S04: Sweet Gelato Auto by Sweet Seeds

Hi guys. this is just a quick update on the Sweet Gelato Auto from Sweet Seeds. As some of you might probably know I had to scratch that Girl Scout Cookies project it finally didn't quite germinate. I went with a second Gelato, this time from Sweet Seeds because I want to experience nice flavors this Season. The plant is doing pretty well in the soil, I mist it with water every other day. It seems to be doing fine. I cranked up the power of the first Vipar Spectra P2000 to a maximum because I needed to raise the height of the light a little bit. I've checked everything with a light meter and it seems that I have it dialed in ;) I'm eager to see how it turns out :) XOXO Cremo

Hi guys, here's a quick update on the Sweet Gelato from Sweet Seeds. I'm not a fan of growing in soil and therefore I don't know much about it and the plant represents exactly my skills. I mean it's the second week of veg but I'm used to rapid hydro growth but anyway, hopefully it will turn out to be a great plant. It feels so good to be back in my tent again with all the craziness around in the last few months. Hopefully everything is back on track and soon I'll upgrade the whole setup to another level when the time is right. I've separated aka transplanted 3 of the plants into the second reservoir with some minor casualties (2 ripped off parts of roots) but other than that the rest went pretty well. The res with Orange Sherbet had a slight deficiency in nutrients and I had to make sure what was going on before I do something with the water, but after reading my plants for a few days I changed the water, adjusted the feeding and voila, the plants is back on track. I believe it's a small setback of a few days maybe. Soon I'll be able to add some Mycorrhizae so I should see the plants explode :D I'm also running all 3 lights from ViparSpectra (3x P2000) right now but the setup will change a bit in the coming weeks so stay tuned. Right now I try to adjust the light intensity using special light meter apps and the knobs on the P2000 are super helpful! The plants seem to love the lights too :D See ya! XOXO Cremo

Hi guys. This week looks a lot more promising than the last one. It started to adapt to the environment and the light conditions which are optimized for the plants in hydro. Hopefully it will turn out normal (for my lacking soil grow skills). I also started to give it a bit of nutrients and it seems to work :) Other than that, not much to report here. It's a small ass plant + lacking skills = nothing special :P Have a great day, guys! XOXO Cremo

Hi guys, all the plants exploded after the res water change with fresh nutrients. You can observe the size difference every single day! I've also started training them meaning tuckin' them down. I've also added a Co2 pad which needs to be sprayed with water every day. The root system is looking perfectly! White-yellowish, crispy, vigorous, having a good time in the solution roots. #yummy And here's the other Gelato, Sweet Gelato, this time from Sweet Seeds :) It has the most perfect fan leaves I've ever seen on a Cannabis plant. What a great week. Have a good one Cremo

Hi guys. Here's a quick update on the 4th season and the Sweet Gelato. I must admit that this plant has by far the most perfect cannabis leaves in its shape. They are perfect and the plant looks extremely symmetrical. It's just beautiful to watch All in all this grow is a blast. I thought that since I'm running unreleased strains, I might fall into some problems but other than the Mimosa Lemon which is a rather a joke than a cannabis plant it's all good :D The plants are fresh after 140L water change with fresh nutrients. They dig it a lot. I took these shot at night, that's why some plants might look sleepy (no, I don't mind turning the lights on for a few minutes at night to take a few shots). the Orange Sherbet will be the first to harvest. It already smells great because it's the first plant that developed trichomes. Next week, the plants should start smelling a lot better altogether. Right now, the only misinterpretation that I made was the Hadouken that's still in veg, don't know why since it's also a FastBuds strain but hopefully it'll switch soon enough because when it does, it'll be the biggest plant with the extended veg period. There is also one plant in the bunch that's an outlier! It's an unreleased strain from FastBuds and it's by far the strongest genetics I've seen so far. Very vigorous and it takes everything I give it and it looks ultra happy and healthy. I'm also super pumped for the following 4 weeks because I'm about to start shooting close ups next week when all the plants develop enough trichomes :D CAN'T WAIT! Other than that, it seems like the best season so far with some bomb ass genetics. Stay tuned because shit's about to go down next week! XOXO Cremo

ONE WEEK... What of a difference can one single week make? Holy fricking crap!!! That's what I call a proper flowering stretch! The ladies drank 40 litres of water with nutrients. They underwent a manicure and they looked like it didn't even matter. I try to go really easy with the defoliation this season because I want to see the potential difference in growth. I've put a scrog net over all plants. I can't stress it enough but Sweet Gelato has by far the best and perfect looking cannabis leaves I've ever seen. They're so perfect, it's a treat to watch! Other than that, the flowering and resin production is in full motion! That means the start of the macro shots for this season. I'm super pumped because I've waited for this moment whole 2 months!!! So please sit back, relax and take a close look at the trichome world of the Sweet Gelato! One last thing, Mimosa Lemon had to go! She transformed into a Hermaphrodite. Good, because I was sick of it! XOXO Cremo

WINTER IS COMING! Looking at the frost on all the plants, winter is definitely coming XD Welcome to another update of this grow season. We are slowly nearing the end. The plants stopped its flowering stretch a few weeks ago (besides Hadouken aka Amnesia Zkittlez which grew to whooping 70cm!). The plants are happy and are fattening up. The trichome production on all plants is insane! I can clearly define which strains are going to be harvest ready at first and Sweet Gelato is probably going to be one of the first that'll be chopped down. When I open the tent, I get blasted with a massive burst of fruity notes. The smell is insanely delicious! I just want to chop it down already and give'em a good cure because I can't wait until they're done :D Looking at the trichomes of Sweet Gelato, it'll be ready in around 2 to 3 weeks. It's definitely on the smaller size (in comparison to the plants in hydroponics), I believe that I'll probably harvest around 20-30g of dry flowers off of her. But anyways. Check out the macro shot for yourself. XOXO Cremo

Hi guys. It's the time of the season :D I welcome you to the Trichome World of Sweet Gelato! I truly love this part where I dive deep to take the best macro shots of these beautiful plants. I won't write a lot about this past week because it's been a breeze. The plants drink 40L of water every few days. I did some minor defoliation, just a few snips here and there. They seem to take it like nothing really happened. I still add the same amount of nutrients, I'm trying to keep them at a maximum of 750ppm. I don't see no deficiencies in all the different genetics so that's what I stick to for now. So just sit back, relax and enjoy the updates on all 7 plants that are a true treat to watch now :) XOXO Cremo

Holy frickin' shit! This is probably the frostiest week so far! God damn, all the plants are looking AMAZING!!!! I really encourage you to take a deep dive into the galleries of this season! Half of the plants are looking good for a chop, which means I'll harvest them in a few days! Looking at the trichomes, they are practically perfect for my taste. It's such a shame you guys can't see the full 42mpx version of these trichomes, they are looking like out of this world! The Viparspectra lights did an outstanding job this run! I highly recommend you try them out. It's not a coincidence that the plants are so frosty. Quality light is very important for good results, just like the perfect growing conditions. It's a no-brainer to me after trying them out. I've used 3 Viparspectra P2000 (3x200W) for this season, and the plant speak for itself. I'm in love the lights and the beautifully developed plants! The smell out of the tent is super sweet, the harvest ready plants are looking damn fine. I ran into a slight issue which I'm in the middle of solving but it seems not to be of a big of a deal. Now go check out the gallery and all the other updates I'm about to make in the coming few minutes! XOXO Cremo

Sweet Gelato was a blast to grow. It's definitely one of the most beautiful plants that I've grown. It's leaves were as perfect as they could be. It's overall a beautiful and tasty strain with an awesome smell.
