Last Week

27.12 11 week (43 veg/34 bloom)

This week I fed Tea ☕️ that consisted of my own worm castings from the bin I made a few months back, molasses for the microbes , and a chicken manure product from Coop Poop. I can already see the difference, unless that’s my mind playing tricks on me, but I like to think that it is working! I think my own castings are the real catalyst to new growth; both now as well as in the future! I did check the trichomes on the plants that seem to be entering senescence (final stage of life). They seem to be still somewhat clear, so I will wait at least another week to harvest. As far as everything else, it has been an easy, uneventful, grow! ☮️💚

LST is doing great 😌

Week 16 From Seed | Lemon Cherry Gelato 🍋🍒 | Cure, Smoke Report & Closing Chapter Well… Here we are. Final chapter. And honestly, this one feels strange to write because somewhere along the way this stopped becoming “just another grow” and became one of those runs you genuinely remember afterward. First of all, as always lately, apologies again for dividing the reports into several parts. But honestly, with the amount of photos, macros, trimming sessions, drying observations, resin collection, curing experiments, root inspections, smoke notes, and documentation collected during this run… there was simply no realistic way to compress everything into one single update without losing important parts of the journey. And this final report deserves the full respect of the process. So for everyone arriving only now and jumping directly into the final week, quick recap: These Lemon Cherry Gelato girls were grown completely under 12/12 from seed. No long vegetative period. No giant training sessions. No extreme manipulation. Just allowing the genetics to express themselves naturally while documenting the entire process from seed to cure. And honestly? These girls delivered beautifully. Compact structure. Heavy flower stacking. Massive density. Ridiculous resin production. Loud terpene expression. Strong roots. Strong stems. And some genuinely beautiful medicine in the end. Across the previous reports we covered: - growth structure, - flowering behavior, - fading, - harvest, - drying, - trimming, - finger hash, - temple balls, - curing setup, - and storage methods. This final report becomes the real conclusion: The cure. The smoke. The chemistry. The experience. And the final transformation from plant into finished medicine. And honestly… This is where cannabis truly becomes complete. Because harvest is not the finish line. Drying and curing are not “extra steps.” They ARE part of cultivation. And I genuinely think many growers underestimate how much chemistry is still actively happening after harvest. Fresh flowers are biologically active material. They are still full of: - moisture, - chlorophyll, - sugars, - starches, - enzymes, - unstable volatile compounds, - and rapidly changing terpene structures. Drying removes free moisture slowly enough to preserve structure and prevent mold. But curing? Curing is where the flower actually matures. Where harshness softens. Where chlorophyll breaks down. Where terpene profiles settle. Where moisture equalizes internally. Where aromas stop smelling “green” and start smelling like the cultivar itself. Fresh flower smells like plant. Cured flower smells like genetics. And honestly… these girls cured BEAUTIFULLY. The smoke became incredibly smooth. Soft on inhale. Soft on exhale. Almost creamy sometimes. No harshness. No aggressive throat hit. No weird grassy notes. Just properly finished medicine. The terpene profile evolved into something honestly difficult to describe perfectly because it keeps shifting depending on the jar, humidity, breakdown, and even time of day. But if I had to describe the core experience: Sweet tropical woods. Fruits. Warm resin. Soft creamy backend. And this very specific pine-nut-like aroma. Not pine tree. Pine seeds. That soft oily nutty aroma you get when opening pine nuts mixed with tropical sweetness and woody resin. And honestly? If someone added pineapple to this profile, I would probably believe I was sitting somewhere in Hawaii or the Bahamas 😄 The aroma genuinely feels warm-weather tropical. Bright. Happy. Comfortable. And the effects follow that same direction perfectly. This is NOT sleepy medicine. Not couch-lock. Not knockout smoke. This is uplifting medicine. Euphoric. Social. Creative. Functional. Happy. The kind of flower that makes conversations easier. Music sound better. Nature feel more alive. Walks become longer. And random laughing suddenly happens for no reason 😄 Beautiful daytime or social medicine. Perfect for: - beach walks, - dinners with friends, - creative sessions, - gaming, - movies, - long conversations, - music, - and honestly just enjoying life a little slower. But definitely not the best choice if your goal is immediate sleep 😄 This one keeps the brain alive. Now let’s talk curing and storage properly because this became a huge part of the experiment too. We cured using both: - traditional glass jars, - and Grove Bags. And honestly, both systems worked beautifully when used correctly. Glass jars remain timeless for a reason: - reliable, - reusable, - visually satisfying, - easy for long-term inspection, - and perfect for manual burping routines. Meanwhile Grove Bags genuinely simplify moisture management dramatically by helping stabilize internal humidity exchange automatically when flowers are dried properly beforehand. And this is important: No storage system fixes bad drying. Curing starts during dry. That’s why environment matters so much: - stable temperature, - gentle airflow, - humidity control, - patience, - and avoiding overdrying early. Because once flowers overdry aggressively, you cannot truly reverse that damage completely. And yes… we went deep into the chemistry too 😄 Because the transformation happening during cure is honestly fascinating: - chlorophyll degrading, - harsh compounds softening, - volatile terpenes stabilizing, - cannabinoids slowly evolving, - oxidation pathways beginning, - moisture redistributing through the flower itself. Even THC slowly evolves over time depending on oxygen, heat, UV exposure, and storage conditions. Everything is chemistry. Everything keeps moving. And good curing is essentially controlled aging. Not old weed. Finished weed. That difference matters. The roots deserve a huge mention too because once the root balls finally came out after harvest, the entire watering behavior suddenly made complete sense. Beautiful root development. Healthy structure. Excellent substrate colonization. And honestly? You can usually understand the story of the plant better after harvest than during growth itself sometimes. The roots explain everything: - feeding behavior, - drinking behavior, - vigor, - recovery, - structure, - and overall plant energy. Massive respect to these girls. We also fully cleaned and reset the room afterward because post-harvest cleaning matters enormously too: - fans disassembled, - dust removed, - oils checked, - equipment cleaned, - surfaces sanitized, - UVC treatment, - airflow reset, - and the environment prepared for the next chapter. A clean room is part of prevention. And prevention is always easier than solving problems later. The finger hash and temple balls turned out beautiful too. Soft. Greasy. Easy to work. Extremely aromatic. The kind of resin that almost melts itself with body heat alone. And honestly, the photos documenting the curing stages of the resin are some of my favorite images from this entire series because you can literally SEE the transformation happening: - oxidation, - terpene movement, - grease development, - crystal structure changes, - texture evolution, - and the beginning of long-term curing. Living chemistry. And that’s probably the best way to describe this entire run honestly: Living chemistry. From seed… to roots… to flowers… to resin… to cure… to smoke. Everything connected. Final dry numbers also made me extremely happy: Plant 1: 304.5 grams dry trimmed flower. Plant 2: 163.5 grams dry trimmed flower. Final total: 468 grams dry manicured cured flower. And for a 12/12-from-seed run? Absolutely fantastic. Especially considering the compact size these plants actually occupied physically. Small footprint. Big output. Beautiful quality. Exactly the kind of run that teaches you not to underestimate genetics. And finally… Thank you. To Zamnesia for the genetics. To Plagron. To the LEDs. The gear. The jars. The environment. The tools. The platform. The community. To the old followers. The new people arriving now. The silent supporters. The lurkers. The growers learning quietly in the background. The skeptics. The lovers. Even the haters 😄 If somebody spent even a few moments following this journey, then they became part of it too. And of course… Thank you Mr. Baggy 💙😄 Still surviving somehow after another full season. This chapter closes here. But honestly… the cure keeps evolving. The hash keeps aging. The jars keep changing. And the medicine will probably keep surprising us for months.

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.

Beginning of the fifth week of flowering. One organic and one fertilized! Both sativas!

Finally harvest time arrived 🤗 It’s been a great run, though I had to improve a lot along the way. But as usual there was a way to get things done and finished up😎 After a long heatwave I decided to chop the whole tent, just a bit before I actually wanted to. But I see amber trichomes and heavy buds, so I think it’s safe to chop now, so here we go. 🤩 Can’t wait to taste this after so long watching over it🤤 More details to come.

Day 65, 14th of November 2020: Amazing week.... RQS Wedding Gelato does not strech a lot and pistils coming out nicely.... Original Sensible Seeds has amazing gentics they are so strechy except Black Ghost OG, rest of them crazyyyyyyy..... I also broke two of the sides from Gelato Original Sensible Seeds but fixed with tape and now all good lol 🤣🤣🤣 Pre flowers out and I really hope they stop growing lol. I also noticed that the Original Sensible Seeds strains have nice purple colours of the fan leave's stem. All the same fertilization happens every 2nd day with the mix above and ratio. One more thing: I set the lamp 15 minutes shorter to switch off earlier so they receive 11:45 of darkness. I would like to imitate the nature when longer nights come with time till the 4th week (when they will receive 13 hours darkness a day 15 minutes minus 4 times = 1hour) so every week 15 min longer darkness for 4 weeks and then back to 12/12 to have bigger buds from the 4th week....

Week 10 Update – Full Throttle with Advanced Nutrients 🌱 I’m now feeding 100% of the Advanced Nutrients schedule with all components. I noticed a slight calcium deficiency in the AN plants, so I’ve increased the base nutrients from 75% to 100%. Advanced Nutrients CalMag Xtra remains at 1ml/L, and it has been reliable throughout the grow with 0 EC osmosis water. BioBizz#1 – BT42 The trichome ripeness is mixed—there are both amber and clear trichomes, so it’s not quite consistent yet. CalMag issues show up occasionally, but nothing that’s throwing me off balance—she’s doing fine! 🤞 AN#4 – BT42 She’s asking for a bit more calcium here and there but continues to dominate BioBizz#1 in terms of development. EC: 2.5 pH: 6.4 Drain: pH 6.1 (EC not measurable due to organic soil). AN#3 – BT38 This plant is visually about 2 weeks behind the others. The space between her and the lamp is down to 1-2cm—a disaster, but there’s nothing I can do at this point. PPFD is off the charts (1200), but she’s handling it and developing beautiful buds. Big respect to this strain—the stretch was no joke! Humidity is well under control at

Switched from 24/0 to 12/12 at the end of day 14, also switched the 730nm Led's on. Its been 7 days the plants have started growing a lot faster but there's still no pistils showing. I started feeding biobizz grow @ 2ml/l At the moment there getting watered every 3-4 days. The light is showing 25000lux on a lux meter app.

Hi growers! The girls growing great!They tall from 75-85 cm.I removed some lower yelowing leavs and lolipopet them a litle to get better air flow.Started to bud nice and the smel is geting steonger.Tnx for checking in 😉

day 57 update bridal party was topped like mad weeks prior to reduce stretch and increase nodes. there is a video in the beginning of this week, might not see preview. day 66 video, bent down bridal party, everything is happy and healthy

June 8: planted out first one. Other two are in a single peat pot as I messed up during planting. Oh well. Using peat pots as intermediate containers because it is too cold here to start seeds outdoors in final containers. Solo cups last year didn’t work well cuz I left them in the cups too long. Hence my later start using peat pots this year.

experimental one is going craaaazy, i mean look at those huge buds 😳 ---------- as for the main box, well, it's strange to be honest, buds look soo small 😞 both plants are absolutely healthy showing no deficiencies whatsoever, root-balls are absolutely great, so I think the fattening is going to happen in following weeks? ---------- end of the week update: – experimental box is in the ripening phase = res change to TA FinalPart 4ml/L; also did first under-microscope pictures and those trichomes look awesome! I give it like 2 weeks – main box is fattening af, wonderful show going on!

At the end of week 3 I topped one of the strawberry cough they are all looking good and starting to veg I’m all caught up with the grow diary’s and will add at the end of every week. I’m in Australia and did start a little late into the season but hope to get a decent grow in they will be at my brothers once transplanted and he has a few aswel that I will add into the grow log nothing but sun and water only use a little thrive that’s from Bunnings that I get from my pops shed. They will be in a nicer cleaner soil when transplanted into veggie beds and will have chicken poo as a nutrient source first time ever using chicken poo so see how it goes. Will keep the grow log updated and hopefully everything goes all well for the travel and transplant for the plants in the next few days
