Space Cookies is new strain by Paradise Seeds - 60/40 indica/sativa.
I had five seeds, and all five germinated successfully.
Growth was great, but I infected my tent with spider mites, so that slowed them down a bit but they did not stop.
I fought the mites with Neem, Pyrethrum, and Diamotatious Earth (the latter finally got rid of them).
I found the effect or the bud great from late afternoon onwards when I could start to wind down.
Buds are very tight as you would expect from a GSC cross.
Tip: the longer the cure, the sweeter her pine taste becomes!
Growing wise, very easy. Keep feed on the medium strength side, ie, not too hot.
Easy to train although I did top them which slows a plants vertical growth a bit.
I took a lot of clones, and they produced nice plants. Possible to monster-crop in week 4 of flowering I found.
I used this gifted Greenhouse Feeding as a buffering feed to the media. I think it worked fine for this purpose for me. Not sure how to work with the powder to be honest. If you put too much in when transplanting, you're fucked, meaning, I have found it really easy to over fertilize with powder feedings, and removing it is a bitch.
Flushing it out is risky if the plant is small in a large pot (ie, just been transplanted), and that's the exact time you'd know if you've over-fertilized and needed to flush it out or not. Maybe good with plants that you know very well and know how much they eat, but winging it on the fly with new-to-you genetics will be a finger in the air guestimate.
Privileged to be gifted a new strain from Paradise Seeds: Space Cookies. Popped on 4/20 and the experience of growing her (bar a few landlord entrances) was awesome.
Stand out feature is very long joined up buddy-colas. Epic. Great for LSTing, topping, SCROGing. Loves to be trained. Takes a medium amount of feed as I burnt them a little with too much.
Very good yield, as you would think from those long joined up cola. I will defo grow again, although I think I have quite enough to be carrying me through for quite a while!!!! :-)
Happy Growing everyone!0
What effect does heat/cold have on roots & above ground? So, what effect should I see in the roots and above ground growth with substrate temps at 90f, 85f, 80f, 75f, 70f, 65f, 60f, 55f, 50f, 45f, 40f?
Hey there so extreme cold will slow your plant growth ans can eventually kill the plant especially at freezing temps. I see the plants are partly outdoors partying with the tomatoes which lucky are much like cannabis, at this stage if you can keep temps between 70-85 with good humidity thats best, but even if you went down into the higher 60s that's ok too, with slightly cooler night temps. If your substrate can stay above 60 it'll discourage mold and other things. The plants and tomatoes are looking good. :) oh also a lot of your plants leaves look like they're "praying" which is a good thing. I think things are coming along great.
Have a look the leaf photo's in Week 12 and tell me what excess/deficiency you see. I think it is a Magnesium deficiency but I'm far from sure. The leaves effected are mainly middle of the plant fan leaves or lower fan leaves on the cola's.
Hi Shaggy. Looks like textbook calcium deficiency. Magnesium looks interveinal chlososis, calcium shows up as brown spots on leaves affected. The requirement and deficieny signs with calcium can be weeks apart meaning your middle leaves needed calcium 2 weeks ago and because it’s not a mobile nutrient as the leaves grow your requirements of calcium or not met hence the spots. Now that you’re adding “cal mag” you shouldn’t have anymore issues. (Calcium is required at 6% magnesium 2% each feed) hope that clears it up for you ;)
