28 days! Added the Mars Hydro SP3000 to tent at the end of the week to achieve a wider light spread. The HBSS cross is still slow growing but also shows only a hand full of pre flowers, a pretty "long" veg I guess. Maybe she will get a boost later on? The GWK cross on the other hand I would say entered bloom some when this week, will mark the diary with bloom starting next week. It is also growing really strong and fast, wiggling and stretching all the time, gotta tie it down a little more every single day and remove leafs shadowing lower nodes. Increased EC somewhat with Yara Kristalon Orange (bloom) and will continue to do so next week. Overall a very good week, even with the summer heat all goes just fine. Values are average of the day.

🌸 Week 6 Flower – Gelonade Diaries The Gelonade girls continue their elegant dance into flower, both Pheno #1 and Pheno #2 shining in their own unique way. Their structures remain remarkably similar, tall, strong, and full of energy, while each holds onto her own personality, expressed in leaf form and flower shape. This week we noticed a few small spots on the leaves. Nothing dramatic, nothing to sound alarms about, but enough to remind us that plants, like people, sometimes whisper when they need something. It could be calcium, it could be another minor imbalance, but the key is observation. We’ll keep a close eye, watching for patterns, listening to what the girls want to tell us, and adjusting gently if needed. 🌱 Quick Recap (For Those Just Joining) From the start, this run has been about detail and care. • Germination was clean and quick, the girls leaping from seed into life. • Veg was marked by strong branching, healthy leaves, and the unforgettable funky unicorn foliage of Pheno #2. • Transplanting into super soil and fabric pots gave them the room to spread their roots and breathe. • The shift into flower was smooth, guided by careful lighting, steady feeding, and a balance of Aptus and Plagron nutrients. • Weeks 4 and 5 saw sativa-like stretch, white hairs bursting across every cola, and canopy lights filling every corner with photons. Now here we are in Week 6: the garden maturing, the flowers stacking, the personality of the genetics truly revealing itself. 💧 Feeding & Balance The recipe continues to revolve around Aptus Regulator, CalMag Boost, Top Booster, and Plagron’s Power Buds, Sugar Royal, and Green Sensation, with Aptus All-In-One Liquid helping tie the orchestra together. We’re keeping EC balanced, always mindful that the soil already provides a strong foundation. 💡 What’s Happening & What’s Next This week is all about observation. Flowers are swelling, resin begins to sparkle in early traces, and aromas start to hint at what’s to come. What to expect: denser buds, richer pistil coloration, and a canopy that will soon demand defoliation for airflow. What not to expect: miracles overnight. This is the stage of patience, where the magic brews quietly within each calyx. 💚 Closing Thought The Gelonades remind us that growth is rarely flawless. A spot on a leaf is not a failure, but a message. Perfection isn’t the goal, balance is. And balance is exactly what these girls are showing us week after week. May the flowers swell with grace, may the leaves whisper their truths, and may the grower’s patience be rewarded in full bloom. PS: Understanding Foxtailing One of the girls, our Pheno #2, is starting to show signs of foxtailing. For those new to the term, foxtailing refers to when buds grow in elongated, irregular patterns instead of stacking neatly into the dense, conical shape we often expect. The result is a flower that looks “spiky” or “funky,” almost as though the plant is growing multiple little towers from a single cola. Why does this happen? There are two main sides to the story: • Genetic Foxtailing: Some strains naturally express this trait, especially sativa-leaning hybrids. In this case, foxtailing is simply part of the plant’s personality, often leading to extra surface area for resin glands, which can even mean more trichomes and aromas. • Environmental Foxtailing: Stress factors can also trigger it — high heat, intense light (too much PPFD), or shifts in feeding can encourage buds to keep stacking in odd ways rather than finishing their round formation. In our case, the temperatures have sometimes pushed higher than ideal, and the lights are running strong, so those factors might play a role. But genetics also carry a heavy influence, and Gelonade — being sativa-leaning, can naturally lean toward these elongated flower expressions. Is foxtailing a problem? Not at all. While it can look unusual compared to the “textbook” cola shape, it doesn’t reduce quality. In fact, it can increase flower mass and surface resin coverage, giving us more material and potentially more complex aesthetics. Some growers even treasure it as a unique expression of their plant’s individuality. So while Pheno #2 may look a little funky, we see it as a gift, more fruit, more character, more story to tell. This is the garden’s way of reminding us that beauty doesn’t always fit a mold, and that variation is part of the magic of growing. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Here we go a little loom at my Mars hydro tent

En esta actualización se incluyen 2 semanas ya que por trabajo me fue imposible añadir la semana anterior. El día 15 de Agosto recibió la segunda pulverización de Bacillus Thuringiensis para prevenir el ataque de las orugas. Sigo alternando riego de agua un día con riego de Ascophillum Nodosum al día siguiente. He dejado de regar con Cannazym.

Having this plant with the highs and lows makes me appreciate a plant like this and how strong they can be ... The growth has been quick and the bud sites have really started filing in better this second week ..can't wait for the next couple weeks and how big they be..cheers

the smell starts to get stronger 😍

This week a lot is happening with Tamara 👸. Our little princess is entering bloom 🌸 with everything she’s got. Formation of her first flowering traits, the beginning of the stretch. So, it’s time to do a little more than just feeding her every 2–3 days with a light nutrient solution. A scrog net is being set up in the box, and since Tamara‘s stretch really kicks off compared to her growth in the past weeks, she’s also getting some LST. Some would say you shouldn’t do that at this stage 😅😉… well, I do. And what can I say, it doesn’t look like she’s having any trouble with it 😂🤗. By the end of this week she’s even already reaching up to the net … so now it’s time to guide all the other shoots as well … “little” Tamara …

This week they had more water and more knf soil soak , Including fish amino acid , lacto basilicas, WSK, WCAP , OHN . Bud booster this week probably bac bloom stimulatior.

Welcome to week 9 / flowering week 3 🌱 I had a little incident with the blumat system and accidentally flooded the tent. Nothing to worry about, everything is fine 😅🌱 The girls are growing well, PPFD levels are good and we’re on the road to mid flower. They keep getting bushy again, so I might defoliate them a little more in the next days. Also the blumat system needs more adjustment. Happy growing friends 🧙‍♂️

white widow auto from RQS, harvest of 200 grams dry for 6 plants in 7 liter pots, really happy for my first 🤩. after 4 weeks in a jar (which breathes 10/15 minutes a day), the taste and the smell are magnificent, the effect is excellent for the day, I will grow again, for sure, really a pleasure to smoke 🤩

two days of darkness satisfied! 👹

Perfect to this point dense even colas. Smelling great covered in 💎 last week has been compost teas last one given today. Only water for the next 7-10 and nothing after that till harvest besides 36hr of darkness Home stretch time

Well she has definitely recovered, the frost is starting to appear.... Day 64 - Tuesday 18/12/18 - Added 3 litres of water, 6ml A+B - ph is stable. Day 65 - Wednesday - changed reservoir for fresh solution Day 66 - Thursday - added 1 litre of water , smells lovely Day 67 - Friday - added 2 litres of water and 6 ml A+B Day 68 - Saturday- added 2 litres of water and 6 ml A+B Day 69 - Sunday - added 2 litres of water and 6 ml A+B Day 70 - Monday - added 2.5 litres of water and 2 ml A+B Looks very frosty ,smell s very strong lemon

Uped the nutrients a little , next feeding will be the last , to flush out the soil before harvest.

Semana 5 dia 35 . La planta se desarrolla de forma claramente índica. Como se puede ver en las imágenes la poda apical ha generado que de nuevo vuelvan a brotar hojas deformes aunque la salud general de la planta no se ha resentido. Esta será la última semana de vegetativo, deberían haber sido cuatro, pero la primera semana no se desarrolló correctamente. He colocado la malla scrog para ir guiando las colas para sacar idealmente 19 colas. También he cortado dos hojas grandes para favorecer la penetracióin de luz y volveré a hacerlo probablemente en la semana 7 o finales de la 6 para favorecer la ramificación dia 36 - He cambiado el ciclo de luz a 12-12 con la malla bastante poblada, también he cambiado la dosis de abono que añadiré en la siguiente semana.

Hi people! Well? Here comes the week before the harvest. 2203, 2205 and 2206 are ready for harvest. I washed them off today. as for 2204, this girl started flowering a week and a half later than the others, so she will stand for another 2 weeks. now in order. 2203, my favorite! she is the tallest of them all. and probably the most productive. because the buds are just huge. and they are not fluffy and soft as it may seem in the photo. they are incredibly tough. This variety has been different from the rest since its birth. she quickly gained height and soared up to 160cm! from the beginning I thought it would be 100% sativa dominant! literally everything was about it. leaf size and shape. structure of branches and inflorescences. BUT! when it began to bloom and take on the shape of buds, I hesitated in my conclusions.)) perhaps this is still a hybrid with sativa. We will know about it exactly after the harvest. Smell: Banana scent is very strong. This is probably the only fragrance that I don't doubt. there are also notes of flowers, and something sour and bitter at the same time. my nose is not good enough to pick out all the flavors that this wonderful variety has to offer. but definitely the smell is fruity and sweet with an admixture of mustard. 2204 this is a very unusual variety. during the growing season I was sure it was an indica. she grew low dense with large leaves. I thought she didn't grow big. why did I call it unusual? because it looks like a photoperiod variety. leaves and inflorescences are different from all the rest. the buds are not big at the moment but very dense. and there are so many trichomes that even large leaves are covered with them. smell: conifers. herbal. citrus. slightly sour. growers will understand me, the smell is such that only strong strains have. I'm sure that high from her will be armor-piercing! 2205 there are varieties that simply fascinate with their ideal forms, color and growth. And this girl is one of them! medium sizes. looks like a pure hybrid. I think 50-50 from the beginning of flowering, a light pink-purple color appeared in the buds. I thought it would become richer as it grew, but oddly enough, the color remained the same soft pink. very unusual for me. I love colored varieties and I have a lot of experience with them. but I have never seen such a delicate pink shade in buds. just a beatiful woman. smell: without a doubt, the smell of chocolate prevails! coffee, cocoa. the sweet smell of perhaps sweets or caramel is also very pronounced. but this girl is definitely made of sweets! 2206 this girl was the most unpretentious and inconspicuous. because she did not require special attention to her. grew without problems. the buds are also very very dense. like a stone. these buds are just my pride. because they are formed flawlessly. strewn with trichomes like snow. I sometimes just want to bite off the top of the bud. smell: wooden, coniferous, nutmeg. there is a little citrus aroma, but very far.

This is the end of this journey with my first grow and it turned out pretty good for an newbie grower like me, i let the plant cure properly also to get the maximum out of the terps 😋 i'm really happy with the grow and will continue to grow more and more 😈

Hab bisher wohl was richtig gemacht mit der Royal Gorilla von RQS, sehr gute Genetik gefällt mir 👍🏼 Werde wahrscheinlich noch 1-2 Wochen warten auf die Ernte

Taking a little longer than expected got other girls in the tent anyway so it's no problem waiting as long as they need the white widow is a few days behind the grape ape and it's mad how much a fee days difference
