GELATO AUTOPOT

26-11-2022 Off to a good start, She should now pick up some growth. She rode high in the cube also . Had to split the cube and re seat her because her roots were above and looked narrowed Not sure if that might have a affect on her survival, we'll just have to wait and see. Starting off with a small deep water culture 2 gal with airstone. Going to make it a lot easier to just pass her into the Aeroponic envirnment. Less shock and gives me a chance to put her in a 5 gal bucket with clean fresh temperater adjusted water prior to her switch in a few weeks. She's got her first wings!😎 1-12-2022 Had to do a little surgery on the cube. Girl was riding high so I split the cube and reinsurted her root lower then tied up the cube with a twisty . She is doing much better now. she like to dance now.😎

3-12-2022 She is going to be a bushy one. Growing quickly since i raised the wattage to 440.😎

10-12-2022 Growing like crazy Changing the nutrition soon. She is growing and spreading out started trimming a little bottom growth. I will be topping her soon also.😎

17-12-2022 Changing the nutrition soon. last change before the transfer over the holidays to the Aeroponic System. The room still heats up increasing the reservoir temp somewhat. Which i thought might cool was the changing of the light from MH to LED I Still might upgrade with a water cooler. Just got to justify a 400 investment when i just dropped 500. 😎

24-12-2022 Not much has changed other than she is a little bigger and i topped her. Not sure if I am going to change the grow system up completely. Have had a few power failures which is wearing me thin.😎

31-12-2022 End of the year and end of Aeroponics for me anyways. The power outages the last few weeks have been enough, so the new year brings a new welcomed plan of attack. rather than setting up some backup battery , I purchased a Autopot xl system. I's self watering with a reservoir using gravity to feed. Inside the pot there is a cone (accessories) that is fitted with an air line/pump, which produces air through the Soilless root system apparently increases yield. I will run a circulation pump with an air stone on timers.in the reservoir. If the power goes out for any lengthy event i start the generator for the light if it's in that cycle.😎

7-1-2023 She is recovering nicely and settling into her new home. I've stopped the top feed and started the reservoir. All is working as it should. Started pulling out the bottom leaves and clean her up a little since she seems to be growing like a bush bean lol. I will install a Bud cage soon to help with support and training.😎

14-1-2023 Cage is now installed and she has been trimmed a little below. Starting to tie her down a wee bit. She is a bushy one for sure. just a few more weeks of veg to go.😎

21-1-2023 A real bushy girl that needs a lot of attention and grooming. Hmm sounds like most girls lol. Another week of veg for this one then flip the cycle. Hoping she will stretch a bit or a lot would be sweet. Seems the Crop King seeds develop small plants.😎

28-1-2023 Nestled in the corner she is a beauty with nice firm infrastructure and thick heavy leaves. Her base is large and started her flower cycle and changed the nutrition. Hoping she will do some stretching in the next few weeks.😎

4-2-2023 Into the 2nd week of flower and she is doing a little stretching ,hopefully she does a little more. Even though i thinned her out a little she has managed to bush it up even more. Some hairs are starting to pop out as she adapts to the seasonal change.😎

11-2-2023 Very nice and dense bush. She is developing some chunky bud. Her stems are thick and her base is huge. Coming along nicely.😎

18-2-2023 Just a 18 inch stretch so far but she is solid like a rock. The base is thick and her supports are short and stubby. Buds are progressing nicely. Still rather short but doing what she can.😎

25-2-2023 Packing up the bud. This girl is riddled with bud all up through the middle. She has a nice pungent smell to her and her buds are Hardening up nicely. Just a Quick 5-6 weeks more and 4wks Dry/cure till roll her up.😎

4-3-2023 Week 6 of flower is starting and she has gotten a wee bit larger. Developed a blockage in the feed line to the pot. Noticed she was a little droopy at the bottom. Moved her and she was super light no weight to the pot. Added nutrition to the bottom until she could suck no more up. Now to fix the problem. She survived lol. But you know2 if there were hundreds of these pots in a garden you could lose a few if you weren't keeping an eye on things. All is good she bounced back.😎

11-3-2023 Onto the final stages before harvest. We are into week 7 of flower and she is a sticky one. Nice large hard buds. a few weeks to build on as i see not a single red hair. She is building up the middle of her stem and seems to have caught up after her bought with dehydration lol. Got to keep an eye on those feed lines for blockages.😎

18-3-2023 Could be into the final week of flower. The Trichomes are starting to cloud and very few amber. It's far different than being on a Aeroponic Spray Flushing is lowering Nutrition somewhat but virtually impossible to lift and put into a tray or pail. There be big sticky buds coming close to harvest. She has still a lot of foliage and nice hard bud. She could have done a little better had she not been short in stature compared to another in this mix. I wouldn't have had to raise the light so much.😎

25-3-2023 Colors are starting to be more pronounced as she comes to her final week or not. Probably looking to a Good Friday Harvest of those sweet smelling eggs. 💪😎 Minor Feeding as she goes into Shop Vac Flush next week. Harvest just around the corner.
