Week 3 Flower โ Gelonade Run (Week 7 from Seed)
The Gelonade girls are entering full flower mode, and both phenos are thriving beautifully. Stretch is nearly complete, pistils are bursting everywhere, and structure is stacking just as expected. Both are now standing proudly at around 80 cm tall and enjoying their rhythm.
Growth & Flower Development
White hairs crown every top, a sure sign of transition into proper bloom. The stretch has given them elegant structure, spacing out their nodes, and now they are setting the stage for bud building over the next weeks.
Pheno #1 is strong, symmetrical, and classic Gelonade โ exactly what youโd hope for from this lineage.
Pheno #2, thoughโฆ sheโs the unicorn. Her leaf mutation continues to be one of the most fascinating traits Iโve ever seen. The way her leaves open like layered fingers, folding and unfolding in unexpected ways, is pure art. Itโs as if nature decided to write a little love poem in her leaves. Different, unique, and unforgettable. She carries her own beauty, a reminder that not everything perfect is uniform.
Environmental Conditions
Still running a little hot in the room (peaks up to 31โ32ยฐC), but airflow and extraction keep them happy. Humidity is stabilizing better now, averaging around 50โ60%, and VPD is gradually coming closer to target. The TrolMaster sensors continue to keep me on track with moisture, EC, and conditions, making sure the girls stay balanced.
Nutrient Program
The recipe remains steady this week:
โข Aptus Regulator
โข CalMag Boost
โข Aptus Top Booster
โข Plagron Trio (Power Buds, Sugar Royal, Green Sensation) at 1 ml/L
Pellets in the soil are still covering the NPK foundation, so we keep EC around 0.6 with a pH of 6.1. The girls are feeding well, drinking consistently, and showing no signs of stress or deficiencies.
Gratitude & Reflections
This run has been pure joy so far โ both phenos shining in their own way, the environment evolving, and the grow showing its potential. To everyone following along: thank you for the love, the time, and for sharing this passion for the plant. These Gelonades are a reminder that every run brings something new to learn and something beautiful to admire.
