Week 8, the last feed! Defoliated to let more air flow and light penetrate down into the lowers of the plant. Bud's are insanely sticky, plant is covered in frost, the pics don't do it justice.

Phénotype hermaphrodite je viens de trouver une 1ere fleur mal JeCroise les doigtsPour qUe J'en ai peu Phénotype coloré cool j'ai hâte de voir l'évolution !!!!!! merci a tous ceux qui sont passés !!! 👍 Watermelon Automatic: Meet the Offspring of Tropicanna Cookies and Lemon OG Our talented breeders wanted to create a strain that tickled the taste buds to the highest point. To achieve such a terpene profile, they selected two incredibly tasty parent varieties: Tropicanna Cookies and Lemon OG. These two varieties are full of limonene, myrcene and other fruity and earthy molecules. After back-cross and stabilization of these varieties over several generations, Watermelon Automatic appeared with a genetic composition of 75% indica, 20% sativa and 5% ruderalis. This fast autoflowering strain has managed to inherit the delicious terpenes of its ancestors. Growing Watermelon Automatic: A Real Delight On All Plans Watermelon Automatic has a fast life cycle that will deliver some rewarding yields. In addition, its compact and discreet nature allows growers to grow it in places with limited space or environments hidden outside. Indoor plants reach heights of 70—110 cm and if left to their own devices, they will form a broad central branch of heads. If subjected to low-stress trellising techniques, this variety will grow closer to the ground and form a more uniform and productive canopy. Expect a satisfactory harvest of 500 g/m² in just 8-9 weeks post-germination. Plants grown outdoors reach slightly higher heights of 90—120 cm and produce a respectable yield of 100 g/plant. They thrive well in containers, raised beds or directly in the ground. Watermelon Automatic's Aromas, Flavors and Effects: A Triple Threat on All Fronts Although compact and cute, its resinous buds have a heavy striking force. A 20% THC level will smash the body with a superb comforting indica effect that will soothe body, mind and soul. Average levels of CBD come into synergy with the psychotropic cannabinoid to balance the slightest shattering ounce. Take advantage of this strain in the evening to fully enjoy its enjoyable euphoria. By doing this, you will encounter a real armada of divine flavors and aromas from its superb terpene profile. Typical scents of watermelons come to mix with other tropical fruits and earthy notes sublimate an undeniably refreshing smoke. Watermelon Automatic data sheet Variety type: Auto flowering THC: 20 CBD: Medium Indoor Yield: 450 - 500 gr/m2 Outdoor Yield: 50 - 90 gr Indoor Height: 80 - 110 cm Outdoor Height: 100 - 120 cm Flowering Time: 6 - 7 Weeks Harvest Month: 8-9 Weeks after germination Origin & Breeding History: Tropicanna Cookies x Lemon OG Type: 20% Sativa, 75% Indica, 5% Ruderalis Effect: Calming Climate: Summer Long Taste: Fruity, Watermelon https://marshydro.eu/products/100x100x180cm-grow-tent/ https://marshydro.eu/collections/ts-series/products/ts-1000/

Excited to start these ladies. This strain has the temps that make you want to keep going back for more. The flowers come out super dense and covered in trichs. Let's see if they come out as good if not better then the last time I've grown it. Got 10/10 to sprout so where already off to a great start. All In all Happy Growing

Day 64 my baby is going really well by now, she s been running fast until now and I think that’s enough with fertiliser. From today o start my flush, I will give today my last dose of regulator and from next irrigation just on controlled water until the end of maturation, I want this baby to eat everything . day 65 started flushing. ph controlled water at 6.0 i think 20 more days at max before m Day 68 First check with micro today. The baby looks already milky and amber on the top buds but the rest of the plant is still transparent. I’ll wait at least until this weekend for a re check maybe I’ll cut her in two rounds. As I be been watching a lot with micro I noticed so many dust and other stuff on the buds so I think I’ll wash her in water. Today watered ph 6. Let’s see! 🌱🔥🌱🔥🌱🔥🔥

Almost there. Took a look at her close up and most trichomes are cloudy. Added Overdrive this week to start that finishing process. Each branch has a really nice sized cola on top. Powdery mildew is practically dead in its tracks thankfully, meaning its not spreading. A bit pops up here and there, a quick but precisely guided spray with Safers Brand 3-1 and we are good. You can see it in the overshot on some leaves. This was before treatment. As far as the nitrogen toxicity, ive cut out the ph perfect line for her, minus 1ml of micro...i may even cut that. Notice how dark and thick the leaves are. I have a feeling that if I cut all nutrients now she would finish fine. Tell me what you think!

🌸 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.

So this Mybfirst attempt at straining via ScrOG. I think is going pretty good. Experienced ScrOG gets I’m happy to hear some constructive criticism. I did some light defoliation this past week, a few here and a few there for a couple days strain just to uncover some new bud sights. Someone mentioned I’d never fill that 3x4 screen with just that one plant in a 10 gallon, but I have faith.

Week 12 Flower 8 Pink Rozay This week was all about checking trichomes. Pink Rozay trichomes show mostly milk and amber. There are a few heads that are dark brown that indicate too late to harvest. The older pistils are turning orange brown and water consumption is slowing down. These and the trichome indicators indicate readiness. Based on this, I put Pink Rozay in the cool garage with low light and ice on top of the pot at night this week. Pink Rozay feeding and pics on March 23,& 26 Bloom Juice 120 ml Royal Rush 0 ml Power bud 15 ml Green sensation 15ml Cal Mag 20ml Recharge 5ml Ppm ranged from 676-777 Ph 6.5 Temp 68 Your likes and comments are appreciated.

The end of week 1 has arrived. We all know how it goes. Just playing the waiting game. At this stage these girls are just working on building their root system. The roots should be hitting the reservoir in the bottom of the buckets soon then they should take off. Got the water pumping and the lights beaming 24 hours a day. Running a low dose of maxigro. Keeping the ph around 6. Will probably be topping them around day 12. Would be amazing if I can get them ready to switch to flower at the end of week 3. But for now I'm just going to check on them 420 times a day hoping they don't die. Might be back next week if they are alive. Happy growing!
