Zollies_zn Welcome to another diary!๐ this time weโre going to try create some delicious desert ๐จ ๐ฑEnjoy the stay and feel free to give me some tips/advice!๐
So these are the only photo's I have for the first week as I only saw this baby Gelato on these days - its been nerve wracking not being able to check up on her more often๐
I soaked her in water for 16 hours, then into cotton wool for about 6 hours, then into her pre-soaked home! She popped up strong on 01/08/2018 to a very happy father ๐โ๏ธ
BUT! she is strong, she is vigorous and she is exciting me already๐ At first I was nervous about her at day 6 - she's only about 0.5cm tall and next to no space between the soil and her cotyledons, but I decided not to intervene as she is happy - I also plan on fluxing or mainlining her! Please leave some advise if you have any, I am nervous ๐
Okay, sheโs compact with tight inter nodal spacing - Iโm thinking of fluxing this lady!
Iโm nervous because I donโt want to stunt her, but feeling brave. Any advice or tips? Iโll consider mainlining instead!
You got more seeds? If so donโt be worried you got to always be trying to advance your knowledge just do it whatโs the worst that can happen :) ๐ฑ๐
Zollies_zn Hey hey ๐
I just wanna thank you all for your advices, I do appreciate it a lot ๐๐
Gaby (named her Gaby the Gelato) ๐ง grew stunningly in week 2, I was very pleased!๐ sheโs luscious and vigorous!
I read each one of your advices and decided to make a decision whilst bearing in mind each persons advice!๐ค
I decided to take a risk and I topped her ๐ I will then tie down her branchโs in and X shape due course and defoliate her depending on how she responds โ๏ธ The other option is to let her recover and then cut the first set of branches off and mainline her๐ค will have to see how she recovers! ๐โโ๏ธ๐ผ
Whatcha guys think now that Iโve topped her? Cut off the first two branches and mainline/flux?
Iโve fed her some microbes from a local brand - keen to see how it goes โ๏ธ๐ฑ
Edit - between topping and the next day Iโm pleased to say her growth is looking good so far, letโs hold thumbs!
Thanks for reading folks ๐๐ฑ๐

Zollies_zn Hey guys!๐
So I must say this week has been exciting! Although no conventional I am doing somewhat of a mixture of training and Gaby is responding very well - I must say she is vigorous and strong ๐
Iโve been defoliating her to let light into the new growth areas, tying her down and watching her go๐ช๐ she has small cracks from her main stem but Iโve been advised that itโs actually ok
Iโm very pleased with how she is doing! Iโve cranked the lights up to 24 hours a day in an attempt to prolong the veg period๐ฑ peace out guys n gals, hope all is well in your worlds!

Zollies_zn And so the training continues, Iโve really put this lady to the test and she is thriving ๐ I canโt wait to see how she turns out towards the end! She has started preflowering and will enter stretch soon!
Itโs been a learning curve for me using this training technique, and Iโve learnt a lot! Definitely will be trying this again๐ Fastbuds autos are resilient and vigorous, no doubt about that ๐คฉ hope you enjoyed this! Some may cringe ๐

Zollies_zn Hey guys! Sorry for the late updates, just went through a hell of a last few weeks. Completely mind blown.
Struggling with temp management - had to move my grow to a whole other room and now my environment is completely thrown! But still chugging along with some damn awesome genetics! They only getting water and bio enhance every two weeks.
This lady is coming in hot into flowering!
@Silky_smooth, awesome, thanks a lot, Iโll give it a bash - Iโm an unconventional person in any case ๐คช Iโm keen for this! And shot for the tip about the 24hr lighting! Last one, if I switch to 24 will it affect my other flowering autos?
@Zollies_zn,for that i have not sollid answer my friend if they are not showing white pistels as small as they can be when they start then your to late but normaly you have still time if you dont see any signs of white pistels you can up the light๐๐
Keen to see how this lady turns out!
I've only grown 2 autos so far & got the courage to top them both last season, was only on the 4th node & both did well.
Have heard the fastbuds get a bit bigger than most autos, so I'm sure she'll fill out nicely.
Will keep an eye on this one & maybe get brave with my next batch. :P
@Shinsimilla, Thank you Shin! i appreciate that, i'm very excited to see what happens ๐ been such an enlightening experience doing this training๐
Hi there,
Your lady looks amazing :) i did the same technique as you, trying to create an X shape plant.
And that on my first try, can't say i'm not a little bit worried ghehe but time will tell mate!
Happy growing,
Grtz- BB
@WiddieThePooh, I donโt use any nutrients, but Incase of a deficiency I have biobizz grow and bloom on hand!
I use organic soil with organic amendments - let me know if you want a list of that perhaps?
@Zollies_zn,
Naah, I thought because of this excessive training that your plants are going through, you might have needed some nutes, to speed the process up. Good luck brother, I'll be following this grow.
And as you can see so far the โdont mainlineโ remark is a joke right because she looks very amazing my friend๐๐๐i wish you a bountyfull harvest๐๐๐๐๐
@Silky_smooth, 100% ! You were spot onโ! and thank you, its been such fun training this beautiful strain๐ can't wait to perfect this method ๐ thank you for the good wishes Miss, much appreciated ๐๐
Hey there!
Thanks so much for growing our genetics :)
Good luck with your Gelato Auto ๐๐ผ
Let us know if you need any assistance
Happy Growing! ๐๐ฑ
Hey, I used to think that I couldn't top or LST autoflowers because of chances of stunning her but honestly, nowadays breeders select such good genes from prior genetics of autoflowers that it can be done and they will reward you with large harvest.
