En la cuarta semana he tenido un problemilla, he acercado demasiado el foco y he estresado a las plantas por lo que no han estirado como deberían. 📅 Dia 29:🔹Descanso 📅 Dia 30:🔹 Descanso 📅 Dia 31:🔹Riego según la tabla de nutrientes EC 2800 pH 6.4. He notado que las plantas se han estirado mucho y se han retrasado en la formacion de flores debido a la proximidad de la luz led, una planta perdió pigmentacion y está recuperandose al incrementar la distancia con el foco. Creo se recuperaron de este estrés y la floración sigue en marcha. No se si me quedo corto con un led de 65w full espectrum. 📅 Dia 32:🔹Poda de alguna rama bajera y defoliacion. 📅 Dia 33:🔹Descanso. 📅 Dia 34:🔹Riego según la tabla de nutrientes con el PH a 6.3. Aplicaré 1 litro por planta para retirar las sales sobrantes y tenga una buena explosión de cogollos. 📅 Dia 35: 🔹Tras poner todos los parámetros en orden, han dado un gran cambio. El ventilador había dejado de dar aire y no me había dado cuenta, he comprado otro nuevo y ahora explosionan por días

She dried out a little too much during the week. Lots of leaves turned brown too. I think she is done anyway, trichomes are all milky and the pistils are mostly brown. Based on that = harvest in 24h 💪

Eccoci qui... Tutto va per il meglio, questa settimana si inizia a vedere la resina e ora si inizieranno a formare le cime, per questo aggiungo Sugar Shot di @xpertnutrients vedremo l'evoluzione settimana prossima. Sta iniziando a prendere una forma ben precisa ma ancora non si è manifestato nessun odore.. Grazie a tutti per il supporto🔥🌲❤️

🌱✨ Gelonade — Seed to Harvest & Smoke Review Grower: DogDoctor Strain: Gelonade (Feminized) Grow Type: Indoor (Tent – LED setup) Cycle Duration: ~13 weeks total (8–9 weeks flowering) Phenotypes: #1 and #2 Environment: Controlled by TrolMaster Ecosystem Lighting: Future of Grow Black Series 600 & ThinkGrow Model 1 Medium: Super Soil (Aptus Holland Amendments) Nutrients: Aptus + Plagron Final Yields: • Pheno #1: 146g dry cured (Grove Bags) • Pheno #2: 159g dry cured (Glass Jars) ⸻ 🌾 From Seed to Strength Our Gelonade journey began with delicate germination — a simple soak in plain water using The Cannakan method, ensuring the seeds awakened slowly and evenly. After 24 hours, they sprouted into life, soon meeting their first home in rich, Aptus-enhanced super soil, carefully inoculated with mycorrhizae and buffered for perfect balance. As seedlings, they thrived under the Black Series 600 LED, their leaves drinking in the full-spectrum light like morning sun on a quiet field. Through their early weeks, the mix of Regulator, Start Booster, and tender care built strong frames and healthy roots. Week after week, they evolved — into vegetative vigor, then into flowering elegance. Their structure hinted at their genetics: 60% sativa, 40% indica — tall, branching, graceful, yet dense. Pheno #2 became our unicorn, flaunting her funky fox-tailed buds and mutated, hand-like leaves — a masterpiece of nature’s playful genetics. ⸻ 🌼 The Flowering Weeks By week 5 flower, the room bloomed with energy. PPFD at 766 µmol/m²/s, temperatures near 31°C, and VPD around 2.2 — conditions that might challenge weaker genetics, but Gelonade only glowed brighter. We refined her diet: • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml/L • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml/L • Aptus All-In-One Liquid – 1 ml/L • Aptus Top Booster – 0.25 ml/L • Plagron Power Buds, Sugar Royal & Green Sensation – 1 ml/L each This powerful synergy built not just flowers — but living sculptures of resin, terpenes, and color. The TrolMaster WCS2 sensors read the heart of the soil — moisture, EC, and temperature — guiding every watering and feeding to perfect rhythm. ⸻ 🍃 The Science of Drying — Why Whole Plants Harvest came at week 12–13 total, roughly 8–9 weeks in flower. The girls stood proud, covered in trichomes, signaling it was time. We harvested whole plants, hanging them upside down in the dark to dry slowly — preserving terpenes and chlorophyll breakdown naturally. Why full-plant drying? Because leaving the plant intact slows the drying process. The inner moisture in stems and leaves redistributes evenly, preventing harsh chlorophyll notes. This method also preserves volatile terpenes — especially important for Gelonade’s citrus-forward profile. It took two full weeks before the branches “snapped,” a sign of perfect dryness — the balance between crispness and internal moisture. ⸻ ✂️ The Art of Hand Trimming Once dry, we trimmed with Zamnesia curved professional scissors, our Trim Bin, and — most importantly — our hands. Why hand trim? Because machines can never see what the eyes feel — the perfect curl of a sugar leaf, the trichome sparkle worth saving. Hand trimming keeps the resin glands intact, preserving aroma, texture, and bag appeal. It’s slower, but sacred — the final love letter between grower and flower. The trim collected beneath the bin was later pressed gently into hash bars using a hot-water bottle method — pure pressure and warmth, no solvent. The science: The heat softens trichome heads (resin glands), allowing them to fuse together under pressure — forming a natural, terpene-rich concentrate. ⸻ 🌬️ The Curing — Glass Jars vs Grove Bags After trimming, we divided our treasures: • Pheno #1 (146g) cured in Grove Bags – a modern, low-maintenance solution that self-regulates humidity (~62%), keeping buds stable and fresh without constant burping. • Pheno #2 (159g) cured in Glass Jars – the traditional, hands-on approach. We burped the jars daily during the first two weeks, allowing gas exchange and flavor maturation. Science of curing: Curing continues the slow enzymatic breakdown of residual sugars and chlorophyll, smoothing the smoke and deepening terpenes. The difference? Glass develops depth — that old-school flavor complexity — while Grove Bags preserve freshness and consistency. Both are beautiful paths to perfection. ⸻ 🌺 Genetics & Aromas — The Gelonade Signature Gelonade is a masterpiece of Lemon Tree × Gelato #41, combining sweet citrus brightness with creamy dessert undertones. The aroma: Sweet citrus candy, tangy lemon zest, and a whisper of black pepper. The flavor: Like sipping lemonade through a gelato cloud — refreshing, smooth, and joyfully bright. ⸻ 💨 Smoke Review — The Dream in a Dream Lighting the first cured bowl was like opening a memory. The smoke is silky, expanding gently in the lungs. The taste starts citrusy-sweet, then mellows into earthy vanilla-pepper. The high? A sunrise in slow motion — uplifting, creative, euphoric. Happiness washes in waves, followed by peace that lingers in the chest. Perfect daytime medicine, yet balanced enough for evening reflection. Pheno #1 brings clarity and laughter; Pheno #2 brings stillness and grace. Together, they mirror duality — the head and the heart in perfect balance. ⸻ 🌿 Closing Reflections From seed to harvest, this grow has been a story of learning, patience, and passion. Every leaf told a story, every sensor reading a verse, every trichome a spark of life. Thank you to the community, to Zamnesia, Aptus Holland, Plagron, TrolMaster, and all who share love for the craft. And thank you to the haters, too — because growth blooms brightest through resistance. This grow was more than cultivation. It was a dream in a dream.

Hi everyone Welcome 🙂 We arrived today at the end of week 12 in sweet company with these beautiful five girls all from the same family , KALINI ASIA 🕉️🎋 For those who already know no further explanations are needed, but just to be precise.. This diary it's for the Zamnesia Spring Cup 🏆 I'm growing all seeds Zamnesia has provide us for try to show how this strain can grow in different ways. The substrate will be the same light-mix soil mix with cocco and some one with humus The nutrients and the cultivation techniques will be different for each one So , I have reported down below what I do and I will do every week for the next few months.. The 5 ways 🌲🌳🌴🌵🎄 PS (Things I have and I still use in flowering , I have put for all five down below 👇, because are mostly the same) K # ​​1 🌿 {BLOOM n°6} Final height= 30cm Is the lady where I have use all the things ZAMNESIA was provide to us for free👌💯 ( I will spend more words about it when I post the harwest) _11l ZAMNESIA-POT _70g MONSTER-MIX _60%light-mix soil/30%cocco/10%perlite _mycorrhizae This girl is slightly faster in flowering when compared to the other four.. I remind you that both she and K # 2 and K # 3 entered flowering one week after K # 4 and two weeks after K # 5 respectively.. In addition, all three were tied by practicing LST, without topping I simply carried out a slight defoliation and lollipopping in its first half weeks after the 12/12 light change Everything is going well and for now I am more than satisfied 👌 She and K # 3 are not showing and I really think they won't delight us with pink / purple colors On the other hand, however, the buds are very dense and have a higher concentration of trichomes We'll see 😉 The other things I have use in this last seven days I will put down below 👇 K#2 🌿 {BLOOM n°6} Final height= 30cm For this girl I have use a different approach.. _11l smart-pot _Living Soil (my High-Brix formula) _mycorrhizae How beautiful she is right now 😍 The leaves are gradually losing their beautiful light green color becoming more and more yellow The plant has been in the auto flush phase, if we can say so, for about ten days.. So it will probably be ready shortly after 60 days 📆 The aroma that emanates is very good, it sincerely reminds me of a little Kush because of earthy hints I still don't feel it🙌 I will probably find them in smoke, but certainly in mix with other more citric / fruity notes It is still early to understand Certainly in the next two weeks the aromas will tend to explode.. I can't wait 😋 The inflorescences are slightly smaller than the others, most likely due to the diet they are following.. But I have no doubt that the flavor will be exceptional once dried and tanned at its best 🔥 Like the other sisters , the micro life/nutrients/stimulator I have use in this last seven days I have put down below 👇 K#3 🌿 {BLOOM n°6} Final height= 35cm With this girl I have use.. _11l plastic-pot _20gMONSTER-MIX + 70g guano kalong + 25g kelp kalong + some organic nutrients/stimulator _mycorrhizae This beautiful lady is the most leafy of the family 🍃 But also the one with the fatter flowers and perhaps with the greatest quantity of resin 💪 It is almost identical to K # 1 in terms of smell The flowers if you observe them well differ slightly as the white pistils are much more elongated than the sister who is growing in the official pot of Zamnesia.. Most likely at the end of this new week , I will start to defoliate a little bit ✂️ A little stress towards the end never hurts, just don't go overboard 😉👌 We will see how she reacts.. Things I have use this week down below 👇 K#4 🌿 {BLOOM n°7} Final height= 40cm The little one ..but the most resinous of the three purple/pink 💪 Whit her I have using.. _5l air-pot _30g MONSTER-MIX _mycorrhizae This little girl really smells delicious, but still very similar to K # 2 and K # 5.. Its buds are not too large but very sticky to the touch 🔥 She and K # 5 need water every day 💧 Certainly having used an airpot helps to dry the ground first.. Its larger leaves are now a beautiful yellow color and in a few days they will begin to fall I really think that at the latest within two weeks she can be mature at the right point 👌 As I said before, the flowers are not very large, but present along all the branches.. Even the lower ones have reached a remarkable durability that is gradually increasing We will see in the end 🤗 Other nutrients/stimulator I have put down below 👇 K#5 🌿 {BLOOM n°8} Final height= 60cm The beautiful one.. _7l geotextile pot ( not completely full , about 5,5/6 liters ) _40g MONSTER-MIX _mycorrhizae I love everything about her.. The ease of cultivation, the production of flowers entirely along the branches, the beautiful color of the latter and the spatial aroma🚀🔥 Now then, since he started to run out of nutrients, he has taken on and is taking on beautiful colors.. From green to yellow with fantastic purple hues.. The density of the trichomes is not at extreme levels, perhaps also because of the heat 🌡️ But the aroma it gives off is amazing A real pearl 👌👌 Today we are exactly 60 days from when it entered flowering.. I really think it will be ready not earlier than 70 days.. But I'm more than happy to wait a little longer I can't wait to enjoy it in a few months Ok and that's all about the general state of each one Now I have reported over here the other things I have using in this last seven days , apart the regular water I have give every day mostly for each ones 💧 So.. K#1 / K#2 / K#3 _5,5ml molasses each one _3,5ml rinhoskin each one _3,5ml topmax each one _3,5ml sensizym each one For the other two I have only using regular water💧 and some enzymes for K#4 So , for this last one this week I have using.. K#4 _2ml sensizym And instead for K#5 I have use _ water , every day We are getting closer to the conclusion of this fantastic cycle.. I have not encountered obvious problems so far, we hope to continue on this path.. This strain is really interesting and it is surprising me more and more I hope that you too can enjoy the best of the floral show, the photos do not do justice to the beautiful colors that I am seeing 📸🌸💮🏵️ Maybe it will be much clearer when I bring the flowers back once everything is done 😎 For now, this is it Stay tuned if you don't want to miss the show And thank you all for the support you have given me to date 🙏🙏 See you in week n°13 😄 Ciao ✌️ 🇮🇹

Welcome to the last week of veg the lady’s have been switched to flower last night. Nothing but buds from here on in! This week was all about setting the lady’s bud sites up as even as I could and a little defoliation before they were flipped. All the plants are within a inch of each other and each plant tops are bang on same height. We stuck with the feed twice a week for the last week of veg and are right on the line of nute burn on one of the girls, we will go easy on the start of the bloom nutes and wait until around week 4 or 5 to go back to the feed twice a week again. I’m interested to see if the gold leaf will stretch out a lot more than the super skunk and big bud, if so I might have my hands full trying to keep them all under the same lights. Until next week happy growing 🌲🌲

Day 50 - Starting off week 5 and she’s smelling amazing. Not very strong throughout the house but as soon as the tent is opened, you can smell the tropical citrus. Gave her the first feeding of the week today and just counting down till chop, still a couple weeks away but she’s filling in and fattening up nicely. Day 51 - Nothing new to report today. She’s doing her thing and I’m just enjoying watching the growth and fattening each day. Day 52 - Think she’s just about done stretching, hopefully she’s starting to move on to the fattening up more part. Gave her some fresh pH’d water today and seems happy. Day 53 - All is good, just updating pics for the day. Day 54 - All still looking good and gave her the second and final feeding of the week. Waiting for her to really start bulking up in the next couple weeks before chopping but looks like she’s still got plenty of time left.

4/1/21 - Both plants were transplanted into 5 gallon fabric pots with Ocean Forest soil by Fox Farm Nutrients. I will be using plain water for the next two weeks to allow the plants to get acclimated. (See video) 4/2/21 - Watered both plants with water (ph 6) noticed the grow room is a little humid throughout parts of the day but I will be installing the fan today. Both plants seem to be adjusting well. 4/3/21 - Plants are doing good. Watered them with ph 6 water. Noticing some yellow on the bottom leaves. 4/4/21 - The ends of the leaves are turning a light yellow from nutrient burn as a result of the ocean forest soil. Started low stress training today, added two clips per plant (see photo) 4/5/21 - The soil is still moist from yesterday, I’m not going to water today. They are still in the low stress training clips. You can really see the nutrient burn today. (See video) 4/6/21 - I watered the plants today with water (ph 6). Not much change in appearance from yesterday. 4/7/21 - Plants are looking great, the nutrient burn is starting to fade a little. I will be starting a new week tomorrow. (Continuing with water, and low stress training)

420 Fastbuds Week 3 Blackberry Auto Hello hello. Hope everyone's grows is going well. This week the girls have grown quite a bit one especially. I did take off all major fan leafs to allow the lower branches to receive more light. Seeing some rust spots showing up so I'll introduce some calmag with the next feeding. Should fix that little issue. But over all Happy Growing
