Serving Gelato: First Try

Kapisto Nothing much happened this week. I'm just trying to keep the temperatures and humidity as stable as possible. The LED light is currently running at 25%. I removed the plastic humidity bottles since their first true leaves are already getting bigger. The third sloooow seed is finally catching up 🙂. I only watered once during this time, it took about 10 days from the initial soak for the pots to feel light again. Every pot got 0.5l of water with Voodoo Juice and B-52. So far, so good 😊

Kapisto They started to grow very quickly this week. Beginning of week increased light to 33%, end of the week 45%. Watered every 4th day 0.5l with Voodoo Juice (2ml/l) and B-52 (1.5ml/l). No base nutes yet. Turned on Diffuse Air fan to strengthen stems. Environment stable at 24-25.°C and 64-66% RH. Plants look happy I hope haha. Waiting for the 5th node to start LST, maybe next week.

Kapisto Increased the light to 50% this week and upped watering to 1L every 3–4 days. B-52 and Voodoo Juice remain the same. Did some LST on the two bigger girls, while leaving the smaller one untouched to compare the progress. Very curious to see how they will turn!

Kapisto This week was quite interesting! I started using watering pods and realized the girls are drinking way more than I used to give them. I think this is the last week of veg since I can already see some white pistils on the stems. The leaf tips turned a bit light, so I only gave them RO water with Cal-Mag this week. I adjusted the LST, trimmed a few leaves, and bumped the light to 75%. So far so good, hopefully everything keeps running smoothly! haha..

Kapisto This week was full of action again haha. They’re drinking almost 1L per day now, refilling the pods every 2-3 days. Had a small calcium issue on one girl, hopefully fixed with CalMag now. Still fighting burnt tips a bit. I realized my DLI was way too high, so I moved the light further away to 40cm. DLI is around 40 now, so let's see in the coming days. We also got hit by a crazy heatwave, humidity was jumping to almost 80% at night. Hope it stays under control now. Other than that, the girls look super happy and are growing like crazy :). Little bud sites are popping up, hope that stretch will be ending soon :)

Kapisto Not much happened this week! Still fighting the burnt tips a bit, but it's getting much better on the new growth. The stretch is pretty much finished I think, the girls are barely growing taller anymore. Cleaned up a few yellow bottom leaves to open up airflow. Keeping it like this and we should be good haha! BTW, one girl is drinking way less than the other two (younger one). Hope it won't be an issue, we'll see in a couple of weeks! Aah, and one last thing, the heatwave is finally done, but rain is on the way, which means a humidity roller coaster this week… can't wait!

Kapisto Big milestone this week, the tent is finally starting to smell amazing haha! The stretch is officially done, the girls didn't grow a single cm. The dehumidifier is running 24/7 to keep RH under 60% with all the rain outside. Cleaned up some yellow bottom leaves on one girl... I read somewhere that the last two weeks are the longest six weeks of a man's life, so we're waiting haha… Quick stats: the girls are drinking a steady 1L per day. For the yellowing one, I switched back to top watering as I had a feeling she wasn't drinking from the bottom for some reason, IDK why… Temps are more or less stable, max 27°C with the dehumidifier at its peak, min 22°C when the girls sleep. Humidity sometimes jumps over 70%, but I'm trying to keep it under 60%, or even lower. I hope the airflow will do its job! :)
