BelSun_420 As you know, I received some seeds from Kannabia to turn into bonsai. Right now, Iβm using the Ginger Punch for that purpose, and Iβll be germinating the Gelato-K for a regular grow! Iβm reusing the germinator to see if it can handle more than one round β mostly because I still had some of the germination liquid left. That said, I donβt think itβs worth using more than once considering how affordable these Kannabia germinators are.
This will be my second photoperiod grow, so fingers crossed it goes well. Thank you, Kannabia, for the opportunity to try your seeds β Iβm sure they wonβt disappoint! ππ»

Unfortunately, the germinator worked a little too well, or that Gelato-K was just full of power, haha! So, what happened? Wellβ¦ Iβll have to germinate another seed. The Gelato-K is the biggest one you can see in the photo, and unfortunately, it got tangled up in the cotton. When I tried to gently free the root, I ended up snapping it. π₯π«
Iβm going to start germinating a new one today. π

Let's kick off the first week of vegetation! π
Since the tent is currently occupied, I decided to start this grow in a smaller pot and then transplant it to the final pot. That's why the light dimming is at 100%βthe tent is running with flowering plants, but I have this little one at a considerable distance, so it shouldnβt be an issue.
Next week, the tent should be free to welcome her. For now, the plan is simple: just keep the soil moist and let her do her thing.π§‘π

BelSun_420 She's growing well and looking healthy!ππ§‘
I'm keeping the soil moist, and if all goes as planned, Iβll probably transplant her at the end of this week β just waiting for the soil I ordered to arrive.π€π»
Transplant done, but unfortunately it didnβt go well and Iβll probably have to start overβ¦ When I removed the plant from the initial pot, half the soil stuck to the bottom and only the top half came outβsplitting the main root in the process. I really doubt sheβll survive, and even if she does, thatβs a major shock. I usually germinate directly in the final pot, so Iβm not very used to transplantingβand this time, it didnβt go as planned.

BelSun_420 Hey growmies,
Last week I did the transplant, but unfortunately, it didnβt go too well. Half of the soil stuck to the pot, and when I pulled it out, the main root snapped.
Surprisingly though, the plant held on and still seems to be developing. Iβll give it another week to see how it grows and whether it keeps progressing without setbacks..π€π»π

BelSun_420 Hey Growmies,
This plant keeps surprising me day after day! A few weeks ago, I did a transplant that didnβt go well β half the root got stuck in the pot β but somehow, she didnβt even flinch and has been developing really well!
Yesterday I bent the branches slightly, and today I went in with some proper LST! Iβll post more pics in the next few days to show how she responded to the training. π±πͺπ»
BelSun_420 Hey Growmies,
This strain is really surprising me! I know LST-trained plants donβt always look the prettiest, but sheβs growing super well despite the transplant issue β no deficiencies, nice structure, good node spacing, and while doing some LST I noticed sheβs already putting out a really nice and distinctive smell, even though sheβs still in veg.
Speaking of vegβ¦ Iβll be flipping her to flower mid-week. Iβm just holding off a day or two because of the other girls in the tent.
Canβt wait to see β and smell β this lady in full bloom! ππ§‘

My little warrior, my survivor! π Itβs amazing how she bounced back from that rough transplant and has been growing like nothing ever happened. On top of that, sheβs looking beautifulβgreat structure, good spacing between nodes and branches. This girl definitely deserves high marks! πͺπ»

BelSun_420 Hey Growmies,
Another week for this little survivor ππ§‘
She's still growing strong with zero flaws or deficiencies so far! Sheβs stretched quite a bit this week as flowering kicks in, and wowβthis girl is always thirsty haha π
All feedings have been just plain water, but Iβve been giving her around 4 solid waterings per week. Itβs been extremely hot over here, which definitely explains the thirst!
Canβt wait to see how those buds develop

BelSun_420 Hey Growmies,
Sheβs stopped stretching, and now all the focus is on developing those buds π€€
Sheβs full of bud sites and still hasnβt shown any signs of deficiency. Depending on how the buds develop and as long as she stays healthy, I might consider adding some liquid nutrients for an extra boost.
For now, just pure water π§

Not much to report this week , Iβve just been watering regularly due to the high temperatures in my area.

BelSun_420 Hey Growmies,
Another week for my survivor girl ππ§‘ β the Gelato K! In the beginning, during transplant, she lost half her roots, but that didnβt stop her from becoming an absolute beauty. Sheβs now rocking a gorgeous +/- 40 cm main cola, and the buds are just starting to pack on some weight.
This week she only got plain water, keeping things simple and steady. Iβve also been keeping an eye on her structure to make sure the weight doesnβt cause any leaning as the buds fatten up.
Sheβs a fighter, and Iβm loving watching her bloom! ππ§‘

BelSun_420 Hey Growmies,
First of all, these last couple of weeks have been really busy with work, so I even skipped an updateβjust couldnβt find the time. That aside, hereβs our little survivor, packed with buds! They might not be huge, but theyβre dense and heavy enough to make the branches bend under their weight.
I want to let her run one more week at least to hit that perfect spot. The smell is absolutely fantastic tooβI canβt wait to taste her! π¨ Fits perfectly with this heatwave, a gelato would be just right ahah π π

BelSun_420 Hey Growmies,
Time to chop this survivor! βοΈ
Honestly, I never thought sheβd make it after the rough start, but she turned into such a solid plant! Trichomes are on point, and the buds are heavy and dense , branches are literally bending under the weight haha.
Canβt wait to try her, the smell is wonderfulβ¦ this one really promises!!! π§‘π₯
Hey Growmies, results are in for my survivor Gelato-K She gave me 69.3g dry β super dense buds with a sweet, intense aroma. Lots of potential here, and Iβm really looking forward to the cure to see her full flavors shine!
Thank you for making our Gelato-K the star of this grow diary π.
We hope you and her make a great team and achieve amazing results πͺπ±.
From all of us at Kannabia, weβre sending you our most intense orange vibes π§‘β¨ to make it happen.
Enjoy every stage of the journey! πΏπ
@Kirsten, Thanks mate! Let me tell you something, this trim was done completely by hand, no scissors involved π She was at the perfect drying point, so all I had to do was pull the leaves gently and voilΓ , done! π
ππ± Congrats on your harvest! Despite all the challenges, youβve managed to grow a solid Gelato-K. In growing, just like in many other things, itβs not about how you start but how you finish. And in your case, the party isnβt over yetβ¦ canβt wait to hear how the smoke turns out! π¨π₯
