Cookies & SourD auto/ Dinafem
Early Fall indoor auto grow
Seed directly into soil. Watered with PH6.56. Leaving lights on until it sprouts, the. Switch to 18hrs on. I placed domes to contain moisture. Coco temp was 30C and humidity at top of tent was 68%. I added 6 Tbsp of calcium (fine grinds egg shells) with 6 big scoops of the small garden shovel (not sure exact measurement. Followed by 4-4-4 and 2-8-4, perlite.

Day: 98
Harvested the sour D and did a bit of wet trim. Left much of the smaller leaves to slow down drying and tent is reading 20 C and 50% Rh after 45 mins after hanging. Put a small fan on the floor on low to circulate air. Will re-evaluate if a humidifier is needed. Also sanitized the whole grow room before hanging

mku7tr4 Damn looking good!
frostykief Thank you but it’s been a very rough grow. This is supposed to be 65day strain and it’s been so stressed from going organic and having to switch to synthetic I’m surprised it’s survived and putting out nice decent nugs. It’s my first indoor grow. Thx for the support
mku7tr4 Yeah after reading that this is quite impressive. I’ll be following to see how she ends!

This update is for day 66. Had no time. Watered 2.5 Galling with 3 Tbsp molasses at 6.30 I think I stopped the diesel from getting worse now. Plucked a bunch of dead leaves from both. More from cookies

More deficiency with sour D . Cookies looking better I think. Watered with 6.6 PH and light watering for sour D

Day: 61
Top dressed sour D with only 3 Tbsp of 2-8-4 since the flush probably washed away most nutrients Watered with 2 L of 6.45 PH Expecting a bit of drooping since I watered yesterday and it was still wet

Day: 60
Noticing a deficiency in sour D. Nothing seems to work with the cookies so I’m lost and trying anything right now. Earlier this morning I foliar sprayed with lights off with 2 teaspoons kelp meal in 1L of water but didn’t use much. Boiled half a frozen banana in 1 3/4 cups of water and it’s PH balanced itself 6.25 in 1.15L of water. Gave that to both plants. I split it 50/50 between sour D and cookies Lastly I had to add a bit more water to the pots cuz it wasn’t enough. So ph’d it to 6.46 gave them another 2L approx each with minimal run-off

Re-ajusted LST for more light penetration and airflow. Hard to tell if it’s doing better or worse. Also moved a fan from below to up top in the tent.

FrostyKief It’s definitely getting more yellow. Ugh idk what’s going on, flushes it, foliar sprayed with compost tea, only gave 6.0 PH water, used cal-mag 3 times, re-amended the soil. This ones a PITA
Day: 57
Watered with cal-mag 5.86 PH. Leaves on cookies are more yellow
4 years ago
Day: 55
Cookies looks a bit more yellow. Decided to top dress with 1 Tbsp/gallon (3) of only 2-8-4. Perhaps the flush rinsed out the fertilizer. Watered with leftover compost tea at 5.95 PH . Stripped about 20 leaves that were yellowing and or became in the way

Day: 53
Watered with compost tea until 10% runoff. Cookies is really droopy from the flush and sour D is super resilient.

Foliar sprayed with compost tea while lights off. Ajusted a few LST cookies looks to be coming back into range

Day: 50
Hard to say if it’s doing better. Sour D leaves are not as clawed as yesterday and cookies leaves are minimally better. Brought them up in the tub and ran 5 gallon bucket ph water to 6.0 and added cal-mag. PH run off was 6.87(cookies) and 7.19 sour D.... Started a compost tea. And I’ll foliar spray to bypass the lock-out.

ironmannichi You have done an amazing job to bring back the nitrogen deficiency back in such a small period of time!! Very impressive grow!!
Day: 49
Plants are not doing well. Watered with 15/20% run off to rinse the medium out. I can ph the water going in at 6.08 and measured run off of cookies at 6.89 and sour d 7.10. Water had 38ML of cal-mag and 2tbsp molasses in 5gl bucket. Used all of it.

Day: 46
Pots dried out properly. Went to hydro store and picked up cal-mag and I noticed the plant progressing worse. Used the new premium PH meter. Calibrated and mixed in cal-mag at 6.08 PH. Used about 5 L of water between both plants cookies got more due to its stage. Cookies wasn’t as droopy and diesel showing early signs of deficiency
4 years ago
FrostyKief Used 2ML per litre of cal-mag
Day: 45
No watering today, pots still a bit damp. Will wait til tmr for another heavy watering as cookies is showing signs of calcium deficiency. Will pick up cal-mag from hydro store tomorrow Temps still in range

Day: 44
Well the cookies is not doing much worse after the 1 flush. Sour D is really taking off with flower. Fabric both still retaining lots of water from yesterday heavy watering. Have 2 fans circulating air Temps is 25.5C and humidity a bit higher cuz of heavy watering at 60% Adjusted both LST slightly.

Day: 43
Deficiency appears to be progressing on cookies. Decided to calibrate the PH pen again and watered 6.0 with run off. Cookies showed 7.00 and sour D 7.20. Will give the norm 2-3 days to dry out and keep watering at exactly 6.0. Temps are 24.6 and 52%

Day: 42
Temps 24.4 53% humidity. Found a possible nat in my sticky traps up high. I had removed them when I top fed. So I placed fresh ones down. Noticing the cookies is very slow to produce any growth. I also see a deficiency but not sure what it is.i also gave a light water as pots felt dry. 1L each.

Made a few changes today. Decided to top dress sour D with 50/50 2-8-4 & 4-4-4 @1tbsp Each per gal (3) . ***added another 3tbsp of just 4-4-4 to cookies. Watered a bit again just to get top dressing to root zone at PH 6.3 Re-ajusted all LST. Cookies left and sour D right. Sour D is coming along nicely

FrostyKief 3 rd pic is sour d
Day: 37
Sour D appears more advanced with pre-flowers. Did more LST to spread the cookies apart since it’s so bushy and used tray. Did the same with sour D. Opened up a vent at the bottom of tent for more airflow and turned up the ventilation. Temps 26.3 and 50%.

**Didn’t have time to snap a picture before leaving for work so it will be a picture of yesterday just for the sake of update.** I did top dress on ONLY cookies with 3 Tbsp 2-8-4 and 1tbsp 4-4-4 and 12 Tbsp worm castings and watered both plants with 6.04 PH (added 2 Tbsp black strap molasses) in the 4L ph water. Hopefully it can stretch more as it’s still really bushy and squat Temps are 26.6C and 50% humidity

Day: 35
Ajusted LST. Removed about 10 leaves that were blocking light and or were touching the medium. Temps are a bit warmer, 26.6 and 52% humidity. And sour D is showing faster pre-flower development

Day: 34
Gave a light watering with leftover compost tea that was already PH to 6.5 Also noticed a small “fruit fly” type bug on my one sticky trap so I cut a bunch of small squares and put them on top of medium. Added a few strips on the side of the pot (not sure if it will work) and a couple on the base of the drop tray.

FrostyKief I also raised LED to 24” from top of cookies and 26.5” for sour D. Noticed it might of been getting a bit light stressed with a few burned tips
Day: 32
Forgot to update for last night (Day 31). Heavy watering with compost tea at 6.56 PH and humidity is 50%. Today I was able to replace and properly LST both plant. Used about 20 clips on the side of the pot and really tried to stretch the plants away from each other and expose those flower sites. Cookies is really bushy still but I really feel really good about the placements of the LST. No water obviously and temps were 25C and 60%humidity

Day: 26
Watered with PH 5.95 did some amateur LST. This plant is so bushy with tight node spacing. Couldn’t really “pull” down long stems since they’re short and stocky. Did the best I could, we’ll see how it handles. Sour D is taking off nicely .

Plant looks healthy with tent @ 25C/60%RH. Watered at 6.38PH. Leaf temps are 21.6C VPD is 0.68 and in range. The other seed sank to the bottom of water glass. Now placed in dark room in wet paper towels to germinate for planting.

Started 18-6 light cycle starting from 1pm to 7am. Sour D still hasn’t germinated yet. Debating starting a new one soon if it dosent come through. Temps are consistent 25C and about 60% humidity.

FrostyKief Also ajusted the height of the light to 30 in from 24. Just appears the new seedling it weeping more than it should considering temps, humidity, VPD and watering are good
Day: 3
Kept filling humidifier. Removed domes after 12 hrs as they didn’t have air flow. Soil is still damp after day 2 of watering. Temps are 76F and 74. % humidity. I like this because I found after the first day it dried out the soil, hence the second watering. Plus germination requires higher humidity and temperature are perfect Update** 7pm checked and cookies auto has germinated. Dusted the top layer of sour D. No signs yet
