Day 35 the plant is responding very well to change in lighting 12/12 a quick note is because of my limited space in a 3 by 3 room with lots of upper space more than 8 feet that's the reason I release all low stress training ties in order to encourage upper growth and stretch as much high as possible instead of wide because of the limited space in my tent. ) but the plant doesn't seem to have a large flowering stretch it is growing at still slower pace then other plants in my garden you can see the Girl Scout Cookies genetic in it in how it looks and also how fast it grows therefore I'm guessing that a lot of the smell taste in high must be in this plant as well looking forward to see the flowering the smell and the quality of the buds.
Day 36 I have to do more defoliation on the plant to allow for better light penetration as well I raised the plant with a small step stool to create an even canopy.
Thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow.
@Kostecs, thank you for your comment and I'm really glad you enjoy the diary and I hope you can get some useful tips for your own Garden. But she's not done yet and I'm sure that from now on she's going to start to put a nice show.
Good luck with your garden and have a happy grow.
@Kostecs, thank you for your comment and she did develop a lot of beauty branches unfortunately I had to sacrifice the lower ones because of lack of light but in the right environment and with the correct amount of light for sure she will Thrive and be a beauty nevertheless she has developed quite nicely and I think from now on is going to build up on those buds the white snow(trichomes) around them is a beautiful sight to see a very nice gentle Aroma is coming out of them.
And yes you are correct for the next watering cycle I will trim down some leaves to allow more light to penetrate but not too many because the leaves are essential to convert light into flower.
Good luck with your garden
@Kostecs, also I forgot to mention that from breeder to breeder they could be a slight genetic difference even among the same strain not to mention that when you start from seed even from the same plant provider of the seeds you could end up having different looking plans with slightly different outcomes that's where other factors come in to play like genetics the stability all the Plants strain and other factors I believe that the breeder you mention carries gelato Auto form so that one will perform different as well. Good luck with your garden
@Kostecs, thank you for your comment and the looks of the plant has to do with the fact of the fiming as well as the low stress training done early on unfortunately I'm having trouble to deliver a quality amount of good light to them and I raised her as much as I can I wish I can go to a hardware store and get a few buckets so I can get them her higher but everything is closed and very hard to get anything now so because of this I don't expect the plans to give me as much as I was hoping for I have noticed that this kind oh plant tends to be very skinny with little or no branches but because of the fim and the training of the plant it develop much more branches but for optimal height and flawers it requires probably three more weeks of vegetable grow so total 7 to 8 weeks and they're flowering stretch is pretty small it will double in height maximum so compared to other strains that just go ballistic in their flowering stretch. This one does not require lots of space .
Good luck with your garden thank you for reading have a happy grow.
(Quick note the Seeds have been deliver straight from the breeder so no issue with a purity of the strain or genetic material of the seeds are possible)
@Canadian, yes that’s a great idea. I’m trying to plan my next project too. Going to do a three plant show. Low stress on two fast buds and topping/tying a pink kush auto. How’s the weather?
@Ozeola, thank you for your comment and hoping to get some big flowers now that I have more spare time because off the Health crisis I can dedicate a little bit more time and care to my garden.
@Canadian, that is really great to hear! I am planting my first batch of Blue Cheese and Northern Lights in May. Then in June i'll plant the Gelato! Since your Canadian you might be interested in following Transistor Autoflower on Instagram
@Kostecs, thank you for your comments and I will try to keep posted on the small details so you have some reference ahead of you . So far it is growing very strong .have a happy grow.
@Kostecs, she has start to pack some weight in those buds how big are those flowers going to get depends much on the amount of light .since the light is higher than 3 feet I introduced a couple of regular light bulb in order to try to supplement more light to this girl.
Thank you for your comment and have a happy grow
Looks great bud ... so thick..
"release all low stress training ties in order to encourage upper growth and stretch as much high as possible instead of wide because of the limited space in my tent".
is that something you've done before that works?
@Kostecs, yes I do this all the time to encourage them to stretch upwards and the only way to get more of different strains growing together in a 3 by 3 foot space it's like this definitely this space would be good for maybe one or two but with 4 you need to look for ways to make it work.
I discover that they stop becoming bushy and all the new growth that they actually acquire get pushed to the top searching for light and therefore more flower.
If I were you unless the strains you're putting in the ground are autos especially the gelato give it a head start from this month because by the time August occur and the switching of the time reaches 13 hours it will have stretch sufficient to give you a nice Harvest otherwise they will not grow that much because it is a slow growing plant.
Good luck with your garden have a happy grow
@Naturalist, thank you for your comments and my understanding is that some plants will benefit from cooler temperatures at the very end of their flowering cycle not on vegetable time but again we are all learning it could be a strained or type of plant that actually will thrive on vegetable time on cold temperatures all the strains I have been growing are the ones I cannot easily purchase on the legal Market and I would love to have them and try them so they are all new to me I can tell that this plant it's thriving with this environment and temperature .
I well Continue to post more detail information so we can all know the do and the don'ts with this strain.
