Amazing, couldnt believe how much crap they tolerated from this first time grower, going well beyond anything I'd expected, I've had fungus gnats and thrips on other plants in my house during this grow and they didnt touch the Gelato at all, superb strain 10/10
Good and bad news, good is I got a new job, bad is it's across the other side of the country, had to harvest early, no choice at all, took the plants down and will dry at 60/60 for a week then into Grove bags for the move, utterly devastated I couldnt get them to the end properly, still they seem ok, really sticky all over, RQS deserve a medal for this strain (they may even have one :), thanks again for all your support folks and happy growing π
10/11/23 - Thats them dried down to 12%, 400g into Mason Jars and rest into grove bags, after trimming leaves the current weight before curing from 3 plants is .....979g, well happy
So, my plants on the data sheet are meant to be 120cm tall .....they're over 170 now (see pics), I can likely get another 15-20cm by moving my intake and raising the lights but otherwise what's a good way to handle the height as I can't see them stopping anytime soon, cheers :)
snap a stem without severing it... support it so it doesn't dangle and damage itself worse. within a day or 2 it'll have a knuckle and you'll be holding back vertical growth instead maintaining it horizontally while it heals. It will try to bend upward around that break again.. hold it down, let the tip go vertical if timing is good and won't run out of space again. rather not break it twice if you can avoid it.
this is called HST - can google for examples. it's simpler than it sounds. i just grab and push forward with my thumb until the stem doubles over -- only enough force for that to occur then stop. support it so it is horizontal and heals easily. it heals fast. shortly after it'll try to arch upward. hold it down at a point you feel safe the upward growth won't run out of room a 2nd time.
Having problems with brown patches, (see last 3 pics week 10), a quick google and I went with adding more CalMag but it's got worse the further into flowering I go, the farthest behind plant has least, furthest ahead is worst, any ideas?, many thanks in advance :)
@Green_Man_420, Cheers, sure it'll be good to tide me over till the next harvest, this strain really has been a joy to grow, just make sure you got some space! πππ
@Glenmo, thank you. That is a few years of recording grows. I appreciate you stopping in. If you need and help with the coco grows feel free to ask. π±
