🍋🍒 Lemon Cherry Gelato Week 8 From Seed Week 4 Flower (12/12) The Room Is in Full Reproductive Mode ⸻ 🔁 Quick Recap — The Road to Week 4 12/12 from seed. No extended veg. Early structure built under restraint. Defoliation last week to open airflow and light pathways. And now? We are no longer initiating flowers. We are building them. Week 4 is the bridge between stretch and stacking. This is where architecture becomes yield. ⸻ 🌿 Structural Expression — Why These Girls Stand Out Lemon Cherry Gelato isn’t the tallest in the room. But structurally? Among the most dominant. Wide lateral branching. Thick stems. Uniform top distribution. Deep, lush green coloration. Post-defoliation response was extremely strong. No stall. No sulking. No nutrient imbalance signals. You wouldn’t guess they were stripped last week. That tells us: • Root system is robust. • Environmental stability is real. • Carbohydrate reserves were sufficient. • Stress recovery window was optimal. Week 4 recovery like this sets up week 6 density. ⸻ 🌡️ Environmental Analysis — High Energy, High Demand Current conditions: • Canopy temp: ~28°C • RH: ~70% • CO₂: 1000+ ppm • PPFD: 800 → 1300 µmol/m²/s This is a metabolically aggressive room. At ~28°C with enriched CO₂, plants can process higher photon density efficiently. But week 4 flower adds a new layer: Bud mass is forming. Transpiration shifts. Microclimate inside the canopy thickens. 70% RH at this density is not ideal long-term. Not panic territory — but now it’s a countdown. Over the next 7–10 days, gradual RH reduction will be necessary as stacking intensifies. Airflow and undercanopy lighting are currently preventing stagnation — and it shows. No mold indicators. No soft tissue collapse. No stress clawing. But vigilance increases from here. ⸻ 💡 Lighting Strategy — Controlled Intensity Main lighting intensity has increased with canopy height. At week 4: 1300 µmol/m²/s is high. But with CO₂ enrichment and no bleaching, they’re tolerating it. We are not chasing light for ego. We are watching leaf posture. Currently: • No tacoing. • No upper bleaching. • No stress fade. That means intensity is within metabolic capacity. ⸻ 🔦 Undercanopy Lighting — Minor Burn Explained Let’s address it clearly. One branch showed minor localized burn from undercanopy proximity. Why now in week 4? Because: • Bud mass increases reflectivity. • Leaf angle changes. • Tissue sensitivity rises during reproductive build phase. The under-light hit a close node. Symptoms: • Slight edge burn. • No necrotic spread. • No systemic reaction. Action: • Light repositioned. • Distance corrected. • Continued daily inspection. Response: She stabilized immediately. This is why daily plant handling matters. Yes, we physically take them out. Yes, it’s work. Yes, it’s worth it. ⸻ 💧 Root Zone & Feeding — Transition to Potassium Demand Soil EC: ~0.9 Watering EC: ~2.4 pH: ~6.5 Medium temp: ~22.5°C Moisture: ~94% with active dry-backs In week 4 flower, demand shifts: Nitrogen importance decreases. Potassium and phosphorus importance increase. Micronutrient balance becomes critical. Dry-back rhythm is stable. No EC stacking. No salt stress. No overwatering symptoms. They are drinking aggressively. That’s what you want entering bud expansion phase. ⸻ 🌸 Pistil Development — Now It Means Something Different In week 1, pistils signal initiation. In week 4, pistil density signals stacking potential. Right now we see: • Dense white pistil clusters. • Even site distribution. • No re-veg behavior. • No hormonal confusion. Flower genes are not just active. They are stabilized. The plant has committed to reproduction. What happens in the next 10–14 days determines final structure weight. ⸻ The Room Is Alive — But Heavier From the time-lapse frames: The room looks thicker now. More mass between nodes. Less empty space. Leaves are still praying. Stems are supporting weight confidently. No structural bending yet. We move plants daily: • Watering outside tent. • Full inspection. • Leaf repositioning. • Light proximity adjustments. This is not automation farming. This is hands-on cultivation. The room breathes. We respond. ⸻ What To Expect — Weeks 5–6 Stretch will fully slow Vertical stacking will accelerate Calyx swelling will begin RH must gradually drop Light intensity may need micro-adjustments Trichome heads will begin visible formation This is density window opening. ⸻ 🚫 What Not To Expect No dramatic fade yet No final terpene expression No harvest timing predictions No heavy amber trichomes We are mid-race. ⸻ 🙏 Gratitude — Because This Is Shared To GrowDiaries — for hosting the documentation. To the GD community — the observers and the critics. To Discord — Dogs University — where we break things down deeper. To Instagram — the visual storytellers. To sponsors — past and present. To the OG followers. To the new ones. To the lovers. To the skeptics. To the haters. Everyone shapes the process. Growth is friction plus intention. And Lemon Cherry Gelato, week 4 flower? She’s not promising. She’s delivering. 📡 DELETED @ 1K Please stay tuned.we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@DOGDOGTHEDOCTOR NEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.

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.

1/12: impatiently waiting for lemon auto to finish up. Still not sure what the northern lights is trying to do, but..the little buds are slowly growing. S l o w l y... 1/14: things are getting out of hand in here. Northern lights is bushy AF again but the budlets appear to be increasing in size. Lemon is getting closer every day. Looks like I've got milky trichomes and the pistils are darkening. Still a bit early, but I'd be lying if I wasn't anxious for the space.. 1/15: I've accepted that I have at least a week ish left on Lemon auto,but she's getting there! I did some rather risky defoliation on northern lights and holy shit, she's got potential. I'm hoping she's just a slow grower and those buds will really fatten up! Perhaps lemon is just a really fast growing plant? I've also decided that since space is limited, my best bet is to probably rotate the plants every other day to allow all bid sites an opportunity for direct light. I'm reigning myself in. Once lemon auto is harvested I need to NOT immediately plant another. I've got some mephosito seeds I want to get going, but I've learned my lesson. This tent fits two 5 gallon mature plants... Uncomfortably. Three is too many 😂 1/17: wondering if northern lights has is it her to fatten up. Gave her a good flush &feed. Popcorn buds or not, I'm invested (#forscience). Lemon auto is still finishing up. Can't get good enough pics with phone to see trichomes. Clearly, I have a minimum of a week left, but I got a digital microscope so I can keep track! Should be here for next update.

Less is more. Lesson learned. Without training these plants, having the fifth plant has really cramped the tent. Because I have limited space for the tent, access into the sides isn't possible. I have only the front entrance. Next time I think I will stick yo maybe three strains that have been positive and try and find the time to train more. The WOS-Northern/Skunk has grown out so nicely into a Xmas tree type of posture. She is making her really good friends with her neighbours, perhaps to their detriment. Seedsman Blueberry continues to be solid and unphased by anything. This is the first time I have smelled a plant that has such a fruity aroma. It really took me aback in surprise. Very cool. HiFi 4G needs support. Did a McGyver solution for the time being. Doesn't appear to have bulked up much this week. Jack is about the same. A bit of bulk up but not expecting this one to be a big yielder. Appears healthy overall so I'm happy. CBD+ bulked up for sure on the main cola's. I'm skeptical she will be done at 60 days at this point....but have to trust what Dinafem are telling me. Be safe folks.

SONG OF THE WEEK: Eminem - Kamikaze ------ Day 9 - The 2 girls are doing good 🌱 , they already pushing the 3rd node and they got a nice green colour. The Gp#1 is the most vigorous one 💪 , her roots are already at the bottom of the pot : it is the sign that she need to be transplanted asap so it will be done on day 10. The Gp#2 is good too but she got a genetic issue as the 3rd node is in fact a "mono-leaves" 😲 as the 2 leaves are link together like siamese sisters 🤔: weird but the 2nd node is already pushing secondary stems so I will probably have to top her 😢 ------- Day 11 - Today I put them in 3L pots , I know that autos prefer to be planted in their final pots but I will do another pot switch to their final 13L pots. Happy Growing y'all ! You can also check my others Sweet seeds current diaries with a Gorilla Girl & An Indigo Berry Kush 😎

Day 8. All good, girls are ok, just i strugle to keep moistering them properly, work takes too much time away .. Next watering will bring in BioBizz Root Juice. Happy growing ! Day 9. Slowly, but girls grow, watering tomorrow with first dose of Root Juice. Should start to kick in ;) Day 10. First nutes planted ;)) in next feed i will bring in couple more players, this time only 1ml/l Root Juice. Ph 6.5 Moisture moisture moisture ;) Day 13. So many things ... One gorilla went selftoping, dont know what to do ??? And i need reasons .. My quess is A. Wind damage, she was closiest to fan. B. Water spray too intense C. Light burn with spray combined I followed my ussual stuff, never had such mutation, had buds on leaves, had triple tops, had branches from leaves even, but they all had new grows, this one has only two leaves .. And this was the biggest bean and she looked fine till day 11, wanted even to show how bean size matters, but now all is gone, should i top her, or leave that natural mainlining ?? When i spray her, two top leaves fall down and lower nods new grow is exposed, so lst her like this ? Please help !!! Other 3 gorillas looks really ok, smallish, but ok. Cookies grow funky aswell, looks like two days behind gorillas. Thought to give them first nutes, but now i will wait a bit ... Started rotating girls every day.
