Week 4 - 01/22 to 01/28 2021 Pictures from Days 25 + 26 TRANSPLANTED! Might have waited too long but hopefully the transplant and LST stress might slow the plant down since i think it's already flipping to flower like the Red Poison & Purple Lemonade in my other diaries 😱 Ended up more 50/50 ratio of Destiny Organic's Dark Matter Living Soil + ProMixHP since I had to make the Destiny last. Apparently they went out of business just after I decided it was my favourite/new soil :( Would rather stay away from Ocean Floor since I haven't had the best experiences with it (bugs/rust fungus etc) Feel free to drop some recommendations other than Fox Farms below 👍 The Dark Devil Auto is otherwise healthy and starting show hints of colour in the stems 😈 I raised the @ViparSpectraLED P1500 another eight inches after transplant and started basic LST. I really wanted to get these four under a ScrOG but if 3/4 are already flipping and the LSD is still runty I might have to wait it out again. It already has a solid skunky/hash plant smell on the fingers after adjusting them and it looks like it might actually be a tripod mute with three flower sites per node. Hopefully I can stretch it out and take advantage of the extra bud potential 🙏 I have the @MarsHydroLED TSL2000 set up and ready to go once the girls settle into their new pots. Have the new surge protector/heavy duty power cords/power tool grade timers as mentioned in Week 3. Some of it shown in the pictures. Threw some videos in this week as well with some Queen's Radio GaGa, Beastie Boys' Brass Monkey, and a little hint of Arkells ....COME TO LIGHT on the short @ViparSpectraLED ..GET IT.. 😓 -- Thanks for checking in!

Another week! 😬

The plants are growing steadily. I’ve already had to adjust the lamp height several times because the largest plants are starting to get dry leaf tips. I need to try to lower the humidity, as it gets very high when the tent is closed, and even though many of the side openings are open, the humidity is still extremely high.

The organic girl got transplanted in 7l pot with all-mix biobizz soil at the beginning of the week. The first watering after that was a week later. The EC of the run-off was on 2.53 as you can see in the picture, so I flushed it with ph(6.5) water mixed with the nuts I mention above(EC 0.32). I flushed until the EC got down to 1.3. I don't want it to get burned again cuz of the high EC in the soil. As of today, day 29, the newly adolescent plant is looking perky again. As far as I can read on the Biobizz bottles, all the nuts have a very acidic ph. That makes sense considering that they are organic and they need to have a long shelf life. No bacteria or fungus will go in such an acidic medium. Therefore I find it essential to increase the ph of the water after adding the nuts. Another thing I noticed is that they now released a CalMag product(finally), which they recommend using especially when using RO water.

Today, day 23 was the last repotting. Girls went from 11.6L to a 20L pot. Now there in the right place. In fact, just 3/4 have beene repotting because I didn't have enough Lightmix :/ My order is late, and I'm not really happy with that 😡 I planned to top the girls on wednesday or thursday. It will depends on how they will recover. Actually, it's my first time with smartpots. If smartpots have a lot of advantages, repotting is not one of them ! I made a mistake : the plants were 60% dry, and abviously, it was not a good idea ! It should be clearly moist. Nextime I think I will water the girls 1 hour before repotting. I hope it will be ok and they will recover from this tough moment.... Will see in a few days 😰😨 Anyway, I have generously watered them right after repotting with no nutrient. Juste clear water with the right Ph. As they are in some brand new light-mix medium, I thought they have enough nutrient for a at least 2 or 3 days. D-25 : Everything is ok. Girls seems to have recover very well :) Anyway, I'll wait at least one more day before topping. The last Chocolate Haze (the one that was 5 days late), doesn't have 6 nodes yet and I would prefer to top each girls at the same time. D-26 : Repotting the last one and topping everybody. Fingers crossed for the next couple of days... I also feed the girls right after the top. During the topping process, the plants were reduced from 19cm to 12cm.

Nach dem Entlauben und Bewässern ist sie wieder voll da. Die Wurzeln ziehen du Nährstoffe gut auf. Habe sie mit Hesi nachgedüngt. Mineralischer Dünger. Cal Mag von Bio Bizz.

Week 15 From Seed | Lemon Cherry Gelato 🍋🍒 | Drying, Trimming & Curing Begins Well… Here we are again 😄 Another chapter of this Lemon Cherry Gelato run officially closes, and honestly, this update feels like the moment where the entire grow finally becomes “real medicine.” First of all, once again, apologies for dividing the harvest into multiple reports lately. I know the updates have been stretched across several weeks, but honestly… with the amount of documentation, photos, macros, videos, trimming sessions, resin collection, curing observations, and extraction experiments we have been doing lately, trying to compress everything into a single update would almost feel disrespectful to the process itself. And this run deserves the proper attention. So for everyone arriving now, quick recap: These Lemon Cherry Gelato girls were grown entirely under 12/12 from seed. No traditional vegetative phase. No massive training sessions. No giant bush shaping. Just letting the genetics express themselves naturally while documenting the process from beginning to end. And what these girls became honestly surprised me. Compact plants. Thick trunks. Heavy branches. Dense stacking. Ridiculous resin production. And some seriously loud terpene expression. The previous report reflected harvest itself: - the fade, - the structure, - broken branches, - resin-covered fingers, - hanging flowers, - drying environment, - and all the beautiful chaos surrounding harvest week. This report becomes the next important stage: Drying. Trimming. Finger hash. Final flower preparation. And the beginning of cure. The girls dried for roughly 10 days under controlled conditions: - around 18–20°C, - roughly 60% RH, - with the first couple of days slightly lower around 45% to help surface moisture leave the flowers safely before stabilizing the room again. And honestly… the dry came out beautifully. Dense flowers like these always make growers slightly nervous during drying because chunky buds can trap moisture surprisingly easily. But breaking the plants into branches instead of hanging full plants ended up being absolutely the right decision here. The branches slowly reached that perfect moment growers wait for: not snapping aggressively… not bending softly… …but that beautiful little “click.” That tiny sound telling you: “Okay. It’s time.” So naturally… Mr. Baggy joined the trimming session 😄 Studio lights on. Trim bin ready. Scissors ready. Music playing. Gloves on. And branch by branch, these girls slowly transformed into jars full of finished medicine. And honestly? These plants were absurdly sticky. Not just frosty visually. Actually greasy. The kind of resin that keeps building layer after layer on the gloves until eventually you stop trimming for a moment and realize you accidentally created little hash sculptures on your fingertips again 😄 Which brings us to one of the best parts of this report: Finger hash. Or more specifically in this stage: classic trimming resin collected during dry manicure. Every session slowly left behind beautiful sticky resin on the gloves and fingers, and instead of wasting it, everything got collected carefully with patience and love. And wow… These girls made AMAZING finger hash. Soft. Oily. Extremely workable. Instantly greasy with just body heat alone. No aggressive heat needed. No real pressure needed. Just the warmth from the hands was enough to start transforming the resin into beautiful little temple balls almost immediately. That alone already says a lot about resin quality. We even documented the full process: - trim collection, - kief separation, - resin handling, - pressing, - shaping, - and the final little temple balls. And honestly, seeing the transformation from loose resin into a perfectly smooth little sphere never gets old. There’s something deeply satisfying and strangely ancient about it. The final dry numbers honestly made me extremely happy too: Plant 1: 304.5 grams dry trimmed flower. Plant 2: 163.5 grams dry trimmed flower. Total: 468 grams of dry cured manicured medicine. And for a 12/12-from-seed run? That’s honestly fantastic. Especially considering how compact these plants actually were physically. Small-ish structure… massive output. Exactly the kind of run that keeps teaching you not to judge plants purely by height. The flowers themselves turned out gorgeous: - dense, - compact, - extremely resinous, - loud aroma, - beautiful coloration, - swollen calyxes, - and surprisingly heavy for their size. The terpene profile already started evolving beautifully during trimming too. That loud fresh-harvest sharpness slowly began softening into something deeper and sweeter: - creamy citrus, - candy-like fruit, - gas, - soft cherry sweetness, - earthy backend notes, - and occasional creamy dessert-like moments depending on the jar. And this is where curing now becomes incredibly important. Because harvest is not the finish line. Curing is where flowers slowly begin becoming complete. For storage and cure, we decided to use both: - traditional glass jars, - and Grove Bags. And honestly, both have their strengths. Glass jars remain timeless: simple, effective, reliable, beautiful for long-term observation and burping routines. Meanwhile Grove Bags bring modern humidity-control technology into the process and honestly make maintaining stable curing conditions dramatically easier when used properly. The idea is not “one replacing the other.” It’s more about understanding different tools and seeing how each behaves over time. And speaking of beautiful details… Huge thank you to Zamnesia for the gorgeous storage jars with the engraved lid design because honestly… they look incredible 😄 Little details matter. Especially during cure. Because curing becomes ritualistic in a strange way: opening jars, checking aromas, observing moisture, feeling texture changes, watching flowers slowly mature week after week. The medicine almost feels alive during this phase. We also included: - trimming timelapses, - resin handling, - branch breakdowns, - finger hash photos, - hanging flower shots, - studio trimming moments, - and a bunch of closeups because honestly these girls deserved proper documentation until the very end. And next week… Next week becomes the final chapter. Smoke review. Full cure review. Flavor translation from smell to smoke. Effect profile. Breakdown texture. Ash quality. Terpene evolution. Final impressions. And the real question: How did this Lemon Cherry Gelato actually become as medicine after all this time? Because now the grow part is mostly over. What remains is experience. And honestly… that’s the most important part. Huge thank you once again: - Zamnesia, - Plagron, - the LEDs, - all the gear involved, - GrowDiaries, - the community, - the old followers, - the silent supporters, - the curious new visitors, - and everyone spending even a few minutes following these updates. And of course… Thank you Mr. Baggy 😄💙 He survived another trimming session somehow. See you all in the final chapter 🌱

12/1 - Moving right along! Today is December 1st, Day 1 of week 9, or D63. Buds are finally starting to swell. Looking forward to seeing how they ripen over the next few weeks. Not sure how long she will last, but she still has a ways to go. This is always the hardest, but most exciting part! There are dozens of buds that are already super sticky, and if my last grow is any indication, it's only going to get better. Not sure what yield will be as this is a shared space, but I'm hoping to hit 100g from this plant. That would give me roughly 1.5gpw when counting via square footage/canopy space (270w/4plants = 67.5w/plant. 100g/67.5w = 1.48gpw). 12/5 - Uploaded video from 12/4 Thanks for stopping by the garden, and, as always, Happy Growing!

Flowers developing nicely! On she goes in her tiny pot 😂 😍

We ended up harvesting on day 55 of flower for these girls. 2 of these girls stayed shorter and gave a more spaced out bud stucture, while the other 2 took over the tent and were twice as big and gave a more normal compact bud stucture. 1 plant in particular(front left one) took over the main area of the tent on its side and produced about half of the total weight over all. We ran into some problems with stretching this go round as I’m still trying to figure out these light movers. But trial and error will prevail in the long run I’m sure, just takes so long once you make a change to see the results sometimes it’s tricky. Lol we haven’t cured yet but already it is some nice smelling and tasty buds. Got that classic OG kush kinda smell and taste. I will update more on this once we get some curing time in on it. We ended up with just over 10 ounces of bud and a little over an once of smaller popcorn buds, although with the exception of the one that gave us half the weight, most of the buds on the other 3 girls once broken up where all smaller with a few exceptions. But for an early version strain that is crossed with the ruderalis plant for fast flower it didn’t turn out to bad all things considered. 11 ounces off 4 plants in 55 days is ok in my books. Lol we also got a crap load of trim and just the lower fluffy stuff we will use for baking and oil making. Overall it was very easy to go, took some good ph swings like a champ and really didn’t give me any trouble with the exception of my mistakes and experimenting with my light rail movers.

Killer kush ganja 🎄🐲

March 27, 2019: For the most part everything is moving along nicely. The CBD Medi Kush has taken off in the flower room. She is 30 inches tall now and showing lots of nice bud site development. So far I have to say I'm impressed with how things are going in the flower room. The organic methods appear to be working very well. The plants all look super healthy, no signs of any deficiencies and the leaves are all the perfect shade of green - not too dark and not too light.

Day 71. Girls loved last week boost, pots are light in a day and maybe i will give to 7 of them Ph water today even. Toped Tangie will be watered 4sure, widest Tangie still heavy, i think its her last feeding anyway, maybe she will get last molasses and CalMag at the end of the week together with other girls. Defoliated plant loves her life , but will finish only in midle of february i quess... Moved toped plant inbetween two lamps, she became tallest plant and i had a feeling, that her tops overheat a bit, bigest early FastDiesel was moved to the corner. All is good and i think i will start to search for my loop very soon ;))) Day 74. Some girls started to gain weight, other still in full bloom. Girls looks healthy and happy, but my heart doesnt sing .. still think that 50 g is my best result from those plants, some will be closer to an ounce. The only hard mistake i made was leaving them unwatered for one extra day, but they bounce back after two hours, so it leaves me with idea, that time invested dosnt pay off. All 3 FastDiesels looks like twins, same structure, same flower. Really happy with those and maybe harvest and taste will push me to try out this strain in summer outdoors. Tangies are all very different, from 5 seeds - two are really nice fenos, very fat buds and compact structure, one is absolutly sativa dominant, everything very slim and long, one was upsidedown, so this one looks totaly third type . The earliest started to flower and most fastest in grow is forth type, her buds are aswell different from all others. Time will show ... Fingers crossed ;) Day 76. Girls are ok. Some started to yellow a lot, thinking to start flushing first early three girls. Victims in todays photos ;) Last feed tomorrow for most of them anyway.

Plant two is doing a little better color wise. Something is going on with the leaves of plant one mostly. Maybe it is because i was using overflow water straight from the air conditioning unit instead of the tap? I'm having to pull a lot of dead leaves off

Water only from here 1L at a time 13/09 - Watered @ 10:43 - Health inspection 14/09 - Watered with 1l - Added extra Fan 15/09 - No water needed today. 16/09 - Watered till run down for flush 17/09 - No water today damp 18/09 - flushed 19/09 - Flushed

Ich warte auf den richtigen Ernte Zeitpunkt. Farbe und Geruch kommt immer stärker. Werde sie nurnoch Spühlen. In der Nacht an Tag 82 kamen sie ins Zelt für eine 48 Stunden Dunkelphase um sie zu stressen und den THC Gehalt zu erhöhen. An Tag 84-85 wird geerntet 👨🏽‍🌾🤪

Nice to see you 💚 The Fat Monkey is developing well. The flowers are developing and I'm really excited to see how it goes on hope it has a lot of the watermelon zkittles 😅 There was Enhancer 1g/l water. So that the solid fertilizer is released even better with extra bacteria and Trichoderma in the substrate. I love GHSC Bio line Thank you very much for your time 😊✌️💚

Coming soon
