This week i did LST on the gorilla cookies. The nugs are starting to fatten on a couple. Looking good so far 😎. Also the yellowing went away after a good few days of flush. Now rhey are on half of the recommended does of nutes.

Plant was transplanted in to 5.5 L pot

Going to grow strand again but let plant grow larger. I will not put the plant in flowering two weeks into veg

Everything was there to have bigger buds but its ok )) About the effect later when it dries🙏😘

STICKY BROCCOLI 🥦 / ZAMNESIA & PLAGRON WEEK #14 OVERALL WEEK #8 FLOWER As she's getting closer to the end she's filling in all the space in between her buds it's always an amazing sight. She's sticky buds are frosty and you can definitely smell her. STAY GROWING MY FRIENDS 🧡!! THANK 😊 YOU FOR STOPPING BY AND TAKING A LOOK IT'S MUCH APPRECIATED!! THANK YOU 😊 ZAMNESIA and PLAGRON!! STICKY BROCCOLI 🥦 / ZAMNESIA SEEDS

She looks good. 2 gallon pot is 100% rooted completely out! No real smell just smells green!

Start of week 7. Week 6 went well, however this girl also required and extra 2 liters of feed on day 6 of week 6. She has packed on weight and she is incredibly sticky, with a nice sweet smell.

Hello:) Good week again:) they are developing great. My biggest concern is temperature and rh… At the moment I‘m at 30c and 60rh and I can‘t get it lower without compromising light intensity so we‘ll see. Other than that the tropical cookies (back right) is the furthest along and the amnesia (front right) seems a little behind the rest. Looking forward to the next weeks when they start bulking:)

Week 9 : Day 59 : Hey all So week 9 started and some of the lady’s are bulking up , like Westcoast O.G and some of the Strawberry Pie . But the Westcoast O.G in the picture gonna be first one to harvest and also gonna give me some fat dense buds , i can see that clearly 🤤. About the Gelatos I am a bit dissapointed cause all of them 3 are like normal plants with no strong structure or a big yield sign . I hope the taste gonna prove me wrong cause I like this strains , one of my favorites . I also can’t wait to try this Westcoast O.G and Strawberry Pie again , I growed them both on one of my last runs and they turned out pretty good , especially Strawberry Pie 🍓. I hoping for a 25-30 g per plant , but I guess this gonna be a hard one this time. Like my Gorilla Glue the only one Sativa in the tent but also the slowest in growing flower and she’s eaten much lesser than the her indica sisters . But wow she got s crazy fruity smell with full of crystals on her . Cream Cookies she growed so fast in the last week , that she has come close to the other ones . I think this strain is a very fast bloomer , my last one was ready on day 69 from seed to harvest with a good amount of amber . Also a very flavoury strain 🍪 Yesterday I started to feed them Batguano , this should bring some green healthy leafs again and fat smelly buds . My first Chem on the picture is really hungry right now , I started a bit late for her but this should be ok . Updates coming

Dá para ver elas esticandoooo!!!!! Terceira semana de floração e já tem pistilhos laranjas, os top buds já parecem mais gordos cada semana. Essa semana fiz somente uma rega com fertilizantes, feita hoje, achei que poderia estar com overfert por causa da cor tão escura e algumas folhas queimando, mas bastou 2 regas sem fertilizantes que as folhas começaram a clarear bastante, então já fui logo adicionando mas também aumentei o volume de água para 3.5 litros para cada uma, acho que elas está bebendo mais e o clima no geral tá muito quente, se as plantas não estivessem saudáveis acho que não aguentariam, mas tenho certeza que vai afetar a produção de tricomas 😢 Fora isso acho que estão crescendo bem, estou aprendendo bastante com esta safra e a próxima já farei melhores podas!! 🌱💚

Day 14 - 3 out of 5 are growing a little slow/weird, all 5 seem to be growing kinda slow compared to my first run of autos but hopefully everything does good🤞🏼 Happy growing friends🌱✌️🏼 Day 17 - Still have 2 extremely weird looking ones, really hoping they bounce back🙏🏼🤞🏼 Day 18 - 3 out of 5 still going strong, the other 2 havnt changed much!

This strain has a very interesting high, I and my girlfriend did a test on her at about week 2 of cure and found she has a very sweet minty mango tinge, but a more of a minty tea smell with a bit of sour tinge once you crack that bud open to put it in the grinder. She smokes amazing all white ash and a very dense but romantic softness to her. At first I was bummed smoking this strain because knowing it only peaks at around 17% supposedly I did not expect a very strong bud already, but when I smoked her I got almost a very gradual increase after a few minuets of puffing almost like a euphoric wave was slowly rushing over my eyes and head like a tide coming in on a beautiful night after a long day at the beach. I felt quite sativa stoned with it growing in intensity in my face and eyes, then after I finished my joint I went inside for a glass of water and as soon as I sat down, it really hit me and my girlfriend right in the ass, I was couch locked and so was she, but in a very odd way, I was not indica deep, but I was more a good hybrid deep, a very relaxing eye and face buzz with quite relieving muscle tension I felt amazing, my body was so bloody relaxed! I felt just comfortable like a cozy blanket and a fire on a cold December day, hot chocolate in hand. This strain from start of smoke, to burn out was a very calm and needed high for me and my lady. We both burned out and slept like rocks, like someone had just given the worlds best massage in my brain and bones. I woke up the next morning feeling quite refreshed after that eye relaxing euphoric head high and my back and legs felt very relaxed and ready for a great day! So in my opinion! A good 6/10 for max potency but a 10/10 for flavour and enjoyment. Over all I give this strain a 8/10 in my books, a 17% is all I need and I’m betting she came out around that, of course without lab testing I can not prove that. But I love this strain and the high it gives, one single 0.5 joint got me fried, and the next day I finished off 3 bowls and went to fucking muchie land so he’ll yeah! Give candy cane a try!! Also! Sorry about the lack of info! I did not have a scale when it was in wet weight, I also had a whole half a plant chopped to branches and the big buds left on the plant to hang dry slow, so I was not able to get it on a scale until dried a week later due to my work schedule and having stores open as I’m in the shop and close as I leave.

I was on a Holiday for 4 Days - when i came back, i saw that all branches with a LST-Clip completely snapped, because it grew so fast and did not resist the pressure. There was no chance to fix it, so i took these branches off, so I only had 4 of 8 mainbranches left 😣😭😭😭 I started to Scrog both plants now - especially the Lemon Cherry Cookies on the left needs more space for light. The papaya Cookies will now be tied down in all 4 directions, that the remaining 4 mainbranches can produce a lot more sidebranches and Buds in the end. I had to make the best out of it.

12/25 Merry Xmas. The ladies got a priming light feed this morning to get ready to clone in 2 days. Watered on 3 gallons plain water and 3 gallons of the mix the bed was thirsty

Week 2 (Day 14) Flower- New BP 2500 was installed Sept. 17th, the girls are loving the full spectrum and extra watts they are getting now 😎😊 found a cool feature in iPhones when you click to edit a photo, the magnifier effect. It’s pretty cool. The week went well, started to form bud sites and pistils. Temp and RH have been steady. No deficiencies yet 🤞

Den Ladys geht es soweit gut und es geht nun deutlich Richtung Herbst. Die Ladys wurden nun 1 Woche mit einer schwächeren Nährstoff Lösung gegossen. Bis zur Ernte werde ich nun nur noch mit pH angepassten Wasser gießen. Stand heute (07.06) habe ich ca. 30% milchige trichome, der Rest ist noch klar. Da ich eher auf Sedierung stehe, werde ich sie noch ca. 10 Tage stehen lassen denke ich, mal sehen.

Nach nicht ganz 8 Wochen fertig!

Nuevamente se realizó una pequeña defoliación a hojas que tapen alguna flor 👍👨‍🌾🍀

12/12 from seed. Week 12 overall. Week 8 of flower. And this week, one Lemon Cherry Gelato came down. Not because the room was finished. Not because the cycle was over. Because sometimes the plant tells you one thing… and the jars tell you another. This wasn’t a full-room harvest. This was a selective cut — one plant, chosen carefully, taken early enough to keep the room moving and late enough to still deliver exactly what medicine is supposed to deliver. And honestly? She earned it. ⸻ 🌱 Why This One Came Down Early The room is still running. The full harvest is still ahead. But one Lemon Cherry Gelato had clearly moved ahead of the pack. Not by weeks. Not dramatically. Just enough. Enough swell. Enough frost. Enough weight. Enough maturity to justify taking one while letting the others continue. That’s one of the advantages of reading plants individually instead of treating a room like a synchronized machine. Not every plant finishes on the same day. Not every expression peaks at the same pace. And not every harvest has to happen all at once. This one came down because she was the most advanced of the room — and because the medicine shelf was starting to look a little too honest. Simple as that. ⸻ Reading Ripeness Properly This is where harvest decisions stop being about calendars and start being about observation. By week count alone, she was close. By structure, she was ready enough. By resin, she was already speaking clearly. The trichomes had begun shifting. Mostly cloudy. A few still clear. A visible touch of amber beginning to appear in select heads. That’s the window. Not “fully amber.” Not “wait until everything turns orange.” Not “harvest because the breeder timeline said so.” The real harvest window begins when clarity fades, cloudiness dominates, and the first signs of amber begin to appear. That’s where she was. Not overripe. Not unfinished. Just entering the first edge of peak maturity. Exactly where many growers prefer to cut for a more balanced effect. ⸻ 🔬 Trichomes: What They Are — And What They Are Not Trichomes are not “frost.” They are not glitter. They are not just visual appeal. And they are not there to make photos look good. Trichomes are resin glands. They are the biochemical factories of the flower — producing and storing cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, and the compounds responsible for aroma, potency, and effect. What we’re watching is not sparkle. We’re watching chemistry mature. Clear heads = still developing. Cloudy heads = peak cannabinoid production. Amber heads = oxidation and degradation beginning. That does not mean amber is bad. It means chemistry is changing. More clear = less mature. More cloudy = fuller, louder, more complete. More amber = heavier, softer, often more narcotic. This plant had entered that first balanced transition. Which made her a perfectly reasonable early pull. ⸻ 🎨 Pistils, Fade & False Signals The white hairs had already begun turning. Fresh white pistils were shrinking back. Older hairs had darkened into orange and rust. That matters — but only as supporting evidence. Pistils help tell the story. They do not write the conclusion. Orange hairs alone do not mean harvest. And white hairs alone do not mean immaturity. Pistils can oxidize from age. From touch. From environment. From simple exposure. So yes — orange hairs were there. Yes — the flower had begun to visually mature. But pistils confirmed the direction. Trichomes made the decision. Color supports. Resin decides. ⸻ ️ The Cut And she was no lightweight. Big frame. Thick branching. Dense internals. Heavy tops. A trunk that did not come down politely. This was one of those plants you feel immediately when the scissors hit the stem. Tough wood. Strong vascular structure. Real weight in the hands. The kind of plant that reminds you very quickly that yield starts in structure long before it ends in flower. By the time she hit the studio, she already looked like what she had become: A full, heavy, mature plant with serious density, strong resin production, and enough mass to justify taking her early without regret. ⸻ 📸 Studio Work & Breakdown Instead of hanging the full plant intact, we took her to the studio and broke her down properly. Document first. Harvest second. Full plant shots. Top structure. Side profile. Bud architecture. Stem thickness. Trichome detail. Then the cut. Rather than dry her whole, she was broken down branch by branch and flower by flower, then transferred into the drying rack. That choice was simple and practical. A full-plant hang is beautiful. But a controlled rack dry gives better space efficiency, faster organization, and easier handling when the goal is immediate personal medicine. So this one was processed clean, sectioned carefully, and laid to dry in the rack inside the drying tent with steady air exchange and indirect circulation. No air blowing directly on flowers. No aggressive drying. No rushing the final stage. Just controlled moisture loss, clean airflow, and patience. Now she dries. ⸻ 🍋 Lemon Cherry Gelato, Week 12 from Seed And she delivered. Dense flowers. Heavy resin. Strong structure. Excellent frost. Real weight. Real presence. Could she have gone another week? Probably. Two? Possibly. Would she have gained more? Maybe. But that does not make this cut wrong. It makes it intentional. And intentional harvests are rarely mistakes. ⸻ 📘 Quick Recap — How We Got Here 12/12 from seed. No wasted veg. No unnecessary recovery. No overcomplication. A stable environment. Consistent feeding. Strong genetics. Controlled structure. Patience where it mattered. Intervention only when useful. She got here the same way most good plants do: Not through force. Through consistency. Week by week, she stacked. Flower by flower, she built. And by Week 12 from seed, she gave enough to justify the blade. ⸻ ⏭️ What Comes Next This diary continues. And that matters. GrowDiaries does not handle staggered harvests especially well, which means this is not marked as “harvest week” yet — because the full run is still active, and the second Lemon Cherry Gelato is still standing. So the final harvest report comes later. This is the first cut, not the final chapter. The second Lemon Cherry Gelato remains in the room and keeps pushing. She is not ready yet. She is close. But not yet. She’ll get a few more days. Nutrition will be cut completely next week. Then we let her finish the story in her own time. Same week. Same diary. Different finish line. And that’s the reality of growing plants instead of timelines. ⸻ 🤝 Thank You To the long-time followers. To the new ones. To the quiet readers. To the loud supporters. To the skeptics. To the lovers.

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.
