Hello-hello and welcome to Week 4 of Bloom with Space Cookies. The squat beast! Here's the Deets on a great week:
The Good:
-Just like Dutchy, Space Cookies is blowing up wonderfully. She is super thick and stacking up far better then I would have expected this early on into Bloom (8-9 week projected bloom). Her potential is there and I see great things in the near future. This little one will put out and her product already looks right up my alley. I can see why people contacted me, telling me this was a great strain. It's been the easiest to grow so far, has given me the least problems and is still the strongest girl in the tent (in my mind).
-Daily/Semi-daily feeds are kicking ass. They want for nothing and there has been zero negative reactions since I started this new regiment. Again, it takes me more time and planning, but it's totally worth it as all my previous feeding/nutrient problems have not returned since I've started doing this. Wonderbar!๐
The Bad:
-Nope๐
The 'Meh':
-Space issues still. Some over lapping fans, but no more sweating. Still working daily to defo small, key fans blocking lower end progression/growth. Had some lime green laterals being blocked out, but with a rotation and a lighting adjustment, those laterals are now moving quick๐
-Dick all else to report! Happy, happy!
Notes of the Week:
-Huge potential being seen with Space Cookies, Dutchy and PSK. They're bulking up very quickly and their cola stacks are going to be thick. Granddaddy Bruce is still behind in my mind. She's moving well but is clearly being outpaced by her counterparts. Hoping she kicks it up a notch soon here. We shall see.
-For consistency sake, I've cut out Flora-licious from GHE and have moved to 'Liquid Weight' by Green Planet. Half doses have started on all girls and they have been taking it very well without issue. Since the first application, they have been moving a tad quicker and I will be applying LW from here on out. (Smells really bad though, lol)
-All girls have tapped out now and the stretch is officially over. Have some extra space just in case, but I feel they're done their big push.
-Getting smelly! Lots of different terpenes making their presence now and it's a treat. Lot's of Caryophyllene, but PSK is getting fruity (?). Didn't expect it, but I love ocimene, sooooo, bring it on๐
-Curious to see what colors, if any, I can pull out of these girls. It's quite warm in my location now and due to power issues, I can't use an AC unit. At night, I can drop as low as 19 degrees, but that's about it. I love my late Bloom coloring's and I'm hoping I get to see a bit of a show, regardless of the warmer weather.
-Looking to finally drop the Blurple light and will be contacting some manufactures to find another SF-2000 or a direct equivalent (or as close as possible). I want to complete my footprint with quantum's and also save myself a couple Watts. Soon, I may be receiving a second 4x4x6'7" Mammoth unit from a friend who is moving and doesn't know if he will be able to grow in his new location (bylaws and such). IF this happens, I can FINALLY expand my operation and get into more projects. Want to do an auto run, an SOG run, a 1-2 plant SCROG run and on and on and on... I have 5 years worth of plans in my head, it's now time to start executing them. The unit I may be able to purchase off of him will be an HPS/MH, 600-800W system and I think it would be nice to grow the "old" fashion way for the first time๐.
Another short entry (for me). What's going on! Haha. Things are going great and I don't have much to do but feed them and watch them grow. Kinda boring, but very happy to see them doing so well. This is the THIRD week in a row I haven't had issues with the girls and I couldn't be happier. Thanks all for stopping by and seeing this little Hulk of a girl. I wish you the best with your projects and I hope you have a stellar week. Much love and cheers to you all. See you around!๐โ
Reflection of your Handlings are the best ways to pervent new issues.. well done.
You found your mistakes and thats very good
again a lesson learned,,, and beleive me... more to come^^... hahaha
srtay healthy and have fun with the ladies
@Mrs_Larimar, Haha, thanks for the support! Still learning for sure. Maybe in ten years I'll have a good handle on it๐.
Ohhhhh there will be more issues, I don't doubt that, lol๐ . But with every mistake, I understand more and more.
I hope you have a wonderful week aswell and that you and yours are happy and healthy.๐. Cheers Mrs_Larimar๐
@Mrs_Larimar, I swear, everytime I sit down to write these I tell myself to keep them short. Then 25 min goes by and I've written another novel ๐ .
I guess my definition of short is when my fingers get tired and I stop. Hahaha
I love your comments i was laughing out lout whn you mentrioned, that abiology/chemistry course may would have been better.... and the funniest thing was your " typing aloud"......
I got to admit that iam typing sometimes without real thinking ......and if i read week later my comments .. iam asking myself if i have written this....
Its kinda Intuitive writing.. or maybe iam just he channel for some ____ "weed force"
And no... i am not smoking and writing... its my mind that works that way... I dont need weed for " weired thoughts"
@Mrs_Larimar, Hahaha. I'm glad you got a laugh out of it. I too, was not high when I typed that and we may have the same weird thinking๐ . Not a bad thing at all! When looking back at what we wrote, it does seem foreign and sometimes I think to myself "Where'd that come from...I might be a weirdo". LOL! Cheers Mrs_Larimar!๐
@JinksyGrows, thanks man, quarantine time got us haha but weโre very excited. Iโll definitely throw any info you want your way, spend most my time on forums and reddit.
@DeepRootGrows, omg man! Cool! Congratulations on the new little one๐๐. Thanks for sharing that๐.
And also cool! If you start breeding I'd love to follow along. I've been reading about it too but don't have the space yet. Also need to move, haha. If you have any solid links and info for me to read, please don't hesitate to send me them in PM!!
@JinksyGrows, Iโll be moving to a bigger house the end of this year (got 2nd kiddo baking in the oven) and once I get more room Iโm gonna be getting a bigger tent for more strains and then use my small two I have now to dip my toes in plant breeding. Been doing lots of research lately.
@Mrs_Larimar, Omg๐คญ. Just realized you and @silky_smooth placed too! I wasn't paying attention ๐ . Congrats grow girls!!!! I'm in great company โบ๏ธ๐
I also heard these bags are like 550 for you over there!?! Crazy! 350 CDN for me๐ฌ. Really happy you won. Die happy Silky ๐ ๐
Looking happy and frosty ๐ might need to start building a second cupboard soon ๐
Do you use syringes to extract vol of nutrients directly from each bottle? I'm trying to find an effective manageable way to extract liquids when the bottles are running low ๐
@HazeyBobby, I don't have much going on, so I obsess over the plants ๐ . Going back to work very soon, so I probably won't be able to keep it up. Really not necessary ๐.
@ROM101, No doubt man. I was all panicked and such, but only took 5 days to bounce back this quick. Keep forgetting cannabis is versatile as all hell. And ya, was really happy with all the reviews on green planet. Plus these guys are quite close to me and have hydro shops throughout BC Canada, long before their nutrient lines. Very interesting story and very passionate guys. Farmers love them, and that's a great sign of quality, imo๐. To
I have vitathrive, rezin, liquid weight and massive bloom as additives. Do you suggest any other additions (besides humic acid)?
There are hustlers in any setting. These guys may be proโs pretending to be nubes. Several idโs just pumping up activities. I have no idea what they are after.
Just go with people and things that enrich your life.
Cheers.
@Med_in_Tropic, In a lot of ways I have so much growing up to do. That includes understanding when I'm being used and/or abused. Also don't know how to say "No". That's not working out too well for me, haha!๐ After I wrote that, I see my end in all of this. Wouldn't have happened if I set boundaries, and something I'll need to learn to do asap. I also need to complain less and just go with the flow...
Retrospective thinking is fun!...๐ฌ Thanks for your kind words and advice Med. I'll take it to heart.
I know what you are talking about, if you talk about the Guy who just want s help . but does not implement any advise you give
and its the right decision to say NO.
Dear Jinxy.....not every person is so receptice and reflective as you are------You were a great Student
These Person got a huge EGO but no self esteem..If they say. "I now what I do....."..........I just say: Ok do what you know... Happy growing
@Mrs_Larimar, I probably shouldn't have wrote that when I was mad... I'm much calmer about it now but was just so frustrated and no one to tell, but you folks.
I have let him go now, but I feel so bad for his girls. All twelve he's touched have suffered greatly ๐. I know they're just plants but it hurts to watch.
Unfortunately, this whole thing showed some true colors of my friend... Like Med said, he hustled me, I know that now, but unsure about our relationship. Lol, I'm talking like this is group therapy...๐
Anywho! I'm good. Thank you for your positive affirmations ๐. I will be editing out some "anger" from this entry. I want the message to stand but I'd like to be more civil, lest I stoop to their level
These temperature swings are in Europe too ( could be we live in the same World^^?)
and Master Jinks,,,, ( bow).... very well done... and if you think your setup is ready,,, hahaha believe me you are never ready to change the setup.... but you have now good parameters and your new Light is a Huuuge step).......i can see you setting up another tent^^
,,,,,,,or maybe a growroom
would be the most logic thing
however,,, stay healthy my canadian Growmie
@Mrs_Larimar, Lol, you're right. It'll never be perfect in my mind and I'll keep refining๐ . A grow ROOM would be perfect. If I find a location where they'll allow me to DIY my own set-up, I'd be rockin๐.
You stay healthy too my German friend. And oh ya! Same world, damn weather, hahaha.
@HazeyBobby, Thanks Hazey! Great cola potential for sure๐. Feel she may be the thickest lady by end game. I like her leaves too and hoping for some colors near the end. Fingers crossed๐
@DeepRootGrows, Ha! I'm close! Haha. Thanks man๐. I definitely can't complain. Things are better now then they've been from the beginning ๐. Happy days๐
@Mrs_Larimar, I'm super stoked with how well this is going. I trusted you and glad I did๐. Just like I said in the entry, I'm very comfortable with this now and feel like I have a good handle. Thought it might take weeks, but patience (as you said!) Paid off. Two weeks now, zero problems. Haven't been able to say that once with this grow๐. I'm happy and their happy! Thank you so much!โ
if you look at my face, when i look at the Pictures. You only see me smiling. I only see happy healthy Plants. I hope your Powersupply is going to be stable again-
Iam so happy that girls are sooo fine
@Mrs_Larimar, Thanks so much dudette๐. I think they're smiling too! Your advice was amazing and things are sooo much better! Cheers and Ty very, very much (once again๐).
