❤️💡🌱😽💨This was a great (and easy) strain.. they all responded very well to nutrients and training, almost grew themselves ..we didn't get any variation that I could tell and all finished in just under 60 days.. the buds are dense with a very sweet smell. The SP-3000 crushed it again 💪😼! This light is a champ! We have 3 harvest under it now and each grow has resulted in some of the fattest buds we've ever grown, a great light makes all the difference,..These buds dried for about 6 days in the grow room, it was a little warm but didn't seem to hurt their smell... The bud is some of the best I've had from Seedsman, its a cerebral strain, much stronger than I was anticipating (it broke right thru my tolerance, definitely the best bud iv'e had this year), my husband reports the same...I'm really happy we saved some cuttings of this, we're in the process of vegging a White Widow mom because we will absolutely be growing this again soon!! 🤘😺..Thanks as always for dropping by and happy harvests everyone!!

Salve a tutti e ben tornati :)
Questo sarà l'ultimo diario che aprirò quest'anno, l'ultimo che darà inizio ad un anno nuovo, con prospettive migliori, lasciandoci alle spalle tutte le disavventure che ci sono capitate durante questo ultimo brutto periodo..
Per cominciare, scopro le carte: io parlo italiano! Siccome sono stanco di scrivere tutto in inglese - sbagliando qualche volta - ho deciso di scrivere tutto usando la mia madrelingua. Ne vado fiero, perchè nasconderlo? ;D
Detto ciò, passiamo alla selezione di oggi. Poichè sono un paziente affetto da epilessia, necessito di qualcosa che mi faccia stare calmo, tranquillo. Qualcosa che mi aiuti a combattere gli effetti collaterali del farmaco, come l'insonnia o l'ansia di giorno. Per questo sono andato a caccia di qualche nuova strain, fuori da quelle comuni, che venisse più incontro alle mie esigenze.
Finalmente ho trovato! Tre strain davvero indicate per i miei bisogni :D
La DC#1 di Doctor's Choice è una strain bilanciata, per un uso diurno, che aiuta a socializzare e a combattere l'ansia e lo stress!
La Black Berry OG CBD della Emerald Triangle Seeds è quel che mi ci vuole per aiutare a distendere i nervi, un'indica con rapporto cbd:thc di 3:1 :D
La Banana Sherbet di South Seeds, una nuova strain davvero forte, indica, che ti stende, ottima per collassare la sera dopo una lunga giornata ;)
Questi semi mi sono stati donati da fantastici breeder che purtroppo non hanno tutta l'attenzione che meritano.. date un'occhiata alle loro seedbank, troverete delle gemme perfettamente compatibili con le vostre esigenze!
-
Adesso basta chiacchiere, è il momento di parlare di cose tecniche.
Germinazione!
Come da rito, sono solito lasciare immersi i miei semi per 24 ore nell'acqua. Dopodichè li tengo in un fazzoletto umido, chiuso, finchè non mostrano una buona radice - di solito 24-36 ore. Dopodichè li trapianto nel loro primo contenitore - un 0.8L - dove svilupperanno un bel sistema radicale prima di essere trapiantate nel loro contenitore finale!
Finalmente nel fine settimana sono riuscito a trapiantarle. Ho usato un po’ di root complex per stimolare le radici nel jiffy ;)

12/12 from seed. Week 12 overall. Week 8 of flower.
And this week, one Lemon Cherry Gelato came down.
Not because the room was finished.
Not because the cycle was over.
Because sometimes the plant tells you one thing… and the jars tell you another.
This wasn’t a full-room harvest.
This was a selective cut — one plant, chosen carefully, taken early enough to keep the room moving and late enough to still deliver exactly what medicine is supposed to deliver.
And honestly?
She earned it.
⸻
🌱 Why This One Came Down Early
The room is still running.
The full harvest is still ahead.
But one Lemon Cherry Gelato had clearly moved ahead of the pack.
Not by weeks.
Not dramatically.
Just enough.
Enough swell.
Enough frost.
Enough weight.
Enough maturity to justify taking one while letting the others continue.
That’s one of the advantages of reading plants individually instead of treating a room like a synchronized machine.
Not every plant finishes on the same day.
Not every expression peaks at the same pace.
And not every harvest has to happen all at once.
This one came down because she was the most advanced of the room — and because the medicine shelf was starting to look a little too honest.
Simple as that.
⸻
Reading Ripeness Properly
This is where harvest decisions stop being about calendars and start being about observation.
By week count alone, she was close.
By structure, she was ready enough.
By resin, she was already speaking clearly.
The trichomes had begun shifting.
Mostly cloudy.
A few still clear.
A visible touch of amber beginning to appear in select heads.
That’s the window.
Not “fully amber.”
Not “wait until everything turns orange.”
Not “harvest because the breeder timeline said so.”
The real harvest window begins when clarity fades, cloudiness dominates, and the first signs of amber begin to appear.
That’s where she was.
Not overripe.
Not unfinished.
Just entering the first edge of peak maturity.
Exactly where many growers prefer to cut for a more balanced effect.
⸻
🔬 Trichomes: What They Are — And What They Are Not
Trichomes are not “frost.”
They are not glitter.
They are not just visual appeal.
And they are not there to make photos look good.
Trichomes are resin glands.
They are the biochemical factories of the flower — producing and storing cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, and the compounds responsible for aroma, potency, and effect.
What we’re watching is not sparkle.
We’re watching chemistry mature.
Clear heads = still developing.
Cloudy heads = peak cannabinoid production.
Amber heads = oxidation and degradation beginning.
That does not mean amber is bad.
It means chemistry is changing.
More clear = less mature.
More cloudy = fuller, louder, more complete.
More amber = heavier, softer, often more narcotic.
This plant had entered that first balanced transition.
Which made her a perfectly reasonable early pull.
⸻
🎨 Pistils, Fade & False Signals
The white hairs had already begun turning.
Fresh white pistils were shrinking back.
Older hairs had darkened into orange and rust.
That matters — but only as supporting evidence.
Pistils help tell the story.
They do not write the conclusion.
Orange hairs alone do not mean harvest.
And white hairs alone do not mean immaturity.
Pistils can oxidize from age.
From touch.
From environment.
From simple exposure.
So yes — orange hairs were there.
Yes — the flower had begun to visually mature.
But pistils confirmed the direction.
Trichomes made the decision.
Color supports.
Resin decides.
⸻
️ The Cut
And she was no lightweight.
Big frame.
Thick branching.
Dense internals.
Heavy tops.
A trunk that did not come down politely.
This was one of those plants you feel immediately when the scissors hit the stem.
Tough wood.
Strong vascular structure.
Real weight in the hands.
The kind of plant that reminds you very quickly that yield starts in structure long before it ends in flower.
By the time she hit the studio, she already looked like what she had become:
A full, heavy, mature plant with serious density, strong resin production, and enough mass to justify taking her early without regret.
⸻
📸 Studio Work & Breakdown
Instead of hanging the full plant intact, we took her to the studio and broke her down properly.
Document first.
Harvest second.
Full plant shots.
Top structure.
Side profile.
Bud architecture.
Stem thickness.
Trichome detail.
Then the cut.
Rather than dry her whole, she was broken down branch by branch and flower by flower, then transferred into the drying rack.
That choice was simple and practical.
A full-plant hang is beautiful.
But a controlled rack dry gives better space efficiency, faster organization, and easier handling when the goal is immediate personal medicine.
So this one was processed clean, sectioned carefully, and laid to dry in the rack inside the drying tent with steady air exchange and indirect circulation.
No air blowing directly on flowers.
No aggressive drying.
No rushing the final stage.
Just controlled moisture loss, clean airflow, and patience.
Now she dries.
⸻
🍋 Lemon Cherry Gelato, Week 12 from Seed
And she delivered.
Dense flowers.
Heavy resin.
Strong structure.
Excellent frost.
Real weight.
Real presence.
Could she have gone another week?
Probably.
Two?
Possibly.
Would she have gained more?
Maybe.
But that does not make this cut wrong.
It makes it intentional.
And intentional harvests are rarely mistakes.
⸻
📘 Quick Recap — How We Got Here
12/12 from seed.
No wasted veg.
No unnecessary recovery.
No overcomplication.
A stable environment.
Consistent feeding.
Strong genetics.
Controlled structure.
Patience where it mattered.
Intervention only when useful.
She got here the same way most good plants do:
Not through force.
Through consistency.
Week by week, she stacked.
Flower by flower, she built.
And by Week 12 from seed, she gave enough to justify the blade.
⸻
⏭️ What Comes Next
This diary continues.
And that matters.
GrowDiaries does not handle staggered harvests especially well, which means this is not marked as “harvest week” yet — because the full run is still active, and the second Lemon Cherry Gelato is still standing.
So the final harvest report comes later.
This is the first cut, not the final chapter.
The second Lemon Cherry Gelato remains in the room and keeps pushing.
She is not ready yet.
She is close.
But not yet.
She’ll get a few more days.
Nutrition will be cut completely next week.
Then we let her finish the story in her own time.
Same week.
Same diary.
Different finish line.
And that’s the reality of growing plants instead of timelines.
⸻

📸 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.

looking lovely. Although they still seem small. Not sure how long they will take to finish. They will probably shoot up once they get into the large air pots. Pretty happy with the progress so far though. Meaty main stems. Humidity isn't quite as high as I would like but it's a fair compromise with others flowering.
As for superthrive. Does it work? Well I'm not seeing the explosive growth it promised in the root zone. But it's not really a fair trial as they've all had it.

Last days for most of them - only Strawberry Cough will stay longer - she is super hungry and I can not keep up with feeding her - most of leaves are yellow now. 😱
The rest - four plants will be harvested on the weekend - 2-3 days from now and frozen - I'll be making bubble hash and fresh frozen live resin from them in the following weeks 😈
Trichomes are mostly milky with some amber starting - ideal ripeness and time to freeze those glands

Она прекрасно растет и очень меня радует!))) мощный ствол, листья, боковые ветки практически догоняют центральную. Она буквально пожирает конкурентов в палатке занимая все место своими листьями и ветвями! Хорошо что скоро автоцветущие освободят палатку и все место, свет и внимание останется только для нее! Тогда и переведу на цветение.
(Начиная с этой недели буду выкладывать фото и видео роста в реальном времени.)

Beginning of week..
Gonna leave the nutes the same this week.. She seems to be doing great where she is.. In the next couple weeks I'll drop the Armor Si (Silica) and up the Kushie Kush (bloom booster) and FloraNectar FruitNFusion.. Trichome rubbing smells nice.. I think I'm beginning to smell the cheese 🧀 lol
Mid week..
She is packin on the trichomes nicely! Flowers are forming awesomely as well! Niceeee.....
End of week..
Forgot to get some pics.. But still just packin on trichomes and flowers.. The smell is really getting kinda strong already too.. For how early it is in flower.. But wow.. Niceeee.... Lol on to the next!!!...
