The Trop Cherry was harvested on day 56 and dried in the tent at around 16-20°C with a humidity level of 60%. After a week, she was ready to be trimmed and then spent another two days drying in a cardboard box. Now the buds are in their container for curing. Updates to follow Dry Weight - 40 Grams

Sie hat die sehr gemischte Woche mit viel Regen, Wind und etwas Sonne überstanden. Ihre Federn an den Triebspitzen beginnen sich rotbraun zu verfärben. Sie hat die Hauptblütezeit überstanden und reift nun weiter. Ich konnte keinen weiteren Schimmel entdecken, das behandeln mit Isopropanol hat sehr gut gewirkt , dank für den Tip @Comfrey. Leider ist es gerade sehr windig, so dass Makro-Aufnahmen nicht möglich sind. Es vertrocknen bereits mehr Stempelhaare als neue nachwachsen. Vielleicht wird sie gleichzeitig mit der Durban Poison fertig, was mich vor logistische Platzprobleme bei der Trocknung stellt. Wieviel Wasser wird benötigt um einen 72l. Topf zu flushen oder erledigt das das Wetter von selbst outdoor? Vielen Dank für den Besuch mit besten Wünschen für eine schimmelfreie Outdoor-Woche!😀 --- It has survived a very mixed week with lots of rain, wind and some sun. Its feathers at the tips of the shoots are beginning to turn reddish brown. It has survived the main flowering period and is now continuing to ripen. I couldn't find any more mould; treating it with isopropanol worked very well, thanks for the tip @Comfrey. Unfortunately, it's very windy at the moment, so macro shots are not possible. More pistil hairs are drying up than new ones are growing back. Perhaps it will be ready at the same time as the Durban Poison, which presents me with logistical space problems when it comes to drying. How much water is needed to flush a 72-litre pot, or does the weather take care of that itself outdoors? Thank you very much for visiting, and best wishes for a mould-free week outdoors!😀

2/21/2023 - Day 50: Starting pre-bloom this week. Changed the light from 18/6 to 16/8. Also, started adding my bloom nutrients. Watered about 3.5 gallons and threw a little bit of everything in today. Started with Jay Plantspeaker Quillaja as a wetting agent, then added Rootwise Micro Complete, Enzyme Elixer, and Bio-Phos, BuildASoil Big 6, BuildABloom, Coconut Powder, Pure Protein Dry, Yah-Whey, Fermented Comfrey and Fermented Peach. Also top dressed with some BuildAFlower. 2/23/2023 - Day 52: not much to report. Plants are doing great, and seem to like the slightly cooler temps lately. Mainly just been tucking branches under the scrog screen and doing some super cropping in an attempt to keep my canopy even. 2/24/2023 - Day 53: gave the plants their weekly IPM, with a foliar spray at lights out of warm distilled water and BuildASoil EM-5. This is also to clean the leaves in preparation for the flip to flower next week. 2/26/2023 - Day 55: last day of veg. Officially flipping to flower tomorrow. The scrog screen is pretty full, other than the Frozen White Runtz, which is barely reaching the screen. Hoping it will catch up more during stretch. Also, plan to put a second layer of trellis on.

✨ Fairytale Leaves & Phenotype Magic Welcome to flowering, where potential meets reality. Both Gelonade phenos are stepping into this new phase with vigor, balance, and beauty — but one of them is telling a very special story. 🍃 Pheno #2: The Leaf Dancer This pheno has leaves that defy convention — opening in a structure that resembles a human hand folding out from the palm, each finger unfurling in elegant rhythm. Imagine: • Three central “fingers” • Each outer one splitting into three more • Forming a seven-pointed star, nested within a trinity of growth It’s not a mutation that hinders — it’s a genetic flourish. A dance of symmetry, expression, and vitality. 🌿 These aren’t just leaves. They’re art. 🖼️ We’ve captured this in photos and video — no filter needed. Just nature doing its finest work. Plant Stats – Week 1 Flower / Week 5 from Seed: • Height: approximately 40 cm • Light Intensity (PPFD): 766 µmol/m²/s • Temperature: 31°C • Humidity: 50% • VPD: 2.23 kPa • EC: 0.6 • pH: 6.1 Despite slightly high temps and VPD, the girls are loving it. They’re adapting, stretching slightly, and showing excellent turgor and coloration. ⸻ 💧 Nutrition & Soil Strategy This run is driven by a super soil base, and it’s doing the heavy lifting. That’s why we’re keeping the water feed light and strategic. 💦 Current Feed (per liter): • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml → Strengthens cell walls, improves nutrient flow • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml → Supports structure and photosynthesis • Aptus Top Booster – 0.25 ml (new this week) → Prepares for flower, encourages early bloom structure ⚠️ No All-In-One Liquid now → The slow-release pellets in the soil cover the macro-nutrient demands. → This keeps EC low (~0.6) and prevents salt buildup. We’re letting the soil biome + amendments guide the bulk of nutrition. Water is a carrier, not a crutch. ⸻ Why Switch from Start Booster to Top Booster? Start Booster = roots & early leaf Top Booster = flower signal + potassium focus This switch marks the turning point: Roots are now established, and it’s time to nudge the girls toward blooming, gently and with precision. Top Booster also enhances: • Early bud site formation • Transition metabolism • Potassium availability for cell expansion ⸻ Gear Check Everything is tuned in and working in harmony: • Lights: Future of Grow LED + ThinkGrow Model One • Controllers: TrolMaster Tent-X + Spider Farmer GGS • Airflow: • Two 6” carbon-filtered exhaust fans • One 6” filtered intake • Controlled by both ecosystems All this tech = manual precision + automated consistency ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect Next We’re not seeing pistils yet, but the structure is shifting. Nodes are spacing. Branches are reaching. Energy is focusing upward. Here’s what we might expect in Week 2 Flower: • First signs of pistils • Shift in leaf texture • Possible terpene expression (early scent) • Stretch phase (up to 2x height) ⸻ The Fairytale of Pheno #2 Sometimes, a single plant will speak louder than others. Pheno #2 is doing just that, not with speed or size, but with shape, rhythm, and elegance. The leaves whisper a story: Of lineage, light, and mystery. Of something old reborn in a new form. Of a garden that listens, and a grower who sees. ⸻ 💚 Final Thoughts This isn’t just a grow. It’s a living exploration of genetics, care, and love. As the Gelonades move toward flower, we’re watching not just for yield, but for expression. For surprises. For beauty in all forms. Week 1 of flower is quiet, but underneath, everything is shifting. Let’s walk slowly. Observe closely. Love fully. And let’s see what Week 2 has to say 🌸 With love and green respect, DD (Dogdoctor) & The Gelonade Girls 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

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 💚

En esta última semana de prefloracion, aprovechamos a hacer otra poda de bajos y defoliación (como podéis observar,si se ha llevado bien hsta ahora el cultivo,y hacer correctamente los cortes,y en su momento, se recuperará en apenas horas/día. Seguimos regulando el led a un 75/85%(225/240w aprox) y entra en acción el terpesyn. Volvemos a aplicar enzynabis

******** Week 7 - January 21 to 27/20 (Days 43 to 49 from seed popping) Well this girl has sure kept one guessing as to when the heck the outcome is going to be. She was slow getting going but she has kept a constant pace of growth and has been getting bigger and developing more every week👍 She set her buds in this week and has started focusing more on buds and seems to be less on growing stems😁 Her stems have strengthened more over the last couple of weeks and are getting pretty stiff......yes! Shouldn’t have to get out too many eye-poking bamboo stakes ahead. Bud diameter is good now and not as tiny. They are starting to grow up as well, swelling. Top cola is filling in as well. How much will she fill in....time will tell. Not sure just how big her root mass is but don’t expect its huge and bound, sides of pot give when some pressure applied down lower. Have noticed other pots with a good amount of roots are firm when squeeze the bottom. Missed some of the purpling of the stems and saw more of it at the end of the week. Will be giving her some Epsom Salt next week. Also, brown spotting on tops of leaves seem to be starting. Suspect the pH may have gotten out a bit or something locking out the P uptake???? Next week, just keep her happy and ensure the medium has the correct pH. Expect more bud swelling to come😶 Slow but steady.......... Little more detail: Jan 21/20 - Day 43 - looked hungry in the morning and then again in the afternoon. - AM feed - 1L with just Dual Fuel A and B at 1.5ml/L with a 725ppm and 5.85pH. - PM feed - 2L with Mass & Terp @ 3ml, Rhino & Rezin & LW8 & DF @ 1.5ml, CalMag @ 0.5ml = 1300ppm. added 1L water to drop to 1000ppm with a 5.9pH. - runoff water - 500ppm with 5.8pH. - leaves are dark but she is happy. She is eating:) Raise the pH though. Jan 22/20 - Day 44 - Feed in PM: 2L - Mass & Terp @ 3ml, Rezin & LW8 & DF @ 1.5ml, CalMag @ 0.5ml = 1300ppm with 5.9pH. - They are perky today….further down the plants as well. Standing up and happy. Liked the water yesterday. - SW1 is now the talest girl in the tent. The Kush is coming out with long narrow branches. - This was a heavy feed today. Everyone is perky and happy so lets push it a bit! Jan 23/20 - Day 45 - Light feeding today. Supplementals only. - 2L with Sensyzime @ 2ml, LW8 & Rezin @ 1.5ml = 80ppm 6.1pH - everyone happy so keep it light....got a good one in yesterday. - the double bud on her was noticed today!!! Little reward for screwing with me so far😛😝 Jan 24/20 - Day 46 - AM feeding: Massive @ 2ml, DF & LW8 & Rezin @ 1.5ml = 925ppm 6.2pH - everything happy in PM. She seems to have taken the heavier feed well. - There might be some tip burn forming but not obvious yet. Jan 25/20 - Day 47 - AM feeding. 2.5L 0f full strength as listed above = 1275ppm with 6.1pH. - added a little more water to bring the ppm down to 1,100......brought her down just a bit. - runoff water 530ppm with 5.6pH. - pH is a little low......got to bring her up some more. - cola swelling last night, taller for sure as well. - Looking nice actually. Will have to support her. - She is now 32” tall and 28” across. Jan 26/20 - Day 48 - She is happy this morning. Didn't see big growth overnight but everyone happy this AM. - AM Feed: Mass@ 5ml, Terp@ 4ml, Vitathrive&Rezin&LW8@ 2ml, Rhino&DF@ 1ml = 1150ppm with 6.1pH. - Didn’t go to sleep before lights out today.....first time so far. - Decided to downsize other Skywalker into 1 gal pot to compare against this 3 gal pot grow. - SW1 is showing signs of P burn!! Brown random spots, and some larger. On new growth right now at tops. Jan 27/20 - Day 49 - have had good luck so far with the other girls and a quick 2 gallon flush. All seemed to be pushed a bit from Wednesdays feeding. - SW1: 2L - Sensyzime @ 2ml, LW8 @ 1.5ml = 45ppm 6.0pH @ 11:00am - Runoff not tested - SW1 was supplemental feeding. She is showing brown spots on leaves. High Potassium?? Lots with supplementals maybe pushing this too high. - First time running Terpinator. Have used Bud Factor X in past. Well fellow growers.......that wraps up another week......damn they do go fast when you look back.....always seems long looking forward though!! Grow em big n fat🙏💪

Just starting to poke out their first divided leaves. Put some mushroom mulch around the base of the stem to prevent the cover crop from moving in too close and blocking out light to the tiny seedling. It's been raining here today and it looks like it gonna continue but our cold frame allows us to control how much water gets on the seedlings (which is nice). Gave them their first compost tea consisting of green and brown vegetative matter, worm castings, some mushroom compost, and General Hydroponics subcultures M and B. Used the leftover vegetative material as mulch. Trimmed cover crop again.

I transplanted the girls and got them ready for flower. Did a small defoliation, and put them in the 4 gallon tall pots that I have grown to like. The girls took about 48 hours to recover fully from the transplant, and at the end of the week, I switched the light cycle to 12/12 Happy Gardening ! 🇨🇦👊❤️

Finally have a day off and got the babies into 3 gallons and into the tent today! I used Fox Farm Ocean Floor to repot. Running behind schedule in veg, but ready to see them take off. Also taking them off 24/0 light schedule and putting them on 18/6. Last grow I had a spider mite AND a mildew problem (sad face) so I sanitized the heck out of the tent and got a new oscillating fan. You can see it blowing the plants around in the video, making them all strong and shit lol.
