🌱✨ Gelonade — Seed to Harvest & Smoke Review Grower: DogDoctor Strain: Gelonade (Feminized) Grow Type: Indoor (Tent – LED setup) Cycle Duration: ~13 weeks total (8–9 weeks flowering) Phenotypes: #1 and #2 Environment: Controlled by TrolMaster Ecosystem Lighting: Future of Grow Black Series 600 & ThinkGrow Model 1 Medium: Super Soil (Aptus Holland Amendments) Nutrients: Aptus + Plagron Final Yields: • Pheno #1: 146g dry cured (Grove Bags) • Pheno #2: 159g dry cured (Glass Jars) ⸻ 🌾 From Seed to Strength Our Gelonade journey began with delicate germination — a simple soak in plain water using The Cannakan method, ensuring the seeds awakened slowly and evenly. After 24 hours, they sprouted into life, soon meeting their first home in rich, Aptus-enhanced super soil, carefully inoculated with mycorrhizae and buffered for perfect balance. As seedlings, they thrived under the Black Series 600 LED, their leaves drinking in the full-spectrum light like morning sun on a quiet field. Through their early weeks, the mix of Regulator, Start Booster, and tender care built strong frames and healthy roots. Week after week, they evolved — into vegetative vigor, then into flowering elegance. Their structure hinted at their genetics: 60% sativa, 40% indica — tall, branching, graceful, yet dense. Pheno #2 became our unicorn, flaunting her funky fox-tailed buds and mutated, hand-like leaves — a masterpiece of nature’s playful genetics. ⸻ 🌼 The Flowering Weeks By week 5 flower, the room bloomed with energy. PPFD at 766 µmol/m²/s, temperatures near 31°C, and VPD around 2.2 — conditions that might challenge weaker genetics, but Gelonade only glowed brighter. We refined her diet: • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml/L • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml/L • Aptus All-In-One Liquid – 1 ml/L • Aptus Top Booster – 0.25 ml/L • Plagron Power Buds, Sugar Royal & Green Sensation – 1 ml/L each This powerful synergy built not just flowers — but living sculptures of resin, terpenes, and color. The TrolMaster WCS2 sensors read the heart of the soil — moisture, EC, and temperature — guiding every watering and feeding to perfect rhythm. ⸻ 🍃 The Science of Drying — Why Whole Plants Harvest came at week 12–13 total, roughly 8–9 weeks in flower. The girls stood proud, covered in trichomes, signaling it was time. We harvested whole plants, hanging them upside down in the dark to dry slowly — preserving terpenes and chlorophyll breakdown naturally. Why full-plant drying? Because leaving the plant intact slows the drying process. The inner moisture in stems and leaves redistributes evenly, preventing harsh chlorophyll notes. This method also preserves volatile terpenes — especially important for Gelonade’s citrus-forward profile. It took two full weeks before the branches “snapped,” a sign of perfect dryness — the balance between crispness and internal moisture. ⸻ ✂️ The Art of Hand Trimming Once dry, we trimmed with Zamnesia curved professional scissors, our Trim Bin, and — most importantly — our hands. Why hand trim? Because machines can never see what the eyes feel — the perfect curl of a sugar leaf, the trichome sparkle worth saving. Hand trimming keeps the resin glands intact, preserving aroma, texture, and bag appeal. It’s slower, but sacred — the final love letter between grower and flower. The trim collected beneath the bin was later pressed gently into hash bars using a hot-water bottle method — pure pressure and warmth, no solvent. The science: The heat softens trichome heads (resin glands), allowing them to fuse together under pressure — forming a natural, terpene-rich concentrate. ⸻ 🌬️ The Curing — Glass Jars vs Grove Bags After trimming, we divided our treasures: • Pheno #1 (146g) cured in Grove Bags – a modern, low-maintenance solution that self-regulates humidity (~62%), keeping buds stable and fresh without constant burping. • Pheno #2 (159g) cured in Glass Jars – the traditional, hands-on approach. We burped the jars daily during the first two weeks, allowing gas exchange and flavor maturation. Science of curing: Curing continues the slow enzymatic breakdown of residual sugars and chlorophyll, smoothing the smoke and deepening terpenes. The difference? Glass develops depth — that old-school flavor complexity — while Grove Bags preserve freshness and consistency. Both are beautiful paths to perfection. ⸻ 🌺 Genetics & Aromas — The Gelonade Signature Gelonade is a masterpiece of Lemon Tree × Gelato #41, combining sweet citrus brightness with creamy dessert undertones. The aroma: Sweet citrus candy, tangy lemon zest, and a whisper of black pepper. The flavor: Like sipping lemonade through a gelato cloud — refreshing, smooth, and joyfully bright. ⸻ 💨 Smoke Review — The Dream in a Dream Lighting the first cured bowl was like opening a memory. The smoke is silky, expanding gently in the lungs. The taste starts citrusy-sweet, then mellows into earthy vanilla-pepper. The high? A sunrise in slow motion — uplifting, creative, euphoric. Happiness washes in waves, followed by peace that lingers in the chest. Perfect daytime medicine, yet balanced enough for evening reflection. Pheno #1 brings clarity and laughter; Pheno #2 brings stillness and grace. Together, they mirror duality — the head and the heart in perfect balance. ⸻ 🌿 Closing Reflections From seed to harvest, this grow has been a story of learning, patience, and passion. Every leaf told a story, every sensor reading a verse, every trichome a spark of life. Thank you to the community, to Zamnesia, Aptus Holland, Plagron, TrolMaster, and all who share love for the craft. And thank you to the haters, too — because growth blooms brightest through resistance. This grow was more than cultivation. It was a dream in a dream.

Alright, the time is here, I’ve started the harvest but I don’t want to press the harvest button until I have all my info correct, but I’ll show some photos from my baby, we started a slow 6.0 flush about 2 weeks ago and finishing flush about 4 days ago. She was already fading but I had some problems since I fed her without thinking after having some drinks witch is obviously a very rookie move. But as I’m still learning it’s just another oof under the bridge, she was fading and I got some nice looking tricombs and I’m happy with the smell and size for her life cycle, I’m aiming for a slow dry and cure but my space is limited in my appointment and grow room so I have a drying tent set up but conditions could be hard to handle since the season change. Cheers. (And yes I didn’t wanna flush my auto but I figured it was the safest route.)

Wow she went crazy this week! A big change from last week. Lets see how long she will keep growing! 💪

Getting tall. I have light wind blowing on it to strengthen the stem because it will be going outside. I think I'll need to start training it early.

Not too much to report here . Added 3 new pieces of “equipment” 1. Plant watering saucers 2. Small electric dehumidifier 3. Even smaller non-electric dehumidifier Anywho , still only watering when dry with PH’d water & LSTing . The growth rate I would describe as moderate . One of the 3 GDPs have thrown preflower pistals at the very end of week 3 which is disappointing but I’ll trudge on & try & get 5 minimum 4 solid weeks of veg out of the other two . That’s pretty much all to report , another week in the books 📚 here at the GreeneScene

another resin monster from seedstockers, with a very special scent, full of flavors! grinded it smelled like peppermint, and vaped it has a great sweet creamy taste!

10/05/2023 - She´s growing well, i left her growing 2 days. Now i´m aplpying more LST and start to question: Should i top her once more? I´ll let her grow a bit more and watch. Also noticed a deficiency, i think it´s copper excess due to Acti-vera or Root Juice. Next feeding i´ll cut on Acti-Vera and give half of Root-Juice. 12/05/2023 (Day 30) - She´s growing well, won´t feed her yet as the soil is still moist. Thinking about HST already, but i´ll let her grow a bit more This week arrived my Plagron Sugar Royal, so i´ll add it aswell :) Day 31 - Today i noticed some more healthy new growth so i decided to top her again and LST´d just a bit Day 32 - Didnt feed her yet, soil looks dry but pot is pretty heavy. Also her leafs are touching the soil so i dont want it to be moist. Day 35 - Slightly LST

das sind die bilder der letzten ca. 2 wochen… ab jetzt gibts passende infos zu den bildern ;)

Plants are taking off but started showing signs of stress not for sure what the issue it is but since I’ve noticed I moved the light up and have only been giving clean water phed to around 6.5 I’m watching new growth to seen if the stress has lightened up

Cosechamos, luego cuando seque les comento cuanto sacamos de esta planta. Un buena experiencia de cultivo invernal, complicado pero luego le encontramos la vuelta. Mimosa no le gusta mucha intensidad de luz en vegetativo, y le gusta poca agua. En flora si come un monton y banca bastante.

****She's now Eleven weeks old, I water her 5L a day with with 5ml/L Terra Bloom . The co2 will stay 1600 ppm .Week 12 starts (2/02/2025) tomorrow .Im still aint using a heater on my attic so Im now using less electricity then my growths. She growth again approx 4cm in bud height in one week so im happy .Wish you all a nice Sunday and hope that you will have a nice week a front of you ! 🙏😘♥️💚♥️💚♥️ ** Hello everyone! I am proud to announce that I have been asked to grow a seed of choice from Zamnesia. My choice fell on the Tropicana Cookies Autoflower (Zamnesia Seeds) feminized strain. Strain info https://www.zamnesia.com/10922-zamnesia-seeds-tropicana-cookies-automatic.html I hope you will enjoy this new grow just like I will do. Let's set another record for this strain, just like with the previous strain.👌 ENVIROMENT: **It took her seven days to poke her head above the ground. It's probably my fault, because I was impatient and planted her too soon, as she hadn't even reached half an inch of root. All in all, she looks healthy, and I'm happy with the result. I'll be more patient in the future, but I was too enthusiastic to start a new diary after a five-month absence from GD 😅😅** Light schedule : 24/0 Humidity : 50% Soilmoisture : 42% Temp : 26 Celsius Who am i ? I have always grown hydro for a little over 11 years. But growing started to look more and more like work because i was more busy with programming my controllers for the ph / humidity / lights / co2 / temperature. Also the realization that i have 2 children and my own house made me nervous for the authorities because where i live growing is not allowed. So i decided to grow smaller where i previously had 200x180x200 space i opted for 70x70x160 with the result that i can only grow 1 strain at a time. The intention is to remain self-sufficient in this way and still be able to exchange or give away something here and there at a party. Although I am sponsored I will not be able to grow every strain because not every strain can deliver the result I need to remain self-sufficient. If you know of an auto strain or photo strain that takes at least 11 to 15 weeks I would like to know so that I can grow it in the future and of course I will try to set a record for that grown strain. Because during the 4 grows that I can do per year I can only try to achieve a record since I cannot show you multiple strains at once. I am happy that after 11 years I have found growdiaries and that I have met you my friends.Greetings MonyetDiablero.

Ok, so this week I did the initial flush and from now on going to be only giving her plain water. The plant has gotten a bit more swollen with a bunch more trichomes than it had before everything is still looking pretty nice to me no problems that I can see but this ain't the end yet so we will see how this next week goes over pce✌️

J'ai l'impression que mes premier culture . Tailler trés jeune et sans engrais était plus jolie

Back to the Grow PH was at 7 when the pots were dry and returns to 6.5 after the feeding. I'll let the foliage build one more time so I can transplant into their 7 gal pots for flowering, this will add a tremendous amount of new fresh soil for the roots to thrive in during the early budding stage lights up to 95w about 60% on the dimmer. I hope you are having a great holiday season and a very happy grow. 114w after a series of jumps this week. plants reacted well and I'll continue to bring the watts up for the next few weeks so they're ready for fllower 12/29 plants went into their 7 gal pots

Okay growmies here we are at the end of our cream cookies by fast buds. It was such a pleasure to grow, i learned so so so much this run that will help me through the rest of my adventures. The beginning was tough as i am new i over watered and did not ph the water and what i mistake. But its okay i learned. She bounced back like nothing and produced these awesome buds and beautiful smoke for me. Watching her change colour and grow was amazing. It was topped and lst, she reacted amazing to it and grew more and more. Fast buds has not let me down. I cant wait to grow her again and see what happens next time! I washed the trim and made bubble hash with it! Pressed some of the flower to make some rosen!!!
