks to flush in fresh clean Genetics. The fresh green which you see and perfect asymmetry on the leaves vien lines. "Everything is on tack"
