It has been so hot, dry and yet humid this past week! We desperately need rain, if not I'll have to start trucking water from the house since the streambed is dry, which I included a video of. The girls are really stretching since they started to flower. Bubba Kush is the tallest at almost 60 inches and she has some lovely purple on her branches that I included in the photos. I finished up the Alaska brand fertilizer and found a local one at my garden supply store. It's from Saltwater Farm and it's a 3-2-2 Fish and Seaweed liquid fertilizer. They seem to like it just fine!

🌸 Week 5 Flower – Gelonade Journey What a week! The Gelonade girls are now stepping fully into their flower form, and it’s breathtaking to witness. The evolution is clear: their structure is leaning beautifully toward the sativa side, with long, elegant branches reaching outward and bud formations stretching gracefully. Even though Gelonade carries a 60% sativa / 40% indica balance, the girls are clearly showcasing their sativa influence, airy yet strong, expressive, and absolutely stunning. ✨ Sativa Stretch & Structure The branching is art in motion, every node working like a painter’s brushstroke on a living canvas. The main colas are elongating, and even the funky pheno is showing its own charm in how the leaves and flowers express themselves. It’s one of those weeks where you just stand back and admire. ⚙️ Smart Growing with Sensors The WCS2 substrate sensor from TrolMaster has been invaluable this week. It constantly reads moisture, EC, and temperature directly from the soil, helping to decide exactly when to feed and when to hold back. Instead of guessing, we’re guided by real data, a powerful ally for keeping the roots in balance. 💧 Nutrient Recipe Update This week we reintroduced Aptus All-In-One Liquid at 1 ml per liter, complementing the standing mix of Aptus Regulator, CalMag Boost, and Plagron Power Buds, Sugar Royal, and Green Sensation. The reasoning is simple: as the flowers demand more, a little extra balanced nutrition ensures the canopy stays lush while the energy shifts toward bud production. 💡 Inner Canopy Lighting One of the biggest joys this run is the extra canopy lighting. The Future of Grow and ThinkGrow LEDs shine from above, but the added under-canopy strips are filling gaps and ensuring photons penetrate deeply. Instead of shadowy corners, the girls are glowing top to bottom, every leaf touched by light. 🌿 Recap & What’s Next From seed to now — germination, veg, stretch, and into this fifth week of flower — the Gelonades have shown resilience and individuality. Pheno #2, with her unicorn leaves, continues to amaze, while both are stacking into tall, elegant forms. For next week, we expect more density building, pistils shifting color, and the first whispers of resin glands sparkling under the LEDs. The journey forward promises more fragrance, more structure, and more beauty still to come. 💚 Closing Thought This week, the Gelonades remind us of the elegance of balance, between sativa and indica, between stretch and strength, between data and instinct. Every leaf, every branch, every bud is a note in a song that is only just beginning to play. May the branches stretch without fear, may the buds swell with light, and may each day bring us closer to the harvest of dreams. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Подгибать перестал полностью. Соцветия начали потихоньку расти вширь. Заметил, что там, где света очень много (близко к лампе) соцветия более мелкие, чем чуть вдали. И там, где ветки близко к лампе на кончиках начинает альбиносить. Это не сильно плохо, но и не шибко хорошо. Такие соцветия чуть меньше содержат ТГК и чуть менее ароматные. В остальном ничего страшного. Влажность высокая очень, но тут уже ничего не сделать. Так как растение практически полностью заполнило весь бокс. Ночью до 80 доходит, днём в районе 70. Не знаю удастся ли избежать плесени, но тут уже как будет🤷‍♂️ Пьёт сейчас очень хорошо. До 4л в сутки. Собственно ответ - откуда такая влажность😏 Добавил доп свет сбоку. 50вт, две матрицы на радиаторе. Чтоб хоть немного снизу развивались соцветия. Не хочется иметь ведро попкорна.

Happy and Healthy.Rehomed into 5 gal fabric pot with Dynomyco. Recieved a top feed of 70/30 Gaia greens. Some worm castings on Day 30 with a dose of beneficial bacteria and teaspoon of molasses. Day 35 I’ve took before and after photos and spread her apart to get even canopy coverage. Light defoliation. Very healthy girl full of vigour! Thanks for checking up on the girl!

So the girls still look healthy, the flower sites are starting to set in now so some defoliation of the bottom skirt is required this week, time to decide whether I'm going to take some clones!! Have the girls a little sprinkle of barley and rockdust from Living Soils, nothing crazy just a couple of tbsp of each. The P1000 is still doing a good job at the moment but thinking I might need an upgrade soon, see what results I get!! Thanks for stopping by 👍

Well it's finally time to cut her down. It's day 95 post germination for this lady, and she's at maximum potency. All trichomes are cloudy with about 5-10% amber & she's giving out a mixed palet of aromas. I can smell a very distinct mix of lemon, urea, skunk, and spice. It was relatively easy plant to grow. I started in a super soul which ran out of nutrients early and I had to supplement with bottled nutrients. Going forward I'm going to have to put more thought into my initial soil composition. Please note: I'm only estimating the 'Wet Bud Weight'; for the purposes of this diary I estimated 12-16 ounces. Cannabis can loose up to 75% of its mass during the drying phase and based on past experience, I am expecting 4-6 ounces of finished flower. Dry/cure process: 1. Cut entire plant down by main stock 2 hang upside down in a dark room with controlled humidty and temps.... - Temperature should range from 67-72 °F, and my humidity will range between 57-60%. 3. Full trim complete after 8-11 days of drying. 4. Stick in Mason jars indefinitely with 2-way Boveda humidty packs (62%). 4-20. Smoke 2 joints before you smoke 2 joints.. and then you smoke 2 more ☮️ I'll post a thorough smoke report in roughly 3 weeks Thank you growdiaries.com Thank you growmies Thank you Fastbuds

NONE AT ALL. checked every one of them im running outta space, 16 inches left to the light

Girls grew a lot these two weeks. I was away on vacation and they did fine. Except I wasn't there to control the stretch perfectly. But you don't have to be perfect every time. I managed to take some clones from one monster plant. Fingers crossed she will end up with purple flowers.

So at this point this plant is my mad scientist project. I have clones it, super cropped it, and now I’m main lining it. I’m surprised it’s still alive but I guess it’s good I pulled so many clones. Looking forward to seeing how it heals and what it does on the rebound
