🌸 Week 5 Flower – Gelonade Journey What a week! The Gelonade girls are now stepping fully into their flower form, and it’s breathtaking to witness. The evolution is clear: their structure is leaning beautifully toward the sativa side, with long, elegant branches reaching outward and bud formations stretching gracefully. Even though Gelonade carries a 60% sativa / 40% indica balance, the girls are clearly showcasing their sativa influence, airy yet strong, expressive, and absolutely stunning. ✨ Sativa Stretch & Structure The branching is art in motion, every node working like a painter’s brushstroke on a living canvas. The main colas are elongating, and even the funky pheno is showing its own charm in how the leaves and flowers express themselves. It’s one of those weeks where you just stand back and admire. ⚙️ Smart Growing with Sensors The WCS2 substrate sensor from TrolMaster has been invaluable this week. It constantly reads moisture, EC, and temperature directly from the soil, helping to decide exactly when to feed and when to hold back. Instead of guessing, we’re guided by real data, a powerful ally for keeping the roots in balance. 💧 Nutrient Recipe Update This week we reintroduced Aptus All-In-One Liquid at 1 ml per liter, complementing the standing mix of Aptus Regulator, CalMag Boost, and Plagron Power Buds, Sugar Royal, and Green Sensation. The reasoning is simple: as the flowers demand more, a little extra balanced nutrition ensures the canopy stays lush while the energy shifts toward bud production. 💡 Inner Canopy Lighting One of the biggest joys this run is the extra canopy lighting. The Future of Grow and ThinkGrow LEDs shine from above, but the added under-canopy strips are filling gaps and ensuring photons penetrate deeply. Instead of shadowy corners, the girls are glowing top to bottom, every leaf touched by light. 🌿 Recap & What’s Next From seed to now — germination, veg, stretch, and into this fifth week of flower — the Gelonades have shown resilience and individuality. Pheno #2, with her unicorn leaves, continues to amaze, while both are stacking into tall, elegant forms. For next week, we expect more density building, pistils shifting color, and the first whispers of resin glands sparkling under the LEDs. The journey forward promises more fragrance, more structure, and more beauty still to come. 💚 Closing Thought This week, the Gelonades remind us of the elegance of balance, between sativa and indica, between stretch and strength, between data and instinct. Every leaf, every branch, every bud is a note in a song that is only just beginning to play. May the branches stretch without fear, may the buds swell with light, and may each day bring us closer to the harvest of dreams. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Day 74. Girls is down. Chopped her way too early, but loads of milky and I need more space !!!! ;)) Thank You FastBuds for wonderful strain again !!! I'll nail her this year outdoors I guess ;))) Happy Growing !!!

Day 19 of flower, I went ahead and lollipoped both girls. This will be my last time defoliating that heavy. As the days go by, I will defoliating here and there. They’re growing strong and healthy as well. 51 days until I harvest. I can’t wait! Catch yall on the next update ✌️🏾

Did a major defoliation this week...some canopy adjustments....saved a couple branches that were under the screen but long enough to pull up. Time to watch these girls stack!

I’ve lost track of how long it’s been really. Few weeks I suppose

Bulking up quite a bit with these girls and the trichomes level is off the charts with both the mutant and the banana purple punch.. the stretch is over so now it's just putting on the weight.

Been super busy so lagged on getting this posted. All plants are down and currently drying. The weather has gotten chilly so taking longer to dry than I would like. Super excited to get it jars and all cured up. First plant is all done and came out bomb af.... a couple of friends didn't even think it was real..lol.. because it was to purple.... the potency is totally there on this one ☝️ sometimes purple lacks that but this stuff has it all. Bag appeal, smell, taste, and potency!!! This is not a commercial strain due to the slow growth and average yield, but a conasuers dream. Didn't weight wet weight, but will post final dry weight

(END OF QUARANTINE) Now I have put them to finish underground a 600w hps under 12/12 schedule with the Divine Black opium. Luckily no more mould has spread, and all plants look happy healthy and still developing. Day 72 12/09/24 Thursday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 today with Plagron products. Finally a video and pictures update ✌️💚 Day 74 14/09/24 Saturday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only today Day 76 16/09/24 Monday Feed today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6. Will update all videos and pics tonight 😁 Day 77 17/09/24 Tuesday Feed today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6. Seeing good developments, buds forming nicely, divines are smaller denser structures but the buds are not lacking! Damn I'm surprised by 2L pots.

G13 autoflower is just about done. Lots of cloudy trichromes, and just starting to get a few amber ones. Next update will be the harvest. She grew well under the Medic Grow Mini Sun-2, in the Athena blended line nutrition. Considering the issue I had when she was a young plant. She is full of frosty colas now. I am just on the final wait now. I will likely put her in darkness in about 4 to 6 days, then cut her after 48 hours darkness. Thank you Medic Grow, Athena, and Weed Seeds Express. 🤜🏻🤛🏻💪🏻❄️ Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Le Royal Gorilla 🦍 stanno proprio 😌 una meraviglia, avvicinandomi sento un adore floreale meraviglioso e già posso vedere il ghiaccio ❄️ sulle foglie da zucchero, non vedo l’ora di vederle alla fine della 9º settimana come saranno gonfie e gelide 🤞🌬️🚀✨mi piace tanto questa varietà, è la terza volta che la coltivo e sono rimasto sempre soddisfatto, a parte ovviamente gli errori da coltivatore 👨‍🌾 inesperto ma sicuramente quelle volte ho avuto la fortuna di trovare ottimi fenotipi…cerchiamo di tirare fuori il massimo da ognuna 🤩🙌🦍📸

Very saddened by the turn of events, 3 herms, 2 different grow environments, but each tent had another strain growing along with it. No seeds or problems with the Cookies strain… I had no power outages, no light leaks, no schedule changes, and performed relatively little defoliation during flower. To me, this cannot be attributed to stress, as they showed no sign of stress or deficiency’s throughout the grow. Long story short, booooooo.

This out grow for me is extreme, cause daylight time less than 12 hours, Just awful weather, and at night temperature is 15 degrees. Despite all the difficulties Blackberry grows very vigorously and healthy. I am sure this strain will grow in any conditions.Nice genetics. Plant have already started flowering, so fast, and easy strain. For now buds r green, maybe just got the green pheno, or still early and i will see purple colors, color is not important to me. Still weak smells like berries, very tasty. Thanks Fast Buds, nice genetics, and thank to everyone who follow my grow report, Peace!😇

Day 50 (First Grow): "Hey everyone! Quick update: we transplanted the plants, and they’re settling into their new pots nicely. 🌿 Just a quick recap from last week: We've named all the plants, making it easier to track their progress. We've set up a SCROG (Screen of Green) net to help train the plants and ensure even growth. We're monitoring the humidity levels closely with a hygrometer and considering adding more fans to improve air circulation. Excited to see how they continue to develop as we prepare for the flowering phase! Stay tuned for more updates!" Day 53 (First Grow): Hey everyone! Exciting news: we’ve added a new member to our grow tent – a praying mantis! 🦗 Her species is Timor shield mantis, and she still needs a name. We decided to get her to help with pest control naturally. Praying mantises are excellent predators and can help keep unwanted insects away from our plants. Feel free to suggest a name for her! Any tips or fun facts about keeping a mantis in the grow tent are also welcome! Day 54 (First Grow): Hey everyone! Big update today: we’ve switched the timer to a 12/12 light cycle to initiate the flowering phase! 🌸 Our plants have developed a nearly complete and dense canopy, and we believe they’re ready to start blooming. This change should encourage them to shift their energy towards producing buds. For those following along, here’s a quick recap: We've implemented a SCROG net to manage the canopy and ensure even light distribution. We've introduced a Timor shield mantis for natural pest control. The plants have responded well to all adjustments and are looking healthy. Now that the flowering phase is starting, we’re excited to see how they develop over the next few weeks. Any tips or advice for optimizing this phase? Let us know in the comments!

This was my 1st photoperiod grow on growdiaries and I'm glad I tried these Fast flowering photoperiods for it. Big thanks to Heather and the Fastbuds team. The wedding cheesecake auto is one of my favourites strains and i have grown it a number of times but now having a photoperiod version is just great and to flower so fast is brilliant. Because this grow was going so good I decided to switch back to photoperiods for the next few grows i just wish i had left her in veg for 1 more week. Total decent buds dry weight for the grow=136g Light power Total= 200.43Kw 18hrs for 28 days = 504hrs 12hrs for 67 days = 804hrs Total hours for lights= 1308hrs 200.43÷1308=0.153Kw/hr average. Average 153w/hr Total g/W=0.89g/W Power used for grow=508.78Kw @0.30p =£152.63 Each gram cost £1.12 The buds have been curing for nearly 2 weeks so I haven't had a sample yet. There will be more pictures added once I try the buds and write up a smoke review in about a week but for now I'll just leave a video of the grow. Thanks to all who have viewed my diaries and a big thanks to all that posted likes and comments, it's much appreciated.

Gracias al equipo de Divine Seeds y XpertNutrients, sin ellos esto no sería posible. 💐🍁 Auto Opium: La semilla de marihuana Auto Opium de Divine Seeds es un híbrido resultante de la unión entre una variedad Afgana y una Canadiense, obteniendo una variedad autofloreciente feminizada más potente y productiva que se haya conocido. Genéticamente Indica prevalece en este genotipo, pero su brillante sabor y olor a bayas es la evidencia de la influencia Sativa. La concentración de THC de Auto Opium (28-29%) la convierte en la elección número uno para el comercio. Se recomienda a los cultivadores inexpertos. En el interior, Auto Opium da unos 1000 g/m2 de cosecha, mientras que en el exterior significa 300 g/planta. Los cogollos de marihuana de la planta Auto Opium saben y huelen a bayas, frutas exóticas y hachís. Este pesado efecto te golpea como un iceberg, y 2-3 horas se pasan normalmente sin moverse, acompañadas de cambios en la percepción. Un gran analgésico. 🚀🌻 Consigue aquí tus semillas: https://divineseeds.net/es/auto-opium/ 🍣🍦🌴 Xpert Nutrients es una empresa especializada en la producción y comercialización de fertilizantes líquidos y tierras, que garantizan excelentes cosechas y un crecimiento activo para sus plantas durante todas las fases de cultivo.

Still no nutrients! What a week! A lot of growth and the leaves get bigger and bigger. I broke the main stem on the top so topped that part because the infection will be bigger than the cut. Just put the leaves a little bit down to give space to the lower flowers.
