Last couple weeks for the Green Gelato pair. Getting a couple amber trichs in the video. I accidentally snapped a branch and decided to fully remove it from one, and will add to the total weight at the end. The Royal Gorilla is a strange one. Still far behind at this age, could go 100 days potentially lol. Drinking 2l a day too.

I dried it in the grow tent for about a week at 57% humidity and 62f. I then hand trimmed all the buds and it ended up being just short of 4oz total. I then cured it in 3 quart sized jars. After curing the buds smelled a bit more floral and pine scented but the blueberry terps were still super strong. Me and my friends smoked through this stuff super fast, it was pretty good.

100% germination success with the fast buds 4/4. Think I stunted the Herbie's gws tho by planting it before I had my climate dialed. It's also yellowing pretty bad but does seem to be recovering now that the climates steady. I did water with a small calmag dose last night. All fastbuds are day 3 today. Gws is 15.

Week 3 Veg – Transplant Time, System Prep & Roots in Focus Strain: Gelonade Grower: Dogdoctor Type: Feminized Environment: Indoor Tent | LEDs | Dual Controlled Airflow ⸻ 🌱 Overview This week marked a key transition in the Gelonade grow: Transplant into final 11L fabric pots, Environmental tuning, TrolMaster ecosystem preparation, … and most of all: the official selection of the two chosen phenos that will move forward into flower. The girls are thriving. Roots are looking stunning. Leaves are proud and full. The journey deepens, and we’re ready. ⸻ 🌿 Selected Phenotypes After careful observation, Gelonade #1 and Gelonade #2 were chosen as the lead phenos for the full grow journey. Both exhibited: • Strong early structure • Balanced leaf symmetry • Vigor and resilience in early veg • Root density and color that promised excellent transplant response All three looked beautiful, but these two earned the spotlight. ✨ ⸻ Soil Mix & Nutrient Support We prepared a specialized super soil mix enriched with high-quality biological amendments from Aptus Holland to give the girls everything they need for explosive veg. Transplant Mix: • Super soil base • Aptus Mycor-Mix – to inoculate roots with beneficial mycorrhizae for symbiotic nutrient exchange • Aptus Micro-Mix – full-spectrum microbes and bacteria to build a thriving root biome • Aptus Substrate Buffer Powder – stabilizes pH, locks in ideal nutrient availability 💧 Feed Mix (per liter of water): • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml: Cellular armor, nutrient flow, anti-stress shield • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml: For foundational frame building • Aptus All-In-One Liquid – 1 ml: Core NPK and micro blend • Aptus Start Booster – 2 ml: Encourages new root branching and initial canopy formation 🌊 Water Stats: • pH: 5.83 • EC: 1.01 • Water Temp: 18.5°C ⸻ Fabric Pots – Why We Use Them The girls were transplanted into 11-liter Amnesia fabric pots. Why fabric? • Air pruning: As roots reach the edges, they hit air, which stops circular binding and encourages lateral branching. • Oxygenation: Roots receive more oxygen through the breathable fabric, boosting metabolism. • Drainage: No soggy bottoms here. Fabric pots keep your medium airy and prevent overwatering issues. These are the final pots — no further transplants will be done. From here, the girls can stretch, root, and build freely. ⸻ Airflow & Filtration A strong root system needs strong air too. This week we’ve been dialing in our environment with dual extractor/intake systems: 🌀 Airflow Setup: • 2x 6-inch extractors: • TrolMaster Aerofan 6” – controlled by the TrolMaster system • Spider Farmer 6” – managed by the GGS controller • 1x 6-inch intake fan with carbon filter 🌫️ Why Carbon Filters (Even Early On)? • Odor control is obvious — but more than that, they filter airborne particles, spores, and contaminants, keeping air pure and clean, even during early veg. • Healthy air = happy leaves = fast growth. ⸻ 🔧 TrolMaster Ecosystem – Automation Incoming While everything is still being hand-watered, we’re preparing to connect the full grow to the TrolMaster system: • Environmental control (humidity, temp, VPD) • Light cycle syncing • Fan response automation • Future irrigation control for specific zones Not all plants will be automated, we’re keeping some fully manual to compare growth responses. That’s the Dogdoctor way: grow, observe, experiment, evolve. ⸻ 📸 Media & Studio Time The girls were looking so stunning, we took them into the studio for a proper photoshoot. These are living models — vibrant, proud, and photogenic. Likely we’ll do another shoot next week, before they get too large to safely move. Expect high-gloss glamour and leaf-candy content. ⸻ 🌿 What to Expect (and Not) After Transplant ✅ Expect: • Slight temporary slowdown (1–2 days max) • New root tips forming within 48–72 hours • Visible growth surge as roots expand into fresh soil • Fuller, wider leaf spacing ❌ Don’t Expect (yet): • Explosive top growth right away — they’ll focus on the roots first • Stretching — we’re still under strong LEDs with great internodal control Let the roots build the temple, and the temple will grow. ⸻ 📊 Environmental Conditions • Room Temp: 27°C • Humidity: 57.4% • CO₂: 632 ppm • Lighting: Future of Grow Black Series 600 LED • Delivering full-spectrum brilliance — tight internodes, deep greens, and radiant health. ⸻ 💬 Final Thoughts Transplant week is always a sacred moment in a grow, a rite of passage from childhood to adolescence. The Gelonade girls are ready. Their roots are strong, their stems are proud, and their leaves are glowing with promise. This week was a blend of precision and love, preparing systems, mixing soil by hand, and honoring the natural rhythm of growth. From here on out, it’s about watching, adjusting, and letting nature lead. Let’s grow something unforgettable.

day 49 just pure water phed down. it is day 51, morning before lights on, I might chop today. I use a zero water filter pitcher got off walmart. My humidifier is only a sonic wave. If you use regular tap water it will get gunky in a sonic humidifier. If you have a heat humidifier that boils the water the mist should be clean. These are the 2 types of water humidifiers. Researching best water filters this "zero water" also comes with a free ppm meter! yay! Other water pitcher brands; the water still has ppm. So water misted will still have ppm contamination. You can easily used distilled water only, and reverse osmosis. I just fill a 4gal office water jug with the pitcher and fill my humidifier when needed. I do not use a humidifier in my entire grow up to this point when I chop, I need the perfect rh or this whole effort can fail. growing up to this point only requires 20% effort, chopping now for the 2 weeks dry is this 80% of crucial determination, succeed. A lot of tasks are required today for a clean chop. I feel confident, observed my cross seeds with pink paradise and one with a slightly open caylex looks dark enough for successful germination. I figured 8-16 seeds may be created, 3-4 buds were potentially pollinated. Many growers don't understand when creating genetics with female/female there is a slight chance of herm. You lose 50% of your genetic function. Just water last 2 days, no humic no folvic, 1st time entire grow ha! There is a lot of cleaning to do, remove the trees, clean the entire tent and environment with bleach water, hacksaw. I am very proud of my grow. I have sampled 3 of the strains, dr. thunder legit made my lips numb but it could have just been the terps removing my skin cells from the sticky filter, no lie. This is my best grow to date. I did this for you, and to document hype or not under the best conditions I could give my plants, full max potential, although I wish I had more lights, I am not looking for industrial lol, this is how I grow. Learn a lot on youtube and podcasts there is many good content and I may dab into it. You can have a room full of growers and you have 1 seed in your hand, they will all tell you that their way is correct ;) and the best way. Oreo is stinky AF, Bridal is just amazing glad its massive, just not into sativa but the test seemed slight sativa with majority indica, pink untested, dr, thunder just a lip numming plant aha, its very nice, all 4 amazing appeal like advertised, and excited for next run. Either crosses from this or other copycat genetics. I will give you beautiful glamout shots today, the sizes of the plants, My guesstimate bridal 1lb, thunder 1lb, pink, 0.4lb, bridal 0.5, I am ambitious off 640w lm301h, and 4x 20w blurples daisy chained. day 51 4 chopped see you in a few weeks :D

She's done! Whew! I can say that this wasn't my easiest grow. She had some issues in the beginning, due to over fertilizing (see diary) but she managed to produce some beautiful crystallized nuggets. I flushed her for a week but she looked so ready, and she's so loud, I had to chop her down. Stay tuned for the smoke report.

🚂 Cash Express – Pheno A Week 6 | Flowers Take the Lead One of the things I enjoy most about running a phenotype hunt is watching each plant reveal her personality one week at a time. Some explode with vigorous stretch. Others remain compact while quietly building flowers. Cash Express Pheno A seems to have found her own rhythm. Welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure! For anyone joining this diary for the first time, every plant in this project is being grown using the 12/12 From Seed method. Instead of deciding when flowering begins by changing the light cycle, every seed receives 12 hours of light from the day it germinates, allowing each phenotype to determine its own pace. Six weeks in, Cash Express Pheno A has fully embraced flowering. Now the focus is no longer on making flowers... It's about building them. ⸻ 🌼 The Flowering Engine Starts Running This week brought one of my favourite moments of early flower. The fresh white pistils that first appeared last week are now multiplying rapidly, and nearly every branch has begun forming small clusters that will eventually become proper buds. The plant may not be the tallest in the room, nor the largest, but she's proving that size isn't everything. Her energy is clearly being invested where it matters. Flower production. The internodes remain nicely spaced, allowing excellent light penetration throughout the canopy, while every growing tip seems eager to become its own flowering site. It's still early... But the blueprint for harvest is already being drawn. ⸻ 🌿 A Hands-Off Approach One thing that hasn't changed this week is my philosophy. Apart from a little gentle leaf tucking, I've deliberately avoided unnecessary intervention. No heavy defoliation. No aggressive pruning. No major training. Early flowering is one of the busiest periods in a plant's life. She's stretching, producing flowers, expanding her root system and adjusting her hormonal balance all at once. Whenever possible, I prefer letting her focus on that work instead of recovering from mine. Sometimes the best thing a grower can do... ...is simply stay out of the way. ⸻ 💧 AutoPot Continues To Deliver The AutoPot system continues doing exactly what it was designed to do. With the AquaValve automatically supplying fresh nutrient solution whenever the tray empties, the plant has complete control over when she drinks. There's no guessing. No fixed watering schedule. Just healthy roots deciding when they need food and water. Week after week, she continues responding beautifully to this consistency, maintaining steady growth while allowing me to focus on observation instead of constant irrigation. Sometimes the smartest systems are also the simplest. ⸻ 🍽️ Feeding This week's reservoir remained straightforward and stable, consisting of: • Terra Bloom – 1.9 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L • Green Sensation – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L The slight increase in nutrition made last week appears to have done exactly what I hoped. A few of the oldest fan leaves continue fading as the plant naturally reallocates nutrients toward new growth, but the process remains slow, controlled and completely expected. The upper canopy looks healthy, vibrant and full of life. Sometimes older leaves simply finish their job. And that's perfectly okay. Solution parameters remained stable at approximately EC 1.78 mS/cm with a pH of 6.0, providing a comfortable balance for continued flower development. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment Environmental conditions remained very consistent throughout the week. • Day temperature averaged 29°C • Night temperature remained around 25°C • Solution temperature stayed close to 22°C • Root zone averaged approximately 21°C • Relative humidity remained near 60% • Atmospheric CO₂ averaged roughly 639 ppm With flowers now beginning to establish themselves across the canopy, maintaining stable conditions becomes increasingly important. Healthy roots, consistent nutrition and a predictable environment allow the plant to dedicate her energy where it matters most—building flowers rather than reacting to stress. Everything continues moving exactly as planned. ⸻ 📸 Behind This Week's Photos This week's photographs capture a very enjoyable stage of the grow. The close-up shots highlight clusters of bright white pistils appearing at nearly every flowering site, while the full-plant portraits reveal a beautifully balanced structure with evenly spaced branches reaching toward the light. One detail that also stands out is the gradual fading of a few lower fan leaves. I intentionally include these moments because real grows aren't about chasing perfection. They're about understanding what the plant is telling us. In this case, she's simply shifting resources toward the next stage of her journey. And honestly... She looks fantastic doing it. ⸻ 🔍 Looking Ahead Next week should bring one of the most exciting transitions yet. The stretch will begin slowing down, while the flowers themselves should start stacking more aggressively along each branch. I'll continue keeping my hands mostly off the plant, limiting myself to occasional leaf tucking whenever a large fan leaf shades an important flowering site. The goal remains simple. Provide the best possible environment... ...and let the genetics do what they were designed to do. If she continues on this path, the coming weeks should become very exciting. ⸻ 💚 Thank You Thank you to everyone following this journey and growing alongside me. Whether you're here to learn something new, compare techniques, ask questions, or simply enjoy watching these beautiful plants develop, I'm genuinely grateful to have you here. A special thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries for providing a platform where growers from around the world can document, learn and inspire one another. 🌱 Zamnesia for the Cash Express genetics that continue to reveal their unique character with every passing week. 🌿 Plagron for providing the nutrition that supports every stage of this grow. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering the consistent lighting that powers this entire project. 💧 AutoPot for making irrigation beautifully simple while allowing the plants themselves to decide when they want to drink. And finally... Thank you to every grower who stops by these diaries. Every comment, every question, every bit of encouragement—and even every constructive criticism—helps make this project more valuable for the entire growing community. Growers Love, and I'll see you next week as Cash Express Pheno A leaves early flower behind and begins the exciting journey of turning these fresh white pistils into the resin-covered flowers we've all been waiting for. 🌱🚂💚

Week 8 Vegetation Report – Eternity Grow Cup Welcome back, everyone! We’re diving into another exciting update for our Eternity Grow Cup journey. This week marks week 8 of vegetation, and our girls are thriving! Let’s break it down: Growth & Structure All five phenos continue to impress, with strong, bushy growth and uniform structure across the board. They’re praying to the ThinGrowLED Model Ones, which have been running on channel one only, and they’re absolutely loving it. The leaf development is lush and vibrant, a sign that they’re thriving under the current conditions. Environmental Conditions We’re keeping things dialed in with stable environmental parameters: Temperature: 20.7°C Humidity: 57.2% CO2 Levels: 1569 PPM (a bit high but manageable) VPD: 1.05 kPa PPFD: 355 µmol/m²/s Each of these factors plays a crucial role in maximizing plant efficiency, and we’ll go deeper into why these values are set as they are. Featured Grow Gear – WCS2 Substrate Sensor This week, we’re also highlighting part of the grow gear in use—specifically, the WCS2 substrate sensor. This sensor measures: Soil temperature EC levels Water moisture It's currently placed in the Autopots, which are not yet connected. For now, we’re still top-feeding to encourage root expansion. By allowing the roots to reach the bottom of the pots before activating the Autopot system, we ensure they establish a strong foundation for optimal nutrient uptake. We’ll go deeper into this method and why it’s an essential step in the process. The Bigger Picture As always, this journey wouldn’t be possible without the support of some incredible people and brands. Big shoutout to: Zamnesia, Plagron, and GrowDiaries for making this competition a reality. Aptus Holland, TrolMaster, CannaKan, Grove Bags, and Ziggi Papers for their continued support.

Hi everyone, fantastic growers My experiment can be said to be successful! I germinated and collected two seeds in the same vase .... * Perhaps with a single seed I would have collected the same quantity, but it was worth trying and experimenting since I am contrary to trashing a seed already germinated! Everyone has the right to live his life ... especially if it's a question of increasing my stocks :)

27/02/19 - This one is great, I popped the seed 24hrs after the gelato and this one seems to be developing its leaves a lot faster than the rest, so far really happy with DNA and with mills nutrients, it’s a lot easier to mix and I no longer have to use ph down because once all mixed it’s at a 5.8/5.9. 👌🏻 02/03/19 - Just transplanted all into their final pot, just in time I think as it looked like the roots were starting to circle at the bottoms of the pot, sprinkled half a tea spoon of Mykos on each hole prior to the transplant & fed them 2.5 litres each. I was going to saturate the whole pot but I’ll do that next feeding.

Another good week. She started to flower. I missed a watering or 2 but she came right back. She's happy so I'm happy.
