deFharo Welcome, marijuana growers! 🖐️ 👨🌾
I'm starting a new growing season, I'm going to grow six plants in my grow tent... 😁
This time I've germinated a Gelato 44 seed from Royal Queen Seeds.
I put the seed in a glass of hot water, kept it there for 36 hours, and it germinated. Then I placed it between damp cotton for another 24 hours to let the root grow. I transferred the seed to a small pot with an elevated bottom and dome. I fit 3 pots to raise the bottom; this technique helps to get many vertical roots, guided by gravity.
I prepared a light substrate made of peat and coconut fiber, adding some worm humus.
I keep the seedlings under 24 hours of light, during the day they live by a window, absorbing the unmatched color spectrum of the sun. When day gives way to night, I put the seedlings in the grow tent and illuminate them with two LED panels, one with white light at 7700K and another blue at 450nm. Total consumption is 66w.
😁 UNTIL NEXT TIME. CHEERS AND GREETINGS TO EVERYONE!

@eldruida_lamota, I hope so, thanks! I'm growing this strain to have some potent indica to mix with the sativas every now and then and enhance their effect when smoking. The marketing linking these seeds to M. Tyson is understood as being very potent, but honestly, it's too much for me 😂
@deFharo, it is indeed potent, those buds turned out dense for me. I think I put 2 varieties of the tyson, and the one I liked the most was the Gelato, but that's just personal preference.
@eldruida_lamota, I smoke everything I grow, I respect all the plants equally, I collect cured buds 😁. I like smooth sativas, to smoke all day long without stopping 😋.
@deFharo, yeah everyone looks for something in weed, in my case I prefer to chill out with a good indica or a hybrid that’s strong. I get your point about sativas not having that strong physical touch. The Gelatos are just a pretty strong hybrid, they have the good stuff from sativa and that physical touch from indica. Let me know in a few months how it turned out for you.
Great start! 🌱 Gelato 44 is off to a promising beginning, and it’s great to see how carefully you’ve prepared the setup. Wishing you a smooth start to the new grow season. keep us posted on how she develops! 🙌🌱
