🍋 Lemon Cherry Gelato — Week 7 from Seed Flower Week 3 | 12/12 from Seed Welcome back everyone — and welcome to anyone just joining the journey 👋 This is our Lemon Cherry Gelato update, currently Week 7 from seed, which we’re considering Flower Week 3 in our 12/12-from-seed room. There’s a lot to talk about this week, so let’s start by bringing everyone up to speed. ⸻ 🌱 Quick Recap — How We Got Here This run is part of a larger 8×8 mixed-genetics environment, where multiple cultivars share the same room, light strategy, and environment. The approach from day one has been: • low stress • observational • plant-led decisions • learning in real time No chasing perfection — just paying attention. The Lemon Cherry Gelato plants have been vigorous and very bushy since early on, with strong branching and dense foliage that required intervention as flower development began to accelerate. ⸻ ✂️ Defoliation — Why This Week, Why This Way This week we performed a fairly deep defoliation, similar to what was done on a few other girls in the room. Why? • The plants were extremely bushy • Light penetration was becoming limited • Airflow needed improvement • Bud sites were stacking fast We removed a significant amount of inner and overlapping foliage to: • allow photons to pass through the canopy • improve airflow • help the plant focus energy where it matters It may look aggressive in photos, but it was done intentionally and carefully. ⸻ 🌿 Plant Structure & Phenotypes You’ll notice two slightly different expressions in the photos: • First photos → Lemon Cherry Gelato • Second one → what we’re calling the “other” Cherry Gelato Both plants: • very bushy • beautifully structured • incredibly lush green One plant showed some funky leaf expressions, but nothing concerning — genetics being genetics. Both were defoliated deeply, but not excessively — just enough to give them room to breathe. They are not alone in the room, and in a shared environment, balance matters. ⸻ 🔥 Minor Observations • A few burned leaves from under-canopy lighting • Nothing serious • Easily managed • Already addressed You’ll spot them in some of the mini photos. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment & Feeding — Why We Changed Nothing This week, nothing was changed on purpose. Current parameters: • Day temperature: ~28 °C • Relative Humidity: ~65% • EC: 2.4 • pH: 6.5 • Plant height: ~40 cm to ~80 cm • Lighting: LED Many growers would say these temperatures are too high for flower — but context matters. Under LED lighting, leaf surface temperature runs ~2–4 °C cooler than ambient room temperature. Because of that, we focus on leaf VPD, not room VPD. The plant is what matters — not the number on the wall. We are not chasing numbers. We are paying attention to them. ⸻ 🌱 Plant Response The plants are telling us clearly that they’re happy: • deep, lush green foliage • no visible stress • strong internodal structure • uniform nutrient uptake across phenotypes When the plant is happy, stability beats adjustment. That’s why the feeding stayed exactly the same this week. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect (and Not Expect) Next Week What we expect: • visible bud stacking • calyx development accelerating • stretch slowing down • energy shifting fully into flower production What we don’t expect: • major environmental changes • aggressive interventions • unnecessary corrections Next week is about watching, listening, and letting the plants work. ⸻ 🙏 Final Words To our humble eyes, this garden is looking outstanding — but we’re always open to: • criticism • suggestions • questions • different perspectives Lovers, haters, followers, OGs, newcomers — everyone is welcome here. This is a shared space, and interaction is how we all grow.

As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together. With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

Sorry been away for so long. Been super busy at home and at work. Had turned my favorite pheno of the zkittz berry ade and turned into mother

Nice

WEEK 12 - FLOWERING: Resin Production Peak ​🌼 FLOWERING PROGRESS Entering Week 8 of flower, the Papayton shows significant trichome coverage. Environmental parameters are kept at a VPD of 1.71 kPa. The buds are well-developed and are beginning to display light purple shades. The plant is showing a natural progression into the late flowering stage. ​👃 TERPENES & AROMA The aroma is a combination of sweet papaya and creamy, gelato like notes. The scent is balanced and complex. ​💧 NUTRIENT FEEDING & WATERING Feeding remains at 1.67L according to the BioBizz schedule. Two more feedings are scheduled for this week before moving into the final ripening phase. ​Current Feeding Schedule: Calmag: 0.5 ml/l Acti-Vera: 5 ml/l Bio-Heaven: 5 ml/l Bio-Bloom: 4 ml/l Top-Max: 5 ml/l Bio-Grow: 1 ml/l ​💭 GROWER'S NOTE Week 12. Environment is dialed in (VPD 1.71 kPa). Strong resin production and a stable terpene profile. The first purple tones are becoming visible. Development is consistent with the genetics.

Loving the way she is coming along. Gonna try to keep her in veg until banana kush is harvested. Flower tent is 4x2, and having success so far shaping her for it specifically. Photos/video taken 47 days after breaking soil.

Day 25 Second topping 🤒🤕

Hola a todo el mundo!. Esta semana he regado con 2 ml x litro de agua de top bloom y top candy de @TopCrop . Solo eso.luego regue con agua. Siempre el ph de riego es de 6.3 - 6.4

First glimpse it’s perfect. Now I will cure the buds in a jar

Lemon Cherry Gelato had a significant stretch, but the flowers are still very small. I decided to eliminate the Lemon clones because I’m not satisfied with the way this phenotype grows. ============================================================= Legend: 📅 DATE ​🗓️ ​DAY (StageWeek / Day) 🌡️ VPD ​​💨 CO2 💧 WATER ADDED 🥗 FOOD ADDED ⚗️ EC 🔬​PH (adjustements) 🛠️​ ACTIONS 📋 NOTES​ 📅​🗓️​🌡️​​💨💧🥗⚗️🔬​🛠️📋

Plantas sanas creciendo a full. Satisfecho hasta el momento con el resultado.

d14 Se las ve más pobladas, parece que no les ha causado mucho estrés por lo que han continuado creciendo y lo que yo quería, ahora las ramas laterales, reciben mejor la luz y están creciendo bien. Tienen buena estructura la mayoría, son bastante simétricas. Semillas a granel y ya veis la calidad que tienen, no son super estables porque no se parecen tanto entre ellas, pero no son malos ejemplares, en cuanto a estructura. Tenemos las plantas del fondo, la zona donde está dando el ventilador, y me he dado cuenta que esas plantas tienen algunas hojas medio amarillas y blanditas, parece ser que se han creado alguna bolsa de humedad, necesitaré un ventilador más para que no pasen estas cosas. También he mirado un poco algunas plantas y tienen lo que viene a ser la primera rama satélite, pues es muy fina y no ha crecido en altura para poder recibir luz, por lo tanto se cortarán estas ramas.ç PD: Si se ve una semilla germinada en una maceta, es una 1024 que se quedo en la tierra y parece que le cuesta mucho, pero que nunca se rinde. d15 Algunas tienen un callo bastante gordo en la unión de las ramas satélite. Se han cortado las ramas de abajo del todo, primeras satélite de algunas plantas ya que no les da la luz y no nos van a hacer falta.

Just an absolute beast. Thank God it is the last week of veg, theres nowhere left to go but up. About 3 feet now and should finish around 6 feet. Will be quite a feat for a small space, its sharing a 2x4 with another mother slightly shorter. May need to tie down in flower if it overtakes the other

Welcome to Ultimate Auto Grow by PoshGrow! 🍀 Week #2 2020 September 7th. - 14th. General Info: When planted: 2020 September 1st. Week: 2 Days: 7 - 14 Last Update Day: 2020 September 14th. Plants: 4 x OG Kush Auto 3 x Amnesia Auto 5 xAlaskan Purple Auto 2 x Blueberry Auto 1 x Northern Lights Auto Total: 15 girls. NOTICE: Check week 1 for full equipment list! Comment: Welcome boys and girls to Season #2 by PoshGrow! So alongside my 1sq. meter tent I got my new 2nd tent and setup. So at this time i will be running 2 tents. So this week not much to say, girls doing great, all 15 of them. But I noticed few small flies around my pots, fungus gnats to be exact. So I let all pots to fully dry, removed abit of top soil and covered with some stone gravel. Also placed sticky traps to completly get rid of them motherf***ers. Watering every 2 days with pH corrected water. Upcoming week going to introduce to first feeding. Going to use GHE Trio for the first time, schedule borrowed from #FromSeedToStoned youtube channel. Stay tuned and happy growing! ✌️

In only 55 days from Seed to Harvest I grew Fast Buds LEmon Cherry Cookies while being on the road. She is the fastest Plant I ever grew and the Danf Box and Bio Tabs made it super easy.

Trx to 1 gallon pots

I think that all is going well. One of my lilluns is bigger than the others but they all seem healthy.

Not much to update. Buds stacking nicely.
