Well, things are not going really good.. first time grower problems! #3 has nitrogen toxicity - i think that because the soil is very rich and i gave her even more nutes. Only water for now.. #1 and #2 are the ones that look better 🙏 And the Big Bud is bad, really bad.. when she started looking lime green and pale (looked nitrogen defeciency) so i raised the nutes, but few days later when i tested the run off ph it was too much low (orange color, in those cheap ph test kit) i dont have a ph pen yet, so i think it was nutrient lockout. I did a flush until the run off was close to yellow on the test (near 6.0) and now im waiting to see if it gets better.. I waited to long to giver the flush, and some bottom leaves died, at this stage i think i will have nothing to harvest from this plant 😥 23/06/2021 Now plants #1 #2 are also showing signs of some deficiency, run off was very low again so i flush them and increased the nutes..

420Fastbuds StrawberryGorillaAuto Week 4 What up grow fam. Weekly update on these 3 wonderful ladies. This week I did introduce some nutes and the plants seem to respond amazing. Starting to see little pistols so guessing this will be the last week of veg before the transition into flower. All in all Happy Growing

We’re officially in the final week for my Strawberry Gorilla Automatic from Fast Buds! 🌟 This beautiful girl has had a very quick flowering phase, but looking at the trichomes, they’re right where they need to be so no complaints! She will be flushed throughout this week and then harvested and hung up to dry next week. I’m super happy with how she’s developed!😋

The buds are really starting to stack and bulk up, and man… the frost is coming in nicely. Some of those tops are getting properly coated, and the smell hits you the second you open the tent. You can clearly see the contrast between the plants — the NLs are staying nice and dark green with heavy frost, while the Critical Mass fades out into those limey/yellow tones. Not perfect, but at this stage I’m letting them ride. The flowers themselves are developing well, and that’s what counts. Structure-wise, I’m pretty happy. The canopy is fairly even, multiple solid tops across the board, and everything is getting good light exposure. Stats so far: 💧 Watering: Every third day 🌡️ Temp: 26–28°C 💦 Humidity: 60% RH 📈 VPD: ~1.18 kPa 💡 Light: ~700 PPFD

She hasn't grown up, but she's filling out quite nicely. Looked at others growing Criteria Kush (CK photos) and noticed the growth of plant just before they put into flower. My husband decided thats what we are doing. He put up a trellis and we will use this to help during flowering. She seems happy and content. I hope she stretches and flowers nicely. Its flower time baby. 🌺⏳

Eine weitere Woche ohne große Mängel und Vorkommnissen die man nicht händeln könnte. Die Luftfeuchtigkeit ist mir ein wenig zu hoch, also müssen Blätter weg. Wenn ich schoneinmal die Schere in der Hand habe, können auch direkt wieder unten ein paar Äste weg. War mir schon klar dass das Netz nicht viel bringen wird bei der stabilen Sorte die ich da hab, aber so crazy unterschiedliche Phänotypen ist schon echt heavy. Äste werden soweit es geht verschoben und Nodien an ihren Platz gebracht sodass diese direkt richtig einwachsen, ohne dass ich noch groß eingreifen muss.

March 7, 2019 update: These babies are doing great! I plan on transplanting 6 plants and moving them into the flowering room this weekend. As of right now my plan is to move 1 DinaMed CBD, 1 Medi Kush CBD and 4 Cherry Hemp plants into flower. I'm going to pick the largest/most developed plants for the move. Then I'll keep the rest in veg for another month, next month I'll pick the next 6. I'd like to get the plants on a monthly rotation so I can be harvesting monthly.

Method 🎚️ Medium: 🥥🥥🥥🥥🥥 1 volume emoji because there really was no method to this grow. Plant seed, let grow, cut down, enjoy regularly😉. Any time you have the luxury of rooting this plant in the earth (where it belongs) is a huge bonus. She didn’t need much of anything and took all she required (for the most part anyway) from the garden👍. OG’s in the emerald triangle pride themselves on the makeup of their soil and the quality of the plants they grow. I like to think that while this girl didn’t have that benefit - she got as close as she could to it here in the north. She was struggling heavy at the start when she was indoors. It must’ve been my error some how but she hated the coco medium, hated the nutes and hated the grow light. As soon as she was moved outside, she was a completely different plant - like she had been begging for the sun the whole time. 5/5 coconuts because you simply can’t beat growing in the ground as the cannabis gods intended😎. Yield🌴🌴🌴 Ahhh the great equalizer of grower egos. Let’s put all of the above in perspective; this girl ended up where she was out of necessity. She was exposed to the elements and potential rippers and named “the decoy” because her express purpose was to draw attention away from the other 2 plants that we didn’t want anyone messing with. Thankfully, no one with a thought to theft ever really noticed her and it wasn’t until late flower that she demonstrated herself to be an award winning plant👍🤘👍. Woulda thought she’d yielded more with how thin her side branches were in comparison to the buds. They were massive and she was ready to fall over by the time the chop window opened. But the buds were also somewhat less dense which made their final sizes a little deceiving. Another limiting factor was that some of her branches were pollinated - probably from a randy bumblebee that had gotten into it somewhere else. Like the other 2 outdoors this year, we pulled 6 or 7 seeds off this girl that may eventually get used in future grows. I’m certainly not opposed to the occasional seed as long as she’s not a full-on hermie that can’t be used. Who knows, maybe a breeding project Is in the cards next year🤔. End of the day, results were about as expected given her conditions and growing environment - 6.51oz of sun grown, sativa goodness👌. 3/5 palm trees for this - without some training and a more accommodating environment - we definitely left some of her potential on the table here. There’s still more than enough to go around though😉. Props Again, a shout out thank you to GD for the platform. Big thank you to HSO for breeding some wicked, awesome beans. And another shout out to good karma for seeing us through this one. Of course some special mention to those who swung in to creep on it these past weeks. Special mention to my buddy @sKitzO for the discussion and sound advice. If anyone’s interested in seeing this plant’s full potential with training and a nute plan then check his dockside, pot-grown 707’s - just gorgeous, abundant, beefcake plants💪. Much appreciated homie👊. From our bong to yours, may the weather be ever in your favour😉😎🤘👍👊.

This cycle was all along a great pleasure. The plants developed MUCH BETTER THAN EXPECTED, the result under the Q6W-Gen. 2 LED lamps from SANlight is FANTASTIC. I have NEVER harvested more from plants of the same strain under HPS and the quality of the bud (trichomes, taste aroma) is MUCH BETTER when grown under LED, my decision is definitely made, I will continue to solemnly grow with LED-lights in the future. I harvested 2250 gram of Shiva Skunk and 3009 gram of Serious Kush, that a total amount of 5259 gram. In relation to the 3000 Watts (incl. dimmed part!) power of the LED-lights thats an AMAZING 1,753 gram per Watt.

Holaa, 6ta semana y ya vamos superando los problemas de temperatura. RecibĂ­ la manta calefactora y la temperatura con el led apagado subiĂł a 16-17ÂşC, es un gran avance con respecto a los 13-14ÂşC que alcanzaba. Los esquejes van avanzando bien, el esqueje con la poda apical va desarrollando los tallos del centro y esta tomando una buena forma. El esqueje con LST esta tomando mĂĄs fuerza en sus tallos principales y se vuelve mĂĄs frondosa. Empece a regar agua con EC casi nula y no eh podido agregar los nutrientes bĂĄsicos para llegar a un EC base de 0.4. Por esto es que creo que los esquejes estĂĄn presentando una deficiencia de calcio para esto estoy a la espera del producto SENSI CAL-MAG XTRA de Advanced Nutrients con este voy a corregir la EC base del agua de riego y aplicare una fertilizaciĂłn foliar para las carencias presentes. Espero que los resultados sean los esperados. A los esquejes los acompaĂąa la Negra 44 que tiene un diario aparte y un palto(aguacate). Cualquier recomendaciĂłn sera bien recibida!!

🌸 Week 6 Flower – Gelonade Diaries The Gelonade girls continue their elegant dance into flower, both Pheno #1 and Pheno #2 shining in their own unique way. Their structures remain remarkably similar, tall, strong, and full of energy, while each holds onto her own personality, expressed in leaf form and flower shape. This week we noticed a few small spots on the leaves. Nothing dramatic, nothing to sound alarms about, but enough to remind us that plants, like people, sometimes whisper when they need something. It could be calcium, it could be another minor imbalance, but the key is observation. We’ll keep a close eye, watching for patterns, listening to what the girls want to tell us, and adjusting gently if needed. 🌱 Quick Recap (For Those Just Joining) From the start, this run has been about detail and care. • Germination was clean and quick, the girls leaping from seed into life. • Veg was marked by strong branching, healthy leaves, and the unforgettable funky unicorn foliage of Pheno #2. • Transplanting into super soil and fabric pots gave them the room to spread their roots and breathe. • The shift into flower was smooth, guided by careful lighting, steady feeding, and a balance of Aptus and Plagron nutrients. • Weeks 4 and 5 saw sativa-like stretch, white hairs bursting across every cola, and canopy lights filling every corner with photons. Now here we are in Week 6: the garden maturing, the flowers stacking, the personality of the genetics truly revealing itself. 💧 Feeding & Balance The recipe continues to revolve around Aptus Regulator, CalMag Boost, Top Booster, and Plagron’s Power Buds, Sugar Royal, and Green Sensation, with Aptus All-In-One Liquid helping tie the orchestra together. We’re keeping EC balanced, always mindful that the soil already provides a strong foundation. 💡 What’s Happening & What’s Next This week is all about observation. Flowers are swelling, resin begins to sparkle in early traces, and aromas start to hint at what’s to come. What to expect: denser buds, richer pistil coloration, and a canopy that will soon demand defoliation for airflow. What not to expect: miracles overnight. This is the stage of patience, where the magic brews quietly within each calyx. 💚 Closing Thought The Gelonades remind us that growth is rarely flawless. A spot on a leaf is not a failure, but a message. Perfection isn’t the goal, balance is. And balance is exactly what these girls are showing us week after week. May the flowers swell with grace, may the leaves whisper their truths, and may the grower’s patience be rewarded in full bloom. PS: Understanding Foxtailing One of the girls, our Pheno #2, is starting to show signs of foxtailing. For those new to the term, foxtailing refers to when buds grow in elongated, irregular patterns instead of stacking neatly into the dense, conical shape we often expect. The result is a flower that looks “spiky” or “funky,” almost as though the plant is growing multiple little towers from a single cola. Why does this happen? There are two main sides to the story: • Genetic Foxtailing: Some strains naturally express this trait, especially sativa-leaning hybrids. In this case, foxtailing is simply part of the plant’s personality, often leading to extra surface area for resin glands, which can even mean more trichomes and aromas. • Environmental Foxtailing: Stress factors can also trigger it — high heat, intense light (too much PPFD), or shifts in feeding can encourage buds to keep stacking in odd ways rather than finishing their round formation. In our case, the temperatures have sometimes pushed higher than ideal, and the lights are running strong, so those factors might play a role. But genetics also carry a heavy influence, and Gelonade — being sativa-leaning, can naturally lean toward these elongated flower expressions. Is foxtailing a problem? Not at all. While it can look unusual compared to the “textbook” cola shape, it doesn’t reduce quality. In fact, it can increase flower mass and surface resin coverage, giving us more material and potentially more complex aesthetics. Some growers even treasure it as a unique expression of their plant’s individuality. So while Pheno #2 may look a little funky, we see it as a gift, more fruit, more character, more story to tell. This is the garden’s way of reminding us that beauty doesn’t always fit a mold, and that variation is part of the magic of growing. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.
