_____ Week 12 | Day 85 - 92 | 5th week blooming 💮 ______ Day 85 🌞 oh yes... the smell when I open the tent becomes more and more intense. The buds also look more and more frosty... I think the extra side light pays off, where normally there is little or no light, the buds look just as frosty as the top colas. I hope you can see that well in the pictures... unfortunately I don't have much space to take good pictures of the pages... Only LPH 2 & 3 can be seen well from the front. Amnesia Haze: Amnesia, as expected, is much slower in development than LPH and Biscotti. Number 1 looks a bit wilder and scruffy than 2 and 3. Also from the development 2 and 3 are further and form already diligent trichomes Biscotti: both biscottis look identical, same pheno I think. development is very good and already looks very frosty Lemon Power Haze: LPH 2 & 3 look identical, with number 3 looking frostier and furthest along in terms of development. LPH number 1 looks totally different, the buds look quite small, and it also looks different. I have to think about something for watering. I love my plants but watering 8 pieces in such a small space is no fun hehe. At the moment I water them manually via a small water pump, the whole thing is very fast but I still have to dislocate myself every time to get to the back plants. this is not the yellow from the egg :D For the next grow, the plants have to be higher and I'm thinking of an automatic water supply. Actually, watering my plants calms me down when I do it with the watering can, but under different conditions...Possibly also fewer plants but more training. When the tent is empty again, I start to implement my plans. I'm also thinking about growing 1 or 2 plants in a DWC system. Whether I make something myself or buy something ready-made is not yet clear. If you have any tips, feel free to write to me. Day 86 🌞💧 - Today was feeding time again, as announced again after the 3rd day. I mixed a little more than 25 liters and provided each plant with ~3 liters Day 89 🌞💧 - Three days are over again and the plants are hungry again. 3 liter each Plant, small drain. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Light - 12/12 h - 560 Watt - 2x 200 Watt Toplight - 4 x 40 Watt Lightbars PPFD - 900 - 1000 µmol Temp. avg. - 22,1° Hum. avg. - 56,3 % RLH

🌸 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.

The grow I planned was going to be ready in January but this may stretch to March at the latest. So far I'm impressed, and everything is going great.

still growing fast as fuck. i was falling more and more in love with her as time passed. she was showing signs of hunger so i gave her, her first feed of veg nutes on december 5th 2021. I mixed 1/2 tsp to each gallon. I used a bucket with 3 gallons of dechlorinated tap water. Decmber 8th: same amount of veg to gallons of water with the same 1/2 tsp. phd to 6.4. December 10th gave her a feed honestly dont know how much. id say about 10-20 cups worth of dechlorinated tap water with 1/2 tsp of veg nutes to 3 gallons.

My grow light has started messing up. It turns off at random times and when I turn the dimmer knob a little it come back for a few days. This is not what I expected from a high-end priced item. Anyway, I contacted with MarsHydro and waiting for their response. Lowered the humidity level to 55% , although it is a tricky situation. This week I noticed that the leaves are tacoing, my bet is on bad air circulation and too much light. The humidity should be even lower, but I have to wait until she recovers. DLI 40

Bueno!!!! hay una punta, Justo la que da en el centro de las dos lamparas que tiene un tono más amarillo que las otras, pareciera una deficiencia de magnesio pero en las hojas más jóvenes, pienso qué hay un exeso de luz en esa zona entonces decidí apagar 50w de cálidos para ver si mejora, próximo riego voy a hacer run off para ver si no estoy sobre fertilizando y creando un bloqueo de nutrientes. La planta se ve saludable pero no de un color correcto cómo está su hermana. 19/04 Se encuentran pulgones negros en el piso de la carpa, muchos. Se pulveriza con aceite de neem y bioprotect. Además se colocaron muchas trampas cromáticas con fabricadas en casa con aceite de giralsol Se riega con 2 litros de agua (50% grifo + 50% Osmosis) + 2ml de cal mag de top crop PH: 6.4 con el nuevo medidor ya! EC:0.9 21/04/2022 se pulveriza foliar ambas plantas con Big One 1ml x L PH: 6.4 antes que se apaguen las luces y empiece la noche 22/04/2022 se riega con 2,5 litros de agua (2000cm3 osmosis inversa + 3000cm3 de la red) + 3 ml de Cal-Mag para reforsar el calcio, se baja el PH del agua a 5 y se agrega BioEnhancer de Green House Feeding 1 Gr x Litro

420Fastbuds FBT2306 Week 9 What up everyone. Weekly update on these two show stoppers and all I can say is 👌. They both are showing some really crazy colors and buds are nice and dense covered in trichs. I checked them under magnification and trichs are still clear and cloudy and I'm shooting for an 80/20 split of cloudy to amber. No major issues besides some fading in the leafs but that's expected at this point in flower. Guessing maybe another week or two before the chop. All in all Happy Growing.

I need to take the flowering plant into the 12-12 light period. However, since I do not have enough space, I use 18-6 light time.

11/21/24 Short facts: - Watered: 1 x 0.75L, 1 x 0.75L, 1 x 1.5L, 1 x 1.75L — 4.75L - VPD @ 1.4 — raised by 0.1 - Light @ 70% ~700 to 850 PPFD - Getting colder! At night between 18 to 19°C - Heat mats are warming the roots - Harvestet on Sunday 12/01 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I only watered the Lemon Cherry Cookies during her last week and harvested her on Sunday, 12/01. I was quite impressed by how thick her buds turned out. And there were even more buds buried in the clover! 😂 I’ll update the report with the final harvest details in about two to three weeks so you’ll know how much she yielded. I’ll also add some additional thoughts and critique about my grow, including the mistakes I made.

Gave a light defol on the 21st, mostly on the California Orange Bud. It's been a pretty bushy strain this go around. Flowers are progressing on the younger plants and the older plants are starting to fatten a little.
