Day 105, week 15, the third week of flowering, has started today and the plants show different levels of growth.
Cookies Gelato #1 is producing flowers very fast whereas #2 is slower and #3 much slower, see for yourself in the photos.
Yesterday I gave the plants some Epsom salt via soil watering and also sprayed some on the leaves to correct the Magnesium deficiency that came with the flowering stage.
The flowers have an amazing smell: at first it reminded me of cocoa lip balm then it was vanilla and now it has a clear smell of citrus mixed with vanilla, it is so sweet that now I understand why the strain has gelato in its name, fucking glorious.
It's my first time growing feminized seeds and I'm loving this journey, every week I learn something new about this wonder plant, I hope to make this hobby my occupation one day.
Thank you for following, I will share some updates in the next few days, have a good day :)
Day 107 - Yesterday I spotted some aphids on my plants and I decided to take action: I used a water jet to wash away the insects and their eggs. Then I put a plant of Pepper Mint, a plant of Mojito Mint and one of Basil near my Cannabis plants to repell unwanted insects. I also wanted to spray alcol on the leaves but I think it's not worth it. In the next few days I will try spraying a mixture of Marseille soap and water on the foliage.
This morning I did a much needed proper defoliation, I removed the biggest leaves, the lower branches and the flowers that would not get enough light.
Cheers
nice....NL is a great strain,,got a cpl on the go myself..one tent, one outdoors..finished off a chiquita banana not to long ago..not sure if similar to your banana...good luck with the grow.....enjoy.
@DevilsBud, I have put aside my Fat Banana so that It will cure nicely for a month or so, right now I'm smoking the smallest northern light and it's not bad considering that it has dried for only a week or so.
Cheers
