07/12/2018 Two days two inches of growth. Veg in full swing 07/15/2018 She is a foot tall, normally I would top her now,but it is late in season and hours of light are getting shorter, so gonna let her do her thing. 07/17/2018 13.5" tall almost feeding time. Will start feeding her in week 4.👍 07/18/2018 Uploaded 2 photos Fed with Espoma tomato tone 3-4-6 top dressed watered in with plant success Organic granular 3-1-2 Product Description Endo & Ecto Mycorrhizae: Beneficial Bacteria, Trichoderma & All-Purpose Fertilizer

The start of week 5 is going well. Blueberry is smelling nice and my seedlings should be showing preflowers soon.

After dropping my plant last week I thought it was done for. But the new light really seemed to make all the difference for her. Having her in the tent is good because I can control the humidity a little better. But to be honest I'm doing a crap job at it ... Humidity can be anywhere between 50 and 80%. When I went to work on Tuesday the plant jumped up. Amazing how much growth in just a few hours. I was thinking about whether I should top her or not. I don't think I will though because she seems like a nice sturdy little plant At the end of the week I decided she really needed to be repotted.. I thought I was pushing it going early but I got a new light in and was planning to take her off the shelf and move her to the floor so it seemed a good time. Turned out to be a good choice. She's lovely

Difficult strain to grow if you can’t check some parameters... colors, smells, Frost is unbelievable Her sister go surely better and need more weeks to go Waiting for revenge against pH !!

Easy Going No Issues

Start flushing them! Love the colours ✨😍

Best smoke I've had in years!!!!

First week went well, got two plants in coco coir and one in soil. One of the plants in potting soil came up a day after the other two but they’re doing fine

12th week. I removed some unwanted yellow leaves. I really like this plant, nothing changed, watering happens the same way and same amount of water. I am so excited. Really nice flowers on it and stinky like citrus smell and sweet very well coated with THC. Beautiful plant and really short.😅 I just checked the trichomes and they are still immatured, not even milky. Very strong smell and big buds. Beautifully coated with THC everywhere. I love this plant. Fan leaves started getting yellow as well. I think it is 4 weeks more approximately to be finished. I removed some fan leaves the biggest ones as it started turning yellow because the plants takes the energy out of it. Better airflow and more light to the flowers, and good tea for me from the leaves 🥂🤪😇 I also set the lamp distance to be 20 cm. End of the week Purple Punch is 43 cm.

A wonderful genetic thank you Fast Buds ❤️‍🔥🤩 The trim was super easy the buds are FAT & FROSTY full of resin 🤤 I’m very happy with the harvest 103g !! For the light i’ve used the Spider Farmer SE-7000💡

🍒 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.

14nov25, 2pm. 3 weeks, 22 days (now is the beginning of week 4) since dropping helmet. LST training continued with the next pair of real leaves, i.e. at the moment 2 pairs of real leaves (lacerated) leaves are being bent down by hooks, why? to promote side buds' growth. Substrate: 22C; Air: 25C; Humidity: 55%; Distance to upper lamp (Mars Hydro): 25cm; Distance to blurple Venom 80W: 23 cm; Lighting intensity: 50%.

Another great week for the Apple Betty girls. I have not seen a single deficiency, other than the odd yellowed or withered leaf under the canopy, typically due to lack of light. I will come through soon and do a defoliation of both tents to allow for more light to penetrate, and perhaps get a good push for some girthy colas 😋. I have lowered the temps a bit in the tents by controlling my lung room temps, and they are maxing out at 77 degrees and hitting a night time cool of about 70. I have also lowered the humidity to hover between 47 and 52 %. Hopefully will start to get some nice colours as they finish. As I mentioned before, when I water is when I like to get under the canopy and check the stems and leaves for anything that shouldn’t be… and typically once a week after watering I’ll wipe down the tent and sanitize any surface I can. There is no reason to get lazy, that’s how you get Pests, Mold, and PM. Happy Gardening 🇨🇦👊❤️

Auto cous kush is just coming onto it's own, making plant matter and working overtime in that slightly cold medium. I added aloe as a rooting agent, tried to ph it down to 6.5 using lemon juice (not doing that again lol?) and ended up catching the start of pH shenanigans so i started applying an amino acid spray onto the soil (not the plant!) . using my kelp extract concentrate at 1ml a L in my 250ml spray which means a 1/4ml , that gets sprayed once onto the plant. gonna top off the pots next watering. in soil ppm went from 360 to 420 , vpd went from 0.8 to 1.1.

Start flowering stage. 30/04 : Defoliation Made EC1.18 (but maybe I should raise it ?? ) PH 5.5 raising 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Lesson Learned: CHECK THE METERS EVERY DAY ON RO WATER AND VERIFY EC=9,5 AND PH=6,7 IF IS NOT TEST YOUR METERS 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 asked advice to @YYCannabis and the community 😀 01/05: EC1.28 PH 5.9

I have not dealt with such an unpretentious girl for a long time! very easy to grow. I got only udovstye from her!) I really wanted her to become black at the end. but unfortunately it did not work out ((but no matter how it was, I am generally 100% satisfied with the variety
