Gelato

Zarathustra 💀🏴‍☠️💀 Hello World... Day 1 for my 4 babies is the 14th February... 🏴‍☠️💀🏴‍☠️...We are now on day 4 and the baby girls are growing the second set of true leaves... I put the lamp higher at 1m distance, as they are too small and fragile to cope the 600 W of the HPS... Temps are ideal at 25°-26°C, I have a fan connected on my cooltube and it works just fine... Humidity is above 60% which is super... I keep the soil moist... No nutes until week 3... The lights are running on a 18/6 schedule... 🏴‍☠️💀🏴‍☠️...20/02/22 We are on day 6... The babies are growing vigorously and I am surprised... During my previews grows I was putting the seedlings for their first 2 weeks under a low wattage led... This time I decided to try the HPS from day 1... The results are great... The babies are swallowing the light with hunger... I have to be careful with the soil drying fast... I water them every second day with tap water, ph 7... 🏴‍☠️💀🏴‍☠️21/02...On day 7 the girls are beautiful..I will be waiting for a few days and then I will transplant them in their final homes .. That's all for the first week of my little Gelatos.. see u next week... 💀 Thus spoke Zarathustra... 🏴‍☠️💀🏴‍☠️

Zarathustra 💀🏴‍☠️💀 Hello World... 💀❌💀...I am growing 4 photoperiod Gelatos inside a 1,6x1,6x2,0 m tent and I am using a 600W Hps since Day 1... 🏴‍☠️💀🏴‍☠️...22/02/22... We are entering the 2nd week of vegetation,we are on day 8... The girls are beautiful... One of them has a pair of curly leaves but it was probably due to light stress in the first days... The new growth is just fine... I have seen the roots coming out of the solo cups... It's time for transplant... I am waiting for new pots and fresh coco coir to be delievered to me and I will then do the surgery... Just plain water for now... 🏴‍☠️💀🏴‍☠️...24/02/22 (Day 10)...I sneaked inside my secret place during midnight and I transplanted the babies in 13 L pots... I used coco coir... My tent is ready for action... I placed a fan for a slight breeze, the cooltube has a fan installed on it blowing hot air out of the tent... Temps are good, at 24°-26°C... I have 3 more photos inside the tent (Widow Haze) and 3 little autos, that have just sprouted... 10 plants in total... When I harvest the autos I will switch to 12/12 for the photos and hopefully 11-13 weeks after I will harvest them... This is my plan but I am pretty sure there will be obstacles and challenges ahead... Growing in my country is illegal ❌❌❌👮‍♂️👮‍♂️👮‍♀️☠️☠️☠️⚰️⚰️⚰️ ... so I have to deal with safety issues as my tent is hidden in a very safe but at the same time "dangerous" place... Also I have to manage to keep the conditions inside the tent ideal... Where I am is very cold during the winter and too hot during summer... I live in Nowhereland and the climate here is fucked up... The HPS is like a radiator......during the winter I change the lamp height and this way I control the heat emitted on the plants...But during hot months we have a problem...until then we'll see...Long way ahead... Anyway... New home for my babies... I feel anxious to see how they will react after the transplant... 🤘🌱💀🏴‍☠️🤘... 🏴‍☠️💀🏴‍☠️... 27/02/22(Day 13)... The girls are doing great in their new homes... I noticed their color is a bit light so I decided to feed them... I used 1/4 of the recommended dose...💦🌱☀️ •Biocanna BioVega (3-1-5) 0.5 ml/L •Guanokalong Grow (6-0-3) 0.4 ml/L •Liquid Blood Meal (12-0-0) 1 ml/L I keep it organic and I will go smoothly with feeding... This week we keep it on 1/4 of the recommended dose... Next week 1/2 and so on... Meanwhile, the following days I will be upgrading my ventilation system... 💨🌡️... I got myself a new fan with a thermostat and a speed controller... And for the first time in my growtent I will have a carbon filter... The tent is a bit messy and I have to place everything in order before the girls grow... I will change the whole ducting, new tubes, new wires, new everything...I also bought a scrog net, to try it for the first time and a bottle of Cal-Mag as coco coir has none of these two and the girls need it, the have shown it with small yellow tips and purple stems...

Zarathustra 🏴‍☠️☠️🏴‍☠️ Hello World, ... My little Gelatos🍦 are entering the third week of their lives on 01/03/22... 💀🏴‍☠️💀...02/03/22(Day 16)...The growth of the babies is remarkable...The temps are low inside the tent when lights are out but I can't do anything for that...What I did is a total makeover of my tent ..I installed a new fan with a built-in thermostat and power control...I keep the ventilation low as it is still early...When I enter the room I can smell a grass scent in the air so the following days I will be installing my new carbon filter...I even changed the ropes,cables,hatchets... Today I fed the girls with organic veg nutes and some cal/mag from Biobizz...The coco coir is poor in Calcium and Magnesium so I gave them some of it to prevent any issues...What I don't have is a pH meter...However I don't think I will have any issues with it as the coco coir has a pH of 6.0-6.8 and the organic nutes I use don't need any pH correction...I will buy one day I promise 😭...So today I fed the girls with Bio Canna Bio Vega, Guanokalong Grow, liquid blood meal and Biobizz Cal/mag...I think they are hungry, I can tell from their color...Also their height is almost ideal for LST,which I will be doing by the end of this week..Just good old LST...I am also thinking of trying the ScroG method...I have never done it before and I am still trying to learn as much as I can by reading and watching videos...Maybe I will try it sometime... That's it for today.... 💀🤘☠️ 💀🏴‍☠️💀... 05/03/22(Day 19)... I am very happy with the girls and they look happy as well... I keep feeding them when they are thirsty😭... They are looking great, what can I say... My new equipment works perfectly, everything is placed correctly and the girls thrive inside an ideal environment for them... 💀🏴‍☠️💀... 07/03/22(Day 21)... As you can see in the last photo the girls are very happy.... They are ready for LST, which I will be doing in the following days... That's it for this week .. See u 🤘☠️🤘

Zarathustra ☠️🏴‍☠️☠️ Hello World ... 💀🏴‍☠️💀... 08/03/22(Day 22) we are entering the fourth week... My Gelatos are growing vigorously and they are very happy... I feed them with organic nutes from Biocanna, Biobizz and Guanokalong... No problems until here... 💀🏴‍☠️💀... 09/03/22... (Day 23)... I did that LST I was talking about... I bent all four of them and I was tempted to do some topping on one of them, but I didn't... I have done it a lot in the past and every time I feel bad, like I am hurting the plant😭😭... Yesterday I fed them with the recommended dose... Inside the tent everything is great... I have 13 plants... 4 of them are the Gelatos, 3 are Widow Haze photos and 6 are various autoflower seedlings... Got some pics right after the LST and I will get some tomorrow to check out how the leaves have reacted... Right after the training the plants look abused and messy😭.. After some hours the leaves turn again towards the light and they create that round shaped bush... I love that... 💀🏴‍☠️💀... Thursday 10/03/22(Day 24).... The girls have reacted good and turned towards the light... I think I should have been more aggressive with LST at first, but in the following days I will have to adjust the soft wires again, so I will be harder on them... Meanwhile those 3 Widow Haze photos inside my tent have all grown the thickest indica leaves I have ever seen.... They are so fat and big... Haze varieties are supposed to be sativas, but these leaves are so indica ... 💀🏴‍☠️💀... 10/03/22(Day 25)...I adjusted again the wires, pulling the main stem down as they had turned upwards after the first session of LST... I said I was going to be more aggressive 😂... I was tempted to water them but I will let the coco coir dry out first... Also I think I will feed them with every other watering and not every time they drink, just to be sure I won't have any overfeeding issues... Up to now they are doing well .. Today snow fell in my region... I live by the sea and it's strange to see that here . The temps inside the tent are a bit low so I turned off the fan that blows on the girls... The cooltube works like a charm sucking out the heat from the HPS... I also got a new 600W HPS lamp which I will be using when I switch to flower... 🤘 ☠️🏴‍☠️☠️... Tuesday 15/03/22(Day 28)... The week is finishing today... Everything goes well I think, the ahiw goes on... ☠️ Thus spoke Zarathustra...

Zarathustra ☠️🏴‍☠️☠️ Hello World, 💀🏴‍☠️💀... Wednesday 16/03/22(Day 29)... Beginning of the new week for my gelatos... Today I used for the first time a pH meter and I was shocked... The pH of the solution was at 8.6.... I'm so glad I bought this meter... Using pH Down from Vitalink I brought it sown to 6.5 and I hope the girls will appreciate it... I fed them today and I also got the EC value, but to be honest I am not familiar with it yet😭😭 I also had a terrible accident... I try to pull the main stem sown and readjust the LST wires and it broke... So I have accidentally topped one of the girls... It was a bad topping as I lost the main stem with 2 more nodes and their colas... Anyway, the damage is done I just keep on...

Zarathustra ☠️🏴‍☠️☠️ Hello World, 💀🏴‍☠️💀... This week has been bad... I had serious issues with the pH of the girls... All this time I was feeding them with too high pH water and when I finally got a meter and lowered it to 6.2 the girls were atressed out... A lot of leaves where damaged and others have suffered chlorosis... Anyway, this happened only to the big photoperiods... The autos are fine, no sign of stress... So, I flushed them with 6.2 pH plain water... I will flush them once more and I will wait and see how they will react... I have been really busy lately and I apologize for this weeks diary😭😭 ☠️🏴‍☠️☠️ Thus spoke Zarathustra...
