Fresh Batch Of Cookies !!

[Leafneck 3,090]

@Mimicker topped 6 last night, leaving 1 blueberry and 1 ogc untopped for comparison for future reference for others.

They have taken to the finals very well, I'm currently feeding out the Wilma system too, for the 1st 10 days or so they get a 15 minute drip feed (approx 5 litre each) then I leave it around 36-48 hours before the next feed. I've found if you let the roots go searching you get alot more roots along the wall of the pot where as with my last grow all my roots was at the very bottom of pot , more roots more fruits. 

 

I'll tackle any height issues alot earlier, 600w on all 3 hps too so I'm expecting alot from this grow now 

 

Update due Saturday.

Always nice to leave one or 2 untopped, be a very cool comparison to see 

 

I'll keep a look out for your next update mate

 

All the best

Great growth, I've not been measuring temps as my Bluetooth thermometer has no battery, but I'll correct that ASAP. Plants have looked a tad droopy the last 48 hours but stand alot prouder after 6 hours darkness. 

 

Tonight I've put the 1.5m tube heater in the middle of pots to help root temps at lights out along with the rad box. 

 

Feeding every 24 hours now, 

 

I'll have to look at previous page to confirm age but I'm sure the weekend will be the 4th week of veg. I'm happy to flip any time after Sunday, I shall measure the plants height and work out the estimated stretch.

I seem to be having trouble uploading pictures to my gallery 

 

Just flipped the girls 

[Leafneck 3,090]

Flipping today,
Not really monitored temps on this grow but alot of purple veins on leaves and branches so guessing lights out is still a touch chilly. 

 

Shortest plant is 52cm
Tallest plant is 70 cm

As you can see from pics they all are around the 55cm mark apart from that one tall girl. 

 

I'll update this at end of week 3 of flower when stretch is complete using the same 2 plants I measured for any future cookie grower reference.

 

All seems very well and this has been my most relaxed grow yet.

 

I think it was smokebelch who had 1 OGC react weird to silica? None of my 6 have anything weird going on, incase anyone is reading into that before purchasing some ogc.

 

Week 1 of flower I'm doing 1 feed per 24 hour for the 1st week on 409w hps.

2nd week I'll go 2 feeds per 24hours and turn up to 600w for remaining weeks.

 

Using the yellow bottle bloom feed again with this chart. (the nutes are based on 100 litre as I can work out how much more nutes I need to suit the litres in my res, ie.. This week I have 140 litres so I'll x1. 4)

 

Couple leaves have like a slight bleaching, I'm not concerned as its not getting worse.

Just the type of info we need buddy

 

Be interesting to see the heights after the stretch is complete

Is 409w a typo mate? And should be 400w?

 

All the best 

 

Mark..

[Leafneck 3,090]

Yes typo mark, 400w * from what I've read the ogc hasn't got a massive stretch.. Learning from my last 2 grows ill be supercropping to keep as even crop as I can, tying down if needed. 

 

I'm hoping for one hell of a flower show mark mate

I thought it was a typo mate

 

Buckle up its going to get real interesting and fast 

 

OGC, very easy to manage in bloom buddy. You've got this no issue 

 

All the best

[Leafneck 3,090]

Looking forward to it mark, Im enjoying this one the most! What's the blueberry cookies like for stretch? I've got those 2 next to the tall OGC so a it more stretch than the others shouldn't be an issue! 

 

Already looking what to do next

 

 

[Leafneck 3,090]

1st week of flower done Sunday but I got a busy weekend so doing my weekly update now. I've also paid to become a subscriber so better photos for the flower show! 

 

1st things 1st 

 

Tallest girl is now 78cm 

Shortest girl is 59cm 

 

Had a good defoilation in the room to allow branches to stretch towards top of canopy, I know alot of people won't pick leaves but I for one with my own experience use this method and alot of potential bud sites are now baking under the hps! 

 

I will be turning the ballasts to 600w Sunday, a big super crop and some tying down where its needed. My ideal height I'm going to try keep at is 1m from top of pot.

Nothing to excessive with the BBC stretch mate. 1.5-2x max

 

Easily manageable buddy 

 

So far so good, time's coming to really start to bloom

 

All the best

Little co*k up I've just realised I've done. 

 

I have my contactor box timer (box the lights are plugged into) set at lights on from 8pm to 8am and off for the other 12 hours. 

 

Did my res change at 7pm yesterday so I knocked 2 of my hps lights off on the box and left the one on and turned the timer to the setting where the power stays on Constant instead of timer settings... 

 

Guess who forgot to knock the switch back to the timer settings 

 

So when the lights are supposed to go off at 8am this morning they are still on.. 

 

I'll be home at 4:30 to turn it back to normal setting... They will only have around 3 and half hours lights out time tho. 

 

Will I have upset the ladies much? 

 

I wanted to do a big defoilation and super crop tonight too... Shall I leave it? 

[Leafneck 3,090]

this is how I left my groom since last night. 

 

I'm going to take that forgetful mistake as a blessing because look at how my 12/12 timer was set  look at 5:45 and It was more 11:30/12:30. 

Think I had 1 too many dark fruits when I flipped the girls

 

Reacon I'm OK to do a bit of supercropping and defoilation at 9pm?

Ive never experienced or can recall hearing any herms from dinafem seeds, their breeders obviously do proper stress testing so I wouldn't worry.  Having said that these are newer crosses that derive from some of the hipster U.S cultivars, so potentially more prone...  

 

Nice grow, I like the bodging. Can't help but think grows must cost you alot with all that fancy hydro shop additives etc though?
