Gelato Auto

I'm really happy to finally be starting these autos. I got some freebies from 420 fastbuds a few months back, which I'm super grateful for. Of the three seeds I received I have popped two. So far these seem to doing great. I cant wait to see how these grow.

So this week I moved these two little gelato autos over to a 5x5 tent I have set up and they're doing just fine in there with the rest of the ladies. I've started watering a wider area of the pot to promote root growth toward that moisture. Other than that I've just maintained the climate and watered as needed.

These two plants look nice and perky this week. They both started thier transition from veg to bloom this week and I couldn't be happier. I'm hoping to see a lot of growth this week.

Hey guys, so one of these gelato has started to chunk up real nice while the other isnt quite as big they're both starting to develop some little buds. I've started to tie over the top of the main stem and I've tucked some of the larger leafs under the lower buds to help them get a little more light.

Everything seems to be going smooth with these. Of the two, one is quite large compared to the other. It looks like its gonna be a pretty chunky plant. Not sure how the second will turn out. It doesnt seem to be drinking in water like it should and I've had to hold off on watering it as much. It just doesnt seem to want to keep up but it's coming along just fine.

So this week went pretty well. I top dressed everything again this weekend with gaia greens and things are looking healthy. I defoliated a few leaves that were blocking the middle and lower buds from the light. It's starting to smell pretty strong. It's nice and skunky.

The gelato auto is one of the frostiest strains in the grow room right now. It's been fun watching it quickly morph into a short and chunky little plant in just a few weeks time. I havent seen the height out of the phenos I have that I've seen in other grows but I do like the bud structure on these. I defoliated a little to open up light zones but didn't really have to do much since I wont need to top dress for another week or maybe not at all depending on how things look at that point.

This gelato is stacking it on. It's nice and frosty too 😎 I did a run off last week and ended up with about 1850ppm and a 6.6ph. I decided to water in at 6.0ph this week to keep it from getting too high. At the end of the week my ppm had dropped to 1700 and my ph was down to 6.4 on the run off. The trichs are starting to cloud up so it shouldn't be too much longer before the gelato is ready for harvest.

The colas on this plant were loaded with frosty nugs. I'm impressed by the yield on this chunky little plant. For this grow I only used gaia greens 4-4-4 all purpose and 2-8-4 power bloom organic dry nutrients. I started out with 2tbsp of power bloom with 6tbsp of all purpose blended into a 3 gal pot of 70/30 coco/perlite mix. Two weeks I did 6tbsp at a 50/50 mix. At week 4 I top dressed with 4tbsp of power bloom and 2tbsp of all purpose and again on week 6. From week 8 to week 9 I flushed the soil. The dry took 7 days and after letting it cure for a few days, burping it twice daily, the smoke turned out amazing.
