In this week i removed a few big leaves to ensure the light exposure for the blossom. They look a bit naked now but they can focus the energy in the buds now and I‘m looking forward to harvest them in the next few weeks.

Mar 24: Watering till runoff now... runoff ppm was 2500+... Will be using very mild nutes to flush over 1 - 3 feeds... or until I am near my input. Mar 26: Continuing to use 650ppm feed with bloom focus, 2L per plant gives 15% runoff... Runoff ppm is still very high... I wanted to check pH of runoff but the color is so vibrant i cant use the pH drops to view color, need to get a pH probe. Plants are thriving, no issues at all. the extra fan fixed the post-water droop. One plant is bushy and has the most bud sites, One is the smallest but has the most uniform structure, this one has the biggest buds and thickest stalk, One is about in the middle of the 2. Mar 29: one of these girls gets droopy early when its time for water, thought the canopy was too high so i tied down some more, no cigar... gonna try increasing calmag, if that doesent work im going to reposition in the grow box to a side instead of middle, may not need the upper end ppfd...

✨ Fairytale Leaves & Phenotype Magic Welcome to flowering, where potential meets reality. Both Gelonade phenos are stepping into this new phase with vigor, balance, and beauty — but one of them is telling a very special story. 🍃 Pheno #2: The Leaf Dancer This pheno has leaves that defy convention — opening in a structure that resembles a human hand folding out from the palm, each finger unfurling in elegant rhythm. Imagine: • Three central “fingers” • Each outer one splitting into three more • Forming a seven-pointed star, nested within a trinity of growth It’s not a mutation that hinders — it’s a genetic flourish. A dance of symmetry, expression, and vitality. 🌿 These aren’t just leaves. They’re art. 🖼️ We’ve captured this in photos and video — no filter needed. Just nature doing its finest work. Plant Stats – Week 1 Flower / Week 5 from Seed: • Height: approximately 40 cm • Light Intensity (PPFD): 766 µmol/m²/s • Temperature: 31°C • Humidity: 50% • VPD: 2.23 kPa • EC: 0.6 • pH: 6.1 Despite slightly high temps and VPD, the girls are loving it. They’re adapting, stretching slightly, and showing excellent turgor and coloration. ⸻ 💧 Nutrition & Soil Strategy This run is driven by a super soil base, and it’s doing the heavy lifting. That’s why we’re keeping the water feed light and strategic. 💦 Current Feed (per liter): • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml → Strengthens cell walls, improves nutrient flow • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml → Supports structure and photosynthesis • Aptus Top Booster – 0.25 ml (new this week) → Prepares for flower, encourages early bloom structure ⚠️ No All-In-One Liquid now → The slow-release pellets in the soil cover the macro-nutrient demands. → This keeps EC low (~0.6) and prevents salt buildup. We’re letting the soil biome + amendments guide the bulk of nutrition. Water is a carrier, not a crutch. ⸻ Why Switch from Start Booster to Top Booster? Start Booster = roots & early leaf Top Booster = flower signal + potassium focus This switch marks the turning point: Roots are now established, and it’s time to nudge the girls toward blooming, gently and with precision. Top Booster also enhances: • Early bud site formation • Transition metabolism • Potassium availability for cell expansion ⸻ Gear Check Everything is tuned in and working in harmony: • Lights: Future of Grow LED + ThinkGrow Model One • Controllers: TrolMaster Tent-X + Spider Farmer GGS • Airflow: • Two 6” carbon-filtered exhaust fans • One 6” filtered intake • Controlled by both ecosystems All this tech = manual precision + automated consistency ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect Next We’re not seeing pistils yet, but the structure is shifting. Nodes are spacing. Branches are reaching. Energy is focusing upward. Here’s what we might expect in Week 2 Flower: • First signs of pistils • Shift in leaf texture • Possible terpene expression (early scent) • Stretch phase (up to 2x height) ⸻ The Fairytale of Pheno #2 Sometimes, a single plant will speak louder than others. Pheno #2 is doing just that, not with speed or size, but with shape, rhythm, and elegance. The leaves whisper a story: Of lineage, light, and mystery. Of something old reborn in a new form. Of a garden that listens, and a grower who sees. ⸻ 💚 Final Thoughts This isn’t just a grow. It’s a living exploration of genetics, care, and love. As the Gelonades move toward flower, we’re watching not just for yield, but for expression. For surprises. For beauty in all forms. Week 1 of flower is quiet, but underneath, everything is shifting. Let’s walk slowly. Observe closely. Love fully. And let’s see what Week 2 has to say 🌸 With love and green respect, DD (Dogdoctor) & The Gelonade Girls 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

She was ready to get topped! She looks so healthy and vital with enough internodal spacing - so I decided her 3-week anniversary after germinating is a good moment to take her top off. As a beautiful surprise, she has triple stalks at the fourth node, her new top, which will look super pretty when going into LST camp! Also, her lower stalks are already growing strong and long, giving me the feeling, she'll be a bushy lady.

Hey growmies! ✌️ Time for another update on the Frosty Tooth growing in the Minigrow One. We’re currently at day 19 since switching to the bloom phase, and the first signs of bud development are starting to show. The buds are still small, but it’s a promising start! The plant is staying incredibly compact, but the leaves are growing in abundance. To give her some breathing space, I had to do two rounds of heavy defoliation. The difference is already noticeable—she looks much tidier and healthier now. 🌱 I’m really curious to see how much she’ll stretch as the buds continue to develop. I’ve heard that the buds can grow so tall they almost touch the protective glass below the grow light without getting burned. Let’s put that to the test and see how far she can go! 😅

11/13 Started Super Cropping on Amy, Gina, and Rosa, Judy is just at her 4th node, so i reached the second node and twisted the stalk until I could feel the fiber break and then I bent the stalk in the direction that I will ultimately tie down in, not long enough yet to get to the edge of the pot. In an hour I checked on the girls and they were all back to normal. 11/14 Watered 500 mil 6.5 PH tied down Amy, Gina and Rosa, broke a leaf off of Amy while bending 11/15 Spritz with Yucca foliar spray reapplied LST girls are looking great really healthy and green 11/16 Reapplied LST and accidentally broke the main stem on Gina, decided to go ahead and top her since the break was at a node and impossible to tape, so I guess we are also testing topping as well as going Organic. Adjusted lights to 25 inches above Judy the shortest girl. Brewed up an Organic Tea using 1 Cup Nature's Living Soil Concentrate, 1 Cup EB Stone Earth Worm Casings, 1 Tablespoon Unsulphered Molasses, 1 Tablespoon Fish Meal with Kelp, let the tea brew for 18 hours. 11/17 Fed each girl 1 Liter of Compost Tea reapplied LST the thought is the plants are three weeks in the soil and are growing at a healthy pace (with the exception of Judy), I want to make sure they have enough food in the soil available to them now to take them to flower. Next week I will apply dry amendments and 2-8-8 fertilizer to be available that first week of flower. 11/18 Out of town so gave them a light spritz of Yucca before lights on and that's it. 11/19 Man one day without reapplying LST and it freaking shows!! I had to go to town and really work the stems back into shape, really started to figure out what I am actually trying to achieve with spreading the stems out to expose as many sites as possible and trying to get as even a canopy as possible. So at the end of it I had to Super Crop a few stems on Rosa that had grown a little too long, tied down the rest of her stems and tucked the large leaves as best as I could to get as many sites as possible exposed. Applied the same approach to Gina but since she was inadvertently topped little easier to do, also I can see since I fed them the Compost Tea Gina has bounced back from her chop and her leaves are upright and pointing to the light, the two new "main stems" are growing outward and are close to the Mesa that i am creating. Judy is the weird little runt with tight, tight nodes like she's hiding something.....Trudy Judy.....So I just bent her main down and moved the stems as best as I can, I would love to let her just do her thing but I also wanted to try ScrOG on this run but we'll see after next week. Amy, Amy, Amy my pouty princess I don't think she likes being shorter than Rosa because she's become almost shy, not as aggressive growth that she was showing before. Reapplied LST on her main and tucked leaves, also started defoliating some of the lower leaves off of her. I'm going to start plucking lower leaves off of all of the plants going forward to prepare them for the switch to flower. The girls are all showing their sex and I can safely say that they are all Ladies, I'm seeing pistils forming and sites starting to show. I soaked the ladies down with 1/4 tsp Nectar of the Gods Bloom Khaos and 16 oz PH 6.2 bottle. Checked back on them 3 hours later and all of their faces are pointing to the lights, the leaves look amazingly green with no noticeable deficiencies. The Ladybugs are going to town and I don't know what I'm more excited about the amazing growth of the girls or seeing a ladybug crawling on a leaf!

Welcome growers I have finished the tirth week of vegetation with this two BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE 🍰 They are always in a growbox, 120x90 (cm) with eight other ladyes of different genetics 🌿🌿🌿 One of the two still growing more vigorous with a big leafs and strong lower branches, compared to her sister...but we will see at the end wich one will be better 🏆 Aroma and taste are my goal 🔥 Anyway.. In the firsth day of this last week I have transplanted into a 3l plastic pot.. Usually my choice of pot is the smartpot or the airpot 💯 And therefore, considering that the soil will obviously remain less aerated than usual, I have chosen to use a greater quantity of coco coir in the substrate I roughly prepared a mix of 50% light-mix (Canna professional and Biobizz), a 30% of coco coir (Atami), 10% worm-cast or humus (Atami) and around a 5% perlite wich it's already present in the light -mix.. I have also put a few micorizzae (Micosat F), like 10 grams, in direct contact with the roots and around 4 grams of Microlife (Bionova) in pellet form I will use this last one also for making an areated Tea, but during flowering.. About nutrients 👇 In this week i have giving their always organic/veganic nutrients.. Root-juice (Biobizz) and Rizostimo (Biomagno) for the last time, plus a little bit of silicium (Bionova) and then Activator (Biomagno) / Crescita (Biomagno) / The Missing Link (Bionova) / X-Cell (Bionova) {This last two i have used in a foliar spray solution} Simply a little bit of everything at any watering 💧 About the lights 💡 I currently using for the first time, two Mars-Hydro SP3000, running at 25% of the power for now.. Next week im going to increase at least to 50% ⬆️ Onestly this lights looks pretty solid, definetly intense, with a spectrum really close ro the sun light One of the cool things about it it's that you can connected each one toghter with a cable and so you can controll the intensity of the lights very easy, in a precis way 👌 We will see in this months how they works And that's all.. See you at the end of week n°4 📆 Thanks a lot for reading, I hope you enjoyed 😎👍 FC ✌️ 🇮🇹

🌱 Day 57 - Start of the Second-to-Last Flowering Week 🌱 Hello, Grow Friends! Today marks the start of the second-to-last flowering week—Week 9 overall, and Week 5 of flowering. 🌿 I’m getting more and more excited as my first grow nears its end. As I approach harvest, I’ve decided, based on my research, to stop feeding nutrients and stick to just pH-adjusted water for the final two weeks. 💧⚖️ Watering Routine: I’ll keep the same watering schedule—1 liter every two days, which is about 10% of the pot volume. 🌱💧 This should be enough to flush out the remaining nutrients, ensuring a clean finish for the plant. Temperature & Humidity: The temperature remains stable between 19-23°C, which I believe is ideal for this stage of the grow. 🌡️🍂 No more high temperatures to worry about! The humidity is fluctuating between 45-58%, and I’m keeping a close eye on it to stay below 60%. 💧🔍 Everything seems on track for now. 🌿 Plant Health & Growth: The plant still looks very healthy overall. 🌱💪 However, I’ve noticed that in the past three days, there haven’t been any visible changes in the size of the buds. 🤔 It could just be that I’m not seeing the growth clearly, but the only noticeable change is the daily opening of new flower calyxes. 🌸 Harvest Preparation: I’m already getting my equipment ready for drying after harvest. 🛠️ Once it’s time to cut, I’ll be hanging the plant to dry for the first 10 days. 🌿✂️ I want to make sure everything is set for a smooth drying process. Stay tuned for more updates, and as always, daily photos of the plant will be posted! 📸🌱 Day 62 - Last-Minute Decisions with Urgent Changes 🌱 Hello, my grow friends! Due to the trichome pictures I took on Day 61—which you can check out too—I’ve made an unexpected decision to harvest my plant a bit earlier than planned and make some changes. 🌿 Watering and Flushing: The last time I watered was on Day 61, using all the usual nutrients at the doses I mentioned before. But after seeing the trichome pictures, I decided to start a light flush today. I gave the plant 4 liters of plain water to begin flushing and will now only water lightly on Day 64. After that, no more water until harvest on Day 67. 🌑 Dark Period: From Day 66 to Day 67, I plan to keep the plant in darkness. I’m not entirely sure if this will make a difference, but I’m curious to try it out. ✂️ Defoliation: The plant is doing well, and I’ve done a thorough defoliation. I removed all leaves that aren’t sugar leaves or directly attached to the buds to improve air circulation and reduce the risk of mold as I approach the end of the grow. 💭 Trimming Decisions: I’m still undecided about whether to do a wet trim or a dry trim. Based on what I’ve read, especially regarding the yield from trim, I’m leaning towards dry trimming, as it might give me more usable trim material. I can feel the plant entering its final phase, and I’m getting really excited about the results and what the next few days will bring. Remember, I post a video update every day. If you have any tips or suggestions, I’d love to hear them! Until next time! 🌱

My first grow was a rollercoster ride of emotions. Hope and worry have taken turns throuout the whole grow. Harvest day has finally come. I'm not so happy about the color of the trichomes. There are still too manny clear trichome heads, but the overall apearance of the plants made me think that maybe the plants are not able to ripen completely. The color of trichomes hasn't changes much in the last 2 weeks. I've been flushing for 3 weeks now, so there shouldnt be much nutrients left in the soil. All the leafs are yellow and rotting. Since I had budrot on Plant #2, I am worried to get more budrot through the rotting leafs. So I decided to harvest now, in order to save what I have grown so far. Yield: Plant #1: 532g (wet with stem) Plant #2: 475g (wet with stem, missing main cola due to budrot) I expect a yield of about 100 g of dried buds.

Nov 24 2022 Started LST last night, a tad late but no big issue I hope. Moved grow cycle time back and hour and a half. Light were shutting off at 12:00AM, I couldn't do consistent foliar spray at night (was in bed) Shifted to 10:30PM OFF, 4:30AM ON It was 12:00AM OFF and 6:00AM ON Plants are a vibrant green, thick strong main stem 5L Grow bags have arrived in the mail finally Nov 26, 2022 Watered and fed Tommy and Danny 1tbsp per 1L of water Both plants were bone dry 2 inches down

Commencing Week 8: day 50 on January 19th Update is late my sincerest apologies. I will make it up by giving a very thorough smoke report when all is done. Otherwise all is going very well 😁😁👏👏 On day 50 I took the head off of bloody skunk. I checked trichome colors under USB microscope. At least 90% fully milky-white with maybe 5 or 6% Amber and the remainder clear. 😁 On day 55 I gave all of the plants a fan leaf trim including the remaining bottom half of bloody skunk. as I sit here and think about it I believe this will help with ensuring the entire plant ripens and matures at the same time - versus the tops being ready before the bottoms. I still plan on letting the bottoms of all these plants go way beyond the recommended time to see if I can initiate the process of rodelization. Either way I am glad to report that Bloody skunks pollenization looks like it is resulting in some seeds. (See photo). In hindsight my only concern is that because the plant finished a bit earlier than I expected the seeds may not make it to full maturity but I believe it should be okay we'll just have to wait and find out. That being said besides the bloody skunk being done just a few days early everything else seems to be right on time as described in plant profiles on company websites.👍 That's all for now thank you for your patience and attention and support and as usual feel free to leave any suggestions comments or questions and I'll do my best to get back sooner rather than later 😁

Looking stupid fire. Clones I took never rooted😭🤦‍♂️🏽 Gonna have to re veg if I wanna keep
