LST and defoliation goes on. Kush grows very compact.

Week 2 Flower – Gelonade Run (Week 6 from Seed) The Gelonade girls are stepping gracefully into flower, evolving beautifully despite a very busy week on my end. Fewer photos this round, but I did capture a full-room video and some detailed shots of their stunning leaves, because even if time is short, the magic in the tent keeps on shining. Growth & Morphology Both phenos are showing their character. Gelonade #1 is vigorous and balanced, while Gelonade #2 is still carrying that special leaf mutation we talked about, leaves that open like a hand folding back into itself. I couldn’t resist photographing them again. They’re not just leaves, they’re little works of art. This week also saw the first defoliation of some of those big solar panels, just enough to keep airflow moving while still letting the girls power themselves. They took it in stride, no stress, only progression. Nutrient Program – Experiment in Motion The recipe shifted this week as we build momentum into flower. Start Booster is now replaced by Top Booster, and alongside Aptus staples (Regulator + CalMag Boost), I introduced a Plagron trio at 1 ml/L each: • Power Buds – to push flower initiation • Sugar Royal – to stimulate metabolism and resin potential • Green Sensation – a trusted all-in-one bloom enhancer The All-In-One Liquid remains on pause since the super soil and pellets are still carrying base NPK. Improvising? Yes. But with intention. I’ve had excellent results before with Plagron, and now I’m curious to see how their boosters synergize with Aptus. Environmental Conditions Temperatures are running a bit high (peaking at 34°C on hot days) and humidity has reached 60–70% at times. That pushes VPD to around 1.89 – not textbook perfect, but the Gelonades are adapting with grace. The TrolMaster WCS Substrate Sensor has been a game-changer here: it gives me live readouts of soil EC, moisture, and balance, all piped into the Tent-X brain. Watering is happening when moisture drops around 19–20%, promoting healthy wet/dry cycles and deeper root activity. Lighting & Room Setup The room is alive with tech. • Future of Grow Black Series 600 • ThinkGrow Model 1s • Lumatek Zeus 465w Compact Pro (newly added!) All tied into the TrolMaster ecosystem, letting me control light, extraction, sensors, and environment as one living system. Air exchange is handled by dual 6-inch extractors with carbon filters, plus a 6-inch intake, keeping fresh air circulating and smells contained. Looking Back, Looking Forward From a seed to now the Gelonades have been nothing but joy. Strong roots, vigorous structure, and personalities shining through. Flower initiation is just beginning, so no dramatic bud sites yet, but the stretch and structural shift are in full swing. Next week, I expect clear signs of pre-flowers stacking in. And because life in the garden always connects back to nature: this week I also captured a photo of a bee pollinating a flower outdoors. Bees are the true keepers of fertility on Earth, and just like them, we as growers are here to assist life in expressing itself fully. A little fairytale touch to remind us: without bees, there would be no Gelonade. ⸻ Plant Stats – Week 2 Flower / Week 6 from Seed • Height: ~50 cm • Temperature: 28–34°C • Humidity: 50–70% • VPD: ~1.89 kPa • EC: 0.6 • pH: 6.1 • Light: PPFD range 700–800 µmol/m²/s ⸻ ✨ The Gelonades are thriving.

Reta final, comecei a abaixar o ppm da rega. Em breve inicio o flush. Elas estão muito cheirosas, creio que o complemento de KNF ajuda bastante nisso.

🌱 : 💧 : 2l day 21, 6l day 22, switch to the wicking SIP 💡 : Dli: 35 mol/m²/d 🤔 :

Finally got my release date! A few days and I'm gonna be outta this bitch. Free to flower like a fucking monster after all this time....you're all in major motherfuckin trouble now. I'm about to go ape shit on everybody💲🖕💥🍽️💩

F29, se comenzó con el riego de engorde, con una EC 2.6~2.8 y pH 6.4, se han quitado un par de hojas bloqueando sitios de cogollos, los cogollos están muy resinosos, súper frosty, el olor está súper fuerte también.

All feeds with nutes use either a whole ratio or combination of "Veg Mix" and "Bloom Mix"concentrates DILUTED in water until a total ppm of add in is reached using a (Total Dissolved Solids)TDS Meter measured in PPM (parts per million). The "Veg Mix" concentrate will eventually be added in smaller ratios and "Bloom Mix" concentrate what will eventually replace the "Veg Mix" concentrate entirely with the ppm and ratios listed when I feed. Veg mix recipe is on week 3. Bloom Mix recipe is on week 5. Day 35 start of week 5 since sprout Today I increased my ppfd to 410 highest, 400 center, and 385 lowest (also raised the light panel to 32 inches and increased the wattage to my second tick up of 5) temp and humidity are set at 74F/63%RH/33%IL Vent Oldest leaves are looking more and more crusty now and crack when touched. And now one of my newest leaves are starting to show signs of the brown spots. HST looks to be going okay as all branches turned upward in a day - seems like the stems are now dried out but I could just be noticing hardwood setting in - I know they are still letting something through as the newest nodes are starting to grow - hoping it's just a transition to the new position but will obviously monitor Defoliation, removed the 4 oldest leaves affected by the brown spots to see it it speeds up on the next leaf. Did light LST to adjust binds and ensure they are not constricting the branches. Day 36 (late entry but this happened yesterday) Stats were all checked, VPD 1.0 with 73F/64%RH/33% IL Vent - Light measured ppfd at 410 highest, 400 center, and 390 at lowest Took control stats - 3 soil ph meter tests 5.35, 5.24, and 5.33 - truly concerned this is my issue, I went with hardwood ash from my grill. Measured 1/3rd cup and sprinkled it over he whole top being sure not to get any directly on the plant for fear of burn - used a gallon of de-chlorinated tap water at 8.06ph to water it in. Noticed side runoff but looked like less than a quart came out. This is where I realized I never change my drip tray out before I did this, so ppm test would be worthless so I skipped it. Day 37 Took stats this morning- VPD and lights mostly the same as yesterday, but with new growth the lights changed a little - ppfd at 410 highest, 400 center and 400 at lowest. took control pictures for each section again for comparison still showing more brown spots spreading over the oldest leaves. However the hardwood ash seems to have helped the ph. I took 3 soil meter readings this morning and got 6.27, 6.56, and 6.69 for avg of 6.506 Now I will watch to see if the feed nutes can get through and help stop the spread of the issue. Day 38 Checked ph meters - liquid meter needs slight calibration but since Im not using it today, I'll do it later. However my soil meter is still spot on. So I took 3 readings - 6.11, 6.09, and 6.1 for and avg of 6.1 - falling from yesterday by about .4 - also took a picture to show where I have been random in my soil checks Took test pictures of each quarter again. UL, UR, LL, and LR - each quarter got progressively worse still however the new growth seems to be doing pretty good still. - I dont want to take the older ones off until she shows a positive response to something. (only have these and the new leaves left.) So I plan to treat with feed dunk/de chlorinated tap again (not today, in a day or two) Did some slight adjusting of the branches to keep them the same height as the left side was lifting the binds out of the soil. ppfd now at 430 highest, 420 at center and 415 at lowest - VPD steady at 1.0 using 73F/64% RH/33%IL Vent Day 39 Did 3 morning readings of ph - 6.84, 6.78, and 6.85 for an avg of 6.823(higher than yesterday's avg by .7 and 2 days before by .3 so I will continue to monitor so that I can catch it before it runs up by flushing with lower ph feed or water) She is growing as noted by the increase in height now. close to 9 inches tall here and the 8 cola tops look fairly level so I didnt do any LST or bind adjustments. But measured ppfd and got 455, 440, 435, and 425 over the 4 new growth areas. VPD still consistent at 1.0 - 73 to 76F/ 63 to 64% RH/ 33% IL Vent Brown spots are still increasing and the leaves are beginning to taco as the last ones did. New growth doesnt seem to be showing any signs yet, so fingers crossed I got it with ph. Day 40 Checked stats - PH seems to have stabilized, 3 readings 6.81, 6.84, and 6.82 for an avg of 6.823 VPD at about 1.0 with temp at 74F/63% RH/ and 33% IL Vent. PPFD was at 455, 440, 430, and 435 over each cola in same order as pictures. She is still growing so I took pictures of that progression with a tape measure. Hardwood seems to have set now as none of the branches lifted by flexibility just new growth. Still relatively flat Calcium deficiency seems to be staying on the oldest leaves with the edges now crisping enough to begin to crack on bending attempts. The newest leaves are still not showing any signs of issues. I may defoliate them tomorrow so she can have time to recover before binding the branches again once she's above 12 inches tall. ---- correction ---- Now that I have examined the new growth on a larger scale in photos, I can see the start of the issue there now too! Q!%#$ Day 41 Im going to defoliate the bad leaves and see if it progresses any further in the next 2 days and re-evaluate in 3. It's been 5 days since the wood ash treatment and the last time she's been given water. However the soil is still fairly wet since that was so close to the dunk before, so I plan to feed with nutes in a day or two to replenish more of what washed and and hope the ph was the single issue fixing the rest. Removed the other set of binds today and took front/back pictures of the leaves I took off. They were surprisingly wet even though they look crispy. There's still plenty getting to these branches as they stand tall in my hand for close to 30 minutes before finally drooping over by being cutoff. Noticed red stems making me think it might need phosphorus in that next feed Also added a modified tomato plant support to the pot to get an idea of what kind of growth Im looking for next should she still want to grow on

Everything is going smooth im trying to figure out a good nutrient mix for these ladies but all seems well I wish bountiful harvest to all Grow Diaries members and home cultivator

Crece a una velocidad increíble, semana a semana el cambio es hermoso. Más rápido que en tierra sin dudas 😊

This week we lost one of the Slurricane due to rotten root that were caused by the electricity blackout. Other plant were doing fine. Hope everything will be good until harvest.

Good week of growth. Fed twice throughout the week. Couple signs of insects but hoping it's just the few fruit flies I have in the vicinity. Also continued with LST, both plants seem to like it. Growth on Alaskan purple is slow due to the shitty Amazon light overjead I believe. Seemango has a mars hydro ts1000 overtop.

Purple Punch am 26.12.2024 Tag14 / 11.01.2025 Die Pflanze ist kompakt mit saftigen Blätter. Habe sie mir unter der Lupe angeschaut, es gibt nichts was mir Sorge bereitet.

Flowers are still stretching towards the light. Also starting to look like actual buds now all that work is starting to show. Plant is now very thirsty and drinking about 3l during lighting hours it could probably drink more every morning the pot is so light showing me that it’s drinking all of it over night I like this plant so much I started making more seeds by rooting the cuttings in soil. They will produce seeds as they will also produce pollen! Hopefully I will contain the pollen away from the main plants by keeping the pots under humidity dome

Day 36. Girl is a stretcher, will have to do something, but most damage is behind and I think next watering I'll give her food again. Couple leaves taken off, couple branches bended , thinking to put support after main stretch will be over. Happy Growing !!!

We are now in middle of week 11 and 1 plant will be ready for harvest in around 7-10 days.

Sorry, I'm a bit behind on my updates... Everything is going according to plan 💪🌿

Was actually very fun growing it. Gave me some problems since it's my first grow but all in all was pretty easy. I harvested it 2 weeks ago and today I have put them in the jars for curing. Already smoked pretty much a lot of it ahhahaha I must say I love everything from taste to smell and looks.. smooth smoke and even the dry weight was 102 and I had already smoked a week worth of bud from it before taking a reading.. didn't even care how much... Always told myself... I'm just gonna taste it ahhahahaha 😭😭👿🤤🤤 so I guess the outcome would be like about 120g maybe?.. soo happy that my girl made it to the end and soo happy with results. Thanks so much to Royal Queen Seeds !!! It was a pleasure and Green gelato is now officially the best thing I've smoked soo far. Makes me sleepy and very relaxed!! Love it. After a crappy tiring days it's was I need. And a big thanks go to Mars Hydro!(amazing quality grow tent. Love it)and also all who wished me luck and helped me out on this one. I've learned a lot. 🌲🌲🌲💪💪👿👿👿👿 Cya in my next grows.

420Fastbuds FBT2313/Week8 What up what up grow fam. Weekly update on these two frosty girls. They both are maturing nicely at the flower sites. Starting to smell super pungent. Still keeping up the same routine for the next week or two before I'll start checking trichs. All in all Happy Growing
