Hi guys welcome back to week 9 of gelato auto from female seeds. Well we are getting pretty close to the end now she's put on a decent amount of bud and the pistils are beginning to retract and she's swelling most of her fan leaves have yellowed and I've defoliated most fans to get more light where it matters. It gives of a smell unlike any strain I've grown before when I walk into the room I catch a sweet chocolatey aroma followed by the more minty citrus scent that I'm accustom to. This plant grew awesome in veg however I don't care so much for the bud spacing It's not that big of a issue except when getting light intensity to lower buds becomes difficult. It's putting on a ton of trichomes and the leaves have different green to yellow tones with bits of occasional purple. Overall I'm happy with the strain and I'm looking forward to the harvest.
Nice grow mate, Auto don't respond well to stress. LST is perfect for autos topping causes to much stress and can stunt them. I have planted a gelato auto myself it was a free seed so I'm keen to see how mine will go. Thank you for sharing your grow
@Godfather_Farmer_and_Friends, yeah I was aware of the risk of stunting growth decided to try any way. Not sure if it affected the harvest negatively or not did learn i don't care much for autos during this grow maybe in a sog set up but other than that there were many factors involving the autos I grew that were lacking in comparison to photo plants
