Hello. This is the end of week 11 and the start of week 12 of veg. The plants are doing well and have been growing since last week. Did some "push the branches under the table rungs" training yesterday. Spreading them out for more big top buds. Plant #6 is a little more yellow than the others. I've either overwatered it or the soil is a little too hot with the compost I've added. I also add some lime this year. I added about a Tbsp. per pot when I was mixing the soil for these pots. I'll let it dry out, I mean not water this plant when I water the rest next time, and see what it looks like then. It is the smallest and slowest growing plant of the bunch.... so it probably the overwatered thing. Next, I've got to get my top net up this week, without wrecking the plants. OK. Be Cool. Chuck. I'd like to talk a bit about myself. It was my "5 year" throat cancer check up, last week. The doctor couldn't find anything wrong when she shoved that long camera thingy up my nose and down my throat. To look for anything amiss on the inside, because she couldn't find anything wrong when she did the physical part of the exam. No lumps, no bumps, no sore spots,... she gave me the "All's Clear" and said this is the last visit... If you find anything in the future come back... So I'll keep up with my RSO (Rick Simson Oil... look it up) maintainace dose and keep growing my medical cannabis. It was the best of news 😁😋😎 Happy to tell you about it, and what I've done for myself to to get here. Just ask if your interested. OK. Be Great. Chuck.

The Fruit spirit looks gorgeous. The only thing bothering me is that the leafs are getting packed in one place. Is not growing on hight that much. The Blue Cheese automatic started I believe it’s 3th week and looks good and healthy. The Triple G is still a seedling and it had some problems in the beginning as the seed cover kept staying on it until it went out of the soil, so it was looking like it’s going to die, let’s hope for the best. This week i made the first topping of the Fruit Spirit. Once i get the new stems growing I’m starting the LST. I started taking them out on the sun from time to time.

Bon, la végétation est suffisante pour moi alors let's go 12/12 d'ici deux ou trois jours !!

Can I smoke it already?! Ice Cream Cake by nature, the bud is covered i pure sweet resin goodness! Harvest soon!!

04/10 empieza la 4ta semana, la semana que empiezan a formarse las flores, parece que el riego con cal - mag + top bloom funcionó. 05/10 se riega con 2 litros EC: 0,5 ph: 6.4 07/10 se riega con 3 litros de agua. Se uso agua de ósmosis inversa + Cal mag para llegar a EC 0.4 y se agregan 4.5 ml de Big One de top crop. EC final 0.5 PH: 6.4 No hay drenaje, parece haber tenido sed estos días 10/10 último día de la semana. se riega con 5 litros de agua para obtener drenaje porque sospechaba que el ph estaba bajando nuevamente y otra vez me encontré con el ph del sustrato en 5.8. Voy a empezar a regar con el ph en 6.8 o 7 hasta corregir eso.

She need heavy feed to develop her whole potential but not from the beggining, maybe since flowering time. You can expect long stems, huge leaves, large size and very dense buds. I got foxtail buds but just in 1 of 3 seeds I used it. I recommend to use a good cal/mag nutrition because I had some defficencies with it. She likes dink lot of water but she doesn't like hight temps I recommend lower than 28º C.

Didn't stretch as much as she might have done which suits me. On target for plenty of compact buds. Taking the Shogun coco nutrient range like a champ. Only issue I've had is having to defoliate more times than I'd like.

What up family, apologies for the late update. After being gone for a week and coming back to see these amazing girls they leave me shocked how much they've swelled in that time. These girls are still a couple weeks from being finished. All in all Happy Growing

Week 5🌸 done, first day of week 6 They are developing beautifully Studio & Rainbow Gelato are heavy stinkers - sweet + gassy It seems like Bruce Banner in the back could get more feeding Will up the volume of water a little in the following week I take out a few leafes here and there, don’t seem to stress them a bit At nighttime it gets pretty cold, 16/17 degrees so some of the pistils tops (Blütenstempel) are getting dark

12/12 from seed. Week 12 overall. Week 8 of flower. And Cosmic Noodles is doing exactly what a finisher should do. No drama. No panic. No chasing numbers. Just a massive plant, a controlled fade, and a very clear push into the final stretch. She is not limping to the finish. She is arriving with weight. ⸻ 🍜 The Final Reduction This week, everything comes out except Pure Zym. No bloom feed. No boosters. No extras. No correction bottles. No late flower chasing. Just enzymes. And time. At this point, the goal is no longer to build. The goal is to finish clean. She has already done the hard part. The bulk is there. The frost is there. The density is there. Now the plant is simply being allowed to use what she has already stored. That’s the shift this week. Less input. More observation. Less pushing. More finishing. And for a plant this far along, that is often the better move. ⸻ 🌱 Why Keep Pure Zym In Because even when feed stops, the root zone is still working. Pure Zym stays because the medium is still alive. Microbial activity does not stop just because bottles do. At this stage, enzymes still help break down residual organic matter in the root zone, keep the medium cleaner, and support a softer transition as the plant begins consuming what remains available. That matters even more when the soil is not treated like disposable media. Because it isn’t. This soil still has a second job after this run. It goes outside. It gets reused. It feeds vegetables. It stays alive. And whether it is hard science, soft biology, or just grower instinct — keeping that soil active until the end has always made sense here. Not everything needs to be sterile to be effective. Sometimes the better approach is simply not killing what is still working. ⸻ ? Living Soil, Second Life That has always been part of the rhythm. What finishes the room does not leave the cycle. It just changes jobs. Once this run is done, that soil goes back outside and keeps working somewhere else. Different crop. Same biology. Same purpose. So yes — keeping the medium active late matters. Not just for this harvest. For what comes after it too. Call it practical. Call it circular. Call it habit. Either way, dead soil has never been the goal. ⸻ 📉 EC Down, pH Up, Eyes On the Plant This is where the spreadsheet starts losing authority. EC is down. Input is nearly gone. pH has drifted upward into that 6.8–7 range. And right now, it is not being forced back down. Not because numbers do not matter. Because context matters more. At this stage, the plant is finishing. Uptake is slowing. Demand is lower. Feed has been reduced. The root zone is doing less work than it was two weeks ago. So yes — on paper, some of these numbers would make people uncomfortable. In practice? The plant looks exactly like a plant that is finishing correctly. Still drinking. Still praying. Still stacking. Still fading evenly. Still moving from top to bottom without confusion. That matters more than chasing a perfect chart in the final stretch. Room VPD is a reference. Leaf response is the truth. And this room continues to be read by plant behavior first, numbers second. As always. ⸻ 🌡️ Conditions Stay Stable Nothing changed in the room because nothing needed to. Conditions remain steady. No dramatic swings. No forced stress. No late-stage environmental tricks. The room is stable. The plant is stable. The finish is stable. And late flower stability is one of the most underrated parts of a clean finish. No heroic adjustments. No panic corrections. No reinvention in the last chapter. Just consistency. ⸻ ️ A Proper Finisher And this one is a beast. Not “good structure.” Not “nice tops.” A beast. Huge central cola. Heavy side stacking. Dense flower formation. Thick terminals. Real weight from top to bottom. This is one of those plants that stops being judged branch by branch and starts being judged as mass. Because the whole frame is carrying. She is not finishing in isolated tops. She is finishing as a full plant. That matters. The top is heavy. The mid is real. The lowers are still worthwhile. And the entire plant is moving together. That is what a complete finisher looks like. ⸻ ❄️ Frost, Density & Finish Quality And she is not just big. She is finishing properly. Dense flower. Heavy resin. Excellent frost coverage. Strong calyx development. Good terminal formation. Real weight in the hands. The important part now is that she is not only stacking size — she is finishing with quality. That is the difference between a plant that looks impressive and a plant that actually delivers. This one does both. And whether part of her gets dried or part of her gets frozen, she has already made the case for both. That decision can wait. Right now, the only job is to let her finish. ⸻ 🍂 The Fade Is Real — And It’s Everywhere The fade is already underway. And more importantly, it is happening correctly. Not isolated. Not patchy. Not confused. She is fading from top to bottom. Across the plant. Across the canopy. Across the frame. That matters. A uniform fade tells a very different story than a stressed collapse. This is not random yellowing. This is not deficiency panic. This is senescence. The plant is reallocating. The cycle is closing. The finish has started. And she is doing it evenly. That is exactly what you want to see here. ⸻ 💡 Canopy Light Matters And once again, the lesson stays the same: Canopy lighting matters. When the full frame is finishing together, it shows. When lowers stay relevant, it shows. When the plant matures with less separation between top and bottom expression, it shows. Uniform development is not an accident. Top-to-bottom consistency like this is one of the clearest arguments for proper canopy penetration when the setup allows for it. Not mandatory in every room. But when possible, absolutely worth it. This plant makes that case on her own. ⸻ 📘 Week 12, Cosmic Noodles This is what the late game should feel like. Calm. Heavy. Controlled. Predictable. Close. No overreaction. No bottle panic. No forced finish. Just a large, healthy plant using the last of what she has and moving toward the end exactly like she should. And that is all this week needed to be. ⸻ ⏭️ What Comes Next Next week should bring more fade. More color loss. Less drinking. More swelling where it still matters. And a clearer final read on timing. She may finish next week. She may ask for a little longer. Both are still on the table. What should not happen is panic. No sudden overfeeding. No late corrections. No chasing green back into a plant that is already doing what finishing plants are supposed to do. From here, the job is simple: Watch the leaves. Watch the resin. Watch the pace. Then cut when the plant says so. ⸻ 🤝 Thank You To the long-time followers. To the new ones. To the quiet readers. To the loud ones. To the skeptics. To the supporters. To the critics.

Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

Can I just say, these plants growth and development have been awesome, in the beginning she just grew horizontally and at a snail rate, but in my absence it’s like she was preventing her growth, and the problem with Monday’s Blue, it’s pot was not filled to the brim with grow medium (alike Unknwon Strain), unlike the other 4 plants so it did not get enough wind and sunlight, but guess what, nature always makes a plan. Look at her now.

Howdy! I have premixed 1L worth of PH adjusted nutrient solution which I am periodically syringing on top of the rock wool when it starts to get dry. I see some people only use RO water with cal-mag to start them off, but through my own unscientific opinion I figured 550 PPM won’t hurt considering seeds grow in soil and that isn’t exactly nutrient free! I am using RO water which I will keep in a 70 litre bucket ready for the DWC system once it is up and running. RO system was only £50/$80/€60 from the internet and it’s getting my hard water down to 0-1PPM from 450PPM. Growing my ladies in a smallish tent, 60 x 120cm which is 180cm high. Using one 315w LEC/CMH for the first two weeks, and then adding another 315w after week two. Using 4200k bulbs for veg, 3200k bulbs for bloom. Will take more pictures of the set up in the next week or so once the babies are in the 70 litre DWC Bubble System. Planning on buying Silica Blast to compliment nutrients in the next week or so. Ps, I believe this is the first DWC grow diary for Strawberry Lemonade, hopefully my mistakes and successes over coming weeks will help anyone who reads this! 🌱

I put the baby’s into the scrog a few days ago they look super healthy and are growing rapidly:)

So far so good, I guess. I think magnesium deficiency in some plants but I’m not quite sure yet. I have plan to feed some nutrients in next few days. And I’m really looking for some suggestion and that would be my pleasure.

14.09.21.Банане 2 недели, развитие сумасшедшее. Опрыскиваю по листу на ночь динамиксом.русские производители обещают эффект мегафола, а он мне понравился. Так как цена демократичная, я решил попробовать этого производителя. Также купил стимулятор для корней, аналог радифарм. Ок. Девчонке нравится. Лист выглядит здоровым, сочныма корневая мне не видна😁, но вершки хороши, значит и корешки в норме. Пересадили в 16 л airpot в 12 дней. Полет продолжается. Буду добавлять мысли в течение недели. Всем растафарай! 15.09.21 сегодня начались тренировки у девчонки. К lst я отношусь всегда творчески и с азартом. Каждое растение как и человек - уникально, тренировки интересны возможностью применять весь потенциал своей фантазии на 100%. За это растения благодарят нас большими урожаями и эстетической красотой. 17.09.21 Банана растёт и пухнет. Дал корневой стимулятор рутфарм. 2мл/л. Со вчерашнего дня у нас похолодание до +10 днем и +3 ночью, поэтому решено было включить днат 400, так как мой бокс расположен на балконе. Ещё немного подогнул ствол и убрал листья от боковых побегов. Полет продолжается, спасибо за ваше внимание, гровер!)) 19.09.21. Немного растянуд девчонку сегодня днем, растёт не плохо, но видно, что после пересадки переключилась на корни. Поливаю через день, полет продолжается! Всем спасибо, что уделяет внимание моему дневнику🙏🙏🙏

I'll have to come back with a smoke report

hi guys, This strain is fast becoming a fat lady😃💪 I love the smell, it reminds me of lemon and orange now with that touch of "fizz" if you know what i mean👍 .... it forgives mistakes (I gave her a little too much .. so she got burned a bit ...😐 she does not like much fertilizer .... very surprising .... noticed for the next time👆 ... but otherwise everything looks pretty good .. let's see how long she still grows, since she already looks premature .... because of this year's heat wave, all my plants have had problems in the root zone. these problems are now unfolding their effect .. the root zone has taken so much damage that the roots can no longer properly feed the plant, resulting in finishing wayyyy too fast ... shit happens The resin production is of the hook and she is producing more and more😍 The grow: ph 5.8 Ec.0.9 i will lower it to 0.8 and inrease N a bit at the same time RHD:45% very good for this stage.. have a nice one people till next week
