Finding the love again... Gelato Auto

GnarlySeedGenetics Just plain water 150ml on day 4, 350ml on day 6

GnarlySeedGenetics Bumped up to 800ml plain water on day 10, 1l on day 14

GnarlySeedGenetics First feed on day 20 with ¼ ml grow and 1ml calmag per litre

GnarlySeedGenetics Lights got put up to 75% on the xs1000 as I saw signs of pre flower at the start of the week, and then she shot up 10cm overnight and carried on growing pretty quickly.. soon filled out the 45cm x 45cm space to the point I started to consider a little bit of training.. I ended up getting some pipe cleaners and pulled the side stems apart a little for air movement and light to penetrate better but I feel some light defoliatuion may be needed? She got her first feed of bloom and top max aswell as removed the first set of leaves after the cotlydons as they had finally shrivelled up and gone crispy.. thinking of stripping the lower 3rd of the plant soon as the stretch is over but unsure as its an auto and I wanted to keep her completely natural and hands off as I can, a few of the true leaves are starting to die off at the bottom which I probably will remove as they get to more than 50% brown but unsure of whether to remove some green growth or not...

GnarlySeedGenetics Finishing week 5 with her being about 55cm tall I decided to use a couple pipe cleaners to pull the branches out a bit to train them a little as well as taking off quite a few fan leaves on the main stem and around the bottom of the plant.. She seems to be okay from it but time will tell Shes on .5ml/L of grow, 1ml/L of bloom and .5ml/L of top max with a plain water feed every 3rd watering and is currently needing a water every 3rd day Pistils are there just need the buds to start forming and fattening now
