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.

You are back, we are so happy that you have no life just like me. Thank you for Zamnesia and Plagron for giving me this life tonight and making me feel productive, talking of productive if you want your plants to be more so then give them a visit. Now on with your next episode of "TFTC: The Experiment". {--💩===👻---💀===👽---[:(⚪⬜🔺) oO===Oo (🔺⬜⚪):]---👽===💀---👻===💩---} The whole bending the plants to create an even canopy is looking messy, but from looking at the plants that the biologist did this to, I realize that this is just how it looks, that they turn into little bushes, very cool. The three plants are growing quickly, keeping on top of their training takes a lot of effort. THe people were in a flurry of activity this week, lots of things were being done and it looked like there was some great progress. Having done the groundwork we now had a solid foundation to build from, there were a few storage areas and a barn that was built, the planting was under way and the community was thriving, there were issues however. The main complaint was over food, people now had enough space as we spent most of the day outside and only came in for equipment, food or sleep. After listening to everyone's complaints growing louder and more frequent, we decided to send out a party of people to forage for fresh food, anything that would make mealtimes more interesting. Another seven people were sent out including myself, we used the map I had drawn up to plan a route through areas most likely to contain things like mushrooms, tubers, and early herbs and berries. The world at this point thrived with spring activity, we found spring mushrooms, a few tubers and wild garlic that was forming large leaves on part of the forest floor. That night there was a celebration, people were soo excited for a change in food that it became like christmas for everyone, a massive mushroom stew was made using some of the dried ingredients and most importantly, fresh garlic. It was delicious, the fact that we had been working so hard to get the community going and surviving on nutritional pulp for the last month meant everyone was ready for the change in diet, it had a noticeable effect on people. The next day people went to their tasks with renewed vigour, they built, planted and planned with increased energy, we even continued to send out small groups to forage and maintain a stream of fresh foods to help our nutrition and mood. Watching my plants I realized that they might need something similar, they are in the tent now and thriving, yet they might need something to help in the new growth, so it was time to start using the nutrients that the guide had said for when the plants went into flower. After the first few fertigation's (I am learning fancy new words), some burning was appearing on leaf tips, maybe this is plant overeating, so I will experiment and look for the signs to tell me where the sweet spot is. It appeared important for the plants to have the right environment for optimum growth, much like people, they needed to have the right things round them so that they would survive and thrive, if we had opened the bunker door to a desert I am sure that people would not be as eager to be outside, or as eager to try and get the community running, in fact, one way or another it likely would have meant our death. I retired that night, wondering on the need for environmental conditions sustain any form of life, nothing can live in a place that is completely hostile unless an environment was created for them. SO I lay down in my Stasis chamber, away from everyone, just the bodies still down here… we should bury them soon. My thoughts on environmental design helped me drift off to sleep. {--💩===👻---💀===👽---[:(⚪⬜🔺) oO===Oo (🔺⬜⚪):]---👽===💀---👻===💩---} Still here? Good, let me tell you about our wonderful competition organisers Plagron and Zamnesia, they are wonderful. On to the next episode. I should have been a hand model, for farmers weekly or person wish smashed up hands magazine. There are a umber of photos missing, yeah you all know why.

Day 43 does some bottom leaves trimming. Day 46. Watering with 2.5L nutrients mix.

The strain is easy to grow and maintain. It's rewarding too! We ended with a lot of buds which we cant wait to weigh and taste. During the veg we kept steady ph of 5.8, and we lower it to 5.5 during the flowering. We were gaving medium dosages of nutrients and we didnt pushed the EC more than 2.2. Comments for taste and the high itself, will be given later on.

Everything seems to be going great! She's developing very fast and looks very good,no problems at the moment,let's see how big she gets before flowering starts we're not very far away from that,I'm enjoying a lot growing her,she's an excellent genetic she's being fed just like every single plant that I grow full organically with mycorrizae by florians living organics bat guano by guanokalong,seaweed powder,lactobacillus microorganisms and love,peace guys ❤️💛💚🌱

Hello Growers 🙏🏿 Start of week 4 Day 22 - placed the plants with the lowest hight on some books, so they all get the even amount of light -noticing that that plants slowly touch the back and side walls of the tent , Day 23 -they had 30 h of light with no sleep, and now the flower phase begin -start of 12-12 cycle -bottom leaves start to fall off Day 24 - forgot to turn the van on... almost everything was wet after the night -first day of 12-12 they liked it... start to see growth in height - had to adjust the height of the lights Day 25 -added some soil, cause some roots were watching out of the soil - removed all baby leaves , and most of the row above - gave them each 1,5-1,7l after 1 h after waking up - noticing huge stretch in height every day, need to adjust the light almost daily If u notice something or have any tips for me that might help, please let me know !

Hello, fellow growers! I’m happy to share with you the progress of my plants. This is my first grow and I’m amazed by the beauty of these plants that I’ve only seen in pictures before. The plants have grown a lot in the past weeks and they are almost done stretching. They have been stable for a day now and I don’t expect them to get much taller. They are looking healthy and green, with no signs of pests or diseases. However, I did find some fungus gnats on the fly traps that I set up as a precaution. To get rid of them, I watered the plants with nematodes and adjusted the pH level of the water. I think this should solve the problem and prevent any damage to the roots. I’m planning to resume my normal feeding schedule in two days. I’m using organic nutrients and following the manufacturer’s instructions. I want to give the plants enough food to support their flowering stage, which is about to start soon. I can already see some tiny orange hairs on the buds, which means they are ready to bloom. I’m very excited to see how they will develop in the next weeks and what kind of aromas and flavors they will produce. I’m hoping for some big and dense buds with lots of resin. That’s all for this week. Feel free to leave a comment or a question below. Happy growing!

Dane, We all should help one another. Human beings are like that. We should live by each other’s happiness - not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another, share the Joint. And mother earth is rich and can provide for everyone. We can Grow enough Happiness, In this paradise, there is room for everyone. We only exist to bring joy into the world and The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way. Grow High and Give the world A smile. At the end we own nothing more then all our memories, lets make them amazing for everyone, nothing to loose only everything to win. A last kiss goodby, a second one, softer and long as a sign, that you are woth it. That Everyone worth who loved and give. Enought Hippie Talk, now have a nice day and an even better grow, thx for watching by. ((From Seed 🌱 week report: i love the "banana split" in the leafes

Flower Week 4 Day 28 to 34 - 3/12 to 3/18 Just monitoring now. All seems okay so far, just a few minor adjustments of the rings Feed this week was 1.25 gallons two times with about 4 days between. 750ppm total before add-ins. I used 750ppm Bloom concentrate mix (recipe week 5). However, I also added 1ml/gal of CaliMagic (General Hydroponics 1-0-0) to all feeds. PH balance this week was 6.5. I plan to feed the same amounts again next week and 6.5ph and 6.6 by week 7, when I also plan to start flushing with reduced nutes and HP2 again.

Привет друзья. Моей растихе сегодня 60 дней. Начал применять LST технику на 19 дне и продалжаю применять её через день, а 18 августа добавил ДЕФОЛИЗАЦИЮ С 20.08 ДЕФОЛИЗАЦИЮ делаю каждые 3,4 дня С 20.08 LST технику делаю каждые 4.6 дней На сегодняшний день влажность 60% 15 дней назад заметил высокий Ph 7.9 С 48 дня Ph не ниже 5.8 На сегодняшний день Ph 6.0 Начал кормить с 60 дня Canna Terra Vega PPM 550 Погладитель влажности, выполняет свои функции. Посмотрю на динамику. Всем мира и добра! https://t.me/smail_seeds #Smail_Seeds

Plants are doing well. Watering roughly once weekly continues to be the current schedule. In this week's watering (week 6, Thursday), a nutrient mix was added (19% Nitrogen, 5% Phosphate, 20% K2O). pH was measured (via the runoff/drainage water collected) on all three plants using a pH probe, of which was measured to be slightly acidic for all plants (exact pH numbers above in the photo descriptions). We are aiming for a pH range of 6.0-7.0, so in next week's watering, we will add a buffer solution to alkalize the soil. All three plants lower branches were also pruned.

This plant has been a joy to grow, she’s super frosty and fairly dense. I’ve trimmed and put in jars to cure. Not tried yet will give another week in jar then try a wake and bake with it.

Hello! That's what always makes me happy when you need it faster - it blooms faster. The neighbor began to outstrip the growth, I had to break the branches a little, now both bushes are about the same height. While everything is ok, we continue the flight😎 Glory to Ukraine! 🇺🇦 Stay connected and take care of yourself! 🙏

2te Woche beginnt. Bisher läuft es glaube recht gut … Die kleinen wachsen brav … Habe mal 2 weitere Nutrients hinzugefügt und Versuche den VPD Wert irgendwie konstant zuhalten 🙈👍 Dank 4 Blumat Classic pro Topf reicht ab und zu bisschen sprühen aus dem Befeuchter… heute das erste mal die kleine Pflanze abgedeckt und ganz leicht von oben die trockene Erde mit den neuen Nutrients zusätzlich befeuchtet. Mal schauen was sie so bewirken …

Day 1, Week 4 of Flower – Things Are Getting Real We’ve officially hit day 1 of week 4 in flower, and it’s starting to get real in here! Buds are growing fast, stacking up nicely, and the aromas are straight fire — it's getting stinky in the best way. The terps are really coming through now. PPMs are sitting steady at around 1000, pH is hovering around 5.8, and everything’s been pretty dialed in on the feed side. I do wish I had defoliated a lot more before flipping. Honestly, my whole training kind of went sideways when I switched to flower. I went a little too hard with the LST, and now I’ve got a jungle of leaves with loads of bud sites — way more than I expected. It looks like a big bushy mess up top with some nice buds, but quite a few lowers aren’t getting the light they need. I’ve said this before, but I won’t say it again — lesson learned. Next round, I know exactly how I’m going to approach training, and I won’t be making the same mistakes. But all in all, things are still looking good. If everything keeps going as it is, I’m hoping to pull around 7 ounces of some solid, dank smoke
