Oct 19: warm October continues and this plant will be harvested in a few days. Three days with snow starting 3 days from now so that’s it for the season.
Drilled a couple of holes in the trunk. Idea is to stress the plant to spur trichome production. Did this before and not entirely sure it helps, but why not?
Oct 20: these buds are getting stinkier and frostier just in time for the season here to end. Smell was quite noticeable this morning so I’ve bumped it up to Strong. All the buds are looking fairly frosty too so this Gelato is finishing strong. 👍👍
Oct 21: harvest day because in two days, Monday, it will be below zero all day and likely snow. Oh well, a longer than expected season allowed this gelato to finish fairly well. Trichomes are still white, and actually I rarely see amber trikes on my plants and I think that’s due the weak sunlight here in the fall. My best option here is to aim to harvest by the end of September. This plant was not billed as being fast flowering so I expected it to be a bit slow, plus it is a sativa pheno, so I feel lucky that it has finished as well as it did. The weather here was definitely good for cannabis this year with the only real hassle being wildfire smoke.
@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 👩🌾
