Still spraying with Monterey BT to control the boring moth larvae. Leaned the area and provided the nutes. Watering is on the same schedule and flower production is booming. Next week I will provide video of the nutrient solution application method.

🌸 Week 7 Flower – The Calm Before the Harvest And here we are — week seven of flower, and what a journey it has been. From the very first drops of water on tiny seeds to these full, mature blossoms now bowing under their own weight — the Gelonade girls have written their own story in green and gold. Both phenos, #1 and #2, are stunning. Pheno #2, the unicorn with her foxtailing beauty, continues to fascinate — those whimsical towers of calyxes spiraling like dreams reaching for the light. Pheno #1, elegant and balanced, stands beside her sister with a classic structure, both radiating health and character. Together they show us two faces of the same soul — different yet equally divine. 💧 Now It’s Just Water This week, the feeding bottles rest. No more nutrients, no boosters, no extras — just pure water. This is the flush, the gentle cleansing before harvest. By giving only water, we let the plants draw on their reserves, enhancing smoothness, flavor, and the purity of the final smoke. It’s a closing ritual — a moment of reflection and respect for everything these plants have given. 🌱 Quick Recap – From Seed to This Moment • Germination began with The Cannakan method — simple, precise, full of hope. • Vegetative growth brought vigor, beautiful branching, and the discovery of the now-legendary funky leaf mutation. • Transplant into the 11L Amnesia fabric pots gave them the space to breathe and thrive. • Flowering came like a symphony — weeks of stretch, light, and color; a perfect balance of Aptus and Plagron nutrition; canopy lights dancing from above and below. • Foxtailing appeared on Pheno #2, transforming her into a work of art, a living sculpture of what happens when genetics, environment, and light decide to play together. Now, the flowers are glistening — pistils curling, trichomes milky, the scent rich and intoxicating. They are close… very close. Maybe not quite harvest yet, but whispering that they’re ready to show us their final act. 🌿 What to Expect Next In the coming days, we’ll watch for trichomes turning amber, for the pistils darkening, and for that subtle shift in the aroma that says “it’s time.” Expect colors to deepen, aromas to intensify, and the garden to take on that unmistakable aura of readiness. What not to expect? Rush. The girls have given us everything — now we simply wait, watch, and let them finish in peace. 💚 Gratitude To the community, the growers, the dreamers, the quiet watchers — thank you. To the sponsors and creators who make the gear that lets us grow — thank you. To the lovers and the haters — thank you too; you both push us to evolve. And to the Gelonades — thank you for being the living proof that care, patience, and love can create art from soil and light. 🌸 Closing Thought This week feels like the pause between heartbeats — the silence before the song’s last note. Everything we’ve done led us here, and everything that comes next will bloom from this moment. “May the waters run pure, may the buds rest easy, and may we harvest not just flowers — but gratitude for every step that brought us here.” 📝 PS: Pre-Harvest Notes — Knowing When It’s Time The last stretch before harvest is all about observation and patience. Every grower wants to pick the perfect moment, but that moment is a whisper, not a shout. Here’s how to listen for it: 🌼 Trichomes Your best guide. Under magnification, they tell the story. When most are cloudy with a few amber heads starting to appear, the flowers are at their peak — full potency and rich aroma. Clear trichomes mean “not yet,” while too many ambers mean the effect will lean heavier and more sedative. 🧡 Pistils Watch the hairs. Early in flower they stand white and proud, but as harvest nears they curl in and darken to orange or brown. When roughly 70–90% have changed color, the plant is signalling readiness. 🍃 Leaf Fade As you feed only water, the large fan leaves begin to pale, pulling the last stored nutrients into the buds. This is a natural and healthy fade, not a deficiency — it means the plant is completing her life cycle. 💨 Aroma Shift In the final days, the scent deepens — less sweet, more complex. Sometimes you’ll notice earthy, gassy, or fruity tones becoming more defined. That change means the terpenes are reaching full maturity. 🌙 Energy Even the way the plant feels changes — the branches seem to relax, the weight of the flowers makes them bow slightly, as if in quiet surrender to the harvest. When all these signs align — trichomes milky with a touch of amber, pistils mostly curled and dark, the fade in motion, and the room filled with a full, mature scent — then it’s time. Until then, let her dream a little longer. The last few days often bring the biggest magic. ✨ 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

We've made it to week 3! (10/12/20) I'm very happy with how the girls are going, they have definitely put in a HUGE amount of work over the past 7 days. Plants 3 & 8 are very similar(extremely fat leaves & extra bushy) Plants 1 & 5 are similar (smaller phenos reacting to nutes slightly differently) & Plants 2, 4, 6 & 7 seem to be a cross between the previously mentioned phenos(not too small and not too big/bushy & reacting to nutes fine) Feel free to compare Week 1, 2 & 3 to see the differences. Nutes are staying the same this week, although I will be spacing feedings out a little bit further(18 hours-ish), as well as feeding straight PH'd water once a fortnight. I am contemplating hooking my simple drip-to-waste irrigation system up, although the girls are pretty close to the medium still and the halos sit 5-10cm above the medium, meaning fan leaves would be drooping onto the wet halos, so I'll give it another week and see how they're doing :) Update 11/12/20 - day 22 The girls have beefed up quite a bit over the last 24 hours, I'm really looking forward to seeing a stretch soon :) No feeding today & will water plain ph'd water tomorrow. Update 12/12/20 - day 23 Gave the girls straight ph'd water today with little run off. Veg growth is really starting to boom now, looking forward to seeing where this grow goes! I'm gladly accepting any tips or tricks, as I'm still only a beginner to indoors. Update 13/12/20 - day 24 Girls are looking great today, not much to report. They didn't get a feed or watering today as the medium was still wet after a pure watering yesterday. Update 14/12/20 - day 25 There's been a big increase in growth over the past 24 hours. All the girls besides the 2 smaller phenos look 100% happy, the smaller ones have looked a little weird since day 1(Weird as in colour of the fan leaves look deficient of something, but I'm not sure what. The girls will be getting a full feeding today. There's still no signs of sex but they are feminised seeds. Update 15/12/20 - day 26 Girls are looking happy today. Temps are back to normal after a heat wave in my city(its only going to get hotter from here on out). No feeding/watering today, pots are heavy/wet enough. Started using iphone for photos now, my only lens for my DSLR is useless for most grow related photos. I will upgrade my lens before next grow. I received my new silenced fan today! I couldnt be any happier :) It is a silenced Sigilventus SE-A150J, which I have set-up with a brand new Can-lite carbon filter. I went from a rocket loud eBay fan to a completely silent inline EC fan :D I hope the girls like the silence! Update 16/12/20 - day 27 The girls are continuing to boom! and I'm over the moon about it :D I gave them a full feeding today. I have seen white pistils coming out of calyx's on most of the girls, so i'm hoping they start to flower soon. I'm having weird issues with my humidity, it seems to be fine at 40-50% for 70% of the day, but the remaing 30% of the day it goes up to 60-65%. Temps stay the same in the 5x5 tent, I have ducted air-con in the house which is on most of the day. Thanks for viewing! :)

Harvested on day 63! We got some amazing fade on some of these girls:) and I only flushed for 3 days this time around. I want to try and see how not flushing works out based on the research I’ve found. I have a frost pheno that checks all the boxes I’m looking for but we’ll know for sure in a couple of weeks. The terps on these girls are leaning towards the wedding cake with some gas ⛽️ 🎂😁😁

week intel: its time to harvest some of plants the ones that is mature enough. indica dominant plants will done first always so we should harvest them first because my base nutrients and one of boosters was salt based, i'll do flushing this week to get some relieve to plants in the last days stresses : flushing Drought stress via watering only one time with flushing this week feeding: day 1 : i flushed them with Advanced Nutrients Flawless finish and adjusted ph day 3 : no more feeding from now on day 5 : no more feeding from now on guide of the week : i harvest in 2 parts : first i harvest top of the branches and will let the lower buds to ripe another week then ill harvest the second wave. indica dominant plants will get done 1 or 2 weeks sooner than sativa dominant plants that will often takes more than 8 weeks so be aware to harvest them sooner. my dry and cure style is this: 3 days of hanging upside down to get water activity lower to around 0.6 in 50% humidity and 26 C temp (i know its a little high but we are in a hot summer right now and i cant get it lower even with air conditioner) and then after 3 days of drying i remove leaves and stalks, trim buds and move them to jar for the rest of their life :D . and in the first 4 days of curing i open the jar door and let hem get some fresh air in the jar for about 5 minutes and close the jar door again, after 4 days of curing like that buds are smokable but they will get better as they getting cured about 1 month. im happy as hell with this harvest :D.

After flushing them and defoliation, they have come back looking much more bushy! I’m definitely happy with how they are coming along, though would like to see some more stretching and growth from the smaller plant. They had their first water in 9 days on the 11th

Anesia Seeds - Chimera Cut Our girl is now 112 days from seed and 62 days into flowering. We've trimmed off all the leaves, leaving just the buds, and she looks absolutely stunning. The branches have bent under the weight of the dense, heavy buds, so we've tied them up to prevent any breakage. The time to finish is approaching, but we're not ready to harvest just yet – we still have some time to flush the roots and ensure everything is perfect before the final cut. Throughout the entire grow, we've been using nutrients from Xpert Nutrients, and the results have been incredible – the plant’s structure and bud quality are outstanding.

Glaub ich hab ein bißchen mit dem düngeplan übertrieben wie man bei dem Video sehen kann bei den Sapphire scout bei den beiden zkittles die vorne stehen auf der rechten Seite sind es die jiffies die sich nicht richtig aufgelöst haben aber die hintere sieht gut aus. Mir ist gestern durch ein Gespräch mit nem Kollegen aufgefallen das ich den spreader von der Lampe schon vor 2 Wochen hätte drauf werfen können ich Trott hab das völlig verplant hab den gestern Abend schnell mal drauf gesetzt besser spät als nie

Get ready for another thrilling update on our magnificent Triton Biscotto Lime in Week 6 of veg. This girl is on fire, and we're taking her journey to new heights. Buckle up and prepare for some green-thumb adventures! This week, we embarked on an important mission: Integrated Pest Management, or IPM for short. Now, before you imagine tiny superhero capes on mites and nematodes, let me explain. We introduced beneficial nematodes into the soil to combat unwanted pests and keep our garden in tip-top shape. These microscopic warriors wage a battle against harmful critters, defending our beloved Triton Biscotto Lime like true heroes. But that's not all! We called in reinforcements in the form of Spical Ulti Mite and Swirskii. These beneficial mites are like our garden's own special forces, launching a full-scale assault on any unwanted pests that dare to enter our domain. It's like a botanical warfare with a twist of camaraderie and a sprinkle of microscopic excitement. Now, picture this: Triton Biscotto Lime, surrounded by her nematode army and mite squad, ready to defend her green kingdom. It's a battle of epic proportions, where our fierce defenders work tirelessly to protect our plant from any unwanted intruders. And hey, who knew mites and nematodes could be such amazing allies in the quest for a thriving garden? In addition to our IPM efforts, we continued to pamper Triton Biscotto Lime with love and care. We ensured she received the optimal lighting she deserves, with a mighty 500 PPFd (Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density). It's like giving her a VIP pass to a cosmic light show, fueling her growth and setting the stage for botanical greatness. As we revel in the wonders of IPM and provide Triton Biscotto Lime with the best possible care, we can't help but marvel at the magic unfolding before our eyes. The harmony between our plant and these tiny defenders is like a cosmic dance, showcasing the power of nature's intricate balance. And here's a fun little joke for you: Why did the mites and nematodes form a rock band? Because they knew how to harmonize and strike a chord with their garden audience! In summary, Week 6 of veg has been a week of pest-fighting heroics and cosmic collaborations. Our Triton Biscotto Lime stands strong, backed by her nematode army and mite squad. Together, they create a force to be reckoned with, ensuring a healthy and thriving garden environment. As we continue this green-thumb journey, let's celebrate the power of beneficial allies, the wonders of IPM, and the magic that happens when we join forces with nature. May Triton Biscotto Lime grow stronger with each passing day, and may our garden be a haven of harmony and botanical bliss. Stay tuned for more thrilling updates, my fellow gardeners. Until next time, keep those mites and nematodes rocking and rolling, and may your green thumbs continue to flourish!

On the one hand, Oreoz Mintz, one of the winning horses of the new generation of the Girl Scout Cookies family; on the other, Lemon Tree. This is an epic parental lineage that results in a hybrid with a slight sativa dominance and dazzling qualities, with a short flowering of just 8 weeks and THC levels that can reach up to 22%, causing a very energetic and euphoric effect which is perfect for social events or if you’re looking for top creativity. Triton Biscotto Lime is a feminised strain that’s very easy to grow indoors, although she reaches her maximum potential when grown outdoors bathed by the sun of warm climates like the Mediterranean. She loves light and an aerated substrate, which allows for good oxygenation of the roots and helps the plant absorb the maximum number of nutrients. In return you will get dense and compact marijuana buds in a neon green colour which are sprinkled with amber pistils and covered in a glaze of beautifully crystallised trichomes. As her name suggests, her aroma and flavour are a subtle mix of earthy sweetness with a citrus touch, calling to mind a tasty cookie dessert with a lemon base and some hints of Diesel. A highly addictive flavour that you’ll be happy to taste free of any guilt for wanting to repeat the experience over and over again. So if you’re looking for a feminised marijuana seed that represents the best of the current cannabis scene, with high-calibre properties that contribute to her excellent reputation, then Triton Biscotto Lime has arrived on the market to meet your expectations. Try her now and become hopelessly devoted to her - Friendly reminder all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only -

What to say, every time I find myself writing about this plant, I spoke in pure romanticism, a little because I love the story and the way to do Franco the other little as his friends are honoring the memory really seriously than Full emotion because when a friend goes away you want especially bring her memory forever. Great Arjan besides being king of cannabis if a king in person, I would love to know them I admire the story of the strain hunters a lot. The Franco's Lemon Cheese, indeed I am one of which a majestic vveraeNeNe, is very very very inflated with violet nuances is very good very beautiful full of stuffing and trichomi will be ready in 7-8 weeks we are almost seeing the first colors and I would like to lend you My nose to smell it.

A day late on the diary update as I was out playing golf in paradise yesterday. Caught a 1 in 100 weather day in Half Moon Bay, CA... sunny 70 degrees and less than 10 mph wind. Almost never happens. Normally the choices are heavy fog or high wind, one or the other. Anyway... cannabis... this Cream & Cheese baby is starting to show signs she's gonna need some structural support going forward. A couple of the lower branches are starting to roll over on themselves due to their weight (relative to their structural capacity). She's spread herself out so wide and her branches are rather slender. A large number of leaves on this girl are turning yellow, compared to the other girls on the patio. Normally I just yank off fan leaves as soon as they turn completely yellow. She's 58" tall now and that's probably about it. The video I threw in here is actually a couple weeks old because it took me that long to put together. Video isn't really my thing.

I'm happy with what i'm seeing :) The cookies are stacking up like crazy, gonna have some serious cola's. The stretchy Cookie is back on track since i started making her own feed @ 70% strength of the others, she seems to like it. Aficionado French Connection Rossa Corsa Beautyfull plant all around, tight noding and big *ss leaves Def a indica dominant pheno. I'll be keeping a close eye on her deu to lot of reviews talking about Herm issue's. Gorilla breath. She took of like crazy from Day 1, she sprouted a week later than the rest and now she is the biggest among the bunch. She's a verry easy to grow strain, even though she,'s not as stacked as the Cookies. I'm expecting a decent return from her, curious to the outcome of her Wel that's it Growmies Rock on💚

Tag 22: Beide Pflanzen sind schon in die Blüte gegangen. Tag 23: Zeit zum umtopfen! Von 3L auf 6L Topfgröße. Eigentlich wird ja von umtopfen von Automatics abgeraten. Aber ich habe bei meiner letzten Automatic damit erstaunlich gute Erfahrungen gemacht. Das wollte ich nun nochmal testen mit anderen Sorten. Tag 25: getoppt bei 4 Nodien. Tag 27: Ich biege die Zweige täglich

The bud smells like candy in a jar! Very impressed with how this lady turn out, took her a little while for the buds to fatten up but I’m glad I gave her a little extra time because she definitely filled out more! Buds are extremely dense & sticky and definitely has a couch lock high! Can’t wait to grow this again using a full nutrient line & see how she does! Make sure to go check out Doctors Choice for some amazing genetics! Thanks for following & happy growing friends!🙏🏼✌️🏼🌱

Hey! This week went smoothly, thanks to ZSU! 💪 Humidity dropped, and the pot began to dry noticeably faster. Otherwise, everything is according to plan, we continue to gain weight. The substrate is slightly acidic, but the view seems to be ok. Glory to Ukraine! 🇺🇦
