Advanced Seed (gelato#33, Zkittlez, FFC)

DonEspas Topping at the end of the week

DonEspas Slight defoliation on one plant to encourage the growth of the intermediates. One plant seems to be struggling, but I think it's the result of the accumulation of stresses I've put it through (topping + repotting + slight defoliation). All the plants have small internodes (0.5 cm to 1 cm max). We're good ⚡🌴. The companion plants seem to be developing well too. Especially the nettles, acidic pH + well-nitrogenated substrate!

DonEspas Look, you can see nettles growing at the base of the plants. This indicates a substrate with a slightly acidic pH and especially rich in nitrogen (the nettles will consume the excess nitrogen and help balance the pH of the substrate 😛). Growing conditions aren't everything. Each strain and also each cannabis phenotype has different needs to express their potential. Genetics matter a lot, so setting concrete criteria and sticking to them when selecting the parents of the seed by the Breeder is treeeeeeees treeeeees important. It seems more sensible for someone who wants quality to work with a strain or see clones of a strain and learn to understand their needs to optimize the expression of certain genes that interest them. For example, here: You can observe that under the same climatic conditions and light exposure, plants of different strains will react differently to environmental conditions and will differ in terms of structure (branch thickness, height in cm, spacing between levels, leaf coloration). From my experience, the taste quality of the finished product depends approximately on: 70% genetics 🏆 15% cultivation 🥈 15% drying and curing 🥈 I'm talking about taste quality, not aesthetics or quantity. The balance of percentages would be different. Happy Sunday to all the growers 💚🌴 Forecast of actions for next week: - Tuesday preparation and start of the TCO - Wednesday watering with TCO - Friday very light watering with water - Sunday moving to the flowering box + watering with water + weekly review on growdiaries 🤙

DonEspas Nous sommes maintenant à la 4 ème semaine et pour nous proche du passage box de floraison 🌺 Arrosage TCO cette semaine Topping de la plupart des apex de chaque branche Soin des coupures avec la cannelle Installation du filet de LST Les orties les plus vigoureux ont été tordu pour ralentir leur croissance et faciliter l'installation u plant de canna

DonEspas Woow the smell is surprising! We are in growth and it stinks of Cali in the house 😅🤷‍♂️🌴🌈🍹 I don't think it's a bad sign

DonEspas 1) Rempotage hyper-agressif avec arrachage de 50% des racines (elle va se remettre ) 2) Branche cassée pendant une défoliation manuelle (elle va se remettre aussi) 3) Rempotage agressif aussi (pareil pas d'inquiétude elle va s'en remettre) 4) Topping topping topping (phénotype avec de grand inter-noeuds, a voir ce que ça fera en floraison)

DonEspas After all these traumas, the plants will spend 2 weeks recovering. Plan: - TCO watering - Controlled addition of Co2 - Stable climate conditions (27°/68% humidity)

DonEspas It's good, it's going as planned 🔨⚡🛴

DonEspas Good recovery for all the plants I mistreated Another week of recovery for my last tired plant and then Blooming 🌈😎🤳 A magnificent TCO to revive the beneficial bacteria. The roots are going to be happy 🌈💅 Forbidden fruit: 2 phenotypes that are influenced by the genetics of the parent "Tangie" but without the orange. We find the skunk#1 expression. For forbidden fruit, it's meh, a waste of time and money (3/10) Zkittlez: 6/10 Gelato #33: 5/10

DonEspas Start 🌈Flowering🌈 for these ones. Germination tea this week 🏴‍☠️💪😎

DonEspas Pre-floraison 1 TCO 2 plants étaient hermaphrodite Ils ont été tués Des clochettes étaient mature, j'espère qu'il n'y a pas de contamination générale 🤯! C'est la deuxième fois avec des graines de chez Advanced seed ... 🤔🤬 Pour mon premier run je pensais que c'était ma faute mais ça vient de se produire à nouveau pour ce run donc ça pourrait être a cause de génétiques instables. Déçu perte de temps et d'argent

DonEspas The buds are beautiful, balanced, their smell is medium/weak: melon / sugar / vanilla / caramel

DonEspas Beautiful blooming, compact and fragrant buds. The harvest is approaching! 21° / 65% humidity 🌈

DonEspas Premature harvest Cause botrytis 🐉👀 I sorted the moldy buds from the non-moldy ones I hope it doesn't spread any further thanks to my cleaning 😔🙏 Drying on a net with a bit strong ventilation but not directly on the buds (see photo/video) The buds smell like sweet fruit and kush ♥️🏴‍☠️

DonEspas Drying with the hope that botrytis doesn't spread any further....

DonEspas Harvest of Gelato #33 The buds are dense The trichome coverage doesn't seem very significant yet the smell is there! In my opinion, the smell is average but pleasant It smells like dessert cream and gas 🤷🐉
