šæ Gelonade ā Week 4 Veg
Grower: Dogdoctor
Strain: Gelonade (Zamnesia Seeds)
Type: Feminized
Environment: Indoor Tent | Dual Zone | Full Spectrum LED | Full Control Ecosystem
āø»
š± The Plants: Branching, Glowing, Flourishing
Our Gelonade girls are THRIVING. Four weeks into veg and both phenos are showing off, with no signs of transplant stress and a burst of branching energy thatās filling out beautifully.
⢠Stems are strong, upright, and thickening nicely
⢠Leaves are broad, vibrant, and reaching
⢠Internodal spacing is tight ā perfect for shaping later
⢠Side branches are already declaring themselves
We took both beauties out for a special photoshoot this week. The studio lighting captured their posture, color, and symmetry, and letās just say⦠theyāre already stars. š

š§ Gear Check ā Ecosystem in Harmony
This grow is powered by tech and intention, a custom environment designed for precision and balance. Letās break it down.
š” Lighting:
Weāre running dual light ecosystems in an expanded 8x8 grow area:
⢠Future of Grow ā Black Series 600
⢠Full-spectrum, ultra-efficient, deep canopy penetration
⢠ThinkGrow Model One LED
⢠High PPFD uniformity, smart dimming, daylight-mimicking balance
Both are controlled via the TrolMaster system, allowing:
⢠Timed schedules
⢠Sunrise/sunset ramping
⢠Real-time PPFD monitoring
š Each light is tuned to deliver exactly what the plants need, no more, no less.

Sensors & Controllers
The TrolMaster Tent-X Controller is the brain of the operation ā feeding live data from sensors throughout the space:
⢠COā Sensor ā Ensures levels stay in the ideal range for vigorous veg
⢠Temp/Humidity Sensor ā Live VPD adjustments and historical tracking
⢠PPFD Sensor ā Calibrates light levels and spreads evenly across canopy
Everything is automated, or monitored manually as needed. This allows you to focus on plants, not guesswork.

š¬ļø Airflow & Filtration
Keeping the air clean, fresh, and moving is a core part of this grow. Hereās how it flows:
š Extraction:
⢠Two 6-inch exhaust fans with carbon filters:
⢠AeroFan 6ā ā Controlled by TrolMaster Tent-X
⢠Spider Farmer 6ā ā Controlled by GGS Controller
⢠Both extract stale, warm air through carbon filters, scrubbing it clean and odor-free before it leaves the tent.
Intake:
⢠6-inch filtered intake fan constantly bringing in fresh, oxygen-rich air
ā Why Carbon Filters?
Even in veg, filters reduce:
⢠Dust & spores
⢠Unwanted scents
⢠Airborne pathogens
Itās not just about smell ā itās about clean air = healthy plants.
š¹ A video walkthrough is now included in the diary to show this airflow system in motion, stay tuned for a narrated version soon.

š§ Feeding This Week
The girls are still on the Aptus Veg Foundation Mix, focused on:
⢠Cellular strength
⢠Root expansion
⢠Balanced nutrient delivery
Feed Mix (per liter):
⢠Aptus Regulator ā 0.15 ml: Cellular support, heat resistance, uptake enhancer
⢠Aptus CalMag Boost ā 0.25 ml: Frame and photosynthesis building
⢠Aptus All-In-One Liquid ā 1 ml: Broad spectrum nutrition
⢠Aptus Start Booster ā 0.2 ml: Ongoing root + early leaf architecture support
š” Why keep Start Booster? Even at Week 4, it helps support the rapid branching phase and assists in developing feeder roots that stretch out horizontally.
āø»
š¼ Looking Ahead
Next week, weāll begin shifting the feed to support the pre-flower transition. Itās not flower time yet, but the plants will begin āaskingā for more energy and structural support soon. No rush, just flow.
Expect:
⢠More branching
⢠Thicker stems
⢠Early pre-flower signs (depending on light cycle)
Weāll be watching closely, letting the girls tell us when itās time.

š Itās Summer ā and So Is the Grow
The seasonal energy is flowing right into the tent. Life is pulsing. Roots are diving. Leaves are dancing in the air current. From animals outside to chlorophyll inside, everything is alive right now, and the Gelonade girls are right in rhythm.
This is the joy of veg: potential made visible.

š¬ Final Thoughts
This grow isnāt just about growing cannabis, itās about building systems, creating harmony, and telling the story of life through plants.
The Gelonade run is a flagship grow:
Precision gear, intentional care, vibrant phenos.
And above all, love in every step.
Weāre not just growing plants.
Weāre growing a garden of learning, beauty, and experience.
See you in Week 5 šæ
With leaflight and root-deep respect,
