Sorry for the long break, I was in the hospital and couldn't do anything, so I skipped a week. 😏😅 This is the first time I have used a different brand of fertilizer for these plants, Madame Grow from the USA. I'm curious how it works and what the result looks like otherwise ALWAYS Biobizz, of which I also use the All Mix!👌 I am going to top the 3 feminized plants again today because of the size 😁🤔 The automatic is already full but I am almost sure that I planted it too early 😁🤔it is my first automatic 😁🤣 We'll see, my balcony project remains exciting! In this sense, stay healthy and cool 😉👌👍

Not a ton to report as I switch them to flower. The first day they went to the 12/12 light schedule I chopped the shit out of them, taking probably 100 fan leaves from the 4 plants all together. They're just too bushy and I feel like I'm asking for problems letting them grow into each other. Of course when you try to grow four plants in a 2x4 tent, that's an expected problem. They looked blended, bomb-out and depleted when I finished chopping leaves and pulling the main growth tips apart from each other and through the scrog net. I was a little worried that I overdid it, but 12 hours later they had more than bounced back. I'm a little leary of hard defoliation in flower, but pistils have hardly developed and the plants clearly need and respond well to it. I'm sure I'll take about the same amount from them a couple more times. A couple concerns: small amounts of white mold growth on the top of the coco of a couple plants and the sides of a couple bags. Very faint and not growing much. Also no signs of it on leaves or stems of the plants themselves. I've been spraying with a water/hydrogen peroxide mix. Also a few leaves here and there on a few of the plants look chewed up or torn. There are no signs of pests, so I think they're from some minor abuse during training or from the fan blowing. Will definitely be keeping an eye on mold/mildew and pests, especially going into spring locally.

🌱✨ Gelonade — Seed to Harvest & Smoke Review Grower: DogDoctor Strain: Gelonade (Feminized) Grow Type: Indoor (Tent – LED setup) Cycle Duration: ~13 weeks total (8–9 weeks flowering) Phenotypes: #1 and #2 Environment: Controlled by TrolMaster Ecosystem Lighting: Future of Grow Black Series 600 & ThinkGrow Model 1 Medium: Super Soil (Aptus Holland Amendments) Nutrients: Aptus + Plagron Final Yields: • Pheno #1: 146g dry cured (Grove Bags) • Pheno #2: 159g dry cured (Glass Jars) ⸻ 🌾 From Seed to Strength Our Gelonade journey began with delicate germination — a simple soak in plain water using The Cannakan method, ensuring the seeds awakened slowly and evenly. After 24 hours, they sprouted into life, soon meeting their first home in rich, Aptus-enhanced super soil, carefully inoculated with mycorrhizae and buffered for perfect balance. As seedlings, they thrived under the Black Series 600 LED, their leaves drinking in the full-spectrum light like morning sun on a quiet field. Through their early weeks, the mix of Regulator, Start Booster, and tender care built strong frames and healthy roots. Week after week, they evolved — into vegetative vigor, then into flowering elegance. Their structure hinted at their genetics: 60% sativa, 40% indica — tall, branching, graceful, yet dense. Pheno #2 became our unicorn, flaunting her funky fox-tailed buds and mutated, hand-like leaves — a masterpiece of nature’s playful genetics. ⸻ 🌼 The Flowering Weeks By week 5 flower, the room bloomed with energy. PPFD at 766 µmol/m²/s, temperatures near 31°C, and VPD around 2.2 — conditions that might challenge weaker genetics, but Gelonade only glowed brighter. We refined her diet: • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml/L • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml/L • Aptus All-In-One Liquid – 1 ml/L • Aptus Top Booster – 0.25 ml/L • Plagron Power Buds, Sugar Royal & Green Sensation – 1 ml/L each This powerful synergy built not just flowers — but living sculptures of resin, terpenes, and color. The TrolMaster WCS2 sensors read the heart of the soil — moisture, EC, and temperature — guiding every watering and feeding to perfect rhythm. ⸻ 🍃 The Science of Drying — Why Whole Plants Harvest came at week 12–13 total, roughly 8–9 weeks in flower. The girls stood proud, covered in trichomes, signaling it was time. We harvested whole plants, hanging them upside down in the dark to dry slowly — preserving terpenes and chlorophyll breakdown naturally. Why full-plant drying? Because leaving the plant intact slows the drying process. The inner moisture in stems and leaves redistributes evenly, preventing harsh chlorophyll notes. This method also preserves volatile terpenes — especially important for Gelonade’s citrus-forward profile. It took two full weeks before the branches “snapped,” a sign of perfect dryness — the balance between crispness and internal moisture. ⸻ ✂️ The Art of Hand Trimming Once dry, we trimmed with Zamnesia curved professional scissors, our Trim Bin, and — most importantly — our hands. Why hand trim? Because machines can never see what the eyes feel — the perfect curl of a sugar leaf, the trichome sparkle worth saving. Hand trimming keeps the resin glands intact, preserving aroma, texture, and bag appeal. It’s slower, but sacred — the final love letter between grower and flower. The trim collected beneath the bin was later pressed gently into hash bars using a hot-water bottle method — pure pressure and warmth, no solvent. The science: The heat softens trichome heads (resin glands), allowing them to fuse together under pressure — forming a natural, terpene-rich concentrate. ⸻ 🌬️ The Curing — Glass Jars vs Grove Bags After trimming, we divided our treasures: • Pheno #1 (146g) cured in Grove Bags – a modern, low-maintenance solution that self-regulates humidity (~62%), keeping buds stable and fresh without constant burping. • Pheno #2 (159g) cured in Glass Jars – the traditional, hands-on approach. We burped the jars daily during the first two weeks, allowing gas exchange and flavor maturation. Science of curing: Curing continues the slow enzymatic breakdown of residual sugars and chlorophyll, smoothing the smoke and deepening terpenes. The difference? Glass develops depth — that old-school flavor complexity — while Grove Bags preserve freshness and consistency. Both are beautiful paths to perfection. ⸻ 🌺 Genetics & Aromas — The Gelonade Signature Gelonade is a masterpiece of Lemon Tree × Gelato #41, combining sweet citrus brightness with creamy dessert undertones. The aroma: Sweet citrus candy, tangy lemon zest, and a whisper of black pepper. The flavor: Like sipping lemonade through a gelato cloud — refreshing, smooth, and joyfully bright. ⸻ 💨 Smoke Review — The Dream in a Dream Lighting the first cured bowl was like opening a memory. The smoke is silky, expanding gently in the lungs. The taste starts citrusy-sweet, then mellows into earthy vanilla-pepper. The high? A sunrise in slow motion — uplifting, creative, euphoric. Happiness washes in waves, followed by peace that lingers in the chest. Perfect daytime medicine, yet balanced enough for evening reflection. Pheno #1 brings clarity and laughter; Pheno #2 brings stillness and grace. Together, they mirror duality — the head and the heart in perfect balance. ⸻ 🌿 Closing Reflections From seed to harvest, this grow has been a story of learning, patience, and passion. Every leaf told a story, every sensor reading a verse, every trichome a spark of life. Thank you to the community, to Zamnesia, Aptus Holland, Plagron, TrolMaster, and all who share love for the craft. And thank you to the haters, too — because growth blooms brightest through resistance. This grow was more than cultivation. It was a dream in a dream.

Alright I've updated this postmortem and cure just to give an idea of what I was up to during the dry and cure weeks. This grow was a ton of work and I'm very please with the results. I learned a ton about soil and environment control and really feel like I'm gaining confidence and coming into my own as a cultivator. I've been playing a lot with ice water hash and rosin and have set some neat goals for the future like hunting ice water hash cultivars, going perpetual and expanding the amount of canopy I can work with by building a network of remote-operated satellite flower tents in friends' and family's abodes . I'm not sure I'll go through all this effort of documentation here again, but please follow along on my instagram, stay in touch and chill out with me sometime @Fullmeltalchemist.00 All in all, I was running 1000w of quantum board across three tents and pulled just over 1100 grams, which was a big goal of mine. Thanks for all the advice and love growmies! And thanks growdiaries for the platform. It's been coo.

plants keep growing nice. started veg nutrition plan

Que pasa familia, vamos con la novena semana de floración de estas Gorilla Melón feminizadas de fastbuds. Vamos al lío, de las 3 plantas, me quede con 2 por espacio, siempre pongo alguna semilla de más por si no abriese alguna por no perder ese hueco del indoor. También se trasplantaron a su maceta definitiva, en este caso de 7 litros que además provocó un shock que también solucione. El ph se controla en 6.2 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 20/24 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. Las flores están bien prietas y sacan unos aromas afrutados y dulces increible, está acabando de madurar pero no veas como se han puesto. Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

Today was a special day for me… My babies got flipped to flower.

Lezgooo !

1 mes de flora. Cogollos dulces todos. De izquierda a derecha se mezclan con, mas dulce, incienso, limoncito dulce, uva.

So this is how things are looking for the Dark Phoenix at the end of Week 8 of Flower. I have uploaded a video for you guys with all the information you need, any questions just ask away 👍🏾🌱💚

Day 73, took another batch if clones three days after taking the 2nd batch so now I have 80 clones that will root in 11 to 14 days. The sun is hot again back to +30C° day temps, I was to lazy to take individual photos of my mother plants. I'll give the plants 10 days to recover from the stress from taking cuttings. Day 75, last day in the tent for my mother plants, tonight there going inside boxes for 3 day of darkness so that the plants forget the 18 hrs veg lighting to follow the sun. 2nd batch of clones to veg for a week before going outside to flower. Mothers in boxes they will come out on the 24th September
