Week 13! We made it to harvest! The buds are looking gorgeous..bright green super crystally from that 48 hours of darkness prior..and oh so many hints of purple all thanks to my efforts of cooling down temps at night. Smelling absolutely dank right after drying which was a nice teaser for me when I get to finally smoke her! I have two plants chopped one is still drying and I’ll probably add one more photo because it had one fat cola that needs to be shared LOL! Unfortunately this plant was 6 grams short of giving me 2 full ounces but i’m still learning and they weren’t trained at all and I’m happy with the result! I think the plant still hanging will give me an ounce or less..it was my corner plant that didn’t get much tending. What a fun strain to grow will update on the smoke eventually!

SUNDAY 5/19: I accidentally left my UV timer in the "ON" position all night and half of the next day...fearing sudden death, I have moved everybody that was almost ready into the dark tent, including the most advanced Candy Cane x C4 and will start harvesting them tomorrow..maximum UVB stress for about 20 hours...if it works out that they are even more potent than expected without turning brown overnight, I'll claim it was "intentional," and purport it as an "advanced technique" 😉 MONDAY: The big one still looks fine after the mega-UVB incident , so she's still sitting in the dark. I flipped on the green light and went into the tent for a sniff test on everybody. She smells more like a C4 than a Candy Cane...a delightful aroma! The others have just about dried out..I'll probably start flushing a couple of them tomorrow and just water the others. TUESDAY: I harvested and wet trimmed CC4 #2 today. She wasn't very big, but her buds are ultra-dense and stinky. I also harvested the big one today(CC4#3) and hung her to dry in the dark tent. I decided to go ahead and flush everybody else today for the first time. I lowered the lights in the big tent several inches and set the light cycle back to 20/4, plus they are still getting hammered by the UVB for 6 hours of the day in 2 x 3-hour intervals. WEDNESDAY: I semi-wet-trimmed CC4 #3 and forgot to take photos..will do it when they are dry, prior to weighing and jarring it up. CC4 #1 was dry today, so I took some photos of the dried buds prior to weighing it and jarring it up. She weighed in at 66 grams after removing the excess lumber. She's very frosty, but her buds are a little bit fluffier than I like. THURSDAY: The last several CC4's will be flushed for the second time tomorrow. 2 more of the harvested plants will get weighed and jarred up tomorrow, but the other two will still need another day or two to dry. FRIDAY: I decided to wait to flush til tomorrow. I didn't have time today, so I'll weigh and jar up a few plants tomorrow. I just stuck the dry ones into some 2-gallon jars with boost 62's for now. I'm seeing about 20-25% amber trichomes on a few of them. They should be capable of putting me on my ass for a while. I killed the first few with just a couple ambers here and there, and the next two with about 5-10%, so I should have a pretty good sampling from them to know what it has and hasn't to offer. Glad I chose to grow these accidental F1 hybrids...muah hah hah hahhhh...😆 SATURDAY: I flushed the last 4 x CC4's with 3 gallons of ph-adjusted spring water today(and the remaining 4 other plants of different strains...my back is killing me..) and took some photos. Their foliage got pretty burnt from the mega-UVB overexposure incident, so I'll my work cut out for me with the trim..but damnit..they are getting super frosty and stinky!😋 I ran out of time, so didn't get around to weighing and jarring the dried plants. So, I just continued the cure in their big jars for the day.

Good week overall, started with a defoliation and lst for Sugar Mama, she was too unruly and here we are by the end of the week she is full of leaves again. I am going to let her grow as is and save her from more defolation she is not getting taller, yet. All the other girls are doing well, nothing much to report apart from that I found out what is going on with those nutrients and the general unhealth of plants (spots on some, really bright on others, clawed tip, ...) but none seemed too serious. I discovered that because I am towards the end of my nutrients that they were too think and were not actually mixing well into the water explaining why the EC wasn't getting as high as I expected when adding biogrow. Made sure the nutrients are properly mixed (put them in then blast with water to mix well) and water them today with a good mixed meal, expecting them to have better colours soon. The fastberry is looking prettier every day, the deformity that was at the beginning is barely visible now. Good week overall, although I've been focusing on my outdoor plants (one harvested another moved indoor permanently). Started on day 43 with a defoliation and lst for Sugar Mama, she was too unruly and here we are by the end of the week she is full of leaves again.

Day 15: Did a lil LST on the GG. She was getting rather tall! They both look great, though! Still no nutes. Day 16: No new updates today. I did bend the GSC over tho. Day 17: Gave em a drink today. They are lookin great! 💪 Day 18: They dry out too quick so I gave em a real good drink and will let em dry out really good next go. They are looking wonderful! This batch is growing awful slow it seems like. Nothing like my OG Kush I have going. Day 19: Busy, no updates. Day 20: So, I am embarrassed to say that I have been letting them dry out too severely. I mis-interpreted the wet/dry cycle. I guess your not supposed to let them dry out for 3-4 days at a time, LOL!! :| Lesson learned. :) Day 21: They are both looking really great! So freaking tiny though. But it is my mistake these girls are already in flower. I will try them again for sure. Dunkin some seeds here directly.

Well it’s week 6 and the c4 is looking amazing :) , her buds are developing well and she has really started to take in a nice purple Colour on the budding Sites and the leaves :) . Her smell is starting to dominate the grow room atm , allow all 6 plants are the same age she is most definitely the most advanced into the flowering phase .. I can’t wait to see what next week brings :)

🌸 Week 5 Flower – Gelonade Journey What a week! The Gelonade girls are now stepping fully into their flower form, and it’s breathtaking to witness. The evolution is clear: their structure is leaning beautifully toward the sativa side, with long, elegant branches reaching outward and bud formations stretching gracefully. Even though Gelonade carries a 60% sativa / 40% indica balance, the girls are clearly showcasing their sativa influence, airy yet strong, expressive, and absolutely stunning. ✨ Sativa Stretch & Structure The branching is art in motion, every node working like a painter’s brushstroke on a living canvas. The main colas are elongating, and even the funky pheno is showing its own charm in how the leaves and flowers express themselves. It’s one of those weeks where you just stand back and admire. ⚙️ Smart Growing with Sensors The WCS2 substrate sensor from TrolMaster has been invaluable this week. It constantly reads moisture, EC, and temperature directly from the soil, helping to decide exactly when to feed and when to hold back. Instead of guessing, we’re guided by real data, a powerful ally for keeping the roots in balance. 💧 Nutrient Recipe Update This week we reintroduced Aptus All-In-One Liquid at 1 ml per liter, complementing the standing mix of Aptus Regulator, CalMag Boost, and Plagron Power Buds, Sugar Royal, and Green Sensation. The reasoning is simple: as the flowers demand more, a little extra balanced nutrition ensures the canopy stays lush while the energy shifts toward bud production. 💡 Inner Canopy Lighting One of the biggest joys this run is the extra canopy lighting. The Future of Grow and ThinkGrow LEDs shine from above, but the added under-canopy strips are filling gaps and ensuring photons penetrate deeply. Instead of shadowy corners, the girls are glowing top to bottom, every leaf touched by light. 🌿 Recap & What’s Next From seed to now — germination, veg, stretch, and into this fifth week of flower — the Gelonades have shown resilience and individuality. Pheno #2, with her unicorn leaves, continues to amaze, while both are stacking into tall, elegant forms. For next week, we expect more density building, pistils shifting color, and the first whispers of resin glands sparkling under the LEDs. The journey forward promises more fragrance, more structure, and more beauty still to come. 💚 Closing Thought This week, the Gelonades remind us of the elegance of balance, between sativa and indica, between stretch and strength, between data and instinct. Every leaf, every branch, every bud is a note in a song that is only just beginning to play. May the branches stretch without fear, may the buds swell with light, and may each day bring us closer to the harvest of dreams. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

This week was a big week for the candy cush. I noticed upon watering her to run off, that in the same day the pot would go super dry and light weight. I also noticed stress in the leaves and roots poking out the bottom of the pot. It was time for a transplant. So far so good! Upon transplanting i performed more LST to help her fill in the pot. She went from a 1 gallon to a 5 gallon. She was also defoliated thia week.

All 3 plants are adapting very well to LST, the shape its growing into have been allowing the light to reach further into the lower growth nodes and branches. I like to start bending the branches close to the main stem as early as week 3 of VEG. Now these 3 Northern Lights Auto seeds are from Sun West Genetics, they were all germinated, planted, trained, fed the same way they have been on the same controlled environment since day 1, the 3 are totally different, I know each plant is unique in its own way, but I find strange that 1 plant is taller and stronger than the other 2, the smaller one is growing weak leaves with signs of mutation, all 3 plants show signs of Magnesium deficiency, these 3 plants are sharing a grow tent with a Haze Auto from Seedsman, all 4 plants are under the same diet, the Haze have no signs of deficiencies or mutations, I guess that shows what good genetics look like. For the Magnesium deficiency I have mixed my own Epson salts into water and applied as a foliar spray, internet said the spray should be used every other week, wait 2 weeks to see results. Signs of Nutes burn, I decided to stop feeding for this coming week. The 3 NL leaves are looking unhappy, kind of clawing under, they look lifeless, I have ruled off a few potential problems such as: Wind Burn Under Watering Water PH Light Burn, just moved the QB higher to 17 inches from the highest canopy today. If any of you fellow growers have advice for the leaves, please let me know. Stay Lit folks 👩‍🌾🏻

Starting my flush this week using 10ml of Clearex per Gallon of water flushed down to 450EC or 225ppm, going to now continue watering with ph'd balanced water when dry with about 10-20% runoff. Going to keep an eye on the trichomes but I'm thinking I'm gonna harvest early to mid of next week. I'm going to try and bring out even more of the colors in the flowers this last week or two and I'm going to start watering with ice cold water not sure if it'll help or not but I'm gonna give it a shot. End of Week 13/Week 8 of Flower it went well the plants are flushed and are fading, going to chop in a few days.

Hi, everybody. Already the end of the 4 weeks in tent my student. Soon there will be an update of my tent when there is free time. But it will be soon. We also plan to make a trip to our partisan cannabis plantations to check their integrity and show you. Soon I'll be making clones in my tent. And in General a lot of plans. Until next time.
