Months ago, I received two seeds that were supposed to be Cookies (unfortunately, I donāt know where they came from).
Now, I planted both, and at first, both looked the same. After a few weeks of growth, they both looked totally different
One looks ānormalā and has regular buds (both are now in bloom), and the other somehow only has these super long hairsā¦ I canāt see any trichomes at all, except on the leaves
Has anyone else ever had such a plant? How do you tell when itās ripe, and will buds still develop there? I honestly havenāt seen a plant like this before
All plants from seed can and will be different just like human offspring. Trichomes could take a while to show. If somehow none grow I would just harvest when the other is done.
First of all, thanks for your answer. Itās clear that plants are not always 100 percent identical. The two just differ very strongly from each other. Growth, leaves, buds, everything is completely different.
Iām just a bit unsure because of the many hairs. Honestly, Iāve never seen a plant like this before.
Well, Iāll keep an eye out to see if something develops, the other one just has proper buds and this one only has hairs
Unfortunately, I canāt find any cookies (strains) that look like this, so I thought it might be a completely different strain.
Different phenotypes, many hairs is good, isnāt it, under each hair a flower that collectively forms the āflowerā, each bud consists of many tiny flowers.
You probably canāt tell us if they are autoflowering or photoperiodic, can you?
But they donāt seem to be exactly the same ladies to me. One has beautiful long thin fan leaves, the other rather thick āfleshyā ones.
Essentially, itās possible that one might be leaning more towards Sativa genes (the one with the thin fingers), which might also result in a longer flowering time and thus slower bud development.
For me personally, that wouldnāt be so bad, then you can leave the other one standing while the first one dries.
Hi and welcome @Lena_Bpunkt to the Growlingsā:victory_hand:!!!
You have beautiful ladies in your tent.
Whether they are really Cookies, probably no one can tell just by their appearance.
Because our āweed with certain advantagesā always looks so diverse yet structurally similar in growth.
Since your plants are already in the flowering phase, with the right care, youāll soon be able to smell the aromas.
Which, in your case, should then really smell like sweet pastriesā¦
It sounds very bizarre now, but the moment you open the tent for the first time each day, take a really deep breathā¦ Almost inhale. After coughing, you should actually smell or have smelled the aromaā¦ This is neither scientific nor substantiated. But it usually works for me. Itās worth a try though. It costs you nothing, and youāll get a little closer to the bottom of it.
Your text doesnāt clarify whether they were 2 seeds found in weed or purchased ones. If itās the same strain, the different appearance comes from them being hybrids. A gene pool of Indica/Sativa.
On the right, the Sativa clearly shows through, while the left is more Indica.
From the start of flowering, it always begins with the hairy pistils, and from the 5th week of flowering, the flowers continue to build up, growing from the pistils. Did you change the light from 18 to 12? Or did they automatically flower even with 18 hours of light?
Then they would be automatics.
Photoperiodic plants only flower with around 12 hours of light.
Thatās what can be said with certainty. Which strain it ultimately is, one can only guess, and without identification, itās just speculation.
They look good and healthy, but will still need a few weeks until they are ripe.
Hey, yeah, that could be it too. But the tip with the smell was quite good; the two also smell completely different. The two have been on 12/12 for 7 weeks now, and the Sativa took much longer. The fact that it takes longer doesnāt bother me; I just would have liked to know what kind of strain it is.
You have great ladies there; they are stretching nicely
The two didnāt really want to grow tall the whole
So now itās clear itās not the same strain, but whatās the other one
The Sativa dominates the smell in the tent: it smells like forest, earth, pine (somehow that reminds me of weed from back in the day when there werenāt a million strains yet)
And the other one, you really have to get close, it barely smellsā¦ But sweetish could fit.
I havenāt had Cookies before, and it seems there are many different ones there too
Great plants, Iād love to grow them in the garden too, but the neighbors Iād immediately have the police here, even if three are allowed. Good luck with your grow. Do you have a closer picture of the GG4?
Ah okay, that they can even smell and taste different wasnāt entirely clear to me I havenāt been doing this for that long, and so far Iāve had relatively similar strains. Thanks for the tip. Iāve also looked for Cockies before, but there are so many Cockie strains.
I also think the other one will take longer, but thatās no problem at all.
Of course, trying out strains is great, but if theyāre good, I like to remember them which unfortunately doesnāt seem possible here.
