Gelato (GDG24 #2)

Hashy ******************************************** Growdiaries Grow 24 ******************************************** Introduction. I decided to have a small break from growing this summer due to the area I grow in is almost impossible to control the environment during heat waves. I think it was a wise decision as the lung room has been around the 30c mark throughout most of the summer. I have bought a replacement camera for my time-lapse videos as the other died. This grow will consist of 2 photoperiod strains. Fastbuds Biscotti Gelato and Art Genetix Biaco Gelato. Edit, the Biaco Gelatos didn't germinate so I replaced it with Pyramid seeds Gelato. This diary is focusing on #1 Biscotti Gelato #2 Pyramid seed Gelato. Nutrients.

(Germination day 0) 📅1/9/25 Mon 📋No sign from any of the Art Genetix seeds yet. The paradise seed looks like it may be cracking open. (Germination day 1) 📅2/9/25 Tue 📋One Art seed looks like its about to crack open. Pyramid seeds Gelatos tap root is breaking through so put that one into the soil. (Germination Day 2) 📅3/9/25 Wed 📋 💧0.15L Ec=0.3 PH=6.3 Pyramid seeds Gelato looks like movement. (Germination Day 3) 2nd seed Art Genetix tap root might be about to emerge. 📅4/9/25 Thur 📋💧0.15L Ec=0.3 PH=6.3 Looks like Gelato tap root has broken the surface. (Germination day 4) 📅5/9/25 Fri 📋 📅6/9/25 Sat 📋💧0.5L Ec=0.3 PH=6.3 This gelato has a couple of bends in the tap root and shell is still attached, but im going to call this day 0. I'm hoping she becomes a strong plant because at the moment it does look a little fragile. ******************************************** Weekly roundup. 📋 So 1 day into the grow and the 2 Art Gentix seeds hadn't germinated. Even if they do germinate its to late for them as that spot has now been taken up by this strain of Gelato by Pyramid seeds. The Gelato took 6 days to germinate The backup seed has made it, she's going to be a week behind the other strain so I may veg this grow a little longer then planned. No sign of the original Art genetix seeds germinating 14 days from starting. Take it easy. Back soon. ********************************************
