Nay, we all work together and have fun
I'll be learning the ropes, collecting data and keeping the vibe positive, no bad days in here.
Sorry to hear about the toes, that sucks!! I hope you heal fast and well, are you hobbled for a spell?

I'll be trying my hand at seeing how many plants I can kill outdoors this year too :smoking:add it to my indoor tally.
I want to play along so I'll be trying to germ one free Ocean Grown Cookies seed I got with a 'Tude order, I'll let the big boss know if I do so of course. And growing the Quick Kush and Quick Critical too.

Greetings all, it's still a ways away but I'm itching to get going on the 2nd leg; I will be germinating a whack of seeds on April 17 gonna be rocking my tents.
Hope everyone is enjoying the current battles, or if waiting enjoying your own personal grows as well, or in addition to :smoking:

If each of you could please post up some info, I will thread mark it and this will be where I copy & paste your updates once this thread is locked and we join the Big Battle.

What I am looking for is your Kit:

Grow space: (tent, room, etc).
Main light: (Manufacturer, is it COB, QB, HID, LED etc). I myself will be changing and adding lights so just the main source is fine.
Method and media: (Hydroponic, soil, system/pots).
Nutrient vendor: (No need to list all amendments, just the vendor like AN, GH, Greenleaf, etc)

I will be asking for additional details as each update is requested, so just some basics to get started is great please and thank you

As your seeds arrive, it would be fun to post up a picture as well and let me know you got them. I have one free seed of the Ocean Grown Cookies that I hope I have space for so I can play along as seeded (as long as it germinates and survives)!

As always, if anything looks funny @TheMongol please let me know. If anyone is confused feel free to ask any questions, and page 1 as always will have much of the info for the rules, etc. posted up.

dinafem white cheese ready for battle. This one is easy, seeded, no journal for her. I know i you got germ pic already just letting ya know she made it. 10 for 10 germ rate on this last roundup

May 2, 2019:
Day 16, 15 ect.. girls are kickin ass, ahead of schedule. I still gotta get the fence built pots and cages set up. Bout to start scalping the first 4 or 5 nodes off each plant.

The blue widow knew it, she only grew 1 on first node.

so as of right now my plan is to scalp each plant up till the 4th node, then later after she grows to the 4th new node ill start my topping and do a shitload of it until early july. Things might change tho. Will see

May 5, 2019:

Hi all! Let’s do this thing!

Grow space: 5’x10’ grow tent
Main light: COBs with minimal side lighting in flower
Method and media: DWC
Nutrient vendor: Greenleaf, Green Life, Optic Foliar, Advanced Nutrients, BioAg, HydroOrganics

April 17 2019 Germination:

Yay!!! Everyone is invited to follow along and I’ll probably tag you later, but wanted to get this up for now — https://www.autoflower.org/threads/davisgirl-grows-the-new-cookies.71160/

April 19, 2019:
The seeds cracked after being soaked for 24 hours. I put them directly into Root Riots and set them in the tray. They’ll remain there until they poke through, then into the 5 gallon buckets they’ll go.

Day 3:

Day 16 and Blueberry hasn’t hit the water. I will probably start a new seed. OG has been hungry:

May 20, 2019:
Day 30

Ocean Grown Cookie —
Nice structure to her. A pleasure to grow:

Blueberry Cookie —
Slow going for her, she had a delay putting roots in the water, seems to be coming along otherwise though. She is my favorite:

Dinafem Ocean Grown Cookies at day 45:

Left the plants to their own devices for 10 days, no reservoir topoff and no pH checks or adjustments. Unbelievably, this one thrived. Probably should have flipped her before I left, she’s going to be a real bear height wise in flower.

Here is the plant that was not chosen, my Dinafem Blueberry Cookie, also at day 45. She struggled since early on, and the wild pH did her in. I will plant another in the third round.

Week 6:

Dinafem Ocean Grown Cookie photoperiod, day 50 in DWC. She got flipped 5 days ago to 12/12 lighting. She gets about 250 ppm from CalMagPro plus another 650 ppm from everything else, mostly Megacrop at 4 gr/gal. She’s in about 5.5 gallons of nutrient solution and has a cob and a half all to herself. She weathered the vacation exceptionally well. I have been in and done some defoliation, but it is an ongoing effort. As she heads into this stretch I’ll be looking for more training opportunities. She’s a big big girl, almost 3 feet across. I haven’t started bloom nutes yet but I plan to add Bud Explosion into her next reservoir change, maxing out her ppm’s at 1050-1100. They all love the Heisenberg tea.

Front right:

Dinafem Ocean Grown Cookie, day 61 —

A big robust healthy girl, she’s 2 weeks into 12/12 Lighting and pushing buds out all over. Yummy.

6/27/2019:
Here’s my budding beauties at day 67:

On the right:

7/2/2019:
Dinafem Ocean Grown Cookie day 72

She’s doing good, I’m running her at 1050 ppm and about 78F. She’s getting Megacrop, Bud Explosion, CalMagPro, Sweet Candy, Kelp extract, Enhance MC and my very own Heisenberg tea. Humidity is running a bit high, I make sure it doesn’t go over 55 percent, but the dehumidifier is working full time at that. Funny, and in the winter it’s 20% rH all season long. <slap head emoji>

...

I was in a funk last week and didn’t take good care of her. Her pH mysteriously went down to 3.2. <slap head emoji>

. Looks like I got a pass from the grow God’s this time because she looks pretty good, but I’m disappointed in myself as this is a fucking grow battle running sponsored seed and dammit — I know better. Y’all trained me up better than this and she could have looked a lot better.

Anyways, feast your eyes upon my little pretty — she is sharing 6 COBs with her HSO sister and they get a total of about 3 hours a day under the UVA lamp. I’m running these at about 14” and it’s tight.

7/5/2019:
Week 10 Update, day 75 for my Dinafem Ocean Grown Cookie:

7/12/2019:
Week 10 Day 80 for my Dinafem Ocean Grown Cookie, she’ll go a “few” more weeks. The tent smells nice.

7/21/2019:
Day 90 for my Dinafem Ocean Grown Cookie, day 45 of flower. She has put on a lot of bulk on her buds, but she will still go a few more weeks. She looks claw-y all of a sudden. I’m going to back off on her Megacrop. Everything else is in line.

Here she is on the right:

Dinafem Ocean Grown Cookie on day 94. She will go another 2 weeks or so. She’s big and smelly, just like I like em.

Happy harvesting!

Wk 3 update ~25days
DINAFEM Ocean Grown Cookies & Blueberry Cookies

I was a bit late on my projectedtransplant(65 gallon top picture & 10 gallon pots bottom picture) so I've been chasing a small calcium deficiency. This week I top dressed some gypsum, a few foliar sprays with kelp and water soluble calcium. Plainwater all week, one of waterings including a filet of Aloe Vera. Tonight I'll sow in a covercrop, top dress some compost and add a mulch layer.

WEEK 5 UPDATE ~40 DAYS
GOTY LEG2 BATTLE PLANT DINAFEM BLUEBERRY COOKIES

Forgot to mention I topped her a week or so ago and last night flipped to 12/12.

~ 42 days Dinafem Photoperiod Ocean Grown Cookies and Blueberry Cookies

I Finally had some time to show the whole tent with the progress of these Dinafem beauties and relate how easy the vegetative stage has gone. All plants have grown consistently with the same structure, except for one ----but you know there always has to be one. But, that one Blueberry Cookie plant stretched approximately double the size of the other cookie plants, even after topping her(1st picture far right)...I wish I could put her outside because she would be a beast. I know some growers wish they had such problems! Here are some pics of the whole grow tent. Love these Dinafem gals.

Week6 UPDATE GOTY LEG 2-DINAFEM BLUEBERRY COOKIES BATTLE PLANT


~ 49 days Dinafem Photoperiod Ocean Grown Cookies and Blueberry Cookies
10 days on 12/12

Dinafem Grow has been easy and smooth. Just wish I had some more room---these girls like to cuddle.

Week update 7. ~ 56 days Dinafem Photoperiod Ocean Grown Cookies and Blueberry Cookies

Plain water mostly all week with one including the addition of coconut water power and em1. One of the blue Cookies was getting chopped up a bit by the oscillating fan so those branches were bent to accommodate the movement. Lights were raised almost all the way and potentiometers were all turned to 100%. Fungus gnats showed up unanounced a few days ago!

6/27/2019:
DINAFEM Ocean Grown Cookies & Blueberry Cookies update week 8 ~ 65 days

7/2/2019
DINAFEM Ocean Grown Cookies & Blueberry Cookies update week 9 ~ 70 days

Plain filtered water all week including some aloe and aminos. I started to have some leafs dropping and yellowing on the lowers which I thought was just nutrient uptake troubles from fungus gnat larva. But after two applications of nematodes and near eradication the problem is progressing upward. It definitely looks like a PK deficiency. So this week I'll do a slurry test to check ph and decide a mode of action to push them through this last month of flower.
