my dry and cure style is this: 4 days of hanging upside down to get water activity lower to around 0.6 in 50% humidity and 26 C temp (i know its a little high but we are in a hot summer right now and i cant get it lower even with air conditioner) and then after 4 days of drying i remove leaves and stalks, trim buds and move them to jar for the rest of their life :D . and in the first 4 days of curing i open the jar door and let hem get some fresh air in the jar for about 5 minutes and close the jar door again, after 4 days of curing like that buds are smokable but they will get better as they getting cured about 1 month. buds are one of the hardest as fucking rocks type of buds! very dense , compact , sticky , smelly , amazing at every aspect growing stage was 60 days and flowering stage was 70 days total (harvested tops at day 63th) the total weight of dry buds was : top buds 174 G + lower buds 55 G = 229 G my overview of strain with details: the seeds: unfortunately i only got 1 seed cracked out of 5 so i will not know how much this genetic can get different but at least i got the chance to grow once of this wonderful strain the plant : in every stage you can ensure that you are dealing with a high level plant , she will get big so you have to control her height LST and SCROG highly recommended , will grow very well with tick stalks and big fan leaves , has good resistance for stress and will respond very well to stress trainings , she really has gorilla power in herself , fresh buds on plant : buds are very compact and dense even from start , fresh blossoms smells like pineapple and mango , 2 different shades of sweet smells like you hold 2 junks of pineapple and mango in your hand and you smell them together, she is a trichome and resin factory , very very sticky , very oily , strong smell dried buds: very compact and dense , hard as rocks , has dark colors with purple hues inside it , it smells sweet smoke : very smooth and sweet like lollipop , pineapple , mango like , after 2 minutes it'll kick in and you'll get higher and higher with every breath , has a strange and especial high mind high mostly

The Morello Cherries Auto has developed well in the last 10 days. My humidity was a little too low, but the plant is slowly starting to develop an aroma. It’s not very strong yet, but quite interesting—I’ll go into it further as the plant progresses. It shows initial signs of phosphorus deficiency. I might look for some organic phosphorus fertiliser. I still have some Biobizz Biobloom, which I could use sparingly, but I’d prefer to avoid adding too much nitrogen. Let’s see how it continues to develop.

7/19: Started new nutrients today. Filled gallon jug with new nutes. Poured half of new nute mix in half gallon jug. Poured the entire half gallon jug into reservoir. 7/20: Bumped light intensity to 50% 7/21: Filled reservoir to the 2nd line today. Added a total of 1 gallon to res to get it to that line. Poured the rest of the mixed nutes for this week (half gallon) and then another half gallon of just plain water. 7/24: Bumped light intensity to 55% 7/25: Sadness today 😞.. While in the process of doing more LST today I accidentally snapped the main stem. I Panicked! Moved plant back in opposite direction to counteract the split. Will be monitoring very closely! 🙏🏾 ***** For this Grow****** “Day Air Temperature” will be the max temp of tent for the week. “Substrate Temperature” will be the average temp of tent for the week. “Night Air Temperature” will be the lowest temp of the tent for the week.

20.05. I don't have anything special to write, today is the end of her third week, she hasn't made any special progress, the weather is constantly bad... today was a nice day and I took them outside to sunbathe after a long time, from tomorrow everything will be as usual, for the next week only rain, the temperatures won't be as low as before, but it won't be satisfactory either, during the day it will be okay, but again with a little sun... Stay high!

Week 2 · VEG (12/12 from Seed) We are now in Week 2 of VEG for Lemon Cherry Gelato, still running 12/12 from seed, and development is unfolding exactly as expected for this approach. At this stage, the plants remain compact and relatively small, which is completely normal. The focus right now is clearly below the surface, with energy being directed toward root development rather than top growth. This method is an art in itself, and part of the experience is observing how each genetic expresses under these conditions. ⸻ 🌱 Plant Development & Observations • Overall growth remains controlled and tight • No major stretch yet, as expected at this stage • By the end of Week 2, plants are already showing: • Three full pairs of true leaves • A fourth pair actively emerging, which is impressive for this timeline • Some plants are showing funky, personality-driven leaf expressions • Not present on all individuals • Leaf shapes look slightly irregular or playful • Curious to observe whether this: • Grows out into more standard leaf structure • Or remains a genetic trait as the plants mature This early individuality is one of the most interesting aspects of Lemon Cherry Gelato so far. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment (Unchanged) • Temperature: Same as previous week • Humidity: Same as previous week • Light Schedule: 12/12 from seed • Room & light setup: Identical to last week Consistency remains the priority. ⸻ 💡 Light Intensity (PPFD) • Current PPFD: ~500–600 PPFD • Compared to last week, intensity has increased slightly (~+50 PPFD), but still remains within the same controlled range Plants are growing into the light gradually, and it’s expected that visible top growth will increase once the root system is more established. ⸻ 💧 Watering & Feeding • Feeding & watering: Same as previous week • Nutrient regimen: Unchanged • pH / EC / TDS: Same stable values as before No adjustments needed at this point. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect • Increased growth speed once root development stabilizes • Continued leaf stacking and expansion • Early signs of structure and plant architecture becoming clearer • Possible clarification on whether the funky leaf traits persist or normalize 🚫 What Not to Expect (Yet) • No explosive vertical stretch yet • No need for heavier feeding • No drastic PPFD increases • No flowering behavior at this stage Patience is key here. ⸻ 📝 Final Notes Lemon Cherry Gelato is progressing right on schedule for a 12/12-from-seed run. While top growth may appear slow, internal development is clearly happening. The early leaf count and emerging personality traits make this one especially interesting to follow. This is one of those cases where observation matters more than intervention.

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.

small timelapse more comments and good pictures follow up, slowly my eyes are going better and better and I can come back to fully commitment again. Plant 1: Topping and LST done by scrogging Plant 2: Heavy LST on Mainstem and LST done by scrogging Plant 3: smallest plant, done nothing stunted early by a bit to much nutients + water (seed poped 3 days later treated the same because no time). Loads of fun right now with those plants and just for refence guys its JUST a 5Liter pot!!!!

Hello folks 😎 6th week of flowering and and no problem to report They drink about 5 liters every 4/5 days and this week after 2 watering with PK, i just put ph'd water to start reducing the PPM slowly until the end next week I'll give them a last small dose of nutrients (500 ppm max) and will follow the flush for the end, that's my plan 👌 my first impression on the smell that comes out, it's really piney/lemony ! 😍 unlike my Pineapple Kush, the buds are really huge on these Toxic 💪 but a little less frosty 😄 anyway Stay tuned and see you next week guys 😘 I also have another diary with one Pineapple kush if you want to see Peace Love & Weed GD Fam😍👊

It's time to dive into the exciting world of my Purple Lemonade FF in week 6 of vegetation. This gal continues to shine and perform like a true champion, making me proud with every passing day. Last week, I introduced the scrog net, and oh boy, did she respond with enthusiasm! It's like witnessing a botanical ballet, as her branches gracefully weave through the net, creating a lush and even canopy. I sometimes catch myself humming "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies" while tending to her. The scrog net truly is a masterpiece, guiding her growth and ensuring maximum light penetration. It's like a support system for her budding ambitions. Now, let's talk about IPM, or Integrated Pest Management, because every grower knows that prevention is key. I noticed some unwanted visitors in the form of thrips and fungus gnats, so it was time to take action. But hey, I prefer a natural approach, so I called upon some tiny allies to join the battle. I introduced nematodes to the soil, those microscopic warriors who feast on the unsuspecting pests. It's like having a secret army of predators ready to defend my precious plants. But that's not all! To further bolster the defenses, I invited some other beneficial insects to the party. Spical Ulti Mite and Swirskii, the mighty protectors, joined forces to keep those unwanted critters in check. It's like an epic showdown between the good, the bad, and the buggy. Who needs a superhero movie when you have a living ecosystem fighting the good fight? In a way, the scrog net and the IPM predators are like my own version of the Avengers. They work together, each with their unique skills, to create a harmonious and pest-free environment. It's a sight to behold, and I can't help but feel like the proud commander of this green army. So, my fellow growers, remember the power of the scrog net and the importance of an effective IPM strategy. Together, they ensure a thriving canopy and a fortress protected from unwanted pests. Let's continue this journey with enthusiasm, love, and a touch of humor. Stay tuned for the next update, where we'll unravel more tales from the flourishing world of my Purple Lemonade FF. Until then, keep dancing with your plants and let nature's superheroes be your allies!

https://lumatek-lighting.com/ <3 <3 <3 Growers love to you all <3 <3 <3 " Arising from a cross between purple and citrus Cali genetics, Purple Lemonade FF (Fastflowering) offers a complex high made up of perfectly balanced cerebral and body effects that are ideal for daytime use. Expect an extremely enjoyable high that boosts your mood while deeply relaxing your whole body and getting rid of muscle pain. This meticulous cross produces up to 550 g/m2 of some of the most beautiful purple buds, with pinkish and reddish hues that will catch everyone’s attention. The beautiful purple buds are ready for harvest in 7-8 weeks and come hand-in-hand with unbelievably sugary citrus terps that are just as refreshing as a cold lemonade on a hot Summer day. It’s the ideal variety for the sweet-tooth stoner seeking strains that deliver both in quality and quantity of resin. Bud Description Purple Lemonade FF grows chunky, spade-shaped buds that boast a whole range of pinkish-purple hues with rich, dark orange pistils shooting out of every direction. This variety stands out for the, oftentimes, lilac trichomes that give them a gorgeous pink tint and make for outstanding purple concentrates. The buds give off a delicious tart lemon aroma that reveals a sweeter, more fruity scent as you break the buds open. Definitely a must for flavor chasers and those looking for pungent terpene profiles. Smoke Reports Purple Lemonade FF offers an effect that’s just as unique as the flavor. Expect a potent uplifting high that gives you that energy boost you need to get things done while 100% happy and stress-free. The effect gradually transforms into a wave that works its way along the limbs and through the muscles, deeply relaxing your body and putting you in the right mindset to go through a busy day with a huge smile on your face. This is an excellent all-day smoke as it not only increases energy but can also help combat chronic pain, migraine and stress. Plant Appearance This feminized photoperiod variety develops a thick and strong structure, growing a medium-sized main cola with multiple shorter side branches, typical of hybrid strains. Purple Lemonade FF develops fairly short internodal spacing with gorgeous purple buds growing stacked on top of each other, making it the perfect choice for growers of all levels looking to get lots and lots of top-shelf purple weed, as this variety can produce up to 550 g/m2 in a 7-8 week flower cycle. Grow Tips This is a super fast feminized photoperiod version that takes approximately 7-8 weeks to flower with a 5-week vegetation cycle,, this means you can have faster harvests by shortening the veg cycle or have a longer veg cycle for bigger yields. Purple Lemonade FF (Fastflowering) makes for a great candidate for growers of all levels as it’s a vigorous strain that will thrive with basic maintenance both indoors and outdoors. This is a resin powerhouse so make sure to have your trim bin close by as all the resinous sugar leaves will make for the most mouth-watering hash and extracts. Flavor Expect a long-lasting citrus zest that taste just like it smells. Purple Lemonade FF reeks of a delicious blend of sweet fruits and tart citrus that’ll make your mouth water. On the inhale, expect sour flavors that taste just like lemon candy with hints of orange and a really subtle earthy background. And on the exhale, the citrus flavors open up, giving place to a more sugary berry fruitiness that leaves your whole mouth tasting like an extremely sweet weed-infused lemonade.
