Micro Grow - First time grower - Gelato

freshcoconut I've been struggling with my arranged light system here. I'll probably invest in better lighting for the next grow. The main concerns here are the light position and/or strength. But well, let's see how far can I go with this! I'm totally against the odds since the beginning =) They were watered on thursday, 22/08/2024 with 50ml of water each.

freshcoconut Two weeks in I'm putting my faith into the thought that they can be strong and vivacious, even though they've had a not so good start. Tried to fix the light setup and one light ended up smashing #1, so now both are fragile and with long stems. They've just started putting their strenghts into building up some leafs, hence the first true leaves.

freshcoconut Guess they were in need of some substrate! So I attended their requests. All thanks to some tips I acquired on Reddit. They're looking so healthy to start week 3! -01/09/2024 They went full in this first week of veg, happy to see that! Now they're ready for some training, and they've been adapting really well so far! Week 4, let's go! -08/09/2024

freshcoconut So that's it! On the beggining of week 4 I've gathered courage to top em', and they've been stunned all week, coming back to growth on the 29th day. And I realized they started drinking a lot more after the topping. I'm still trying to get the hang of the LST, and unfortunately I damaged some leaves on the process, hope I'm doing allright. And don't worry! I watered them right after taking the photos of day 29 =)

freshcoconut I needed to do some defoliation on #2, her leaves were covering a lot of the new growth. I noticed she was stunted during this week. Meanwhile, #1 grew with all her strength. They're drinking 200ml per day now, I'm considering increasing this rate to keep a low maintenance. I bought a new LED Pannel, it's arriving next week, and I think the girls are going to love it! Anxious to see the results of it. Those small lamps have taken me so far, but it's time for improvement!

freshcoconut I can tell how happy they are receiving this new light. I'm probably going to veg for one more week or so before flipping, because i'm running out of space. They've been drinking 300ml every other day.

freshcoconut Good growth although #1 got some purple stems. As of today (05/10/24) I'm flipping them. Hope it'll be a good flowering =)

freshcoconut They have been flipped, and have been developing really well so far! The rain started here in Brazil thus the out of the charts RH. I'm kinda worried tbh, that's why I defoliated em' a little more. I can already see some pistils and smell them when I go through the door. Really looking forward to see the buds that are growing ever more, every day =)

freshcoconut It's been wonderful so far! Seeing these girls run strong into flower is delightful. And when I look to the microgrow i've built, I can't be anything other than proud. I've doubted of the process since the beginning, but here I am!

freshcoconut Theyre starting to fatten up, and theyve been producing so much sugar. Simply beautiful to see that. Cant wait to see these pistils changing its collors.

freshcoconut Beautiful buds they are developing! I can see they're getting dense. And the smell, OMG, so wonderful. I'm glad I've picked this strain.

freshcoconut They are looking incredible!! And still growing up. The thricomes are still transparent, I'll wait till they get a little amber before chopping her down =) It's been a long happy road.
