Ended up planting Gelato 41 during waxing gibbous moon in aquarius (sidereal) on 11.11.24. Morning of day two in the ground and she's surprise sprouted. Definitely expected this to take longer. Gelato 41 is in my makeshift "grow closet" (the bathroom closet with a grow light hanging from the bottom shelf) with Gorilla Sherbet and Banjo, which I predicted might take longer to get above the soil anyways. Might cover the walls in tinfoil after the first week to increase light exposure.
Planning on topping once the plant has 3-5 nodes to make more colas. Light currently two feet above plants. Defoliation will start once plant has multiple colas obscured by big leaves (as long as no pest issues arise).
