Gorilla Glue Auto, Gelato Auto

dlc_2324 Started seedlings in compost mix until, they sprouted. Looking back I would start seedlings directly in growing medium. Added coco coir mix on top ofGelato, however wasn't left to breath in container for the first few days so slight mould developed.

dlc_2324 All plants transplanted to bigger pots with coco mix, which should give the plant enough nutrients for the around 3-5 weeks. Pots watered around every 3 days.

dlc_2324 This week I introduced LST technique, had to be careful as the plants were still quite delicate.

dlc_2324 This week I noticed all plants started the pre-flower stage, I also continued to train plants. Plants hadn't been fed in 4 weeks, so all plants were given a fresh topping of; CAL-MAG (1ml), VEG 4-4-4, BLOOM 2-4-8, WORM CASTINGS (3TBSP) . I also PH'd the water to around 6, to prevent nutrient lockout. I noticed slight yellow/brown spots on one GELATO 1 plant, not entirely sure what caused it but growth seems quite strong. Fingers crossed the new feed helps it recover. Light increased to 18.

dlc_2324 Still continued using top feed of Veg 4-4-2 and Bloom 4-4-4, however I missed the worm castings this week. Lights are running at 75%. I did snap one of the top stems on the Gelato 1, I've taped it up and will see how it recovers. I've started a new crop that includes a few wedding cake autos. Will be sharing the same space until I get a vegetation tent.

dlc_2324 Gelato is showing the most growth, switched the top feed from a Veg + Bloom mix to a mix of bloom and worm castings.

dlc_2324 All plants are now in the flowering stage, so I have just fed them with castings and bloom. I have removed the dead leaves from the bottom of all plants, and cleaned up the lower areas of the plants. I've been watering the plants every 3 days with around 3l of water; I have now upped the water to 5l as I found plants were very dry when it came to watering.

dlc_2324 Noticed some yellow/brown spots forming on Gelato strain. I thought it could be leaf rust, so I treated with fungicide and removed the affected leaves. Apart from that all strains are full into flower and growing well. Still using a top feed of bloom + worm castings.

dlc_2324 Buds started to show trichomes, so I'm just keeping an eye on the colour. They aren't as dense as I want but they should beef up before harvest time

dlc_2324 Buds have gotten alot fatter since the previous week, and I think they're close to harvest. I've stopped feeding the plants now, and just use pH'd water so the plants use up what ever Nutrients are left. I'll be checking trichomes every other day but I reckon they'll be ready to chop withing the next 2 weeks 🤞
