100% germination rate, they popped really quick. Threw them in the tent 1st December - Light is currently on ~70% as they would be getting too cold if I get lower. 4.12 : 5/6 broke the surface one Zerberry is missing but will surely follow the next days. 7.12 : all on surface right on track. Stay tuned!

Starting to get some nice frosty flowers. The cycling UVB has really made the terps start early. Regular tea and water regimen and weekly nutes. I plan to add another layer of topsoil with nutes next week. Humidity control has been a slight issue. After watering I am typically hitting 80 - 85 rH - so will need to watch this. I could open the grow room door to reduce the rH but then I lose the CO2 buildup. Will stay the course for now. Plant #1 - Purple baby! This one has started to show some purple on the new inner leaves next to the new flowering sites. I am super stoked that one of the IX plants turned out to be a purple pheno. Just wish both did. Plant #2 - Flowering well considering it was behind all of the others. It doesn't have the purple pheno like its sister. Maybe it will still turn but not looking like it for now.

16.2 inches/week Usual summer week here in the south, every day above 86 ° F (max 100 ° F) Pineapple is beast, can tolerate everything and is grown almost 2 inches per day drinking 2 gallons per day of spring water showing only few signs of heat stress. She's in full stretch and had fill every spaces with her thick branches . I fed her half the recommended dose of Biobizz Grow 'cause is too hot and don't want to burn her. I think we are 10-14 days before flowering. I covered her with a PVC net in order to give her a little shield from the sun and give me more privacy ;-)

Week 3 Veg – Transplant Time, System Prep & Roots in Focus Strain: Gelonade Grower: Dogdoctor Type: Feminized Environment: Indoor Tent | LEDs | Dual Controlled Airflow ⸻ 🌱 Overview This week marked a key transition in the Gelonade grow: Transplant into final 11L fabric pots, Environmental tuning, TrolMaster ecosystem preparation, … and most of all: the official selection of the two chosen phenos that will move forward into flower. The girls are thriving. Roots are looking stunning. Leaves are proud and full. The journey deepens, and we’re ready. ⸻ 🌿 Selected Phenotypes After careful observation, Gelonade #1 and Gelonade #2 were chosen as the lead phenos for the full grow journey. Both exhibited: • Strong early structure • Balanced leaf symmetry • Vigor and resilience in early veg • Root density and color that promised excellent transplant response All three looked beautiful, but these two earned the spotlight. ✨ ⸻ Soil Mix & Nutrient Support We prepared a specialized super soil mix enriched with high-quality biological amendments from Aptus Holland to give the girls everything they need for explosive veg. Transplant Mix: • Super soil base • Aptus Mycor-Mix – to inoculate roots with beneficial mycorrhizae for symbiotic nutrient exchange • Aptus Micro-Mix – full-spectrum microbes and bacteria to build a thriving root biome • Aptus Substrate Buffer Powder – stabilizes pH, locks in ideal nutrient availability 💧 Feed Mix (per liter of water): • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml: Cellular armor, nutrient flow, anti-stress shield • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml: For foundational frame building • Aptus All-In-One Liquid – 1 ml: Core NPK and micro blend • Aptus Start Booster – 2 ml: Encourages new root branching and initial canopy formation 🌊 Water Stats: • pH: 5.83 • EC: 1.01 • Water Temp: 18.5°C ⸻ Fabric Pots – Why We Use Them The girls were transplanted into 11-liter Amnesia fabric pots. Why fabric? • Air pruning: As roots reach the edges, they hit air, which stops circular binding and encourages lateral branching. • Oxygenation: Roots receive more oxygen through the breathable fabric, boosting metabolism. • Drainage: No soggy bottoms here. Fabric pots keep your medium airy and prevent overwatering issues. These are the final pots — no further transplants will be done. From here, the girls can stretch, root, and build freely. ⸻ Airflow & Filtration A strong root system needs strong air too. This week we’ve been dialing in our environment with dual extractor/intake systems: 🌀 Airflow Setup: • 2x 6-inch extractors: • TrolMaster Aerofan 6” – controlled by the TrolMaster system • Spider Farmer 6” – managed by the GGS controller • 1x 6-inch intake fan with carbon filter 🌫️ Why Carbon Filters (Even Early On)? • Odor control is obvious — but more than that, they filter airborne particles, spores, and contaminants, keeping air pure and clean, even during early veg. • Healthy air = happy leaves = fast growth. ⸻ 🔧 TrolMaster Ecosystem – Automation Incoming While everything is still being hand-watered, we’re preparing to connect the full grow to the TrolMaster system: • Environmental control (humidity, temp, VPD) • Light cycle syncing • Fan response automation • Future irrigation control for specific zones Not all plants will be automated, we’re keeping some fully manual to compare growth responses. That’s the Dogdoctor way: grow, observe, experiment, evolve. ⸻ 📸 Media & Studio Time The girls were looking so stunning, we took them into the studio for a proper photoshoot. These are living models — vibrant, proud, and photogenic. Likely we’ll do another shoot next week, before they get too large to safely move. Expect high-gloss glamour and leaf-candy content. ⸻ 🌿 What to Expect (and Not) After Transplant ✅ Expect: • Slight temporary slowdown (1–2 days max) • New root tips forming within 48–72 hours • Visible growth surge as roots expand into fresh soil • Fuller, wider leaf spacing ❌ Don’t Expect (yet): • Explosive top growth right away — they’ll focus on the roots first • Stretching — we’re still under strong LEDs with great internodal control Let the roots build the temple, and the temple will grow. ⸻ 📊 Environmental Conditions • Room Temp: 27°C • Humidity: 57.4% • CO₂: 632 ppm • Lighting: Future of Grow Black Series 600 LED • Delivering full-spectrum brilliance — tight internodes, deep greens, and radiant health. ⸻ 💬 Final Thoughts Transplant week is always a sacred moment in a grow, a rite of passage from childhood to adolescence. The Gelonade girls are ready. Their roots are strong, their stems are proud, and their leaves are glowing with promise. This week was a blend of precision and love, preparing systems, mixing soil by hand, and honoring the natural rhythm of growth. From here on out, it’s about watching, adjusting, and letting nature lead. Let’s grow something unforgettable.

Día 69 (25/03) Su hermana Gorilla Cookies FF muestra una ligera necrosis... me preocupa... Día 70 (26/03) Necrosis en Gorilla Cookies muy avanzada en solo 2 días. Hablo con el gran @dogdoctorofficial y me hace ver que estoy regando mal... He dejado que se seque demasiado el sustrato! (como en la fase vegetativa) Y la Gorilla Cookies FF al ser la planta más grande y que más agua pide, está demasiado sedienta... Voy a modificar los patrones de riego para que el problema no persista en Gorilla Cookies FF ni aparezca en las otras plantas! Riego 0,5 Litro H20 sin nutrientes. TDS 225 PPMs - pH 6,6 Día 71 (27/03) Riego 1,25 Litro H20 + Wholly Base 3 ml/l + Solid Green 1,75 ml/l + Early Flower 0,75 ml/l + Big Bloom 1,5 ml/l de Gen1:11 TDS 1150 PPMs - pH 6,2 Día 72 (28/03) La necrosis en Gorilla Cookies FF se ha detenido 😁 y las flores siguen creciendo Observa alguna mancha de necrosis también en Wedding Cheesecake FF y decido a subir un poco la lámpara Ahora el PPFD en apical es de unos 830 PPFD Día 73 (29/03) Riego 0,5 Litro H20 sin nutrientes. TDS 225 PPMs - pH 6,6 Día 74 (30/03) Riego 1,25 Litro H20 + Wholly Base 3 ml/l + Solid Green 1,75 ml/l + Early Flower 0,75 ml/l + Big Bloom 1,5 ml/l de Gen1:11 TDS 1150 PPMs - pH 6,2 Día 75 (31/03) Detecto una ligera necrosis en Purple Lemonade FF y en Wedding Cheesecake FF. Voy a aumentar un poco la distancia de la lámpara para tener un DLI de 37, por si fuese estrés por luz. 💦Nutrients by Gen1:11 - www.genoneeleven.com 🌱Substrate PRO-MIX HP BACILLUS + MYCORRHIZAE - www.pthorticulture.com/en/products/pro-mix-hp-biostimulant-plus-mycorrhizae

I put the plants into an NFT system couple weeks ago. I could have waited a bit longer for the plants to develop a stronger root system before placing the rockwool cubes into NFT but I was being impatient because of the slow start and wanted to get the plants under proper light. Now two weeks later they are growing well with good root development. I switched the lights to flowering cycle about a week ago so they should start stretching soon. No preflowers yet.

Such an amazing smell of this lady and its only going to get better. Nice stacking going on and the colas appear fatter than the other strains in the tent. Nice and frosty too. She got little to no training, instead she was topped twice. The smell though! Droool!

I think this bud is gonna be RICH!!!! ____________________________________________________ Defoliated the little guy, it should help. I'm just sorta holding in this "flower" feed.

Perfect. Now when to harvest? Seeing about 20 percent amber in some buds. Others are still only cloudy. The beginning of week 8 starts in 4 days. But I transitioned to flowering lighting over the course of a week. So maybe tomorrow. maybe the next day too. As soon as I see more than 30 percent amber trichomes on main colas(all of them) I will harvest. Ripening buds are a true beauty. Damn these are a sight to behold. This is my second grow. I learned a lot. I love it. So smelly I just can't believe it. Tried to take a trichome pick. Still maybe 15 percent amber color starting to appear

The nuggets are very sticky and compact, they are frosty as hell and the aroma is very strong already. I loved this strain. She's such an amazing autoflowering strain. Very powerful.

26.4.25: The plants were watered with 3 ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3, containing the following nutrients:- ♡ 1/2 Tsp Sea K(elp) by Greenleaf nutrients ♡ 1/4 Tsp Ecothrive Biosys. 27.4.25: I LST'd again by adjusting the tie downs. For FastBuds Mystery seed auto #1 and RQS Northern Lights autoflower, this will probably be the last time I adjust the fabric ties, as they're now well in to flower. Hulkberry was LST'd again today, She is looking absolutely beautiful 😍 Retied some branches down and added a couple of clips. Keeping the canopy as even as possible. 29.4.25: HulkBerry is looking great. Nice green colour, without being too dark. The plant has taken well to the LST training. It doesn't need adjusting much at the moment as the growth hasn't become crazy, just now. I think next week we will be in to flower, she has 1 pistil on the lower branch. 😅 Nb: I have added this week a couple days earlier, as last week was a couple days late, trying to get back on schedule 😅 Thanks for checking my diary and hanging out 💚✌️🍃😊🌱

She is starting to getting fat, at the begginning of this week, it was raining, but in the middle of the week, sunny days are appearing, and she is loving it, drastically increased eating levels, in 1-2 days, lower leaves started to yellow, but i noticed soon and gave a good dose with 4ml/l Top BLoom + some carbohydrates, Top Candy 2ml/l, and now she is lovin it. That purple colours appearing...no words... Simply a blessing, even more beautiful :D Last videos are about what i think are Chemtrails, like ie said before, the week started with rainy days, but when the sun came, this kind of biodegradable material appeared again like it is usual, it could be identified as spiderwebs if you dont look closer, but when you touch it is like soap and disappears... Guys and Ladies, let me know what you think if you want to stick a comment :) Take Care GD !!!

I wasn't impressed with the bud structure on the herercane a few weeks ago but I have changed my mind. She has some fat frosty buds and she is going to pack some weight. Lowered the temps to 72. Going to keep the juice pumping
