๐ŸŒฑโœจ Gelonade โ€” Seed to Harvest & Smoke Review Grower: DogDoctor Strain: Gelonade (Feminized) Grow Type: Indoor (Tent โ€“ LED setup) Cycle Duration: ~13 weeks total (8โ€“9 weeks flowering) Phenotypes: #1 and #2 Environment: Controlled by TrolMaster Ecosystem Lighting: Future of Grow Black Series 600 & ThinkGrow Model 1 Medium: Super Soil (Aptus Holland Amendments) Nutrients: Aptus + Plagron Final Yields: โ€ข Pheno #1: 146g dry cured (Grove Bags) โ€ข Pheno #2: 159g dry cured (Glass Jars) โธป ๐ŸŒพ From Seed to Strength Our Gelonade journey began with delicate germination โ€” a simple soak in plain water using The Cannakan method, ensuring the seeds awakened slowly and evenly. After 24 hours, they sprouted into life, soon meeting their first home in rich, Aptus-enhanced super soil, carefully inoculated with mycorrhizae and buffered for perfect balance. As seedlings, they thrived under the Black Series 600 LED, their leaves drinking in the full-spectrum light like morning sun on a quiet field. Through their early weeks, the mix of Regulator, Start Booster, and tender care built strong frames and healthy roots. Week after week, they evolved โ€” into vegetative vigor, then into flowering elegance. Their structure hinted at their genetics: 60% sativa, 40% indica โ€” tall, branching, graceful, yet dense. Pheno #2 became our unicorn, flaunting her funky fox-tailed buds and mutated, hand-like leaves โ€” a masterpiece of natureโ€™s playful genetics. โธป ๐ŸŒผ The Flowering Weeks By week 5 flower, the room bloomed with energy. PPFD at 766 ยตmol/mยฒ/s, temperatures near 31ยฐC, and VPD around 2.2 โ€” conditions that might challenge weaker genetics, but Gelonade only glowed brighter. We refined her diet: โ€ข Aptus Regulator โ€“ 0.15 ml/L โ€ข Aptus CalMag Boost โ€“ 0.25 ml/L โ€ข Aptus All-In-One Liquid โ€“ 1 ml/L โ€ข Aptus Top Booster โ€“ 0.25 ml/L โ€ข Plagron Power Buds, Sugar Royal & Green Sensation โ€“ 1 ml/L each This powerful synergy built not just flowers โ€” but living sculptures of resin, terpenes, and color. The TrolMaster WCS2 sensors read the heart of the soil โ€” moisture, EC, and temperature โ€” guiding every watering and feeding to perfect rhythm. โธป ๐Ÿƒ The Science of Drying โ€” Why Whole Plants Harvest came at week 12โ€“13 total, roughly 8โ€“9 weeks in flower. The girls stood proud, covered in trichomes, signaling it was time. We harvested whole plants, hanging them upside down in the dark to dry slowly โ€” preserving terpenes and chlorophyll breakdown naturally. Why full-plant drying? Because leaving the plant intact slows the drying process. The inner moisture in stems and leaves redistributes evenly, preventing harsh chlorophyll notes. This method also preserves volatile terpenes โ€” especially important for Gelonadeโ€™s citrus-forward profile. It took two full weeks before the branches โ€œsnapped,โ€ a sign of perfect dryness โ€” the balance between crispness and internal moisture. โธป โœ‚๏ธ The Art of Hand Trimming Once dry, we trimmed with Zamnesia curved professional scissors, our Trim Bin, and โ€” most importantly โ€” our hands. Why hand trim? Because machines can never see what the eyes feel โ€” the perfect curl of a sugar leaf, the trichome sparkle worth saving. Hand trimming keeps the resin glands intact, preserving aroma, texture, and bag appeal. Itโ€™s slower, but sacred โ€” the final love letter between grower and flower. The trim collected beneath the bin was later pressed gently into hash bars using a hot-water bottle method โ€” pure pressure and warmth, no solvent. The science: The heat softens trichome heads (resin glands), allowing them to fuse together under pressure โ€” forming a natural, terpene-rich concentrate. โธป ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ The Curing โ€” Glass Jars vs Grove Bags After trimming, we divided our treasures: โ€ข Pheno #1 (146g) cured in Grove Bags โ€“ a modern, low-maintenance solution that self-regulates humidity (~62%), keeping buds stable and fresh without constant burping. โ€ข Pheno #2 (159g) cured in Glass Jars โ€“ the traditional, hands-on approach. We burped the jars daily during the first two weeks, allowing gas exchange and flavor maturation. Science of curing: Curing continues the slow enzymatic breakdown of residual sugars and chlorophyll, smoothing the smoke and deepening terpenes. The difference? Glass develops depth โ€” that old-school flavor complexity โ€” while Grove Bags preserve freshness and consistency. Both are beautiful paths to perfection. โธป ๐ŸŒบ Genetics & Aromas โ€” The Gelonade Signature Gelonade is a masterpiece of Lemon Tree ร— Gelato #41, combining sweet citrus brightness with creamy dessert undertones. The aroma: Sweet citrus candy, tangy lemon zest, and a whisper of black pepper. The flavor: Like sipping lemonade through a gelato cloud โ€” refreshing, smooth, and joyfully bright. โธป ๐Ÿ’จ Smoke Review โ€” The Dream in a Dream Lighting the first cured bowl was like opening a memory. The smoke is silky, expanding gently in the lungs. The taste starts citrusy-sweet, then mellows into earthy vanilla-pepper. The high? A sunrise in slow motion โ€” uplifting, creative, euphoric. Happiness washes in waves, followed by peace that lingers in the chest. Perfect daytime medicine, yet balanced enough for evening reflection. Pheno #1 brings clarity and laughter; Pheno #2 brings stillness and grace. Together, they mirror duality โ€” the head and the heart in perfect balance. โธป ๐ŸŒฟ Closing Reflections From seed to harvest, this grow has been a story of learning, patience, and passion. Every leaf told a story, every sensor reading a verse, every trichome a spark of life. Thank you to the community, to Zamnesia, Aptus Holland, Plagron, TrolMaster, and all who share love for the craft. And thank you to the haters, too โ€” because growth blooms brightest through resistance. This grow was more than cultivation. It was a dream in a dream.

The week ends Sunday Mar-1, being day 61 of flowering since flipping the light. From first pistils shown, it's day 45 which is a more accurate snapshot of where the plants actually are in their maturity. The buds development is progressing albeit slowly and trichomes are still clear across the canopy with lots of frost on the sugar leaves. The buds have beautiful structure and quite fluffy. Swelling has started on some calyxes. Light is maintained at 30cm above the canopy, with single daily fertigation at lights on - watering 3L per day. Fertigation pH target is 5.9-6.2 whilst flowering. Stopped the practice of fertigating at lights off due to the springtales infestation. Need to allow at least 2-4hrs of lights on period after fertigation. The coco is not dry but still damp on the surface after 24hrs from fertigation. Trying to maintaining an average RH in the space at 50% but it's getting harder now with all flowers. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The grow setup includes; - Secret Jardin DS120W tent (120cm x 60cm x 180cm) placed inside the bedroom. Passive & active intake of air is from a closed off section of the room where the central heating boiler sits - the intake is warm air (20 degC.) and fairly dry (40% RH) during the winter months. - Mars Hydro SP250 LED light - extraction fan - AC Infinity Cloudline T6 - ventilation fans - aquarium heater - small oil heater - small dehumidifier - 20L Airpots and 3.5L general pots for seedling stage - Canna Coco substrate and nutrients - GHE Flora trio nutrients - pH and EC/TDS meters - 2x Govee Thermo/Hygro meters (one at canopy the other at the roots level)

Blue Cheese, smelling pungent, nice sweet musky smell.. Can definitely tell it's cheese. Day 52 today, started her flush on day 50 and will take her to at least day 64/65 giving her a 14/15 day flush, maybe longer but i'll see. Slight nute burn that i'm aware of but nothing overly major, doing really well otherwise. Can't wait to try this one. Thanks for following along people. Stay tuned

woot woot the flowers are stating to come in and wow what a differnce the new ACCURATE ph meter made, was something I wanted for a while but didnt make the purchase. My old $50 meter was off by .27 even right after calibration!!!!! I can only imagine how much it drifted after a week or two, very happy with the $120 tester, I reads almost instantly and is very precise. I started co2 this week and switched to flower nutes.

It has started the fattening :) Started feeding some sugars with Top Candy, and feedind schedule now is : Feeding every irrigation, Top Bloom 3 ml/l until now, and alternating Top Candy each two irrigations.. but i will modify the dose regarding the plant aspect so im going to update this week too, this is the first day of it, so it is a fattening week lets see what she can do, at the moment it is really stinky, and started to smell sweet too :) Really insane feeding, im feeding 3ml/2ml every irrigation at the moment because the plant wants so, so im expecting a nice weight increment. Suffered aphids uprising, attacked a lot of plants including my tomatoes, they always around here.... They were attacking the shady side of the leaves so had to use some Neurdoff, an Insecticide and Acaricide suitable for organic growning, it kill the aphids instantly with contact... Mix it but instead of apply it on the buds, dipped my fingers and clean carefully ALL of the leaves to keep the infestation away, and it worked, at the moment (whent took last photos) no diseases or insects ^^

Week 1 of veg was a tough one. In the middle of updating my grow tent gear, i stumbled upon hardship with the young ladies. The first days was with my old LED light, and when i switched to the new light, they suffered from light burn and high temps adjusting it. They are looking crusty, but we will get through it. ๐Ÿ‘‰29/8 With Viparspectra V300 Lights ๐Ÿ‘‰30/8 Viparspectra V300 ๐Ÿ‘‰31/8 Switch from Viparspectra V300 to Lumatek 300W Pro ๐Ÿ‘‰1/9 Adjusting temps, hanging height and applying new gadgets. ๐Ÿ‘‰2/9 First signs of too high temps/light burn. Closely monitering and adjusting to keep temps down. ๐Ÿ‘‰3/9 Solution day, maybe too late. Temps are manageable and lights on low setting for low stress. ๐Ÿ‘‰4/9 Recovery. Temps: Day 27 - 30 ambient / 21-23 night (Still adjusting climate to the new light) RH%: 65.5-68.5 night / 68.5 - 71.5 day PH: 6.3
