Dinafem davisgirl grows the new cookies...

[davisgirl]

Week 10 Day 80 for my Dinafem Ocean Grown Cookie, she’ll go a “few” more weeks. The tent smells nice.

What actually day of bloom are you on now mate? By the look of things around 30-35 day's?

It looks like the stretch phase is over and now we can see some beautiful flowers being formed

Keep the updates coming my friend as each update your getting closer to harvest

All the best

Mark..

Thanks Mark! She was flipped at day 45.

 

[Dinafem-Mark]

Thanks Mark! She was flipped at day 45.

So your at day 35 of (12/12) now as your on day 80 from germination?

I bet that tent smells scrumptious and your getting some big flowers starting to form

Lovely stuff

All the best

Mark..

Holy moly!! They've grown up

Day 92 for my Dinafem Ocean Grown Cookie. Her buds have bulked up a lot, currently day 45 of flower. That means another 2 weeks for 60 days of flower, but I’ll be holding out for a bit of amber, so she might go longer. I hope to germinate new babies around 8/20 running 18/6 lights so these can go another month if I needed.

A sea of tight fragrant buds.

I can see now I’ve been running them too close to the lights. I wasn’t getting the Lux numbers I was expecting at 18” so I dropped them to 12” and both plants are in retrospect, unenthused. So I backed off a bit.

I’m also looking at a bit of clawing and I’m wondering if I might be over feeding. Here is the approximate makeup of my last couple feeds if anyone can give insight or advice:

Both girls are getting the same feeds, Dina on the right and HSO on the left:

Wednesday is new reservoir day so I’ll be using any recommendations then. Lots of great growers here, @RivetGrrl what do you think? Everyone else please weigh in too. @Boradan I know you would cut these numbers in half LOL.

 

[SmokezAlot]

your plants look spectacular.

 

[davisgirl]

Shucks!

your plants look spectacular.

Thanks SmokezAlot! Still a really new grower and I’d like to give these the best finish I can. Still haven’t figured out the proper lighting/nutrient combo but it gets a little better every time.

The UVB is a game changer. The frost on these ladies ... here is a closeup of the HSO —

I'm doing the same thing, I keep dropping my ferts and I think it's for the better, photos and autos. I do see clawing there for nitrogen, I had issues with that as MC has a lot of nitrogen. I stopped using it altogether in flower and went back to my old nutrient regimen, but the MC is awesome in veg! Just too much green in bloom for me to feel comfortable, too much leaf action.

HALF??? Not even close...

For my Critical+ 2.0, the last few weeks were:
Base (Tap) water ppm: 180
Megacrop: 1.02g per gallon
CalMag Pro: 1.02g per gallon
Sweet Candy: 0.4g per gallon
Bud Explosion: 0.5g per gallon

Total PPM: 570 (PPM 500 scale, so 1.14EC)
Adjusted ppm (tap water ppm removed): 390ppm (0.78 EC)
**Measurements using US gallons cuz that's what Greenleaf use instead of real gallons**
The Critical was VERY calmag hungry, but didn't want/need much of anything else

LUX meters are pretty rubbish for COBs and LEDs and only accurate with HPS/MH

Thanks for weighing in guys! I’m so afraid to drop the MC too much since it’s the base, all the micronutrients, etc. But there are the claws...

The Bud Explosion is where it is — I’ve harvested underdeveloped buds before (my favorite DP Colorado Cookie) and I truly think I cut MC too soon and not even by much.

And in the back of my mind I think — these are huge 3x3’s — surely they need AT LEAST the minimum recommendations ...

OK. I’m going to drop the CalMagPro by half and the MC by a third. The damage is done with the clawing and can’t be fixed now, so I guess I’ll be looking for continued bud swelling.

Thanks guys!
