Auto Gelato - Advanced Female Seeds

Second auto grow - Feb 2024

Popped into some damp tissue to get her started (27/02) 🌱 buried 2 days later when tap root was only a mm 🌱 broke the surface 4 days later 🌱 re-potted on day 11 due to roots outgrowing the small container 💪 half strength of bio-bizz (2ml/L) on day 16 (10 days after germination) seems to have reacted well 😎 changed my mind and re-potted into its final home on day 19 (1/5 perlite, 1/5 vermiculite, 3/5 plain old potting compost) 😬 stem buried with each re-pot too 🌱 LST started on day 25 💪 full dose bio-bloom from day 31, she’s getting a good trunk to her (PH:6.3) 🔥 Temps sitting at 21 Celsius and 66% humidity 🤓 planning on letting her have another week or so on full dose bio-bloom (4ml/L) and then slowly introduce top-max as well (1ml/L) 🧪 flowering started just after week4 (journal day 35 approx.) 🌸 decided I’m going to stop horizontal training on day 39 and let her start growing vertically from all of the bud sites now, only minor adjustments from here on in. Lost one stem that I hadn’t realised was damaged and it had slowly torn through as it had grown however I am going to see if it’ll root 🌱 humidity problems going into week 5. Keeps spiking up to 84% randomly and holding at 72-75% afterwards, outside conditions won’t be helping atm either but I need to figure out a way to bring that down and consistent 🧐 temps levelled at 19.5C & 65%RH 🌱🥳 upped to 2ml/L on the top-max, still on max of 4ml/L on the bio-bloom (day 45) 🥃 clip on fan arrived too so we’ve now got a gentle breeze 💨 swallowed 1L of feed/water on day 46 with little run-off. Thirsty girl 🌱 cruising, taken her second full litre of feed, going to up the top-max go 3ml/L instead of jumping straight up, currently seems like she’s at a nute sweet point 😎 Top-max upped to 3ml/L on day 52 (PH:6.2)🌸 Took another 1L on day 55 ✅ week 8 - plants been on cruise control, 1L every other day more or less, humidity spiking again but levelled again at about 66/67%. No pruning since last mentioned, stretch seeming to slow down 👀 think on week 9 we’ll run full strength nutes right until flush then 🧐 trichs came through on day 63 (day 57 if we go from breaking the soil) 🥳 really starting to show her scars now those baby leaves have grown, light defol/prune on day 66 to open up that canopy slightly and try to help her push a little harder🤞having suspected PH problems on day 66 from the feed on day 61 when I dunked the PH meter so had to fly blind 🙄😅 fed with less than quarter strength PH’d and seem to have perked back up, special thanks to @rastaman 2.0 for the keen eye on that one 💯

😴😴 Waiting on a delivery of cal mag, may have been lured into changing nute brands too 🧐 Plain PH water until then though. Maybe half dose of nutes in a week or so if she bounces back with the cal mag 👀

2 days ago

@eaegifts

@eaegifts Nice move, you definitely wanna try different brands to see what you like or what works best in your setup. If you’re looking for coast effective I’d suggest Jacks321 or Masterblend 👍🏾

ADZ

ADZ Yeah I’m gonna stick with the bio-bizz feeds to finish this one off, they did good on my AK which I feel I stunted majorly at points. If the calmag works nicely like they say it does then I’ll be making a change over slowly and as funds allow it, tents a higher priority right now… still 🫡😂 thanks for the tips 👊

@eaegifts

@eaegifts Dope move, a tent would be great so you can use this as a veg space and go perpetual

So after last nights questioning I decided to take off a few of those larger leaves and open up the lower canopy a little 😬 only 7 large and damaged leaves removed in total so I’ve got faith in her to just brush it off and power on. Watering with plain water today with less than 1/4 strength nutes as she’s showing slight signs of nute burn on the tips and I’d rather under feed than burn her totally so a quick little break wont hurt much 😎🤷‍♂️

Still happy with how she’s doing, just hoping she stretches some of those lower bud sites up 😬 how far into flower do you guys still de-foliate/prune ? was debating trimming a few larger leaves to open up more opportunity for those lower sites but wanted to leave her as much as possible this time round 🙏 raised the light again as she’s still creeping a little bit but she’s definitely slowed down a lot 👊

Starting to see frost 😎🔥 she’s just marching on, realised earlier that I’ve been pushing her nute-wise as far as the instructions go but she’s taken it like a champ so I’m going to stick as I am and give it a week or two before going full dose on the top-max… unless I’m certain she’ll take it.

She loves bedtime 😂😎 definitely a solid difference between morning and night time photos. She’s doing good, seems like the stretch is slowly coming to a halt now and the sites seem to be beginning their growth now a little more 🔥🫡 she’s doing me proud, think we’ll see trich’s within a week now 🍄‍🟫

blacksunset She looks great. Have you thought of placing the reflective insulation styrofoam sheets from like Home Depot. They don’t cost too much and you will see the difference in your yield. All those photons get reflected back to the plant. Small price big reward. Just a thought.

ADZ

ADZ Do you know what that hadn’t even crossed my mind for this grow! 😅 once I’ve finished this one my furniture will be moved in then so it’ll be bye bye wardrobe and time to see where I can fit a tent nicely 😎🫡

eXo Is that a dehumidifier in the corner? I bought something similar and it was not working at all. Now testing a small electric one. Plant looks great by the way!

ADZ

ADZ I can’t agree more 😂☝🏻 they’re shit but… over time I have found it’s brought the general humidity down, a very slow process but it has helped slightly 🤷‍♂️ I’ve got a few electric ones saved to buy once I lose my rag lol and thanks bro! Yours are doing spot on too 🔥🔥

blacksunset

blacksunset Looks nice and healthy, great job so far. Great spacing of the stems, you shouldn’t have too much of a problem with light penetration when the flowers really start blooming. 😎👍🏽

Had another 1L today, barely any run off again she’s just drinking like a champ but I did leave it an extra day this time to let the pot dry through 🌴 pruned a couple of lower branches & leaves that were just wasted energy to try and focus more up into her main sites and canopy. Other than that it’s pretty good going 💨 On another note I dropped my PH tester in my water last night so I’ve got a new one on the way with a PPM tester too so we can start fine tuning that little bit extra 😎 also kinda regretting not scrogging her, think that’s next on the list for future experiments 👀

Wanted to post today to look back at day by day progress because I’m noticing her get bigger and stronger each day 👊 I did make a baby fuck up and knocked my thermometer/hygrometer making it fall, hit the “main” cola on its way down so I checked for breaks and she seems fine, the only damage seemed to be a little baby leaf. Going to keep an eye on that area of plant over the next few weeks to make sure it doesn’t hermie or anything 😒🧐

Cruising after her prune the other day. Filled out nicely again and those sites are starting to get fatter and develop 🥳 Happy I trimmed what I did as I feel like I can leave her be now and she should be pretty happy. Swallowed 1L yesterday with about 20ml of run-off 😅 (Week6)(Week2OfFlower)

Gave her a pruning and took off her larger and oldest fan leaves that were blocking light from fresh sites, looks like I barely touched it. (Of course the most impressive are now being pressed ready for my second photo frame 🖼️) Also adjusted some branches a little that were poking above the canopy. 🌸 My fan has arrived too so I’ve now got a gentle breeze flowing around too which should help strengthen those stems & branches a little more and help keep any moisture problems at bay, I’ve noticed a few patches where leaves have been very close together and have sweated, my logic being that if the airs moving atleast it’s got more chance of evaporating 💨

24 days ago

cal98 If I can give a suggestion you could pull your branches on the sides down a bit more and it’ll strengthen the branches also it’ll give you more penetration for sunlight later on growing those bud sites to strengthen those so you won’t lose as much of your precious time and energy and money

adderz

adderz Just opened this after doing exactly that, as much as I felt comfortable with anyway (second grow/first LST). She’s stiffened up loads and is at the snapping stage now so I’m being careful with what I do too. Lowered them down a little bit more and pulled a few of the rear branches outwards and towards more open areas 😎 thanks for the input dude 🫡🔥

adderz

adderz The other issue I’ve got is I’ve ran out of space for her to grow outwards now so I’m gonna have to work with it for the rest of this plant and make that change for the next grow 😅

Going for a bit of a different post today as she’s quite happy and there’s not much to update. Temps are now at 19.5C & 65%RH that’s about it 🥳 First picture is the current gelato grow on day 41 & the second picture is the auto AK on day 42 in the same pot on my first grow, LST has definitely made a difference but I’m now quite a bit happier with how the gelato is doing, nice hand sized leaves are forming all over with ease and she’s got a nice happy trunk too 😎🔥 (yes it’s a spare wardrobe grow😂) Main difference between the two is the enclosed environment and better lighting. The knowledge that came from the AK grow also worked wonders

Time to sit back and let her do her thing 😎😬 one branch had damaged a while back and as it grew it made the split bigger so I cut it as it had already half healed and I felt like taping and repairing would’ve taken more energy than letting her heal half a wound. Pretty happy for my second plant I can’t lie 🔥

eXo Interesting grow. I am roughly two weeks behind you - so your grow is a good reference to me to see what’s coming and if I am doing well.

adderz

adderz Hey eXo, that’s cool feel free to stay tuned and use my stuff to help you out 👍🏻 I did the same and still do, far from a pro but I do my research, what have you got on the go ?

adderz

adderz The other thing to bare in mind I’ve done LST with this plant so it won’t quite look the same as a normal un-trained plant but the stages of growth etc will be the same 👊🏻

Loads of pistils coming through now, all of the main branches are now tipped with pistils at their nodes which I’m going to say is a good indicator the LST has worked its magic pretty damn well. Can’t wait to see how she ends up but I am noticing the explosive growth now when I come back from work. The smell is also starting to build up 🔥

🌸🌸 Gave her another quick feed today, emptied the bottle so it’s onto bio-bloom & top max now, started off with 1ml of top max and then I’ll raise it up to two ml on the next mix and then ramp up to 4ml/L Bio-Bloom : 4ml/L Top max : 1ml/L

Well it’s time to sit back and let her do her thing, scroll to the end for fresh baby pistils 🥺 regretting some choices but the final LST adjustments have been made, all I’ll do from here is trim a leaf here or there and maybe adjust or remove branches if absolutely necessary. Feel like we might be mid-first to second week in flower 🤷‍♂️

Day: 32

Early update today as I won’t be back til late, took off that fan leaf that was shading the centre canopy and a few other leaves that were stopping light getting to the fresh growth. 😎 Will most likely start tying down the other branches to level out growth as I go along and they breach the plants general height.

Yo growmies! Really happy with how she’s done so far, super trooping through it all 👏🏻 just upped her dosage and now have her on full strength nutes and added a second tie so she’s now level, thinking of trying to get as much of a circle as possible on this one but we’ll see how she does, super trunk compared to the Auto AK 😎 there’s a couple of sad looking leaves but they should bounce back okay I think she’s gotten a tad thirsty 🌱 happy growing Bio-bloom : 4ml/L

What’s up growmies ? Plant growth seems to be doing well but I’m not liking these pale veins… any input ? Maybe under watering ? Surely she can’t be ready to start feeding ? Waters been PH’d since it germinated so I can rule out a PH problem, I will check the soil PH this evening though 🌱🤝

2 months ago

dlw Usually once you check PH, levels are consistent with each government area (at least in aus) I start introducing nutrients at a lower rate once jagged leaves come in (50% of recommended mix) (I use Professors original A and B hydro nutrient) to introduce nutrients

adderz

adderz Yeah just did a soil PH check and it’s at 7 so I’m ruling that out, gave her a small water top up with half dose of feed so I’ll see how she does over the next few days. Thanks for the help DLW! 😎
