Gelat.OG Auto and Do-Si-Dos Cookies Auto

April 22, 2023 Day 58 So this week we are looking at Gelat.OG and how close she may be to end of flower. I think she has at least 3 weeks left, but she seems to be progressing pretty quickly. Do-Si-Dos Cookies is absolutely amazing! She has a lot of nice tall tops and is quite broad. 16" tall but just over 21" in diameter. The whole plant is covered in bud sites. Top to bottom. The best part, her canopy is so level she doesn't have a main top at all. It looks like a sea of tops. I'd guess around 20 to 25 total? I've also increased her base nutrients up to 6 ml/gal. Everything else I left alone for this week. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.8° RH: 52.9% VPD: 1.36 kPa April 23, 2023 Today Gelat.OG got a full watering. 1/4 gallon top feed and 3/4 in the reservoir. She is super frosty and the calyxes are swelling like mad. She's still reaching even after lifting her up. Weird. Anyway, she is healthy and happy. That's all I can ask for. Do-Si-Dos Cookies looks great! She's building buds and stacking up. Internodal spacing is about 3/4" all the way up. She has the most bud sites I've seen in any of my grows so far. Progress to perfection! Her water level is just fine. Maybe 1 liter of water last night, maybe a bit more. Her branches aren't quite hardened up yet, but they're getting there. She's still really early into flower. I've also taken a few more leaves off today. Very selective. This plant is super healthy. Not even a blip of stress. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.1° RH: 57% (rainy couple of days) VPD: 1.25 kPa April 24, 2023 So I hadn't taken a height measurement in a couple of days for Do-Si-Dos Cookies. I figured she had finished her stretch a week ago. Apparently not. She went from 16.5" to 19" and I have no idea if this was over the past 2 days or just overnight. I swear it didn't look like this yesterday. But yah, 19" in stretch and looks like she may stretch even more. Her buds are really starting to build up. And she took in a good 2 liters last night as well. I'll have to refill her reservoir either later today or first thing tomorrow. I don't want her missing out on sweet sweet nutrients. And she seems to very much enjoy them. If that helps her to grow even taller, I'm 💯 happy. A perfect DLI of 45. Gelat.OG is also doing quite well. She is packing more weight on and is definitely completely frosted over. It's not winter! Steady water intake. 1 liter in a day? She's too small to take in much more than that. I feel like she is very much enjoying the living soil with tiger bloom. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.3° RH: 55% VPD: 1.27 kPa April 25, 2023 Do-Si-Dos Cookies got a full gallon watering. Filled the reservoir up and took the rest of the gallon and top fed. Just a bit. Most of it went into the reservoir. This plant has turned into a beast. At least a beast for me. Hopefully she continues to stretch a bit more. Other than that, she is building buds and tops. Happy plant. And a quick update on her root system. It is massive. It spans around in in the entire bottom of the pot. This root ball is going to be massive. Extremely healthy roots from what I can see poking out. She also started growing roots higher on the stem anyway. So that's fantastic! Pretty sure she would have been great in a 5 gallon container. I'll have to remember that for the next time I grow her. Gelat.OG is looking great too. Still reaching. Weird. Bud production is fantastic. I'm definitely gonna have to run her again to know what she really grows like. She isn't taking in much water, but again, that is to be expected. Small plant and all. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.0° RH: 54.8% VPD: 1.22 kPa April 26, 2023 Do-Si-Dos Cookies is in full swing flower and is extremely thirsty. So thirsty that she seems to have overwhelmed the wick system. It's at a crawl now. So, I poured the rest of the reservoir into my sprayer and unloaded it on top. She may need another half gallon to get a bit of runoff though. The goal is to see how quickly the runoff gets wicked back into the container. It looks like the plant may be stretching a bit more as well. Bud production looks great. Already getting trichomes on the leaves. Can't wait to see how well she does. Gelat.OG has small buds mostly. Not as far as I thought they were getting. Maybe there will be a boost in production over the next 3 to 4 weeks. Lots of frost and an aroma that super sweet. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.3° RH: 53.2% VPD: 1.33 kPa April 27, 2023 Do-Si-Dos Cookies is really really thirsty. She took a gallon of nutrient water and I left the runoff in the reservoir. She's cruising through and it's starting to show. Buds are getting big pretty quickly. Hopefully this lasts a few days. I think the wicking system is back in order as well. We shall see. She's still filling out as well. Interesting. Not too leafy, but they are getting bigger. I might have to snip a few. Gelat.OG has super fat chunky buds. Lots of trichomes and another 3 to 4 weeks left. She's taking in water steadily. Not a lot, but enough. She still has a moist bottom, so I'm not worried. She honestly looks like a massive single main cola. Pretty solid buds, not leafy at all. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.6° RH: 52.6% VPD: 1.35 kPa April 28, 2023 Do-Si-Dos Cookies looks wonderful. She got a small defoliation today. I also snipped a lower popcorn bud with the defoliation. I cleaned up the lower canopy and a little of the mid canopy. She will need another watering in a day or 2. She's very thirsty. I'm going to keep a close eye on her. The wicking system is definitely overloaded. It's working but I can tell it's slow. The bottom of the container is fairly moist. I might try adding a square of wick line. That would increase area coverage and spread out the water throughout the entire bottom of the container. In theory, it should work really well. I'll try it and see how it goes. Gelat.OG is still fattening up. Looking really good. She got some CHONKY buds. Anyway, today she got a reservoir refill. I only used Tiger Bloom as I'm almost out of fish shit. Same 4 ml. I'll bump it up to 6 when she needs her next feeding... In hindsight, I should have waited until tomorrow, but I really don't like letting the reservoirs dry out. Speaking of which, they will need to be cleaned out after this watering anyway. Anyway, she looks about 3 weeks out now while Do-Si-Dos Cookies has about a month or so left. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.5° RH: 52.8% VPD: 1.34 kPa
