Runtz Punch has been still giving me issues with the spotting. So I neem oil treated her 4 days ago. It looks like it stopped or slowed down. With the nitrogen toxicity she has been showing I was kinda afraid to do it. It tends to boost the nitrogen when sprayed. I did look for pest under 100 x magnification. I didn't see anything. Regardless, hopefully it is resolved. I might just treat the whole room here to be safe then sorry mid flowering. Beside that everything is still growing and making progress.

🌱 Lemon Cherry Gelato — Week 9 From Seed (Week 5 Flower) We move forward with our Lemon Cherry Gelato, now entering what we call Week 5 of flower (Week 9 from seed, 12/12 from start). This week brings something special — not one, but two expressions of the same genetic, grown side by side, each telling a slightly different story. The first Lemon Cherry Gelato remains untouched. No defoliation. Just observation, light guidance, and studio time. She stands full, natural, and honestly… stunning. The second Lemon Cherry Gelato took a different path — what started as a light clean-up turned into something closer to an “army-style haircut.” A full defoliation to open space, improve airflow, and allow light to penetrate deeper into the canopy. Two plants. Same genetics. Two approaches. Same goal — let them express. --- ### 🌿 How We Got Here This is a 12/12 from seed run, meaning these autoflower plants never experienced a traditional vegetative phase. From the start, they grew with the signal that time is limited — and that shows in their structure. Instead of wide, heavily branched vegetative growth, they focused early on vertical development and flower initiation. Now, in Week 5, we see the result: dense bud sites forming across a compact but highly productive structure. --- ### ✂️ Why We Defoliate (And Why We Didn’t — Yet) The room is getting full. Really full. The decision to defoliate the second plant came from necessity: • Improve airflow • Reduce humidity pockets • Increase light penetration • Redirect energy toward flower sites On the first plant, we chose patience. Sometimes doing nothing is also a decision. Next week, she may follow the same path — but for now, she shows us what happens when we simply let her be. --- ### 🌸 About Those White Hairs (Pistils) What you’re seeing across all those bud shots — those bright white hairs — are pistils. They are part of the female reproductive system of the plant. Their natural purpose is to catch pollen. But in our case, there is no pollination. So what happens? The plant continues producing more and more pistils, trying to fulfill that biological mission. At the same time, it increases resin production as a protective mechanism. This is exactly what we want. More pistils → more potential bud sites → more resin → better final expression. --- ### Feeding Strategy (Why This Mix Works) We keep the nutrition consistent and intentional: • Terra Bloom → Base nutrients for flowering • Green Sensation → PK booster + metabolic support • Power Buds → Encourages flower initiation and structure • Sugar Royal → Supports terpene and sugar production • Pure Zym → Enzyme activity, root zone health • CalMag → Stability under LED conditions Nothing excessive. Nothing random. Just a balanced system supporting what the plant is already trying to do. --- ### 🌡️ Environment & Plant Feedback Room conditions: • Temperature: ~28°C • Humidity: ~65% • CO₂: ~1000 ppm On paper, some might question these numbers. But we don’t grow on paper — we grow by reading the plant. We follow leaf behavior, transpiration, and overall response (leaf VPD in practice, not just charts). The plants are drinking ~1.5L per day, standing around 1.2m tall, and showing strong metabolic activity. That tells us everything we need to know. --- ### 🍃 Small Imperfections We noticed minor leaf burn from under-canopy LED exposure. Nothing serious — and most of it was naturally removed during defoliation on the second plant. A reminder: Not everything needs correction. Some things just need understanding. --- ### 🎭 Meet Mr. Baggy This week also marks the official arrival of Mr. Baggy. You may have seen him around already… but now he joins the journey properly. Part observer, part assistant, part silent chaos. Welcome to the crew. --- ### 🔮 What to Expect Next Week • Continued bud stacking • Increased density and structure • Possible defoliation of the first plant • Early signs of terpene development becoming more noticeable We are entering the phase where everything starts to connect. --- ### 🤝 Gratitude To everyone who passes by — The long-time supporters, the new ones, the curious minds, the silent observers. To the platform. To the partners. To those who love it and those who question it. All of you are part of this.

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.

small adorable deadly

Erfolgreicher Grow/ernte. Würde die Melonade Runtz jeder Zeit wieder machen. Einfach zu growender Strain der wunderschön aussieht!

All 5 seeds germinated nicely🙏🏼 This is our first grow so we are really excited🙌🏼

Prima settimana di fioritura e tutto procede bene ☺️ è impressionante come funziona bene advance nutrients....fanno il lavoro che devono.......

This will be a bit of a challenge, one of the LCC is 45cm while the others are 25cm. I gave them little ramps to keep canopy even and all 3 are still looking healthy.

Welcome Back!💚 Nach nun knappen 8 Wochen (56 Blütetagen) ist die Peach Frosting an ihrem Peak angelangt Die Pflanze hat eine eher schmale Blütenstruktur, bildet aber einen starken Trichomwald aus. Das süßes fruchtige Aroma wird durch einen etwas Basilikum ähnlichen Geruch abgerundet. Allerdings ist von den angegebenen Nuancen wie Pfirsich oder auch Vanille nichts wahrnehmbar. Doch der gewisse Wedding Cage Touch lässt sich erahnen. Die Werte im Zelt waren weiterhin passend. ——————— 🌞 Temp: 24°C 🌚 Temp: 20 °C 💨 RH: 56% VPD: 0,98 kPa 😎PPFD: 830 mqm ——————— Stay Tuned! 💚

Seid herzlich Willkommen zu meinem Bericht der Milky Way F1 Automatik von Royal Queen Seeds, einer Kreuzung von Blue Mammoth, Blue Dream, Sin Tra Bajo Auto und Ruderalis. Ich hatte die Milky Way als Hybriden in meiner Samenbank eingetragen und wegen des Schokoladengeschmacks in diesen Run aufgenommen. Das stimmt so allerdings nicht. Sie ist sogar eine 80% Indica, das erfährt man aber erst, wenn man das Video über diesen Strain ansieht. Dann wird die halt erst zum Abend gedampft. Tag -6: Zeit, den Growroom vorzubereiten. Im "Erdlager" reift die Sonnenerde vom letzten Indoorgrow schon einige Monate. Ich hatte sie mit Monster Bud Mix Living Soil und Hornspänen gefüttert, jetzt kommt noch aktivierte Pflanzenkohle von Jungle Vibes aus Freiburg dazu, Dann kommt die Erde in die Pötte. Nächstes Mal werde ich das wieder draussen machen und die Töpfe reintragen, gab 'ne ganz schöne Sauerei und ich konnte den Growroom nochmal putzen... Tag -3: Zeit, das automatische Bewässerungssystem zu testen. Ich erhoffe mir dadurch eine gleichmässigere Bewässerung, sowohl von der Menge als auch von der Temperatur des Giesswassers. Die restlichen Tropfer sind schon bestellt. Tag 0: Endlich ist es soweit, die Samen kommen in SmartStart Plugs von Zamnesia, die sich in Seedbooster Plus editiertem Wasser vollgesaugt hatten. Tag 5: 3 cm am ersten Tag, die Schale klebt noch dran.🌱 Tag 6: 6 cm am zweiten Tag, die ersten echten Blätter sind gut zu sehen. Sie geht ab. Da kann sie gleich angehäufelt werden. Schön, dass du dir mein Diarie ansiehst. Schau wieder rein, ich freu mich drüber 👋😎

Turned lights up to 400w

Beast of a plant really nice bud structure. Sad I burnt the leaves a little bit with nut

Harvested on day 94 / flowering 61 21 Grams of buds after manicure and drying. ------------------------------------------------------------ 🎪Harvest report in my 1M² box with 16 plants (5 strains): Total 291 grams of dry, manicured buds. I set myself a goal of at least 300 grams. So I'm not entirely satisfied on this point. I think in the next grow I will use other techniques , like LST, topping and larger pots to try to improve my yield!✌️☮️ ------------------------------------------------------------ 🔥❄️Drying : In my 1M² box 8 Days in the dark Temperature : 14-18°C Humidity : 50-75% Extractor+ carbon filter ON 24/24h ------------------------------------------------------------ 📜Links : 🌱Zamnesia Gelato seeds : https://www.zamnesia.fr/5671-zamnesia-seeds-gelato-feminisee.html Food for your plants 🔥🔥👍 https://www.greenhousefeeding.com/ 👨‍🚀My Instagram 🌱❤️️: https://www.instagram.com/hou_stone420/ --------------------------------- ☮️Thanks for your visit ! 💚☮️
