Watermelon auto was doing great till today. I believe I got mite symptoms on a leaf. So I am giving her a neem oil treatment. Her leaves will likely be messed up next week from this. She is under the Medic Grow Mini sun 2, in Gen 1:11 organo mineral nutrition. Thank you Gen1:11, Medic Grow, and Royal Queen Seeds. Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

7. Woche So langsam bekommt Purple Lemonade den Switch für die Bloom, aber sie ist noch etwas hinterher im Vergleich zu den anderen 😁

Everything is moving smooth with all of the plant except lots o bear by fox genetics it popped and just never grew so I’m planting the 3rd seed and if it doesn’t work I’m going to sub for purple punch auto

One week difference is crazy! The buds are getting dense..some frost sprinkled here and there..and I’m smelling aromas of skunk and quite literally sour skittles..which is my favorite candy…so I was in disbelief when the Runtz was giving off that exact smell! Sweet & Sour mmm!

D63/F15 - 11.21 - easily the most vigorous plants in the tent. The passion berry has unbelievable structure and stretch. She stands about 6 inches taller than all the others today. I have 5 more fem'd Passion Berry seeds. 😈Depending on how this one finishes and the bud profile, they might get their own tent next run. D66/F18 - 11.24 - Little LA sunset that was such a runt for so long is starting to put on buds all nice. Gonna defoliate her in 4-5 days. More pics to come of the big girls tomorrow after they get defoliated 👍 D67/F19 - 11.25 - Defoliation is complete! Everything is looking great! D69/F21 - 11.27 - the little LA Sunset is looking just dandy, a few more days until the last little defoliation session.

:)

Growing great in week 8 day 2 bloom fed her the last time going to do winter frost and straight water out the gate I started supplementing phosphorus and it fatned them buds up some these girls are heavy eaters

Today marks day 21 girls are looking great! They are stacking beautifully. Finally starting to get some smells very weak though. But I am seeing frost on the runts layer cake and the rucu cucu og. It’s gonna be water based not this week sense I’ve gone heavy the last few weeks Day 19 girls got some recharge and 10 ml of surge. Threw in a tbs of the terp tea bloom but I don’t think it did anything since it’s was a small amount and I diddnt aerate it. Day 16-17 small defoliation with a lollipop

Hello Growmies, Two weeks into vegetation, our Watermelon Candy by Zamnesia is striking a fine figure in the grow tent. Each plant has achieved a notable height of 14 cm, an impressive feat for their age, suggesting that they are well on their way to becoming vigorous and bushy specimens. The uniformity observed in the first week continues to be a defining trait of the Watermelon Candy strain. These plants, with their symmetrical leaf structure and consistent growth patterns, are reflecting their strong genetic lineage. The lush green leaves and the tautness of the stems speak volumes about the care they've received. Their transplant into the 12.5-liter air-pots, coupled with the application of Great White during the process, has provided them with a fertile foundation for root development. This mycorrhizal support will surely bolster their ability to uptake water and nutrients efficiently, setting them up for success in the coming weeks. The controlled environment, with precise management of temperature and humidity, continues to foster their growth. With the lights dimmed to 25% and delivering 150-180 PPFD, the plants are receiving the perfect amount of energy to thrive without the stress of overexposure. The IR lighting before lights on and off, along with the midday UV light exposure, is fine-tuning their growth cycles and boosting their natural defenses. Once the inline fan is connected and operational, you'll have complete control over the tent's environment, enhancing dehumidification during the night and ensuring optimal conditions 24/7. It's this attention to detail and environment that is paving the way for these Watermelon Candy plants to flourish. Stay lifted, Salokin.

Great :) GOOD START-HALF OF THE WORK !!!! The girl looks very good :) so far the small space does not cause any problems, for the first time I see that after you tried cutting off the main head, new branches grow from that place :) it will be really interesting :) I used LST a little until the height of the branches is even, and then I will try to do a scrog :) good luck to everyone :).

Hello, Growdiaries Community!😎 The small one follows its rhythm 4 cm 😋👏🏻, temperature 27º C ☀️ humidity 70% 💧 irrigation 125ml 💦 alternating one day with nutrients and another without nutrients.Today I raised the lamp to 72 cm☀️ Happy growing, and see you in the next update!😉👍 Merry Christmas🎄🎁

D64. We're at the start of the fourth week of flower, and today was a busy day. First, I had to remove the old lights before swapping in the light from my auto tent. All while trying to avoid trashing the plants in the way too full tent. Not an easy task. The entire mission, with changing the light in the auto tent as well, took a couple of hours. I wish I could keep the Greenception lights in the tent as they're high-quality lights, but the Kingbrite has a much lower profile and thus takes up much less space. Space that I desperately need considering how insanely much these girls stretched. One of the tops on the second girl has unfortunately already been bunt by being too close to the light, and I'm sure I will run into light bleaching and probably foxtailing as the grow progress, but I hope I will be able to pull it off with the Kingbrite light. I also added some wire support to the branches that I super-cropped, as they looked somewhat sad after all the abuse to the canopy while swapping the lights. ------------------------------ D66. It looks like the girls have FINALLY stopped stretching. Phew! Yesterday, I gave each girl 2.5 liters of water @ pH 6.2 with humic acid and EM-1. Today, the green lacewing larvae (Chrysoperla Carnea) arrived, and I dispersed them in the tent to deal with the thrips. ------------------------------ D68. All is well in the tent, but now when the thrips are (hopefully) under control, it's time to address the VPD. It has gotten seriously out of wack due to dropping temps, plus I increased the humidity to make the environment more inhospitable for the thrips. The temps were low due to the light change as the new one is running a lot cooler, but the temps have also dropped outside. The heating in the lungroom has been off until now, so I turned that on and lowered the humidity threshold on my exhaust fan. Finally, I put my small humidifier in the tent, generating extra heat and decreasing the humidity. So far, the VPD has increased from a terrible 0.4-0.5 to an acceptable 0.9, and I'm hoping it will increase further as the ambient RH drops as we move into winter. ------------------------------ D70. We're at the end of the fourth week of flower, and all is well in the tent. The VPD has gone up to 1.0, which is a nice improvement to what it was only a couple of days ago. I haven't scouted yet for thrips, but I will give the lacewings a couple of days to do their thing and then look closer. However, I went to WAR against the spider mites we have in our ornamental plants in the apartment. I sprayed all plants with my homemade pesticide (capsaicin, alcohol, horticultural soap.) since I had it at hand. If that fails to knock the spider mites back, I'll bring out the neem oil instead. The infestations aren't bad (yet), but it would suck to get mites into my tents, so better to be proactive. ------------------------------

🍒 Lemon Cherry Gelato — Week 10 (Week 6 Flower) 12/12 from seed | No veg | Full expression phase ⸻ 🔁 Quick Recap — From Seed to Structure This run followed the same philosophy: straight 12/12 from seed, minimal interference, maximum observation. From early on, these girls showed vigor, tight internodes, aggressive lateral growth, and a natural tendency to bush out heavily while still pushing vertical dominance. What we built over the weeks: • A dense, multi-layered canopy • Strong branching capable of supporting weight • Healthy root zone driving consistent uptake And now, in week 6 flower, everything is being converted into mass, resin, and expression. ⸻ 🌿 Defoliation Session — Opening the Beast This week was a big moment. You brought them into the studio and made a bold call: deep defoliation (fan leaves with stems removed) Leaving: • Bud sites fully exposed • New growth intact • Air channels opened through the entire plant This was not just aesthetic, it was functional: • Improved airflow through a very dense structure • Light penetration reaching lower and inner bud sites • Reduced humidity pockets inside the canopy With plants this bushy, this move shifts the system from crowded to optimized. They are now set up to focus energy directly into flowers. ⸻ 🌸 Calyxes & White Hairs — Flower Construction Mode Now we are seeing real flower formation. Calyxes are the core of the bud, each one a potential resin-packed structure. At this stage: • They are stacking tightly along the branches • Forming early bud density • Beginning to swell, but not yet at peak size White hairs (pistils) are everywhere, and that is exactly what we want. They signal: • Active reproductive phase • Continuous flower site expansion • Ongoing energy push into bud production Bright, fresh pistils means the plant is still building, still reaching, still producing. ⸻ ✨ Trichomes — Resin Factories Switching On This is where Lemon Cherry Gelato starts showing personality. We are now seeing: • Frost spreading across sugar leaves • Resin glands forming on calyx surfaces • Stickiness increasing day by day Functionally, trichomes are: • Protection from UV, pests, and environment • Chemical factories for cannabinoids and terpenes Right now they are mostly clear to early cloudy, meaning: • Terpene profile is starting to develop • Potency is rising, but not fully matured This is the production phase, not the ripening phase. ⸻ Nutrition — Driving Heavy Output These girls are feeding like monsters and your numbers show it. EC: 2.9 High, but clearly being handled without stress. Your stack: • Terra Bloom providing the PK backbone for flower development • Green Sensation enhancing density and metabolic efficiency • Sugar Royal supporting terpene expression and carbon flow • CalMag Pro maintaining structural integrity and transport under high demand • Power Buds boosting flower site activation and early stacking At this stage it is not about adding more, it is about delivering consistently. ⸻ ⚖️ pH Control — Unlocking the Feed With EC at 2.9, pH becomes even more critical. • pH around 6.5 is the sweet spot for soil bloom uptake • Lemon Kick helps bring the solution down naturally • pH Plus allows fine adjustments when needed This ensures nutrients are not just present, but available. High EC without correct pH means locked potential, and you are avoiding that perfectly. ⸻ 🌡️💧 Environment — Stable but Alive • Around 26°C • Around 60 percent RH • Strong, consistent light across the canopy Now the key detail is the leaf to air relationship, what you called leaf DPD. With dense plants, high transpiration, and external humidity support, you had a naturally balanced exchange between leaf surface and air. After defoliation: • Transpiration becomes more efficient • Microclimates are reduced • Gas exchange improves This supports stronger nutrient flow and better resin production. ⸻ 💧 Water & Environment Synergy • Water temperature at 18°C supports high oxygen availability and strong root metabolism • Outside conditions around 10°C and 84 percent humidity That external humidity is quietly helping stabilize your internal environment, making it easier to maintain balance without stressing the plants. Working with the environment, not against it. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect — Week 7 Flower Expect: • Noticeable bud thickening as calyx swelling begins • Pistils still active but clustering more densely • Trichomes moving further into cloudy • Terpenes becoming louder and more complex • Plants redirecting energy fully into flower mass Do not expect yet: • Final swelling • Significant amber trichomes • Heavy fade You are transitioning from build into early maturation, but not there yet. ⸻ 🤝 Shoutouts — From Grower to Growers Big love to: • The GrowDiaries platform for giving all of us a space to share • The community of growers exchanging knowledge and experience • The OG followers who have been here since day one • The new ones joining the journey • The supporters, the silent watchers, the loud ones, the skeptics, everyone has a place here And always: • The genetics behind this Lemon Cherry Gelato expression • The sponsors and partners supporting the process • The tools, lights, and environment making this possible ⸻ These girls are not just growing, they are performing. Week 6 flower is heavy, alive, and full of intention.

With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. 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.

WEEK 4: The plants are now in the third week of the growth phase. I topped all three plants on the main stem and cut off the 4 largest top leaves so that the side shoots have more light available. Plant #1 is clearly the smallest and is not as developed as the other two. Since I only want to take two plants into the flowering phase, I tend to sort them out. Plant #2 looks the most vital and has already developed a noticeable smell. Plant #3 still has a strange leaf shape, although I have the impression that this has improved slightly The plants in 6L pots and added 5% FLO (Living Soil Fertilizer). I let the soil develop for 14 days beforehand. Clear mycelia have formed and the soil has a very pleasant forest floor smell. - Light Power: 40% - Soil: BioBizz Light Mix + 5% FLO (Living Soil Fertilizer) - Additives: Dynomyco mycorrhiza granules

So first week of flower or pre flower maybe?? But whatever it is they are now outside and getting direct sunlight from about 10am to 4pm and loving it. They started off this week looking a little yellow on the new growth but by Wednesday all the leaves are nice and green. Got the day off tomorrow so think I'll do a light defol and have another look at the lst wires. The mother of this clone is about a week away from harvest (my first ever harvest!!) And she smells great, everytime I walk outside. Looking forward to a comparison, my first soil harvest and my first hempy 1 after another. So I just got 2 feeds in this week, had some rain which kept the coco moist for longer so now we wait. Thanks for stopping in 👍

Its hard to see the progress at this time but i had to remove a plant cause of space issues, so now there is only 7 under the 600w Dualspectrum

Week 6 starts with some dofliation to make all bud sights clear with good light, will add some top max and biobloom to the next feed. She is doing really well Happy growing all✋ And remember to 😷 and stay safe!

Hoffe das lollipopping passt so

21.01.2022 Läuft sehr gut. Was ein Dungel!!! Futter erhöht. Hier mal ein dickes fettes Lob an Biobizz. Ich liebe die Produkte!!! Ich werd nichts anderes mehr verwenden. Geschmacklich sowieso immer top, es kitzelt alle Terpene aus den Pflanzen heraus. Und man hat selten Probleme, die Pflanzen sehen immer sehr gesund aus... BioHeaven 👍👍👍 Was denkt ihr, kann ich Ende Februar ernten??? 22.01.2022 Einige haben kleine leichte rost braune Flecken auf den tops bekommen. Ich werd Phosphor und Kalium nochmal ein wenig erhöhen. Werd auch topmax erhöhen und etwas Alg a mic. Bis dann growmies 🌱💪😎
