Hello All! Some of you may know I have a Northern Lights x Big Bud Auto grow that's well underway. That grow is in its 7th week, 2nd week of Flowering and is dedicated to My Freeman! Freeman's birthday is August 5th, right around the corner. It's a complete surprise, he has absolutely no idea I'm growing. It's going to make an awesome birthday gift! Check it out and if you see something amiss, please let me know. This Gelato, we have named "Tiff", from WeedSeedsExpress is supposed to have a somewhat short flower cycle, with high yields & THC. I amended the soil for "Tiff" with Down to Earth's 4-4-4, 4-12-0, Expert Organics 3-5-6, & Earthworm Castings and have converted the underspace of an old desk to be our growing space. "Tiff" will be sharing this space with 1 NL x BB auto, already 2 weeks into growing under the desk. Some time this week I will line the desk with Mylar foil. July 19, 2021. I finished lining the new grow space with Mylar foil, I even fashioned a spill mat with corners. July 20, 2021. "Tiff" is doing well in her new home. July 22, 2021 Nothing new to report. July 23, 2021. Watered "Tiff" today.

Beginning of a new week and everything is rosy. I 💦 watered "Tiff" a bit today, just keeping her hydrated and comfortable. I haven't decided if we will apply any high stress training, such as; Flat Top/Buzz Cutting (my term for FIM'g) or Topping. We will however, be using ELST, or Extreme Low Stress Training, as I like to call it. Extreme Low Stress Training (ELST) is when you bend her to where her top is touching dirt, and you slowly lower her completely to the dirt. Same goes with all side branches. You can see what I'm referring to, if you check my other grow, Northern Lights x Big Bud Auto. August 1, 2021, Sunday. I started ELST of Tiff and she's taken to it just fine. August 2, 2021, Monday. Tiff is thriving and is taking ELST like a 🏆 champ. Just 2 days away from My Freeman's birthday! I am so excited. August 3, 2021, Tuesday. Tiff is doing well growing rapidly every day. August 4, 2021 Wednesday. Tiff is still thriving in her environment and will receive a watering today. On another note, we're just a few short hours away until My Freeman's birthday! He's been kept in the dark as far as this grow is concerned. He will be celebrating his 44th birthday. He also has a plant named after him, and you can find her in my Northern Lights x Big Bud Auto grow. August 5, 2021, Thursday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY FREEMAN! Today is My Freeman's birthday! My growing has been a well kept secret that would be revealed upon Freeman's birthday. He was really really surprised. Tiff was defoliated, Flat Topped, and re-staked for ELST. August 6, 2021, Friday. I watered Tiff thoroughly. August 7, 2021, Saturday. Defoliated, watered, and re-staked "Tiff"

I defoliated and re-staked, Tiff. August 12, 2021, Thursday. I will be watering Tiff this evening. Aug. 13, 2021, Friday. Stigmas are forming on Tiff. I defoliated heavily.

August 14, 2021, Saturday. Tiff is starting to push out stigmas and is increasing water consumption.

Aug. 17, 2021, Tuesday. Defoliated Tiff. Aug. 18, 2021, Wednesday. Defoliated and watered Tiff Aug. 19, 2021, Thursdays. Re-staked and defoliated Tiff. Aug. 20, 2021, Friday.

We're in the Pre-flower stage. "Tiff" is popping stigmas all over. Aug. 21, 2021, Saturday. I didn't water yesterday. I will water tomorrow with compost tea. Made with Down to 🌍Earth's All Purpose 4-4-4, Expert Organics Veg & Tomato 3-5-6, Miracle Grow Performance Organics All Purpose 11-3-8, Worm Castings, and Molasses. This is our first time feeding with a compost tea, I hope to see positive results. Aug. 22, 2021, Sunday. I defoliated and watered "Tiff" with the compost tea. Aug. 23, 2021, Monday. I defoliated "Tiff" and amended her soil with Fish Bone Meal 4-12-0, Langbeinite 0-0-22, and the compost tea mush, and watered her in with compost tea. Aug. 24, 2021, Tuesday. My Extreme Low Stress Training technique (ELST) really does pay off. By bringing the top, branches and side branches down flat to the soil, ALL the bud sites now have access to the light, even buds which would have been LARF if only LST was used. The bud sites are no longer in competition with branches and leaves for the light, just other bud sites. Aug. 25, 2021, Wednesday. Lightly defoliated "Tiff" Aug. 26, 2021, Thursday. I defoliated "Tiff" even more today. Aug. 27, 2021, Friday. Nothing new to report.

Hey all! Tiff is developing well with no signs of deficiencies. She was moved into the 2x2 and switched to a 19/5 light schedule. I recently ditched the over-priced Mars Hydro and Upgraded to a 440 watt LED that was a lot less expensive and the plants LOVE IT! Sep. 28, 2021, Tuesday. All is going well, there seems to be no issues. Nothing new to report.

Moving into another week with "Tiff" with no issues to report. She is extremely sticky and would be an excellent strain for waxes and shatters. I will give her compost tea this week. Oct. 3, 2021, Sunday. Nothing new to report. Oct. 4, 2021, Monday. Nothing new to report.

I am having major technical difficulties. My PC and phone have both bricked on me. Please forgive the quality and lack of pictures this week.

October 16, 2021, Saturday. Nothing new to report. October 17, 2021, Sunday. Day of rest. October 18, 2021, Monday. No news to report.

October 19, 2021, Tuesday marks the 8th week of flower for Tiff. Her calyxes seem to be swelling and her trichomes are gradually changing. I hope to have her harvested by next week. We'll just keep on watching. October 20, 2021, Wednesday. Watered thoroughly. October 21, 2021, Thursday. Tiff is looking a lot like Kaiydaan did from our NL x BB auto run. Calyxes cease to swell, yellowing brittle leaves. I dialed down the intensity of the lights and raised them about 5 inches. I hope she's doing okay. Chime in if you have any ideas. October 22, 2021, Friday. Nothing new to report. October 23, 2021, Saturday. Nothing new to report. October 24, 2021, Sunday. Day of rest.

Welcome to another week of flower with "Tiff". I recently figured my light intensity was way over the top. Even though temps and humidity was spot on, the light was just overpowering and has zapped this gal of life. I invested in a Par meter and it showed I was just roasting the girl. Eyeballing the wattage setting has been detrimental to this grow. What one plant can withstand another just may perish. Live and Learn! October 28, 2021, Wednesday. I think I'm going to chop her down let her dry a bit. She's not going to make good smoke, but may do well as edibles.

As I've stated before, she was a lovely plant growing until... I gave her too much light, just some bonehead noob mistakes which I hope to never repeat. I did give her hell towards the end, but she still produced a pleasant smoking bud. She needed a decent length of curing, but it really was able to restore some of the vitality I compromised. I will grow this strain in the future and do her justice. I would recommend Gelato by WeedSeedsExpress.com
