DogDoctorOfficial 🌱 Germination Report: Gelonade by Zamnesia Seeds
Grower: Dogdoctor
Type: Feminized
Location: Indoor – Grow Tent under LED Lighting
Series: New Series Coming Soon – Follow on YouTube! 🎥✨
⸻
Genetics Overview
Strain: Gelonade
Breeder: Zamnesia Seeds
Seeds Germinated: 3
Method: The Cannakan – with plain water
⸻
🌱 Germination Method – The Cannakan
For this run, the seeds were germinated using the Cannakan, a sleek and purpose-built tool for seed starting. No paper towels, no guesswor, just clean water and optimal conditions.
• Water only was used in the Cannakan — no additives or nutrients at this stage.
• All three Gelonade seeds showed early signs of life within 48 hours, with healthy taproots emerging.
Once the taproots were established, the seeds were carefully transplanted into soil for the next phase.
⸻
💧 Transplant & Root Boost
During transplant into soil, a light nutrient blend was introduced to support early development:
• Aptus Regulator – Enhances stress resistance, nutrient uptake, and cell structure.
• Aptus Start Booster – Promotes vigorous root growth and beneficial microbial life in the soil.
This combination creates an ideal environment for seedlings to thrive in the first few days above ground.
Within 24 hours of transplant, all three seedlings broke the surface — vibrant, upright, and eager to grow.
⸻
🌟 Results
✅ 100% Germination Success
All three seeds germinated smoothly and transitioned into soil with no issues.
For this grow, two of the best performers will be selected and carried forward based on early vigor and structure.

DogDoctorOfficial Week 1 – Vegetative Stage
Strain: Gelonade
Grower: Dogdoctor
Type: Feminized
Environment: Indoor Tent | LEDs (Future Of Grow – Black Series 600)
⸻
🌱 Overview
The Gelonade girls have officially entered their first week of veg, and even though they’re still in that tiny, ultra-fragile stage, they’re already showing life and promise.
All three plants are developing steadily, with two of them well on their way to producing the third pair of true leaves. One is a little slower, with some slight funkiness in the leaf structure , but we’ll give her time, care, and observation. As always: no rush, no stress, just patient growing.
💧 Feeding & Watering Strategy
We’ve continued with the same gentle nutrient recipe as used during transplant, a light and supportive mix from Aptus Holland:
• Regulator – 1 ml/L
• Start Booster – 1 ml/L
Why This Mix?
• Regulator supports structural strength, stress resistance, and overall nutrient efficiency.
• Start Booster focuses on root stimulation and microbial activation in the soil, crucial at this young age.
This combo ensures the plants get just enough support without overwhelming their delicate early root systems.
Watering Method:
We’re watering from the bottom, using tray absorption.
Why?
This encourages the roots to reach downward in search of moisture, promoting stronger, deeper development. It also reduces the risk of damping-off or overwatering from the top, keeping the soil surface lightly aerated and preventing stress.
The plants absorb only what they need, and that kind of independence early on builds a better root zone.
💡 Light & Environment
The babies are thriving under the Future Of Grow Black Series 600, a serious LED panel delivering a full, rich spectrum that supports both vegetative strength and tight internodal spacing.
This light isn’t just bright, it’s precise, with diodes that offer exactly what young plants crave:
• Cool whites and blues for leaf development
• Balanced reds for early energy conversion
• Deep spectrum tuning that keeps everything compact and controlled
So far, the girls are loving it. Internodes are tight, colors are rich, and they’re standing tall and relaxed, no stretch, no stress.
🔍 This Week: What Is & What’s Not
✅ What’s Going Well:
• Strong germination and transplant success
• Steady leaf progression
• Healthy posture and color under LED
• Excellent response to bottom watering and light feed
⚠️ What We’re Watching:
• One slightly slower plant with unusual early leaf shape
• Monitoring growth speed and rooting uniformity
• Keeping an eye on VPD and soil temps (as always)
🔮 Expectations Moving Forward
As we enter Week 2, we’ll begin gradually adjusting the nutrient program, shifting focus toward growth support rather than just root initiation. We’ll evaluate the weaker plant to decide whether she stays in the main lineup or becomes a side experiment.
We’re not in a hurry. This week is about foundation building, careful observation, slow strengthening, and giving these Gelonade plants exactly what they need to take off.
💬 Final Thoughts
Week 1 has been a quiet but crucial moment, tiny leaves, tiny roots, but huge potential. With the Aptus support and the powerful-yet-gentle lighting from Future Of Grow, we’re cultivating not just plants, but a system of resilience, harmony, and understanding.
As always, we grow with intention.
We observe, we adjust, we trust the process.
Stay tuned, my friends, this is just the beginning 🌱✨
With deep roots and bright canopy,
DD

DogDoctorOfficial Week 2 – Roller Coster Haze (Zamnesia Seeds)
Settling In – Letting Them Lead
Week 2 brings a shift in energy — not yet transplant time, but a week of quiet growth and careful observation. Our Roller Coster Haze girls are growing at their own pace, and this is their space to settle, root deeper, and continue establishing themselves. Each plant is showing personality now, and next week we’ll be deciding who stays and who continues to the final pot. But for now, we wait, we watch, we support.
⸻
Feeding Focus – Light and Targeted Support
This week, our main intervention has been through watering, gentle and precise. We’ve been using the bottom-watering method, placing water in the tray beneath the pots to let the soil absorb upward through capillary action. This continues to promote root exploration and vertical growth while maintaining the top layer dry to help prevent early-stage pathogens.
Watering Solution (Aptus Nutrients):
• Regulator: 0.25 ml/L
• CalMag Boost: 0.25 ml/L
• All-in-One Liquid: 1 ml/L
• Start Booster: 0.2 ml/L
Watering Stats:
• EC: 1.01
• pH: 5.83
• Water Temp: 18.5°C
No runoff — just enough to moisten the medium and encourage the roots to follow the moisture down.
⸻
Environmental Conditions – Balanced & Clean
We’ve kept the room comfortable and consistent, helping the plants adjust without stress:
• Room Temperature: 27°C
• Relative Humidity: 57.4%
• CO₂ Levels: 632 ppm
Still under fog for now, but we’re preparing to bring in the ThinkGrow Model One LEDs soon, expanding the light coverage as the room continues to fill out with other genetics sharing this 8x8 space.
⸻
Looking Ahead – Selection & Transplant on the Horizon
While no transplant this week, we’re preparing for it. The girls are being evaluated for health, structure, and root development. Next week will be the moment to select the strongest two and move them into their final 11-liter fabric pots.
Until then, it’s about patience. We’re letting them tell us when they’re ready.
⸻
Final Notes – Strength in Stillness
Sometimes the most important thing you can do for your plants is simply not to interfere. This week was all about that — letting them settle, observing gently, and supporting through balance. Transplant is coming soon, but for now, the message is: let them be.
Let’s grow together,
– DD (DogDoctorOfficial)

DogDoctorOfficial Week 3 Veg – Transplant Time, System Prep & Roots in Focus
Strain: Gelonade
Grower: Dogdoctor
Type: Feminized
Environment: Indoor Tent | LEDs | Dual Controlled Airflow
⸻
🌱 Overview
This week marked a key transition in the Gelonade grow:
Transplant into final 11L fabric pots,
Environmental tuning,
TrolMaster ecosystem preparation,
… and most of all: the official selection of the two chosen phenos that will move forward into flower.
The girls are thriving. Roots are looking stunning. Leaves are proud and full. The journey deepens, and we’re ready.
⸻
🌿 Selected Phenotypes
After careful observation, Gelonade #1 and Gelonade #2 were chosen as the lead phenos for the full grow journey. Both exhibited:
• Strong early structure
• Balanced leaf symmetry
• Vigor and resilience in early veg
• Root density and color that promised excellent transplant response
All three looked beautiful, but these two earned the spotlight. ✨
⸻
Soil Mix & Nutrient Support
We prepared a specialized super soil mix enriched with high-quality biological amendments from Aptus Holland to give the girls everything they need for explosive veg.
Transplant Mix:
• Super soil base
• Aptus Mycor-Mix – to inoculate roots with beneficial mycorrhizae for symbiotic nutrient exchange
• Aptus Micro-Mix – full-spectrum microbes and bacteria to build a thriving root biome
• Aptus Substrate Buffer Powder – stabilizes pH, locks in ideal nutrient availability
💧 Feed Mix (per liter of water):
• Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml: Cellular armor, nutrient flow, anti-stress shield
• Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml: For foundational frame building
• Aptus All-In-One Liquid – 1 ml: Core NPK and micro blend
• Aptus Start Booster – 2 ml: Encourages new root branching and initial canopy formation
🌊 Water Stats:
• pH: 5.83
• EC: 1.01
• Water Temp: 18.5°C
⸻
Fabric Pots – Why We Use Them
The girls were transplanted into 11-liter Amnesia fabric pots. Why fabric?
• Air pruning: As roots reach the edges, they hit air, which stops circular binding and encourages lateral branching.
• Oxygenation: Roots receive more oxygen through the breathable fabric, boosting metabolism.
• Drainage: No soggy bottoms here. Fabric pots keep your medium airy and prevent overwatering issues.
These are the final pots — no further transplants will be done. From here, the girls can stretch, root, and build freely.
⸻
Airflow & Filtration
A strong root system needs strong air too. This week we’ve been dialing in our environment with dual extractor/intake systems:
🌀 Airflow Setup:
• 2x 6-inch extractors:
• TrolMaster Aerofan 6” – controlled by the TrolMaster system
• Spider Farmer 6” – managed by the GGS controller
• 1x 6-inch intake fan with carbon filter
🌫️ Why Carbon Filters (Even Early On)?
• Odor control is obvious — but more than that, they filter airborne particles, spores, and contaminants, keeping air pure and clean, even during early veg.
• Healthy air = happy leaves = fast growth.
⸻
🔧 TrolMaster Ecosystem – Automation Incoming
While everything is still being hand-watered, we’re preparing to connect the full grow to the TrolMaster system:
• Environmental control (humidity, temp, VPD)
• Light cycle syncing
• Fan response automation
• Future irrigation control for specific zones
Not all plants will be automated, we’re keeping some fully manual to compare growth responses. That’s the Dogdoctor way: grow, observe, experiment, evolve.
⸻
📸 Media & Studio Time
The girls were looking so stunning, we took them into the studio for a proper photoshoot. These are living models — vibrant, proud, and photogenic. Likely we’ll do another shoot next week, before they get too large to safely move.
Expect high-gloss glamour and leaf-candy content.
⸻
🌿 What to Expect (and Not) After Transplant
✅ Expect:
• Slight temporary slowdown (1–2 days max)
• New root tips forming within 48–72 hours
• Visible growth surge as roots expand into fresh soil
• Fuller, wider leaf spacing
❌ Don’t Expect (yet):
• Explosive top growth right away — they’ll focus on the roots first
• Stretching — we’re still under strong LEDs with great internodal control
Let the roots build the temple, and the temple will grow.
⸻
📊 Environmental Conditions
• Room Temp: 27°C
• Humidity: 57.4%
• CO₂: 632 ppm
• Lighting: Future of Grow Black Series 600 LED
• Delivering full-spectrum brilliance — tight internodes, deep greens, and radiant health.
⸻
💬 Final Thoughts
Transplant week is always a sacred moment in a grow, a rite of passage from childhood to adolescence. The Gelonade girls are ready. Their roots are strong, their stems are proud, and their leaves are glowing with promise.
This week was a blend of precision and love, preparing systems, mixing soil by hand, and honoring the natural rhythm of growth.
From here on out, it’s about watching, adjusting, and letting nature lead.
Let’s grow something unforgettable.
With soil on our hands and stars in our eyes,
DD 🌿

DogDoctorOfficial 🌿 Gelonade – Week 4 Veg
Grower: Dogdoctor
Strain: Gelonade (Zamnesia Seeds)
Type: Feminized
Environment: Indoor Tent | Dual Zone | Full Spectrum LED | Full Control Ecosystem
⸻
🌱 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 that’s filling out beautifully.
• Stems are strong, upright, and thickening nicely
• Leaves are broad, vibrant, and reaching
• Internodal spacing is tight — 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 let’s just say… they’re already stars. 🌟
⸻
🔧 Gear Check – Ecosystem in Harmony
This grow is powered by tech and intention, a custom environment designed for precision and balance. Let’s break it down.
💡 Lighting:
We’re running dual light ecosystems in an expanded 8x8 grow area:
• Future of Grow – 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
🌞 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 — feeding live data from sensors throughout the space:
• CO₂ Sensor – Ensures levels stay in the ideal range for vigorous veg
• Temp/Humidity Sensor – Live VPD adjustments and historical tracking
• PPFD Sensor – 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.
⸻
🌬️ Airflow & Filtration
Keeping the air clean, fresh, and moving is a core part of this grow. Here’s how it flows:
🔁 Extraction:
• Two 6-inch exhaust fans with carbon filters:
• AeroFan 6” – Controlled by TrolMaster Tent-X
• Spider Farmer 6” – 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
❓ Why Carbon Filters?
Even in veg, filters reduce:
• Dust & spores
• Unwanted scents
• Airborne pathogens
It’s not just about smell — it’s about clean air = healthy plants.
📹 A video walkthrough is now included in the diary to show this airflow system in motion, stay tuned for a narrated version soon.
⸻
💧 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 – 0.15 ml: Cellular support, heat resistance, uptake enhancer
• Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml: Frame and photosynthesis building
• Aptus All-In-One Liquid – 1 ml: Broad spectrum nutrition
• Aptus Start Booster – 0.2 ml: Ongoing root + early leaf architecture support
💡 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.
⸻
🌼 Looking Ahead
Next week, we’ll begin shifting the feed to support the pre-flower transition. It’s not flower time yet, but the plants will begin “asking” for more energy and structural support soon. No rush, just flow.
Expect:
• More branching
• Thicker stems
• Early pre-flower signs (depending on light cycle)
We’ll be watching closely, letting the girls tell us when it’s time.
⸻
🌞 It’s Summer – 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.
⸻
💬 Final Thoughts
This grow isn’t just about growing cannabis, it’s 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.
We’re not just growing plants.
We’re growing a garden of learning, beauty, and experience.
See you in Week 5 🌿
With leaflight and root-deep respect,

DogDoctorOfficial ✨ 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
