Blue Gelato 41 / GSC

4.29-5.5 Put seeds in mug of water and set on a plate. Covered with plastic baggie and turned on heat pad for small periods of time over night. The 1 GSC popped, planted all 3 in pre watered pots. I turned on the intake and outgoing fans to circulate air from the room it's in. I have a heater and humidifier going in that room to get temp to around 75° in the tent. The GSC broke the soil so I am starting the 18 hour light cycle with lights out between 1 and 7 p.m. The lights are set 16" from soil at 32 watts to get lux between 5k-7k for all 3 pots.

5.6-5.12 Raised the watts to 75 since the 2 side ones are stretching.

5.13 - 5.19 I raised the lights a bit and keep watering every 2 days roughly.

5.20 - 5.26 I raised the lights to keep them 16" away and hung the temp and humidity sensor so it's just over the "canopy". I raised the watts to 100 to get lux reading on each plant around 20k - 25k. I topped the left and right plants.

5.27 - 6.2 Well, I did a poor job on the topping so I redid all 3. I raised the lights to 18" to get more coverage. I adjusted watts to 175 to get lux around 30k on canopy. I cut off a couple of the large leaves off each plant to get some light penetration. I will probably do this again in a few days.

6.3 - 6.9 I cut 2 large fan leaves off the bottom of each plant and did last on lower branches. I added .5 teaspoon kelp extract and roughly 20-25ml blackstrap molasses to my 5 liter jug and watered plants. I will continue this every 3-4 waterings. I topped all 6 main stems and I will probably flip to flower at the end of week 7. I broke a branch on one of the plants. I twist tied it to main stems to close "wound" and covered with tape. Here's for hoping it recovers. I lightly watered and lightly defoliated all plants. I let it get too bushy and it seems to want a full watering every 1.5 days.

6.10 - 6.16 Pics were taken shortly after lights on. Second day I decided to do heavy defoliation of half the larger fan leaves in center or blocking too much light. I heavily defoliated today and watered with kelp extract and molasses to hopefully make them recover quickly. I'm extending lights out one hour and starting 12-12 schedule. 8am-8pm will be lights out so when lights are on it'll be cooler ambient temperature.

6.17 - 6.23 I raised the watts to 270 to get between 40k-50k lux on top of canopy.

6.24 - 6.30 This week has been very difficult to keep humidity down so I will be defoliating the beginning of the next week.

7.1 - 7.7 Defoliated to expose bud sites to light and hopefully lower humidity. I haven't seen any issues arise due to higher humidity, luckily. Having issues with heat and humidity still. I lowered the temp on the ac but even with the ac(which removes moisture from air) and dehumidifier I can't get the RH down. I'm just working to keep it as low as possible to prevent mold.

7.8 - 7.14 I lightly defoliated all plants toward the tops.

7.15 - 7.21 I may start adding molasses every other watering to help feed the soil as leaves are turning yellow a little.

7.22 - 7.28 I'm removing yellow leaves if they easily pull off.

7.29 - 8.4 I am removing yellow leaves that basically come off themselves. They are forming in the center and bottom of the plant where they receive less light.

8.5 - 8.11

8.12 - 8.18 I got a stronger dehumidifier to lower the humidity. With the summer heat and the heat from the dehumidifier the temp may become a concern. The plants are starting to get amber so this may be the last week or two.

8.19 - 8.25 The left side plant has been getting bananas in the bud. I've been trimming them out of the bud as I see them.

8.26 - 9.3 Turned light off for 48 hours on the 1st and cut down each and wet trimmed and hung in tent as whole plants on the 3rd.

Quality looks good, but quantity is less than I was hoping for. I will fill in more I do after curing for 30 days.
