Biscotti Gelato

Schnabeldino 📅 Week 1 | 🗓️ Day 1 – 7 Day 4 🔸 Not much to write about for the first few days, but that doesn't mean the first few days aren't important, hehe... She's off to a great start and is doing really well. 📈 Current Conditions 🌡️🔆 = 27°C 🌡️🌜 = 20°C 💨 Humidity = 63% 🔦 PPFD = 200-300 µmol (18/6) 🛠️ Setup (unchanged) 💡 Viparspectra XS1500 Pro 💡 Spider-Farmer 100 Watt ⛺ 120 x120 x 180 🍯 Pots: 1 liter plastic pots 🌱 Soil: Bio-Bizz light mix 💊 Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients 💧 Water: Tap Water 0,5 EC

Schnabeldino 📅 Week 2 – Day 8 to Day 14 Day 11 🔸Biscotti is growing steadily and shows strong side branching with lush foliage.. The leaves are a vibrant green, and the growth is compact and healthy. She received her first small dose of fertilizer this week to support development. The roots have already reached the edge of the 1-liter pot and appear strong, white, and healthy, indicating that a transplant to a larger pot will soon be beneficial to avoid growth restrictions. 📈 Current Conditions: 🌡️ Day: 27 °C 🌡️ Night: 20 °C 💨 Humidity: 60% 🔦 PPFD: 200–300 µmol (18/6 light cycle) 🛠️ Setup: 💡 Lighting: Viparspectra XS1500 Pro & Spider-Farmer 100 W ⛺ Tent: 120 × 120 × 180 cm 🍯 Pots: 1 L plastic pots 🌱 Medium: Bio-Bizz Light Mix 💊 Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients 💧 Water: Tap water (0.5 EC)

Schnabeldino 📅 Week 3 – Day 15 - 21 "New Pot, Fresh Cut & Gym Time" What a week! My little one went through quite a lot. We kicked things off on Monday with a special hairdressing session – Topping Deluxe. Snip-snip at the top – now she’s rocking two heads instead of one! She gave me the “really?” look at first, but I promised her this would make her bushier and stronger. Motivation is key, right? Midweek, it was time for her fitness routine: some gentle LST training with clips. At first, she seemed confused like, “Hey, what are you doing with my arms?” – but now she’s proudly stretching in all directions. Yoga – Grow Edition. By the end of the week, we had the big move: from a tiny one-room apartment to a luxurious 18-liter penthouse. And let me tell you, it was about time – her roots were practically packing their bags to leave the old pot. When I pulled her out, I swear I was holding a spaghetti wreath in my hand. Oh, and two big fan leaves had to go. Normally, I don’t do that, but honestly, they were blocking everything like oversized furniture in a tiny kitchen. Now she’s standing there: happy, in her new home, with more space, a fresh haircut, and a new workout plan – ready to take off again. Can’t wait to see how she explodes next week! 📈 Current Conditions: 🌡️ Day: 26 °C 🌡️ Night: 20 °C 💨 Humidity: 60% 🔦 PPFD: 400–500 µmol (18/6 light cycle) 🛠️ Setup: 💡 Lighting: Viparspectra XS1500 Pro & Spider-Farmer 100 W ⛺ Tent: 120 × 120 × 180 cm 🍯 Pots: 18 L plastic pots 🌱 Medium: Bio-Bizz Light Mix 💊 Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients 💧 Water: Tap water (0.5 EC)

Schnabeldino 📅 Week 5 | 🗓️ Days 29–35 – Low, wide, and locked-in 🔸 Growth & structure: Biscotti Gelato is loving life this week. She’s sitting low and proud with a tidy, pancake-flat canopy—tops marching in perfect formation. The main stem is chunky with neat training “knuckles,” and the undercarriage is clean so light and air glide right through. Leaves are a deep, happy green and holding that cute “hands-up” pray—no burns, no drama. 🔸 Training: Kept the LST/manifold rhythm going. Tie-downs are doing their job and everything stays level. I plucked a few interior fans—just enough to let the center breathe and give those fresh tips some runway 🔸 Looking to Week 6: Keep the table-top shape. Only snip leaves that clearly throw shade, and give the ties a gentle retighten so all leaders stay shoulder-to-shoulder. Once the footprint is nicely packed, we’re ready to flip—time to trade squats for stretch. 🌸 📈 Current Conditions: 🌡️ Day: 26 °C 🌡️ Night: 19 °C 💨 Humidity: 60% 🔦 PPFD: 400–500 µmol (18/6 light cycle) 🛠️ Setup: 💡 Spider-Farmer 100 W ⛺ Tent: 120 × 120 × 180 cm 🍯 Pots: 18 L plastic pots 🌱 Medium: Bio-Bizz Light Mix 💊 Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients 💧 Water: Tap water (0.5 EC)

Schnabeldino 📅 Week 6 | 🗓️ Days 36–42 – Table-top tidy, glow-in-green 🔸 She kept it compact and confident this week—lots of even tops, internodes nice and tidy. The canopy looks like a well-pressed tablecloth. Focused on an even wash of light across the whole canopy. Small height tweaks and a gentle quarter-turn now and then so no top hogs the hotspot. Leaf tone is a rich emerald with perky posture—no burns, no blotches, no drama. New growth is fresh and vigorous; she looks wonderfully healthy. 🔸 I snipped a few weaker shoots and interior suckers—nothing drastic, just a little grooming so the good stuff gets the spotlight. Tie-downs still holding a level line; I nudged them as needed to keep everyone at the same height. 🔸Advanced fertilizer, I definitely stick to half of the specified schedule. 🔸 Looking to Week 7: Maintain the flat, full surface and only remove leaves that clearly cast shade. Keep ties snug and light uniform. If the footprint is ~80–90% filled, we’re nearly ready for the big flip—stretch season awaits. 🌸 📈 Current Conditions: 🌡️ Day: 24 °C 🌡️ Night: 19 °C 💨 Humidity: 60% 🔦 PPFD: 400–500 µmol (18/6 light cycle) 🛠️ Setup: 💡 Spider-Farmer 100 W ⛺ Tent: 120 × 120 × 180 cm 🍯 Pots: 18 L plastic pots 🌱 Medium: Bio-Bizz Light Mix 💊 Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients (half of the specified schedule) 💧 Water: Tap water (0.5 EC)

Schnabeldino 📅 Week 7 | 🗓️ Days 43–49 – Biscotti Gelator 🍪🍨 🔸 Growth & structure: Biscotti Gelato kept the table-top shape and stretched just enough to show off her training “knuckles.” The canopy is still even, with lots of eager tops. Foliage is a deep, glossy green—perky posture, no burns, no blotches. Color is rich emerald, new growth lush and symmetrical. Stems are thickening nicely (those manifold knuckles look like little biceps 💪) 🔸 Training & cleanup: Minor grooming only. I tucked a few fans and removed one or two inside leaves that were clearly shading sites. Lower fluff was tidied so energy goes to the main colas. Structure remains open—air and light glide through. I removed all the branches within the plant, as they weren't getting any light anyway. 🔸 Light & environment: Kept an even spread across the canopy; adjusted height to land around 500-600 PPFD at the tops. Moisture stayed steady—no hard dry-backs. 📈 Current Conditions: 🌡️ Day: 24 °C 🌡️ Night: 17 °C 💨 Humidity: 60% 🔦 PPFD: 500 µmol (18/6 light cycle) 🛠️ Setup: 💡 Spider-Farmer 100 W ⛺ Tent: 120 × 120 × 180 cm 🍯 Pots: 18 L plastic pots 🌱 Medium: Bio-Bizz Light Mix 💊 Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients (half of the specified schedule) 💧 Water: Tap water (0.5 EC)

Schnabeldino 📅 Week 8 | 🗓️ Days 50–56 – Biscotti Gelato 🍪🍨 - gentle stretch, everything in balance 🔸The first week on 12/12 and the Biscotti Gelato is doing great. The stretch is smooth, the crown remains nice and flat, and the internodes are compact. A broad, uniform tabletop; the lower fan leaves fan out elegantly, the structure remains open. The leaf color is a rich emerald green, the leaves stand slightly “praying”. The first pistils are appearing at the nodes, the flower buds are getting going. Strong, woody “knuckles”; green ties fix the arms neatly to the edge – the manifold is working as planned. 🔸I keep them under a 200-watt no-name lamp, with which I have often achieved very good results. I check the distance daily and turn the pot slightly so that the lighting remains even and no top ends up in the hotspot. I have tightened the ties so that all the main shoots remain at the same height. I have tidied up a little at the bottom so that air and light can get through the middle. Continue to water evenly – no hard drybacks. 🔸In week 9, I expect small, round flower “buttons.” I keep the light even, check the ties daily, and plan for light defoliation around flowering day ~21 only where fan leaves obviously shade bud sites. Overall: a very healthy, even start to flowering – just as I wanted. 🌸 📈 Current Conditions: 🌡️ Day: 25 °C 🌡️ Night: 18 °C 💨 Humidity: 58% 🔦 PPFD: 600-700 µmol (12/12 light cycle) 🛠️ Setup: 💡 Cosmos 200 Watt ⛺ Tent: 120 × 120 × 180 cm 🍯 Pots: 18 L plastic pots 🌱 Medium: Bio-Bizz Light Mix 💊 Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients (half of the specified schedule) 💧 Water: Tap water (0.5 EC)

Schnabeldino 📅 Week 9 | 🗓️ Day 57 - 63 First week of flowering (after 12/12) Biscotti Gelato 🍪🍨 - buds everywhere 🔸This week, the knot burst: the first pistils and small buds are appearing everywhere. Stretching is moderate, the crown remains nice and flat – exactly as I wanted it. The foliage is deep green and plump, with no spots or tip burn. I'm leaving the 200 W lamp on and turning the pot a little every day so that all the tops get even light. Ties only slightly tightened so that the main shoots remain at the same height. Removed a few mini side shoots at the bottom so that air and light can circulate freely. Even, upright growth with compact internodes; the stretch is visible but well controlled. 🔸Watering evenly, no hard drybacks; only “wet–evenly moist” play. Water when soil moisture is below 30%, with light drainage. I now add Big Buds from AN. 🔸I'm letting the stretch run its course, keeping the light evenly over the crown, and planning some light defoliation around day ~21 of flowering (only leaves that clearly shade the bud sites). From then on, the buttons can stack up. Overall: a very smooth start to flowering – right on track. 🌸 📈 Current Conditions: 🌡️ Day: 25 °C 🌡️ Night: 18 °C 💨 Humidity: 60% 🔦 PPFD: 800-900 µmol (12/12 light cycle) 🛠️ Setup: 💡 Cosmos 200 Watt ⛺ Tent: 120 × 120 × 180 cm 🍯 Pots: 18 L plastic pots 🌱 Medium: Bio-Bizz Light Mix 💊 Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients (half of the specified schedule) 💧 Water: Tap water (0.5 EC)

Schnabeldino 📅 Week 10 | 🗓️ Day 64–70 — 2nd week of flowering (after 12/12) Biscotti Gelato 🍪🍨 – stacking nicely 🔸 Stretch is basically done and the structure holds its tabletop shape, she is now 75–90 cm tall.. Budlets have turned into neat little tufts of white pistils along every top; calyxes are starting to stack in tiers. Foliage stays deep, healthy green with those characteristic slightly “praying” fans. Some petioles show a subtle plum tint—purely cosmetic and common in this phase. The manifold is carrying the load beautifully; spacing between nodes is tight, so the future cola shape looks promising. As a precaution, I hung up predatory mites and lacewing larvae... I have a few plants in my apartment that are infested with thrips, so I hung a few in the tent as a precaution. 🔸 Watering: Even rhythm, no hard dry-backs—just “wet → evenly moist.” I water when the pot mass and soil moisture tell me it’s time (≈30% moisture), aiming for a little run-off each time. 🔸 Looking ahead: Over the next 7–10 days I expect clear button stacking and the first real frost to spread. I’ll keep the light uniform, maintain airflow through the mid-canopy, and gradually consider easing RH down a touch as flowers gain density. 📈 Current Conditions 🌡️ Day: 26 °C 🌡️ Night: 19 °C 💨 Humidity: 58 % 🔦 PPFD: 800–900 µmol (12/12 light cycle) 🛠️ Setup 💡 Cosmos 200 W ⛺ Tent: 120 × 120 × 180 cm 🍯 Pots: 18 L plastic pots 🌱 Medium: Bio-Bizz Light Mix 💊 Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients (≈ ½ of the schedule) + Big Bud 💧 Water: Tap water (0.5 EC)

Schnabeldino 📅 Week 11 | 🗓️ Day 71–77 — 3rd week of flowering Biscotti Gelato 🍪🍨 – elegant, fragrant, stacking and frosting up beautifully 🔸 The stretch has clearly settled — she’s holding a sturdy, balanced canopy with strong verticals and consistent cola height. Buds are now clearly formed clusters, each topped with thick tufts of bright white pistils. Calyxes are beginning to swell and stack neatly, and there’s a noticeable layer of early trichome sparkle spreading over the sugar leaves. 🔸 The foliage remains deep, lush green, with broad, slightly glossy leaves showing no signs of stress. The overall posture is confident and vigorous — she’s thriving in her rhythm. Those slightly purple petioles add a nice touch of personality under the lights. 🔸 Watering & care: Keeping the same steady routine — moist but not soaked, around 30% soil moisture before watering. Airflow through the canopy looks solid, and humidity is still in a safe zone for mid-flower. I'm still at half the amount specified for fertilizer. 📈 Current Conditions 🌡️ Day: 27 °C 🌡️ Night: 18 °C 💨 Humidity: 59 % 🔦 PPFD: 800–900 µmol (12/12 light cycle) 🛠️ Setup 💡 Cosmos 200 W ⛺ Tent: 120 × 120 × 180 cm 🍯 Pots: 18 L plastic pots 🌱 Medium: Bio-Bizz Light Mix 💊 Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients ≈ ½ of the schedule) 💧 Water: Tap water (0.5 EC)

Schnabeldino 📅 Week 12 (Flower Week 4–5) Biscotti Gelato🍪🍨 - a smell of lemon sorbet 🔸 Our Biscotti Gelato is looking absolutely stunning this week. The structure is strong and balanced, with multiple sturdy mains reaching up confidently – a real showpiece of healthy growth. The leaves are deep green and vibrant, only a few older ones fading slightly, which is totally natural at this stage. The humidity is a little high, but that will change when she moves into the big tent next week and the others are harvested, so everything is still okay. I have good air circulation. When it's in the big tent, I'll open it up a bit and pull it wide so that more light can get inside. 🔸The buds are starting to fill out beautifully, stacking tighter each day and already glistening with a frosty layer of trichomes. The pistils are fresh and bright, standing tall – a clear sign she’s in her stride mid-bloom. The bud structure looks compact and promising. 🔸She’s running on half-strength Advanced Nutrients this week, and it’s hitting the sweet spot perfectly. No signs of stress – just smooth, happy growth all around. 🔸Biscotti Gelato is thriving and full of personality – healthy, confident, and sparkling under the lights. If she keeps up this pace, we’re headed for a beautiful harvest packed with frosty, aromatic buds. ✨🌿 📈 Current Conditions 🌡️ Day: 26 °C 🌡️ Night: 17 °C 💨 Humidity: 60 % 🔦 PPFD: 800–900 µmol (12/12 light cycle) 🛠️ Setup 💡 Cosmos 200 W ⛺ Tent: 120 × 120 × 180 cm 🍯 Pots: 18 L plastic pots 🌱 Medium: Bio-Bizz Light Mix 💊 Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients ≈ ½ of the schedule) 💧 Water: Tap water (0.5 EC)

Schnabeldino 📅 Week 13 (Flower Week 5) Biscotti Gelato 🍪🍨 🔸She’s grown into a wide, bushy queen with strong branching and a whole skyline of chunky top colas. The leaves range from deep green to those classy purple hues The buds are stacking nicely: dense, chunky, and already looking like they belong in a dispensary photoshoot. What really pops is the frost factor, she’s coated in sparkly trichomes from top to bottom, mostly clear to milky. The orange-brown hairs are starting to curl in. 🔸She’s in great shape. No pests, no drama, no nutrient issues. The upper foliage is lush and vibrant. A few yellowing leaves at the bottom, but that’s just her saying, “I’m focusing on the buds now, babe.” 🔸 Biscotti Gelato is deep in her glow-up phase...frosty, colorful, and building serious flower mass. A couple more weeks and she’ll be ready to knock everyone’s socks off. so we hope 😇😂 📈 Current Conditions 🌡️ Day: 25 °C 🌡️ Night: 18 °C 💨 Humidity: 50 % 🌬️ VPD = 1.5 – 1.6 kPa 🔦 PPFD: 900 µmol (12/12 light cycle) 🛠️ Setup 💡 2 x SANlight Evo 4-120 @90% ⛺ 120 x 120 x 180 Spiderfarmer tent 🍯 Pots: 18 L plastic pots 🌱 Medium: Bio-Bizz Light Mix 💊 Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients ≈ ½ of the schedule) 💧 Water: Tap water (0.5 EC)
