July 20: still growing fast and looking more sativa dominant than the other three plants. She’s fully recovered from the slow start due to the missing apical growth tip near the start. I’m excited for this gelato as that is definitely a fave flavour. That and this plant should have pretty spectacular purple buds.
July 23: show is currently the fastest growing of the four plants. Now tied at 31” with Gorilla Cookies.
July 24: watered with another batch of lazy compost tea. After that, applied top dressing of barley and Power Bloom, and also added small amounts of Azomite for trace metals and oyster shell flour for calcium and I happened to have some handy. Mostly barley and Power Bloom as the key flowering nutrients.
July 26: looking good but a bit yellow on new growth which I think is sulphur deficiency. Foliar sprayed with some Epsom salts and potassium silicate.
@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 👩🌾
