Esta semana la planta ha tenido un desarrollo muy elevado las fotos y videos los hice después de una poda hace 12 horas aproximadamente 🙏 Esperamos una semana más y creo que podemos mandar a florar la planta 🙏 No veo presencia de ácaros pulgones o alguna Plaga que afecte actualmente a mi planta ya que se hacen controles de estos una vez a la semana con distintos productos por aspersión 🙏 detállare un poco más adelante 🙏

Today is day 32 of bud for these ladies. They are are swelling up good and put on a lot of resin. I’m very excited for this harvest. That’s because these ladies each have there own person Tropic smell to them. The OG is kinda orange cream soda terps. The melato almost has a coconut terp profile to it. And the Trainwreck smells like some kind of wild berry. So I’m definitely glad I got clones form each of these so I can run them again next round. Except for the OG. I have them their last feeding in week 4 on around day 29. I just did a top dress of bio live and rose and flower by down to earth. Anyways thanks for checking out the garden. Make sure to go to my page and check out my other grow journals.🤙

Week 15 From Seed | Lemon Cherry Gelato 🍋🍒 | Drying, Trimming & Curing Begins Well… Here we are again 😄 Another chapter of this Lemon Cherry Gelato run officially closes, and honestly, this update feels like the moment where the entire grow finally becomes “real medicine.” First of all, once again, apologies for dividing the harvest into multiple reports lately. I know the updates have been stretched across several weeks, but honestly… with the amount of documentation, photos, macros, videos, trimming sessions, resin collection, curing observations, and extraction experiments we have been doing lately, trying to compress everything into a single update would almost feel disrespectful to the process itself. And this run deserves the proper attention. So for everyone arriving now, quick recap: These Lemon Cherry Gelato girls were grown entirely under 12/12 from seed. No traditional vegetative phase. No massive training sessions. No giant bush shaping. Just letting the genetics express themselves naturally while documenting the process from beginning to end. And what these girls became honestly surprised me. Compact plants. Thick trunks. Heavy branches. Dense stacking. Ridiculous resin production. And some seriously loud terpene expression. The previous report reflected harvest itself: - the fade, - the structure, - broken branches, - resin-covered fingers, - hanging flowers, - drying environment, - and all the beautiful chaos surrounding harvest week. This report becomes the next important stage: Drying. Trimming. Finger hash. Final flower preparation. And the beginning of cure. The girls dried for roughly 10 days under controlled conditions: - around 18–20°C, - roughly 60% RH, - with the first couple of days slightly lower around 45% to help surface moisture leave the flowers safely before stabilizing the room again. And honestly… the dry came out beautifully. Dense flowers like these always make growers slightly nervous during drying because chunky buds can trap moisture surprisingly easily. But breaking the plants into branches instead of hanging full plants ended up being absolutely the right decision here. The branches slowly reached that perfect moment growers wait for: not snapping aggressively… not bending softly… …but that beautiful little “click.” That tiny sound telling you: “Okay. It’s time.” So naturally… Mr. Baggy joined the trimming session 😄 Studio lights on. Trim bin ready. Scissors ready. Music playing. Gloves on. And branch by branch, these girls slowly transformed into jars full of finished medicine. And honestly? These plants were absurdly sticky. Not just frosty visually. Actually greasy. The kind of resin that keeps building layer after layer on the gloves until eventually you stop trimming for a moment and realize you accidentally created little hash sculptures on your fingertips again 😄 Which brings us to one of the best parts of this report: Finger hash. Or more specifically in this stage: classic trimming resin collected during dry manicure. Every session slowly left behind beautiful sticky resin on the gloves and fingers, and instead of wasting it, everything got collected carefully with patience and love. And wow… These girls made AMAZING finger hash. Soft. Oily. Extremely workable. Instantly greasy with just body heat alone. No aggressive heat needed. No real pressure needed. Just the warmth from the hands was enough to start transforming the resin into beautiful little temple balls almost immediately. That alone already says a lot about resin quality. We even documented the full process: - trim collection, - kief separation, - resin handling, - pressing, - shaping, - and the final little temple balls. And honestly, seeing the transformation from loose resin into a perfectly smooth little sphere never gets old. There’s something deeply satisfying and strangely ancient about it. The final dry numbers honestly made me extremely happy too: Plant 1: 304.5 grams dry trimmed flower. Plant 2: 163.5 grams dry trimmed flower. Total: 468 grams of dry cured manicured medicine. And for a 12/12-from-seed run? That’s honestly fantastic. Especially considering how compact these plants actually were physically. Small-ish structure… massive output. Exactly the kind of run that keeps teaching you not to judge plants purely by height. The flowers themselves turned out gorgeous: - dense, - compact, - extremely resinous, - loud aroma, - beautiful coloration, - swollen calyxes, - and surprisingly heavy for their size. The terpene profile already started evolving beautifully during trimming too. That loud fresh-harvest sharpness slowly began softening into something deeper and sweeter: - creamy citrus, - candy-like fruit, - gas, - soft cherry sweetness, - earthy backend notes, - and occasional creamy dessert-like moments depending on the jar. And this is where curing now becomes incredibly important. Because harvest is not the finish line. Curing is where flowers slowly begin becoming complete. For storage and cure, we decided to use both: - traditional glass jars, - and Grove Bags. And honestly, both have their strengths. Glass jars remain timeless: simple, effective, reliable, beautiful for long-term observation and burping routines. Meanwhile Grove Bags bring modern humidity-control technology into the process and honestly make maintaining stable curing conditions dramatically easier when used properly. The idea is not “one replacing the other.” It’s more about understanding different tools and seeing how each behaves over time. And speaking of beautiful details… Huge thank you to Zamnesia for the gorgeous storage jars with the engraved lid design because honestly… they look incredible 😄 Little details matter. Especially during cure. Because curing becomes ritualistic in a strange way: opening jars, checking aromas, observing moisture, feeling texture changes, watching flowers slowly mature week after week. The medicine almost feels alive during this phase. We also included: - trimming timelapses, - resin handling, - branch breakdowns, - finger hash photos, - hanging flower shots, - studio trimming moments, - and a bunch of closeups because honestly these girls deserved proper documentation until the very end. And next week… Next week becomes the final chapter. Smoke review. Full cure review. Flavor translation from smell to smoke. Effect profile. Breakdown texture. Ash quality. Terpene evolution. Final impressions. And the real question: How did this Lemon Cherry Gelato actually become as medicine after all this time? Because now the grow part is mostly over. What remains is experience. And honestly… that’s the most important part. Huge thank you once again: - Zamnesia, - Plagron, - the LEDs, - all the gear involved, - GrowDiaries, - the community, - the old followers, - the silent supporters, - the curious new visitors, - and everyone spending even a few minutes following these updates. And of course… Thank you Mr. Baggy 😄💙 He survived another trimming session somehow. See you all in the final chapter 🌱

Nov 13 - Day 94 - More bulking up, girls are holding water longer. Watered Older plant at 7.45PM. Started defoliating withered leaves with trichomes, I'm keeping those for now, and will combine with bubble hash trim. Nov 14 - Day 95 - Both pots aren't super light so I'll wait until tomorrow and water both at the same time. Starting to think about drying and harvest, I suspect there to be a fortnight between each harvest - but unsure if I can afford the tent space with next run growing. I think I'll water either as lights turn off (if humidity wont rise) or first thing on Nov 15. Nov 14 - Trichomes are milky with the speckle of clear and amber. Lets hope the lagging cola fattens up in the week to come. Nov 14 - WATERED Younger plant at 10.30PM. Nov 15 - Watered Older plant at 3PM Nov 16 - Watered Younger plant at 5PM Nov 17 - Woke up to 80F. Likely at higher temp for 1 hour before noticing. Defoliated a few leaves, including one or two with trichomes, of which I've saved. Nov 18 - Watered Older plant at 6AM. Younger plant pot is light at lights off- will water first thing in the morning. Also removed dead tips and accidentally chopped a healthy fan leaf. I was hoping to chop today, but it might be another week before the younger plant is ready. Nov 19 - DAY 100 - Watered Younger plant at 10.30AM. Trichomes are developing nicely, I suspect 1 more week with younger plant which makes me wonder when to chop older plant.

Really happy about last week. They got very little first pre flowers, but I don't think they will be really flowering this fast. They gained a little height and the smell increased a little bit.

Hello, fin de semaine 5, semaine 1 de floraison. Les plantes se portent très bien. Elles ont bien récupérées de la défoliation de la semaine précédente. Je viens de les passer en 12/12. Le stretch se fait bien. Je me rend juste compte que j’ai mit trop de plantes je pense. Elles commencent à être un peu à l’étroit. Mais rien de méchant. Voilà c’est tout pour cette semaine. Happy grow...😎

I am a day early but I am in the flower room and figured I would go ahead and update. The girls are still pushing along. Sweet smell, very sweet with a bit of berry at this stage. Branches have been leaning for awhile now, but I came into a room with a couple bent over but luckily not broken. Who am I kidding... I would have done a quick dry and enjoyed an early taste. Week 7 is done at lights out and I will be 1 week from the early side of Barney's flowering window. I will be checking trichomes regularly from here on out looking for the signal that these girls are done. I am uploading a quick video. I hope it turns out as good as it looks on my phone.. You know that you want to click that like button.. 😇 Edit: Been dropping night time temps and the dark colors are coming out. More so in the lowers but the tops are coming along.

She has become a beautiful little bush full of fat dense nuggets completely covered in fruity and sweet resin glands with some purple no tones in the buds. Love It!
