Late to add this week me and my son both came down with covid but I feel behind a little this week and will be playing catch up to next week. But for now here are a few photos.

Man these ladies are stacking javelins! Colas galore throughout their canopy. Sexy and healthy! 1 lady got a touch taller than the other 2. Shes been super cropped again to reduce her height and even out the canopy a bit. But the other 2 are getting quality exposure none the less. They got treated with Dr zhymes as a preventative. That will basically wrap up their treatments ...possibly once more with lost coast. Upped the pk intake as they are blooming strong now. Gotta keep those engines well fuelled. Response was stellar. Happy happy happy ladies. Unti next update. Happy growing and stay lit fam.

Was a great grow. 1 gram shy of a quarter pound plant. Can't complain about that. Thanks again sweet seeds for making this available to the public. Also thank you grow diaries community for the likes, follows, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel. I greatly appreciate the support. I am always open to questions, if I can help anyone. Happy growing and be safe out there 👍💨💨💨🙃

🌱✨ 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.

- Semana 4 🌱 🌡️ Ambiente Hemos mantenido el clima bastante estable durante toda la semana: 🌞 Con luz: 24–26 °C 🌙 Sin luz: 23–24 °C 💧 Humedad: 55–65% estable Actualmente estamos en 25 °C y 60% HR bastante constantes. Aumentamos extracción e intracción al 50%, unos 250 m³ ambos. 💡 Iluminación Potencia al 60%. PPFD medido con Photone: ~500 PPFD centro ~400 PPFD laterales Distancia media foco-plantas: entre 35–45 cm (según altura de cada planta). Hemos ido rotando: Cada planta sobre sí misma cada 24 h. Cambio de posición cada 3 días (las más altas a los laterales, las más bajas al centro). La diferencia entre centro y esquina es de unos 100–150 PPFD aproximadamente. 💧 Riegos y nutrición Esta semana hicimos: 🔹 Riego fuerte de limpieza 2,5 L por maceta pH 6,2 EC 0,8 (solo agua base, sin fertilizante) Drenaje superior al 30% en alguna para eliminar exceso de sales y estrés de las raíces. Decidimos hacerlo así para estabilizar después de notar que una de las BC reaccionó mal tras un riego anterior con abono. Regamos cada 2–3 días las que más comen y cada 4 días las menos hambrientas y estresadas. En semanas anteriores utilizamos base de crecimiento junto con: Silic Pro CO₂ Pro Los últimos días optamos por no añadir comida en el último riego para resetear un poco el medio. ✂️ Podas y estructura Hemos hecho poda ligera y estratégica: 2–3 hojas por planta. Eliminación de hojas que bloqueaban nudos. Nada agresivo. Los nudos están muy juntos, entrenudos compactos y tallos gruesos. 📊 Estado por grupos Actualmente tenemos: 1 BC muy fuerte (~30 cm). 1 planta sobre 26 cm (podada). 4–5 plantas sobre 17 cm. 1 planta de 23 cm que estuvo tocada de raíces. 3 más jóvenes creciendo bien. 1 BC con un poco de estrés y acumulación de sales. El canopy está bastante homogéneo dentro de lo razonable por fenotipos distintos. ⚠️ La BC amarilla Esta es la planta que más atención ha requerido. Síntomas que presentó: Verde lima general. Amarilleo en hojas bajas. Algunas puntas quemadas. Decaimiento leve. Hojas inferiores que se volvieron crujientes. Crecimiento más lento que el resto. Lo curioso es que esta planta siempre fue más clara desde el inicio, incluso antes del trasplante. Después de un riego con fertilizante, empeoró ligeramente, por eso decidimos hacer el riego solo con agua EC 0,8 y buen drenaje. Actualmente: No está empeorando. Tiene más de 6 brotes activos. Las hojas nuevas salen verde claro y luego oscurecen. Solo amarillean las más bajas. Va más lenta, pero estructuralmente está viva y trabajando. 📈 Crecimiento Algo importante: En altura no han crecido casi en la última semana. Se han quedado prácticamente igual. Pero: Muchísimos nudos. Troncos gruesos. Ramificación fuerte. Estructura compacta. 🎯 Conclusión de la semana Semana de estabilización. Clima estable. Luz controlada. Riego ajustado. Poda ligera. Observación de la BC problemática. El cultivo está sano en general. Compacto, estructurado y con mucha ramificación. La BC lenta sigue bajo vigilancia. 🌿👀 Veremos el progreso la siguiente semana. Saludos compis y buenas vibras 🐭

3-11-2019 This Northern is slowly bouncing back but the damage has been done, she is producing but not how I would like it. Hopefully she will produce some tight buds. 5-11-2019 Pump Quit- Not much I can do at this point other than go it as Deep Water Culture. Root mass is to well established to attempt a removal.

She looks totally awesome check out her leaves and side growth!!!! No sign whatsoever of male flowers from my S1 seeds!

I really can’t believe it’s 63 days from my baby’s showed there first set of “ true “ leaves :) .. It’s been a pretty straight forward grow no complications, well so far haha , but working in soil and feeding organically with biobizz it’s rare to get any problems . And off course Good genetics from a trustworthy breeder always helps keep problems at a minimum as well . All the girls in my growroom ( I say room it’s a cupboard) are loving the new leds but the C4 from Fastbuds is out preforming In speed , size , smell and at the minute yield :) , the closest to her would be another fastbuds lady the Gelato that’s been slugging away in the corner And seems to be one to watch .. Anyway at a guess I would say another few days a week at most and I will harvesting the C4 Matic :)

Tapering nutes off for the flush. Also added a small amount of Barley as a top dress to help her finish off.

🌞 The week started with moderate (25°C) summer temperatures 🌡️🌡️🌡️ But the day before yesterday and yesterday we had hot (+25°C) temperatures again 🌶️🌶️🌶️ Fourth week of Light Deprivation 👉👉👉👉Every morning at 9:00 am I move the plants to the greenhouse. 👉👉👉👉Every evening at 9:00 pm I move the plants (together with some other strains) inside the growroom (which I don't use in the summer) ➡️ The buds are filling up, more and more trichomes, and every day they start to smell stronger 👃👃👃 👉Once this week I boost the plants with gift of water enriched with OPF 7:2:3 ; Fulvic 25 ; Yuccah ; Biovin liquid ; Earthworm compost extract ⭐Big Thanks to Luc from Plant Health Solutions / Bioplantenvoeding dot nl ⭐ Plant #1 ; height : 154 cm Plant #2 ; height : 138 cm Plant #3 ; height : 136 cm

1-11 At the end of the day i chopped her down, did a small wet trim removing some big leaves, and hang the buds to dry. 2-11 Temps: 19.3 to 20.5 degrees Humidity: 55% to 64% 3-11 Temps: 17.1 to 20.4 degrees Humidity: 54% to 66% 4-11 Temps: 18.1 to 19.6 degrees Humidity: 62% to 66% 5-11 Temps: 17.9 to 20.1 degrees Humidity: 56% to 64% 6-11 Temps: 17.6 to 19.4 degrees Humidity: 59% to 67% 7-11 Temps: 17.8 to 19.2 degrees Humidity: 60% to 66% 8-11 Temps: 17.4 to 19.9 degrees Humidity: 58% to 67% 9-11 Temps: 17.8 to 20.1 degrees Humidity: 62% to 64% 10-11 Temps: 18.2 to 20.5 degrees Humidity: 62% to 65% 11-11 Temps: 18.7 to 20.4 degrees Humidity: 57% to 65% 12-11 Temps: 18 to 20.1 degrees Humidity: 54% to 66% 13-11 Temps: 17.8 to 20.2 degrees Humidity: 61% to 67% Started trimming today. 14-11 Finished trimming. I was afraid of finding a lot of budrot, luckily it was only the one cola. The buds are very frosty, the bottom at the base of the branch looks a bit brownish on some buds, i inspected it with a microscope and didnt find any mold or weird things. There are a lot of amber trichomes tho. I think that's why it looks brown like that. It smells and smokes good, so i think its fine. If someone thinks otherwise, let me know! End results: Buds: 92 Grams Small Buds: 18 Grams Trim: 16.7 Grams Total weight of the buds: 110 Grams. I calculated that i used a total of 72.3 watts this grow, that makes it 1.52 grams per watt! Very happy with the end results, and its by far my personal record hahaha.

Papaya cookies are incredible! All the pistils turn purple, incredible beauty of this plant. We are so happy to have caught this extraordinary phenotype and are looking forward to an early harvest in about 2 weeks time.

This slurricane 7 is kind of a weak bitch. Was a pretty smooth week for most the girls. Showing some steady growth. I topped all of the plants around day 12 other than the slurricane 7. Ph got a little high since the nutrient level was too low to buffer it at the beginning of the week. Slurricane 7 and sugar cane are the ones that took some damage. I think they will be ok though. I upped the nutrients to 1/4 tsp per gallon and the ph has held stable since then. Should be able to start some training the middle of next week and looks like we might be going 2 more weeks on veg before flipping them to flower depending on how this upcoming week goes. Guess you will have to show up next week to find out...

Harvest day 62 since time switch to 12 / 12 h Hey guys :-) Finally it's time 💚 The lady is done the large leaves have been removed and hung upside down to dry in the dark drying room. You can now stay there for 13-15 days at a temperature of 16-18 degrees and 55-59% humidity. After 13-15 days it is neatly trimmed by hand and placed in jars with boveda packs 62. After 4 weeks Boveda 58% come in and are ready for testing ;-). After everything has been cut cleanly, the last update comes with the smoke report and the finished pictures. Let's get to the plant 💚. Unfortunately, the rating system at Growdiaries is a bit strange because I have to give the stars before the Smoke Report and in the end it might have led to more stars in terms of taste. . The smell is great I'm curious about the taste 💚 Have fun and stay healthy 💚🙏🏻 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 ‘Powered by GreenHouse Feeding’ Copy the link for 10% off all Nutrients 👇🏼 http://shop.greenhousefeeding.com/ affiliate/madelngermany_passiongrower/ 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 Water 💧 💧💧 Osmosis water mixed with Cal/Mag (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 290 ppm and Ph with Ph- to 5.8 - 6.4 MadeInGermany

Both frosty and have big nugs. It did go into reveg in late flower but managed to save it before it went awol! Not as good as last time but hopefully tastes like it smells 🏆🌱💚

There's one plant that isn't growing like the others and I can't find the reason. Despite that, this week went ok.

03/17/2022 9 weeks today 63 days Time to break out my loupe to inspect for ripeness 😆✌️🏻seeds are loaded in tops l, so lower buds will be my focus.

15th week for my 3 girls The buds are swelling day by day, the trichos are quite milky. The nute burn gave me a hard time... (see video) I managed to regulate the pH of the affected plant, before the flowers were also affected by the burn; I take care to decrease the humidity and to ventilate well to avoid the moulding of the burnt leaves. I was going to do a final watering with fertiliser before starting a 10-15 day flush; plant B will only get clear water ;) I'm too close to get rid of it; I'll keep a close eye on it, and if necessary I'll harvest it before the others. I'm still confident: it will produce maybe less than the others, but its power shouldn't be affected too much.

======NOV 4 | DAY 22====== She is a bit different of predominat sativas, leaves are bigger. Today I increase some humus and some peat. ======NOV 5 | DAY 23====== LST her today ======NOV 8 | DAY 26====== 2 more LST HOOKS ======NOV 10 | DAY 28====== I hid some leaves below the main branches
