Rocket's Cream Cookies Autos

Rocket1181 So far so good. Soil is Stepwell Super Soil, so this grow should just be plain water with occasional EM-1 essential microbes when the time comes.

Rocket1181 Still going strong! They've grown up a lot in the past week. Still just plain water, not even EM-1 yet. Plants get about a half liter via spray bottle every day. Should be starting training next week! Going with LST and defoliation. Usually I top my autos but not going to this cycle and see how it goes.

Rocket1181 Wow, things have really taken off! And still no added nutrients or EM1! Just plain water from the tap, after sitting out for 24+ hours of course. Girls are just loving the Stepwell soil. As you can see, LST training has started. Otherwise they would be closer to 5-6 inches at this point. The rate of growth is much faster than I seen when using Promix. I'm having a hard time managing my humidity and temps. I can't cool my room any more, so if it gets too warm, I lose humidity and have to raise the lights. Then my humidity is better, but of course my light is further away. That's why it's back to 18 in week three. I'm certain it's the summer months just warming up my room more, but AC is maxed so gotta work with what I can. I do plan on starting EM1 in the next little bit as some leaf tips have a very light yellowing. So I'll keep my eye on that but for now, they definitely are Rockets!

Rocket1181 Some great growth going on! Flowering has started several days ago, around 3.5 weeks. A day after my week 3 update, I fed them with EM1, and then 6 days later (yesterday) I watered again with EM1 over Bokashi Super Food too dressing. Since No.2 is a runt, I decided not to LST her and let her grow naturally aside from some defoliation as needed. You can see her middle is quite exposed. The other 4 are all trained and growing very similar. Likely no more tying down on the main cola. I might stake out a couple of the lower tops coming through, just to move them a little sideways to be sure they're always getting full light. Other than that, over the next week I'll be focused on making sure the lower tops are getting the light, as well as the space they need to grow into full tops. Pretty low maintenance really! ★Further Update★ Looks like early stage iron deficiency. Tops are fading and new growth is very thin. According to the standard pH uptake chart, iron uptake starts to diminish around 6.5+ My praise of not having to pH bit me in the rear. Always pH!!! I've been going in at 7.0-7.5 as I thought the super soil took care of pH, but lesson learned. Time to crack open the pH down.

Rocket1181 Week 5 on the Cream Cookies from FastBuds Genetics! Some notes: Since watering with lower pH water and trimming the larger leaves last night, it seems like they just really took off. That unhealthy vibe they were giving off last week isn't there; all I'm seeing is vigorous, healthy new growth. Bottom tops are really coming through due to the very simple LST work. I was much more aggressive on my last cycle with LST and it didn't pay off, so it definitely proves that less is more. Also, remember the No.2 runt? She's really been taking off since I untied her. Still small compared to the others, but she's gonna turn into a beautiful full plant regardless. I'm honestly just so happy to see them bouncing back and looking better than ever. In terms of feed, will be splashing with pH adjusted EM1 on the next watering. In terms of training, some basic defoliation to carry them to harvest.

Rocket1181 Things have been going great! After adjusting the pH down to a more appropriate level, they instantly showed signs of healthier plants. New growth was coming in fast, perky, and just overall healthy looking growth! Overall the flower stretch on this strain has been quite average from most other strains I've run. I reckon they still have quite a bit of stretching to go as well, so the final heights are TBD but they should be some nicely sized autoflowers come harvest week. Still feeding EM1 and I added in a standard dose of calmag to cover my bases, pH adjusting from here on out. First frost sightings on Cream Cookies #4 :D pictures just uploaded Aug 28. Other than that, onward and budward!

Rocket1181 Still trucking along. Seems like nutrients in the soil are starting to get depleted indicated by the yellowing leaves although it's still fairly early in flower. That being said, I fed them a standard dose of Micro and Bloom to ensure they're getting the food they need, and will likely feed another dose of calmag down the road. I actually measured my plant heights and the tallest is 14 inches (number 5) and the shortest is around 8 inches (number 2). Fairly short but I think they will still yield nicely :) Smell is starting to come out. Noticable when I open the tent but carbon filter keeping things discreet. Other than that, just another week! Oh, and number 4 is a confirmed mutation, growing three heads. Interested to see how she matures!

Rocket1181 What can I say? They're just about growing themselves. I've given them one of their last haircuts a few days prior to this update. Probably do one more stripping as they enter their final two weeks. FastBuds notes this as an 8-9 week strain but I think we can all see it will be 3-4 weeks over that. The only thing to really note is number four. She's a three headed freak, but a frosty one at that. Plan on picking up Green Planets Resin and Massive to finish her off for food. Thoughts? Thanks for looking everyone. Appreciate it and feel free to leave any feedback.

Rocket1181 Here we are! Week 9 and getting thicker. Definitely wasn't the smoothest week so far. They definitely were getting hungry with lots of time left, so I gave them another full dose of nutrients, plus their standard microbe feeding on the alternate watering. I decided to run an experiment with ice water flushing. I'm going to only ice water flush #3, and we will be able to see a comparison on colours and trichome coverage between her and the other 4 that will get nothing but pHd plain water at room temperature. Other than that, I would say the pictures really speak for themselves. They are supposed to be close to harvest according to the breeders packs, but I reckon we're at that infamous two week countdown. Please leave your thoughts and comments below. I sincerely appreciate you checking out my grow.

Rocket1181 Well I gave them the last feeding of micro, bloom, and calmag. Just flushing from here on out. I did a trimming a few days ago to get most of the leaves showing spots and signs of weakness. Her smell isn't quite definitive quite yet, but I will update with how she smells when jarred up. I don't think any will produce any large nugs, perhaps due to genetics or grower errors. What do you think? Other that that, another week down!
