Welcome to the beginning of our Lemon Cherry Gelato journey in the 12/12 seed run — an experiment made with curiosity, community, and creativity. 🌼 Germination Summary Seed Source - Zamnesia Seeds Seed Count for This Report : 3 seedlings selected for documentation (More were germinated; only the standout ones were kept for reporting.) Starting Method: All seeds began in a CannaKan germination system for observation. At around the 36-hour mark, early root development signs were visible. Seedlings were then placed into: • PRO-MIX soil (all three Lemon Cherry Gelatos) • Some under small humidity domes • All in consistent environmental conditions shared with the entire tent Emergence Within approximately 2–3 days, all three Lemon Cherry Gelatos broke the surface with healthy, uniform vigor. Their emergence timing was consistent with the other autos in the tent, forming a synchronized start line for the project. ⸻ 🌡️ Environmental Context (Shared Tent Conditions) These environmental notes are descriptive observations across the full project: • Relative Humidity: approx. 60–65% • Temperature Day: ~26–28°C • Temperature Night: ~20–21°C • Humidifier: running continuously • Occasional misting to help stabilize moisture • Heater: used during night cycles for warmth • Lighting: • Future of Grow — Air Grow Pro III HyperRED • Under-canopy lighting (Lumiflora UE150) to be introduced later in the project • Controllers: TrollMaster (previous partnership) • Medium: PRO-MIX soil for all three LC Gelatos • Tent: fully sanitized prior to starting the run All Lemon Cherry Gelatos were treated equally under this shared environment. ⸻ 🌈 Educational Notes for This Genetic Lemon Cherry Gelato has a reputation for producing visually expressive individuals, often showing cosmetic and structural variation early on. Part of the excitement in this run will be observing: • Differences between the three selected seedlings • How autoflowers behave in a 12/12 observational experiment • Expression, posture, and overall personality of the plants as they develop No expectations, no predictions — just curiosity and documentation. ⸻ 🙏 Acknowledgments A huge thank you to: • Future of Grow — lighting technology used in this run • Plagron — supportive nutrient and substrate partners • Zamnesia Seeds — genetics used in this project • Lumiflora — under-canopy lighting for later testing • TrollMaster — environmental gear from past collaboration • GrowDiaries platform — for giving us a place to document the project And of course… • OG followers • New followers • Lovers, skeptics, supporters, and the whole community This is a creative space, and everyone is welcome to follow the journey. ⸻ 🧡 Closing Note for the Report This is the very first entry for Lemon Cherry Gelato in the 12/12 seed run. Three healthy seedlings have taken the stage, and the project officially begins. From here forward, we’re simply documenting curiosity, expression, and the natural individuality of each plant inside the shared environment. More updates coming — with photos, weekly logs, and more educational insights. This is just the beginning.

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 A6000 (for now A6700 will be doing all future updates) 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.

Banana purple punch - 420 fast buds Looking so healthy now, early stages she almost didn’t make it but now she’s covered in purple buds , shining with thricomes , frosted all over and smells like berries and tropical sort of profile with gassy earthy notes also. I am excited to smoke her in 3/4 weeks time DRSHOTZUK @420fastbuds

Day 53 Started to flush the Fruitspirit finally i see some amber trichomes 😆 Flushing just with plain water PH 6.5 I will do closeups tomorrow! 💪 Skittelz is packing on buds as she should.... She isnt the biggest fan of high nutrient content but looks like pure Indica power! Green gelato is an crazy.... I dont understand this bud 👽 She looks amber enaught to be harvested but she is still putting on weight and I wanna give her all the time she needs Day 54 Took some closeups today and as you can see only weeks to go👻 The smell of the Gelato is so overpowering I love it 😁 im so happy that I took some clones they will grow outside soon if when they are strong enaught💪💪😅 Today i added a fresh pack of TNB Natural Co2 Enhancer for the final flower weeks....

08/29/24. Going into week 9 flower Day 65 out of the stated 71 Supposed to be 6 days left, but I’m thinking probably 2 weeks more. I’ll be checking trichs again today. Last I checked, a few milky. Nothing to report really. Giving nothing but water from here and decreasing light intensity to about 55% Will update if anything changes.

Finally starting to get some growth from these plants need them to catch up with the capjunkie's but we'll see how it goes. I do still plan to scrog the 7 plants in the 4x2 🙏

Almost ready, want to give 1 more week for some brown trichomes. Super hard frosty buds. Smells super good. . Last few times watering with raw cane molasses or just water.

hello guys some news on the flowering day 49 She is fine and is the last week of fertilizer normally. next week flush with water harvest soon. 😀

Esta semana bajo la temperatura muchísimo y estoy teniendo 12 grados durante la noche, de todas maneras parece que va a ser una floración muy rendidora. 30/05 se riega con 1,5 litros de agua de osmosis + 1ml/l de calmag + 0,5 gr/l de trico+. Se riega con poca agua debido al frío que está haciendo y con la intención que se seque un poco el fondo de la maceta 03/05 se riega con 2 litros de agua de osmosis inversa + calmag + monster bloom Ec:0,9

I was seeing that this genetics has a problem with the leaves, it has white spots and leaves with a quite peculiar development. There is no plague in the indoor and the conditions I think are the right ones the euphoria is better now, more steady, I gave her 2 ml of bioheaven, 1 ml of biogrow and 5 ml of trimix pro.

Hallo liebe Gartenfreunde Trotzdessen, dass wir drei Tage im Urlaub waren und sich niemand anders um sie gekümmert hat, stehen sie noch 😇 Klar sie hatten vergilbte Blätter und auch vertrocknete, hier eher die P.C.K die sich in der Blüte befindet gemeint. Da entsprechende Nährstoffe nicht zur Verfügung standen, wurden die aus den Blättern entnommen. Da es den unteren Bereich bzw. auch ältere Blätter betraf und oder auch welche, die überdeckt haben, hat es zu heute, Tag 24, das vielleicht letzte mal Entlauben, sehr vereinfacht. Wir haben Tag 24 der Blüte gewählt, da wir wissen, dass die P.C.K. länger für die Blütephase benötigt. Sie hat einen hohen Bedarf an CalMag und daher haben wir dieses erhöht auf mind. 1 ml/l. Sie könnte noch ein wenig mehr Schneid vertragen. Nun sind wir aber wieder zu Hause und können noch mal ein Auge mehr Drauf werfen. Ehrlich gesagt ist dieser Lauf in der Blüte hier wirklich nur unser sogenannter ,,Urlaubsgrow,,. Das bedeutet das wir einfach zum größten Teil nach Gefühl und angelehnt ans Schema arbeiten. Wir wollten einfach mal einen nicht so intensiven Grow durchführen. Kraft tanken ist halt auch sehr wichtig und ein tolles Gut. Ansonsten haben wir heute alles entfernt was kein Licht abbekommt. Im Moment fahren wir noch mit 400 Watt. Die Vorblüte ist durch und aktuell geht es in die Bildung der Blütenansätze. Erinnerungen werden beim Ansehen wach. Wirklich toll so etwas mal selbst zu kreiren und betrachten zu können. Hiermit wünschen wir allen eine erfolgreiche Woche. Vielen Dank fürs vorbeischauen. V

Shes a monster! She grows super duper fast I'm sure you agree! I'm very content with her already shes spread greatly. I haven't had tons of time to really mess with her and she seems to like it when I leave her be for a few days between training and defoliation. I included some ac infinity charts however I havent focused on VPD due to leaf temp differential and I believe it isnt as accurate as it should be. Unfortunately AC infinity has made the app mostly for iphone and I'm stuck on android. I will do my best to show you my averages and high and low. I hope that you enjoy the garden as much as I do! Check back next week to see just how fast she grows & remember its 4:20 somewhere!!!!

Hey everyone . This week she was left in her 1 L pot, and will not be in the 11 L pot until next week :-). She was topped again and accepted it super 😃. By the time she is repotted next week and given Green House Powder Feeding for the first time, she will have received a small portion of Canna Vega :-). Otherwise it grows very quickly and vigorously, and they look beautiful 😍👌. I wish you all a lot of fun with the new update, stay healthy and let it grow 🙏🏻👍 You can buy this Strain at : https://sweetseeds.es/de/red-mandarine-f1-fast-version/ Type: Red Mandarine F1 Fast Version ☝️🏼 Genetics: Red Poison Auto®️ (SWS39) X Tangie (California Orange x Hybrid Skunk) 👍 Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow Led Quantum Board 100 W 💡 Bloom Lamp : 2 x Todogrow Led Cxb 3590 COB 3500 K 205W 💡💡☝️🏼 Soil : Canna Coco Professional + ☝️🏼 Fertilizer: Green House Powder Feeding ☝️🏼🌱 Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.

(12/11-12/17) Days 8 to 14 Hope everyone enjoys the pictures. I will try to add a video and black back or cover pics by end of week every week. Week 1 Notes & Observations: Plant 1 and 2 have been showing nice steady growth. Both seem to have similar phenos so far, so Im looking forward to a nice straightforward grow and training with minimal variants. They will be kept in these containers until week 4+ VPD and PPFD: This week I will hold the humidity at ~75 to 80% while under a dome and temps will be monitored for 70- 75F daytime with 66-71F overnight. Im adjusting my lights and look to control them at ~250ppfd max. I will have to raise and lower pots inside the tent as I will be growing these at a different interval of other plants.

In the beginning of this week ( Monday in the late afternoon) I started seeing some burnt tips. Not really a big deal if you give less nutrients in the future, but i don't like it. Thats why i decided to flush my plants and check the run-off. PH levels where decent but the EC was to high. Not a suprise because I forced them a bit last week by giving some more nutrients. So right now my PH and EC for the kushes are arround PH 5.8-6 with 1.3-1.5 EC and for my shamans PH 6.3-6.4 with ec 1.5-1.6 After my flush, I gave all the plants some Canna RHIZOTONIC ( root stimulator). I advice everyone to give root stimulator after stressing the plant out with like flushing. In this grow i always weight my pots, therefor i always know when to perfectly feed them. They dronk 9 to 10 liters of water/feeding in like 96hours(4 full days) which is insane because it wasn't that sunny/hot (evaporation) and they are not trees being in the open ground. and maybe the most importent thing is that normaly your roots will stress a bit because of overwatering(flushing) and will go into a shutdown or having a hard time for a period as a result that your pots will stay heavy(full of water) for some days. In my case, this didn't happen at all. Wednesday I sprayed all the leafs with Canna Cure for some nice leaf nutrients,getting rid of minor trips and to prevent other unwanted renters. Friday I started feeding them again with nutrients, like 2-3 liters each plant and today I gave them water 2-3 liters each plant with only Enzymen in it. It was a crazy thirsty week for them with an average of 1.6-1.7 liters a day😅 Sadly one lower branch got damaged and had to get rid of it but I didn't mind that much since these buds where far behind other buds in developement. I placed one bud under the microscope for fun and saw insane amounts of thc on it haha, and that for just week 5 of flowering for a outside grow. Made a picture of it, just take a look at it. - Critical kushes started getting into preflower, finnally!! but still, only 6 weeks left before it gets to cold outside. - Did some LST again because the criticalkushes are still stretching. They might still stretch for another 1 to 2 weeks, its getting out of hand haha. - Shamans and the critical kushes get different feeding schedules, Should had done that waaaaay earliyer but I didn't care about it until now. - Forgot to supercrop my plants LOL, for the shamans it is to late, don't want to stress them out in their stage, but i did in on the kushes, since they are only 1 week in flowering, still growing a bit, it would't harm them that much. No need for steering them around, already done that. Just doing it to stress them out a bit so they will send more nutrients to the branches for bigger yield. Have to keep remind myself that this is just an outside fun grow but I just can't help myself buying stuff and wanting to do more/better. Hope you guys enjoyed watching and reading.

Took some more microscope shots. Since I had 1x Medical Mass (1:1 THC:CBD), and 1x Pineapple Express with mostly THC, I wanted to maximize benefits from both. I was not sure when to have maximum amounts of both THC and CBD. I figured I couldn't go entirely wrong if I waited until half of the trichomes had amber and the other half milky. When is CBD AND THC the highest? When to harvest THC:CBD 1:1 plants? I'd like to know that.

Starting into Week 5 Flower, week 11 total Mandarin Cookies definitely has an extremely strong orange citrus smell! Trichomes are coming in very nicely! MC’s are still ahead of the SK’s... however the SK on the left is catching up, with the one on the right having some budlets starting to form. 3 - Madarin Cookies are two in back and one in center; 2 - Silver Kush are two up front; 2 gallons water/nutes per 5 plants, alternating with plain water (just calmag, malassis, Ph. 6.4) every other day. Ph.6.4 (1.5 C.F.) Fox Farm Ocean Forest, mixed with (1.5 C.F.) garden soil, fills (5) 5 galllon fabric pots perfectly. (50/50 mix.) The new version of Spider Farmer SF-4000 is an awesome light, for anyone wondering. Can’t say enough good things about this light! Way less heat that any HPS/MH I’ve used. My big curiosity is about the final weight per watts used at finish for the Spider Farmer... UPDATE Week 5, Day 6: I did notice some heat stress on only a few of the taller branches (they were about 6” from the light). I did move the light a little further up about 4” to get some distance, and added an extra fan. Hope this helps the leaf curling! Question: have you ever driven past a house and can instantly tell they just harvested?? Ha! I just did that on my way home, and thought I was smelling my house from a long distance away.

Ya en la recta final familia, están apuntito, solo unos días más. Nuestras lemon kush ya recibieron su lavado de raíces , están sin productos ya solo AGUA. Controlamos de todas formas el Ph igual y que no baje por debajo de 6,2. Bestiales estás flores , un olor muy característico con tonalidades cítricas que recuerdan al limón. Todo un clásico en verdad. Estos ejemplares carecen de brazos laterales, son óptimas para un SOG desde semilla, pudiendo llenar 16 plantas en metro cuadrado.
