Plagron Seedbooster Plus did the trick; all 3 of my Green Gelato seeds from Royal Queen Seeds sprouted after 3 days in soil. In above photo's you'll also see my Plagron feeding schedule. I think I'll veg them 2 weeks longer but couldn't select 8 weeks in the Plagron Nutrient Calculator (I hope they'll change that for the future since a 60 day veg is quite normal). But on the other hand, I think feeding in the last 2 weeks of veg will be the same as week 6.

The Flowers grow fast

Here we go into flower. If what they say is true, we're in for a nice color show.

🍒 Lemon Cherry Gelato — Week 4 Update Autoflower · 12/12 from seed Quick recap (for anyone joining here) This Lemon Cherry Gelato has been grown 12/12 from seed, alongside photoperiod plants, under the same exact conditions. At this stage, we’re still observing how modern autoflower genetics can blur traditional lines — and once again, this plant is behaving more like a classic photoperiod in structure and rhythm. No rush. No force. Just observation. ⸻ 🌿 Plant Development She’s doing beautifully: • Currently at 6–7 nodes • Strong, even branching • Internodal spacing is balanced • Leaf color is a lush, healthy green • Structure is open and expressive No real training has been applied: • Only very light leaf bending here and there • No topping, no LST, no stress • The plant is shaping herself naturally — and doing a great job at it She looks calm, confident, and full of potential. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment Log — Week 4 (Shared Conditions) Same conditions as logged for all plants this week: • Temperature: ~25.7 °C • Relative Humidity: ~60% • CO₂: ~666 ppm • PPFD: 600–700 (adjusted naturally based on plant size and distance to light) • Nutrition & watering: unchanged, consistent, identical across the room This consistency is key — it allows us to clearly see genetic expression, not environmental noise. ⸻ 🧠 Observations & Notes What’s especially interesting here is how stable and photoperiod-like this autoflower appears: • No sudden flowering push yet • Vegetative structure continues to build • Growth rhythm matches the non-autoflowers closely At this point, labels matter less than behavior — and her behavior is excellent. ⸻ 🙏 Thank You A big thank-you to everyone following along, supporting, and appreciating the process. This diary is about learning together, observing without ego, and letting the plant speak. She’s shining — quietly, confidently, beautifully 💚 FOR DISCOUNT CODES AND MORE JUST FOLLOW THE LINK https://website.beacons.ai/dogdoctorofficial 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

We’ll try to upload the remaining photos next week. If possible, we’ll add them alongside the weekly update and clearly mark them as extra images. Plenty of photos are already live though, so we hope you enjoy the update as it is. Thank you for your understanding and support.

After 1 week of growing, the Blue Dream'Matic is doing well. I am going to slowly increase its nutrient solution strength and lower the lights to dial in some stronger growing conditions. It has been enjoying 1-2 times a day fertigation so I think the coco medium is draining well. I have included a time lapse of the first week of growth. I am working out the kinks of the setup, so the video is a bit messed up towards the end, but it shows potential that I am going to keep working on! Day 8: transplanted to a larger pot as a significant number of roots were growing out of the seedling bag. Day 9: It looks like there has been a cal-mag or root issue affecting the first set of leaves, which grew in while there was a lower nutrient EC. The new growth has not been showing the same issue, so hopefully the issue has been resolved. Thanks for reading, and happy growing!

This week went by fast! They're growing really fast and always hungry! They're getting ready for the flower stage and entering Bloom. They're getting 2L of H20 per day that's pH at 6.8. I water 2x a day! I turn them on at 6am and give them 1L of H20 at 9am that way they're awake and 1L of H2O at 9pm that way they're split. I feed my nutrients at the 9am watering. I pH my nutrient mix somewhere between 5.8 and 6.2. I also have amended the soil with Soil Recharge and that's once a week as well as the Fish Shit and The Stash Blend. Then, I always flush with only pH H20 the day after any nutrient mix. Overall, the plants are healthy and I'm waiting to see how they turn out!

Chop 3 bubble kush, so amazing strain from weed express, heasy and very fast

Did some cleaning up of undergrowth and discovered some weird symptom on the lower growth that was removed. I have done some research but have not found anything. Any help is appreciated. Other than that everything is looking good. Taking longer than I expected but otherwise happy with the way things are going. I believe I am having some circulation issues due to poor design of my rdwc set up. The plant furthest from the reservoir is showing some stress. I am in the process of designing a new setup that will definitely circulate better.

The featured time-lapse is from week 0 to week 5. The camera will be fixed; I couldn't hang it up earlier. Some light LST was required for overall light penetration. Final week of vegetative state before the stretch and pre-flower!

Had a lovely smoke all week , weighted in at 149 g of super frosty buds ( I’ve smoked at least 10g )

She got flipped on day 36. Saw pistils a couple of days later. She isn't big, but she's a beauty. I think this strain would be better left to grow naturally rather than pissing around LST'ing. The response hasn't been what i expected. The proof is in the end product though so let's see😁🏻

The plants grew well this week, as did all the clones. Any extra rooted clones have been planted outdoors as a further experiment. We moved all the clones into a Veg room. Even though the large room is not in flower and still also in veg, we had to separate the plants due to lack of space. Also setting up for mother, clones and SOG in the future. The plants were defoliated and training continued. There are 2 weeks of Veg left hoping to have some very large plants for flowering. Aiming for large flowers.

Fast growing 😂
