she is in ! really curious on how 27% will hit you :)))) oddly 1 seed from this strain just barely popped ,again 1-2 days until she is ready to be in soil,jah bless!
😇
well it's day 2 since one of them sprouted out and i just planted #2 today,happy as fuck with them!😍
Green Gelato #1 day 6 she is happy so far,only watering here and there from time to time,Green Gelato #2 has popped out for 2 days and rising towards light :D
It's officialy week 2 for nr #1 Green Gelato and #2 seems to be catching up ,second leaves developing and i love the progress they are making so far,will upload more pictures as the week goes on,nothing more to say at the moment than peace and love ppl ! 😇
DAY 13 for Green Gelatos,they are doing great,today was first feeding day with bio grow and bio heaven ,developing nice :D can't wait to be able to train them 😀
day 17 (veg day 10)for green gelatos ,they are doing just fine,no signs of any trouble until now,they seem to drink alot for being so small,excited as fuck for this grow !
---day 21(veg week 3) I feed them about 2 times a week and give them water after each feeding,they suck up alot and with higher heat the soil gets dried a bit faster,they are doing just fine,Fimmed Gelato #1 and will top Gelato #2 ,wanna see the difference in them
i ussualy start stressing around this period :D
---day 22 did some feeding today ,my ph meter is still down but i remember from the last grow that with my tap water my ph drops around 7 after adding nutes to it and i added 2 drops of ph down so hope it is around 6.5-6.8 now,they seem rly happy after feeding them today after almost the soil dried up,looking for a double or triple in size this week ,after that i can decide how long i will let them veg more but i am looking around 5 to 6 weeks of veg and no scrog this time 😅
---day 28 tied the both of them down ,removed leafs and fed nutes at 6.6 ph(700ml for each plant) overall i this week has been good besides the fact that i could not update on a constant basis was because my ph meter broke down..but i had the luck to get a free one from the same retailer because i had some sort of 6 month waranty 😇 happy growing ppl
**** A Tribe Called Red - Electric Pow Wow Drum
---day 30 for GG's and they love it ,Green gelato #2 is the winner so far ,was planted later than #1 cuz of a slower germination process but seems she is the biggest out of them all,darn cat took a bite out of a fan leaf today and i was lucky enough to be fan from a part where it just made shadow over the smaller vegetation of her(my cat is a genius ) :)))) Green gelato #1 is doing just fine,did some extreme stress training on them tied them all over the place and made enough way for the light to pass trough al the vegetation,im planing to veg 4-5 weeks,or maybe less with 1 week ,depends on how they evolve
****did not expect to get a quadruple in size with GG #2 ,sometimes hemp amazes me ,ussualy ppl aim for double or triple in size over one
week,this was unexpected and i just love it ! TY ROYAL QUEEN SEEDS for this though ass genetics
****happy growing ! i can't belive it 1 month passed so fast :O
---Day 31 they are simply amazing,i mean i am really happy with the grow so far and how they handle all the torture i put them trough,GG #2 EXPLODES ON A DAILY BASIS ,she is getting wider and wider by day
---Day 34 ,growing day by day and they endure any training i put them trough,applied some foliar spray(algamic) ,no signs of nute burn until now,no sign of lockdowns,if i take a leaf and put it in front of a light ,you can't see any holes or lockout zones on any leaf,did some mass defoliation yesterday to focus all energy on new vegetation and today she was fed only water ph-ed at 6.4 and some more LST
---Day 35 dry day for them,if you spot any mistakes,feel free to let me know :D
---day 37(veg week 5) they are simply loving it and don't have any trouble with them,they took heavy defoliation and the next day they got new set of big fan leaves,each time i did it GG #2 is the winner so far at height,width and developed canopy GG #1 is catching up slow day by day
---day 40 ,defoliated GG #2 and changed a bit the way she is tied down,will not remove anymore leafs until before i switch lights to 12-12 ,found some leafs with holes in them on GG #2 but i think it's some canibalization from all the streching but hope it's nothing more,no bugs or sorts,looked troughout the plants and didn't find any bugs or eggs underneath any leaf,it was a bit exhausting looking trough so many leafs.
---day 42 last day of week 6(veg week5) GG# 1 got topped again 2 days ago to get the juices flowing to all the vegetation she got,didn't want strech from her main stem,wanted strech from the side ones that grew,seems to work and seems she loves it ,she was fimmed from week3 at node 4th and moving on to GG #2 she is the winner of this grow at veg stage,curious how she will fare in the flower,but she is double in size compared to all my girls that are the same age as her ,she was topped from start ,did not need another fimming or topping along the way,just heavy defolation from time to time,if i don't defoliate some of the bigger fan leafs she just stalls in growing ,don't want to over feed ,i love leaf tips not being burned at all ,everything until now is a succes and i want to thank all the people hepling me out and giving me good advices ! thank you dear friend @SpinnerCaribbean wich helps me alot and even thou he is busy and all that,respect brother ! and happy growing !
---day 43(veg week6) Green Gelatos got tortured ! #1 got tied down again since she streched more this days and #2 got some big fan leafs removed and i decided why the fuck not to tie her again from the end of each branch,hope to have a nice looking bonsai bushy plant in flower ,all this stress for them is benefic and they act like they simply don't care just get bigger with each training they undergo,2 more weeks for vegetation then flushing out all the leftover veg nutes and sodium deposits and all other nasty shit stored on the bottom of the pots,planing a big defoliation before switching to 12-12 ,wish me luck with this potent strains wich i'm happy i've got 2 diferent phenos and will have different trips with them 😍,still much to go but i am almost at halfway down the road 😇
Almost forgot 😂 #1 was attacked today! CAUGHT REDHANDED!
---day 44 got full nutes and i decided to try a trick with a 5.6 ph drop,the one of them wich will love it more at around that ph range will go like that from now on,if the pheno is citric then she will love more acidic feedings ,if anyone has any doubts you can research online about this
****this is the last week they get stressed,don't want to risk having hermies around my garden
---day 46 so #2 reacted weird yesterday due to the 5.6 ph risky trick but #1 did not seem do even mind #2 had droopy leafs yesterday and now they are preety ok so will definetly use only 6.5 ph on her from now on but for #2 will go with around 5.9 just to avoid any accidents :D overall things are good ,they are happy now,they just not like being taken out of the tent so much,maybe because the floor is a bit colder than how it is inside the tent ,happy with results,study,adapt,react :)) happy growing !
---day 49 so far a big succes with them,got decent colas and lot of vegetation,they got foliar spray today and seem to love it :D
week 8 (veg week 7) this is the last veg week for them too,they will get big as fuck and out of hand if i don't start to flower :)) it's day 51 and i had to remove some big fan leafs off of #2 because it was not letting the light penetrate in the middle of the plant,i had to replant the metal rods wich are holding her tied down because she ripped them out the ground!
Got some strong branches on her,almost strong as a tree,fuck! this is a strong strain and did not any problems with them so far😍 watering only this week and will flush 2 days before switching to 12-12 to make sure humidty doesn't get out of hand in the first days of pre-flower.
---day 53 for both of them and they simply love the way they got tied down to the margins of the pot ,defoliated all that could not get light from under the canopy,everything that uses energy for nothing was removed,made way in the middle of the plants to get air and light trough and i got a almost uniform shape on them
---day 56 and they had a flushing session today ,plucked leafs off and they bounced back instantly ! check pictures :D 5 days to dry up the soil and will flip!
--day 59 (flowering day 1 ) saw the first pistil shooting out of them ,i am happy with both plants,looking healthy even after another hard defoliation today and they seem to grow faster day by day,i had to put a scrog net over half of my space to make sure they won't outgrow their room,wish me luck !
--day 61 seems to start reaching the net and sucking lots of water in thirsty as fuck both of them :D
--day 65(flowering week2)feeding day, they still in a kind of pre-flower state,almost done their thing and pistils shooting out of calyxes here and there,justa couple of days and they will have lots of pistils :D
--day 71 gelatos ,they are happy and going in flower nice,can't say anything bad about them at the moment,they underwent a big defoliation last week and recovered nicely,prompted side grow even more and hoping after some dry days that they will start popping more and more :D ,happy growing to everyone following this journey of mine ! thank you !
--day 78(flower week4) both plants are kicking the flower good ,developments can be seen day by day,they were watered yesterday and i'm leaving them time to dry up,want big fat buds on them ,had some burnt leafs due to the humidifier's vapors hitting the serated edges of the leafs but no big deal ,they don't care and are happy as fuck
--day 81 both of them are starting to develop trichomes and seem to be enjoying the life 😇 they needed some water to drink today cuz the soil was dry as fuck ,they are drinking more and more each time,they simply don't care about anything,happy plant life
--Day 85 (flower week5,day29) both of them are popping on a daily basis and hope they weren't polinated from the cookie ,it's hard to check everything in that jungle ,plus i cant risk unscroging them too ,so i will go as it is and hope for the best
--Day 86 gave them some fresh water cuz soil was dried out and they gettin fat,seems they like the extra light added,just love CFLS for not emiting high heat out of them ,good job for me 😂 ,jah bless you!
--Day 89 enjoying the nice air inside .buds getting frostier and bigger,loving how this plants are turning out 😇
--day 91 getting frostier day by day ,dry day today since they were fed nutes yesterday,will water tmr cuz they are hungry as fuck
-day 93(flower week6) all things going smooth ,both of them have different smells,exotic and pastry sweet ,today they are having a dry day since yesterday it was water day at 6.5 ph ,removed some popcorn buds ,some small branchings which didn't matter for me and all the stuff i tied during veg,don't want to choke on the stems and hoping for about 4-5 weeks before they are done 👌
-day 95 ,just another dry day for them,they were fed yesterday and tomorrw i plan on adding water 1L for each plant and let them have a good drink,getting nice autumnish colors on the gelato #2 and just loving the senesence
-day 98 got the scrog removed due to some unexpected hard criticism to clean up all my tent,but i clean it each week on sundays,anyways back to them,they got defoliated again because too many fan leafs were getting caught one by another because net was removed,they seem to love it and i gave them 5ml bloom,5ml top max,4ml bioheaven and about 1 ml activera to prompt nute absortion better,hope for better results
--day 99(flower week7 ) a crazy week has it been for both,got ouf ot the scrog net,#1 is kinda verticaly scroged and is living the good life ,having a exotic fruity spicy smell to it,#2 has a deep smell,sweet but can't describe it properly yet,different phenotypes both of them and hoping for about 3-4 weeks max before a good harvest,drinking like maniacs lately,soil is getting almost dray from one day to another,dropping the temp during nights in order to push out the colors of autumn :D wish me luck!
--day 100,getting frostier and denser each day,they will get a 1 day nutes>1 day water>1dry day from now on in the next 10 days ,then i will start adding only water for the next 2 weeks with 20-30% runoff to flush the nutes and shit out good,im suprised how much they can fatten up
-day 106(flower week8) getting closer,they are only watered with 20 % runoff in the next final days,think of letting them 10-15 more days ,depending on trichomes,#1 is fattening up even more,getting frostier daily but doesn't have some many trichomes as #2 has,the difference betwen them is astonishing,the smell is different on both of them,#1 is citric tropical ,while #2 still can't actualy figure out the smell exactly but its danky as fuck,stings you in the nose :D ,
also removed the popcorn buds on the bottom which sudently appeared or maybe i did not spot them earlier,got humidty ranging betwen 29-40 ,i will post in the harvest week,a tutorial for pest control which is cheap and good,a jar trap and will try to explain how to find the right balance in defoliating on a weekly basis to promt bud growth and trichomes production,maybe will leave tip or two for resin production too,wish you all the best buds!
-day 107 defoliated them for the last time,#1 could not remove so many of the big fan leafs since they are tucked inside the dense colas,from all the bud growth,as for #2 she had lots of leafs removed and had to tie her down once again to make way for the light on the lower buds,found some popcorn buds on one of the main colas,had to tie it down good and did my best to expose the small buds to the light,waiting for them to finish ,super excited for what i will get,wish me luck!
I don't even know where to start 😂 THIS STRAIN IS AMAZING! The taste on green gelato #2 is lime/lemonish with fruity after taste and leaves a nice fresh taste after smoking it,it's deep as fuck in my opinion,as for green gelato #1 ,it has a fruity,candy taste and leaves a nice aroma of candy ,it reminds me of some candies i used too eat when i was young,definetly got on my favorite taste list,as for the high they give you,well it's different almost with each smoke,what i noticed that is really predominant out of all the effects,is the uplited mood you get and clear thoughts ,while being euphoric in the same time,you get a long munchie effect which can have it's down sides 😅 you can lose control 😇,i jarred them in the same jar since i wanna surprise me from time to time ,because it's such a good strain and from such short plants i got a decent amount of top quality buds! THE END RESULT CAN'T BE DESCRIBED !! just lovin it! Thank you James 💪
Green Gelato #2 was harvested at 109 days at week 8 of flower,didn't expect her to finish quicker than i estimated and was surprise to how many amber i have on her so it's the ideal ratio for me,the smell is intense,sweet and fruity.Green gelato #1 will go for one more week then chop chop down she goes😍
-I am simply amazed on how well this girls perform,they underwent LST,heavy defoliation,heat stres in veg,low humidty when the thingy shorted itself out ,went under a scrog then i had to cut the scrog off because of a hermie i had so #2 yelded less than expected due to the lower buds not geting enough light penetration ,i got around 150wet weight with the main stem,went down to 137 wet weight from the buds and around 7grams of trims and the rest is what was left of the main stem,she was hungry as fuck during the whole growth,even ended up adding more than the max dosage of my nutes and she loved it.
-i will update with a more detailed harvest repo when she is dry so i can have a decent spliff or maybe will get a vape and start using that,want to quit smoking cigars so that is a must,
---------WANT TO THANK EVERYONE WHO STICKED BY MY SIDE UNTIL THE END OF THIS DIARY!
will re update some pics,cuz i took them really shaky,got a nasty ache after deadlifting :))
----------Green gelato #1 was chopped down today,got a bit more than on Green gelato #2 ,got a total of 228grams without trims and the trims had 11grams,will see what will be left after dry,i expect even a 30-35% dry from this girl since she is dense as fuck and buds are rocky hard,her smell is more fruitier than the first with slight hints of citric fruits ,stings the nose really deep,totaly different pheno than #2 ,overall it was a good run for me,im happy about the results so far !
------------After 6 days of drying i can say that they are ready to be jarred,sticky as fuck but not wet ,loving the exotic smell and citric taste i got ,#1 yelded 41 dried buds and 20 dried branchings, #2 green gelato got around 30 grams dried and again 15 grams branchings,which i will use to make something out of,have some trimmings left too ,around 10 grams,maybe will infuse something with them ,got around 20-25ish% dried😇 so as sticky as they are and the smell that comes from the buds is just insane,i love it and seems to be top quality!!!after i write this i will make a nice joint from a decent bud,not going for the tops ,wanting to see how good it gets you high with a small nug,will update later today after 1-2 joints :D ,stay tuned and thanks again for sticking around!
💪Thanks to James from RQS for offering me the pleasure to test out this strain and i still got 3 seeds left for my next grow ! APRECIATE IT MAN ! 💪💪💪
*** some tips and tricks 😇
home made pest control solution ,cheap and good ,ONLY IN VEG ! 2ml white vinegar,1ml dish wash soap,1ml nem oil or if you don't have use basil olive oil 0.5 ml this just helps make a soft film over the leafs,1L of water ,use it to wash the plant and make a coating over it ,leave out of tent until it dries up properly and do it only during mornings.
home made trap for bugs ,aphids,white flies,mosquitos,etc use a jar and put about 50 ml of white vinegar inside,use alimentary foil to make a lid and after poke some holes in it and put it under your plant in the pot if you got small jars or if you use big ones,make 2-3 if your space is bigger and put them where ever your heart wants it :D ,hope this helps out just a bit ,you will find some more tips and tricks on royal cookie at the end :D cya!
good job dude 👍 i'am going to try green gelato for outoor contest, so i landed here 😜
i like this bud color at end do you think it's due to some temps varations or Something….?
if you have any tips on this strain feel free to help me on my diary bro 🙏
Hey buddy ! I never noticed it until today : I can't see any values in EC or PPM 😅 I think that maybe your Gelato needs a higher nutrients level but without the Ec I can't be sure !
Hey✌️ on your trichomes pic it looks like you are looking at trichomes from a leaf. I am not a pro but i read alot about trichomes and as far as i know you should look at the calyx trichomes.
That GG looks gorgeous. You've got the right amount of pistils discolored and curled in. The trichs look like a blast of glitter thrown at it! Lol I can't see why you couldn't harvest soon like you mentioned. Keep doing the plain water and you'll be set. You could always start removing any of the bigger leaves left too...leaving just the sugars leaves and the buds?
Hi there friend, I noticed that you're using clear plastic cups. I had read that this creates a risk of developing green algae slime around the inside because the light can get to the moist soil (which in turn can mess up your roots). Never had the experience but had to offer this just in case. Happy growing! 👌
she needed 2 more weeks more at least. try to wait next time to get the full potential en biggest yield out of the plant .
in the last weeks she is putting on weight so be patient next time :)
