After 48 hours, these things are beast. I thought they needed more time, I couldn’t judge how long they were. I had to dig them out of the paper towel, learned that I need to use cheaper paper towels. 6 out of 6 germinated on my first grow. Let’s keep the same growth going. ******************************* 14 Hours After Potting ************** TEMPS The most recent video showing the domes is 14 hours after potting them. The temps have been very stable at 83F and 70% humidity. My ambient temp outside of the tent is 70F. AIR FLOW I’m currently only running a 6 inch fan above the light for circulation. I have not used the exhaust, I think the idea at this stage is to keep humidity high, any thoughts would be great. LIGHTNING I do have my TSW on max and lowered the height to 36 inches it was almost twice the height yesterday. I didn’t want to make the change so drastic and waited a bit before lowering the height. WATERING The top soil did feel a bit dry and a little moist under. Under the dome it still looks very moist. I sprayed the plastic domes, I’m using distilled ph’d water. I did some light watering on the soil but I’m not sure how much water I should be using . Now that I lowered the height soil should dry out quicker, any thoughts?

Packing it on. Starting to color up. Anvil already showing her beautiful colors. Aliens Berries is a shorty and not getting as much light and starting to get a little airy… way she goes.

I am dropping a fruity pebbles auto from ILGM. Seed was lightly scuffed on ends, and placed in a cup of water for 24 to 48 hours. As soon as I get a tap root tail I will place her directly in the rockwool. Thank you ILGM. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Genetics : KINGS JUICE (Mimosa X Kings Kush) King's Juice has been developed by The Green House Seed Company by combining Mimosa and King's Kush together. The team says its unique, fast-growing plant will surprise you with her beautiful violet/reddish colour leaves and trichomes all over her. The structure is quite interesting too. They say She will grow into coney type with a long main cola allowing the secondary branches to make a beautiful crown around her. They advertise the smell and taste to as floral notes followed by citrusy and earthy hints. They are saying the effects are uplifting, making your body feel light and active but giving your head a little buzz. 📏Spectacles: - Whole crop: Height: 9.5 in Width: 13 in - Leaf: Length: 4 in Width: 1 in 💡Light: MARS HYDRO TSW 2000 ·Low Energy Consumption LED Grow Light: Consuming 300w and mounted with 704 pcs chips, TSW2000 is able to replace a 400w HPS light while saving 25% electricity energy. ·High Efficiency LED Grow Light: With total light output PPF 716umol/S and leading PPE 2.6umol/j, it’s 50% more photon efficient and can promise a 30% more yield comparing to the old HPS/MH lights. ·Patent Highly Reflective Hood Design: The reflector design on TSW2000 has been patented, which can effectively collect the light dispersed in all directions to improve its light utilization and help plants obtain more light absorption. ·Full Spectrum Plant-Preferred Spectra: By the special combination of spectra that emits most light in the 400-700nm waveband, extremely conducive to plant photosynthesis. Adequate IR(730-740nm) is also included in the spectrum to induce bigger buds. ·Dimming And Daisy Chain Function Available: With an independent dimming knob on the removable driver, supporting 0-100% brightness adjustment and up to 15 LEDs daisy-chained in series, it provides various light intensity for different plant stages and meanwhile saves energy. ·Reliable Certifications And Warranty: CE, ETL, RoHS, UKCA safety certifications approved, 50,000 hours longevity, 5-year warranty, and local after-sales service centers. 🍽️Food: Roots Organics Uprising dry amendments is a diverse blend of 100% natural and organic ingredients specially formulated for maximum results. This formula is effective alone as an amendment or as a top dress for encouraging vigorous growth. This is my first round using Roots organics and so far I am very happy with the results. I will focus on such results all the way through. 👨‍🌾How the week is going: This passed week has been a perfect week for her. She's had a perfect environment for her vigor to be at max. I performed LST on her top 2 nodes this week. This really is helping those lower nodes reach the canopy. The space is getting crowded already. Once they are ready for flower I move half of the girls to a different light and keep the ones I am docing here.I have 11 Phenos that I am sorting through to find the top 3 Resin and flavor producers. Not looking for yeild as much as flavor and resin production. For time management purposes I am only documenting 4 phenos. This Kings Juice from GHS is going to be a big crop and a possible heavy yeilder. It would be a treat to find a Pheno that checks all 3 boxes of resin production, Unique Flavor, and productive yeilds. This one is a good contestant. Thank you for stopping by! Hope this diary is beneficial to you! Any questions or comments are acceptable good or bad. ❤️💛💚 HAPPY GROWS 💚💛❤️ ✌️😎💨

As I did the flushing in day 68 I was watching the trichomes and on day 87 I could see 25-35% amber so I decided to cut it. I cut the whole plant on the base and hang them all to dry. For this reason I will update my findings later when it gets dry and trimmed. So far really happy with the results. It won’t yield much but the quality is impressive

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.

😋 Buds gaining weight. 🔥 Stoped burn by potassium (K) but marks remained on the older leaves. ✂️ I'll make last defoliation in the injured leafs. ✌️🎃 Thank you for checking my cultivation.

So we got some very bushy plants. I topped them three times and trained them sideways and the plant focused it's energy on growing out sideways.
