Another week begins, I've been a bit busy but when I have time I come here, apparently this plant is very healthy, it looks great, I'm waiting for the driver to arrive for another panel that I have to flip to 12/12, but if it takes too long I won't wait any longer. This plant has an interesting growth and no type of training was done on it, I'll keep it like this I just hope it doesn't take up all the space in the tent..

This plant was one of my favorites to date, it was a perfect grow. She was so easy, she never showed any bad signs on her leaves, always was super happy. I accidentally topped her at about her 4th week or so when I was inducing LST on her. Didn’t even phase her whatsoever, she just branches off and did her own thing, I got her under a screen and the magic started happening, she bubbles up and came out with an crazy amount of flowering points. The amount of flowers she showed and then the color she showed during her fade weeks was unreal, her colors reminded me of something you’d see during fall season when leaves are changing outside. Super colorful and extremely sticky. I had to change my gloves and clean my scissors every few branches, a problem I never mind having. This is one of my top plants I’ve grown today, with the color and the size of the nugs it was a flawless grow. I tooted my own horn on this one to myself. 5 ounces is a stellar result and I’ll take that on any grow. I couldn’t recommend this strain enough and will definitely be in future grows for sure. Thanks for stopping by growmies, I hope to see you in my future diaries!

Woche 6 – Die Blüte beginnt! 🌸🍋🍒 Diese Woche hat meine Lemon Cherry Cookies offiziell die Blüte eingeleitet. Nach einer kräftigen Vegetationsphase habe ich mich für ein etwas ungewöhnlicheres Training entschieden und die Pflanze spiralförmig um den Topf geführt. Ziel dabei ist es, möglichst viele Triebe auf eine Höhe zu bringen und gleichzeitig die Mitte der Pflanze zu öffnen. Durch dieses Training entstehen aktuell drei dominante Haupttriebe im Zentrum, die später hoffentlich zu einem massiven Hauptbud zusammenwachsen. Gleichzeitig erhalten die unteren Seitentriebe deutlich mehr Licht, wodurch die gesamte Pflanze gleichmäßiger wachsen kann. Die Lemon Cherry Cookies hat das Training hervorragend verkraftet und zeigt keinerlei Anzeichen von Stress. Das neue Wachstum ist kräftig, die Blätter stehen gesund und die ersten Blütenansätze sind bereits deutlich sichtbar. Bis jetzt entwickelt sie sich zu einer sehr kompakten und buschigen Dame mit kurzen Internodien und einer ausgezeichneten Struktur für die kommende Blütephase. Jetzt beginnt die spannende Zeit und ich freue mich darauf zu sehen, wie sich die Spiral-Technik in den nächsten Wochen auf die Budentwicklung auswirken wird. 🍋 Cherry trifft auf Lemon – und die Reise hat gerade erst begonnen. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Week 6 – Flowering Has Begun! 🌸🍋🍒 This week my Lemon Cherry Cookies officially entered the flowering stage. After a strong vegetative growth phase, I decided to try a slightly different training technique by guiding the plant into a spiral shape around the pot. The goal is to create an even canopy while opening up the center of the plant. This should allow more light to reach all growth sites and encourage stronger development throughout the entire structure. The spiral training has already resulted in three dominant central tops that I hope will eventually develop into one massive flower cluster. At the same time, the lower branches are receiving much better light exposure and are catching up nicely. The plant handled the training exceptionally well and shows no signs of stress. Growth remains vigorous, leaves are healthy, and the first flower sites are becoming clearly visible. So far she is developing into a compact and bushy lady with short internodal spacing and an excellent structure for the flowering phase ahead. Now the exciting part begins, and I'm looking forward to seeing how this spiral training technique influences bud development over the coming weeks. 🍋🍒 Lemon meets Cherry — and the adventure is only getting started. 🚀🌱

The plants have gotten pretty dense they also have sweet gassy dmell

Week four is kicking off good!! Lst and defoliation are working great ready to start the stretch! One plant is showing signs of pre flower. So we will see 🤷‍♂️🏻 Upped the nutrients this week plants are drying out about every 36 hrs. I’m oh watering feeding and ph watering alternating right now and they seem to love it I’m going to start adding some fox farms soluables here shortly. I’ll update this week in a few peace! So an update it’s day 28 all are in pre flower and start of flower switched to the hps light still alternating feeding and watering about every two n half days. Started using open sesame on the last feeding will use it one more time and switch to beastie bloomz. Stay safe everyone!

Week 3 Veg - Thus far running accordingly. No signs of stress or deficiencies. Introduced a Co2 bag (Exhale 265) to run into early flowering. *End of week recap* (08/27) User error during LST for both - Gave heavy nutes to assist on the rebound - Minor chance of stunting Besides the LST error - Running smoothly - Light flower will begin in 2 weeks.

Today add plagron guano ..cca 150 g /20L .one girl have a smal flowers . Others looks good .. and video with new 60x60 box for veg phase with sunpro sunboard 240w ..( super boof and mimosa orange punch)

The temperatures, humidity, height, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH and 50° F. Coop Poop, Molasses, Feather Meal, and Soluble Kelp are ml/gallon of soil top dressed. Everything else listed in nutrients is ml/gallon of water fed to plants without checking the solution Ph. Day 1 We had a high temperature of 89°F. Skies are clear and sunny, humidity is about 50%. I watered about 5 gallons. Day 2 we had a high temperature of 78°F. Skies were clear and sunny. Humidity was mid 50%'s. I watered about 4 gallons each pot. Day 3 was cooler. We had a high temperature of 70°F. Skies were sunny and humidity was around 59%. I took advantage of the low humidity and washed the plants in bio fungicide and I clean up some powdery mildew in the leaves. I watered about 4 gallons. Day 4 we had a high temperature of 72°F. It was very sunny and the air was dry. I watered about 4 gallons per pot. Day 5 we had a high temperature of 76°F. It was a perfect day for cannabis. Low humidity and I watered about 4 gallons Day 6 we had a high temperature of 81°. There was abundant sunshine. I watered about 5 gallons per pot. The girls are loving the weather. Day 7 we had a high temperature of 84°F. Abundant sunshine low humidity and I watered about 4 gallons. Overall this week was a success. The weather is finally cooperating. These girls are on cruise control getting ready for their ripening phase.

..MAJOR TRAGEDY , EMERGENCY SITUATION FOR PLANT. ACCIDENTLY PULLED FIRST INCH OR 2 OFF OF MAIN KOLA. I DONT KNOW IF THE WHOLE THINGS GOING TO DIE OR IF I SHOULD DO SOMETHING BESIDES FEEL LIKE A MORON? IM GOING TO FEEL , WELL ANOTHER LESSON LEARNED BUT WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW?

Hello. This is the end of week 3 and the beginning of week 4 of flowering I did the last trimming/pruning till harvest this week past. The plants have recovered and are going into resin production now. I have stuck my nose in the tent when I first open it after the dark period and I hardly get any smell. Just a bit of a citrus/hash smell which is interesting because this is supposed to be a strong strain, which in the past has meant a strong smelling strain as well. Makes you go Hmmm isn't that interesting. This weeks puzzle is a maze. Feel free to print it off and solve it. Please don't write on the screen or it might come off if you use one of those dry erase markers. but printing is better😂 Answer next week. It's been a quite wood splitting week for me. Keep growing straight. Chuck.

Pics and video were taken a few days ago been busy as shit lately so the update is a little late. I'm gunna put the video up first on all of them then go back and upload the pics so if come back if the pics arent up yet.

Seed to harvest day 67 Sticky buds Fruity smell Good strees performance Total Used power 400w

Here we go into week 2 looking happy as ever everything seems on point 🤞

This week was great took some more cuttings .....testing wich method is more successful .... airoponics vs coco perlite mix Same light same hours ...no nutrients ....lost 1in the coco perlite dome

🌱 Lemon Cherry Gelato — Week 9 From Seed (Week 5 Flower) We move forward with our Lemon Cherry Gelato, now entering what we call Week 5 of flower (Week 9 from seed, 12/12 from start). This week brings something special — not one, but two expressions of the same genetic, grown side by side, each telling a slightly different story. The first Lemon Cherry Gelato remains untouched. No defoliation. Just observation, light guidance, and studio time. She stands full, natural, and honestly… stunning. The second Lemon Cherry Gelato took a different path — what started as a light clean-up turned into something closer to an “army-style haircut.” A full defoliation to open space, improve airflow, and allow light to penetrate deeper into the canopy. Two plants. Same genetics. Two approaches. Same goal — let them express. --- ### 🌿 How We Got Here This is a 12/12 from seed run, meaning these autoflower plants never experienced a traditional vegetative phase. From the start, they grew with the signal that time is limited — and that shows in their structure. Instead of wide, heavily branched vegetative growth, they focused early on vertical development and flower initiation. Now, in Week 5, we see the result: dense bud sites forming across a compact but highly productive structure. --- ### ✂️ Why We Defoliate (And Why We Didn’t — Yet) The room is getting full. Really full. The decision to defoliate the second plant came from necessity: • Improve airflow • Reduce humidity pockets • Increase light penetration • Redirect energy toward flower sites On the first plant, we chose patience. Sometimes doing nothing is also a decision. Next week, she may follow the same path — but for now, she shows us what happens when we simply let her be. --- ### 🌸 About Those White Hairs (Pistils) What you’re seeing across all those bud shots — those bright white hairs — are pistils. They are part of the female reproductive system of the plant. Their natural purpose is to catch pollen. But in our case, there is no pollination. So what happens? The plant continues producing more and more pistils, trying to fulfill that biological mission. At the same time, it increases resin production as a protective mechanism. This is exactly what we want. More pistils → more potential bud sites → more resin → better final expression. --- ### Feeding Strategy (Why This Mix Works) We keep the nutrition consistent and intentional: • Terra Bloom → Base nutrients for flowering • Green Sensation → PK booster + metabolic support • Power Buds → Encourages flower initiation and structure • Sugar Royal → Supports terpene and sugar production • Pure Zym → Enzyme activity, root zone health • CalMag → Stability under LED conditions Nothing excessive. Nothing random. Just a balanced system supporting what the plant is already trying to do. --- ### 🌡️ Environment & Plant Feedback Room conditions: • Temperature: ~28°C • Humidity: ~65% • CO₂: ~1000 ppm On paper, some might question these numbers. But we don’t grow on paper — we grow by reading the plant. We follow leaf behavior, transpiration, and overall response (leaf VPD in practice, not just charts). The plants are drinking ~1.5L per day, standing around 1.2m tall, and showing strong metabolic activity. That tells us everything we need to know. --- ### 🍃 Small Imperfections We noticed minor leaf burn from under-canopy LED exposure. Nothing serious — and most of it was naturally removed during defoliation on the second plant. A reminder: Not everything needs correction. Some things just need understanding. --- ### 🎭 Meet Mr. Baggy This week also marks the official arrival of Mr. Baggy. You may have seen him around already… but now he joins the journey properly. Part observer, part assistant, part silent chaos. Welcome to the crew. --- ### 🔮 What to Expect Next Week • Continued bud stacking • Increased density and structure • Possible defoliation of the first plant • Early signs of terpene development becoming more noticeable We are entering the phase where everything starts to connect. --- ### 🤝 Gratitude To everyone who passes by — The long-time supporters, the new ones, the curious minds, the silent observers. To the platform. To the partners. To those who love it and those who question it. All of you are part of this.

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.

Overall I got 11.15 ounces of dried flower from these two plants, and amazing haul. I think that if I hadn't had to move the tent and mess with the structure I would have gotten even more.

Started on Wednesday and today, Saturday, transferred them to the pot. Quite happy rn :)
