The plant seem to be growing pretty good liking their environment at this early stage there is not much to report they are reaching their five node and I will top the plant at the 6 node. Today day 17 I FIM them at the 6 node. Day 21 the plant has responded very well to Fiming and I have proceeded to defoliate to allow light to penetrate on those side branches I will allow one more week of vegetable growth and then I will flip them to flowering time 12/12 . Thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow.

Day 22 the plant has been growing very strong very fast responding well to low stress training . Looking forward to see how the plant will develop next week if everything go smooth I will flip them to flowery time 12/12 Day 23rd is reacting very well to LST I need to adjust the ties everyday I will continue doing so until the last days of the week then I will flip them to flower time and LST will be kept to a minimum. 24 this plant it is a very bushy plant the leaves grow really close together and a lot of leaves so this one requires trimming in order to help the light to penetrate everywhere so far responding pretty well to training. I will continue to update thank you for reading have a happy grow.

Day 29 the plant is responding very well to topping and low stress training it will benefit from 2 more week of vegetable growth but the other plants in my tent cannot be hold back so today I flip them to 12/12 so far the plant is very comfortable in their environment . Day 30th I release all the ties from now on I will let them grow without any resistance trimming a few leaves here and there and using a net to give them support afterwards. Day 33 today I did defoliation and probably will be one of the last intense cuts until late flowering. I will continue to update thank you for reading a happy grown

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.

The plant seems to grow very slowly so lots of vegging time will be very beneficial for this one overall health smell and looks are doing fine and the plan seem to enter flowering stage and it's starting to create the beginnings of the buds. Day 44 the plant is very bushy and today I have to trim some more fan leafs a bit more mostly in the centre area of the plant so that I can encourage maximum light penetration.

Day 50 and the plant seems to be growing healthy even though it's not stretching much my understanding is that this type of strain it is slow-growing type and require more of vegetable time than others plants flower seems to be developing fine but because there is a large difference in height between this girls and the other girls of my tent I had to introduce a regular light bulbs in there to try to address this not sure how is going to turn out but definitely I need more light in there and with the shut down everywhere not many places to Source out new equipment so have to do new ways to make it happen. Day 52 she is responding well to the light and from now on I will not give her no more nitrogen until she start asking for more maybe close to the end I have to cut some leaves here in there because this girl is a very bushy plant Thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow.

Day 57 the plant has been growing healthy and fine but she is a slow grower . I know that most of the growers in this platform and elsewhere do defoliate and trim down all the lower branches of the plant so that the plant can concentrate all its energy into the higher bigger and better buds .and I do not do this because I drive the plants very hard with nutrients and those lower branches with small buds always give me the first sign of anything going wrong with her and that's why I leave them as a buffer zone to protect the bigger buds and that way I can push her as hard as I want. not much to mention about her thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow

The plant has continued to stretch into this week and I don't think it's going to stretch anymore it looks like it's starting to build up their flowers. The plant does not need a lot of nutrients in fact it's not one of those very hungry just a standard diet will be sufficient thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow.

Day 71 from seed the plant seems to be coming along nicely and flowering stretch has come to a end . I cut some of the lower branches that were carrying some flower because there was no way they were going to develop on time with the higher branches because of lack of light penetration at that lower level and since nothing well happened to those lower branches she can start concentrating her effort and energy on to the higher buds. Interesting note with this girl has been that she has stretch constantly up to this point therefore not putting a lot of effort on building up those flowers that makes me hope that when she starts putting Wight in those flowers they are going to be beautiful.

Day 78 from seed to plant is doing very well despite the lack of light and a starting to pack some weight into those flowers really not much to comment about her except that in my tent she has been developing slowly but without any issues at this rate I will probably crop all the plans in my tent , and lower the light for this one because I think she's running behind between 3 and 4 weeks compared to the other girls in my tent but I have big hopes for her. thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow.

Day 85 from seed and it looks like the lack of light has seriously handicapped this girl unfortunately for her because she developed so nicely and had so much potential I'm going to have to do a rerun of this beauty again just to get out a really decent amount of flower but the smell and good looks are really starting to pull together I will try everything in my power to raise her up today or tomorrow because I still hope she can develop a little bit more until Harvest. I will continue to update thank you for reading a happy grow.

Day 92 from seed the plant has responded very well to lifting her up to have more exposure to the light the buds start to fatten them right away unfortunately it's too late to get huge buds as I was hoping in the beginning but nevertheless for sure it will give me a very good quality flower despise the lack of light in the most important weeks for Bud development and unfortunately that time cannot be claimed back despise that she looks beautiful and I'm sure she will be delightful to smoke .

Is remarkable how this girl is packing on weight on those flowers after so much light deprivation decided to do some low stress training on her to open up the branches to allow for more light to penetrate in the lower buds to encourage more maturity. smells and look are wonderful.

Can’t believe the legs on her bro.. Legs for days!! Hopefully those bugs get more light and bulk up. Time to defoliate a bit?

@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.

Canadiancommented5 years ago
@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
Kostecscommented5 years ago
@Canadian, sounds like you have a great handle on it brother ...great work!
Canadian
Canadiancommented5 years ago
@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
Canadian
Canadiancommented5 years ago
@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
Canadiancommented5 years ago
@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
Kostecs
Kostecscommentedweek 65 years ago
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?
Canadian
Canadiancommented5 years ago
@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

I heard this strain should have cool temp during veg, it does ok this warm? Looks pretty.
Canadian
Canadiancommented5 years ago
@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.
