"A freshly-baked Kush seasoned with wild berries" Is the chosen words used by Dinafem to describe this amazing strain. Its descended from a Girl Scout Cookies and their elite mother Blueberry. Fully aware of the immense popularity of the Cookies family across mostly the USA, their team of breeders put their hearts into creating a hybrid that would bring the amazing traits of this world-renowned strain to their limit. Born in San Francisco Bay, Girl Scout Cookies was named after her delicious uncanny scent reminiscent of freshly-baked cookies. Is there any better match for this sweet cocktail than a Blueberry with mouth-watering aromas of fresh blueberries? After a long cross-breeding process aimed at only selecting the traits that would outdo the original ones, Dinafems team of breeders has created Blueberry Cookies, a hard-hitting hybrid called to surprise the palates of hard-to-impress veterans. Blueberry Cookies grows into mid-sized plants that can reach 3 meters in optimal conditions when cultivated outdoors. Her branches are solid and her internodes are rather large, meaning light can easily penetrate the canopy and reach the lower branches giving way to evenly distributed, elongated, amazingly thick, and resin-packed flowers. All Cookies hybrids are famous for the purple nuances covering them, but this one in particular, thanks to her Blueberry side, is a spectacular display of reddish, violet, and purplish hues. Besides, with a moderate calyx-to-leaf ratio, trimming her will not be a pain in the ass. They also recommend safekeeping her sugar leaves for the delicious resin on them can be used to make incredible concentrates. We can Expect extremely thick and heavy spiky-looking buds with large calyxes, a rarity that ordinary Kush genetics don’t generally have. She’s indeed so beautiful that even "them", the Dinafem team, can’t stop staring at her Characteristics of Blueberry Cookies Genotype: 60% Indica / 40% Sativa Cross: Blueberry x Girl Scout Cookies Suitable for: indoors and outdoors Indoor flowering: 55-60 days Indoor yield: 400-500 g/m2 Indoor height: Medium Outdoor yield: 700-900 g/plant Outdoor height: 3 m THC: 18-22% CBD: Low THC/CBD ratio: 180:1 Welcome to my 420sas season 03 grow, now that we know abit more about the strain we ll be growing, lets discuss what we actually going to do. Much like my previous grow we going Autopots again (I was extremely impressed by them) I have upgraded some of the 6mm to 9mm aswel. We also doing a synthetic & organic run again, since this time we using only one strain opposed to multiple it will be easier to document it With organic we going with coco & the same amendments as the previous grow With Synthetics we will be using the NutriGold 3 part range on Coco & Perlite Since my veg room is about 3 weeks away with little to no space we will start this grow in the flower tent and than move them into the veg tent after 3 weeks In the next update we will start the germination process, I will try to skip much of the boring stuff so will be doing a 3 week update on this one

I see some fat ones

You wont go wrong with the auto pots

If all fails, than make your own mix. Infact all soils you buy are made up of recipes, I used to spend alot on soil until I got into mixing my own and down a few years, I can honestly say there's nothing on the market that beats your own mix especially if going organic and you reuse it over and over. Decide on your base coco/soil (remember each have different requirements as to the frequent use of nutrients and watering) than do a 33% of soil/coco, 33% perlite, and 33% compost/earth-worm castings. That's mix will give you decent results if you decide to do a synthetic run if you want to do a more laid back grow you can go organic & add amendments to your mix (can also add some elemental blend which will have enough amendments) It's up to you what you prefer to use. Freedom Farms is a good brand if you want to skip the work of mixing your own soil but in the long run you get better quality for your money with your own mix. ("there goes Marzcanna blabbing about mixed soils again ) All the best for your grows

Drying & Curing Update: Hows it growing growmies, hope everyone is getting into a festive mood despite the circumstances we find ourselves in. So we have harvested, dried and are now curing our buds. They were air dried at 20 - 22c and at 65% Rh. A little hotter than I'd like so was able to dry them for 7 days instead of the 10-14 days I usally achive. Total dried weight just little above 400 All buds in the jars have a reading of 60 - 67%RH with the one (K-2) being the only one at 67%, 1 week of burping it and it's been brought down to a steady 62% They total curing period at the moment is 2 weeks, with the RH at perfect zone we will do a further cure for atleast anther 6 weeks Next up we ll do a smoke report. Happy Xmas & a happy new year for all

Hey there, assuming you have success with germination and it's the seedlings you finding a trouble with than it could be a number of things so to rule them out I would start by asking you what type of medium are you using?

unfortunately I missed Charles and Dustin's fight, but im sure it must of been war, my money was always on Charles tho, the dude has been very impressive in his last fights and hes showing everyone exactly why hes the one holding the belt, the dude is a master at coming up with something crazy (usally a submission from no where) if not that than he ll pull out a crazy strike to knock you out, hes very unpredictable & that makes a fighter very dangerous in my opinion

On Wednesday, the new “traffic light" coalition presented their plans for Germany. Under the motto “Dare to make progress", the parties presented a 177-page document that includes plans to introduce the controlled distribution of cannabis in Germany. Germany to commence with sale of cannabis Germany’s coalition parties - the SPD, the Greens and the FDP - have set out their vision for Germany in the post-Merkel era. Among other things, the parties’ coalition contract included provisions to ease the laws around the personal, recreational use of cannabis. The contract stipulates that the new coalition “will introduce the controlled distribution of cannabis to adults for consumption purposes in licensed stores.” The document goes on to state that this measure will “control the quality, prevent the circulation of contaminated substances and ensure the protection of minors.” Under current German law, cannabis plants can be grown, sold, owned, imported and exported. While private, recreational use of the drug is banned (although police do tend to turn a blind eye towards small amounts), medical cannabis has been legal since 2017. Do the health benefits outweigh the risks? It is hoped that the government regulation of cannabis will reduce the amount sold by street dealers, which is how recreational users most commonly purchase the drug in Germany. The German Cannabis Association has warned of the dangers of buying drugs from street dealers, suggesting that cannabis bought in this way is often mixed with other substances, such as sand, hairspray, talcum powder, glass and lead. Experts have also suggested that marijuana is sometimes contaminated with heroin or synthetic cannabinoids, which can have severe side effects. The director of the German Cannabis Organization, Georg Wurth, has said that the legalization of marijuana is unlikely to lead to a significant rise in consumption and subsequent unexpected health problems. “Since a significant increase in consumption is not to be expected, (an) increase in the various problems caused by consumption is not to be expected either,” he said. However, the move to legalise the sale of cannabis has drawn sharp criticism from politicians and health advocates. The CDU’s advisor on drug policy, Stephan Pilsinger, has accused the new coalition parties of running an “experiment on the health of our society and our young people." Experts have warned that the use of marijuana amongst young people can affect the central nervous system, which can lead to psychosis and schizophrenia. Sustained use of the drug has been linked to respiratory diseases and testicular cancer. Cannabis: An economic lifeline for Germany? As of yet, no decision has been made regarding the sale of recreational cannabis in Germany. The coalition wants to regulate the distribution of the drug, so as to better control who can buy the drug and the supply. So far, it has been suggested that cannabis could be sold in tobacco stores, pharmacies or even coffee shops, like those found in Amsterdam. Illegalizing marijuana also carries a financial incentive for Germany; a report by the Heinrich-Heine University in Düsseldorf found that legalizing's cannabis could generate around 4,7 billion euros every year in public funds, as well as create around 27.000 jobs. Wurth has argued that the prohibition of marijuana actually costs German taxpayers, as billions are spent every year on prosecuting those who deal the drug illegally. He also stated that the ban on cannabis “promotes organized crime by giving it exclusive access to a market worth billions.”

You get the 20L fabric pots now, aswel as air domes that sits directly between the roots, without the air dromes, the roots grow out of the pot abit and I'm guessing that's enough air for them, what I did to replace those air domes on the root was to add the airstones to the tanks themselves and that seem to work great. Had an impressive yield on this last grow. I don't believe in paying so much for a piece of plastic for anyone running autopots and wants those air domes there's diy on the net that works the same

@Weskush is on point by what he said. Telling by the pic seems only top leaves are effected? We ll have to rule out heat stress from the lights first. You may also put the pots on top of something to get some air flow into the roots like @CreXmentioned.

Growing seriously with grow tents and equipment, Id say easy 10 years, started with HPS. But I've grown for a couple more years if you count all the outdoor grows and messing around

So we finally here, end of week 09 and the day before chop Everything has been quite smooth and easy with the autopots, honestly I loved growing with them, growth rate was impressive both in synthetic and organic medium, I will dif be using autopots for all my grows going foward Here are some pics of the ladies in week 7 - week 9 Week 09: Next update they getting a wet trim and hang dried at 65%RH and 16 c for roughly 2 weeks before the final trim and jars Thanx for stopping by

Well said

What's weeding growmies This one's a bit of a late update this time and really not much to show but here we got the ladies in week 4 & 5 and finally we can see a side by side of a Zkittlez grown in organic and Zkittlez synthetic Zkittlez Synthetic She did seem abit green didn't she? I completely removed nitrogen from her feeding around week 5 so she should use up most of it by harvest and we should see her fading soon Zkittlez Organic Thanx for reading. Will update again in 2 weeks

It's not for my grow tho @Adansonia digitata, that would work great tho

OK so this is a stupid question but where can I get these online?

I don't usually reply in breeders topics, but I will have to say this since the opportunity has presented itself, I was gifted 2 packs of 10 Tortoni F1s, gave 15 to my friend for his outdoor and kept 5 for myself, he went germinated his and I germinated mine... out of those 20..20 germinated. That's 100% germination, to add all the females had some of the most beautiful and frosty buds coming out of those plants and not to kiss ass here because anyone who has followed my grows will know which breeder I stand by but 1 has to say @Totemicthat's impressive

Far cry 6 is got my attention lately. If you a fan of far cry 3 than far cry 6 will keep you entertained for abit

Thanx I was suppose to do a heavy schawazz but as i said im not a fan of this so i went lighter than usual

Start of week 4. Buds are starting form and nothing else much happing except a friend of mine who's quite the grower advised me to heavy defol / schawazz. Now Im not a fan of this but I went and did it on day 21 anyway. After this I ll leave them alone until harvest. I hope it works out and doesn't turn out to be a flop

Effects of the Combinations of Rhizobacteria, Mycorrhizae, and Seaweed and Supplementary Irrigation on Growth and Yield in Wheat Cultivars For anyone wanting to learn more on the effects of combining Rhizobacteria and Mycorrhizae for your grows heres a PDF for a good read, its obliviously using wheat but i would believe to get a similar effect on cannabis PDF HERE

My question is what type of microbes are those brands using, for example Biodyne and moss blend by umya do not state anything besides dosages and I've used a few others with no mention either. I can see how redosing can be a waste in soil and a thriving environment. But what about soiless? Will it than be beneficial to inoculate or is it possible to maintain a healthy environment for the microbes to thrive?

So ive already touched on mycorrhizae in previous posts and its benefits are already well documented basically alover the net. But there is anther beneficial fungi/bacteria/microbe that is well documented and being used in farms growing other plants and vegs but we do not hear or see it being used as much in the cannabis scene and thats Rhizobacteria. Its true that all soils have some % of Rhizobacteria but could there be something as too much or even better how do we introduce it and its benefits into a soilless setup such as coco? Well after a couple of days of research i was convinced to try a product called Rhizo PGPR and will begin inoculating it in my grows from now on But what is Rhizobacteria you may ask. Well below is an article taken from Zamnesia & Frontiersin which better explains the benefits of it on many different plants aswel as on cannabis which is what we all looking for "Cannabis growers often associate bacteria with plant diseases. However, some forms of these microbes dramatically improve plant health and performance. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria enhance almost every aspect of cannabis plant physiology, from nutrient uptake and pathogen defence to cannabinoid levels and drought resistance. Far from a lifeless substance, soil contains millions of microorganisms. While some of these small critters are a threat to the cannabis plant, many of them form alliances with the roots and boost plant growth, vitality, and yields. Various species of bacteria, fungi, and nematodes patrol the rhizosphere—the slither of soil that surrounds cannabis roots. Although we often associate these microbes with decomposition and decay, many of them actively promote growth. Cannabis plants are innately intelligent. They appear static to the human eye, but, in reality, they are constantly moving and have a lot of control over their environment. The herb essentially “farms” microbes in the soil. By releasing sugars into the rhizosphere, it attracts beneficial species of fungi and bacteria. In return for these tasty carbohydrates, the microbes mine the soil for nutrients and release growth-promoting plant hormones. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are soil microbes that help to enhance cannabis cultivation. Learn how to harness these tiny members of the rhizosphere to achieve the biggest possible harvests. WHAT ARE CANNABIS PLANT GROWTH-PROMOTING RHIZOBACTERIA (PGPR)? Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria is a term that includes several species of soil bacteria that enhance cannabis plant health. The term “rhizo” relates to “roots”, referring to the location where these species choose to reside. What attracts PGPR to the roots? Compared to the bulk of the soil, the rhizosphere offers a rich source of nutrients that microorganisms are drawn to. Known as exudates, these sugar molecules are released by cannabis plants to attract beneficial microbes. Species of PGPR are divided into two main groups: symbiotic species and free-living species. Symbiotic species live inside plant tissue, where they swap beneficial chemicals with plant cells directly. Some species live in the space between plant cells, whereas others penetrate the cells and live inside of them. Others take things a step further by merging their biology with the plant, forming unique structures made of both plant and bacterial parts. In contrast, free-living rhizobacteria exist on the outside of roots, where they work to increase yields and protect plants from the stresses of flooding and disease. Free-living species colonise the outside of cannabis roots. They form patches of communities that cover anywhere between 15–40% of the root surface, clinging to root hairs and the gaps between cells. In the presence of enough nutrients, they cover the entire root surface and form a thick layer of bacteria. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF RHIZOBACTERIA FOR CANNABIS GROWING? Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria boost cannabis plants in several ways. They help to enhance fertilisation, stimulate root growth, minimise plant stress, and even clean up the soil. Rhizobacteria also give cannabis plants a helping hand by defending against disease and assisting them in competing for nutrients. HOW DO RHIZOBACTERIA PROMOTE CANNABIS GROWTH? Growers can use PGPR to enhance the growth of their plants. Just as cultivators use different nutrients, training techniques, and lights in an attempt to boost yields, influencing the rhizosphere produces similar results. Some of the key ways in which rhizobacteria help to promote plant growth include: Growth hormones: PGPR produce several plant hormones that stimulate plant growth. These molecules drive plant development by promoting cell division and cell growth. Nutrient uptake: Rhizobacteria enhance the ability of cannabis plants to uptake nutrients. The plant relies on a fine balance of macro- and micronutrients to fuel growth, drive photosynthesis, and make other metabolic processes possible. Security: These helpful microbes also enable optimal plant growth through their “security services”. By preventing diseases from attacking the roots, they put an end to any attack that might slow down growth and threaten yields. Flower quality: Cannabinoids and terpenes make up the prized molecules within cannabis buds. By influencing nutrient movement and stress control, rhizobacteria increase these compounds and the overall holistic and recreational quality of cannabis flowers HOW DO RHIZOBACTERIA PROTECT CANNABIS PLANTS? Although kind to cannabis, PGPR wage war against other species. By fighting other microbes for resource dominance, they help cannabis plants to stay healthy and strong. Aside from fending off living organisms, they also embolden plants against the elements and adverse weather conditions. Rhizobacteria are truly invested in the health of their host cannabis plant, as it secures them a steady source of food and shelter. In return, they offer protection against various threats. Here's how PGPR protect your weed plants: Produce antibiotics: Not all bacteria in the rhizosphere work well with cannabis. Many species pose a threat to the roots—perhaps the most vital aspect of the entire plant’s anatomy. By manufacturing antibiotic compounds, PGPR kill off the bad guys. They lead plants into battle: As well as producing their own pathogen-killing molecules, rhizobacteria prompt plants to produce their own. By triggering a state of systemic resistance, they signal the cannabis plant to produce its own metabolites designed to fight off pathogens and parasites. Environmental defence: Cannabis plants produce the best results when treated to a stable environment. Sudden extremes, including surges in temperature, droughts, and floods, can negatively impact cannabis, damage plants, and stunt growth. Rhizobacteria increase tolerance and resilience in plants and help them deal with these threats much better. Powdery mildew: This fungal disease plagues growing operations every year, resulting in contaminated flowers. PGPR defend against this crop-destroying fungus. HOW AND WHEN TO APPLY RHIZOBACTERIA? Growers can protect their crop and enhance yields by using PGPR to inoculate their plants. Farmers across the world are starting to use rhizobacteria as a biofertiliser to replace conventional pesticides and chemical fertilisers. Cultivators can inoculate their plants at several stages throughout the growing cycle. Inoculating seeds with cannabis-compatible rhizobacteria will give your seedlings the best start in life. Simply add around 1g of rhizobacteria into the hole when sowing seeds. If you've already started growing and want to take advantage of these microorganisms, use the same product to make a soil drench to inoculate the root system. Thoroughly mix 1g of rhizobacteria per litre of water. Apply this formula once every 21 days to keep the rhizosphere thriving with beneficial life. You can also include rhizobacteria in your transplanting strategy to help plants recover from the stress faster. Sprinkle 1g into the hole before introducing your plant to its new home.
