Just soaked the paper towel to begin germination. Set up a 2x2x4.5’ tent with 195cfm outtake fan, carbon filter setup, 135w hlg v2 qb led light cranked from 135w down to about 100 or so.
Set seed in towel inside plates on top of the tent for a bit of warmth and also to test run the setup to make sure nothing literally falls apart.
Day 0:
After two days, the taproot was ready and I planted her into a Wendy’s cup with holes for overflow. Put her inside the tent with he light about 3’ up and cranked down to about 30%. This cup was filled with Happy Frog soil.
Day 3: I keep watering her. Dropped the lights to 18” yesterday. Been giving her plain water PhD to 6.5 when she asks for it. Took the dome off. Cranked the light to about 40-50%
Day 4: she was leaning over in a weird way so I propped her up with some more dirt. Seemed to help. I have the fan going on her slightly at the moment, and will continue to rotate it day by day to not keep pushing in the same direction.
Day 5: The second top is starting to show up. She is looking better than yesterday, and I crank the light to 50% from roughly about 30 to 35% or so
"Realized that I didn’t calculate light distance from plant into height calculation so it is imperitive to flip now". Translation: The plant is kicking ass and growing like crazy so she's headed to flower😎
@THCVplus, hahaha thanks man. Basically. Funny enough, the stretch wasn’t even that bad. I ended up having to supercrop a couple stems lightly but wasn’t too bad.
wow that was a monster plant! Impressive yield i feel like i can smell it through the screen, awesome job man! Any ideas what strain you are going to grow next?
@tacoisbrow420, thank you for the kind words! I will probably try to grow another Gelat.OG this next time. I have another diary I just made public where I grew it in a space bucket. I made quite a few mistakes but it came out good nonetheless. It will come out even better with the new tent.
I’m thinking another SCROG. I enjoyed the method a lot. I am also considering maybe doing SOG with 2 Gelat.OG, 1 Critical Purple Kush but I don’t know if I’m up for that.
Trim day (day 8 dry). Trimmer her up. Smelled delicious the whole time. Started at 10:30 pm and didn’t finish til about 4:30 am. Jarred up 9 jars of half pint jars worth of bud. Looks good can’t wait to try it. Might sample some small pieces later.
Jan 29. (Day 5). Humidity dropped a bit more. Now it’s down to 45 but it’s a nice 72 in there. I turned off the fan inside because the temp and humidity are stabilizing. I think tomorrow or Friday will be trim day. I’m majorly excited.
