Xavit Hi and welcome to my first Growdiary – and my third grow now!
The cuttings come from Flowery Fields, an Austrian provider for cuttings.
I’ll attach the strain description for you right away.
The cuttings were planted yesterday and are supposed to be about 2 weeks old.
I’m looking forward to a good exchange with you all!
Gelato 33:
Gelato #33 is one of the famous strains from the Gelato line in the USA, the 33rd plant from a selection between Sunset Sherbet and Girl Scout Cookies (Thin Mints). Our Gelato #33 is the Cookie Cut.
Amnesia:
Xavit Update:
Two weeks after topping, I made a plan today to optimally fill my 40x40 cm tent. I'm using a SCROG net with 4x4 squares. In the picture, you can see which squares I've chosen – since the flowering period falls in summer, I wanted to intentionally leave more space between the buds to avoid mold.
I've kept the four strongest shoots on each plant and removed the rest. I also took off the lower side shoots on the main stems since they wouldn't get much light – this way, the energy goes into the main buds.
Additionally, I've gently bent and massaged the shoots, as some were still quite thin due to contact with the tent wall.
Unfortunately, one shoot has a small tear at the node – that's why there are zip ties for stabilization there.
Feel free to share tips on what I can do better for the next grow!
Thanks for reading.

Xavit Today was a productive day in the tent! I removed some leaves that could later become popcorn buds and also the shoots that would have made the spacing too narrow - this could otherwise be problematic with the humidity. I also added a PET heating mat to increase the temperature a little and stabilize the climate. The plants have now completed their final switch to the 12/12 cycle - it's now time for the flowering phase! I'm looking forward to seeing how everything develops and hope that the changeover goes well.

Xavit Stretch war about 15cm, so about 1/3.
The Amnesia has grown a bit taller, but not as much as I thought (about 15cm taller than G33).
The plan with the distribution was well thought out, but side branches have grown partially just below the main buds.
The amount of watering has increased a bit, but that's more due to the slightly warmer environment.
I will do some defoliation around day 21 of flowering, and then that will be it for the work.
I have a small dehumidifier right by the intake, which raises the temperature from 22.5 to about 24-24.5 degrees. It doesn't really dehumidify the air noticeably, but it still reduces mold formation.
Currently, I have the PPFD value at 520-620.

Xavit Currently, the humidity is quite high – around 60%, typical German weather.
Regarding the nutrient schedule:
I'm currently giving 500 ml daily per plant, with
– 2 ml Bloom,
– 1.4 ml Bio-Heaven, and
– 1.4 ml Top-Max.
The smell is already really good when you touch a sugar leaf.
Amnesia smells really lemony and sweet-fruity, totally intense and pleasant.
Gelato 33 is a bit more subtle, but also fruity with a bitter note – not as prominent as the Amnesia, but still very tasty.

Xavit Small update.
When opening the tent, there's just a super delicious smell to be noticed.
The Gelato is getting a slight purple tint and the Amnesia is developing many long hairs. Unfortunately, the Amnesia has slight burns, which is why I'm reducing Bio-Bloom a bit. And just now, while I'm writing this, I've noticed that the Gelato is also showing slight burns.
Therefore, I will water both with just Heaven once and then lower the Bloom from 2 ml to 1.5 ml while continuing with 500 ml per day.

Xavit Unfortunately had a bit of bud rot. But it was just a small spot.
I removed a large part of the bud.
Gelato will be harvested in 2 days and the Amnesia still has about 10 days left.
Gelato got a 4-day flush on flower day 50.
It went pretty fast, but they are only 4L or 5L pots.
Amnesia I estimate around 60 days.
Der komplette Grow lief eigentlich ziemlich problemlos. Die Pflanze ist schön buschig gewachsen.
120g Nassgewicht bei 1 Pflanze im 40x40cm Zelt mit 2 Pflanzen a 4l Töpfen.
Was viele sicher interessiert: Der Steckling stammt von Flowery Fields, und laut deren Angaben handelt es sich um den original Cookies Cut. Und ganz ehrlich – es sieht ganz danach aus. Auf den Bildern im Netz sieht sie genauso aus, und auch die Qualität ist spürbar besser als bei unselektierten Samen.
Der Geruch ist auf jeden Fall intensiver als alles, was ich bisher angebaut habe. Klar, ein Teil davon liegt sicher auch an meiner wachsenden Erfahrung – ist ja erst mein dritter Grow –, aber dennoch ein deutliches Upgrade.
Die Ernte ist jetzt in zwei große Dryfermbags aufgeteilt, jeweils etwa 60 g:
– Einmal die dickeren, guten Buds
– Und einmal die kleineren
Geerntet wurde bei ca. 90 % milchigen und 10 % bernsteinfarbenen Trichomen.
Jetzt lagert alles im thermoelektrischen Weinkühlschrank bei 15–16 °C und 65–70 % RLF.
Nach dem ersten Tag fühlen sich die Buds noch an wie frisch geerntet. Ich werde sie täglich kontrollieren, kurz lüften und die Entwicklung hier im Diary weiter dokumentieren.
Danke an alle, die einen Like dagelassen haben!
ERGÄNZUNG:
Ich habe in Amsterdam im Coffeeshop Sunset Sherbert probieren können und man erkennt den Geschmack auch deutlich im Gelato 33 Strain von Flowery Fields wieder. Wer Sunset Sherbert mag, wird dieses Cultivar sicher auch feiern. Es ist insgesamt etwas milder im Geschmack, was aber auch an meinem etwas einfacheren Setup liegen kann.
Mir hilft es super als Ausgleich Gedankenkarussell beenden und einfach alles auf sich zukommen lassen, selbst wenn am nächsten Tag ein Termin ansteht, auf den man gar keine Lust hat. Die Aufregung verschwindet komplett. Kann es aber auch tagsüber empfehlen.
Der Grow lief insgesamt recht problemlos.
Am Ende hat der oberste Haupttrieb allerdings etwas zu viel Licht abbekommen und ich musste ihn entfernen.
Ich habe beide Pflanzen vermutlich etwas zu früh geerntet. Die Amnesia hätte wahrscheinlich noch zwei Wochen gebraucht, aber ich hatte in diesem feuchten Sommer ehrlich gesagt keine Lust mehr, mir so lange den Kopf zu zerbrechen, wie ich die RLF unten halte.
Daten zum Endprodukt
100 g Nassgewicht
Wet Trim in Dryferm Bags im Weinkühlschrank.
Temperatur: 15 °C, RLF: 60–67 % (abfallend zum Ende)
Kleine Buds waren nach 7 Tagen trocken, die großen nach 11 Tagen.
Ging insgesamt schneller als bei der Gelato, einfach weil es eine Sativa-Sorte ist und die Buds fluffiger sind.
Curing
Beide Sorten ca. 1 Woche täglich gelüftet, danach alle 1–2 Tage.
Ab jetzt öffne ich die Gläser nur noch etwa einmal pro Woche.
Geschmack
Die Amnesia ist geschmacklich ganz lecker, auch wenn sie nicht ganz mein Fall ist. Zitronig, aber nicht frisch-zitronig, eher so ein kräftiger „pflanzlicher“ Geschmack.
Wenn sich da noch was in den nächsten Wochen ändert, werde ich es hier ergänzen.
Wirkung
Für mich perfekt tagsüber, ich kann mich super in Themen vertiefen und verliere dabei total das Zeitgefühl, genau das, was ich brauche.
Abends hingegen würde ich sie nicht empfehlen. Sie steigert mein Interesse an allem Möglichen (was grundsätzlich positiv ist), aber es fällt mir dadurch schwer, zur Ruhe zu kommen.
I just noticed that my text was too long and some of it got deleted. I'll quickly add it again.
Amnesia:
This legendary clone-only strain has been our best-seller for years. The genetic background is a Super Silver Haze, selected by user Core from the ICMAG forum, who named it Amnesia due to its unique effects. The Dutch coffeeshops produced their Amnesia from this cut. We were the first company to bring this clone to the market 15 years ago.
interessting Pheno ! Keep up the Great work your Ladys loving it :D looking Foward for your Diarie in the Next Weeks .Maybe take a look at my Newest Week of "Sweet Seeds Forest " ? I would Really apreciate that:D
@mindblow, Hey, sorry for the late reply. I just saw your message. For me, it’s both lemony and sweet. The scent is more lemony, while the taste is more sweet and slightly lemon. I also tried to describe it in the new update, but it's a bit hard for me because I haven’t had the chance to test many different strains/phenos yet. I harvested too early because of the wet summer weather in Germany. It was only in flower for 53 days. It definitely would have needed another 2 weeks.😊
