I'm going to try and get some better angles. My screen is smashed on my phone and shows different colours. First week of flower, let's see what Barry does with what he's been given eh?
Updating of the diary was put on hold as had had some personal issues come up, still having to deal with them, so my priorities had been delegated but I will try to upload as regularly as poss.. How has everybody been!? Hope everyone is keeping well! Barry is doing fine. My diary says it's in one stage but if you took the time out to read this then, that simply wouldn't be true. Gelato #25 is in flush at the minute. Going to flush week by week and see how we get on. Looking frosty and the smell is amazeballs! :)
Right, so this is technically my first ever plant that I'm growing. It was pretty much dead at a couple weeks because divvy over here put it through too much heat stress by closing my wardrobe doors. I cannot close my doors as the temps will rise exponentially. I have no ventilation system apart from my bedroom windows and my bedroom door that I occasionally leave open to get a draft through I also have a tower fan that rotates a breeze around the room. It works, kinda.. Anyway first couple of weeks it died, then nutes came and I somehow managed to revive it by realising if I leave my doors open, it would actually grow! A few days before it met it's demise I was watching a couple vids on defoliation and I thought well if it can be revived and brought back from the dead then I could try this method and gave it a haircut. Barry is now looking sharp, it's my first plant that is in its further stages and the bud sites are looking good so far. It's less than a meter tall. 7 weeks veg time. Just started to flower. Trimmed two branches the leaves. Tell me what ya think?
Note: Gelato 25 is apparently a rare strain. I found this out not so long ago and the place I got them from doesn't sell them anymore, aka Barry Bond named after a famous baseball player. Some may find this a desecration to this amazing looking flower but it is what it is!
Considering I'm just a weed growing noob at the minute, the bud was dried (and cured for a week!) to a smokeable point for the flower to burst out with gentle myrcene and caryllophene aromatic terps that crackle over the crisp orange hairs that were doused in the crystals I had never experienced a high from from a plant like this before as I was currently their coughing my arse off so damn much thinking it was going to be absolute shit! Mate it was a banger.. It looked like nothing like pictures I've seen on the internet and it generally looked like nice bud just not "top shelf" quality.
With all correlating events and the underlying factors, plus chuck in an absolute noob... Thus pretty fucking good boooii !! Goo OOrrrrnnnn narrfakk Shout to UK/BritsihGrowers out there to! Peace.. All love from the Shire!
Good luck with your grow I hope you get the best taste of buds and healthy plants! Take care and stay lit! I will drop by sometimes to check on your process! Say hello if you ever visit my page!
Greetings from L.S.T 🙏🏼🌟
@Legendaryseedthumb, thanks man I will, I try to keep diary updated as much as possible, I have just updated it so be aware to check out the final stages of the Gelato #25 soon! :)
Hey dude! Barry Bond is looking good!😀Getting an optimal grow environment indoors can be quite challenging. Keep up the good work and hope you'll get a bountiful harvest.
@myrceneCB1, Tell me about it! This is my first time growing without a legit setup. I've had to overcome those certain challenges you maybe talking about ;) but thankfully I'm a resourceful ol'e chap and it's getting on rather well. I've not been keeping up to date with my website diary a lot at all as other things have taken place in my personal life and I've had to delegate priorities but will upload a more recent picture of good ol'e Barry as he in flush right now and looking very shiny! :)
