ITS PERFECT. OMG...AND WE CAN DO A MONTEL GROW AND HE CAN DO A SHOW NEXT ON MONTEL, REVA, WHAT WENT WRONG?? 5/1 5AM **Hell yeah, that’s the kind of late-night (or early-morning) epiphany we love.** Dr Pepper + peanut butter cookies sounds like a wild, sweet-salty, cherry-cola spiced twist. The 🌿😂 makes total sense—some of the best flavor combos hit when you’re relaxed and creative. ### How to actually make Dr Pepper flavor work in cookies Dr Pepper’s profile (cherry, vanilla, warm spices, cola bite) needs concentration so it doesn’t just evaporate or make the dough too wet. Here are practical ways: 1. **Reduction/Syrup** (best for strong flavor) Simmer 2 cups Dr Pepper in a saucepan over medium heat until it reduces by half (about 1 cup). It’ll get syrupy and concentrated. Let it cool. Use ¼–⅓ cup in your peanut butter cookie dough in place of some sugar or liquid. This gives real Dr Pepper taste without watering it down. 2. **Simple cake-mix hack** (super easy starter) Mix a chocolate or vanilla cake mix with 6–8 oz Dr Pepper + peanut butter. People make 2-ingredient Dr Pepper cookies this way—add ½ cup creamy peanut butter to the batter for your twist. Fold in chopped peanuts or a swirl of extra PB. 3. **From-scratch peanut butter cookie base + Dr Pepper** Start with a classic PB cookie (butter, peanut butter, sugars, egg, flour, baking soda/soda, vanilla, salt). - Replace some brown sugar with the Dr Pepper reduction. - Add 1–2 tsp vanilla + a pinch of cinnamon or allspice to echo the soda’s spices. - Optional: a few drops of cherry or almond extract to amp the Dr Pepper notes. ### Quick test recipe idea (Dr Pepper PB Cookies) - ½ cup butter, softened - ½ cup creamy peanut butter - ½ cup brown sugar + ¼ cup Dr Pepper reduction (from above) - 1 egg - 1 tsp vanilla - 1¼ cups flour - ½ tsp baking soda - Pinch salt + optional cinnamon Cream butter + PB + sugars/reduction. Add egg + vanilla. Mix in dry ingredients. Chill dough 30 min. Bake at 350°F for 10–12 min. They’ll spread a bit and get chewy with that cola kick. **Pro tips**: - Reduction is key—plain Dr Pepper in dough usually bakes off too much. - If you want stronger flavor, look for Dr Pepper extract/flavoring online (some baking sites sell “Dr Soda” type). - Top with a light glaze: powdered sugar + a splash of Dr Pepper reduction. Go make a small test batch with what you have. Report back how it turns out—I’m genuinely curious if the cherry-cola + peanut butter hits as good as it sounds in your head. What’s the vibe you’re going for—chewy, crunchy, or fudgy? Got any other flavors you wanna mash in? Let’s refine this masterpiece. 🌿🍪 5/1 7AM 1.5EC 6.0 pH 2 liters each Maxi Bloom powder only. 5/6 5 AM AC 1.078 pH 6 light runoff today 5/17 12:45AM having trouble setting my theme music for dramatic entrances in EVERY room, EVERY SINGLE TIME.....

overall Garden is looking great didn't look that great after Hurricane Florence's aftermath on the northern states

Lots of growth this week and working to solve the humidity issues. I think it's probably because of the size of my pots but these girls just won't stop growing! I think I'm going to have to consider some defoliation for her next week. I noticed some rust spots on some of the leaves this week, I'm fairly certain that it's down to the humidity. Where leaves were gathering condensation they seem to have discoloured, probably because of magnifying the light - I'm just a beginner though so I'm happy for other people's opinions. I've kept feeding her a little bloom every couple of days, there was a little bit of yellowing to the tips of some leaves which I though could be down to nute burn but I'm not too worried about it at the moment. I think this plant has overtaken the Jack Herer now, she seems to be flowering a lot more. She smells divine - really strong citrus notes, I think she's going to be tasty! To fix the humidity issues I diverted the extraction duct to another room which seems to have made a big difference, RH is now consistently under 57% and usually around 55% - still not ideal but I don't think I'll get it much lower. I've moved the fan so that there's plenty of air moving over the canopy - hopefully enough to keep away the mould as the grow progresses.

È appena cominciata la 3°settimana, le mie bimbe crescono molto bene😍.. A breve comincerò con LST! Aggiornamento: Ieri sera ho effettuato topping su tutte e tre le piantine, in giornata inizierò LST per riuscire ad esporre il più possibile alla luce le foglie tra gli internodi! Ultimo aggiornamento: Ormai e quasi finita anche la 3°settimana, ho iniziato LST da un paio di giorni, ho notato che le prime foglioline presentano delle piccole macchie marroni ma credo che sia normale considerando che si tratta delle foglie più vecchie.. Per il resto le piantine sembrano in ottima salute!💪

gorilla is fading out well still putting weight on and getting super frosty stinking like mad . been removing the most yellow leaves as they fade and shes just been on water going to mix 1g of bactrex into 1l of water to finish her of then just water again looking within next few week for sure not much else to say thanks for reading happy growing guys

Girl Scout Cookies Auto was suddenly ready to get chopped - I would've like to see a few more amber trichomes, but the fan leaves started yellowing faster, and more sugar leaves got crispy tips. Also, the smell got pretty strong over the last week or so. It was a very nice grow, and I'm curious on the yield and effect after drying and curing. Yuhbar Auto still needs a little more time, and will enjoy a few more days or weeks under the (artificial) sun, giving the trichomes more time to ripen.

Had big fires and power outages lately. The first big power outage seemed to put the og in flower and the second to both of the NLs. Learning a lot! Got a good humidifier that will hold stat. It was always 15% or lately a few times, 100%. Don't want either of those too long. Got a new pump watering can with 4L capacity, which is much better than the family cookware. Had to trim the bottom leaves of one of the NLs due to lack of sustanance, which i didn't want to but looks good now. Went to 18 hours light, like the call. Added a lil 30 watt LED grow fixture for fun. Got a new floor fan and added one to the ceiling. Around 300 Watts at full blast. I like growing such challenging beauties. Now just wondering if i should dry in this tent. I might have to.

The Jedi came down at 11 weeks. The other blackberry came down at 8.5 weeks, for a total production of 2.5zips plus 7.5 zips. I've had to estimate the Jedi at the moment, there was 1050 gm wet weight of trimmed bud on minimal stem. I would expect the dry weight to be 21% of that but I will update the numbers next week. She is a spacious plant and very branchy but you can continually trim branches as you defoliate throughout the grow, she responds well to both. Floats like a butterfly and hits like a steam train. It's been over two weeks since the Blackberry was harvested and she's all gone now, never even got a chance to dry properly. Basically she kept me going while waiting for this Jedi, who I already knew was going to be soaking with resin. I was hoping for 8 zips total with 4 for each plant but I ended up only getting 2.5 on the blackberry but I got an easy 7.5 of mostly grade a bud so a total of 10 zip for both plants in the same pot. They were expected to mature together but the black berry was a week or so early, so as you can see in the root shots her roots had died and made the Jedi roots rot as well but this shows you the resiiance of the Shallow Water Culture as I do it because of added redundancy, I could not even tell there was a root problem didn't after the Jedi at all but it's good to be away of, I'm back to single pots for a while now.

Problem with ec too much inflush a Little

I did an extended vegetation on these girls and I topped them a couple of times, to which they responded well. It is day 127 (18 weeks total), but only end of Week four of flowering. They are looking beautiful and very nice size, considering they are only about half way through flowering.

unfortunately the week didn't go as planned. i discovered mouldy spots on her and decided to harvest part of her earlier. the mould hadn't progressed that far yet, so it wasn't a huge loss. i harvested a total of 101g wet. let's see what the rest of the plant will bring on the scales? from the state of flowering she will certainly need another good 2-3 weeks or even longer, let's see. but she coped well with the partial harvest.

Gorilla zkittles occupy the middle back between the two nets. It's growing beautifully and roots have definitely established. Flip will occur soon in the coming days.

Everything looking good so far solo cup for another Week or two I think

Ok

This was a fun plant to grow. The trichome production was amazing and the last couple weeks she really packed on the weight. The trichomes changed from clear to milky to amber a lot quicker than I anticipated. However I had started my flush 2 weeks prior so everything seems to be top notch. I water cured a small amount and the high is GREAT!

This week was bad super bad super bummed out she got lockd out you win some you lose some it's all good learn from me that is gonna hurt my yield real bad

I did not top this girl, yet. Her top lowers started catching up to the top so I didn’t want to stop her yet lol. But all in all she’s looking healthy.

Hello Growers. This week was a good flowering week for this runtz. It still is going strong, smelling really nice. I hope this one will be ready in a few weeks! See you next week. Elegantbuds (IG: Elegantbuds420)
