Update for 2 weeks. Been pretty busy lately and missed last week's update. Everything got moved around a little bit. Picked up a bigger 4x4 that is just waiting on the light. After it's finished this tent will run autos only. Nearing the end of growth for the Gelato O.G. I really just can't say enough about how easy it has been to manage. It has grown with ease and vigour since day one of seedling. The buds are really starting to plump and garden up hairs are beginning to turn red and curl in. It has developed a very sweet aroma and looks as if it was dusted with sugar. So far just from the perspective of growing it I would recommend it for ease. Will do a full smoke report after drying/curing. Not getting anymore top dressing, just ph'd water from 6.5-6.8 to flush it for harvest. This will be my first time doing a Gelato strain, but definitely not the last. Temps in new room are steady around 75, humidity is around 40%. As for now the gnat problem has been knocked down. The weather outside has been cold so I'm sure that helped.
Looks really good! I Personally think by the time the plant is done stretching, which it looks like its forming buds and slowing the stretch) To go ahead and do a ratio of 75% flower and 25% all purpose Fert.
the last time I amend with 50/50 is just before the plant takes off for the stretching phase. try that next time and see how you like it!
@NattyMeds, this plants stretch was so minimal I hardly noticed it. I went a little more than 50/50 it was 4 tbs of fruit and flower and 2 tbs all purpose. Next feeding probably just give it 1 tbs all purpose and 5 tbs fruit and flower. Bag calls for 2 tbs per gallon pot size. My pots are 3 gallon.
Looking like you're well on your way to full blown flower mode !!! Very well documented as well , keep up the great work . Looking forward to seeing more updates on this flowering session !!
Happy Growing!!
