Hello I hope every one is dooing good! We are here going into week six of flower. I'll be honest this plant here has been teaching me a lot I've gaven her the name once of "patience" because thats one of many things i'm learning and working on in life s well. I do believe there is a balance with life and life in your tent or garden we will say. I made some mistakes trying to weave this plant in the trillis, as there is no neeeeed!! ahhh silly me. Its okay we are learning here,at this time im mainly focused on having a good environment in aspects of temperature, humidity,vpd. Im looking for a vpd of 0.80 to 1.5 some days we hit a sweet spot others not so much but I do what we can to control humidity in the tent. I have a small dehumidifier currently. its helping bring down the humidity, seem to notice the hunmidity rising after I water so I leave the tent open for a while, also have a duc fan blowing air in at the bottom of the tent, so great circulation going on... oh my we are doing good tho!!! loving this grow this plant ther GENTICS omg i cant wait to see this thru! I am giving hr some new nutrients to add to the line, starting in week six. I am giving her 2ml per liter of water of tastey terpenes from advanced nutriennts. starting to see thrichomes development. excited to see these flowers get thicker and sweeter much love happy growing!!! lets go Guava

Last week! Just flushing out the lady and giving her some darkness in a colder spot in the basement! Can’t wait to harvest this one! Super strong cookie aroma! Dense, trichome coated, and sticky! ✌️🏻💚🌿💨. This light sure did the trick!

Hello. this is the end of week 7 and the beginning of week 8 of veg. What good luck... I've got 7 females and 1 good male out of 9 plants. I killed 1 male and 1 seed didn't pop. Things are going well... The last undecided plant turned out to be a female. So I'm already to repot them and put them in the tent. I've got a 5x5 tent with a Spider Farmer Light, SF4000 in there. I think I'll have to get more soilless soil. I use Sunshine Mix #4. I usually get 4 bales to get me through a year. Lots of big spiders in my yard this year. The bees are sure taking a beating though. I haven't seen one in days. No wasps or mosquitos too. Hope your enjoying the comics. Have Fun. Chuck.

Hello, long time, no grow. I’m trilled to start on a new grow project, i’m away from growing a long time, but my love for ot was always present, i miss it a lot so i have got a few strains from Fastbuds to test and come back with a minimal setup. I have got the Festberry, Bluedream, and the 1:20 cbd, they have sent in the Banana Purple punch Ok, so what is a minimal setup? For this grow i have choose to grow in my balcony, it is fairly big and i gave good sunlight, we are in summer now, so temps are high, swinging a lot. It is raining often as well so I did not need to water much. For the nutrients i will go organic i think, in my substrate i have about 30% warm castings, so i’m good for till mid grow length +-, i might add a bit of nutrients in 30 days mark. The objective of this experiment is to use as little as possible, 360 degrees. For the germination process i have used a mixed process method, that i have learned from Fastbuds and i have loved it, 24h in a glass of filtered water, paper towel for about 24h -48h and then the Floraflex gremination pellets, i have tested on the jiffy and worked fine as well. Cool about this method, if you are more on the anxious side or like to control more the process this is the way, you can follow the hole process and see the development in parts. I will add images later on, for this breakdown. Well that is it, lets hope for a cool, safe journey for this girls.

🌸 Week 4 Flower – Gelonade Run (Week 8 from Seed) The garden this week feels like a song in mid-chorus, not at the beginning, not at the climax, but at that perfect moment where everything flows together, alive and in rhythm. The Gelonade girls continue to thrive as they enter their fourth week of flower. Both phenos are strong, healthy, and stacking nicely, but once again, the spotlight belongs to Pheno #2, our unicorn with her unforgettable leaves. 🍃 The Freak Leaves – Nature’s Masterpiece Every week she amazes me. The leaves are massive, sculpted, and utterly unique, opening like fingers folding out of a hand, splitting and stretching in ways I’ve never seen before. They don’t just capture light; they capture attention. They’re freakish only in the sense of being extraordinary. This week I did a light defoliation, removing just a few fan leaves here and there to let air and light move through the canopy. Nothing heavy, just enough to open the girls up so they can breathe freely. The freak leaves still dominate the show, and I couldn’t be happier. 💧 Nutrition – Aptus x Plagron Fusion The nutrient strategy stays consistent, built on the solid foundation of super soil and pellets while enhancing with a balanced booster program: • Aptus Regulator – for structure and stress resistance • Aptus CalMag Boost – for strong frames and chlorophyll balance • Plagron Trio (Power Buds, Sugar Royal, Green Sensation) – each at 1 ml/L This blend is improvisation, yes, but with intention. Aptus provides the backbone, while Plagron brings a bloom-focused push. EC remains low (around 0.6) and pH steady at 6.1. The girls are feeding happily without signs of deficiency or excess. Environment & Conditions Temperatures are still a little warm at times, but airflow and extraction keep things under control. Humidity floats between 50–60%, and the TrolMaster system continues to guide watering, keeping soil moisture around that 19–20% mark before irrigation. The ecosystem, from lights to sensors to airflow, is tuned and humming, letting the girls focus on flowering. 🌱 Quick Recap – From Seed to Now • Week 1–2: Germination and fragile seedling stage, roots digging in. • Week 3–4 Veg: Vigorous branching, structure building, unicorn leaves making their first appearance. • Week 5–6: Transition to flower, pistils forming, stretch in full swing. • Week 7–8 (now): Bud sites stacking, white hairs everywhere, plants at ~88 cm, morphing beautifully into early bloom. It’s been a journey of balance — super soil below, light above, and the grower’s touch in between. 🔮 Looking Ahead Next week, I expect to see the beginnings of bud swelling as calyxes start to stack and flowers take shape. Pistils will multiply, resin glands will begin to sparkle, and the true magic of flower development will begin. What not to expect just yet: density. These next couple of weeks are about building the frame of the buds; the bulk will come later. ⸻ Plant Stats – Week 4 Flower / Week 8 from Seed • Height: ~80 cm • Temperature: 28–32°C • Humidity: 50–60% • VPD: ~1.8–2.0 kPa • EC: 0.6 • pH: 6.1 • Nutrients: Regulator, CalMag Boost, Power Buds, Sugar Royal, Green Sensation ⸻ May the light kiss their leaves, may the roots hold steady, and may each new flower remind us that beauty is often found in the unexpected ⸻ ✨ The Gelonades are glowing. Strong, healthy, and uniquely beautiful — especially Pheno #2, who reminds us every day that difference is beauty. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Right from the bat this strain was awesome, I would recommend potting up these plants or just keeping in a smaller container, they really really like to be in a small pot. I have another clone of the big pheno in flower now in a 1gal with coco and she is taking off like crazy.

These beans have been taking a beating and she still is pulling threw and starting her stretch now as she is heading into the second week of flowering .. I like the smell of this one right now and the structure is good very open just needs buds to start forming up. These were part of the grower of the month contest a while back very good quality genetics ...cheers

This grow I am going to do it differently. I am going to do day tracking instead of date tracking. I am using using pre-grown ( two grows ago) Coco mix with nature suppers soil to experiment with reusing grow medium. The pots are 5 gallon air pots. I have never used these before so we will see. The 1st take on them that they are very messy compared to fabric pots. Once established, I will be using half strength Advanced Nutrients for Coco since these are autos. Day 1 - 3 Seeds soaked overnight and were put directly into the 5 gallon pots. I pre-soaked the Coco with 5ml/gallon Clonex and covered the seeds with a mason jar. Day 2 - Temp stayed around 78 all day with me going in and out of the tent looking for a sprout. Nothing yet. 😀 Kept the Coco moist under the jar. Day 3 - One seed has popped. I sure hope the others do, if not in the next 48 hours, I will plant more. Day 4 - Two seeds popped and one was up with the husk on and I accidentally pulled it out (dumb ass). I put in another seed. Day 5 - One of the 2 seeds that popped died. Not sure why but it looked like it would not shake off the seed casing. It was not reaching towards the light then found it laying on it's side. I planted another seed. Day 6 - The one that has popped seams to be doing well. Only time will tell. Day 7 - The replacement seed has popped. I hope all goes well.

Que monstruo! Y aún le queda por engordar bastante! Le quedará diría que un mes para el corte pero joooder que monstruo! Jajajajaja los cogollos laterales son como las copas de las otras mas pequeñas jajajaja y el olor! Huele fuertisimo! Además el olor es literalmente un concentrado de frutas y azucar a partes iguales, olor suuuuuuper frutal y suuuuper dulce, no huele a cannabis! Me preocupa el amarillenteo de las hojas dado que con el tema fertis he procurado ir siempre justito y aparentemente me quede un poco corto en un par de riegos pero bueno, ya aparentemente está bien la planta, aunque nunca mostró estres directamente, y ahí va, bien alimentada, que debido a eso, la voy a seguir fertilizando esta semana y ya la siguiente se acabo, solo agua y a chupar de las hojas.
