Started the week off defoliating leaves blocking lower bud sites, I’ll wait a few days then lollipop and remove any lower bud sites that won’t amount to anything.
Gelato stretched much more so internodes are spaced much further part, they also look much weaker that the Zkittlez.
Zkittles have bounced back from topping, leaf trimming, training and the autopot system much better than the Gelato. Their buds are twice the size already.
Upped the EC to 1.5 but both showing tip burn so I’ll dial it back to EC 1.3 I’ll keep an eye on them.
Let’s see who packs on the most weight.
Day 42. Light intensity 600-900ppfd (22inch)
Height:
Gelato 24-26
Zkittlez 21-22
Day 44. Same height and light intensity.
Zkittlez still slightly bigger. Both bulking up nicely.
Sounds like its the calmag to me so if you adjusted that you are good. I cant speak for the gelato strain but the zkittlez with gulp down a shit-ton of calmag. I just grew one. Very healthy eater. When you see that light lime green color she wants more.
Beautiful start my brother. Listen Ive grown this strain a few times....she is a thirsty girl. Drinks a lot. Easy on the nitrogen but give her all of the calmag she can handle. 6.5-7 ph and they are going to soar. I add "Flower Fuel" in flowering. NPK of 1-34-32
@GutterHoe,
Hey buddy, thanks for the tips! Can’t wait to see her in full flower mode.
Just building the roots up a little longer then when the autopot is on they can drink as much as they need.
