Stoned_Skeletor The gelly had a few small initial problems probably due to my mistake in the germination greenhouse, but I have to say it bounced back very quickly.

Stoned_Skeletor Great growth, no problems so far.
It's growing fast and strong, and since I've been using the Biobizz water-only method, it's also very simple.
Right now I have the light at 50%, and I have to say it's staying low.

Stoned_Skeletor Everything is going well this week too. The fan leaves have gotten bigger and the green is dominating. Soon I'll add the second biotabs tablet to give it the last nitrogen boost before pre-flowering.

Stoned_Skeletor Very good this Gelato, it stays small but compact. I'm waiting for it to develop its root system well, to start watering more. Fortunately, no issues with deficiencies or anything. Unfortunately, temperatures are rising, so I have to keep the humidity higher. All in all, I'm satisfied for now.

Stoned_Skeletor Good week, apart from a few lower fan leaves falling due to the fixed fan, nothing major. It's entered the flowering stage and seems to be uniform in the flowers; I just hope the light can make them a bit more compact as well.

Stoned_Skeletor The gelly is the longest-lasting plant so far, no particular problems, buds are forming and there's no slowdown in growth. The only downside is the space, unfortunately, it's a bit cramped.

Stoned_Skeletor Super hot week with peaks of 40 degrees, so big difficulties in keeping the temperatures that are skyrocketing. Fortunately, though, the plant is doing well and is continuing to grow lush. I will extend the harvest by 10 days while also reducing the light hours to maximize everything.

Stoned_Skeletor This week the gelly has slightly swollen, and she has also started the 10-15 days of just water before the cut. I'm sure the bouquet of aromas from the gelly will captivate me, especially since my first plant was actually a gelato and a red critical, but unfortunately it didn't turn out as it should have. Fingers crossed!

Stoned_Skeletor Week of just water for the gelly. The plant seems to have finished growing, the buds are well-formed and the smell isn't strong for now.
The buds are very dense and fox tail-shaped, a characteristic of the gelato.
We're eagerly awaiting the magical harvest!

Stoned_Skeletor The gelly has changed color! From green, it has gone to this shade between purple and red with orange pistils!
Very beautiful to see, and I must say it also inspires other thoughts 😆🤐🌫️
Hey there friend. Would you be alright with me offering some pointers? So cannabis plants LOVE heat and humidity. It is the buds that hate it. In veg we want to take advantage of this fact to help our plants grow along much quicker and more vigorously. In veg we can look for temps of 79-84 MAX with lights on & no more than 9 degrees less with lights off. If we allow for too much temperature swing between lights on and lights off while the plant is still growing vertically up to day 20 of flower, We will cause the plant to stretch ALOT which we do not want. So in veg & early flower, Keeping our temperature gaps nice and close between lights on and off is key. Utilizing humidity in our rooms during veg will also help out a lot with more rapid growth but we must introduce it properly. In our rooms we have our temperature and humidity set-points, But when we combine those 2 it forms a third set-point which is the most important & that is called VPD, Vapor pressure deficit.
I strongly recommend every new grower or old grower who has not learned it yet, To study and understand it & implement it into your room, Logging your numbers daily.

For soil, We generally want to go for a PH of 6.1
This website does a GREAT job of illustrating it with a nice graph & very good detailed explanation for soil.
https://autoflowerseedshop.com/cannabis-ph-chart-guide/
As we briefly touched on before, During veg & early flower we want our temperature gap's nice and tight to avoid stretch. Why exactly our plants stretch in response to this is a genetic trigger being activated by the environmental stress essentially telling the plant the end of the season is closer than it really is. In veg & early flower the plant is still in its first stage of development which is to grow up wide and tall so when it produces seed, It can cast them out nicely. Remember, Whether we are growing our plants for seed or bud their genetic responses do not change as they gh sidedo not know any different. Once the plant has finished that first stage of growth by weeks 4-6 of flower with most strains, It is by day 20 of flower. Autoflowers you have to watch for it, But once the plant has finished this goal its new mission is to focus 100% on producing nice big flower clusters & to get very sticky so it can attract pollen to it successfully.
So once that vertical growth is finished, We actually now want to begin to expose our plants to larger temperature swings between lights on and lights off. This will help activate that genetic response and allow us to draw out the most potential from the strain utilizing the plants genetic triggers to environmental stresses at the right times. We can also take this a step further with doing light deprivation in the last 2 weeks using less light to simulate cloud cover. Very cold feed temps on the last flush is very good too. If you do not have them already, Get yourself a good PAR meter & thermal laser temp gun to monitor your plant top temperatures & optimize how much light your plants are getting. We are currently in the middle of producing a very comprehensive tutorial series for everybody to learn from & understand how to grow the highest level craft cannabis all on their own. If this interests you please check out our youtube and subscribe. The first 2 episodes are out the next one is coming in a few days. If you should ever have any questions or need any help, Please feel free to follow my profile and shoot me a DM. I will gladly help you with the pull down & make sure you get the best quality harvest possible as it is the most important step of the entire process. I really think you would benefit from our tutorial series on youtube, Our channel is linked off our main grow diaries profile. We just put up week 3 of plant life care so you got time to subscribe and catch up before the next episode is out! I look forward to seeing you over there and hearing your feedback to better help me shape the tutorials
Happy growing friend!
@LegacyMarketFarm, thanks for the tips! I already use the VPD chart, I'm missing the PAR and thermal meter, but little by little I'll manage to get everything. I'm sure I'll learn something from your videos 😁😁😁
@Stoned_Skeletor, Thank you so much for the support friend! We are doing our best to slowly piece it all together for the new grower to learn how to grow REAL craft cannabis at home from start to finish. Make sure to subscribe so you do not miss any future episodes. Our next series will be a bit more advanced introducing C02 & a bit more of the complete feed recipe, Then the one after that will go onto photoperiods and add in the rest of the organic element to the feed recipe & mothering,cloning & basics in phenohunting.
Hey there, Thanks so much for growing our genetics, will be excited to see them all flourish ☘️ Let us know if you need any assistance, we’re more than happy to help 😎 Happy Growing !!!
Hey @Stoned_Skeletor,
Thanks a bunch for growing our Gelato Auto, and sharing this diary with us :)
You have some really nice photos here!
We hope that it was a nice experience, and that you enjoy the harvest
