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!

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! :)

I've never mainlined an auto or even though of doing so. I'll be following this one. Curious to see how it pans out
Basementganja
Basementganjacommented5 years ago
@DaSofaSurfer, Yeah! Much less is sacrificed, but there's less root-mass established.. With autos, there's no time to sacrifice 2 weeks. By that time, it's too late to consider topping!
DaSofaSurfer
DaSofaSurfercommented5 years ago
@Basementganja, yeah man. I see what you're doing. Traditionally with mainlining ppl wait till they wait on 6th node and chop it back down to 3rd (that throws away like 2 weeks of growth) U top on second node and do your "T" shape straight from there. Good on you.
Basementganja
Basementganjacommented5 years ago
@DaSofaSurfer, This girl is going to be smaller, but still nice! Here's a link to the Girl Scout Cookies I just completed. She was topped above the second node, on day 15, similar to this, except she grew a big larger. I'll link you straight into the timelapse, so you can watch her entire growth! Happy growing! :) growdiaries.com/diaries/50247-fastbuds-girl-scout-cookies-grow-journal-by-basementganja

😂😂😂😂😂 pure fire? Looks like somebody sprayed that plant with acid (ph under 4). Dont tell people you got 38 g from this plant😂😂😂😂 yeah we all make mistakes but don't lie!

ShotGunBobcommented5 years ago
@Basementganja, i would guess not close to 20 g

@@@@@ShotGunBob, Lmao stop hating. 38 grams is not much from a plant.. You think this is a large yield? Feel free to ask me any questions... peace.

You're the first grower that I've seen who uses par instead of raving about watts. Lol. Thank you
Basementganja
Basementganjacommented5 years ago
@RonnieB, Glad I can be a sane/scientific point of reference! :D It's all about the ratio of (Par : Watts : Heat) that determines your lights potential, and cost!
