I'm 4 days into flower. Topped all the plants nice and even. Then removed all bud sites below the top 4 on each branch. Leaving fan leaves intact. I allowed them to recover for 2 days. Then flipped the lights. Blue Gelato 41 has filled in 2/3 of the tent well. Big leaves are forming and they continue to reach.

Así van las niñas en su cuarta semana de floración, la producción de resina en esta genética se nota que es bastante buena eso me tiene muy contento, aun en esta semana se mantienen con el panel led de 300 wts full spectrum. el olor que tienen es bastante agradable esperemos mejorar más el olfato para distinguir bien qué terpenos predominan. This is how the girls go in their fourth week of flowering, the production of resin in this genetics shows that it is quite good that makes me very happy, even this week they remain with the 300 wts full spectrum led panel. the smell they have is quite pleasant, we hope to improve smell more to distinguish which terpenes predominate.

A more difficult week. I've been battling the water consumption on two of the girls. I ordered and hooked up the Blumats auto watering system. I followed the instructions to a T but they don't work on those settings for this type of plant. They must be recommending for succulents cause the girls dried out right away with the settings. So I've been slowing dialing it in the get the proper amount to release. This girl is doing fine with the water. Prolly because she was stunted and doesn't need as much. Getting bigger Dimmed to 80% Here are the lights details: Medic Grow Mini Sun-2 150W LED Model: MN150-022 Spectrum mode: V1 Efficacy: 2.8 umol/J Thanks for stopping by! You can find the light on Grow Diaries: https://growdiaries.com/grow-lights/medic-grow/mini-sun-2-150-watts You can find the light on Medic Grow's website: https://medicgrow.com/

Oh, it's time to see if we are a Willy Wonka WINNER with our DEVINE AUTO CANDY SEEDS and IGUANA GROW JUICE. I transplanted all 2 inches of Miss Candy to a large raised garden bed and she has it all to herself. I wanted to give her roots plenty of grow room. The plants on either end of the raised garden bed are Citronella plants to help keep bugs away. I bought some Advance Nutrients Iguana Grow Juice so I could enter their contest. I chose the Grow Juice because it said, "Iguana Juice Grow or Bloom: Full-cycle base nutrition" and I wanted to use it the entire grow. This Grow Juice is said to be made by growers for growers so I am going to see how good it is. And, If you have been following me, then you know that I have only used FoxFarm Nutrients in the past. I am exploring a new nutrient, And, the contest specifically states, Whether you're a long-time organic cultivator or exploring organic nutrition for the first time, this is your opportunity to showcase the power of clean inputs." I will say it doesn't smell the best. We may to work on a better scent. However, my PH is great at 6.45 so that's that. If you are following then you may be aware of my "livestock" issue that @HinduGod teases me about. My livestock better stay away from this grow or they may be looking for a new home. Join me on this Willy Wonka CANDY Journey--Comments and likes appreciated.--Sweet Smokes! P.S. A day after. I loaded this diary, I was trying to figure out how to protect my little plant from the sun. I found these drink umbrellas that worked perfectly.

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.

Harvest week for Auto Mintz arrived around week 14-15, with the two plants hitting about 90 cm and sporting sticky buds. The air carried a sharp, minty scent, and the trichomes had turned mostly milky with a few amber flecks – time to cut. Watering stopped a couple of days before, and on harvest day, the buds were trimmed carefully, yielding a modest but satisfying 140 grams dry from both plants. They dried over a week in a dark, ventilated spot at 20-22°C and 45-50% humidity, keeping their fresh aroma. It was a straightforward process with a decent outcome for the effort.

Hey all! Welcome to the first week of veg. She is doing great! I fed her on Monday (Jan 6th) with 1/16th tsp of seaweed extract by Green Rush Nutrients mixed in with dechlorinated 250ml tap water. The solution was set at 6.1pH. I fed her again with the same quantity and pH on Wednesday (Jan 8th). I have my humidifier on throughout at the lowest settings. I need to buy a hygrometer lol. Anyway, I fed her with 1/16th tsp of seaweed extract and 1/2 tsp of Green Rush Grow mixed in with 500ml of dechlorinated tap water. Her mommy (my wife) fed her this time on Saturday night (Jan 11th). The light intensity is now set to 100% and its still hanging 18 inches from the plant. This week, I will make sure to take daily pictures. Happy growing!

What up family. These 3 got the chop and finished up. The reddish color on the flowers is mesmerizing. The sweet earthiness smell is subtle but strong enough you want to smell it over and over. They grew super easy not really requiring anything special. All in all Highly recommended if you like easy and beautiful strains. Happy Growing.
