She's growing great. Had a real problem with leaf miners in my last grow and the marigolds seem to be doing an excellent job. Also been seeing a few mantis and lady bugs on the allysum which is great

Started adding supplemental lighting. Going to supplement light until she's around 30cm then let nature take its course.

I'm impressed with the rate of growth of this plant, she's at least 3 times the size of my Sour Diesel plant (planted same day)

Found large numbers of spidermites as well as some thrips. Luckily all were on my marigold plants, a few had wondered on to my ladies but the issue has been contained with minimal harm to the plants

Trichomes turning milky, not long now. She's also starting to smell quite nice, very floral with a bit of an exotic fruit undertone

Happy Harvest Day!

Gelato Samba BulkSeedBank

8/10

Rated

Easy plant to grow, grew quick and had good pest resistance (although pest populations are considerably lower in winter). Beautiful bud structure and colour. Buds aren't too dense and the aroma is quite mild but very pleasant like some sort of creamy custard apple. Taste is very earthy with a bit of fruity sweetness on the end, smoke is very smooth with virtually no throat hit. This is definitely Night time stuff for me, great to watch a movie or aid in relaxation

I haven't had much luck with this particular strain, I bought a pack of 5 seeds, the first turned out to be male 🤦‍♂️ (I know right!?), the next two were taken by slugs/cut worms as seedlings. Luckily this one took and I'm very glad she did because it's an awesome strain with great yield potential given the right conditions. I'll be growing this again for sure and allowing a much longer veg cycle to see what she can really do!!
