Gelat.OG | Wedding Cake | Cheese Diary

The plants popped out, all 3 of them. Same old same old. They have been put in BioBizz All-Mix substrate which has been proven well in our previous grows.

Plants are advancing nice and smooth. Still no techniques applied. No nutrients added yet, waiting to see the need.

Preparing the plants for move to the new pots, added Humic Acid Plus to the mix to help their roots carry on. So far, everything under control.

Moved the plants to bigger and better pot which is their final destination. Carry on, plants! Grow like crazy. Will start to apply LFT and Defoliation soon.

The plants are going well even after the move to new pots, all checked out fine so far. One plant has a couple of yellow leaves on the very bottom which is not concerning yet. Will see how it picks up the slack. Could be the All-Mix simply has too much nutrients for her hahaha.

We added a vent to the setup to introduce some wind stress to the mix. All going well so far, the yellow leaves on the most left plant are still not causing issues but not recovering either. Will keep monitoring closely. Week #7 will begin on 30th of June, just a reminder for myself.

For week #7 we have applied the Topping technique to improve our yield. We have also talked with the expert and figured the yeelow color on the leaves are from a lack of nitrogen - we previously thought it is due to the lack of iron. We added the 3 supplements as logged in the nutrients form and will see how it goes and if the nutrients help the plants move on rapidly.

Plants are advancing nicely, everything is in check and we got rid of yellow on the new leaves on the bottom of each plant which was nitrogen defficiency.

Plants are growing rapidly, specially the tallest one which gained about 15cm in a week. Increased water intake to almost a liter per plant - they are very thirsty. Vegetation going pretty smooth I'd say. The difference in height between the 3 plants I have to attribute to the strain difference and genetics. Correct me if I am wrong. Topping was applied to the left and middle plants.

We've done some proper LST this week on all of the plants involved. Water volume is now almost a liter per day. Plants are growing nicely and are very healthy and dark green colored.

We had some cool stuff done over the last weekend for the Week 11 progression path! We taped aluminum foil over the closet to improve light spread. This should aid the plants and their lower part leaves to gather more light. Increased water to 1 liter every 2nd day. Still using the same nutrients, no defficiencies or surplus detected. Changed location of hygrometer / thermometer; mounted it on the side wall. Applied more LST and Topping actions to the plants.

Plants are still undergoing LST. They are developing well and I had to increase water intake to average of 1.2, but the smallest plant is getting 0.8l, the middle one 1.2l and the tallest one 1.4l of water. Supps are under control and more thorough checkup later through the day ensues.

Finishing week 13 everything is looking good but we had some minor work to do. There was plenty of leaves not receiving any light so we had to apply defoliation technique. We will give it a few days for the plants to recover from us removing the leaves in question which would never receive any light due to them being quite low on the plants; and just hinder the process of growth. In a few weeks, the flowering phase should start. We didn't apply any supplements this week due to discoloration observed on the lower leaves of each plant indicating too much nutrients were applied last week.

This week went by with no nutrients due to slight burn being spotted on the very edges of the leaves. Water intake raised to about 2 liters per plant. Next week we will be able to add nutrients, possibly even the flowering phase ones in minimal doses to improve the final flavor. LST and Topping techniques applied as needed.

Plants are still progressing nicely and everything is pretty stable and straightforward. Didn't add any supplements since there is still no need for them. Flowering should start soon.

This week we did a lot of methods to improve the plant. We took care of the calcium defficiency by adding a new supplement by Green Buzz Liquids. We also introduced some Humic Acid Plus which means plants were going strong for 3 weeks without anz supplementation. We are going to add a tent to the configuration since we got ourselves a new Mars TS 600 light.

This week went by with no issues whatsoever, just applied more organic CalMag to the solution. Temperatures dropped due to a bit colder than usual weather.

This week we have added the tent for the 2 smaller plants. Adding more nitrogen as well. Other than that we plan to start flowering phase in a couple of days.

This week we are kicking off flowering phase by setting the light schedule to 12/12, we also did some minor defoliation on the babies. Started with the Bio Flores nutrient which took place over Bio Vega. The plants are looking good with 1 minor exception. The tallest plant's upper most leaves look like they are drying off but adding more water didn't help that much, wondering what is going on.

This week is looking great. We've added all the supplements like in our prior schedule except we used Bio Flores instead of Bio Vega and we've also added Bud Candy to help with the taste and aroma. Also, we added some more CalMag based on recommendation provided by fellow member @GreenBuzzLiquids. Did some defoliation, low-stress training, vents are blowing harder and humidity is mostly around 60% with air temp around 25. Had to raise up the lamps again since the plants are growing in height. The tallest plant is about 150cm tall which is pretty nice.

We did some extra defoliation on the plants as they needed it. Added the usual stack of nutrients but did 5ml instead of 4. Bud are forming nicely and the growing process will last a few more weeks. Can't wait for the harvest!

The plants are making progress but I think they are a bit on the slower side. All the supplements appear to be dosed right, no excess either. We spread out the tallest plant to catch more light in hope for a better yield.

This week went by and apologies for not posting the log when I should have so now we have 2 weeks worth of entries in 2 days. Regardless, the plants are progressing nicely and we're keeping the supplements at 5ml per liter. Watering is around 2 liters per 2 days. I suppose the plants won't take too long before the harvest. If anyone got advice, please do let me know.

I had to use some duct tape to tape the plant along the walls of the closet to prevent it getting burnt by the lights. Performed some defoliation and some manipulations otherwise classified under High Stress Training soldier!!! The fan is blowing on the 2 smaller plants which are definitely slower to grow and will take longer to mature. Removed CalMag froms this week's supplementation batch.

I had to use more duct tape to tape the plant along the walls of the closet to prevent it getting burnt by the lights and to spread out the buds to get more light each. Performed some defoliation to allow more light to pass through and cover the buds on the lower parts of the plants. Regarding the supplements, removing CalMag was a good step. Increased water intake for the plants. EDIT: We did a little bit of hairdressing on the ladies. They are slowly getting stickier day by day.

Today finally came the day when we will take some care of our biggest plant! We did kinda neglect her and went with the minimum efforts, we just had to do something to help her out. To reflect that, we finally took out most of the leaves that had 0 sugar or if the sugar coverage was less then 20-ish percent, more or less... The girl is mega sticky, had to clean my scissors multiple times with alchol as they've been getting stickier all the time. Nice I guess? :) :) Finally all of the buds are manipulated in a way they are better positioned under the LED (Mars Hydro TS 1000 and Mars Hydro TS 600 [(for the 2 remaining beauties in the box Mars Hydro GT 70x70x160)] and hopefully it will help with further grow! When cutting was done it left a distinct smell of spice & musky deep tones with a hint of sugar. Sometinig like a spicy ginger cookie dipped in salty caramel. My salvia is drippin wet when I described this! :D Hahaha!

This week, the plants were recovering from extensive defoliation and we can see on the Gelat.OG harvest is getting closer and closer. We can tell by the leaves nearest to the buds. Supplementation is continued at the same rate just like watering. Can't wait for the first harvest!

Our grow is making steady progress and on one of the plants you will notice the leaves closest to the buds are turning yellow which is a sign they will be ready for harvesting soon! Can't wait for it, now we are just monitoring if the crystals will dim out and not be clear anymore which is a final sigh for harvesting to happen.

Missed adding an entry for last week but here it is guys with a different set of photos which were taken in low-light conditions. More and more leaves closest to the heads are getting browner by the day meaning harvest time is soon!

This is another one of those late entries in the diary, but the next entry is the final one as I'm harvesting it today. We had the plants in pitch black for 2 days.

We have finally harvested all of our 3 plants and they are now being hanged in ventilated closet haha. Looking pretty nice and I'm posting some photos taken by a professional photographer with his Nikon DSLR camera. Please let me know how you like the photos and if you have any tips or suggestions about the drying process and the photo quality itself.

Overall, this was a pretty long grow cycle of 33-ish weeks which didn't result in big yields but our focus was on enthusiast quality anyway. I'm happy we took it all the way and kept it on point all this time. It has definitely been a ride and we were as sharp as a bald eagle on these plants making sure they are healthy and thriving!

It was far too easy to grow Wedding Cake, and it was our biggest plant in height. I don't even know if anything negative could be said about this strain during our growing of it.

Amazing and very easy to grow, Gelat.OG is a stunning plant strain that packs a serious THC punch and skyrockets you to outer space.
