They are healthy but i see some calcium deficiency on the leaves, I will supplement the plant despite my water contain a good amount of calcium. I don't think it's a mag exces. Overall they grow very well and produce good size buds for the

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. The leaves tell their own stories, the room hums with technology, and flower season is officially underway.

Hola amigo! Arrancamos un nuevo proyecto, esta hermosa sativa The Ethiopian de @TERPYZ Semillas regulares, genética landrace pura de Etiopía, grande, gran poder sativa, larga floración y resistente a clima húmedo y cálido. La marca recomienda sembrar directamente al sustrato, aquí, en suelo vivo funcionó perfectamente. 4 de 4 germinadas. Los brotes tardaron 3 a 4 días en aparecer entre el húmedo ambiente inicial. Se mantendrán en el tupper hasta que se vea estabilidad y tamaño apto Saludos a todos y éxitos, este proyecto viene cargado de una gran aventura

This week I’ve decided to defoliate a bit, I just hope she doesn’t die bcs of it. Had to get rid of some yellowing bottom leaves as well as big, sun blocking fan leaves! Cloudy weather all week but coming week some nice sunny days are expected again! She has a nice pungent spicy smell!

Hello! I was absent for most of the grow and unable to properly fill out my journal but my caretaker did a great job following the directions I left. This is my 5x5 tent containing four 5gal sites in a RDWC loop with SE7000 led light. Fed General Hydroponic 10 part @ light strength. Seeds started 2/3 and chopped 4/12. Only training was a topping on week 3 and defoliating after the flower stretch. Not going to lie, I was so hyped to grow this strain that I began growing unimpressed when it seemed the cultivar it shared its space with was outshining them…but I gave the amnesia zkittlez ~2 more weeks and it really turned around. What seemed like just a jungle of loose leaves actually packed on some thick mass and accumulated the most intoxicating aroma of the taste of skittles I didn’t think possible from a plant. Of the 4 plants - 2 are amnesia zkittlez (on the right side in pic). They yielded 816g! 486g of nice buds 103g of trim 330g LARF / lower buds! Total RDWC 5x5 grow was 1429g! It’s only been curing for a couple of weeks but I’m really impressed by the terps and how enjoyable the smoke is! I would definitely recommend and grow again! 👍 Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Growmies, She is doing what she is supposed to be doing. Little bud sights are forming everywhere, let’s see how much further she will stretch, but from what it looks like right now, I would say I’ll let her just Strich through the scrog now. Thanks for stopping by and see you next week :)

01/23/2025 : a bit of yellowing last week but it seems OK now. AH may have eaten everything in its previous pot... Scrog net is already full after 5 days! I just added a bit of calmag and trace elements, autopot and biotabs will do the rest.

Soaked seeds all in peroxide solution for effortless germination 48 hours or until root pops out 1mm, than I paper towel them for 2 days for tap roots before planting in the medium. Note: Smile now Cry Laterz and FX3 were started one week later. Not pictured in this post. The first 6 popped were lemon cherry pop, which are from S1 seeds I made from 2 females using the stress method. I just raised my flowering temps for one day at 92 degrees during week 4 flowering to make them herm as an experiment and it worked😅! This was during a hot summer and I just shut off the a/c for a day in the room which I usually keep at 77-82 degrees! So I basically tricked them!

2020-01-12(Day 15) - Fastbuds Purple Lemonade passed the MegaPowerPlant of the same age in height. I just implemented LST and introduced Nutes. From the grows I've seen of this strain I think I'll stick to LST and not top, take advantage of the large internodal spacing. One or two more weeks and we should see some dark buds forming, can't wait!

Flowers are stacking well for all 3 strains, outlaw amnesia is very sensitive to over watering i find it tough because needing to water at different intervals. Been feeding them 1L of organic nutes and 2L water weekly. Watering in huge ammount is useful for me as the pot dries my humidity is able to drop to 39% with good air circulation.
