🌸 Week 7 Flower – The Calm Before the Harvest And here we are — week seven of flower, and what a journey it has been. From the very first drops of water on tiny seeds to these full, mature blossoms now bowing under their own weight — the Gelonade girls have written their own story in green and gold. Both phenos, #1 and #2, are stunning. Pheno #2, the unicorn with her foxtailing beauty, continues to fascinate — those whimsical towers of calyxes spiraling like dreams reaching for the light. Pheno #1, elegant and balanced, stands beside her sister with a classic structure, both radiating health and character. Together they show us two faces of the same soul — different yet equally divine. 💧 Now It’s Just Water This week, the feeding bottles rest. No more nutrients, no boosters, no extras — just pure water. This is the flush, the gentle cleansing before harvest. By giving only water, we let the plants draw on their reserves, enhancing smoothness, flavor, and the purity of the final smoke. It’s a closing ritual — a moment of reflection and respect for everything these plants have given. 🌱 Quick Recap – From Seed to This Moment • Germination began with The Cannakan method — simple, precise, full of hope. • Vegetative growth brought vigor, beautiful branching, and the discovery of the now-legendary funky leaf mutation. • Transplant into the 11L Amnesia fabric pots gave them the space to breathe and thrive. • Flowering came like a symphony — weeks of stretch, light, and color; a perfect balance of Aptus and Plagron nutrition; canopy lights dancing from above and below. • Foxtailing appeared on Pheno #2, transforming her into a work of art, a living sculpture of what happens when genetics, environment, and light decide to play together. Now, the flowers are glistening — pistils curling, trichomes milky, the scent rich and intoxicating. They are close… very close. Maybe not quite harvest yet, but whispering that they’re ready to show us their final act. 🌿 What to Expect Next In the coming days, we’ll watch for trichomes turning amber, for the pistils darkening, and for that subtle shift in the aroma that says “it’s time.” Expect colors to deepen, aromas to intensify, and the garden to take on that unmistakable aura of readiness. What not to expect? Rush. The girls have given us everything — now we simply wait, watch, and let them finish in peace. 💚 Gratitude To the community, the growers, the dreamers, the quiet watchers — thank you. To the sponsors and creators who make the gear that lets us grow — thank you. To the lovers and the haters — thank you too; you both push us to evolve. And to the Gelonades — thank you for being the living proof that care, patience, and love can create art from soil and light. 🌸 Closing Thought This week feels like the pause between heartbeats — the silence before the song’s last note. Everything we’ve done led us here, and everything that comes next will bloom from this moment. “May the waters run pure, may the buds rest easy, and may we harvest not just flowers — but gratitude for every step that brought us here.” 📝 PS: Pre-Harvest Notes — Knowing When It’s Time The last stretch before harvest is all about observation and patience. Every grower wants to pick the perfect moment, but that moment is a whisper, not a shout. Here’s how to listen for it: 🌼 Trichomes Your best guide. Under magnification, they tell the story. When most are cloudy with a few amber heads starting to appear, the flowers are at their peak — full potency and rich aroma. Clear trichomes mean “not yet,” while too many ambers mean the effect will lean heavier and more sedative. 🧡 Pistils Watch the hairs. Early in flower they stand white and proud, but as harvest nears they curl in and darken to orange or brown. When roughly 70–90% have changed color, the plant is signalling readiness. 🍃 Leaf Fade As you feed only water, the large fan leaves begin to pale, pulling the last stored nutrients into the buds. This is a natural and healthy fade, not a deficiency — it means the plant is completing her life cycle. 💨 Aroma Shift In the final days, the scent deepens — less sweet, more complex. Sometimes you’ll notice earthy, gassy, or fruity tones becoming more defined. That change means the terpenes are reaching full maturity. 🌙 Energy Even the way the plant feels changes — the branches seem to relax, the weight of the flowers makes them bow slightly, as if in quiet surrender to the harvest. When all these signs align — trichomes milky with a touch of amber, pistils mostly curled and dark, the fade in motion, and the room filled with a full, mature scent — then it’s time. Until then, let her dream a little longer. The last few days often bring the biggest magic. ✨ 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Purple Buds are amazing.I could not be happier with their color, buds are chunky and frosty, the smell is indescribable. It reminds me a certain sweet from the childhood :) and I bet it will taste even better. Later, I will show some more pictures for Industrial CBD which is doing fine. I will move Purple Buds tomorrow out of my tent for two days in the darkness and then - harvest time :) CBD has got one more week to go I think. Happy growing to everyone.

Beginning of week 2(Bloom): This girl has exploded! She is getting huge fast. I’m really happy with the progress of this girl. Pictures this week are taken 1 week after 12/12 light started. A few of my leaves were looking somewhat waterlogged, that’s the best way I can describe it. I’m thinking I’m over watering her, but then again the growth has been great. I’m going to cut the water to half of what I’ve been giving and see how she looks in a few days. This girl looks like she will be quite a big bigger than my last grow. I did some defoliating to her last night. I’m trying to stay on top of the new growth under the canopy. I’m not sure how many times I should be removing the growth. But If I notice something decent sized under the canopy that will just leech I’ll clip it. Hope it’ s not too hard on her. Thanks for checking out my grow!😊

Sense63 📆 Woche 11 – 15. bis 21. Dezember 2025 Blütetag 37–43 · Gesamtalter ca. Tag 74–80 Die Pflanzen befinden sich nun klar in der fortgeschrittenen Blütephase. Der Fokus liegt sichtbar auf Blütenverdichtung, Harzproduktion und strukturellem Finish. Vegetatives Wachstum ist nahezu eingestellt, die Energie geht vollständig in Bud-Aufbau. 🌱 Pflanzenbeobachtungen – Hauptzelt 90×90 🍋 Lemon Orange – hinten rechts Sehr dominante Erscheinung im Zelt. Die Hauptbuds sind deutlich angeschwollen, mit kompakter Struktur und zunehmender Dichte. Stigmen stehen noch überwiegend hell, beginnen stellenweise leicht nachzudunkeln. Die Blätter zeigen eine gesunde, leicht matte Oberfläche – typisch für diese Phase. Die Pflanze wirkt stabil, trägt ihr Gewicht gut und zeigt keine Stressanzeichen. Gesamteindruck: Ertragsorientiert, kraftvoll, sehr gleichmäßiger Bud-Stack. 🦍 White Gorilla Haze – vorne links Auffällig harzige Entwicklung. Die Buds sind etwas luftiger im Aufbau als bei Lemon Orange, dafür stark mit Trichomen überzogen. Das zuvor beobachtete einseitige Aufhellungsmuster (teilweise gelbliche Triebe/Blätter) ist weiterhin sichtbar, zeigt aber keine negative Dynamik. Neue Blütenstände entwickeln sich normal, ohne Verformungen oder Wachstumsstopp. Einordnung: Sehr wahrscheinlich genetische Chimären-/Sektorvarianz oder früh entstandene Leitbahn-Asymmetrie. Kein klassisches Mangel- oder Überdüngungsbild. Gesamteindruck: Sehr aromatisch wirkend, gesund in der Blüte, funktional stabil. 🍒 Cherry Poppers #1 – vorne rechts Extrem gleichmäßige Blütenverteilung. Alle Haupttriebe tragen kompakte, gut definierte Buds mit kurzer Internodienabfolge. Die Pflanze nutzt den gewonnenen Raum optimal, wirkt breit und ausgeglichen. Blätter zeigen leichte natürliche Aufhellung in tieferen Zonen – altersgerecht. Gesamteindruck: Sehr saubere Struktur, ideal für gleichmäßige Reife. 🌱 Pflanzenbeobachtung – Kleines Zelt 40×40 🍒 Cherry Poppers #2 Kompakter Phänotyp mit starkem Fokus auf Headbuds. Die Hauptcola ist deutlich ausgeprägt und beginnt sichtbar an Masse zuzulegen. Seitentriebe bleiben kürzer, tragen aber ebenfalls gut entwickelte Blüten. Sehr gleichmäßige Harzbildung, kaum Blattüberhang – ideal für gute Luftzirkulation. Gesamteindruck: Klein, effizient, sehr sauberer Blütenaufbau. 🍃 Allgemeine Wochenbeobachtungen – Woche 11 Klare Phase der Bud-Verdichtung Trichombildung nimmt sichtbar zu Kaum neues Längenwachstum Pflanzen tragen Gewicht stabil, kein Umknicken Canopy bleibt offen und gut durchlüftet Unteres Blattwerk baut sich altersgerecht zurück Keine neuen Stressanzeichen oder Defizite 🔚 Fazit Woche 11 Die Blüte ist nun voll etabliert. Alle Pflanzen zeigen sortentypisches Verhalten und entwickeln sich gesund, stabil und planmäßig. Unterschiede zwischen den Strains werden jetzt klar sichtbar – sowohl im Bud-Aufbau als auch in Harz- und Strukturmerkmalen. Eine sehr ruhige, kontrollierte Phase, die eine starke Endreife erwarten lässt.

Plant 1 has 2 sets of cotyledon leaves. Which is a neat mutation. Anyone else grow stardawg and seen this? I really tried getting the temperature up a little more this week. Worked a little too well and things coulda went south quick. Thankfully everything’s good. I do not have access to my grow as much as I would like? As I do not have sufficient space in my apartment for my grow, Iam forced to do so in my parents basement. Big shout out to my mom! For watering these girls for me. She actually shot some of the videos, and it is her voice you are sometimes hearing. Till next time. ✌️

Harvest in week 12. But I screwed up, I didn't have enough room to separate each variety, so I would put an average weight when everything was dry... I had done everything well, I had to mistake on the place of the drying bag Last pictures, mixed buds

This week has been a mixed bag for my two plants. #1 is really taking off now, showing strong growth and picking up speed!🌱 It’s looking healthy and vigorous, which is great to see. Towards the end of the week, I also noticed the first signs of flowering—exciting! Unfortunately, #2 is still struggling.😩 It has barely grown and remains very small compared to #1. If it doesn’t start making progress soon, I might consider replacing it with another plant. I’ll give it a little more time, but let’s see how things develop in the next week. Fingers crossed!🤞

She is much prettier than she was a week ago :) I remembered that I have my first grow light, which is more compact and it will give me more space, so I changed my light, now the girl's side branches get light too:) I add a lot of video memes, because I really want to win Iphone16 pro ;) and those who don't take risks don't drink champagne:) good luck to everyone.

I counted the days again and came to the conclusion that I have 70 days full and harvested tonight. Enough brown and amber trichomes are also present. I'm excited to see how they taste and pop. They definitely look and smell very good. What's really funny: From the 2-3 week onwards, I turned both TS1000s up to 100% for 18 hours a day. I just wanted to find out my cap. I used around 100kW/h and €40 less in electricity costs. Compared to my last grow with Feminized and 10 weeks of flowering + Veggy. I wouldn't have expected that. Well... let it dry in peace first. Another project is already underway. Have a nice weekend everyone.
