Second week of flower went well. The plant has over double the size at this point and we have early signs buds forming within the second week. Continuing to keep the light about 12 to 14 in above the canopy as the plant stretches. Plants are getting really bushy will prepare for a day 21 leaf strip to clear out the canopy and to allow for air flow while dropping humidity. Will also try to implement a second scrog for support.Currently The single seed Sent from khalifa for grow Contest is tallest pheno in the tent and healthiest looking that pheno will show on the top right in any of the disclosed pictures and videos.

Fruity Pebbles auto is growing great. This is plant 1, plant 2 is in a different nutrition. They are both under the Medic Grow Mini Sun-2 she just got her first lst, and light defoliation today. She also got her roots pruned. Everything is looking really good.

Flowering Week 6 – Fading Leaves, Persistent Flies The sixth week of flowering brought a mix of progress and persistent problems. The whitefly issue unfortunately hasn’t gone away. I replaced both yellow sticky traps at the end of the week, and within minutes, two new whiteflies were already spotted on the fresh left trap. The old one had four additional flies on the back. This pest pressure remains a concern, but I’ve decided to hold off on further neem oil sprays for now, given how far along we are in flowering. I’ll keep monitoring closely. Nutrient-wise, I stayed cautious this week due to ongoing signs of overfeeding. Leaf tips are still showing yellowing and some burn, especially on the lower leaves. Many leaves have pronounced yellow spots and curled tips — a clear sign of excess nutrients earlier on. To reduce stress, I watered with plain pH-adjusted water (5.5–6.0). Total watering volume was approximately 29 liters This week I also did a second round of lollipopping, focusing on removing all small popcorn buds and lower growth under the net that wouldn’t develop well. Despite the nutrient stress and the ongoing whitefly presence, the plants are still developing well. Buds are getting chunkier, trichome production is visibly increasing, and the overall structure is solid. Still, I’ll be keeping a close eye on both leaf health and pest activity in the coming days. ⸻ TL;DR – Week 6: • New whiteflies still showing up – 7 total seen this week. Both sticky traps replaced. • Additional lollipopping done: removed popcorn buds and shaded growth under SCROG. • Leaf symptoms (tip burn, spotting) persist – watered with plain pH water, once with half HESI dose. • Watered 3x this week: 9.5 L (pH only) • Light stayed at intensity level 7

This week has gone great! Apricot auto has taken very well to the topping,feedings and the low stress training. I must say,it’s a very resilient cultivar. Very excited to see the flower she produces.

Coming soon

Son 2 plantas de esta genetica. Una es mas vigorosa que ptra, pero son muy similares en cuanto a su fenotipo. En esta semana ya notamos el engorde que se viene propiciando luego del overdrive. Tratamos de a poco ir bajando la EC para llegar 0.0 en el corte. La luz sigue baja procurando mantener una buena seleccion de terpenos y resina.

Eccoci qui... Settimana prossima si tagliaaaaa!!!! Finalemente siamo arrivati alla fine con questa piccola mi sono divertito è stato bellissimo coltivarla outdoor, è venuta bassa ma molto molto compatta!!! Grazie a tutti per il supporto

Week 15 From Seed | Lemon Cherry Gelato 🍋🍒 | Drying, Trimming & Curing Begins Well… Here we are again 😄 Another chapter of this Lemon Cherry Gelato run officially closes, and honestly, this update feels like the moment where the entire grow finally becomes “real medicine.” First of all, once again, apologies for dividing the harvest into multiple reports lately. I know the updates have been stretched across several weeks, but honestly… with the amount of documentation, photos, macros, videos, trimming sessions, resin collection, curing observations, and extraction experiments we have been doing lately, trying to compress everything into a single update would almost feel disrespectful to the process itself. And this run deserves the proper attention. So for everyone arriving now, quick recap: These Lemon Cherry Gelato girls were grown entirely under 12/12 from seed. No traditional vegetative phase. No massive training sessions. No giant bush shaping. Just letting the genetics express themselves naturally while documenting the process from beginning to end. And what these girls became honestly surprised me. Compact plants. Thick trunks. Heavy branches. Dense stacking. Ridiculous resin production. And some seriously loud terpene expression. The previous report reflected harvest itself: - the fade, - the structure, - broken branches, - resin-covered fingers, - hanging flowers, - drying environment, - and all the beautiful chaos surrounding harvest week. This report becomes the next important stage: Drying. Trimming. Finger hash. Final flower preparation. And the beginning of cure. The girls dried for roughly 10 days under controlled conditions: - around 18–20°C, - roughly 60% RH, - with the first couple of days slightly lower around 45% to help surface moisture leave the flowers safely before stabilizing the room again. And honestly… the dry came out beautifully. Dense flowers like these always make growers slightly nervous during drying because chunky buds can trap moisture surprisingly easily. But breaking the plants into branches instead of hanging full plants ended up being absolutely the right decision here. The branches slowly reached that perfect moment growers wait for: not snapping aggressively… not bending softly… …but that beautiful little “click.” That tiny sound telling you: “Okay. It’s time.” So naturally… Mr. Baggy joined the trimming session 😄 Studio lights on. Trim bin ready. Scissors ready. Music playing. Gloves on. And branch by branch, these girls slowly transformed into jars full of finished medicine. And honestly? These plants were absurdly sticky. Not just frosty visually. Actually greasy. The kind of resin that keeps building layer after layer on the gloves until eventually you stop trimming for a moment and realize you accidentally created little hash sculptures on your fingertips again 😄 Which brings us to one of the best parts of this report: Finger hash. Or more specifically in this stage: classic trimming resin collected during dry manicure. Every session slowly left behind beautiful sticky resin on the gloves and fingers, and instead of wasting it, everything got collected carefully with patience and love. And wow… These girls made AMAZING finger hash. Soft. Oily. Extremely workable. Instantly greasy with just body heat alone. No aggressive heat needed. No real pressure needed. Just the warmth from the hands was enough to start transforming the resin into beautiful little temple balls almost immediately. That alone already says a lot about resin quality. We even documented the full process: - trim collection, - kief separation, - resin handling, - pressing, - shaping, - and the final little temple balls. And honestly, seeing the transformation from loose resin into a perfectly smooth little sphere never gets old. There’s something deeply satisfying and strangely ancient about it. The final dry numbers honestly made me extremely happy too: Plant 1: 304.5 grams dry trimmed flower. Plant 2: 163.5 grams dry trimmed flower. Total: 468 grams of dry cured manicured medicine. And for a 12/12-from-seed run? That’s honestly fantastic. Especially considering how compact these plants actually were physically. Small-ish structure… massive output. Exactly the kind of run that keeps teaching you not to judge plants purely by height. The flowers themselves turned out gorgeous: - dense, - compact, - extremely resinous, - loud aroma, - beautiful coloration, - swollen calyxes, - and surprisingly heavy for their size. The terpene profile already started evolving beautifully during trimming too. That loud fresh-harvest sharpness slowly began softening into something deeper and sweeter: - creamy citrus, - candy-like fruit, - gas, - soft cherry sweetness, - earthy backend notes, - and occasional creamy dessert-like moments depending on the jar. And this is where curing now becomes incredibly important. Because harvest is not the finish line. Curing is where flowers slowly begin becoming complete. For storage and cure, we decided to use both: - traditional glass jars, - and Grove Bags. And honestly, both have their strengths. Glass jars remain timeless: simple, effective, reliable, beautiful for long-term observation and burping routines. Meanwhile Grove Bags bring modern humidity-control technology into the process and honestly make maintaining stable curing conditions dramatically easier when used properly. The idea is not “one replacing the other.” It’s more about understanding different tools and seeing how each behaves over time. And speaking of beautiful details… Huge thank you to Zamnesia for the gorgeous storage jars with the engraved lid design because honestly… they look incredible 😄 Little details matter. Especially during cure. Because curing becomes ritualistic in a strange way: opening jars, checking aromas, observing moisture, feeling texture changes, watching flowers slowly mature week after week. The medicine almost feels alive during this phase. We also included: - trimming timelapses, - resin handling, - branch breakdowns, - finger hash photos, - hanging flower shots, - studio trimming moments, - and a bunch of closeups because honestly these girls deserved proper documentation until the very end. And next week… Next week becomes the final chapter. Smoke review. Full cure review. Flavor translation from smell to smoke. Effect profile. Breakdown texture. Ash quality. Terpene evolution. Final impressions. And the real question: How did this Lemon Cherry Gelato actually become as medicine after all this time? Because now the grow part is mostly over. What remains is experience. And honestly… that’s the most important part. Huge thank you once again: - Zamnesia, - Plagron, - the LEDs, - all the gear involved, - GrowDiaries, - the community, - the old followers, - the silent supporters, - the curious new visitors, - and everyone spending even a few minutes following these updates. And of course… Thank you Mr. Baggy 😄💙 He survived another trimming session somehow. See you all in the final chapter 🌱

Germination went well she was a beautiful large purple seed when I see her I knew she was going to be a nice phenotype . I use fish tank water as my base which is 350 parts per million then I added 1 ml of biogrow and 0.25 ml of biobloom . pH 6.5

Week 12 During this week I will continue to flush the plant only with water. I guess that this could be the last week, let's see what trichomes will say! D79: added 5 liters of tap water to continue the flush. The plants has stunning colourful buds! D81: added 5 liters of water. Trichomes check: there is a quite good balance between amber and milky; two days to the harvest. D83: end of the journey!

Semana 9 Los cogollos continúa avanzando con fuerza en su fase final de engorde, aumentando progresivamente su densidad, dureza y peso. La producción de resina se mantiene muy elevada y las flores muestran una estructura cada vez más compacta y madura. Los pistilos comienzan progresivamente a oscurecerse y retraerse. El aroma se está volviendo especialmente intenso, con un perfil cítrico y fresco acompañado de notas marcadas de combustible, haciendo que el carácter terpénico de esta genética destaque cada vez más. ⚡ EC: 1.7–1.8 💧 pH: 6.2–6.4 🌡️ Agua: 19–21°C 🌫️ Humedad: 45–50% 💡 Luz: PPFD 900–1000 | Fotoperiodo 12/12 🔥 Nota: Continúo manteniendo unas condiciones estables y una nutrición equilibrada, acompañando el máximo engorde y la maduración de las flores sin forzar la planta. Seguimos creciendo fuerte! 💪

Big week, started to strap down the trees. Tied branches to main stem and stakes around the plants so as to open them up a bit and provide support in case of windy conditions. Only staked the pair and not the three in the back yet. This was a bit of a mistake as the big one in the back needed it sooner. Defoliation of note... need to keep defoliating these trees all the time. Pretty relaxing though...

Beginning of week.. Damn she is a very nitrogen sensitive bitch! I really hope she starts to thicken up some.. I think it hurt the yeild some.. Unless she thickens up nicely. It's not as bad as I've seen other nitrogen toxic plants.. With every single leaf cupped or clawing downward.. But the top leaves are pretty clawed.. And even alot of the sugar leaves throughout the plant.. Damnit.. Also, I've noticed that she is actually using up nutrients like FastBuds said.. The runoff has been coming out alot lower than it is going in.. I guess they weren't bullshitting me lol.. Blah whatever.. Damnit, I really hope I didnt fuck this up 🤦🤞🤞🤞 Almost mid week... So I'm using a Brita pitcher with filter for my tap water.. It doesn't do much lol.. Some, of course.. But I'm also using a very cheap filter in it.. Wal-Mart brand.. Which sucks.. But that is helping bring the TDS of nutrient solution down from 1000 PPM - 1100 PPM to about 850 PPM - 900 PPM.. Just regular tap water from 240 PPM - 260 PPM down to 180 PPM - 190 PPM.. Like I said.. Some.. But not much. I'm not sure if there should be any changes to the plant if the nitrogen toxicity is cleared out.. I went ahead and did a nice flush to get all that shit out of the medium.. It should have helped.. Still going to keep the FloraMicro down.. I really hope this doesnt hurt the yield or taste!!!! I'm assuming she should be close to about halfway thru flower so she should have time to recover before flushing and harvesting.. Will be updating with pics tomorrow! Oh.. And I also lowered the light to 14 inches from the canopy.. Well.. To the tallest cola lol Mid week.. She is still maintaining herself.. The trichomes are so beautiful!.. Been keeping the PPMs a bit lower than I think I should.. I think Calcium deficiency is popping back up.. I think I'm seeing some new spots pop up.. Not too bad.. And it could just be from when I was flushing a bit at the beginning of the week.. Havent changed the amount of CalMag so I imagine that's what it's from. But other than that and the nitrogen toxicity, she is doing good! Next day (Merry Christmas!🎄).. So the trichome heads are still normal (not purple like I thought).. But the trichome stems(?) are purple. So fucking gorgeous.. But I can still see that the trichome heads are clear/milky/amber.. There are already quite a few milky! Damn.. Maybe FastBuds actually means 9 - 10 weeks from seed! Lol.. The colas are starting to fatten up a bit.. So I'm happy! I really enjoy the narcotic effect so I'm gonna harvest when there are quite a bit of amber trichomes.. My Lemon Berry from ETHOS had not many amber.. And the high is very paranoid like lol.. Dont get me wrong.. I love the high.. But paranoia is definitely there lol.. So I'm trying to avoid that with this girl! Later that night... So after running a couple gallons through the Brita pitcher filter (with Wal-Mart brand filter), the TDS is coming out around 150 PPM!!! Ok.. So not bad lol.. Works MUCH better than I figured it would! NICEeEeEe... Lol.. But as for the love of my life (lol not kidding).. She is starting to swell for sure!.. Still think she's gonna be a little airy tho.. But she shouldnt yeild small! End of week.. Not seeing any new clawing.. Starting to see more spots.. I mean, they are super bad.. But there are alot throughout the girlie.. So as I've been feeding, watering, feeding, watering, etc... I've noticed the runoff PPM aren't as high as they normally would be.. This could be why the spotting is happening.. Not sure if these spots are from Calcium.. Magnesium.. Or even something else.. It's kinda hard to tell.. But honestly I'm not too concerned about them.. She is not TOO too far from harvesting.. Haven't began to flush yet.. But I think that may be happening very soon.. Maybe 1 more week of weak feedings and then 2 weeks of flushing.. I am definately seeing plenty of cloudy trichomes.. And some amber now.. I will be trying to get some pics of the trichomes next week for sure! They are so pretty! This is one finicky bitch for sure! But now that I know her issues, it should make it quite easier to avoid the same issues next time I grow her! Still very happy with this girl!... On to the next!!!...
