First off i wanna say how happy I am to be able to make these grows possible due to the affordable quality products from mars hydro. The 2.3 tent and ts1000 are a killer combo for the price!
I started this plant in a very small pot and transplanted it fairly late. Being my first auto, I didn't realise how fast this plant was going to grow. I wish I started it in a large pot.
This plant grew extremely fast with no training. The buds grew extremely thick and chunky with minimal sugar leaves and fan leaves. The smell in flower is very earthy, woody and creamy.
The buds were super sticky, and had a very nice earthy taste. The high was very good and strong leaving me on the couch wanting to eat a whole block of chocolate.
Here is some information from fast buds website.
Gelato has become a flagship for quality flavor since its creation in California, and our Gelato Auto is no different. A well-structured stable plant with distinct ice cream flavors, making it a great choice for extractions. And with lab reports boasting up to 26% THC, Gelato is without a doubt the most powerful strain we’ve ever created.
Bud AppearanceFrosty, orange pistil covered buds. Boasting a vibrant green color, with orangey golden frosty hairs, these buds will stick to your fingers with even just the lightest touch.Smoke ReportAn uplifting high, giggly and energetic. Great for creative minds looking to overcome writer’s block. If you’re new to smoking you may want to be careful, having a crazy 26% THC this strain will be very potent and can leave some couch-locked: smoke lightly, enjoy the creamy tastes and let the creativity flow within you.Plant AppearanceA rich green plant, that’s crystal-covered leaves will sparkle under the sun or grow lights. A more Indica-like structure, quite stocky and with lots of compact buds. As it approaches the end of its cycle you’ll see it cover itself in orange pistils.
Grow TipsAs a more Indica structured plant, some light defoliation could be recommended to help growth in the lower sections of the plant. A carbon filter is highly recommended, as she’s one of our smellier strains. Growers should also look to harvest around week 9 once they start to see the pistils turn slightly amber/orange. Her abundance in resin makes her a great choice for making oils or extractions. The flushing process should start approximately 10 days before the end of the cycle.FlavorA blend of earthy overtones subdued by sweet cookie flavorings and zesty citrus touches makes the smoke sweet and smooth, hinting at undertones of Ice cream.

Absolutely no issues while using these lights I absolutely love them!
I love the compact and cheap ts600 it let's off a nice amount of light by itself for early to mid veg in a small tent, and doesn't let off too much heat.
The tsw2000 is an absolute beast and fits my 2.6ft tent perfectly. I love the dimmable feature and the daisy chain ability. I also have a ts1000 that is perfect for seedlings and clones to mid veg by itself as it is dimmable and very compact!
Will definitely be using mars hydro when I upgrade to a larger tent and light for my veg room :)
Would definitely grow this strain again with some lst work and a large pot from the start I would hope to double the yeild atleast.
I'm a fan of the chunky buds atm and this plant has some nice chunky buds!
The smell is very earthy and a little bit of sweet. Smooth taste and a pretty heavy high! Buds are super sticky.
I have heard alot about fastbuds and I will continue to purchase there seeds!
If it wasn't for mars hydro and there affordable products I wouldn't be here!
It's some kind of beetle and probably not something that is going to affect your grow at all... I've not been able to find EXACTLY what kind of beetle it is (probably of the genus Sternolophus) but I wouldn't worry about this little guy at all.
Good luck!
Healthy looking gelato girl here ned✌️ you've got a few diarys going now I see I'll be following your journey growmie 🙌🙌 good luck and keep up the good work
Hey @smokeymcpot420,

@BarneyRumble420, Thanks so much man so stoked on my first harvest she is bloody sticky as hell! Can't wait for cooler temps though I think I can do better :)
Also I did t use any nutes on this plant just dry amendments, and I had no issues with deficiency or toxicity. Super sticky smoke aswell. Don't think I'll use bottle nutes ever again!
