Some high-stress training was required. Fartbutt (the plant on the right) outgrew the container again, so I intentionally snapped the top to prevent further upward growth (I left it attached so it could still form a central cola.

The plant grows very vigorously and relentlessly. He developed a large central top, which has an intoxicating scent of fruit. If you touch it, it's full of resin. Another week or two then it will be cut and hung, I gave the last dose of fertilizer knows now only water

Week 3 for the solo is officially complete. She's been growing with no trouble. Root development has been excellent. As you can see, I decided to mainline. Seeing as she's in a solo cup, I'm not too worried about stunting. I'm horrible at measuring the water intake, but the cup needs to be watered daily. It's as lite as a feather everyday.

Visto que ya estamos a mediados de agosto y pareceria que quieren empezar a florecer voy a empezar esta semana con el bloom. Mitad bloom mitad grow 51d nuevo tratamiento preventivo con TD + Solabiol, Foliar. Una vez el tratamiento para evitar que las lluvias limpien la planta suelo ponerlas bajo techo. En cuanto deja de llover las vuelvo a sacar. dia 54 126ctms la nº1 y 102 la nº4 y una clara evidencia que ahora empieza lo bueno. Como puede observarse han ensanchado las ramas , han crecido notablemente y empiezan a mostrar claramente sus primeros pistilos.

I have 7 week-old plants that have more trichomes than 8 weeks wish I could figure out why it's not too hot they've been running right at a temperature of about 82 degrees I was thinking at first maybe it's the topping and the defoliation but I did the same thing to my other two plants which are younger and they have more trichomes

Приветствую, коллеги! 💚💛❤️ В этот раз я захотел вырастить сативадоминирующий сорт, Strawberry Cream от SumoSeeds как раз подходит: "Прямо из района Эр-Риф Марокко, эксклюзивный гибрид Goji Haze с Strawberry Haze, знаменитой фруктовой сативой от Арьена из GHS. При курении этой красотки будет замечен приятный сладковатый аромат клубники." Звучит интригующе.😏 Теперь пару слов о проращивании: обычно после замачивания в стакане воды(RO water), я проращиваю семечки во влажных ватных дисках и зип-пакете(так мне легче контролировать нужную влажность). Но при этом способе нужно следить за корнем, есть риск вростания в ватный диск, что и случилось с одной из семечек. В этом случае извлекать семечку нужно предельно аккуратно(см. видео). Видимо в следующий раз я попробую менее рискованный способ проращивания. Ах да, перед стаканом с водой я слегка подпилил семечки по острой грани маникюрной пилочкой. Итого: 23.01(вечер) поместил в стакан с водой 24.01(утро) поместил в диски 25.01(утро) появились корни 25.01(вечер) корни ≈1см. посадил в кокос 26.01(вечер) взошли На всякий случай отметим, что чуть позже взошла растишка из правой(на фото) семечки, и она же была заметно крупнее. Кокос(уже с перлитом, спасибо линейке Plagron) я зарядил слабеньким компотом(A+B-2, B52-1, CalMag - 0.5 pH5.9 ppm514), полетели! Спасибо, что заглянули, и будьте здоровы! 🙏 Продолжение следует ...😶

🌱✨ Gelonade — Seed to Harvest & Smoke Review Grower: DogDoctor Strain: Gelonade (Feminized) Grow Type: Indoor (Tent – LED setup) Cycle Duration: ~13 weeks total (8–9 weeks flowering) Phenotypes: #1 and #2 Environment: Controlled by TrolMaster Ecosystem Lighting: Future of Grow Black Series 600 & ThinkGrow Model 1 Medium: Super Soil (Aptus Holland Amendments) Nutrients: Aptus + Plagron Final Yields: • Pheno #1: 146g dry cured (Grove Bags) • Pheno #2: 159g dry cured (Glass Jars) ⸻ 🌾 From Seed to Strength Our Gelonade journey began with delicate germination — a simple soak in plain water using The Cannakan method, ensuring the seeds awakened slowly and evenly. After 24 hours, they sprouted into life, soon meeting their first home in rich, Aptus-enhanced super soil, carefully inoculated with mycorrhizae and buffered for perfect balance. As seedlings, they thrived under the Black Series 600 LED, their leaves drinking in the full-spectrum light like morning sun on a quiet field. Through their early weeks, the mix of Regulator, Start Booster, and tender care built strong frames and healthy roots. Week after week, they evolved — into vegetative vigor, then into flowering elegance. Their structure hinted at their genetics: 60% sativa, 40% indica — tall, branching, graceful, yet dense. Pheno #2 became our unicorn, flaunting her funky fox-tailed buds and mutated, hand-like leaves — a masterpiece of nature’s playful genetics. ⸻ 🌼 The Flowering Weeks By week 5 flower, the room bloomed with energy. PPFD at 766 µmol/m²/s, temperatures near 31°C, and VPD around 2.2 — conditions that might challenge weaker genetics, but Gelonade only glowed brighter. We refined her diet: • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml/L • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml/L • Aptus All-In-One Liquid – 1 ml/L • Aptus Top Booster – 0.25 ml/L • Plagron Power Buds, Sugar Royal & Green Sensation – 1 ml/L each This powerful synergy built not just flowers — but living sculptures of resin, terpenes, and color. The TrolMaster WCS2 sensors read the heart of the soil — moisture, EC, and temperature — guiding every watering and feeding to perfect rhythm. ⸻ 🍃 The Science of Drying — Why Whole Plants Harvest came at week 12–13 total, roughly 8–9 weeks in flower. The girls stood proud, covered in trichomes, signaling it was time. We harvested whole plants, hanging them upside down in the dark to dry slowly — preserving terpenes and chlorophyll breakdown naturally. Why full-plant drying? Because leaving the plant intact slows the drying process. The inner moisture in stems and leaves redistributes evenly, preventing harsh chlorophyll notes. This method also preserves volatile terpenes — especially important for Gelonade’s citrus-forward profile. It took two full weeks before the branches “snapped,” a sign of perfect dryness — the balance between crispness and internal moisture. ⸻ ✂️ The Art of Hand Trimming Once dry, we trimmed with Zamnesia curved professional scissors, our Trim Bin, and — most importantly — our hands. Why hand trim? Because machines can never see what the eyes feel — the perfect curl of a sugar leaf, the trichome sparkle worth saving. Hand trimming keeps the resin glands intact, preserving aroma, texture, and bag appeal. It’s slower, but sacred — the final love letter between grower and flower. The trim collected beneath the bin was later pressed gently into hash bars using a hot-water bottle method — pure pressure and warmth, no solvent. The science: The heat softens trichome heads (resin glands), allowing them to fuse together under pressure — forming a natural, terpene-rich concentrate. ⸻ 🌬️ The Curing — Glass Jars vs Grove Bags After trimming, we divided our treasures: • Pheno #1 (146g) cured in Grove Bags – a modern, low-maintenance solution that self-regulates humidity (~62%), keeping buds stable and fresh without constant burping. • Pheno #2 (159g) cured in Glass Jars – the traditional, hands-on approach. We burped the jars daily during the first two weeks, allowing gas exchange and flavor maturation. Science of curing: Curing continues the slow enzymatic breakdown of residual sugars and chlorophyll, smoothing the smoke and deepening terpenes. The difference? Glass develops depth — that old-school flavor complexity — while Grove Bags preserve freshness and consistency. Both are beautiful paths to perfection. ⸻ 🌺 Genetics & Aromas — The Gelonade Signature Gelonade is a masterpiece of Lemon Tree × Gelato #41, combining sweet citrus brightness with creamy dessert undertones. The aroma: Sweet citrus candy, tangy lemon zest, and a whisper of black pepper. The flavor: Like sipping lemonade through a gelato cloud — refreshing, smooth, and joyfully bright. ⸻ 💨 Smoke Review — The Dream in a Dream Lighting the first cured bowl was like opening a memory. The smoke is silky, expanding gently in the lungs. The taste starts citrusy-sweet, then mellows into earthy vanilla-pepper. The high? A sunrise in slow motion — uplifting, creative, euphoric. Happiness washes in waves, followed by peace that lingers in the chest. Perfect daytime medicine, yet balanced enough for evening reflection. Pheno #1 brings clarity and laughter; Pheno #2 brings stillness and grace. Together, they mirror duality — the head and the heart in perfect balance. ⸻ 🌿 Closing Reflections From seed to harvest, this grow has been a story of learning, patience, and passion. Every leaf told a story, every sensor reading a verse, every trichome a spark of life. Thank you to the community, to Zamnesia, Aptus Holland, Plagron, TrolMaster, and all who share love for the craft. And thank you to the haters, too — because growth blooms brightest through resistance. This grow was more than cultivation. It was a dream in a dream.

Info: Unfortunately, I had to find out that my account is used for fake pages in social media. I am only active here on growdiaries. I am not on facebook instagram twitter etc All accounts except this one are fake. Harvest day 71 since the time change to 12/12 hrs. Hey guys :-) Finally the time has come . The lady was harvested. After the trichomes have been checked (70% milky 30% amber) as always, it was left in complete darkness for 48 hours before it was neatly trimmed by hand. After trimming, she was put back in the drying tent on nets. There they are allowed to dry for the next 8-12 days at 62% humidity before they are put into the jar to ferment with 62% boveda packs. After about 4-6 weeks in the jar I will swap the 62% boveda pack for a 58% boveda pack where it can be ready for another 4-6 weeks to enjoy :-). As always, the remains of the leaves are used to make Ice o Lator and oil. Of course, as always, there is a final update during the fermentation process. Until then, I wish you all a lot of fun with this update. Stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow 👍. You can buy this Strain at https://www.barneysfarm.com/blue-cheese-34 Type: Blue Cheese ☝️🏼 Genetics: Blueberry X Original Cheese 👍 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 ☝️🏼 Fertilizer: Green House Powder Feeding ☝️🏼🌱 Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.

The blackberry cake feminised has had a slight defoliant at the her base. There’s a sign of deficiency as some of the plants inner leaves are yellowing. She seems to be holding up well with her stigmas fully swollen. The lady has received a dose of chicken poo and a swig of compost tea. She will need close monitoring for the next 3 weeks. The Blackberry cake has slowed down in growth gaining 2-3cm in height this week standing approximately 68cm tall!

Knocked a couple of tops over to try to even the canopy. The first few pistils are starting to show, which is exciting. No topdress, just some Stash blend once this week.
