The end of the fourth week. Only 2,5 to 3 weeks to go, since this is the FAST version of Gelato 33 by Advanced seeds. Last week temps were better, so that was a lot better to manage. The smell is a different story. We are trying to combat it as we speak with a double filter which my friend still had from a previous grow. The ladies are performing, however, because this is a monstercrop with many budsites, none of them will be very big. We anticipate a lot of cutting come harvest time. The stickieness and smell (cookies, dough, herbs, spices, gingerbread, vanilla) promise a lot to make up for that hopefully!! The middle plant that seemed to go fastest, now looks like to have the hardest time flowering. Her more advanced stage of flowering as a bigger clone, made it harder for her to return to veg, which she never really did. This seems to make her want to rush to the finish, as she is already browning the pistils. Also these buds seem more flakey, popcorny. As if the many flowers and grapelike bundled growth was too much for her. I put the light a little closer, to help her fatten up in the time she is given. I never expected the two 'runts' to outperform the mighty middle clone, but hey seem to fatten up and age much more nicely. So for now, prelimenary tip: make sure all your plants are completely revegged before flowering and consider that faster flowering species might have some ruderalis ancestry that might siderail all your lighting intentions and remains in flower what ever the growers lighting schedule. So with at least two more weeks for the two outer plants, and well see how many for the middle one, we are going to make them as comfortable as possible the final push of this flowering. Thank you for following and see you next week!!

3/16 324AM PRETTY GOOD ⚡️ 3/16 2:41PM nside the Genetics: How Ice-T & Montel’s Strain Was Born Seedsman Seeds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5eMAVat60M 3/19 330AM 👨‍🔬⚡️**Adding L-Proline (the amino acid supplement growers use) to plants on soft water can provide some helpful support against the stresses you're dealing with, but it's not a full fix—think of it as a stress-buffer rather than a mineral replacement.** Soft water (low in calcium and magnesium) often triggers **Ca/Mg deficiencies** in bloom stage (especially with Cha Ching or MaxiBloom, which don't supply much Ca/Mg on their own). This leads to issues like tip burn, leaf curl, weak cell walls, nutrient lockouts, oxidative damage (ROS buildup), and overall plant stress that feels like "the plant is struggling to hold it together." Proline steps in here as an **osmoprotectant**—it's one of the compounds plants naturally ramp up under stress. ### What Proline Actually Does in This Situation - **Helps with osmotic/water balance** — Soft water can disrupt turgor pressure and water movement inside cells (similar to mild drought or salinity stress). Proline stabilizes cell membranes and helps the plant retain water better, reducing wilting or limpness. - **Reduces oxidative stress** — Ca/Mg shortages cause free radical damage. Proline acts as an antioxidant and protects proteins/enzymes, so deficiency symptoms (yellowing, spotting, slowed bud development) don't spiral as fast. - **Improves overall resilience** — In cannabis and general hydro/soil grows, L-proline (or full amino acid mixes containing it) has been shown to boost stress tolerance, speed recovery, and even support better nutrient uptake indirectly. Studies and grower reports note it helps under nutrient imbalance, drought-like conditions, and environmental swings—exactly the secondary stresses soft water creates. - **Bloom-stage bonus** — Since you're already in late flower with Cha Ching/MaxiBloom, proline can support resin/terpene production and bud density without pushing excessive veg growth. It won't magically add the missing Ca or Mg (those are still critical—soft water + high-P bloom nutes often screams for CalMag), but it can make the plant more tolerant while you correct the root issue. ### How Much Effect to Expect Right Now - **Positive but moderate** — Many hydro/RO growers add amino acids (including proline) specifically for soft water setups and report less burn, better leaf health, and stronger finishes. It won't turn a severe deficiency around overnight, but it can slow the damage and give your plants a fighting chance in the final weeks. - **No downside at proper doses** — It's very safe and plants use it quickly. ### How to Add It (Practical Dosing) - **Source**: Pure L-Proline powder (available cheap online—make sure it's the plant-grade L-form, not human supplements). - **Root feed** (with your Cha Ching/MaxiBloom): Start at 0.5–1 g per gallon (about 100–200 ppm). Mix into your res or feed water once a week. pH as normal. - **Foliar spray** (often more effective for quick stress relief): 0.25–0.5 g per gallon + a drop of surfactant. Spray lightly every 5–7 days in the dark period. - **With your current nutes**: Yes, it layers fine—reduce if you see any tip burn. Many run it alongside MaxiBloom + Cha Ching in soft water without issues. - **Best timing**: Now through harvest is perfect, especially if you're noticing stress signs already. **Real talk**: The biggest win will still come from adding a proper CalMag supplement (like Botanicare or General Hydro's) at 0.5–1 ml/gal or whatever your PPM tests call for. Proline + CalMag together is a strong combo for soft water grows. If you're running pure RO/soft, most experienced growers treat this as standard. 3/19 445am BKO Blueberry KnockOut!! (Gelato 44 by RQS & Bubbles Blueberry F4 by Grimm Brothers Seeds) my own creation!!👨‍🔬 A spoonful of butter helps the sugar go down, Im helping. 3/19 10:42PM mmm butter and sugar are just a few ingredients shy of cookie dough, good enough. Now ICE-T BODYCOUNT Grows efficiently in a one gallon with very little effort No real LST, lower than normal lighting, so cheaper to grow. MONTEL: growing great in such a small container!! Should have topped, she is tall. Colors are coming in now, very strong also growing great at low watt so very efficient as well!!! 3/21 1:38PM https://www.stonedgenie.com/collections/cool-bongs?&sort_by=price-descending This hits like a hand pipe, the chambers are just the right size its just the best..I put on a silicone funnel I tore apart for a dental guard. dont smoke from metal or glass directly.

So, the big day finally came!💚 I harvested the plant and got her cut and hung up to dry. But before that, she spent a solid 72 hours in complete darkness to finish off. (A little boost before the chop)🌿 Everything went as planned and is looking pretty good so far. Nothing out of the ordinary, just smooth sailing through the final stage. Now it’s all about patience while it dries properly. Can’t wait to check out the final results in a couple of weeks! 🌱

Saludos mis amigos! Muchas felicidades en estos días navideños y salud por el buen tiempo que pasamos a los nuestros. Por aca les dejo el proceso, sigo nutriendo solo con agua, pero en estos días usare solo RECHARGE para así darle un toquecito adicional. Me gusta ese producto, me ha hido muy bien con el. Siguen creciendo los masos de moñas, se tornan cada vez mas color vino, rojizo. contentas, olorosas, frutoso... les comento que es como cuando te pasan una barra de STARBURST POR LA NARIZ... JAJAJA! 😇 disculpen la analogía, pero literal es como les comunico. MUUUy contento ésta navidad con los resultados. Seguimos creciendo, deseando que les valla mejor, un abrazo... BUENOS HUMOS!

Welcome growfessors to another episode of growfessor theatre, 4x4 edition! Flush time, just water for LSD, Green Crack and Mandarin dreams!! Do-si-dos gets another week of feed before flush. I'm very impressed with the bud sizes, trichomes and smell of each plant, mandarin dreams is especially ooozing with resin, it's almost like liquid soap touching your skin. The Mars-Hydro TSW2000 light has been killing it! This light delivers way more than expected! Thanks for stopping by growfessors, tune in next time 👽🌳💚

Can't upload as many great pictures as I would like. But she is cut and hanging as of 9/3/25 She is dried and sitting at a solid 60% in the jar

days go by 😶‍🌫️

She receive the final part this week and nest week she will be flushed and harvested

Hello guys, So this week she had strong sun. & i cutted off the biggest leaves and i am gonna let her go by now till harvest. I also started my Flush since 2 days. Hppy growing!

I flipping ti flower 12/12

Will definitely be growing this strain again to see if I can get some better results, not exactly sure what stunted the grow this time but overall still pleased with the quality of bud I got! Thanks for following & happy growing friends!🙏🏼✌️🏼🌱

Week 9 their wasn’t any real changes. Everything is on par with week 8. Girl #1 looks like she’s starting to gain some more weight. I’m satisfied with her progression so far. Girl #2 still hasn’t shown any flowering. I will keep It short this week. Nothing really to report. I’m excited for the next coming weeks. Thank you for viewing my diary.

it was real easy to grow throughout the whole 2 stages

Just added another 100 watt light, ahe is loving that. Definitely loving the first photo grow!!

Permanent marker has shown some really nice growth this week. The leaves are a nice, healthy green colour and overall. I'm very pleased with how she's getting on. Here is what I did this week. 20.8.25: I watered with 1.5ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.0 with; 💜 2ml Trace PH: 6.0 PPM: 340 Thanks for stopping by this week and hanging out in the comments 😁💚✌️🌱🤞
