Outdoor Grow - Gelato #45 (AI Challenge)

In this grow I'll challenge a GPT that's a specialized horticulturist. Each of us gets a clone of the same strain and we foster them with our own care plans. I will provide daily image updates to the model so it can improve on it's plan on the way. I will add water and nutrients, top/prune as the model says. At the end we will compare the yield - which will decide who wins the challenge. We will do the same with two Blueberry clones. I also happen to have a slightly older Tropicanna Banana which we will foster together. This should do for a good first study. ----------------------------- These are the overview information about Gelato#1 for the first week: 4. Gelato #1 Condition: Smaller, indicating a need for more focused care. Advice: - Watering: Ensure consistent moisture and avoid letting the soil dry out completely. - Nutrients: Start with a balanced nutrient mix, monitoring for any signs of stress. Gradually increase nutrient concentration as it grows. - Support: Use stakes or a small cage to support the plant as it grows taller. - Training: Use LST to encourage even growth and better light distribution. ----------------------------- Here are the first instructions for Gelato#1 the AI wants me to follow: Gelato #1 Current Condition Smaller, indicating a need for more focused care. Detailed Care Plan Weeks 1-4 (Vegetative Stage): LST: Start: Begin LST around the 3rd week. Gently bend the main stem. Tying Down: Spread out side branches as they grow. Pruning: Lower Branches: Remove any shaded lower branches. Topping: Top after 4-6 sets of leaves to promote bushier growth. Nutrients: Mix: Use NPK 5-2-5 at 2 ml per liter of water. Frequency: Every 3 days. Weeks 5-6 (Transition Stage): LST: Maintain an even canopy by tying down new growth. Pruning: Remove large leaves that block light to lower buds. Nutrients: Mix: Combine NPK 5-2-5 and NPK 2-5-8 in a 1:1 ratio. Dosage: 2 ml per liter of water. Frequency: Every 3 days. Weeks 7-12+ (Flowering Stage): LST: Adjust ties to ensure all buds receive light. Pruning: Defoliate larger leaves that shade buds. Nutrients: Mix: Use NPK 2-5-8 at 2 ml per liter of water. Frequency: Every 3 days. ----------------------------- And these are the specific instructions for the first week: Day | Task | Details ----------------------------- 1 | Watering | Water with NPK 5-2-5 nutrient mix (2 ml/L). Ensure soil is moist but not waterlogged. 2 | Monitoring | Check soil moisture. Adjust watering if necessary. 3 | LST Preparation | Identify the main stem and gently start bending it. Secure with soft string or pipe cleaner. 4 | Watering | Water with plain water if soil is dry. 5 | Pruning | Remove any lower leaves that are touching the soil. 6 | Monitoring | Check for signs of stress or pests. Adjust LST ties if needed. 7 | Watering | Water with NPK 5-2-5 nutrient mix (2 ml/L). -----------------------------
