Week 2 · VEG (12/12 from Seed) We are now in Week 2 of VEG for Lemon Cherry Gelato, still running 12/12 from seed, and development is unfolding exactly as expected for this approach. At this stage, the plants remain compact and relatively small, which is completely normal. The focus right now is clearly below the surface, with energy being directed toward root development rather than top growth. This method is an art in itself, and part of the experience is observing how each genetic expresses under these conditions. ⸻ 🌱 Plant Development & Observations • Overall growth remains controlled and tight • No major stretch yet, as expected at this stage • By the end of Week 2, plants are already showing: • Three full pairs of true leaves • A fourth pair actively emerging, which is impressive for this timeline • Some plants are showing funky, personality-driven leaf expressions • Not present on all individuals • Leaf shapes look slightly irregular or playful • Curious to observe whether this: • Grows out into more standard leaf structure • Or remains a genetic trait as the plants mature This early individuality is one of the most interesting aspects of Lemon Cherry Gelato so far. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment (Unchanged) • Temperature: Same as previous week • Humidity: Same as previous week • Light Schedule: 12/12 from seed • Room & light setup: Identical to last week Consistency remains the priority. ⸻ 💡 Light Intensity (PPFD) • Current PPFD: ~500–600 PPFD • Compared to last week, intensity has increased slightly (~+50 PPFD), but still remains within the same controlled range Plants are growing into the light gradually, and it’s expected that visible top growth will increase once the root system is more established. ⸻ 💧 Watering & Feeding • Feeding & watering: Same as previous week • Nutrient regimen: Unchanged • pH / EC / TDS: Same stable values as before No adjustments needed at this point. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect • Increased growth speed once root development stabilizes • Continued leaf stacking and expansion • Early signs of structure and plant architecture becoming clearer • Possible clarification on whether the funky leaf traits persist or normalize 🚫 What Not to Expect (Yet) • No explosive vertical stretch yet • No need for heavier feeding • No drastic PPFD increases • No flowering behavior at this stage Patience is key here. ⸻ 📝 Final Notes Lemon Cherry Gelato is progressing right on schedule for a 12/12-from-seed run. While top growth may appear slow, internal development is clearly happening. The early leaf count and emerging personality traits make this one especially interesting to follow. This is one of those cases where observation matters more than intervention.

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.

That's how I know the crop was harvested too early:( ..... but only because someone started visiting my place of cultivation and took my two girls, and left two, so that he wouldn't come back a second time and take them, I decided to cut her down earlier:( that's it such news awaited me when I returned from vacation, but overall the girl looked very beautiful, although she got a lot of stress when the snails ate her, but she endured it and recovered very well:) I will dry the bigger flowers and make bubble hash from the rest, good luck to everyone be careful in nature :).

Another week and flower and all is good! happy vibes in the tent, plants transitioned well even with some technical errors like power cuts etc. Looking forward to the late stage of flower, structure is beautiful !!

I love growing its a big passion of mine , and the fact that GD exists makes everything so much better, one can interact with others and enjoy and learn from each others. Thank you all growers love and keep them green <3 <3 <3

Willkommen zur achten Woche – Blütewoche 4 liegt hinter uns Wouw – acht Wochen sind schon wieder vorbei! Leider kommt das Update diesmal etwas verspätet, da mich eine Krankheit kurzfristig ausgebremst hat. Die Woche selbst verlief allerdings sehr ruhig. Die tägliche Arbeit ist inzwischen auf ein absolutes Minimum gesunken, da die Ladys ihre Routine gefunden haben und konstant weiterarbeiten. Die Entwicklung bleibt – wie in den Wochen zuvor – durchweg hervorragend. Fast die gesamte Blütezeit liegt bisher im absoluten Sweetspot, was sich nicht nur sehen, sondern trotz Filter und konstantem Unterdruck auch deutlich riechen lässt. Das Terpenprofil ist bereits jetzt sehr ausgeprägt. Es verteilt einen intensiven, süßen Duft im Raum, der stark an Zitrone, Limone und andere fruchtige Aromen erinnert. Besonders spannend ist dabei, dass sich die Aromen trotz der Geruchsfilterung gut durchsetzen – ein deutlicher Hinweis auf ein kräftiges Terpenprofil und gesunde Pflanzen. In puncto Wachstum hat vor allem die kleine Nachzüglerin in dieser Woche ordentlich aufgeholt. Mit über 37 cm Zuwachs steht sie nun bei beachtlichen 98 cm. Die Pflanze unten rechts hat sich auf 105 cm gestreckt, oben rechts misst nun 83 cm. Und der dominante Sativa-Phänotyp hat es mittlerweile sogar auf stolze 130 cm geschafft. Da sich das Höhenwachstum bei den meisten weitgehend abgeschlossen hat, geht nun sichtbar mehr Energie in die Ausbildung der Blütenstände – und das merkt man. Die Buds haben in der letzten Woche ordentlich an Volumen und Harz zugelegt und wirken schon jetzt vielversprechend. Nährstofftechnisch habe ich Green Sensation inzwischen durch Canna PK 13/14 ersetzt. Zusätzlich kam Cannazym zum Einsatz, um die große Wurzelmasse gesund zu halten und den Stoffwechsel zu unterstützen. Leaf-Tucking wird weiterhin regelmäßig angewendet, um den unteren Trieben Licht zu verschaffen, ohne die Pflanzen unnötig zu belasten. Zudem wurden die Ladys in dieser Woche ein letztes Mal entlaubt, um die Luftzirkulation zu verbessern und den Fokus voll auf die Blütenbildung zu lenken. Besonders zufrieden bin ich aktuell mit der Klimasteuerung – VPD, Luftfeuchtigkeit und Temperatur sind sehr stabil und genau im gewünschten Bereich. Das schafft optimale Bedingungen für die Photosynthese und fördert die Harzbildung in dieser entscheidenden Phase. Insgesamt bleibt es spannend. Der Platz im Zelt ist inzwischen sichtlich zu knapp, was die Luftzirkulation und Lichtverteilung etwas erschwert. Trotzdem bin ich sehr zufrieden mit dem bisherigen Verlauf und freue mich auf die kommenden Wochen – denn jetzt geht es langsam auf die Zielgerade zu.

Every 5± days from week 5 I suppose I get rid of below leaves and big fan leaves,which don't let the light get to the bottom buds,as was recommended in comments. They react good on that kind of stress and the bottom buds started developing too. Despite the high temperature( 28-30 degrees) they keep on growing and forming buds,happily.

since the end of last week I have started to untie the branches later in the growth. always trying to give more light to the shoots that arise from the joints, to then direct these too towards the light. All this while I lower the plant by about fifteen centimeters so that the elongation given by the change of light favors the spacing. From day to day I checked the situation and, after three days, I installed a very rudimentary net in order to re-fit the highest branches and spacing them, both between them, and being careful to leave light and space the new throats. now I am just waiting for it to start to equalize in height while it will enter, I hope very soon, in the pre-flowering and then definitively blossom. just stress if not some tying to the new thrown that will decide to come up. I will increase with fertilizers at this time when the plant will recharge to the maximum to overcome yet another change. we hope for tasty buds, this cultivation is becoming more and more interesting as it is difficult.

Aug 2: Sunday Punch EV continues to be a great plant. Third week of 12 h darkness is now done and lots of nice buds are starting to form. The buds even have their first bit of frosting showing this morning. Quite hot today but it will cool off a bit tomorrow. Aug 3: started leaving plant outside again so back up to 15.5 h of daylight here now. Continuing to use far red light at dusk as a bloom booster.

Week11 now at our first Rapier auto. He is already very sticky and strong. Smell is intensive.. Some Lime---Some Candy---Some Gas. Very hard to explain at the moment. I will give him 2 more Weeks.. This Week he can do whatever he want. Next Week i flush him with Amino/Vitamin Water ( PH= 5,7!) Then comes the Harvest :-)

Same old same vege stage

Wir nähern uns der Zielgeraden. Mehr ist glaube ich nicht zu sagen 🏻

Happy 2 Months To These Lovely Ladies. I Will Be Harvesting The Purple Purple On Friday, I Wanted To Harvest It Today But The Soil Is Not Fully Dry Out And I Don’️t Want To Harvest It When The Soil Is Still Wet. I Bought A Pocket Microscope To Check The Trichomes And Although There Are Only Literally Only 1 Or 2 Amber Trichomes On The Purple Power Some Of The Upper Buds Are Showing Signs Of Overripe By Getting Dry & Crispy And Stretching Apart. I Will Be Taking Off Most Of The Fan Leaves On The Girls Scout Cookies (5gal) And The Gorilla Glue For Better Light Penetration. The Flowering 5 Have Such Lovely Scents Coming Off Them From Sweet Berries And Pine To Different Types Of Lemon I Just Love When I When The Tent Is Close Up And I Open It And All The Flavours Just Hits Me All At Once. The Lemon OG From MSNL Is Now Over The 100cm Mark It’️s Now At 104cm(Proud Moment). Height Chart: Purple Power: 28 1/2 inches Girls Scout Cookies: 31 1/4 inches (3gal) Stardawg: 34 1/2 inches Girls Scout Cookies: 39 1/2 inches Gorilla Glue: 28 1/2 inches Lemon OG: 41 inches How Much Do You Guys Think The Purple Power Will Yield? How Much Longer Do You Think The Girls Scout Cookies(3gal) & Stardawg Has Before It Is Time To Harvest? Please Take Time Out To Like My Grow Diary, Have A Crazy Amount Of Views And Not Enough Likes To Correspond. Peace, Love And Guidance.

I’ve been a little busy with school and haven’t been able to update the grow. this video is from day 39 in flower. The smell is amazing and very pungent. My whole place would reek if I didn’t have the carbon filter

Welcome Back!💚 Nach der dritten Woche des Wachstums entwickelt sich die THC-V sehr stabil und sie geht ordentlich in den Stretch. Daher habe ich die Pflanze nun auch getopppt. Sobald die Triebe lang genug sind, werde ich die Pflanze dann auch allmählich trainieren um ihr höhenwachstum im zaum zu halten. Da ich alle Biotabs Komponenten eingefügt habe kommt jetzt die only Water Methode zum Einsatz. Die Umgebungsgegebenheiten sind OK: ————— 🌞 Temp: 21°C 🌚 Temp: 18°C bis 19°C 💨 RH: 54% VPD: 0,85 kPa ————— Viele Grüße 👋

5 août : jour 74 flo+26 : J’entame la 4 eme semaine Problème j ai des feuille super foncé et brillante on dirais du plastique je ne comprend pas , j ai vue une ou deux brûlure je pense à une sur fertilisation . j’ai réduit les nutriments par litre en espérant que c’est pas trop .. Je ne savais pas si arroser à l eau clair était une bonne idée à cause de la fluctuation de PH entre l eau clair et l eau avec nutriments ( je n est pas de ph up que du Down ) - les feuilles était un peu tombante .. je pense que j avais pas arroser à temps et que Nous étions sur un sous arrosage ? J ai arroser et j irais voir demain si les feuilles Sont redressé 🤞🏼 Hésité pas à m éclairer sur les feuille qui brille en mode plastique . 9 août : jour 78 , flo +30 ( photos suivante ) Les feuilles sont relevé c’était donc ça . Encore un peu brillante j’ai diminué les dose de fertilisant . Mais je trouve qu’il fais super chaud dans la tente avec les températures extérieurs à 40•C j ai des températures dans ma box à 36... malgres extracteur est ventilo j’espère que ça ne va pas les brûler elle sont si belle

Last few days now, i gave them one feed with canna flush. I’ll just give them ph balanced water for now. Then put them in 48hr darkness with no water. I moved them to my other tent in preparation for harvest.

Watering has increased for this young one to grow and access readily available nutrients. I might be topping her as well considering how tight of a structure she has.

The Mandarin Squeeze sisters have made contact with the solution. They are both looking healthy, but are a bit behind the others in the grow room. I plan to lst them apart from one another they get bigger. Nothing more to report.
