Medium: Yep - still gonna beat on the DWC drum. It just gets better and easier every run. Almost religiously changed out the res. every week and this was definitely overkill. Could’ve easily gotten away with every 10 days to 2 weeks. Stuck with peroxide this run again instead of going with bennies via hydroguard or hygrozyme. The results speak for themselves on a 6 week veg. That’s for sure. Still save’n them dolla bills on the nutes too. Minimal nute mixing (as well as simplistic regime) and for what we’re using in each res. - gotta be easily a 50-60% savings on nute consumption vs. more traditional methods. Honestly makes one wonder why organic soil grows are seemingly all the rage. I’ve found terp. Profiles, structure, plant health and of course yields to all be just that much better in straight water. What more can I say, we love our DWC. Method 🎚️🎚️🎚️ The dueling methods were the whole point of this grow. Our best attempt to illustrate the differences between LST vs. LST/Topping ie. just how significant is the difference in terms of overall production? The truth of this test is a bit of a double edged sword. On the one hand, topping does have a significant effect on overall yield. This fact is regardless of whether or not from seed or clone.That said and when it comes to clones, you still have to be mindful of the drawbacks of further dividing (and thus reducing nug size for) main branches. Our topped clone #2 is a perfect example of this. While the structure demonstrates significantly more branching, the nug sizes are also significantly smaller. As you’ll see in the yield details it does somewhat make up for this through a higher overall weight but it was also a much less manageable plant than #1. Root mass on the topped plant was heavier and bulkier, drinking much more water than its counterpart. And in late flower half the plant was pretty much falling over. While some of this is attributable to the extremely hollow stems (and thus a carbon deficiency), making the most of the grow light proved difficult with the topped plant as bushy as it was. Basic summary - if ur cloning for profit or efficiency, stick with straight LST and grow a whole bunch of em. If I had to do it again I don’t think i would’ve bothered with topping - just for the sake of greater ease🤔🤔🤔. Then again, I’m greedy as fuck when it comes to my yields so I Could totally see myself trying to max everything out and go for broke🤙🤙. 3/5 volume bars for the rating - we accomplished what we were trying to. Yield/Harvest🌴🌴🌴🌴 Awwwwwe yeah - down to where it counts and these girls were champs💪. While internodal spacing was longer than necessary and overall bud size was smaller than average; these plants pushed out some solid weight👍😎👍. Ran er through a 7 day dry and all jarred up on a slow cure. Final numbers: Total yield - clone #1: 5.14oz = 143.92g Total yield - clone #2: 6.01oz = 168.28g Approx. est. yield: 600g/m2 divides by 4.8, multiplied by 2 (approx. for 2/3 the cabinets sq/ft) = 250g per 0.41m2 Actual yield: 11.15oz. per 0.41m2 = 312.2g per 0.41m2. That is some seriously good production right there😎👍😎. The high end avg. for this strain is 650g/m2. When you crush that out to my space and the numbers above, it works to about 270g per 0.41m2. Our actual yield still destroys the high end avg. by almost a zip and a half👍👍👍. The cree cob does it again. Fuck’n jazz hands y’all🙌! With results like these you could really give the whole grow a 9/10. It’s only an 8 in my book because it’s not my preferred high. Otherwise, any time you’re north of 5+ oz. per plant, it’s a good day at the office👍👍. Props👊👊👊 No choice but to shoutout Humboldt genetics. These beans have treated me so well and I can’t say enough Good things about the strains this organization puts out👌👍👌. Other than that, thanks to everyone who dropped by for a look and a comment. The convos always good and of course - any questions or enlightened conversation are welcome. Every time I try to take a break from documenting a grow, I end up growing something worth documenting. If your as high as I am right now, you should still be trying to figure out that last sentence.... stay lit y’all. See ya soon on the next one👊👊👊.

They grow up so fast , my ladies are at 12 inches tall coming into week 3. I feed them 1 a week with a low solution of neuts and I will continue to increase every week until at max before they burn. As I go into buding I slowly introduce the flowering neuts and increase slowly until last 2 weeks before harvest. This system seem to make them excell nicely and grow at an amazing rate.

Had to cut some top buds due to getting crispy from the light - no bueno. The rest of the buds are all good. This is the end of the grow I don't have any more content unfortunately. I have plans for some amazing grows soon with living soil! :) Total harvest from this one was 1683g.

2/26 to 3/03 Veg Days 8 to 14 Week 2 Not much to talk about here. They took to the soil as expected with no issues. Feed this week was 2 cups of 6.3ph RO water twice with 4 days between and 4 days after the last feed. Feed plan next week will increase the amounts to 2.5 cups of plain-no-nute water with about 4 days between feeds. I still want to see the water run through, so if I need to use more than 2.5 cups I will. The idea is to water deep and through, but then make them search for more before the next feed, hopefuly spreading the roots out while doing it.

_______________________________________________________________________ Nun, mit 20-30g pro Pflanze habe ich mich dann ja wohl doch etwas verschätzt. Es sind ziemlich genau 62g pro Pflanze an Trocken-Ertrag bei rum gekommen. Leider habe ich vergessen nach der Ernte das Nassgesicht zu prüfen. Insgesamt ist unser aller erster grow für mein Verständnis gut bis sehr gut gelaufen. Mit 124G trocken Ernte kann sich das auf jeden Fall sehen lasen. Bin super happy. Dazu kommt noch der Grow von meinem Bruder. Hier kam insgesamt etwas weniger aber dennoch gute 110G bei rum. Damit hätten wir ein gut, bis sehr gutes Gramm pro Watt Verhältnis von von 1,17 g/W. Mit 4 Pflanzen, wenn ich das richtig verstanden hab. Und wenn ich nur meine 2 Pflanzen auf einem halben m² mit der halben Leistung der Lampe von 100w rechnen würde. Hätte ich ein noch besseres Verhältnis von sehr guten 1,24 g/W. Dazu haben wir von beiden Sorten noch ordentlich Verschnitt mit überaus Trichomreichen Suggerleafs. Der Grow lief für uns eigentlich sehr sehr chillig. Nur das Wetter war unser Feind. Wir hatten bis jetzt einen eher ungünstigen, wechselhaften Sommer. Teilweise bis zu 33° und 85% Luftfeuchtigkeit während der Trocknung. Dann wiederum auch Tage oder nächte wo es wieder auf 22° runterfällt. In den GroveBags zeigen die Hygrometer nach 2 Tagen immer noch nur etwa 53% an. Das heißt wir konnten die Bedingungen nie optimal halten und es ist etwas zu trocken. Gott sei Dank hatten wir aber weder Probleme mit Schimmel oder Schädlingen. Man kann beide Sorten jetzt schon prima im Joint oder in der Bong rauchen. Es ist weder kratzig noch schmeckt es irgendwie komisch. Im Gegenteil. Mal schauen wie es nach dem Curen aussieht. Zur Honey Peach Auto CBD von meinem Bruder: Mein Bruder hat keinerlei Training betrieben. Nur sehr viel entlaubt. Die beiden Pflanzen haben sich sehr unterschieden. Aber beide haben sehr fluffige Buds produziert. Die Wirkung ist eher milder und lässt einen Produktiv und Kreativ werden ohne super high zus ein. Jetzt nach dem Trocknen reicht es eher Erdig mit ein Paar fruchtigen Noten. Zu meinen +Speed Auto: Ich habe nur LST angewendet. Und dazu mehrmals entlaubt. Abgesehen davon das eine der beiden etwas größer wurde haben sich beide ziemlich gleich entwickelt. Die Buds bei beiden Pflanzen sind sehr homogen und gleichbleibend gut, egal ob Headbud oder nicht. Die Wirkung ist sehr ausgeglichen und stark genug um stunden high zu bleiben ohne abzuheben. Der Geruch ist zimlich intensiv,sehr zitronig mit einem erdigen abgang. ----Nachtrag nach dem Curen---- Nach dem der Ertrag 2 Wochen in den GroveBags Curen konnten sin dsie wie erwartet etwas "Steiniger". Riechen tuts wie am Tag der Ernte und erfüllt den ganzen Raum. Auch eher klassisch im Geruch. Das High ist stark und ist sehr ausgeglichen zu Körper und Geist. Ohne dabei abzuheben oder down zu gehen. Meine Headbuds sind zwar nicht die größten, aber im Vergleich gibt es sicher viele die weniger Glück hatten. Wer eine kleinwüchsige, ertragreiche, robuste und relativ schnellwachsende Genetik sucht, ist hier richtig. _________________________________________________________________________

🌱 Growtagebuch – Woche 11 🌱 "Woche 11 und die Ernte der Apple Strudel Auto stehen an. 🏁 Aufgrund von 5-Liter-Töpfen und Fimming-Experimenten in einem 60x60x140 cm Zelt fiel der Ertrag mit knapp 24 Gramm eher gering aus. 📉 Die Ernte hätte bereits in Woche 9 oder 10 stattfinden können, wurde jedoch bewusst hinausgezögert, um eine bernsteinfarbene Trichomentwicklung zu erreichen. ⏳ Dafür überzeugt die Qualität der Buds auf ganzer Linie. ✨ Sie duften intensiv nach Apfel und die Wirkung ist relativ ausgewogen. leicht Indica-dominant. 🍎😴 Qualitativ ein sehr gutes, quantitativ jedoch eher bescheidenes Ergebnis. ⚖️" Ähnlich der anderen bieden Pflanzen...

🌸 Week 6 Flower – Gelonade Diaries The Gelonade girls continue their elegant dance into flower, both Pheno #1 and Pheno #2 shining in their own unique way. Their structures remain remarkably similar, tall, strong, and full of energy, while each holds onto her own personality, expressed in leaf form and flower shape. This week we noticed a few small spots on the leaves. Nothing dramatic, nothing to sound alarms about, but enough to remind us that plants, like people, sometimes whisper when they need something. It could be calcium, it could be another minor imbalance, but the key is observation. We’ll keep a close eye, watching for patterns, listening to what the girls want to tell us, and adjusting gently if needed. 🌱 Quick Recap (For Those Just Joining) From the start, this run has been about detail and care. • Germination was clean and quick, the girls leaping from seed into life. • Veg was marked by strong branching, healthy leaves, and the unforgettable funky unicorn foliage of Pheno #2. • Transplanting into super soil and fabric pots gave them the room to spread their roots and breathe. • The shift into flower was smooth, guided by careful lighting, steady feeding, and a balance of Aptus and Plagron nutrients. • Weeks 4 and 5 saw sativa-like stretch, white hairs bursting across every cola, and canopy lights filling every corner with photons. Now here we are in Week 6: the garden maturing, the flowers stacking, the personality of the genetics truly revealing itself. 💧 Feeding & Balance The recipe continues to revolve around Aptus Regulator, CalMag Boost, Top Booster, and Plagron’s Power Buds, Sugar Royal, and Green Sensation, with Aptus All-In-One Liquid helping tie the orchestra together. We’re keeping EC balanced, always mindful that the soil already provides a strong foundation. 💡 What’s Happening & What’s Next This week is all about observation. Flowers are swelling, resin begins to sparkle in early traces, and aromas start to hint at what’s to come. What to expect: denser buds, richer pistil coloration, and a canopy that will soon demand defoliation for airflow. What not to expect: miracles overnight. This is the stage of patience, where the magic brews quietly within each calyx. 💚 Closing Thought The Gelonades remind us that growth is rarely flawless. A spot on a leaf is not a failure, but a message. Perfection isn’t the goal, balance is. And balance is exactly what these girls are showing us week after week. May the flowers swell with grace, may the leaves whisper their truths, and may the grower’s patience be rewarded in full bloom. PS: Understanding Foxtailing One of the girls, our Pheno #2, is starting to show signs of foxtailing. For those new to the term, foxtailing refers to when buds grow in elongated, irregular patterns instead of stacking neatly into the dense, conical shape we often expect. The result is a flower that looks “spiky” or “funky,” almost as though the plant is growing multiple little towers from a single cola. Why does this happen? There are two main sides to the story: • Genetic Foxtailing: Some strains naturally express this trait, especially sativa-leaning hybrids. In this case, foxtailing is simply part of the plant’s personality, often leading to extra surface area for resin glands, which can even mean more trichomes and aromas. • Environmental Foxtailing: Stress factors can also trigger it — high heat, intense light (too much PPFD), or shifts in feeding can encourage buds to keep stacking in odd ways rather than finishing their round formation. In our case, the temperatures have sometimes pushed higher than ideal, and the lights are running strong, so those factors might play a role. But genetics also carry a heavy influence, and Gelonade — being sativa-leaning, can naturally lean toward these elongated flower expressions. Is foxtailing a problem? Not at all. While it can look unusual compared to the “textbook” cola shape, it doesn’t reduce quality. In fact, it can increase flower mass and surface resin coverage, giving us more material and potentially more complex aesthetics. Some growers even treasure it as a unique expression of their plant’s individuality. So while Pheno #2 may look a little funky, we see it as a gift, more fruit, more character, more story to tell. This is the garden’s way of reminding us that beauty doesn’t always fit a mold, and that variation is part of the magic of growing. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.
