So the mainline is going great about ready to give the branches another topping. Hoping for 10-12 tops when done. My VPD is spot on and running a 800-900 PPM and 700 to 900 μmol/m²/s.for my lightning

🌱 Lemon Cherry Gelato — Week 9 From Seed (Week 5 Flower) We move forward with our Lemon Cherry Gelato, now entering what we call Week 5 of flower (Week 9 from seed, 12/12 from start). This week brings something special — not one, but two expressions of the same genetic, grown side by side, each telling a slightly different story. The first Lemon Cherry Gelato remains untouched. No defoliation. Just observation, light guidance, and studio time. She stands full, natural, and honestly… stunning. The second Lemon Cherry Gelato took a different path — what started as a light clean-up turned into something closer to an “army-style haircut.” A full defoliation to open space, improve airflow, and allow light to penetrate deeper into the canopy. Two plants. Same genetics. Two approaches. Same goal — let them express. --- ### 🌿 How We Got Here This is a 12/12 from seed run, meaning these autoflower plants never experienced a traditional vegetative phase. From the start, they grew with the signal that time is limited — and that shows in their structure. Instead of wide, heavily branched vegetative growth, they focused early on vertical development and flower initiation. Now, in Week 5, we see the result: dense bud sites forming across a compact but highly productive structure. --- ### ✂️ Why We Defoliate (And Why We Didn’t — Yet) The room is getting full. Really full. The decision to defoliate the second plant came from necessity: • Improve airflow • Reduce humidity pockets • Increase light penetration • Redirect energy toward flower sites On the first plant, we chose patience. Sometimes doing nothing is also a decision. Next week, she may follow the same path — but for now, she shows us what happens when we simply let her be. --- ### 🌸 About Those White Hairs (Pistils) What you’re seeing across all those bud shots — those bright white hairs — are pistils. They are part of the female reproductive system of the plant. Their natural purpose is to catch pollen. But in our case, there is no pollination. So what happens? The plant continues producing more and more pistils, trying to fulfill that biological mission. At the same time, it increases resin production as a protective mechanism. This is exactly what we want. More pistils → more potential bud sites → more resin → better final expression. --- ### Feeding Strategy (Why This Mix Works) We keep the nutrition consistent and intentional: • Terra Bloom → Base nutrients for flowering • Green Sensation → PK booster + metabolic support • Power Buds → Encourages flower initiation and structure • Sugar Royal → Supports terpene and sugar production • Pure Zym → Enzyme activity, root zone health • CalMag → Stability under LED conditions Nothing excessive. Nothing random. Just a balanced system supporting what the plant is already trying to do. --- ### 🌡️ Environment & Plant Feedback Room conditions: • Temperature: ~28°C • Humidity: ~65% • CO₂: ~1000 ppm On paper, some might question these numbers. But we don’t grow on paper — we grow by reading the plant. We follow leaf behavior, transpiration, and overall response (leaf VPD in practice, not just charts). The plants are drinking ~1.5L per day, standing around 1.2m tall, and showing strong metabolic activity. That tells us everything we need to know. --- ### 🍃 Small Imperfections We noticed minor leaf burn from under-canopy LED exposure. Nothing serious — and most of it was naturally removed during defoliation on the second plant. A reminder: Not everything needs correction. Some things just need understanding. --- ### 🎭 Meet Mr. Baggy This week also marks the official arrival of Mr. Baggy. You may have seen him around already… but now he joins the journey properly. Part observer, part assistant, part silent chaos. Welcome to the crew. --- ### 🔮 What to Expect Next Week • Continued bud stacking • Increased density and structure • Possible defoliation of the first plant • Early signs of terpene development becoming more noticeable We are entering the phase where everything starts to connect. --- ### 🤝 Gratitude To everyone who passes by — The long-time supporters, the new ones, the curious minds, the silent observers. To the platform. To the partners. To those who love it and those who question it. All of you are part of this.

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.

started the first week of flowing all is healthy and bug free !

D71/F23 - 11.29 - Maybe didn't love the defoliation, but looking ok. No discoloration or anything, just a little slower to start chunking up than its neighbors. <3 D73/F26 - 12.1 - The 3x3 9lb seems to have done better with the defoliation, but after I fed with a bit of molasses, found some fungus gnats flying around. Have traps and diatomaceous earth down, so we should nip this pretty quickly. D74/F27 - 12.2 - A little concerned about this one cola whose top pistils seem curled compared to the other on the plant. Take a look and let me know if this is normal or not. All my mature fungus gnats have been trapped, not seeing anymore buzzing around. I suppose the larva could still do a little damage for now? D76/F29 - 12.4 - Doing fine in the 4x5 tent :)

finally they are in flower! Yay final foliar spray applied. They are still smelling like chocolate and peanut butter. Did not get 1 drop of rain this week. It is getting so frustrating plants are 1/4 what they should be this year.

OG Kush Auto actually was germed on 12.18.22. The OG Kush ended up being a Triploid.

Start of week 4

Trying mainline Transplanted in Aug 13

15 Day dry then trimmed using the Trim Bin. Curing with Grove bags, first harvest filled 3, 1/4lb grove bags. *Updating with clone pictures of this pheno in late flower labeled in diary as you look through, If I pop a new seed of this strain Ill start another diary

major growth spurt with 2 Lsd-25,with one reaching for the sky .adopted 2 (green crack) looking better .also a tidy up with some slight defoliage .Also added small oil filled radiator on low setting for night time to maintain steady temp

Formerly "Outdoor Spring Failure (Autos)" ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── 11/06/2021 Day 70 - First day of the 11th week. Last update before harvest. Lot of sun but also lot of rain this week. Had to check weather constantly to move the babies in the shelter in case of storm, since I don't want water causing moisture in the buds. I reported the usual temperatures graph provided by a national meteorological society. They are so cute. - DD ( PS. I'm using stupid diary info (lamp distance growing outdoor, nutrient = none, ...) because of how GD algorithm work. Sorry for this. )

Ultima settimana di flush

semana de crecimiento de tricomas, ademas las flores presentan un crecimiento muy bueno, ya están madurando de verdad, el próximo cultivo lo documentaré con fotos mas claras, he aprendido mucho de tenerlas en hidroponia, me gusta y lo voy a seguir usando y explotando

Woche 13 Kaum Stempel, viele Trichome, fast schon fertig. Lustiges Mutantenblümchen. 🤔 Sollen wir sie weiter stehen lassen und sehen ob sie noch etwas Volumen aufbaut? Datum der Kamera setzt sich leider immer wieder zurück, sobald sie vom Strom genommen wird, also nicht wundern, wenn das demnächst mal nicht passt.

Ya estan todas 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Week 8
