Okay So still only 2 Plants are truly in veg. OG Kush Seedsman #1 Gelato Auto Fastbuds. The Run OFF came at 6.3-6.4 during week 6 So I'm still feeding at 5.5. Feeding every 2-3rd Day only with the Nutrients. Feeding Nutrients only with every feed because plants were stunted already. And I already flushed them in the midway because of crazy ph and TDS, And since using only Cal-mag ph water is like 4-5 days of wait for the nutrients feed and this is flowering time plants like as much feed as possible. Maybe I'm wrong. But I'll flush again if needed but I don't think I'll be needing that anymore. So.

Sweet Zenzation or Zkittles grew great under the Unit Farm UF4000, and UF2000 lights. The UF2000 was added during flowering. She was part if a 5 plant grow. I will try to add a harvest video here once I cut it down. She has a nice color morph from the fade as well. Great frost, and smell. Thank you Sweet Seeds, and Unit Farm. 🍻❄️🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the likes, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel. 🍻🌱👍 Happy Growing 🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Week 1 of flower is in the books and she's starting the stretch. She's looking really healthy and showing a lot of potential bud sites. I have trimmed up some leaves to allow more light penetration throughout the entire canopy. I really wish I put up a trellis but oh well. Looking forward to the buds this one puts out.

Aug 8: going great. The multi layer scrog net is working great and the colas are starting to fill in. Very exciting. Aug 9: added another scrog net and clipped to twine. This is working as a way to shape the plant while providing resilience against winds, etc. Molasses are now stopped after three weeks of flowering. Molasses are Great for growing not for smoking.

The cherry bomb has done well in expanding her growth after topping. I am having a ph problem again, and had to move the tent due to really cold weather. She is starting to show signs of nute burn. I have cleaned out the DWC bucket, and I am flusing her for a few days. I have put this plant through a lot of stress, and she continues to bounce back. I am very pleased with this plants Resilience.

Aug 10: Blueberry Pie F1 Fast is doing great. Three weeks now moving her into the garage which is enough, and now I can just leave her in the yard which is easier and scores another couple hours of sunlight per day. Nice solid start to flowering, and I like the schedule used this year for the force flowering. This strain is delivering on the promise of being big and fast. Bright sunny day and I’ve got the UV lights on. About five hours today with the UV lights at mid-day. Buds are looking really good. The bud development after 3 weeks is amazing. The buds got visibly much fatter just today. Compared to some fast plants in previous years, this one is about 2-3 weeks ahead. Very well suited to short season outdoor growing, but partially due to full darkness in the garage rather than just phyto-forcing with the far red light as I did last year. I’m still using the far red light, but putting them in the garage provides more darkness and helps get strong flowering started. Aug 12: nice fat buds forming quickly, gotta like that. Aug 14: fast, fast, fast. Flowers are progressing quickly. Added three tablespoons of a 50:50 mix of Power Bloom and malted barley. Added as top dressing and then watered in. Aug 16: cool, overcast all day, a bit of rain and smoky so not a nice mid-August day. Rain should help but out some fires in northeast BC, Yukon, and northwest Alberta. maybe. BC needs rain to break their record drought. #seedsman420growoff #seedsmanseeds

Starting to show their fruits now .. so happy on how the girls are progressing … defoliation to help penetrate them lower bud sites and while putting them through the scrog i ended up snapping 2 as you can see in photos unfortunately I couldn’t save them But she’s still thriving and the aroma off them is already a Bubblegum / Marshmallow so really looking forward for these teens to become lady’s

Cruising right along into week 5 of flower nothing to crAzy to report but stretch has finally stopped and focus is into bud development. Smell is getting stronger as the days go along. Just dropped a video on the channel it’s uploading right now, but other than that we chilling see y’all next weekend 5TH WEEK OF FLOWER FANTA SEA RBX AND GLUE BERRY OG https://youtu.be/kgcvqlGLw84

flipped to flower November 09 2018 8 inches tall

Proper watering ceromony - Bob Marley would be proud.

Last day of week 5 I been high asf I almost forgot about this lately lol but you see the results

06/03/19 - unfortunately this was my own fault for being gullible with a mix of just not thinking, but I got a cal deficiency on my OG which was fitting seeing as everything was going well, but I think I have resolved the problem as I’m not see the new growth being affected but I do think it has slowed down in growth abit but I’m guessing that’s understandable, I’m really happy I’ve turned to mills as I can tell a difference from my previous grows, this slight hiccup was my fault but they were that healthy I’m almost positive it’s gonna spring right back 🤞🏻 09/03/19 - definitely looks like it stopped growing for awhile as the gelatos are a hell of a lot bigger now compare to my OG but I think the problems been solved as their was only a little progression on some of the newer leaves but the newest set of leaves seem unharmed includeding the side branches. 12/03/19 - a lot smaller than the gelatos but never the less I’ve started the LST/leaf braiding with the OG aswell to make sure the side branches catch up as they were stunted from the cal mag def

15 seeds germinated. 100% success rate. Seeds have been planted in a mix that has volcano ash and bat guano. The mix gets the seeds off to a great start without the worry of adding nutrients. Over the next few days they'll receive water twice a day. We water about 100ml at a time 3x a day. We water in circular motion to encourage the roots to grow out.

As an Auto she has been the most finicky plant ive ever grown. EXPERIENCED GROWERS ONLY!!!!

I start by saying that the genetics of this fantastic and super plant, the only exemplary because I was given after ordering, the first time I cultivated this variety .. I never had any problem from germination at the end of harvest, made grow for 6 weeks approximately with light hours 18/6, then kept in bloom for 10 weeks ...... and from about 10 days to dry with temperatures between 19/20 degrees, and humidity rate to 50% between today and tomorrow I'll make a nice manicure.

Semana 9, se esta haciendo largo Inicialmente pensé que en máximo 8 semanas estaba pronta para pasar a flora, pero ya vamos por la 9 y quedan 2 semanas mas La próxima semana estaré trasplantando a maceta de 18-20L, maceta ahora si definitiva También hare una limpieza de bajos, preparare todo para cuando se recupere pasar a 12/12 Sigo regando con nutrientes de Vegetativo, agua de la canilla reposada por 24hs para evaporar el cloro, que tiene 0.35 de EC asi como sale Regue con una EC de 1.68 y 5.9 de PH Gran parte de la superficie ya esta cubierta, no seguire abriendo las ramas, solo dejare que crezcan de altura y terminare de completar el espacio antes de pasar a flora

12/12 from seed. Week 12 overall. Week 8 of flower. And this week, one Lemon Cherry Gelato came down. Not because the room was finished. Not because the cycle was over. Because sometimes the plant tells you one thing… and the jars tell you another. This wasn’t a full-room harvest. This was a selective cut — one plant, chosen carefully, taken early enough to keep the room moving and late enough to still deliver exactly what medicine is supposed to deliver. And honestly? She earned it. ⸻ 🌱 Why This One Came Down Early The room is still running. The full harvest is still ahead. But one Lemon Cherry Gelato had clearly moved ahead of the pack. Not by weeks. Not dramatically. Just enough. Enough swell. Enough frost. Enough weight. Enough maturity to justify taking one while letting the others continue. That’s one of the advantages of reading plants individually instead of treating a room like a synchronized machine. Not every plant finishes on the same day. Not every expression peaks at the same pace. And not every harvest has to happen all at once. This one came down because she was the most advanced of the room — and because the medicine shelf was starting to look a little too honest. Simple as that. ⸻ Reading Ripeness Properly This is where harvest decisions stop being about calendars and start being about observation. By week count alone, she was close. By structure, she was ready enough. By resin, she was already speaking clearly. The trichomes had begun shifting. Mostly cloudy. A few still clear. A visible touch of amber beginning to appear in select heads. That’s the window. Not “fully amber.” Not “wait until everything turns orange.” Not “harvest because the breeder timeline said so.” The real harvest window begins when clarity fades, cloudiness dominates, and the first signs of amber begin to appear. That’s where she was. Not overripe. Not unfinished. Just entering the first edge of peak maturity. Exactly where many growers prefer to cut for a more balanced effect. ⸻ 🔬 Trichomes: What They Are — And What They Are Not Trichomes are not “frost.” They are not glitter. They are not just visual appeal. And they are not there to make photos look good. Trichomes are resin glands. They are the biochemical factories of the flower — producing and storing cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, and the compounds responsible for aroma, potency, and effect. What we’re watching is not sparkle. We’re watching chemistry mature. Clear heads = still developing. Cloudy heads = peak cannabinoid production. Amber heads = oxidation and degradation beginning. That does not mean amber is bad. It means chemistry is changing. More clear = less mature. More cloudy = fuller, louder, more complete. More amber = heavier, softer, often more narcotic. This plant had entered that first balanced transition. Which made her a perfectly reasonable early pull. ⸻ 🎨 Pistils, Fade & False Signals The white hairs had already begun turning. Fresh white pistils were shrinking back. Older hairs had darkened into orange and rust. That matters — but only as supporting evidence. Pistils help tell the story. They do not write the conclusion. Orange hairs alone do not mean harvest. And white hairs alone do not mean immaturity. Pistils can oxidize from age. From touch. From environment. From simple exposure. So yes — orange hairs were there. Yes — the flower had begun to visually mature. But pistils confirmed the direction. Trichomes made the decision. Color supports. Resin decides. ⸻ ️ The Cut And she was no lightweight. Big frame. Thick branching. Dense internals. Heavy tops. A trunk that did not come down politely. This was one of those plants you feel immediately when the scissors hit the stem. Tough wood. Strong vascular structure. Real weight in the hands. The kind of plant that reminds you very quickly that yield starts in structure long before it ends in flower. By the time she hit the studio, she already looked like what she had become: A full, heavy, mature plant with serious density, strong resin production, and enough mass to justify taking her early without regret. ⸻ 📸 Studio Work & Breakdown Instead of hanging the full plant intact, we took her to the studio and broke her down properly. Document first. Harvest second. Full plant shots. Top structure. Side profile. Bud architecture. Stem thickness. Trichome detail. Then the cut. Rather than dry her whole, she was broken down branch by branch and flower by flower, then transferred into the drying rack. That choice was simple and practical. A full-plant hang is beautiful. But a controlled rack dry gives better space efficiency, faster organization, and easier handling when the goal is immediate personal medicine. So this one was processed clean, sectioned carefully, and laid to dry in the rack inside the drying tent with steady air exchange and indirect circulation. No air blowing directly on flowers. No aggressive drying. No rushing the final stage. Just controlled moisture loss, clean airflow, and patience. Now she dries. ⸻ 🍋 Lemon Cherry Gelato, Week 12 from Seed And she delivered. Dense flowers. Heavy resin. Strong structure. Excellent frost. Real weight. Real presence. Could she have gone another week? Probably. Two? Possibly. Would she have gained more? Maybe. But that does not make this cut wrong. It makes it intentional. And intentional harvests are rarely mistakes. ⸻ 📘 Quick Recap — How We Got Here 12/12 from seed. No wasted veg. No unnecessary recovery. No overcomplication. A stable environment. Consistent feeding. Strong genetics. Controlled structure. Patience where it mattered. Intervention only when useful. She got here the same way most good plants do: Not through force. Through consistency. Week by week, she stacked. Flower by flower, she built. And by Week 12 from seed, she gave enough to justify the blade. ⸻ ⏭️ What Comes Next This diary continues. And that matters. GrowDiaries does not handle staggered harvests especially well, which means this is not marked as “harvest week” yet — because the full run is still active, and the second Lemon Cherry Gelato is still standing. So the final harvest report comes later. This is the first cut, not the final chapter. The second Lemon Cherry Gelato remains in the room and keeps pushing. She is not ready yet. She is close. But not yet. She’ll get a few more days. Nutrition will be cut completely next week. Then we let her finish the story in her own time. Same week. Same diary. Different finish line. And that’s the reality of growing plants instead of timelines. ⸻ 🤝 Thank You To the long-time followers. To the new ones. To the quiet readers. To the loud supporters. To the skeptics. To the lovers.

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.

Week 2 of the flowering phase flew by 🌱💨. Unfortunately, I may have overdone it with potassium or kept the water level too high – the classic signs of clawing leaves were evident. Thankfully, they seem to be recovering now and are back under control 💪🍃. My IR night experiment is showing clear results 🌌: The plants exposed to infrared radiation at night stretched significantly more. This might be especially beneficial for this indica-dominant strain as it leads to better canopy distribution, improved airflow, and reduced risks of mold and disease. Plus, the light distribution is much more efficient now, which I’m excited to see pay off. On the downside, my Orange Sherbert turned hermaphroditic 😔. It’s hard to pinpoint the cause – overfertilization seems unlikely since I’m using only organic nutrients. I suspect it might be linked to an E-field experiment I’ve been running. To confirm this theory, I’ll conduct a new grow with a similar strain next year to see if the electric field negatively impacts cannabis development. Stay tuned for updates! Drop a like and follow along for more grow insights 🌿✨. See you next week! Woche 2 der Blütephase ist wie im Flug vergangen 🌱💨. Leider habe ich wohl etwas zu viel Kalium gegeben oder den Wasserstand zu hoch gehalten – die typischen Anzeichen von Adlerkrallen waren sichtbar. Zum Glück scheinen sich diese jetzt zurückzubilden und sind wieder unter Kontrolle 💪🍃. Mein IR-Nachtexperiment zeigt bereits deutliche Ergebnisse 🌌: Die Pflanzen, die nachts mit Infrarotstrahlung bestrahlt wurden, haben deutlich stärker gestretcht. Das ist besonders bei dieser indica-dominanten Sorte wahrscheinlich von Vorteil, da es zu einer besseren Verteilung des Blätterdachs führt. Dadurch verbessert sich die Luftzirkulation, das Risiko von Schimmel und Krankheiten wird minimiert, und die Lichtverteilung wird effizienter. Ich bin gespannt, wie sich das weiter auswirkt! Leider hat meine Orange Sherbert gezwittert 😔. Woran das genau liegt, kann ich schwer sagen. Eine Überdüngung halte ich für unwahrscheinlich, da ich nur biologischen Dünger verwendet habe. Ich vermute, dass mein E-Feld-Experiment eine Rolle spielt. Um das zu bestätigen, werde ich nächstes Jahr einen neuen Durchlauf mit einer ähnlichen Sorte machen und prüfen, ob das elektrische Feld tatsächlich eine ungünstige Rückentwicklung der Pflanze verursacht. Bleibt dran, lasst ein Like da und folgt mir für weitere Updates 🌿✨. Bis nächste Woche!
