Here we begin, the germination method I use is: soak the seeds for 14h than paper towel, in the dark with a heat mat under it for around. 3-5 days. After taproots come out, I’ll plant them into organic recycled live soil and under the humidity fome they go. I keep temperatures around 24-26C humidity high at 70-80%, spray water every day in the am and at night, tap water nothing fancy. Now we wait for them to take off.

More haircuts this week! I am very aggressively trying to keep up with the canopy growth. I'm continuing to remove the small branches underneath the canopy - more or less stripping the undergrowth, while defoliating around the growth sites that have made it to the canopy surface. I'm unsure of how much more growth to wait for before I send her into flower. Maybe next week? Who knows! Not me! Hah! Happily accepting any advice from any experienced main-liners out there! 😉 She's been super thirsty - I have to add a gallon every few days to keep up! I also started adding some p31 Microbes to the reservoir to see what I can see. 😎

26.12.24: I have noticed light stress on my plants. I had moved the lights further away and increased the light intensity to 70%. Unfortunately that created some issues. Namely severe palour of the leaves. To try and rectify the situation, I've dimmed the lights to about 30%, staying at the same distance, about 30 inches away. I measured the par levels, after I did this. They should a reading of anywhere between 40 and 150, at the canopy of the plants. They are all different sizes. This seems to have improved the colouring on all plants. After this evenings watering, I will monitor recovery and increase lighting intensity again slowly. I am also using the light cycle of 21/3, so the plants have many hours more light to absorb, than for example 12/12 or 18/6. I am pleased with the progress, considering all of my mistakes! 29.12.24: So I finally gave LST a shot, it's probably a bit too late, however I really want to get the most of the triploid pheno, and I went a little crazy and LST'd all plants except 2, as they're too small. I did that late last night, this afternoon I was amazed to see the plants turn their leaves back to the light source. I'm glad I overcame my fear of trying it. I'm very excited to see them adapt and progress! 😁 there are videos above with before and after of my LST process. Thanks for checking out my diary 🍃 ✌️

Weekly update on these three. One is pretty much done and is ready to chop this week where the other two aren't far behind. The dense tight buds are pungent as can be. Definitely one that flowers super fast it seemed like and not to hard to grow. All in all Happy Growing

Hallo zusammen 🤙. Sie wächst sehr schön und macht keine Probleme.

Find out that the plants are male and female. Balls right under the female butts. So, it's easy to get rid of the male parts haha

First week in buckets doin well i think but dont know for this is just my first grow

The goblins are moving painfully slow — almost offensively slow. So they’ve been promoted to the prime spot, freshly available after harvest. In a few days it’ll be scorching hot and dry, and I’m going to nuke this grow with guano. No more patient daddy waiting for his little sweethearts to grow up.

It’s day 27 from seed for all the plants in the photo sea of green. Let’s call it the battle of the strains summer 2025. All of the plants are starting to have visible differences. I’m already starting to tell witch plants are more sensitive than others.

The Gorilla Cookies are still doing alright, but 2 of 3 are showing some lockout or deficiencies. Despite this they are still doing ok. The one that doesn’t have this issue is doing great, getting fat and greasy! They are starting to stink up my house, had to turn the fan off Auto and just keep it running non stop otherwise my entire house smells like the good good 😊 I’m not super concerned, I checked the runoff, and it wasn’t too out of wack, 6.4 ph… the leaves look like they are having some serious P and K deficiencies, but I don’t want to feed anymore as we are approaching the end of their cycle fast, and they are continuing to develop, just not as good as they could have. RH was lowered, and temps have been consistent 77-79 degrees. Watering now approx. 3 litres every 4-5 days but I expect this to slow down soon. Happy Gardening 👊🇨🇦❤️🌱

Started the first week of flowering 💚🌱

D57/FD29 - Thing going grand with the Cookies so far (enjoying growing these Cookie Based Strains). Smell from it is divine! Touch a stem and its a lovely citrus smell left on you for ages! Noted in a previous comment, like a perfect sweetness, fresh lemonade. You'd wear it as an aftershave alright even!!! :P They're drinking a ton but not taking on as much feed (as I've come to expect now in flower) so dropped the base and bloom by 10% (same recommended ratio of 1:1) and kept the PK9/18 booster in there at what would be recommended strength for this week...its the same as last week but week 1 (week 4 of flower) of PK9/18 should have been double...didn't want to overdo it as when I used recommended strength 1st time I got it, it created some serious root zone acidification (Which could have been all the K getting used up but was a mare getting the pH up from 4.something every day!!!). Did my usual root flush/wash before adding feed as the EC had crept up to 2.2 (and I know from experience, that starts messing with your numbers if you don't wash that out right) and took about 50L-60L to get the tank to 0.3EC (base is 0.2) was was a lot of salt sitting on/in the roots. Had a ton of underscreen dead leaf to pick up and just cut some wee straggly offshoots (I know, bad idea this late in flower but they were basically dead/no nutritional value left so basically a bug magnet). Still waiting on Bluelab to send me the RMA approved pH pen...been 2 weeks now since the RMA was approved and still no postage - using an "essentials" pH meter and just dipping in Calibration Fluids between each feed add to ensure some accuracy (As you can see from my recipe page, I like to know what the feed does to the pH - also gives an idea on what they're feeding on when you see pH swings in a different direction that expected). Geeklight also got back to me. In all fairness, I've been dealing with them direct (Got the light fixture from Alibaba, direct from China - big gamble, right???) and they have been more than helpful. I have been telling them about the light randomly coming on at 5% (lowest brightness) and provided evidence; turns out someone else now noticed the same issue with the Remote App controlled variant too and they believed it was a loose control board/wire. They said they did some stuff and that fixed it but I also thought mine was fixed by forcing the dimmer to 0% and it still randomly happened (even though it didn't do it for weeks) so the other person may still get a surprise!! 😋 So, I took out the driver today, pulled out the control board and all wires seemed good and no looseness in the control board (although it does look slightly bent as the Spade for the IR/UV switch isn't fully bedded in). But, like I say, in all fairness to Geeklight, they're posing me a new control board tomorrow from China AND giving me the longer driver cables so as I can put the driver outside of the tent! Give me a bit more room for my Flower Initiator (and hopefully UVB Tube) and great to see them honouring the Warranty. RHC Seems to be flowering nicely as can been seen from the pics. Stacking well, buds coming along. Slight pinkish tip to the pistils on some buds but not the shocking pink as you'd see in the sales pics...hopefully it goes there though! Also noticing a bit of an early frost on a few flowers...like real good frost! And this is only day 1 of week 5 (I know, I do this diary arse about face)!!! Hoping Geeklight get this driver control board and longer cables to me quick so as I can get the driver out of the tent as I'd really like to get the UVB in there to frost them up in a week or 2!!! May only be getting about 9" clearance though so dunno, could be dangerous!!! 12" is the lowest recommended...but then, I could do the 15 min burst lighting (On 15, off 45 min every hour) so lower the risk of burn but get them more exposure (but lowers the lifetime of the tube). They get UVA from the LED's on the light at the moment for a 1/3 of the day and have been since early veg so should be hardened to it by now!!! Anyway, think that's enough s**te chatted by me!!! Happy growing all!!! 💪

Power House of a plant! It just won't stop growing

02/01/2021 Going to sprout my last 2 Bluedreamatic seeds from (fast buds). Will be sprouting in mini greenhouse on heat mat. Once seedlings are ready they will be moved under 1000w MH for veg and flowering. 10+hours later they are on bottom of water and time for paper towels in baggie. 02/03/2021 1 seed sprouted and I dropped the other in soil 🙏 I hope because it disappeared! So got at least one Bluedreamatic on the way hoping to see other one sprout in mixing tray. 02/05/2021 She's above ground! Day #1 , currently under 150w compact flourecent 3 way bulb when first true leaves form (Not single finger let)I will start veg cycle under 1000w MH see you in 3-4 days for weekly update. topped seedling pot with vermiculite 1/2-3/4 inches leaving the cotdtyledons 1/2-3/4 inches above surface. Roots should fill up this container quickly, moved under1000w MH light for vegging. Seedling is 3-4 ft away from light but also off to the side no serious heat just about room temperature. I could not feel heat from light where I put seedling, comfortable on your skin is good for plants. 02/11/2021 It's day #6 above the soil, she is doing well already grown 2" above where I topped with vermiculite. At lights out I put her in humidity dome with my tomato seedlings main area of grow gets very cool at night,so I try to keep her at a better temp 72°f.

Like the other strain, I believe all three autos will be coming down at about the same time.My dad pointed out all their pistons, turned amber, and we normally go based off of that.And the flower size and the amount of water that they are drinking. Typically, a plant will drink less water in the last two weeks of life.Letting you know that it's starting to die. This was the auto that was just going to keep going.And keep making white hairs without stop.So we're gonna harvest now. Hopefully, this plant would be ready to sample when I return My dad sent me a video showing that the plant is getting so heavy that it can't support itself anymore.Normally, it would be supported by little plastic triangles. Because I started that plant, all I did was do one or two men and let them perform

Good week

Woche 6 – Die Blüte beginnt! 🌸🍋🍒 Diese Woche hat meine Lemon Cherry Cookies offiziell die Blüte eingeleitet. Nach einer kräftigen Vegetationsphase habe ich mich für ein etwas ungewöhnlicheres Training entschieden und die Pflanze spiralförmig um den Topf geführt. Ziel dabei ist es, möglichst viele Triebe auf eine Höhe zu bringen und gleichzeitig die Mitte der Pflanze zu öffnen. Durch dieses Training entstehen aktuell drei dominante Haupttriebe im Zentrum, die später hoffentlich zu einem massiven Hauptbud zusammenwachsen. Gleichzeitig erhalten die unteren Seitentriebe deutlich mehr Licht, wodurch die gesamte Pflanze gleichmäßiger wachsen kann. Die Lemon Cherry Cookies hat das Training hervorragend verkraftet und zeigt keinerlei Anzeichen von Stress. Das neue Wachstum ist kräftig, die Blätter stehen gesund und die ersten Blütenansätze sind bereits deutlich sichtbar. Bis jetzt entwickelt sie sich zu einer sehr kompakten und buschigen Dame mit kurzen Internodien und einer ausgezeichneten Struktur für die kommende Blütephase. Jetzt beginnt die spannende Zeit und ich freue mich darauf zu sehen, wie sich die Spiral-Technik in den nächsten Wochen auf die Budentwicklung auswirken wird. 🍋 Cherry trifft auf Lemon – und die Reise hat gerade erst begonnen. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Week 6 – Flowering Has Begun! 🌸🍋🍒 This week my Lemon Cherry Cookies officially entered the flowering stage. After a strong vegetative growth phase, I decided to try a slightly different training technique by guiding the plant into a spiral shape around the pot. The goal is to create an even canopy while opening up the center of the plant. This should allow more light to reach all growth sites and encourage stronger development throughout the entire structure. The spiral training has already resulted in three dominant central tops that I hope will eventually develop into one massive flower cluster. At the same time, the lower branches are receiving much better light exposure and are catching up nicely. The plant handled the training exceptionally well and shows no signs of stress. Growth remains vigorous, leaves are healthy, and the first flower sites are becoming clearly visible. So far she is developing into a compact and bushy lady with short internodal spacing and an excellent structure for the flowering phase ahead. Now the exciting part begins, and I'm looking forward to seeing how this spiral training technique influences bud development over the coming weeks. 🍋🍒 Lemon meets Cherry — and the adventure is only getting started. 🚀🌱
