Aug 24: biggest of the four plants this year, and seems to be doing fine.
Don’t take flash pics of photoperiods unless you’re immediately using a 730 nm light to put them into dark mode.
Aug 26: have been watering in the morning with warmed water and that seems to help. Small kettle takes a while to boil but 2 L in a 5 gallon pail will warm up pretty cold water left out overnight.
Lazy compost tea again today. I’ve held off for a couple weeks on the tea thinking that I didn’t want to over do N, but now’s the time for a little tea tuneup.
Aug 27: all four plants look happier the day after another lazy compost tea. The yellow on the new growth has been pretty persistent on the Gelato throughout this grow, but she’s notably greener today.
Now down to 14 h daylight, and still using the 730 nm far red light every night at dusk.
Aug 28: still growing taller.
Aug 30: this plant is get quite big for her intentionally smallish 5 gallon pot which will hopefully encourage her to finish faster.
@Dutchfem_Seeds, you’re right and point taken, I’ll keep an eye on it…the daytime humidity is always very low (25%)here and I’ve been spraying the leaves a few times a day with city water which is very good but high-ish pH (8+). I keep a 20 L pail of water on the go for the whole garden, to let it degas for a day before use, but sometimes I just mist from the garden hose. Should be okay, but what do you think, should I lower the pH a bit?
@Northern_Ent, at this stage with this plant height they only need about 40ml water per day. The rest of the soil should be dry/moist for best growing condition. Your plants always look awesome so i am sure you will make these a succes too. Cheers! 👌
@Dutchfem_Seeds, thanks for the comment. I’ve made the same observation about other people’s grows too, but I don’t think I’m overwatering. I likely took the pic right after watering.
We have cool overnight temps, and my plants always look small at this stage. Nice weather now and she’ll start growing quickly.
@BudBoutique, thanks. Haven’t tried any yet as I just took it down yesterday. Couple colas hanging to dry but mostly fresh frozen. I need to get an electrician in to set up my freeze dryer and once that happens I’ll be making piatella hash. I have liked Gelatos from other breeders so I’m looking forward to this one.
Wow buddy!! super nice buds
What an amazing grow so far - good job and well done 🤝
Happy Growing & cant wait for your upcoming weeks 🌱
Cheers, Bud Boutique 👩🌾
