Finally peaked at the roots and they look healthy, all bright white. Flowers forming on all plants. Dark Purple KUSH plants have adjusted and the buds are growing well on those. Added Mammoth P microbes beginning of last week and again in the reservoir change this week. So far so good. Trimmed them all.

Strawberry Amnesia is growing well. She is looking like she will be a shorter plant in the long run. I did some light defoliation on her. Beside that I have not done nothing to her this last week. Everything is looking good. Thank you Herbies seeds, Athena, and Spider Farmer. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g.

It's a little tedious currently as I had 2 plants( bag seed and dark angel)going before my new set up arrived and was installed. After I set everything up I sowed 3 autos(ethos) 3 days later everything has popped and is looking good thus far. I have one in a 20g fab pot, 7g fab pot, and a 3g fab pot.

Day 29, Too many bugs! Mini grasshoppers and one of those leaf tunneling bugs, as well as a respiratory bug within myself! I’ve taken care of the bug inside myself, now time for the Diatomaceous Earth!!!! And to get that bug out of that leaf! Still feeding a little cal mag. I think it’s necessary. Day 31 - Day 1F Going to ramp it up from 1mg to 3mg per Gal of CalMag OAC. I will top dress something special, maybe the mother earth acid mix, or maybe I will do a seabird guano with insect frass and top it off with an Epsom Salt solution feed. I’m trying to practice using less of a branded store-bought approach. But to source everything is so much easier out of a store bought package, so for now, I might just do a small amount of seabird and insect frass, maybe just a super small sprinkle on the soil surface, not in water. Day 5 of flower: and WTF is up with this foul weather. Only 46 degrees Fahrenheit! (7.8 C) Cloudy with 15-20 mph winds. Gonna drop to 29 tonight… this is ridiculous. I don’t have access to the tent at this time, so it’s cold weather today. I could bring her inside where it’s warmer, and there is no light! Or those house lights put out only a few candelas worth, not exactly light for a plant. Do she would just stretch and go hungry inside. I’m leaving her outside. Bringing her in over night obviously! But not much growth is expected. Just gotta roll with the punches. I thought we were flowering this week, but barely small preflower development. So this is switched back to a Veg week.

🍒 Lemon Cherry Gelato — Week 10 (Week 6 Flower) 12/12 from seed | No veg | Full expression phase ⸻ 🔁 Quick Recap — From Seed to Structure This run followed the same philosophy: straight 12/12 from seed, minimal interference, maximum observation. From early on, these girls showed vigor, tight internodes, aggressive lateral growth, and a natural tendency to bush out heavily while still pushing vertical dominance. What we built over the weeks: • A dense, multi-layered canopy • Strong branching capable of supporting weight • Healthy root zone driving consistent uptake And now, in week 6 flower, everything is being converted into mass, resin, and expression. ⸻ 🌿 Defoliation Session — Opening the Beast This week was a big moment. You brought them into the studio and made a bold call: deep defoliation (fan leaves with stems removed) Leaving: • Bud sites fully exposed • New growth intact • Air channels opened through the entire plant This was not just aesthetic, it was functional: • Improved airflow through a very dense structure • Light penetration reaching lower and inner bud sites • Reduced humidity pockets inside the canopy With plants this bushy, this move shifts the system from crowded to optimized. They are now set up to focus energy directly into flowers. ⸻ 🌸 Calyxes & White Hairs — Flower Construction Mode Now we are seeing real flower formation. Calyxes are the core of the bud, each one a potential resin-packed structure. At this stage: • They are stacking tightly along the branches • Forming early bud density • Beginning to swell, but not yet at peak size White hairs (pistils) are everywhere, and that is exactly what we want. They signal: • Active reproductive phase • Continuous flower site expansion • Ongoing energy push into bud production Bright, fresh pistils means the plant is still building, still reaching, still producing. ⸻ ✨ Trichomes — Resin Factories Switching On This is where Lemon Cherry Gelato starts showing personality. We are now seeing: • Frost spreading across sugar leaves • Resin glands forming on calyx surfaces • Stickiness increasing day by day Functionally, trichomes are: • Protection from UV, pests, and environment • Chemical factories for cannabinoids and terpenes Right now they are mostly clear to early cloudy, meaning: • Terpene profile is starting to develop • Potency is rising, but not fully matured This is the production phase, not the ripening phase. ⸻ Nutrition — Driving Heavy Output These girls are feeding like monsters and your numbers show it. EC: 2.9 High, but clearly being handled without stress. Your stack: • Terra Bloom providing the PK backbone for flower development • Green Sensation enhancing density and metabolic efficiency • Sugar Royal supporting terpene expression and carbon flow • CalMag Pro maintaining structural integrity and transport under high demand • Power Buds boosting flower site activation and early stacking At this stage it is not about adding more, it is about delivering consistently. ⸻ ⚖️ pH Control — Unlocking the Feed With EC at 2.9, pH becomes even more critical. • pH around 6.5 is the sweet spot for soil bloom uptake • Lemon Kick helps bring the solution down naturally • pH Plus allows fine adjustments when needed This ensures nutrients are not just present, but available. High EC without correct pH means locked potential, and you are avoiding that perfectly. ⸻ 🌡️💧 Environment — Stable but Alive • Around 26°C • Around 60 percent RH • Strong, consistent light across the canopy Now the key detail is the leaf to air relationship, what you called leaf DPD. With dense plants, high transpiration, and external humidity support, you had a naturally balanced exchange between leaf surface and air. After defoliation: • Transpiration becomes more efficient • Microclimates are reduced • Gas exchange improves This supports stronger nutrient flow and better resin production. ⸻ 💧 Water & Environment Synergy • Water temperature at 18°C supports high oxygen availability and strong root metabolism • Outside conditions around 10°C and 84 percent humidity That external humidity is quietly helping stabilize your internal environment, making it easier to maintain balance without stressing the plants. Working with the environment, not against it. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect — Week 7 Flower Expect: • Noticeable bud thickening as calyx swelling begins • Pistils still active but clustering more densely • Trichomes moving further into cloudy • Terpenes becoming louder and more complex • Plants redirecting energy fully into flower mass Do not expect yet: • Final swelling • Significant amber trichomes • Heavy fade You are transitioning from build into early maturation, but not there yet. ⸻ 🤝 Shoutouts — From Grower to Growers Big love to: • The GrowDiaries platform for giving all of us a space to share • The community of growers exchanging knowledge and experience • The OG followers who have been here since day one • The new ones joining the journey • The supporters, the silent watchers, the loud ones, the skeptics, everyone has a place here And always: • The genetics behind this Lemon Cherry Gelato expression • The sponsors and partners supporting the process • The tools, lights, and environment making this possible ⸻ These girls are not just growing, they are performing. Week 6 flower is heavy, alive, and full of intention.

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.

3/13/2024 - Day 15 Flower: Ran into some issues after the last watering. The newest leaves have some severe curling going on, and I've had a few leaves with some minor brown spotting. I'm not 100% sure what caused it, but narrowed it down to either TeaCo Super Tea, Recharge, or the foliar spray I did with Dr. Zymes Eliminator. I did the foliar at lights out, but maybe there was still some residue when the light came back on. Either way, I'm taking it easy on this watering. Gave them 4 gallons of 6.5 ph water mixed with Jay Plantspeaker Quillaja, Coconut Powder, and a half dose of Rootwise Bio-Catalyst and Yah-Whey. The curling does not seem ro be getting worse, so hopefully they will grow out of this. Also, they have started to slow on rhe stretching, which is good, because they are getting close to the light. 3/14/2023 - Day 16 Flower: So I've been looking at some of the more deformed leaves and I'm pretty sure the leaf curl and brown is from the Dr. Zymes. The leaves with issues appear to have a slight glossy residue to them. I'm guessing when the Dr. Zymes dried on the leaves, it had a reaction when the light came back on. Now that I'm into week 3 of flower, I plan to cut out any foliar sprays, so hopefully I'm right an the issue won't get worse. I had some seeds that I sprouted and forgot to use yesterday, so I made a 2 gallon Sprouted Seed Tea (SST) and added some Jay Plantspeaker Quillaja, Rootwise Bio-Phos, and a half dose of Fermented Comfrey Extract and Fermented Peach Extract. 3/16/2023 - Day 18 Flower: plants are looking good. Flowers are starting to develop and I'm already seeing the beginning of some tricomes. Stretch appears to be just about done, so hopefully it will be smooth sailing from here. The curling from last week has not gotten any worse. 3/17/2023 - Day 19 Flower: watered about 6 gallons of worm tea I brewed for about 24 hours. Added some Jay Plantspeaker Quillaja, BuildASoil BuildABloom, and Rootwise Bio-Catalyst. Also, did some minor defoliation of some of the larger fan leaves blocking lower bud sights. Still need to do more, but I plan to spread it out over a few days. 3/18/2023 - Day 20 Flower: Cleaned them all up real good. Took off all the large fan leaves, except for the top two, and cut off basically anything on the lower half of the plant. May have gone a little higher than I would have liked, now that I'm seeing it done, but too late now. Normally, i only like to take off about 1/3, but i guess we will see what happens when the bottom half is stripped. Always learning around here, haha. Hopefully I should have very little popcorn buds.

Great veg week. Its an increased nutrient week. Only issue was slightly high ph in soil, so I added a little more vinegar to my water. On previous grows, I would do my LST tie downs on approx day 31-33, but growth was really good, and over 10" on 7 of 9 plants, so tied down early on those 7, on day 28. Great color and stalk girth so far.
