Organic Gelato-K / My First Grow Ever <3

The seventh day in the soil. Nothing interesting is really happening. After all, the plant is wider rather than taller. The store screwed up my order. I'm still waiting for the humidifier. I'm using a cut down bottle to maintain at least 55% RH throughout the day. For the past few days the sun has been giving heavily making my RH drop. Only when the sun goes down is the RH at 65-75%. Not too bad, as long as it goes forward. I plan to build a solid scrog net over the weekend, because I want to use this training when growing. Cheers buds

On day 12, I noticed yellowing of the first two leaves and a slowdown in the plant's growth. I received some advice to repot the plant into a larger pot and feed it, so I did. As a novice grower, I made three significant mistakes in the process. After the night shift, I rushed to repot the plant and, as usual at 7:00 a.m., turned off its light for 6h. So the first one is haste. The second mistake was digging too deep a hole for the seedling. When trying to place it higher, I had the impression for a while that I tore some roots, but let's hope I was wrong, and let's hope everything ended well. The third mistake I made was not fastening the Airpot with two clamps. To be precise, I fastened one at the top as a result, after filling the pot and trying to lift and move it to the box, a sizable amount of soil just slid into the container where I mix the soil. Somehow I managed to get it all together and the plant seems to be alive. The photos are from yesterday after repotting, it's been a day and the plant looks good. More stems and leaves have started to develop, I'll be topping soon. Now the observation remains and we'll see you next week! I will add that the plant gives off a very delicate smell of fresh lemon, it does not yet need to put a filter. ;)

Quick update, later I will write something more, becouse now I have no time :D

We are in the fourth week of vegetation! When the weekend came, I finally found more time. On top of that, a good 3 days I hadn't poured her water, so I thought it was the perfect time to try LST. The first LST behind me. It came out spontaneously and I think it's not too bad. By the way, I accidentally slightly tore the lowest twigs and broke off some leaves. As a result of the stress, she got a slight stunting, but I hope that after treatment she will move forward much faster. I think I'll have max 2 more weeks of vegetation and turn it into the flowering stage at the end of the month. At the end of the week I will install the netting. I keep my lamp at 35cm/75%. Plant has also weak, but very nice smell of hash, cookies and earth.

We've had a month since the seed went into the ground. It's been a week since LST started. I took out almost all the wires yesterday, leaving only the ones holding the stem. I think it was a mistake to hold it by all the twigs at such an early stage, right after the stem was bent, because I had the impression that only the stem and twigs were getting thicker, and the construction of the subsequent tiers seemed to have slowed down. I should have waited with this until they grew more. However, I think that the decision to bend the plant itself was a good one, but next time I will wait a little longer or do it a little differently. After removing the wires, I noticed faster growth of the next floors of the main peaks, and there are 10 of them ^^ The plan is that I am unlikely to try scrog training. I'll save it for another time when I'm better prepared for it. Well, and I would need another 2tyg of veg for it, and I don't feel like waiting that much more. So, I will wait about 7 more days for the main peaks to grow and move away from each other, do defoliation and change the light to 12/12 to start flowering. And on induction I will try to expose and inhibit the rapid growth with wires. The light is at 100% 65cm away from the plant. It gives her +-600 ppfd. Last week of wegetation I will increase it to 700-800ppfd. Tomorrow will come to me another TS1000 lamp, I ordered for myself to celebrate my 1000 days without drinking alcohol. :D Edit, day 35: We have 35 days of vegetation. Today I did a defoliation and some LST to push back the main peaks. I accidentally broke one of the main peaks of the main branches, but I'm hoping it will knit back together. The plan is that after defoliation I give it time to rest until Monday and on Tuesday I change the light to 12/12 to start flowering so that the whole vegetation lasts 40 days max.

I was away from home for a few days. Upon my return I found this beautiful sight! I keep thinking about switching to flowering. Maybe I will wait until Thursday, when there will be a full 6 weeks of vegetation. I will do it on Thursday at the latest. Unfortunately, one of the pinnacles that I broke earlier has not fused. I decided to remove it, I guess this can be counted as topping. ^^ Day 41 Defoliation before going into bloom. I hope I didn't overdo it. I also lowered the branches to make them even. It got a boom boom spray. During all this I burned the humidifier, so it will go without it until the end. Somewhere from under the leaves flew out some black fly such a small 5mm and narrow. I don't know if it's not biting my leaves, tomorrow I'll do some tidying up of the box and disinfect it decently. I'll give it a little rest now, and we'll start flowering already this week. Day 42, 6th week! About day 2 after defoliation. Before switching to flowering it looks perfect to me. It is large enough. 60cm at the widest point. I'll wait a few more days and move on.

Today is day 45, the first day of flowering. I decided to use a second TS1000 lamp during flowering. I don't know if it will do anything, but I hope that more light will reach more places and at least gently boost the yield. I will wait a few days for the first signs of flowering. Until then, let it be as a vegetative stage. I expect it to grow low and stocky and during flowering it will grow at most twice as big as it is, but I hope I'm wrong. I also hope that it will not turn out to be male sex.... In the middle +-580PPFD. Greetings. ^^

Day 49 Today 8.12 will be the seventh week. Nothing interesting is happening. On Sunday I switched to flowering and today after returning from work I noticed the first signs of the beginning of flowering on the main top. I sometimes have a problem with the humidity after turning off the lamp, as it can hit 70%. However, yesterday before going to work I turned up the ventilation almost twice and it was even at 53%. 😄 It is possible that I will invest in a dehumidifier to completely eliminate any humidity problems. For now, I'm happy that things are moving forward little by little. See you there! ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Day 56 15.12, 8 weeks. Another fun week behind us. The plant is blooming beautifully, today I start giving compost tea alternating with Bio PK 5-8. Someone told me that the former is nitro and the latter is glycerin, so together it is nitroglucerin of flowering. We'll see^^. The plant would be much taller now, but for now on a regular basis(and while I still have some space), with the help of wires I try to flatten it to create a flat screen so that nothing stretches out more into the light. Next week defoliation and removal of unnecessary branches. See you later!

24.12, day 64, 9 weeks and a 1 day of growth My princess is growing well. I cannot wait to harvest and taste her because she smells very sexy fresh lemon and thats drives me crazy. :/ I don't have much time for reports, now that I have time, I just want to say you all a Mery Christmas I wish you all prosperity and your dreams come true. I hope you will happily spend this time together with your family. Greetings! _________________________________________________________________

DAY #70 Slowly forward, generally boring! One plant is not enough.... A few days ago I trimmed some leaves and smaller offshoots. Strange things are starting to happen on the leaves and their tips, but I'm not worried about it as long as it's building more and more healthy looking tops. It sucks the energy completely out of the leaves that are lowest and don't get much light. So far I'm fine with the process, but I have to be careful that it doesn't start eating the leaves off the main tops. Oh, and I forgot to add that I applied LST again to all the main outer branches.... :D They started to cover each other and I couldn't stop myself. ^^ Growing MJ is great fun :)

Day 86. Hello, my plant is slowly blooming. I treated it very hard with a scalpel in order to cut out the smaller peaks. Over the course of a week I cut about 30 of them so the stress was overwhelming and slowing. However, I am counting on this to do more good than harm. I have a dream that it will turn purple and harvest in a month. It smells beautiful and is starting to get very sticky. <3 Greetings!

20.01 Day #92 Hello people! We have a 6 weeks and a one day of starting flowering now. Seed bank says it could be ready in 8 to 10 weeks so about 2-4 weeks more to harvest. I think she will finish late because I cut her very hard. I must say she is very brave and strong strain to train. Now I must be careful how long I keep open growbox because the smell is very strong. When I open it my whole house starts to smell weed. I can't imagine having more plants with such strong smell. Crazy. Cya later! :)

Day 106 or 107 idk really. :D 8 weeks and a 1 day flowering. I have not time for put news here and caring much about my grow. As you can see I must chill with adding Nitrogen I have used already almost all orgatrex. :D And Also you can see she is eating itself starting with leafs cuz i started to feed her too late in flowering stage. I've heard it's hard to stop this process in organic grow when it started. Sometimes i forget to give her calmag.. :D I think she will be ready to harvest in max 2 weeks. I will be watching trichoms. I would be glad for any advice cuz I have no plan what to do soon. I do everything spontaneously here. :D Greetings friends!

Hello everyone! Day 113-114 (idk really^^) 9 weeks flowering. Since Saturday, I have been pouring only water. I plan to cut the plant next Saturday. I cannot wait to do this. She smells very strong sour strawberries. 😋

Howdy! Today 10 weeks of flowering, about 120 day overall, idk really The situation is that Saturday was supposed to be scythe, but I think I will wait until Saturday/Sunday and only 2 days of darkroom I will do and then felling. I'll keep an eye on the trichomes, because the absolute majority of them are still transparent, but you can already see single amber ones appearing(I already had concerns that they would be transparent by the end. It's even catching purple on some of the tips of the sugar leaves, but it could be some other defect. ^^ Due to the fact that it's organics I guess I can pour water for the time being anyway, maybe it will stall this shearing for next week maximum. But I look forward to your advice! Some of the largest leaves from underneath get sucked out, completely dried to a chip(I don't move them) and rather no cause for concern. The only thing I noticed is that somehow these leaves have become limp, maybe not enough water? Temp day about 26-29, night 18-21. humidity 38-43%, lamps at 100cm/power 90%. 2L of water every 2 days. You can't see it that way in the pics, but a couple of the peaks are getting kind of square. The plant gives a sweetly sour smell of strawberries with a hint of caramel, which makes the very smell of this wonder stimulates the appetite and a nice mood. Greetings!

Hello good people Today marks the 11th week of flowering I think. :D Overall 127 days I think. So yeah, like a confession. I've been watering alone for somehow over 2 weeks now( Saturday will be the third week of just 2L water every 2 days) Seemingly everything's good, but what worries me is that, like I said, something can always go wrong at the end. So today I noticed that single bananas have started to form in places. On top of that, the trichomes are still rather transparent for the most part, there's something amber, some milky, but most are still transparent. And that's about it. As you can see from the photos, it's already starting to pull more and more from the leaves, but I don't know how much longer to keep it. The question is what about these bananas, I've read that it could be stress, genetics(the seed was as a freebie) or caused by the plant's desire to survive for the next year - self-pollinate and produce seeds? I suspect it's stress from cutting a lot of twigs, or too much light, as I recently gave pretty much both lamps to the max. I have read that, if it was at the beginning of flowering then the plant to be discarded, but if it is just before harvest then it would be best to gently remove them and as soon as possible, as the seeds will not have time to develop anyway. I would not want to throw everything in the garbage after such a time. I am counting on your advice. In general, I think I will cut these bananas right away with a scalpel and wait a little longer with the harvest. Today I should water after two days. I was going to do the cuttings over the weekend, but I'd like to take a chance and hold a little longer until the trichomes are clearly getting milk. Should a plant ready for harvesting already have all the hairs expanded and browned? Because I see that some of the peaks are still growing "new" ones. Greetings

Hello good people! I don't have much time so I did 48h darkness and today done harvest! It was so fun and easy! :D It came out 726g wet. But there are still large twigs.... I hope there will be at least 50g left after drying. Now time for drying and curring. I will write more If something happen.
