Great growth this week with almost all the plants touching the scrog net , I altered the photo period today and put them onto a bloom formula , next week will be LST training to fill the scrog canop. Weather is cooling off so I can start using the co2 burner again .

The experience was good. Easy grow and attractive plant. I wouldn't grow autos with 1212 again tho. Only if in 20/4 because I think yield was effected dramatically. Maybe not, but in going to testit next veg cycle to tell. Beautiful plant otherwise tho. Violets and purple hues.

🍋 Lemon Cherry Gelato — Week 7 from Seed Flower Week 3 | 12/12 from Seed Welcome back everyone — and welcome to anyone just joining the journey 👋 This is our Lemon Cherry Gelato update, currently Week 7 from seed, which we’re considering Flower Week 3 in our 12/12-from-seed room. There’s a lot to talk about this week, so let’s start by bringing everyone up to speed. ⸻ 🌱 Quick Recap — How We Got Here This run is part of a larger 8×8 mixed-genetics environment, where multiple cultivars share the same room, light strategy, and environment. The approach from day one has been: • low stress • observational • plant-led decisions • learning in real time No chasing perfection — just paying attention. The Lemon Cherry Gelato plants have been vigorous and very bushy since early on, with strong branching and dense foliage that required intervention as flower development began to accelerate. ⸻ ✂️ Defoliation — Why This Week, Why This Way This week we performed a fairly deep defoliation, similar to what was done on a few other girls in the room. Why? • The plants were extremely bushy • Light penetration was becoming limited • Airflow needed improvement • Bud sites were stacking fast We removed a significant amount of inner and overlapping foliage to: • allow photons to pass through the canopy • improve airflow • help the plant focus energy where it matters It may look aggressive in photos, but it was done intentionally and carefully. ⸻ 🌿 Plant Structure & Phenotypes You’ll notice two slightly different expressions in the photos: • First photos → Lemon Cherry Gelato • Second one → what we’re calling the “other” Cherry Gelato Both plants: • very bushy • beautifully structured • incredibly lush green One plant showed some funky leaf expressions, but nothing concerning — genetics being genetics. Both were defoliated deeply, but not excessively — just enough to give them room to breathe. They are not alone in the room, and in a shared environment, balance matters. ⸻ 🔥 Minor Observations • A few burned leaves from under-canopy lighting • Nothing serious • Easily managed • Already addressed You’ll spot them in some of the mini photos. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment & Feeding — Why We Changed Nothing This week, nothing was changed on purpose. Current parameters: • Day temperature: ~28 °C • Relative Humidity: ~65% • EC: 2.4 • pH: 6.5 • Plant height: ~40 cm to ~80 cm • Lighting: LED Many growers would say these temperatures are too high for flower — but context matters. Under LED lighting, leaf surface temperature runs ~2–4 °C cooler than ambient room temperature. Because of that, we focus on leaf VPD, not room VPD. The plant is what matters — not the number on the wall. We are not chasing numbers. We are paying attention to them. ⸻ 🌱 Plant Response The plants are telling us clearly that they’re happy: • deep, lush green foliage • no visible stress • strong internodal structure • uniform nutrient uptake across phenotypes When the plant is happy, stability beats adjustment. That’s why the feeding stayed exactly the same this week. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect (and Not Expect) Next Week What we expect: • visible bud stacking • calyx development accelerating • stretch slowing down • energy shifting fully into flower production What we don’t expect: • major environmental changes • aggressive interventions • unnecessary corrections Next week is about watching, listening, and letting the plants work. ⸻ 🙏 Final Words To our humble eyes, this garden is looking outstanding — but we’re always open to: • criticism • suggestions • questions • different perspectives Lovers, haters, followers, OGs, newcomers — everyone is welcome here. This is a shared space, and interaction is how we all grow.

Trust me, you won’t want to miss the next steps, let’s push the boundaries of indoor horticulture together! As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together. With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. 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.

Well she seemed to slow down and now her roommates have over taken her. But fingers crossed she still put out some nice buds The cheese candy is starting to become more smelly this week stay tuned....

Привет садоводы !!! началась новая неделя и сегодня я полил свою красавицу ,чистой водой из подземного источника и полил я ее в последний раз потому ,что она уже полностью готова ветки готовы завалиться не знаю как она там вообще держится пальцы после нее пахнут сладко так ,что подожду еще 3-4 дня пока высохнет земля и HARVEST !

Hello world, 🇬🇷 the previous week was good,the girls are growing and they were finally transplanted...everything seems OK,I would prefer them to be a bit bigger but they need their time...what I have changed the previous week was the ph of the water...I now adjust it to 6,0...since there's no playing around with nutes I have to play with something... WEEK 4: "WHERE THE GRASS IS GREEN AND THE GIRLS ARE PRETTY..." ☠️Day 22...💧they need to be watered daily,500 ml each time,as the sun dries their soil out...no need for nutes...Just add water and off you go!!!Today it's gonna be hot...37°C...I will have to keep them inside under the Leds cause 37°C is just too high for them...hope the temps drop the following days...I can't keep them inside cause the Leds are just 50W ...way too weak for my girls......I really miss my tent and my HPS...my wife doesn't want it around so now I have to compromise with the sun and the Chinese Leds...🤣 ☠️Day 23...Angie is a bit behind the others...Michelle and Lucy have gained height...generally I would like them to be bigger at this point...we shall see...the weather today is hotter and the temps will reach 40°C... ☠️Day 25...Michelle and Lucy have streched...that's probably because the 3 last days they are inside under low light, due to the heat wave outside...will be training these two shortly...Lucy will be topped and LSTed while Michelle just LSTed...Lucy's tooping will have to wait a bit... I bent over Michelle's stem,at the beginning a little,but shortly after, I was more aggressive to her...she will be fine tomorrow... ☠️Day 26...Michelle has taken LST well and her leaves have already turned up towards the light...the side growth is beginning to turn upwards as well...the other two girls are doing fine... Today I topped Lucy at the 6th node...new side shoots are tiny but I am expecting them to grow vigorously since there is now main stem...I will do some LST to her as well but later on... ☠️Day 27...the temps are back to normal, 25-28°C...the girls are outside and will stay there...I used Enhancer today at ph 6,3,but only on Michelle as I am kind of afraid of it...When I first got it I used it on 2 other plants and burnt them...So I am waiting to see how Michelle will react and then use it on the other girls too... ☠️Day 28...last day of the week,the girls are fine...Michelle took Enhancer well,no signs of whatever,so I will give it to the other two as well...the weather is crazy...it's a bit cold and windy now... So everyone in the community,thank u for watching,see u next week!!☠️

Hello everyone. ​Thanks for stopping by to check on the progress in the tent. ​I've added two infrared light bars to encourage more stretch on the right side of the canopy, balancing out the height differences compared to the left side of the tent. ​She's 17 weeks old and in day 21 of flowering, marking the start of her third week. ​I'm training the branches across the trellis to fill in every square and maximize the canopy. ​Have yourself a nice day. ​Best regards, Growfather

doin gooood 👌🏻 Responded well to the topping and LST. First sign of pistils today. Should turn out great, hoping for a nice stretch soon 🙏

1/21/24 - Day 76 - Everything is looking good still. Today is water change day! This time i was out at the box during the change. Everything went well. I did install a new temperature sensor to replace the old one. Also I installed a new C, and PH- bottle. 1/23/24 - Day 78 - I noticed the buds are starting to fatten up. They kind of grow in little nodules sticking out from the main bud site. Its really cool to see. I added some pictures up top! Ill update on some more pictures in the next couple of days. 1/25/24 - Day 80 - The buds are getting fatter and the smell is getting super pungent. Everything is going as planned. I need to start scoping it to check for color. We are still a long ways from starting the flush but it time to start looking!

Finally moving on to the next stage where i expect to keep the conditions more stable and plan on moving the vpd up slowly as well as move the temperature down to around 21 degrees by the last week of flower. The lighting schedule will start at 12 hours of dark and increase by half an hour weekly until we get down to 10 hrs light and 14 hours of dark for the last two weeks (last week plus flush).

Approx day 111. All is still good. White powdery mildew not progressing, i see no new spots, so only few leaves taken by it, great escape ! On bud rot side all is quite too, just first two OGs were infected, third growing well and in colours. AKs looks like very resilient strain, till now avoided everything, despite having fattest top colas. Think its last week for smallest AK , remaining OG will be chopped too. Will try to drag biggest two AKs for two more weeks since today. 3 weeks of rain already and predictions shows at least two more ... Happy Growing !!!

Week 4: We are officially one month into our grow! things have been going pretty smooth so far and that’s exciting!! Yesterday we picked up our Gaia Green 4-4-4. With that and the topping done, we plan to give them the week to recover and then start LST and feeding. You’ll notice a large number of plants were moved outside… those were all auto seeds that we got for free from Seedsman and Perry’s Magic Beans (Northern Lights, Critical + 2.0, M+M, and High C) shout out to them!!

The purple lemonade auto is growing better its looking good the gorilla glue auto isnt showing any sign of preflower yet im starting to think it may be a photoperiod plant .The gorilla glue auto still isn't showing any sign of preflower yet i dont know what to do i don't want to go to a 12/12 because i dont want to stuff up my purple auto thats in flower

So she is finally starting to show some true leaves. I'm questioning what to do with her this round. Most of the other plants in the tent right now, have a plan to be pollinated or be the pollinator. I have the ability to reverse a plant with sts spray as well. But I'm not sure what I should cross with or to the purple chrome, or if I should at all. Any suggestions?

🌸 Kweekverslag – Amnesia autoflower hy seeds Week 5: Week 1 van de bloei (eerste week na 12/12) Lichtschema: 12/12 (bloei gestart) Medium: Aarde (lightmix) Potten: 11 liter Licht: Mars Hydro 450W LED Temperatuur: 21–26°C Luchtvochtigheid: 50–55% Aantal planten: 5 --- 🌱 Groei- & Bloeiontwikkeling Omschakeling naar bloei deze week → planten reageren met "stretch" (rekfase). Hoogte is gemiddeld met 10–20 cm toename in enkele dagen. Eerste bloeihaartjes (witte pistils) verschijnen bij de internodes. Planten zijn goed vol in blad, donkergroen en stevig van structuur. --- ✂️ Training & Structuur ✅ LST afronden deze week — verdere buigingen alleen als het moet. ✅ Onderste bladeren of kleine scheuten zonder toekomstig licht weghalen (lichte defoliatie). ⛔ Niet toppen of hst'en meer! Open bladerdek zorgt voor goede lichtpenetratie tot de zijtakken. --- 💧 Voeding & Watergift pH: 6.3–6.5 Watergift: Bij ±50% droogte van potgewicht (om de 2–3 dagen) Voeding aanpassen op bloei: ✅ Biobizz Bloom: 2 ml/L ✅ Biobizz Grow: 2 ml/L (tijdens rekfase nog aanhouden) ✅ Biobizz Top Max: 1 ml/L (stimuleert bloemvorming) (Eventueel CalMag toevoegen bij signs van calciumtekort) --- 🔍 Waarnemingen Gezonde kleur en houding – bladeren “bidden” licht omhoog. Geen tekorten zichtbaar, geen brandranden of slap blad. Geur neemt toe: citrus/kush met zoete ondertoon Stretch lijkt gelijkmatig te verlopen, nog onder controle. --- 📝 To-do week 6 (bloei week 2) Blijf voeding langzaam opvoeren indien gewenst. Begin eventueel met lichte support aan zijtakken indien ze slap lijken. Luchtvochtigheid langzaam laten zakken naar 45–50% naarmate toppen dikker worden. Controleer dagelijks op schimmel, spint of meeldauw nu het bladerdek dicht wordt.

Estoy muy satisfecho con el crecimiento de mi chemical bride, ayer hubo un fuerte viento y tumbo a mí watermelon skittlez no la pude encontrar, pero ya tenemos otra en proceso que verán en estos días

Day 49 - I used the Fox Farms trio of nutes last week and the results are fantastic. The plants look healthy for the first time. Day 52 - Another watering with the Fox Farms trio. Buds are fattening nicely.
