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 is such a long week ! It has been raining heavily for 5 days (like non stop raining ) which causes the humidity in the room to rise and the temp dropped fast. Not so sure if the red stem was caused by the temp drop or not. The humidity level rose to 85% which worries me very much . Even the small dehumidifier doesn’t seem to help. This could potentially causes me more problems such as bus rotting . Let’s hope after the rain the RH is going back to normal. For this week really nothing much but i will have to increase the PPM level of the medium cuz i can see a lot of bud sites forming up but struggling to get dense LOL 😤😤 “BUT” i can’t adjust the PPM now because i broke my TDS meter by dropping it into the water . Silly me ! I want to give a piece of advice for you guys out there , NEVER buy a non waterproof TDS meter .Just think about it , the equipment is a water measurement tool but it is not waterproof . Trust me , just buy the waterproof ones so you don’t have to reinvest again 🚫🚫 **I am in week 4 of flowering is it weird that i can’t see any trichomes yet?**

6/23 Due To The Two 8 Day weeks this week will only consist of five days to get me back on track. SEE LAST WEEK FOR DETAILS. I DID ANOTHER EIGHT DAY WEEK. I'LL DO THIS WEEK AS SIX DAYS. THAT WAY IM BACK ON SCHEDULE. WATERED 6/22. WENT BACK AT NIGHTCAND WATERED ANOTHER GALLON WITH 1/3 TSP Armor Si. I mixed the solution with kelp you kelp me but I dumped it out. I've mixed silica with other nutes before but I had read something earlier about bioavailability issues and I didn't want to risk it. My plants are the healthiest I've ever grown. I'm considering transplanting the large 10th planet that I'm light depping. I also need to develop my ipm and my nute schedule. Still gonna have to keep an eye onvthe water situation. Luckily I have a buddy in my corner that's co tinualkt Bern a great help. WENT BACK OVER AROUND NOON. BEAUTIFUL OUTSIDE AND THE PLANTS WERE LOVING THIS SUN. I DEFOLIATED SOME BURNED LEAVES AND MIXED A SOLUTION IF KELP ME KELP YOU THAT I PLAN TO FEED TO THE GARDEN TODAY. IM HAPPY WITH HOW THINGS ARE GOING. WE HAVE SOME RAIN AND THINDERSTORMS COMING. I NEED TO GET MY IPM UP AND RUNNING AND THE NUTES ONLINE. I ALSO NEED TO DECIDE IF IM GOING TO TRANSPLANT THE LIGHT DEP 10th PLANET. Went back over to put the girls to bed at six and if was still 90 degrees. The water from yesterday had dissipated. The tops were dust dry. I mixed two gallons of kelp you kelp me and fed it to the garden. Afterwards I pointed qbd found a couple plants that were more open to the wind were a little lighter. I know tomorrow will be very hot. Maybe quarter inch of rain. However after that it will rain (showers) off and on for days. I wanted to make sure the girls had what the needed to make it through tjis heat wave until they get that rain. I had another gallon mixed up and I'm thinking I should've given it to them. Oh well. I'd rather underwater than overwater any day. I did notice a burnt top on the plant furthest from the tarp that the sun JUST BARELY TOUCHES when the rest are in shade. I'll just raise the tarp a little. These are tiny problems. Can't upload video until tomorrow. 6/24 Good thing u gave the plants that water. I know it wasn't much but we didn't get any rain. Suppised to get a qtr in today and another qtr in tomorrow. Then rain a couple more days. It's working our really good for my watering schedule lol. Yesterday the girls got there first dose of a bottled nute. They got two gallons of kelp me kelp you (1/3 tsp per gallon) and another gallon of just phed water. I was going to do another gallon but held off due to the threat of syring rain. Didn't get it bur it looks like the plants loved the kelp. It had reached 90 yesterday. They look better today. It's 70 at 9 today. I LST the 10th planet in the 3 gallon. It's getting huge. I should start a separate diary for those three light dep plants. Its cool as hell watching this. One of the purple punches is flowering pretty good. I probably should start another diary for them. I'll be starting to feed my plants soon. Wondering if I should pinch plants again. TUCKED THE LITTLE GIRLS IN AT SIX AND SHOT A VIDEO AND TOOK SOME PUCTURES. PLANTS LOOKED PHENOMINAL! GOT HOME AND AROUND SEVEN IT JUST STARTED RORREBTIAL DOWNPOURS! THE TYPE OF RAIN THAT BREAKS STEMS. I SHOULDVE PUT MY OTHET TARP UP BUT I DIDNT. I WISH I HAD. IM A LITTLE NERVOUS. I KNOW THESE GIRLS ARE STRONG THOUGH! TOMORROW. ILL ROLL THE RARP UP AND SECURE THE BOTTOM FOR FAST ACCESS. IM ALSO GOING TO KOOK INTO FINDING A TOP FOR MY CAGE I CAN USE IN INCLIMENT WEATHER. 6/25 That little qtr in of rain we were supposed to get turned into torrential downpours and high winds. Luckily no REAL damage. If you watch the video you'll see what I mean. I'm going to havecto be cognizant moving forward. Noticed a few chunks from leaves butvplants are still healthy. I'm surprised how well these girls withstood this storm. They are certainly resilient. The 2 purple punch 1 10th planet that I'm light depping are flowering nicely now. They missed all the commotion from the storm as they were inside. It's smelling good. I'm happy. 6/26 It's what a friend would say is "maineing") out. That mistcthe plants love. I'm surprised the plants are doing as good as they have been considering the wind. Will be adding nutes soon. Need to add extra supports too. Light dep 6/27 Brief periods or torrential downpours. Light depped 3 gallon 0lants are under an overhanfcwhete the hatsxrain can't hurt them but they still get sun. They are really starting to flower now! I'm going to begin feeding with a base nute and a flower nute I think. I'm thinking about giving the light dep some open sesame or something similar. I need to set up a nute program soon but the plants ALL look so healthy! And it's been raining! I've only watered like once or twice since they've been in the big pots. I've seen zero pests aside from a chunk missing from a grasshopper. Usually by now I'd have battled half a dozen things and be battling another half dozen. However I was posing from clones. These are seeds and boy don't I see the difference!

Beautiful strain to grow I'll say it 1 thousand times. Super sweet and floral aroma, very frosty and dense hard flowers, the exact same smell that her sisters have, I love to grow black cherry punch and hope I can keep doing so. This lady is one of the 2 purple phenos I have. The other 3 phenos are green but have the exact same smell all of them. Very recomended to all the growers out there if you are looking for exotic smells, very sweet. Peace out 💚✌️

Así es como empezamos la tercera semana,seguimos con humedad alta pero la vamos controlando.. Estos días da buen tiempo la humedad en la calle será mucho más baja así podré meter aire sin tanta humedad.. De momento todo bien en el cultivo ningún problema hasta la fecha. Ya podéis ver,y comentar sobre algo que veáis que yo no! Como dicen! Ven veinte ojos mejor que dos! 🖖 Día 12 Último fungicida prevención mutritis,hongos humedad. Primer riego foliar hormonas producción de flores. 🌹 Día 13 Nada en especial solo observar si veo algún cambio tras las hormonas,aún no veo grandes observaciones fuera de lo natural del paso de los días. En el día de mañana por lo que me recomendó el fabricante se verán los resultados a la vista! Comentar que seguimos con la iluminación al 100x100 de capacidad Marshydro sp3000 x2 Hero led Ignator t720 Yxo led 60w ir+un espectro completo En la siguiente semana me llega el nuevo driver de philips para poder conectar la lámpara de IR que pude adquirir a Yxo nuevamente! Lampara led espectro completo + IR 70w . Me vendrá muy bien para el pequeño espacio de la puerta que necesita más iluminación para poder desarrollar bien esas dos plantas,de la entrada. La humedad fue cosa del pasado. Evite el uso de desumificador eléctrico añadiendo varios de sales,deciros que funcionan muy bien no dan un control exacto pero mantienen una humedad interior estable para todo el periodo de floración! 50% de humedad lo demuestra! Hoy añadi un poco más de sustrato. 110 litros exactamente sobre la cama de cultivo que tenía de topcrop con humus de lombriz,tierra diatomeas y alimentada con npk. Después de eso tengo en mi cama de cultivo 810 litros de sustrato para mis 44haze. 💐 Saludos Día 14 Anulado el intractor,ya que el propio extractor mete aire fresco por las rendijas de ventilación.. En lo largo de la noche iré viendo el resultado en datos.. Ya coloque los soportes para la nueva iluminación que en estos días llega su driver de sustitución E visto que algunas plantas en estos dos días están en 67-70cm.. Ya colocado el sistema de riego para evitar más pisadas en el cultivo ya que algunas se realentizaron por pisar encima de sus raíces.. Le e metido una pequeña poda de bajos para airear más la zonas bajas del cultivo. Pequeño riego de folacion con remedio de agua azúcar para dos que estaban más estresadas.

Как я и предполагал, разница между харвестами "медицины" и лемонада составила почти месяц, но цикл все-равно получился интересным, буду и дальше тестировать генетику FastBuds. Спасибо всем, кто интересовался этим дневником, дальше будет еще интереснее, оставайтесь на связи!💚💛❤️

Day 43 - First day of week 7 today and she looks really good just not sure if she’s really starting to flower yet. I’m hoping this is just typical of the GC strain. Day 44 - No major changes, she’s growing and I’m loving the looks of her. Will continue uploading daily pictures. Day 45 - She’s looking really good and budding more and more each day. Gave her straight pH’d water today and tomorrow and will give her another feeding on Saturday. She’s drinking almost a gallon of water a day. Day 46 - Things are looking good with this girl. Bud sites are growing daily and this thing is a beauty. Gave her another feeding of just pH’d water and will “feed” her tomorrow. Day 47 - ALL is looking good and she’s looking purdy. Gave her a feeding with the foxfarm nutes today. Did a true measurement to the biggest branch and she’s at 25.5”. Will continue to measure each day to see how much she’s growing in a 24 hour period. Day 48 - Looking gorgeous and still stretching. Grew another two inches and is sitting at 27.5” right now. She’s really starting to fill in now and looking forward to the next few weeks. Day 49 - The way thing thing is growing, she’s gonna be a beast. Gave her straight pH’d water tonight and will give her a feeding tomorrow. Looks like she finally stopped stretching, sitting at 27.5” still so hopefully she’ll start putting on the weight.
