So excited for this grow! seems like a pretty slow start tho. humidity fluctuates a-lot and I cant really control it since the tent is on the balcony. I'm at the mercy of nature So far I use a spray bottle to keep the surface of the soil wet. I hit them twice a day, 10-20ML each time. Growing in Pro-mix HP in a 2.5 x 2.5 ft tent with Toronto Tap water

Its very hard to control temperature in the tent. The temperature fluctuates with outdoor conditions and my light Increases the temperature in the tent by 4-5 Degree C. I started a half dose of Advanced nutrients Micro (15~ drops in a litre of water)

First week of flowering!! I’m glad to have 4 weeks of veg and start flowering. It’s August 17th and this tent can only be out on my balcony until the end of September to early October. So I have about 6-9 weeks of flower time before it’s too cold. I feed 1L every other day with an 8-10ml per litre of the 3 nutes I’m using

Lower leaves started turning light green / yellow . I flushed with 4-5l of water, the runoff was dark LOL maybe nutrient lockout started. Good thing I caught on early Day 5 since the flush, the soil is soaked, but there’s no new yellow foliage!

Great start to the week. Buds starting to develop. Introduced Unsulphered Blackstrap Molasses this week in the feeding. It was freezing for the first time 11C at night. Night time is starting to scare me, it gets humid and cold. I might have to bring the whole operation inside

After end of week 8 I moved the whole set up inside ! Gelato smells nasty , blueberry tones to it but smells like actual shit . Like diesel or chemical , kinda worried it’s rotting Fed second round of molasses helped the smell

Happy Harvest Day!

Grew sticky and smelly , like blueberry and tropical Mold. I was actually worried it was too sweet and pungent in the crazy humidity I had it for the first 8 weeks. As soon as the WPM started getting annoying I chopped it, buds are dense and oily and 10% Amber trichomes. Will update on the smoke and real dried weight!! Thanks Barney’s Farm

Love watching this gelato grow , I FIMed and LST her and got multiple tops . Stem wasn’t the thickest and it grew small compared to the rest . Most unique smelling and resinous. It doesn’t get nutrient burn easily but accumulation of salt build up causes pH problems. It was quickly to rebound after quick flush . Would grow this strain again
