So far I haven't had any issues besides some N toxicity from C.S.S. in early flowering. I wanted to check if there was some mold or rot on the buds at the back so I removed the scrog net since its job was done. Everything was just fine.😅😅 I also ran out of Sugar Royal and I don't feel like buying another one so lets hope for the best😜

Week 3 Veg – Transplant Time, System Prep & Roots in Focus Strain: Gelonade Grower: Dogdoctor Type: Feminized Environment: Indoor Tent | LEDs | Dual Controlled Airflow ⸻ 🌱 Overview This week marked a key transition in the Gelonade grow: Transplant into final 11L fabric pots, Environmental tuning, TrolMaster ecosystem preparation, … and most of all: the official selection of the two chosen phenos that will move forward into flower. The girls are thriving. Roots are looking stunning. Leaves are proud and full. The journey deepens, and we’re ready. ⸻ 🌿 Selected Phenotypes After careful observation, Gelonade #1 and Gelonade #2 were chosen as the lead phenos for the full grow journey. Both exhibited: • Strong early structure • Balanced leaf symmetry • Vigor and resilience in early veg • Root density and color that promised excellent transplant response All three looked beautiful, but these two earned the spotlight. ✨ ⸻ Soil Mix & Nutrient Support We prepared a specialized super soil mix enriched with high-quality biological amendments from Aptus Holland to give the girls everything they need for explosive veg. Transplant Mix: • Super soil base • Aptus Mycor-Mix – to inoculate roots with beneficial mycorrhizae for symbiotic nutrient exchange • Aptus Micro-Mix – full-spectrum microbes and bacteria to build a thriving root biome • Aptus Substrate Buffer Powder – stabilizes pH, locks in ideal nutrient availability 💧 Feed Mix (per liter of water): • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml: Cellular armor, nutrient flow, anti-stress shield • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml: For foundational frame building • Aptus All-In-One Liquid – 1 ml: Core NPK and micro blend • Aptus Start Booster – 2 ml: Encourages new root branching and initial canopy formation 🌊 Water Stats: • pH: 5.83 • EC: 1.01 • Water Temp: 18.5°C ⸻ Fabric Pots – Why We Use Them The girls were transplanted into 11-liter Amnesia fabric pots. Why fabric? • Air pruning: As roots reach the edges, they hit air, which stops circular binding and encourages lateral branching. • Oxygenation: Roots receive more oxygen through the breathable fabric, boosting metabolism. • Drainage: No soggy bottoms here. Fabric pots keep your medium airy and prevent overwatering issues. These are the final pots — no further transplants will be done. From here, the girls can stretch, root, and build freely. ⸻ Airflow & Filtration A strong root system needs strong air too. This week we’ve been dialing in our environment with dual extractor/intake systems: 🌀 Airflow Setup: • 2x 6-inch extractors: • TrolMaster Aerofan 6” – controlled by the TrolMaster system • Spider Farmer 6” – managed by the GGS controller • 1x 6-inch intake fan with carbon filter 🌫️ Why Carbon Filters (Even Early On)? • Odor control is obvious — but more than that, they filter airborne particles, spores, and contaminants, keeping air pure and clean, even during early veg. • Healthy air = happy leaves = fast growth. ⸻ 🔧 TrolMaster Ecosystem – Automation Incoming While everything is still being hand-watered, we’re preparing to connect the full grow to the TrolMaster system: • Environmental control (humidity, temp, VPD) • Light cycle syncing • Fan response automation • Future irrigation control for specific zones Not all plants will be automated, we’re keeping some fully manual to compare growth responses. That’s the Dogdoctor way: grow, observe, experiment, evolve. ⸻ 📸 Media & Studio Time The girls were looking so stunning, we took them into the studio for a proper photoshoot. These are living models — vibrant, proud, and photogenic. Likely we’ll do another shoot next week, before they get too large to safely move. Expect high-gloss glamour and leaf-candy content. ⸻ 🌿 What to Expect (and Not) After Transplant ✅ Expect: • Slight temporary slowdown (1–2 days max) • New root tips forming within 48–72 hours • Visible growth surge as roots expand into fresh soil • Fuller, wider leaf spacing ❌ Don’t Expect (yet): • Explosive top growth right away — they’ll focus on the roots first • Stretching — we’re still under strong LEDs with great internodal control Let the roots build the temple, and the temple will grow. ⸻ 📊 Environmental Conditions • Room Temp: 27°C • Humidity: 57.4% • CO₂: 632 ppm • Lighting: Future of Grow Black Series 600 LED • Delivering full-spectrum brilliance — tight internodes, deep greens, and radiant health. ⸻ 💬 Final Thoughts Transplant week is always a sacred moment in a grow, a rite of passage from childhood to adolescence. The Gelonade girls are ready. Their roots are strong, their stems are proud, and their leaves are glowing with promise. This week was a blend of precision and love, preparing systems, mixing soil by hand, and honoring the natural rhythm of growth. From here on out, it’s about watching, adjusting, and letting nature lead. Let’s grow something unforgettable.

Day 22 25/07/24 Thursday Still no Feed/water since Tuesday. Been a humid and overcast two days so not as much evaporation as normal. All plants happy and healthy 💚 Video updates Day 23 26/07/24 Friday De-chlorinated watering pH 6 with 5ml calmag to 5L water. Watered each with 250ml and had small run off. I will continue to feed/water with small run offs to help prevent salt build ups. Video update. Day 26 29/07/24 Monday Nice feed today, using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6. They each had 300ml with small run off. All looks incredibly happy and healthy! The Auto Kabul that was mutated and twisted has pulled herself through and is just a bit shorter than the others. Day 28 31/07/24 Wednesday End of week😁 De-chlorinated water pH 6 today with Plagron pk13-14 5ml to 5L Plagron power buds 5ml to 5L Used 300ml of the 5L solution. I will be using these on water days from now on as they are advised to be used every irrigation. We'll see how they perform 💪💚

During week 4 (=flowering week 2) the 18 CANNALOPE HAZE plants from DNA-GENETICS grew like hell and started to develop their first white hairs (=female pistils of the plant). The speed in which the little white crowns appear is astounding to me, I LOVE IT! The lamps are now hung at the producer recommended distance of 22 cm (=LUMATEK) and 45 cm (=SANlight) and both run at 100% power (=no more dimming for now!). The difference between the left side (=Lumatek) and right side (=SANlight) can be seen clearly in the videos. The plants on the right under the Q6W-Gen. 2 LED-Lamps from SANlight have a darker, healthier green color and have produced VISIBLY MORE FLOWERS then the plants on the left side under the Lumatek PRO 600W. Lets see how this goes further next week...😎

Day 32 flower update they smell amazing and are starting to fatten up...we're lookin at 60-70 say harvest time recommend by the breeders for all these strains

Anche lei è l'ultima settimana di lavaggio radici.......oggi 29/09/2024 taglio questa Ayahuasca purple...ha un profumo fortissimo.... Oggi probabilmente inizierò a pulire tt le cime e poi.via un taglio netto 😂🤣😜👍💪

Week went well. Did some major defoliation because it was getting very bushy I couldn’t even see the main stem. Also used some flex wire to LST the lower branches and the twin top. Had a bit of a hiccup where I didn’t water on a day that I should have apparently and it wilted a lot. But I just watered the crap out of it and it bounced back. More evidence of the strain’s (or at least this pheno of the strain’s) resiliency. Debating on whether to top all the lower branches. Feel free to weigh in in the comments below if you have an opinion on that. Feeling like I should. Also going to need to figure out how to raise this light higher, the pulley system that it came with is as high as it goes, so I’ll just have to juryrig something for it.

Ok so now I started with topping and LST with a smal SCrog. And switched it back to 175 watts and no feeding this week. only water.

15 hrs 31 mins daylight as of today Everyone is settling in well after the transplant last week, they seem very happy are are definitely shooting up. I removed the support hoops for the row cover because the Blueberry has grown above it. Speaking of, it is the only Blueberry because the other 2 went to live with my friend. She's about to start another round of chemo pills, which she told me she has to do for the next 5 years😩 It's terrible, and I wish I could do more for her. Not much to report this week as this girl is very happy. Unfortunately it seems there's some technical issues here on GD. The past couple weeks my diaries haven't been updating properly, and the 2 diaries I started last week for my autos are missing. They don't show up under my "Diaries" tab, which says there's 17 but only shows 15. I also tried searching for the 2 missing diaries by strain and by diary name, and couldn't locate them. Anybody else having issues? Update 6/26- I totally forgot to add that on Monday the garden got a spraying of horn manure. Horn manure is a biodynamic preparation of cow manure that's been fermented in a buried horn. This results in a material that's teeming with beneficial flora and fauna for the soil. Ideally it would be sprayed prior to planting in the spring as it encourages healthy root growth. I purchased the pre-potenized so that I only had to spend 20 mins stirring rather than an entire hour. That would have been brutal😵 I sprayed it at night when the earth is breathing in and used a spruce bough to sprinkle it over the plants in the garden. The extra icing on the cake was that there was a rain the day before, and another the day after I sprayed so it was well watered in.

So this week has really absolutely crawled by from my perspective, I imagine it is common with growing that the closer you get to harvest the further away it seems. Anyway I am a bit worried about the middle sized plant - she has a lot more yellowing of fan leaves from the inside out. My reaction to this was to flush her with clean water, my thinking is that everything was fine before I started feeding, and perhaps I didn't mix properly and the soluble stuff was unevenly distributed. That was yesterday (week 6 day 4) It's too soon to tell if this has helped, fingers crossed it doesn't begin to affect other leaves. Despite this being only 5 days into week 6, there have already been fairly drastic changes. Some of the buds are starting to fatten more, and I'd say we're at about 15% pistils amber now, the smell has noticeably increased day by day. It's really beautiful to look the plants in the dark with a flashlight or phone light, the way the light bounces off the frosting of trichomes, as if someone had sneaked in the middle of the night and misted my plants with a million tiny diamonds. I think I will stop feeding the middle plant now and water only (unless it gets worse). The other two I will continue to feed until the end of this week. At the rate of accelerated change I suspect harvest time may not be too long past the end of next week. It's a shame they don't have much more time to grow but at least what small quantity does come from them, I am determined it is harvested at the right time. At the end of week six I have watered only as I now think these plants are maybe 7-12 days away from harvest.

Buds start to get frosty with THC added second netting due to bending stems because of the buds also keeps plants neat

I hung dried for three days and then bagged them up in brown paper bags for two days due to the low temps and humidity before jaring them.

Day: 9 I'm considering replacing a cpl of these with different seeds. They are already behind schedule-1 OG Kush and the Gorilla Girl. Any tips varigation on leaves? I just gave them there first feeding of Big Buds and Blooms (N5) after the 24 hour Superthrive wait period. Both Superthrive and NPPK were used at 1/4th the strength called for on the lable. Nighty Night girls. Going to bed wet is not ideal but they needed a full watering bad..hoping I didn't over water (purified water) Some of the soil just does not seem to get wet in these pots. weak leggy blackberry kush has some wind tonite. Hoping to boost stem strength. they are trying to fall over from the weight. Day 10: made little stakes from coated wire. Repositioned the Gorilla Girl for a third time. You can see that part of the stem looks white from being underground. Still gonna give it a little more time. Otherwise, all are seemingly fine after first feeding. Day 11: applied SuperThrive and my Gorilla Girl turned yellow for a few hours. Glad she is resilient!!! Day 12 thru 20. So my PH meter was wrong and I have been watering with 9+ water for the first 2 weeks. i had 2 ph meters in case this happened but one is for soil...new grower mistake. So...I've lost precious time on my aotos and my gorilla girl is ...lord help meh..she don't look too good. All are alive in spite of my noobness. I'll post some pics that should have a disclaimer stating this is not what your plants should look like at 20 days in. Also had to transplant into non-waxlined pots. This is not the best experience to show publicly but new growers can maybe learn from my mistakes.

What a huge bush 😄

Finally moved into the new place... Can't wait to get the 4 x 8 setup then! This one has put on a TON of weight this past week... and is stinky and HARD man... REALLY stoked to chop it down!!!! :D Thank you SO MUCH Sweet Seeds! :D

Day 80 This morning I started defoliating Tropicana. She will be in the darkness for the next days. I already harvested a part of the head flower and let it dry trimmed. Because of extreme weather conditions and very high humidity I got a little bud rott. I found it out quit early I think. So I hope nothing will not happen any more. Just harvesting relaxed and drink a Tropicana tee. Day 81 I decided to cut her down in the evening. The humidity in the basement room is high and I don‘t want to risk here anything anymore. Waiting for my first homegrown weed to be vaped. Day 82 Tropicanas flowers hanging to dry in my basement. I check them once per day with a strong light. Day 83 Same same. The smell is wonderful like a bit of gas combined with a fruity flower bouquet. Our neighbors in the house like the smell, too. 🙏 Day 84 I could try my first homegrown weed. It‘s absolutely tasty and have a very smooth vape. I was very surprised cause it‘s not cured yet. A longer vape report will follow when it‘s dried and cured. Day 88 All flowers, sugar- and tee leafs are trimmed and filled in glasses for curing. I open twice per day for 20 minutes. Boveda packs 58% inside. I will fill out the rest of the diarie when my buds are dried, cured and vaped. So far this was a very exciting journey for me. Growing cannabis and even legal on our balcony. Feels still a bit unreal, but it’s real! Thank you for reading my diary! Thanks to all the people who worked on legalizing cannabis in Germany, especially to the „Deutscher Hanfverband (DHV)“! I will give more updates and write a vape report after curing several weeks. Maybe with some Tropicana Cookies baked in Comfreys garden kitchen.

next week of the flowering stage in the life of this amazing beauty her big leafes still amazes me. all nutrients are in ger section if not other mentioned all by maufactures instructions.

So I had a little less nutrient last week then i needed. Def a calcium deficiency. I think it's clearing up but this plant has spot all over it. I changed the water, gave it the right amount of nutrients and a little exra hydrated lime for calcium. Hydro is hard. I hoping It's not sick. I hope It doesn't get the other plants sick. Just a few weeks left.
