I'm very excited about this grow, I always wanted to grow Gelato from FastBuds, I know it's one of their strong hitters. For this journey, I chose a mix of GHE and AN, I think GHE produces the best quality base nutrients and especially their coco line. On the other hand, AN is famous with its BigBud/Overdrive combo which gives some furious results. Let's see how it all unfolds.
Thus far everything goes smoothly, nothing much to tell at the moment, feeding her regularly and watching her progress.
UPDATE: She seems to be a pretty strong pheno. I think I'll top her by the end of this week.
Time has come for my lady for a topping. I know many people don't like to top autos but this pheno seems really strong, she looks very healthy and the growth process is very fast for her age. I'm sure she will have a fast recovery 👌
UPDATE: Indeed she had a great recovery, looking very healthy overall.
All good so far, this new line of GH coco nutes seem to be working fine, especially Bio Root, making the root system and stem very strong. I'll LST her this week. will update.
She is doing fine, I LSTed her a bit, thinking of defoliating but, I'm not really sure, I probably won't. Her growth tempo is great. I'm fine with all the results I got by far. As I said before all good thus far.
EDIT: She has a little curly-leaf problem and I fixed it with CalMag Plus
She had curly leaves, I added CalMag and it quickly fixed all the problems. I had to defoliate her as well, she was getting way bushier than I wanted her to be. Lower branches weren't getting enough light so I chopped some leaves down. Currently, she is in great shape .
Well, well, well, here we are at the final stage of our growth, it's time for this girl to get as much THICC as possible, that's why I'll give her OVERDRIVE, let's see how it ends up.
#2MoreWeeksToGo
Her time has come, I've never seen buds this sticky before, it feels like the buds are just full with juice. Smell is very strong as well, typical skunk like.
I flushed her for the last 3 days and chopper her on day 82
This strain has a great phenotype, as you might have noticed, I topped this plant. Some say you can't top autos, but you can indeed top them only if these two conditions are met: 1)you should grow it in coco 2) the strain has to have a great phenotype, only top quality breeders have this kind of strains.
This is a very strong indica strain, that hits your brain first, then slowly moves down to the belly and after a few minutes, you can feel the tingling in your whole body. You feel very relaxed and more of a couch-locked. A great feeling of happiness, dizziness and just well-being.
Gelato by FastBuds exceeded all my expectations, I think it's my new favorite strain of theirs.
The plant was chopped on day 82. It was flushed for last 3 days. The overall growing experience was very easy, I gave the nutrients according to the feed charts and that was it. This strain has a very strong smell so you might need a carbon filter.
I will dry it for the next 4 days.
Good luck on the grow, looks like she has gotten off to a great start! Do you top autos alot if you don't mind me asking? And if so I see your girl here looks pretty happy with it but do you find that they usually take well to it? I am currently germinating 5 of these and planned to train them but the thought of topping autos gets me slightly anxious because of all the Chinese whispers so i never get as far as lst aha 😑
@WiddieThePooh, yeah they look like they took it well.. I gave it a miss again this time haha so just training them instead.. these are coming along though arent they, and getting nice and frosty ❄️
@WiddieThePooh, well I add nutrients every time I water anyway with biobizz, so I guess it wouldn't be changing much but do you not need to monitor ph and ec? As I literally just mix and pour my feeds as the soil buffers everything out for me.. it has worked for me since I started growing but I'm just interested in trying something different and seeing how I can improve things maybe
