Didn't think I would have time for a diary. I decided to make time. Here goes with these herbies auto gelato. Looking forward to growing these puppies. Herbies always impressive never let me down yet. These are looking great for a little over 2 weeks. I could swear I see pre flowers . I hope not looking for at least a 5 week Veg. Damn hope not. If so that's means this shouldn't take long.
Later fellow stoners....!
High bro,
I also wanted to share the link from this website with all the growers that did or are growing the Herbies Auto Gelato strain.
You can learn a lot from them and I looked into a few. They all start to flower around week 4
Here is the link:

3 weeks in and these puppies are growing better then expected so far. I know it will continue. Trying to maintain and keep optimal conditions. Defoliated just a few of the fan leaves. About 3 from each plant to expose lower area of plant. No scrog letting it grow as it wants. Defoliated early so I know it will recover. Having a hard time trying to reply to comments. Would love 💖 to thank everyone for there comments and suggestions keeper coming.....!

Nothing but good news. I would say alls well for 4 weeks. What your verdict.... started LST on small pup to open her up a bit to get light inside . Also raised light to hopefully get some height.
1 small pup, 1 taller same strain. Overall I'm pleased. Coming along nicely. Going to change the watering less for. They seem to love nutrients. Performed some leaf tucking lst and light defoliation. Hope this is the last till harvest.... week 6 starts 1-5-23 Will update Happy New Year....! Training wheels adjusted 1-3-23
1-4-23. , this week makes day 37 from seed. Will slowly start with bloom nutrients. They're coming along nicely I would say for the start of six weeks. Even impressed with the small pup had a friend who said just get rid of it, glad I didn't..Watering the bigger pup 2x a day ,.The smaller pup once every 3 days. Stopped LST..I'd say great for six weeks. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. 1-6-23 , Readjusted Nutrients,Pups seem to be adjusting well
Thanks,Happy Growing..! Friends
Looking good!
I suggest giving them some time to rest. Four to six hours of lights off each night will help them out and be less stressful to them. I bet they might even start praying to the sky if you gave them a little rest each night!

1-16-2023 Pups are really growing pace is fast. Raised the smaller pup with a plant stand. Still on 20 light schedule More LST Was done to even out canopy everything is OK. So what you think 3''plant stand was good idea. More PK less N in the coming weeks.Warm water flush 1-16-23 to remove salt for new Nutrient solution on 1-18-23 more bloom less growth they love ❤️ Nutes.......!
Today Started 44 days from seed pups doing well . Also started 20Hr light program. And full strength nutrients that they seem to enjoy. Also did a very light defoliation and tucking. Always looking from constructive criticism. Let's go comments.
Nice, i'm glad you decided to go with some darkness in your light cycle! You'll notice a difference in how happy your plants are.
Good job on defoliating, as well. You opened up a decent amount of buds to better light and that's the goal. They'll have plenty of fuel to fatten up and grow, now.
Keep it up, growmie!
Hey.. first of all, I don't know why you're addressing your question to me - this isn't a chat forum - you can chat with other growers privately by using the little airplane in the bottom right-hand of your screen... But since you've asked me, I will say that you did as much defol and I would have done and I think it looks good. As long as bud sites aren't being shaded, you've certainly got enough air movement through at least your big pup... hard to tell with the little one. But no, it looks good to me...
Cheers...
1-19-2023 day 51 week 8 🐶 are doing great. Even the smaller one seems to be picking up. The larger 🐶 looks like about another 3 weeks , the flowering stretch which started in the latter part of week 6 seems to have stopped. If so then the swelling of pups should start. Updated nutrients more Pk less N along with Pk Boosters per manufacturers instructions . Really had to LST / (Restrain) both pups. Getting a little big for there britches I actually am impressed I restrained the main stem on the larger pup an it gave me 5 even sized colas on main stem. When I open tent in the morning I smell a strong hunt of Lemon. Glad I didn't give up on runt.A little TLC goes a long way. Also performed a light defoliation. Will place larger pup in window around week 10 want try to stimulate colors with cooler temps.
Larger pup doing well. Smaller pup playing catch up but coming along nicely. It seems as though the smaller pup has just started flowering, if so she's going to be a beast. She's LST trained and very light defoliation only upper shaded leaves removed or tucked. Will go 12-13 weeks depending on color of buds and trichomes cloudy to amber 90-10 then flush for 5 days. Always open to comments.
This is the beginning of week 9 thinking of Flushing the larger pup. I want to flush for 2 weeks. Open to all suggestion. I know that bud's do continue to swell during flushing so I'm not worried. Just want to time this just right . Which should make a total of 12 weeks.
Far too early..........wait until you have about 95% brown pistils, flush for 2 weeks and harvest when you have 98-99% brown pistils.
They look like they will need another 4 weeks or so.......the packet instructions are waaaaaaay optimistic when it comes to timing.
"Flushing" really means just stoppng fertilizers for the last two weeks before harvest, not drowning your plants with gallons and gallons of water.
Almost the begin5of week 11 larger pup not drinking any water started Flushing. Removed dead or dying fan leaves and made a light trimming which will make harvesting easy. Small pup started pre flowering at 7 weeks is continuing to pick up pace actually flowering now as of this post. Have adjusted nutrients accordingly at 1/2 of manufacturers recommended usage.
I swear the small pup started pre flowering around 7 week. So nutrients have been adjusted accordingly. Is that even possible. Might just go back to photos. Auto's to iffy
is that showing only preflower at nodes or do you see pistils developing at terminal and axillary buds?
if so, just slow AF auto, i guess.. possibly environment? genetics?...
otherwise if just leafy (can't tell in pics for certain), it may just be a photopeiod... at 10 weeks... photos can show preflowers at nodes in vege. .. sometimes it's a seed mix up, sometimes it's pollen contamination, sometimes it's poor breeding practices, but you can get an "auto" that clear is not an auto occasionally.. should be a rare thing.
got a 2nd light? try giving it 12/12 and isolate it until end... again, only if you do not see pistil development outside of preflowers at gowth nodes. if you do, it's finally going into flower.
Smallest pup continues to be a late bloomer. Definitely female pistills forming on tops and nodes. Pup seems to grow exponentially based on how far its come. It's a very slow auto. It's alone in tent by itself to receive all my attention. Just glad I followed it through. Going to increase bloom nutes with a pk booster medium dosage and see what happens
2-16-23 , LST is over this is the beginning of week 12 i stopped using the Grow big. The tiger bloom & big bloom have traces of N in small doses so mostly focusing on blooming . And she seems to adjusting well enjoying the new dose of nutrients .
This will be the last week. Close up of trichomes cloudy some dark, leaves changing colors pistills dark and shrunken. Will be getting the chop sometime this week.
