Gelato 41

She’s definitely a strong one!! She’s not hanging about. Hoping for a good yield from this one as who doesn’t love Gelato?

Not much to report this week, though it’s a tough call between this one and the purple lemonade as to the fastest! She’s definitely looking good though. No complaints here. Loving her chunky leaves though 😊

Gelato 41 topped this week. Again, doesn’t seem overly stressed by it! She’s got such a different shape to the rest! Lovely fat leaves! Let’s see what she does this week. I can’t wait to see what she does now!

This lady is just perfect! Loving her leaf structure, it’s so different from the rest. Another week closer to flower, might have to start some LST with her next week to make sure there’s enough light penetration.

I’ve not taken any leaves off this lady, but I did do a bit of LST to make sure all her bud sites are getting light. I’m still loving her structure, her leaf shape is totally different to all the others.

So this girl has shown no real signs of flower as yet, so I put her in a tent for 12 hours overnight to see if it would give her the kick she needs. We will see. There was a bit of LST on her to aid air flow but let’s see what next week brings

Scrog net in, this lady is slowly showing signs that she might be about to flower. But we shall see. Definitely not convinced she’s an auto I put her in a tent for 14 hours on her own last week to see if it would kick start things. Lets see if it’s worked

She’s finally started to show signs of flowering! I definitely think she was a rogue photo seed. But let’s see what she starts to do now. She’s going to be big I think.

She’s going to be a monster! We’re still plodding along here, very slowly! But more signs that she’s getting herself going. Hopefully she starts showing more pistils this week. She’s got a tad of nute burn but we’re rectifying that as we speak. Let’s see what next week brings with this one. Think she’ll be getting the chop at Christmas at this rate 😂

Well we’re still plodding along here with this one. One more plant to come out and then she’s getting the cupboard to herself. I’m going to reset the scrog net with her in the middle of the tray. Also going to be changing the light schedule to 12/12 to see if it kick starts her. She’s had a major defoliation today and I’ve removed most from the lower branches. She’s going to be enormous!

We’ve done a lot this week, she’s been topped again, defoliated and reset in the scrog as she now has the cupboard to herself! She’s now on a 12/12 light cycle between 8am and 8pm. I’ve got to install a Grow the Jungle UVMantis bar in there this week too. She’s got one more week to show me something, otherwise I might just call it with her and start again.

Finally, she’s showing that she’s flowering!! It’s been a slog with her and she’s massively temperamental. But after 12 weeks this beast is finally in flower! Only another 8 weeks at least to go thank god there’s no more stretching to go!

Well she’s finally flowering! It’s only taken 14 weeks I can see at least 33 bud sites looking down on the canopy. She’s going to be a handful!

Well she’s certainly starting to stack it on. She’s got 33 colas that I can see. She’s going to be getting a last defol next week and then all I’ll do is feed her until flush. I’m genuinely scared at why her yield is going to be.

Well she’s definitely gaining weight 🤣 we’ve still got 5 weeks ish to go before I even think she’ll be remotely finished up and ready to chop. The 30w UV Mantis bar from Grow the Jungle has upped trichome production, I can’t wait to see how frosty she is by the end of this run.

Well what can I say about this one? We’re still plodding on 🤣 she’s enormous and she really really smells! Trichomes are being produced at a rapid rate and she’s a proper frosty girl! Hopefully she starts to fatten up now and put some proper weight on. I’ve got no doubt that she’s going to need some help to stay upright! On to the next week, hopefully from then it’s a countdown 💪🏻

Week 18 and counting, think we’re going to be going to at least 24/25 weeks. Bud sites are starting to properly fatten up now and she’s definitely stinking. Thank god for filters!! Struggling with air flow as we were never anticipating having plants this big in here! But we’re getting there! Slowly but surely! She’s starting to fade now too, seeing purples and reds appearing in the leaves. Just a few more weeks...

Well she’s now got a permanent wobble because of her weight! I’ve got some yo-yos ready and waiting because I’m sure she’s going to need a bit of help by the end! But looking at the trichomes and seeing a few amber ones on sugar leaves now, so I don’t think she’s got too much longer left (thankfully!) this has been our longest journey yet, but we’ve learnt a lot along the way!

We are so close now! I noticed a small patch of amber trichomes on the main bud so we’re finally on the home stretch! It feels like it’s been forever!! But she’s stacking nicely, her water uptake is starting to slow, so I think she’s had enough too. I think another week of nutes, then a two week flush and we should be somewhere about there! It’s the final countdown!

We are now in flush... it’s the final countdown!! I’m thinking 25 weeks is going to be our total! Fade is showing more and more and seeing more amber trichomes daily. I think we’re both ready for this one to be over now but will she be worth the wait? And what on earth is she going to weigh?

Will update with final weights once known, but she’s a big girl. Dense buds and great structure though! She taught me a lot this one and we have had great fun! Was definitely worth giving her the long veg
