Day 17 and she is growing still a little slower compare to everyone else, but hope the side branching will pick up a bit for training. Keep freaking out thinking I have mites again but I don’t see them on my leaves. Plus I think I have grasshoppers nibbling on all my gals leaves. As of Saturday Fozzy Bear (we wanted it Fozzie but official paper work says otherwise) joined the family and his new big brother Buddy. He has already grown a few inches since we got him but god is he ever cute, and god bless Buddy for taking his playful shit since

🌸 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.

8/10: Seeing great growth now..lots of branching. I actually fed them yesterday, but didn't update...several have popped some pistils and pretty much the rest are about to, and I'm out of bat guano, so I went ahead and gave them Open Sesame so they'd have more P available over the next several days. 8/11: I rearranged the garden a little. Moved all four #10's to the right side, the #4's are mostly in the middle...very branchy..the others, mostly to the left are the #2's and maybe a #3. The big plant on the lower left is an auto, as is the runt, and the plant at lower right. The "fern-looking" plant is actually a Jacaranda Tree (blue fern tree)...it's about to get kicked out... 8/12: I did a little training on some of the bushier #4's today. I don't have much space to work with, but I was able to do a little to encourage a race for apex dominance. There were enough pistils on them that I decided to switch the week to "Flowering." 8/13: I fed them today with ONE and added Open Sesame, Silica, Signal, and Sweet & Sticky. I sprayed them all with Axiom (Harpin proteins) and Boom Boom Spray right at dark. 8/14: BAM! They are poppin pistils left and right now...lotsa lovely little cotton tops.👍 8/15: Day 15 since the flip to 12/12..good progress. The #2's and #10's are stacking up and stretching pretty well and the #4's just keep bushing up.

Week 3 Report: The White OG – Reaching New Heights 🌟 Another week, another milestone for our beautiful White OG! She’s pushing through her veg stage, now proudly showing off her fourth node and growing strong. While she’s looking amazing, I’ve noticed a touch of light green creeping in—nothing to worry about, but it’s a little nudge that a pot upgrade is coming soon. For now, we’re holding steady with the same great conditions and feedings, letting her shine her way. Growth Highlights: Pushing the 4th Node This week, she’s been focusing on steady vertical growth and spreading out her gorgeous leaves. The emergence of her fourth node is a sign she’s gearing up for even bigger things ahead. Though that lighter green coloring hints at her wanting a little more room to stretch her roots, it’s not slowing her down. Next week, she’ll get a new home in a bigger pot, plus a boost from Aptus All-in-One Pellets to power her progress. Environment: Consistency Is Everything The environment remains the key to her success: • Temperature: Keeping it steady and warm to promote healthy, vigorous growth. • Humidity: Still riding that high RH wave, which keeps her roots happy and hydrated. • Lighting: The Future of Grow (FOG) LED at 200 PPFD continues to provide just the right amount of energy for strong, compact growth. Feeding Routine: Keeping It Balanced She’s thriving under the care of Aptus Holland nutrients, and this week, the focus has been on maintaining her steady growth with: • Regulator (0.15 ml/L): Supporting her structure and keeping stress levels at bay. • CalMag Boost (0.25 ml/L): Ensuring those cell walls are strong and chlorophyll production stays on point. • Start Booster (0.25 ml/L): Powering her roots with essential nutrients and beneficial microbes. • All-in-One Liquid (1 ml/L): Providing a complete nutrient blend to fuel her vegetative stage. These products have been keeping her strong and resilient, preparing her for the next phase of her journey. Looking Ahead: Pot Upgrade Incoming! As we move into Week 4, it’ll be time for her first transplant into a bigger pot. This will give her roots room to expand and allow her to take full advantage of the nutrients from Aptus All-in-One Pellets. For now, though, she’s holding her own and looking every bit the resilient beauty she is. 🌱✨ Shoutouts and Love Big thanks to the amazing team behind this journey: • Future of Grow for providing stellar lighting. • Aptus Holland for their incredible nutrient line. • Grow Diaries, for being the platform where we all share and learn. • And to all of YOU, the growers, followers, and friends—thank you for your inspiration and support! 🌟 Oh and last but not least huge thanks to SeedsmanSeeds 💚 Stay tuned for next week’s update—our White OG is just getting started. 💚 Growers Love! 🌱✨ DISCOUNT CODE - SeedsmanSeeds - DOGDOCTOR 10% off As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and so joyful with you all in my life 🙏
 With true love comes happiness 💚🙏 Always believe in your self and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart , be a giver and the universe will give back to you in ways you could not even imagine so 💚

My first outdoor grow. This is around week 9 of growth. I got these 2 clones from someone and grew them indoors for about a month or so before hardening them off. They have been through plenty of training and topping and even more since this picture. As of 5 days ago they were nice and wide so I'm excited to see the growth since the. I have done a great deal to keep deer and bugs at bay. Neem oil, dog and human urine, dried blood, ground pepper and powdered, oregano, garlic and onion. The site is very difficult to access. Poison ivy, thorns, steep ravine and large logs to climb over. No paths there and I take different ways constantly, as well as through some fertilizer in my wake. There's a small creek near by and a larger one it fees into about 75 yards away. There's 3 bags of FFOF and 1 bag happy frog between the 2 holes, with amino acids and great white mixed in as well as some water polymer crystals.

„Jetzt wird’s duftend!“ In dieser Woche hat die Cinderella offiziell beschlossen, erwachsen zu werden – und das sieht man ihr an. Die ersten Knospenansätze sprießen wie kleine Optimisten aus jedem Seitenast und rufen: „Jetzt geht’s looos!“ Sie steht breit, selbstbewusst und unglaublich vital da – wie jemand, der genau weiß, dass ihm die neue Frisur steht. :-) Die Blätter zeigen ein sattes, gesundes Grün, und die Blüten sind schön kompakt – ein Zeichen dafür, dass Licht, Luft und Biobizz-Nahrung hier ein echtes Dreamteam bilden. Die oberen Triebspitzen richten sich stramm nach oben und wirken, als würden sie schon Pläne für die kommenden Wochen schmieden. Insgesamt startet die Cinderella mit ordentlich Power in die Blüte: stabil, buschig, wuchsfreudig und mit dem unmissverständlichen Ehrgeiz, in den nächsten Wochen noch richtig aufzudrehen. So darf eine Blütewoche 1 aussehen – energetisch wie der Startschuss zu einem wohlriechenden Marathon.

Start of week 2 flowering. This girl is hungrier than her round 1 sister. Probably because of the extra veg time, she has developed more root and plant mass that needs more nutrients. The plant itself is growing nicely, stretching a little bit, so I did some defoliation and LST.

Growing like a weed..... up to my chin now and I'm about 5'11" I feel I'm going to have to add some serious reinforcement to these branches. The blueberry cheese has some heat stress as it's out in the sun all day, also s9me twisted growth I've never saw before.

Su 5ta semana completada ! (mas un día porque debí subirlo ayer) El crecimiento sigue progresando y esta semana aumente la dosis en un ml (la siguiente semana creo subiré a 4ml/L) ya que empecé a observar un poco de decolora miento de algunas hojas aunque también sobre fertilizar es algo que debo de tomar en cuenta. Seguiré haciendo LST quizá un par de sesiones más porque estoy seguro que no falta mucho para entrar a floración y espero establecer una buena estructura antes de ese momento para que empiece q crecer hacia arriba, espero salga bien; es mi primer LST 😃 Sigan este diario semana a semana 😃

Eccoci di nuovo qui!!! Super eccitato per questa nuova collab con Anesia Seeds, team davvero al top, che mi ha dato l’opportunità di testare questa nuova genetica e di condividere i progressi con tutti voi!!! Un risultato inaspettato devo dirlo... Strain 1 ha un odore molto forte sembra "salsiccia" ma quando la fumi davvero è molto pesante!! Strain 2 molto più soft sia come odore che sapore ma comunque abbastanza interessante.. Nel complesso la consiglio per i colori che rilascia la pianta in fioritura tendendo al rosso specie nelle punte delle prendisole davvero molto bello da vedere.. Grazie a tutti per il supporto ❤️🍀🔥
