Getting a little extra light as a seedling, since being in a taller pot than the other three in the tent. I think she would prefer less.. Going good, nonetheless!

Growth is good, but a little slow. Hairs visible, and staggered nodes on new growth.. I'm worried she's already transitioning to flower..

This Gelato autoflower is developing nicely! She's ready for a defoliation. The defoliation will be done on next weeks watering day. 2.5 gallon dosage of the above listed nutes lasts her 5 days, becoming 90% dry, and ready for the next 2.5 gallon dosage!

Day 57, and looking super spicy!!! The yields aren't too big on this one, but the potency is well making up for that! I will have to try growing this strain out again, in hopes for a bigger phenotype!

Flushed 20 gallons of water through 1.302 mll
Flushed 20 gallons through the growing medium today, in preparation for harvest! I'm 100% sure she was nutrient-locked, PH of the run-off was around 4.5. From now on, I will pay greater attention to the Run-off PH, when my plants shows symptoms. Lesson learned! If I corrected her earlier, her potential would have been much greater! After the flush, the run-off has: ppm is at 80, and PH is 6.

The final week!Just waiting for the trichomes to shift from milky/clear ---> milky/30% amber. This girl was unfortunately nutrient locked since week 3 of flower, due to low ph (~4). Yield suffered. Potency didn't!

Letting the growing medium become nice and dry, before harvesting! She's very frosty! I'm excited for the harvest.. I think this time, i'll dry trim.

I will be growing her again, as I feel like I let her down, by letting her PH drift so low.. Other than that, she grew beautifully, and fumes of potency as you gaze at her! She yielded more than I expected! She's not that far below my previously lowest yielding plant! :)
