Not much sunshine, thank goodness I had a t-5 panel. The temp in old trusty is pretty consistent at 70. They are growing great, spraying when dry and watering when pots are lite.

Big cracked on the main cola of plant #4 not dying but very fragile. She will be okay I think. Update : 22/08 Mealybug, so far I see only 1 found some info from Google this can be a problem with infestation Treatment : I clean off the stem area with water mix with drop of alcohol and washing liquid.

Ya entramos en la 4º semana y que feliz estoy😃 A pesar del mal tiempo, la pequeña Zami aguantó bastante bien y con muy buenos resultados para lo que cabía esperar 💪 Ella ha estado dentro de casa cada día de lluvia y cada día nublado pero con su aporte de luz correspondiente 😎 Tengo que decir que cada día leo más y más sobre el cultivo de estas bellezas y cada vez estoy más enamorado de ellas y con muchas ganas de comenzar diferentes proyectos 😍 Como digo, estoy aprendiendo muchísimo sobre este arte y poco a poco vamos a ir aumentando la información a medida que vaya aprendiendo cosas 😎 Esta semana, tuve la suerte de comprar un termo-higrómetro para controlar tanto la temperatura como la humedad y un medidor de PH y EC para el control del agua y los nutrientes 🙌 Por suerte, esta nueva semana vienen buenos tiempos y mucho sol, con temperaturas en exterior de 25-28ºC (77-82,4ºF) y HR de 40-60% 👏 Sus noches, ella duerme en un cuarto totalmente a oscuras durante 10h sin ninguna interrupción de luz y con una temperatura controlada de 20ºC (68ºF) y HR 50%. No puedo darle más horas de luz porque no puedo controlar el sol 😅 cuando pueda controlarlo os lo comunico 😆 Por otro lado, su PH Sigue correcto, por el momento PH 6 así que intentaré mantenerlo por ahora. Contiene una EC de 1.4 (700 PPM) por lo que también estoy feliz. Iremos aumentando esta a medida que vaya creciendo y pidiendo más. Por el momento va perfecto 👌 Siempre me gusta comentar que “Zami” escucha música todos los días y se la ve muy contenta y agradecida. También la cuento historias aunque no estoy seguro si me viene mejor a mí que a ella 😂 el caso es que tenemos muy buena relación, yo hablo y ella escucha 😊 Esta semana la toca cambiar a la maceta geotextil 11L de Zamnesia. Es cierto que a ella no la gustan los trasplantes y puede que se estrese un poco, pero su casa ahora es demasiado pequeña (3-4L) para crecer fuerte y sana 😕 Esperemos que responda bien al cambio y no sufra mucho. El cambio se debería haber hecho antes, pero no tenía la maceta y tuve que improvisar 😥 Os iré mostrando la evolución 😇 Muchísimas gracias por seguirme y una vez más, cualquier consejo será bien recibido 😉 Los mejores Grow para todos ustedes y que siga la crianza 🙌🙌 MUCHO HUMO ACTUALIZACIONES DIARIAS: Día 22: La pequeña está empezando a coger mas fuerza por cada momento y está pidiendo mas agua. Hemos aumentado de 0.3l/día a 0.5l/día dándola un pequeño aporte de nutrientes 2 veces a la semana en cantidad de 1ml/l 💪 Día 23: Hoy se ha levantado mas contenta y bien espigada, lo que me hace madrugar y levantarme de muy buen humor cuando la veo 😍 es una maravilla. Hoy el día se presenta muy bueno con temperaturas entre 18-30ºC y HR entre 30-70%. El sol a salido desde las 7 a.m y durará hasta las 9 p.m (14h de sol). Día 24: He regulado el pH del agua a 6 exactos para tener una mejor conductividad de los nutrientes ya que hemos aumentado el PPM a 800. se la ve muy sana y feliz. Hoy a empezado a oler muy muy rico, pero todavía muy suave. Está empezando a dar sus primeros pasos de adulta 😄 Día 25: La pequeña Zami crece sin parar y parece que responde bien a la subida de EC. El tiempo esta jugando a nuestro favor con unas temperaturas bastante buenas que se mantienen entre 25-30ºC. Ella comenzó la semana con 8cm de altura y en mitad de su cuerta semana tiene 12cm 👌 Día 26: Es increíble el crecimiento que esta llevando a cabo. Acaba de sacar sus primeros pistilos con lo cual parece que esta respondiendo bastante bien a su cuidado. Una maravilla 😊 Día 27: El ritmo de crecimiento sigue siendo muy bueno, los pistilos siguen aumentando. Me preocupa unas manchas que le han salido en las hojas inferiores que no se muy bien como identificar, esperemos que no sea nada 🙏 Día 28: Parece seguir creciendo sin ningún tipo de problemas y las manchas no van en exceso. Todo va sobre ruedas y el olor es una auténtica maravilla. Deseando ver de lo que es capaz esta Gorilla Glue de Zamnesia y con muchas ganas de empezar su 1° semana en floración. Espero que siga portandose como hasta ahora 😊

Such a beautiful week! They went straight into flowering and at the same time the growth stage is still visible. Good potential for large plants. I imagine they will finish in ca. 4-5 weeks. I'm still not sure what's the cause for the discoloration and burnings on one of the girls. I suspect lack of Nitrogen. I will be supplementing with Bio-Grow from BioBizz. It's exiting to see them explode! I feed/water them every ca. 2nd day. Thanks for stopping by! Any suggestions or questions are very welcomed! ; )

Week 3 Flower – Gelonade Run (Week 7 from Seed) The Gelonade girls are entering full flower mode, and both phenos are thriving beautifully. Stretch is nearly complete, pistils are bursting everywhere, and structure is stacking just as expected. Both are now standing proudly at around 80 cm tall and enjoying their rhythm. Growth & Flower Development White hairs crown every top, a sure sign of transition into proper bloom. The stretch has given them elegant structure, spacing out their nodes, and now they are setting the stage for bud building over the next weeks. Pheno #1 is strong, symmetrical, and classic Gelonade – exactly what you’d hope for from this lineage. Pheno #2, though… she’s the unicorn. Her leaf mutation continues to be one of the most fascinating traits I’ve ever seen. The way her leaves open like layered fingers, folding and unfolding in unexpected ways, is pure art. It’s as if nature decided to write a little love poem in her leaves. Different, unique, and unforgettable. She carries her own beauty, a reminder that not everything perfect is uniform. Environmental Conditions Still running a little hot in the room (peaks up to 31–32°C), but airflow and extraction keep them happy. Humidity is stabilizing better now, averaging around 50–60%, and VPD is gradually coming closer to target. The TrolMaster sensors continue to keep me on track with moisture, EC, and conditions, making sure the girls stay balanced. Nutrient Program The recipe remains steady this week: • Aptus Regulator • CalMag Boost • Aptus Top Booster • Plagron Trio (Power Buds, Sugar Royal, Green Sensation) at 1 ml/L Pellets in the soil are still covering the NPK foundation, so we keep EC around 0.6 with a pH of 6.1. The girls are feeding well, drinking consistently, and showing no signs of stress or deficiencies. Gratitude & Reflections This run has been pure joy so far — both phenos shining in their own way, the environment evolving, and the grow showing its potential. To everyone following along: thank you for the love, the time, and for sharing this passion for the plant. These Gelonades are a reminder that every run brings something new to learn and something beautiful to admire. ⸻ Plant Stats – Week 3 Flower / Week 7 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, Top Booster, Power Buds, Sugar Royal, Green Sensation ⸻ ✨ Both phenos are thriving, but this week belongs to Pheno #2 — the unicorn with her extraordinary leaves. She’s a reminder that beauty often lies in the details, in the unexpected. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

got bitten by a spider and realized i was always wondering what my spiritual animal was, and realized it was spiders after that awakening of asking mother natures help me and spiders made a blood pack and since then nature has been helping me out by protecting my plants, from thieves and bad rotten people. and nature gave me spiders to protect my children. one of my spiders thats protecting the rooibaard is called GREGGK.

12.9 4th veg week done.. Healthy girls now. Blue fire's showed some signs that root space was running low and also nitrogen def. but got it under control and girls are now in final homes. Blue Fires are in 11L plastic pots and the New's in 16L root pouches. They got used to new homes pretty fast and were growing more the next day moved 👌 No hussle there. This is where sometimes I have burned extra time when messing with trasplanting. Maybe rhizotonic had something to do with this. Using it for the first time now. I mixed my soil 75% soil and 25% coco.. usually it's 50/50 but I like to tweak thing a little to see what's up 😉😎🙏 I topped all girls yesterday. Aiming for 6-8 tops in every plant and gonna insert netting there and also use stakes to part that space. Ok happy growing to everyone and thanks for stopping by! 🙏👽

Very nice Mimosa/Orange Terps. Awesome Terps and very loud. Could be an amazing Washer and good for extracts due to its flavour. The big mutated Bud on the celery stem was moldy inside just forgot to take Pictures. The other Buds are fine. reduced the light to 75% to lower the temperatures. All in all a very recommendable strain in consideration that the seeds are so cheap.

So! A bunch has happend this week: defoliation, stretching and puttin' on some guuuuud weight ^_^ I defoliated the bottom third tier of each plant (about 6 to 10 leaves every 2 to 3 days over the week) They stretched like crazy, almost doubled in height for 2 of them as usual and the lil bish is coming on strong, with more bud sites and overall best morphology! And last point of this week's update, the swelling of the flowers has started and is in full gear to produce some beauties :D See y'all next week ;)

I busted myself up so havent been able to get into the grow much for a couple weeks. They are definitely thirsty and not getting enough water so will water more deeply next time around a gallon per tote a day.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ==> Comments From Other "Living Soil/Super Soil" Growers Are Always Welcome <== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ INTRODUCTION I am very excited about this grow as it is the first time with a new setup. I have added a new light and am going to try a super soil grow for the first time. I have a Mephisto Genetics Double Grape between paper towels and waiting to sprout. The space is about 18 inches by 24 inches. The ceiling slopes down, so I don't have much room at the rear of the space. For medium I am using Fox Farms Happy Frog augmented with perlite. The bottom third contains 0.5 pounds autoflower blend of a "super soil" additive from Nature's Living Soil. (https://amzn.to/2PUHc6k) I am using three-gallon cloth pots. The light is a Horticulture Lighting Group 135W QB V2 R-Spec LED kit. NUTRIENTS Tap water pH’d to 6.5. pH lowered using 1.5 TBS unsulfured blackstrap molasses and apple cider vinegar. One-half TBS of vinegar lowered pH about 0.5 points. The medium was very dry. Slowly watered to allow the moisture to be equal throughout the soil ISSUES My while I have yet to put the seed in the dirt, I am concerned about temperatures. They are currently running at about 86F. I would like to get it down to about 80F. DAILY LOG DAY -2: STARTED SEED * Started seed in my traditional manner. Between paper towels soaked in 5% bleach solution, 0.25 tsp/0.5 Cup water. Temp 82F. DAY -1: ACTION *The smallest of tip has appeared. Will put in soil in a few hours. Day 0: SEED PLANTED. * Refrigerator filtered water. pH 6.5. 1 cup (250ml) added very carefully. * Covered with humidity dome. * Light from Soil: 32.5” * Temperature: 82F DAY 1: SPROUT The sprouted seed has shown itself above the soil. A nice Christmas morning surprise. Now I can start counting the days. * Watered with about 200ml of water at pH 6.5. Used apple cider vinegar to lower the tap water pH. * I was pleased to find that my tap water does not contain chloramine. I was reading bad things about chloramine and "living soil." It can kill beneficial microorganisms. All I did was ask my water company and they replied saying "we found no mention of chloramine use in the system:" Just what I wanted to hear. * After looking at other diaries using 250W LEDs, I moved my light down to 25 inches. DAY 2: NO WATER FOR YOU * No watering today. There is plenty of water in the soil and I want the roots to stretch and work. * Working on increasing the humidity and getting more control over the temperature. DAY 3: WATER PLANT, NOT POT. ADDED MYCORRHIZAE. * Following the GrowWeedEasy watering suggestions for Kind Soil * 500ml water at 6.5 pH, around the plant and not across the full 3-gallon bag. * The fan gently moves the seedling to keep it strong. * Had minor unexpected run-off. I hope to avoid that in the future. * Added 1/8 tsp Great White Mycorrhizae dissolved in 100 ml of 50 ml water/50 ml molasses mix. Did not pH as it is such a small amount of solution compares to the watering earlier today. DAY 4: NO WATER, NO PICTURE * Nothing really new. So no reason for a picture. * The soil is dry on top, but the bottom of the pot is still damp. So I will watch it, but I don't expect to water today. * Adding a small intake fan has dropped the temps to about 82F, I think they can live with that. * A humidifier arrives tomorrow and I think that will be my last step to improve the environment. DAY 5: 500ml WATER, LOOKING GOOD * The plant is looking good. The second set of true leaves has a bend, but nothing to worry about. DAY 6: 500ml WATER. NEW HUMIDIFIER * It wasn't really necessary to water today, but I did simply to stay on the schedule I am using. * Given the lightness of the soil and the moving air, I don't anticipate any problems. * Added a humidifier yesterday evening. It's bringing the humidity up, but I need to keep the space closed and I'm a bit concerned about having to provide it with distilled water frequently. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ WEEK ONE IN REVIEW ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * Watered with 750 ml pH's tap water. Watered slowly to avoid any runoff. * The plant is looking very healthy. It looks as if the roots are really starting to work as the plant is darker green. * Balancing temperature and humidity is tricky, but I think I will be able to get it stabilized with a bit more work. * Target Relative Humidity: Seedlings - 65-70; Vegging - 40-70; Flowering - 40-50 ==> Beginning Next Week I Will Only Post Twice A Week, Mid-week And End Of The Week. <==
