Week 2 Flower – Gelonade Run (Week 6 from Seed) The Gelonade girls are stepping gracefully into flower, evolving beautifully despite a very busy week on my end. Fewer photos this round, but I did capture a full-room video and some detailed shots of their stunning leaves, because even if time is short, the magic in the tent keeps on shining. Growth & Morphology Both phenos are showing their character. Gelonade #1 is vigorous and balanced, while Gelonade #2 is still carrying that special leaf mutation we talked about, leaves that open like a hand folding back into itself. I couldn’t resist photographing them again. They’re not just leaves, they’re little works of art. This week also saw the first defoliation of some of those big solar panels, just enough to keep airflow moving while still letting the girls power themselves. They took it in stride, no stress, only progression. Nutrient Program – Experiment in Motion The recipe shifted this week as we build momentum into flower. Start Booster is now replaced by Top Booster, and alongside Aptus staples (Regulator + CalMag Boost), I introduced a Plagron trio at 1 ml/L each: • Power Buds – to push flower initiation • Sugar Royal – to stimulate metabolism and resin potential • Green Sensation – a trusted all-in-one bloom enhancer The All-In-One Liquid remains on pause since the super soil and pellets are still carrying base NPK. Improvising? Yes. But with intention. I’ve had excellent results before with Plagron, and now I’m curious to see how their boosters synergize with Aptus. Environmental Conditions Temperatures are running a bit high (peaking at 34°C on hot days) and humidity has reached 60–70% at times. That pushes VPD to around 1.89 – not textbook perfect, but the Gelonades are adapting with grace. The TrolMaster WCS Substrate Sensor has been a game-changer here: it gives me live readouts of soil EC, moisture, and balance, all piped into the Tent-X brain. Watering is happening when moisture drops around 19–20%, promoting healthy wet/dry cycles and deeper root activity. Lighting & Room Setup The room is alive with tech. • Future of Grow Black Series 600 • ThinkGrow Model 1s • Lumatek Zeus 465w Compact Pro (newly added!) All tied into the TrolMaster ecosystem, letting me control light, extraction, sensors, and environment as one living system. Air exchange is handled by dual 6-inch extractors with carbon filters, plus a 6-inch intake, keeping fresh air circulating and smells contained. Looking Back, Looking Forward From a seed to now the Gelonades have been nothing but joy. Strong roots, vigorous structure, and personalities shining through. Flower initiation is just beginning, so no dramatic bud sites yet, but the stretch and structural shift are in full swing. Next week, I expect clear signs of pre-flowers stacking in. And because life in the garden always connects back to nature: this week I also captured a photo of a bee pollinating a flower outdoors. Bees are the true keepers of fertility on Earth, and just like them, we as growers are here to assist life in expressing itself fully. A little fairytale touch to remind us: without bees, there would be no Gelonade. ⸻ Plant Stats – Week 2 Flower / Week 6 from Seed • Height: ~50 cm • Temperature: 28–34°C • Humidity: 50–70% • VPD: ~1.89 kPa • EC: 0.6 • pH: 6.1 • Light: PPFD range 700–800 µmol/m²/s ⸻ ✨ The Gelonades are thriving.

well, another week has passed and they are already quite fat, a pity that they could be bigger but I will thank you for the experience and learning for the next cycle, as I said before I ordered a starter kit from advanced nutrients and I will test it on these same ones strains and let's see what happens! =D

I have put a second scrog net inside to stabilize the lady’s. They made a big stretch.

TROPICANA COOKIES FF / FASTBUDS WEEK #17 OVERALL WEEK #9 FLOWER This week all is well no issues this week she's looking good buds are dense and covered in trichomes she smells sweet. Stay Growing!! Thank you for stopping by and taking a look it's much appreciated!! Thank you FASTBUDS!! TROPICANA COOKIES FF/ FASTBUDS

Starting this Pineapple Slush XL Auto in a DWC setup Germinated with CannaKan under a heat mat to give the seed a warm, stable environment during the early stage. Looking forward to seeing how she develops once the roots get established just put her in her cube today and into the dwc. 💚 (also a drop of orca on each seed)

Week 4 | Jealousy Marker Decision made. After the comparison period, one plant clearly outperformed her two siblings in vigour, structure and overall development. The other two have been discarded, and the winner has now moved outside — straight into a 5L airpot, bottomless, set in the garden next to the 46 Kush. Ran short on the bigger pots this time around, so she's starting outdoors a size down from the others — being bottomless though, roots can push down into the native soil below as she grows, so the smaller pot footprint isn't a hard limit. **RootX** was applied again at this transplant, delivering mycorrhiza (*Glomus intraradices*), *Trichoderma harzianum*, 13 strains of *Bacillus spp.*, humic acids, amino acids and vitamins straight into the new root zone — giving her the same strong start outdoors that got her through the indoor selection phase. Last recorded indoors before the move: Week 4, height 15cm, light schedule at 17 hours, EC 1.5 mS/cm, pH 6.2. Now she's outside and adjusting to natural light and the elements. Updates every Sunday. Stay tuned.

-Added this one day before the week-I should start by saying I'm super happy—I'm starting to think the plant might be entering the flowering stage, even though there's no clear sign yet except for some new leaves with that really light neon green. If it's not flowering yet, honestly, that's fine by me—more time to grow. But what's really got me excited is the potential number of branches I'm seeing. She's growing fast, so I'm guessing this might be what they call the "stretching" phase. I'm hoping the branches thicken up a bit; maybe I'll increase the barrier light intensity a little to give 'em a boost. I also ordered some triacontanol to help with flowering, but not sure if it'll arrive in time—still, it's a super precise product. I've cut back on the Bio Grow since some leaves showed signs of over-fertilizing, and I've upped the fish protein, CalMag, and Sugar Fulvic. I've been doing foliar sprays with water and aloe vera (about 100ml water to 20ml aloe), plus some Ecklonia maxima on the new growth, and plain water too. Always pH at 6.0, temp around 22°C. Trying to help her cope with 0% humidity and ambient temps hitting 34°C. Stoped LST coz' I want to make bigger the around 6-8 branches.

Una cepa muy fácil de cultivar, y muy agradecida de los cuidados y alimentos dados... En sus últimas 3 semanas engordaron muy bien llegando a formar muy lindos apicales centrales.

let's hope it keeps growing ... because apparently it wants to bloom ... it's cloudy and they do not get much sun as in summer ... it grows slow but healthy ...

Day 50. Oh boy .... Most challenging healthy grow I ever had ... Have loads of things covering each other and it's hard to understand, but they constantly unhappy .... Low temps day and nights, different rate of watering, wind damages, too intense lights, understanding feeding with living soil, too high humidity for best VPD and so on .... Loads of challenges !!!! So I decided to harm them more ;))) In the middle of action I was almost regretting it ... But heavy defoliation, SuperCroping and lolitoping session is DONE !!! All 3 Northern Lights are worst in this run. Smallest plant is still in veg or early preflower. All 3 Green Cracks found strength and power and now at least two plants look very decent !! Alaskan Diesel is my love of this run !!! Amazing strain, super fast, super healthy and productive !!! Hope after all that heavy training my humidity will be back to desired 65 , not 70+. Day 52. Long story - short : I am f@ckingly HAPPY, that I did it, plants grew 7 more cm, colas on some and quantity are INSANE !!! Video tells it all ... Day 56. Even if I'll screw up @Seedsman is amazing house ! They just overgrew my setup, I can't crop 25-20 colas on each plant, so tops are burning a bit and yellowing, not best for photos, but amazing for quantity still !!!! ;)))) For this not to be all fun, today I had two hours without electricity, temps dropped to 13 in the night .... All heaters were off ... Happy Growing !!!

Looks indica leaf ! Beautiful babies 😍

The bud-ignitor is doing what it's supposed to do, Buds are already forming on the cherry's @ day 8. Switching to Canna terra flores next week and stop using the bud-ignitor, also i gonna introduce Budfactor X @ the end of the week. Also when the stretch phase is over i gonna do a defol and lollipop again cause it's getting crowded lol Rock on Dr Greenthumb's🌱

- I didn't weight wet buds. - The trichomes photos have been taken just before the harvest on buds all over the plants. - The hash balls were : a little less than 1cm diameter for the Mandarin Punch#1 and around 3mm diameter for the Mandarin Punch#2 - Drying was made at 20°C and around 50% of humidity. - Humidity in jar around 50% on the first day, temperature around 20°C. MANDARIN PUNCH #1 Veg time : 44 days. Flowering time : 70 days. Total time from seed to harvest : 114 days. Height : 142cm Pot size : 26l Harvest : 61g MANDARIN PUNCH #2 Veg time : 45 days. Flowering time : 67 days. Total time from seed to harvest : 112 days. Height : 123cm Pot size : 10l Harvest : 41g

Ok so I put a significant amount of time into this grow. Learned a ton (everything lol) as it was my first. After the final week, I decided to harvest when the trichs were milky and clear. Few amber here and there but time constraints meant I had to chop a bit earlier than I’d have preferred. I do prefer a more uplifting cerebral effect yet realize with an indica leaning strain, having all cloudy and maybe 25% amber would have been 👌🏼. My drying process began by chopping a plant at a time, I washed the buds to get the PM or traces off (also grime from outdoor city air). I used a big bucket and did hydrogen peroxide. In heindsight I would have used baking soda as well and did a two step wash. After washing them, I hung to dry with a fan until they stopped dripping then into the tent they went for drying at roughly 68 degrees and 55% humidity. I staggered the harvest and wet trimmed about 70% of the time with the latter 30% dry trimmed. This was done for convenience and to try both ways. I dried everything for about 12-13 days until the smallest stems snapped and the larger ones were borderline cracking. I started jarring everything with humidity meters, about a half oz per smaller widemiuth jam jar. The smell was never hay-like but did vary in strength and scent from plant to plant. Almost no seeds which was pretty great to see. One of the outdoor plants had quite a few seeds so I kept that separate. It ironically had the stinkiest floral smell. So what’s the total!! After curing in jars for about a month, I weighted everything and came out with 10.5oz of cured trimmed flower and about 2 oz of sugar leaf trim which I am making canna butter with and cooking. Made some reduculously strong cookies: 11 cookies from about 10 grams of trim. Ate two and was medicated for about 24hrs 😂. Some of the buds were super dense and cured down to 58 RH easily. There were a few of the large big buds that had mass but less density and fewer trichomes. These were more red-hair visually than the others. The smoke: surprisingly smooth. The effect is energizing and uplifting at first, with a nice sedative body feeling on the second half of things. Overall, I’m super happy with the result. Learned a TON and will be modifying my approach a bit next go-around this spring. Stay tuned!!!

The pound cake auto so far is an amazing plant. It has grown great and is super strong. Honestly it might be the strongest growing plant I have ever grown The weather is starting to warm up a bit it has been below freezing for over 30 days and now the snow is starting to melt finally it’s a lot easier to keep the humidity on point when it’s like 32 outside compared to 10

Will Update Soon

Harvest done, plant is drying. 116 days from seed: 51 days veg + 65 days flora
