So I found this elastic SCROG wasn't doing for me ... so I just took it off . Lucky I'm working with a VERY resilient strain as it was cloned from a mother whom in which was the survivor of my 75 plant loss. So this this was burnt to a crisp without water for a little over 14 DAYS . So I wouldn't try this with anything I wasnt sure could "take the heat" . With it off the buds just kinda flopped a bit but still retained alot of resilience; the beautiful things . Now I could name about 100 things I could have done better . But if you think your "the best grower ever " that's a pretty used minded way to look at it . But am I proud of myself . Yeah :) - slow down feed to leave terp at end . Dnuah Dnauh... next week THE ATTACK OF THE CANNABALIST

second week of flowering done. They were stretching like crazy. Installed a 3rd net to keep the stretch under control. Jumped from 35 cm to 83 cm in 2 weeks. They giving me some headache because of the hight. Should have send them 1 or 2 weeks earlier into flower. But it’s a lesson how to handle or not handle hybrids and sativas. Over all in was quite relaxing just adding water/ nutrients and doing some defoliation. So far so good. it’s quite easy to keep them on the same level with 3 nets. Still learning how to handle certain situations and conditions. But so far I am happy. They have got a massive need of Kalium at the moment. Should have given them more TA -Grow nutrients. But that’s party of learning. Really happy about the aeroponic setup. Really like the full control of the grow medium. (Compared to soil it’s easier for control freaks). Really water efficient compared to dwc/hydro/soil and changes made take effect pretty fast. Really nice oxygen supply at the roots and overall nice control possibilities regarding to roots and medium/solution. A possible downside could be that u can only use mineral nutrients and no organic nutrients. (We want some bacteria and fungus but not these ones that break down organic nutrients. That is more a preference thing than anything else. Good made hydro can compete with soil easily but most ppl put to much in there and ruin it any way. (Don’t want to trigger its good that everyone got its own style and evolves it in his needs and conditions.) The maintenance effort that is required for aero is a bit higher than soil and dwc but it pays off. (Personal opinion but numbers proof it) Looking forward to the next weeks and flower build up.

Sie Blüten werden dunkler, nicht mehr lange bis zur Ernte. Die Seneszens hat begonnen, die Pflanze remobilisiert jetzt ihre letzten Nährstoffe aus den Blättern, deshalb werden diese von Tag zu Tag etwas gelber. Der Drain ist wieder in einem guten Bereich und die Pflanze hat inzwischen das schlimmste überstanden. Die Nährstoffe werden in den nächsten Wochen stückchenweise reduziert und in ein paar Tagen werde ich den ersten Trichom Check machen. Bis dahin darf die Dame noch glücklich weiter wachsen! :)

Englisch version below Tag 70 Grow: Tag 15 Blüte: Bis auf die RLF% läuft alles wie geplant. Nach dem Lollipopping schafft es der Entfeuchter nicht mehr unter 65% - entsprechend wurde die Umluft durch einen zusätzlichen Ventilator ergänzt. Alle 2 Gießvorgänge bekommen die Ladies Composttea und jeden ersten Vorgang Wasser mit etwas angepasster Nährlösung. Die Trauermücken breiten sich auch stark aus - Gestern wurden mit dem Tea auch Nemathoden gegossen - Zwar sind die Tierchen in der Blüte nicht mehr sooo schlimm (Vorallem für junge Pflanzen mit schwachen Wurzeln gefährlich) - aber Wer will schon Fliegen im Endprodukt. Wie im Video zu sehen ist - habe ich die Stärksten Triebe der linken Pflanze ge-supercropped - der Strech hat gewonnen - das Zelt ist ausgereizt. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 70 – Grow Day 15 – Flowering Phase: Except for relative humidity, everything is running as planned. After the lollipopping, the dehumidifier is no longer able to reduce RH below 65%, so air circulation was increased by adding another fan. Every second watering the plants receive compost tea, while the first watering in the cycle is plain water with a slightly adjusted nutrient solution. Fungus gnats have also been spreading significantly. Yesterday, nematodes were applied together with the tea. While these insects are not as problematic during the flowering stage (they are mainly dangerous for young plants with weak roots), no one wants flies in the final product. As can be seen in the video, the strongest shoots of the left plant were supercropped. The stretch has won — the tent space has been fully utilized.

She is completely switching to flowering, so changed the feeding schedule to help her with base Top Bloom and BigOne That broken main stem you see happened like 1 month ago, and the plant did not suffered, it was when i was bending the branches tying it to the 150l pot but had to use a big flange.... Last days it was horrible cause were windy days and i was praying the stem endures, but if no probs now this stem should be stronger than ever ^^ Took that spiders from my house and put them in the plant, they are different species and eat all kind of bugs around, and one of them had babies so they are watchin for me thats sinergy haha Full moon is coming .... and last stretch, interesting, now she is like 1,6m tall, and she is going to make 3 months of life next week Good Vibes GD!!!!

This week Tangerine Dream Auto continued stacking up with a lot of nice flowers. I stoped with nitrogen last week. Now I concentrate on kali, potassium, silica, magnesia. I use only homemade fertilizers. Liquid manures, like from comfrey, nettle, field horsetail, banana peels, different bokashi juices made of fermented veggie and fruit waste and herbal flower tees. I need to canopy my plants this week on the balcony, cause we have high humidity and regular rain showers. So my plants get not so much sunshine these days, too cloudy.

Dropped seeds into water for 24 hours, and acclimated the fabric pots to the tents conditions. One 3gal, one 5gal, and one 7gal are going to be used for this grow to see the different outcomes of pot size.

I started her flushing this week. I think she wants another week to ripen so I don’t plan to chop her until next Saturday (29/2). She is still filling in the runs on her tops. Two weeks ago I wouldn’t have thought she could but there’s been plenty of calyx growth and the runs are nearly gone 😃.

Day 91 and all 4 plants have been on ripen for 8 days. That has helped speed up the lemon pie so I will get something from her. I spotted a good few what I think may be spring tails swimming in the res, as its near my res change and I'm flushing after that I'm not to worried about them. Pineapple express has been bulking all week and trichomes are all cloudy, she looks ace. Jack herer also bulked up a bit more, she has cloudy and a few amber trichomes, she is ready for the flush. Gorilla cookies has put on a little weight this week, her trichomes are cloudy and Amber and lots of them, she was ready to flush a few days ago really. Lemon pie the one that's looked poorly all the way through has turned into a Swan. Colours have come out nicely and bud production is coming on nicely, she could do with another 5 to 10 days before flushing but I'm finishing her with the others. 2 more days on ripen then I'm starting to flush. Not long left. Max 25.8deg Avg 22.1deg Min 17.2deg Max 59.6% Avg 47.4% Min 37.5%

Soil: BioBizz All•Mix Almost all products I use are from BioBizz. About a month before germinating I have wetted the soil to let the microbes start working. On January 1st I put some of this earth in 3 plastic cups with holes on the bottom. I wetted them with ph regulated water with H2O2 to kill most microbes, fungi and diseases. I inserted the seeds about 2cm deep and poured ~3ml water directly on top. I have a plastic dome that I wet 2 to 3 times a day to keep the humidity above 60%. It’s now day 5. I don’t water the soil, because it’s still very moist. Currently waiting for the roots to reach the bottom of the cups.

Week 2 Flower – Gelonade Run (Week 6 from Seed) The Gelonade girls are stepping gracefully into flower, evolving beautifully despite a very busy week on my end. Fewer photos this round, but I did capture a full-room video and some detailed shots of their stunning leaves, because even if time is short, the magic in the tent keeps on shining. Growth & Morphology Both phenos are showing their character. Gelonade #1 is vigorous and balanced, while Gelonade #2 is still carrying that special leaf mutation we talked about, leaves that open like a hand folding back into itself. I couldn’t resist photographing them again. They’re not just leaves, they’re little works of art. This week also saw the first defoliation of some of those big solar panels, just enough to keep airflow moving while still letting the girls power themselves. They took it in stride, no stress, only progression. Nutrient Program – Experiment in Motion The recipe shifted this week as we build momentum into flower. Start Booster is now replaced by Top Booster, and alongside Aptus staples (Regulator + CalMag Boost), I introduced a Plagron trio at 1 ml/L each: • Power Buds – to push flower initiation • Sugar Royal – to stimulate metabolism and resin potential • Green Sensation – a trusted all-in-one bloom enhancer The All-In-One Liquid remains on pause since the super soil and pellets are still carrying base NPK. Improvising? Yes. But with intention. I’ve had excellent results before with Plagron, and now I’m curious to see how their boosters synergize with Aptus. Environmental Conditions Temperatures are running a bit high (peaking at 34°C on hot days) and humidity has reached 60–70% at times. That pushes VPD to around 1.89 – not textbook perfect, but the Gelonades are adapting with grace. The TrolMaster WCS Substrate Sensor has been a game-changer here: it gives me live readouts of soil EC, moisture, and balance, all piped into the Tent-X brain. Watering is happening when moisture drops around 19–20%, promoting healthy wet/dry cycles and deeper root activity. Lighting & Room Setup The room is alive with tech. • Future of Grow Black Series 600 • ThinkGrow Model 1s • Lumatek Zeus 465w Compact Pro (newly added!) All tied into the TrolMaster ecosystem, letting me control light, extraction, sensors, and environment as one living system. Air exchange is handled by dual 6-inch extractors with carbon filters, plus a 6-inch intake, keeping fresh air circulating and smells contained. Looking Back, Looking Forward From a seed to now the Gelonades have been nothing but joy. Strong roots, vigorous structure, and personalities shining through. Flower initiation is just beginning, so no dramatic bud sites yet, but the stretch and structural shift are in full swing. Next week, I expect clear signs of pre-flowers stacking in. And because life in the garden always connects back to nature: this week I also captured a photo of a bee pollinating a flower outdoors. Bees are the true keepers of fertility on Earth, and just like them, we as growers are here to assist life in expressing itself fully. A little fairytale touch to remind us: without bees, there would be no Gelonade. ⸻ Plant Stats – Week 2 Flower / Week 6 from Seed • Height: ~50 cm • Temperature: 28–34°C • Humidity: 50–70% • VPD: ~1.89 kPa • EC: 0.6 • pH: 6.1 • Light: PPFD range 700–800 µmol/m²/s ⸻ ✨ The Gelonades are thriving. The leaves tell their own stories, the room hums with technology, and flower season is officially underway.

This plant is thriving in its 3rd week of vegetation—it’s growing very healthy and strong!🌱 I’ve applied some Light Stress Training (LST) to ensure all parts of the plant are receiving equal light exposure, and it’s responding beautifully. Midway through the week, I noticed the first signs of flowering! This plant is transitioning into bloom faster than expected, which is really exciting. It seems eager to show what it’s capable of. Now, I’m looking forward to seeing how it handles the stretch phase—I can’t wait to watch it shoot up and develop further.😊

Everything is still alive thankfully and smells fuckin tremendous. The pictures were taken on day 49 or 50. I'll probly start flushing some of them over the next week the citradellic are lookin close. They kinda all look close even tho I expected some 70 dayers with the mostly sativa crosses but I gotta get in there and check the trichs.
