Today is the beginning of the 5th week I see the first sings of hairs/pistles she does not need feeding so I am going to top dress her with some local bat guano and some raw bloom stage microbes in prep for the next feeding. Hopefully she gives me some more stretch. Side not I know I could be asking a lot of questions but would just rather learn the process by watching her and see what she does and when so I can better programe in the process for any other auto grow. I feed her on sunday/yesterday just to add an update. See above nutrients and additives.

Buds are getting bigger day by day. Had to make some defoliation again. My humidity is much too high. 65%. But by very good Ventilation. Hope nothing starts to rot. Specially the days after watering is horrific. Wish me luck ppl

Just started to give them full dose of cal mag, mammoth p and recharge. Their leaves got a dark green shiny, yellow tips and curling down, I think my ppms are too high and I will start flushing it out to 1500. I am growing in organic and only feeding cal mag, mammoth p, molasses, recharge and every other week a compost tea with living soil girl flower power full dose. Ph Is around 6.7 and giving it 6.5. Hopefully the next time they are read for a flush I’ll fix these.

Day 100. The Opium plant from Divine Seeds is doing absolutely fantastic! Over this time, it has shown amazing results, and I’m very pleased with how it's developing. I've been giving it maximum care, paying attention to every aspect of the grow. As for the nutrients, I’ve been using Xpert Nutrients throughout the entire cycle, and the results speak for themselves. These nutrients truly help the plant reach its full potential. I've noticed that the buds have become denser over the past weeks, and the aroma has intensified. We’ve also pruned some leaves to improve light penetration to the lower branches and possibly enhance the flowering potential. Big thanks to Xpert Nutrients for their products—they continue to impress!

So… 12 cuttings, 2 are toast right off the bat. 3 have rooted, 1 of which was transplanted into 3 gal pot and the two 8 day clones will stay another day in the humidity dome in veg tent (now known as Planck). My flowering tent is called Einstein (don’t judge me!) 😂 I have the vs1000 at 25% in Veg tent and sf4000 at 100% in flowering tent. I decided that I want feminized seeds from one (2) of these ladies so I’m going to pick two clones, one to get hit with colloidal silver to make pollen sacks and the other to get pollinated. Since both clones are female they don’t have the Y chromosome so they can’t make male seeds (although you could have a herm I guess and not know it. Maybe? Dunno) When the colloidal silver disrupts the plants normal flowering process it makes the plant make pollen sacks but doesn’t change the DNA of the plant so you are only getting XX from the pollen. And the recipient plant is also XX so the resulting seeds are only female. If I’m wrong please correct me…anyone!! What if I pick two clones from same mother?! Hmmmm. Also got to be careful to not pollinate the 7 in the flowering tent (Einstein). Plastic bags over the plant? Separate tent enough? We will see… I’m naming the clones that root after famous female scientists I admire. The first one is Ada, after Ada Lovelace, who was an English mathematician and writer, chiefly known for her work on Charles Babbage's proposed mechanical general-purpose computer, the Analytical Engine. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace) The other two get named when they are transplanted. For the 7 in the flowering tent it’s just hurry up and wait. Right?

Week 11 has been exactly the same as week 10. There has been some light yellowing one Girl #1 and some of the hairs are starting to turn orange. The colas aren’t very dense. Girl#1 has been doing some weird fox tailing on all the colas.My temperatures haven’t been over 77 and my humidity hasn’t been over 55. I have seen this before in other diaries with other stains. Guess that’s just comes with the territory of ruderalis crossed strains. Can’t really complain cause this is my first rodeo with Autos so I’m just happy to have this experience. I officially think the delayed Pineapple Express auto might not even have the autoflower trait. It’s been 11 weeks and she hasn’t showed the slightest chance of ever flowering. This is really frustrating and deflating. I’m gonna definitely have to put this girl into 12-12. That will have to be after girl #1 is finished. I’m very appreciative of all who show your continued support and give insightful infomation. Can’t wait to see what this harvest will be. This is my first official auto grow. I wouldn’t change it at all. Thank you all for your support and time. More to come soon 💚👊

hi guys, This strain is fast becoming a fat lady😃💪 I love the smell, it reminds me of lemon and orange now with that touch of "fizz" if you know what i mean👍 .... it forgives mistakes (I gave her a little too much .. so she got burned a bit ...😐 she does not like much fertilizer .... very surprising .... noticed for the next time👆 ... but otherwise everything looks pretty good .. let's see how long she still grows, since she already looks premature .... because of this year's heat wave, all my plants have had problems in the root zone. these problems are now unfolding their effect .. the root zone has taken so much damage that the roots can no longer properly feed the plant, resulting in finishing wayyyy too fast ... shit happens The resin production is of the hook and she is producing more and more😍 The grow: ph 5.8 Ec.0.9 i will lower it to 0.8 and inrease N a bit at the same time RHD:45% very good for this stage.. have a nice one people till next week

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.

Not much to say other than my inline fan fell and took with it everything on the cross pole in the tent-- that means both lights and all the cables-- and fell on top of all my plants 😂 I have to laugh now because otherwise I'll cry. The plant in flower is effed; crispy buds and the strangest burn marks, several broken stems that may or may not bend. This lil one though got away almost Scot free. Almost.

🏆 Eternity Grow Cup 2025: Plagron and Zamnesia 🏆 Strain: Runtz - Zamnesia Seeds Our girl is doing great! It's day 43 since sprouting, and 13 days since we switched the light to 12/12. She's grown significantly, with many branches stretching upwards. Given how many there were, I decided to trim her and removed about 10 thick and thin branches. I’m not sure how this will affect her, but I'm hoping to get fewer colas, though thicker and denser ones. We don’t waste anything from the pruning. The leaves that we cut off are frozen, then crushed in a blender. We mix the resulting mass with water, let it sit, and then water the plant with this solution. Additionally, we finely chop the leaves and mix them into the top layer of the soil, a practice called mulching. This way, we recycle everything and make full use of the plant material.
