Day 35 in flowering tomorrow, a write up tonight and pic's up tomorrow morning. Everything is moving along well, a relatively easy grow comparing to many other grows. Interesting is the "sweetness" in the room smell wise, it reminds me of the Sweet Seeds "Green Poison" I did for a couple of years while I was a tester for them. G.P. sweetness came from it's skunk heritage, and I was sure this Cookies had some skunk in it too. Seedfinder.eu shows Skunk #1 in it's Mandarin Sunset parent- I just knew it was there somewhere. I've tried to run this one on the lower end of the nutrients, never going above 850 ppm and many waterings around 750 ppm or a bit higher. I've also watered a few times with plain water adding 5ml of Cal/Mag to it, since my R.O device strips it all out. I also have not been able to find any true variation within the plants- if you remember, I thought I may have mixed up some freebies from Ethos, also a Cookie hybrid, but I'm guessing that just may not be the case now. I think I'll know for sure when everything is nearly done. So, no bug issues, no deficiency issues and since the plants stayed short off the topping, no heat issues. I love these winter time grows.
Today is also a very sad day for me......a very close friend, for over 40 years, passed away at 57 years old. A long time stoner, he was in an off-road 3 wheel vehicle accident and was paralyzed from the neck down many years ago. With 2 young kids in a new marriage at 23 years old, his wife immediately left him as she didn't want to live her life taking care of him. So although he was able to keep a positive attitude mostly, he fought health issues for the whole time- especially pnemonia and urinary track infections on and off. Being from the Philly/S. Jersey area, he loved Philly sports and especially the Eagles. I've lost 3 of my oldest and closest friends in the last 1+ years, not many truely close ones left now...........RIP Troy.
So, with that- pic's up in the morning.
