2x Sweet Gelatto Auto (SweetSeeds)

Thank you SweetSeeds for making your genetics available for us growers. I have big hopes for this grow and will be doing daily updates all throughout the grow. Visit Sweetseeds and get yourself this great genetics for yourself, these are powerfull and will be worth your time. ______________________________________________ 5th generation autoflowering strain. Autoflowering version of one of the most powerful and famous American lines, coming from the San Francisco Bay (California): Gelato (Sunset Sherbet x Girl Scout Cookies “Thin Mint”) is one of the most appreciated exponents of the Cookies family, featuring excellent aroma and high production of THC. In order to introduce the autoflowering genes in Sweet Gelato Auto®️ (SWS76) we used our Killer Kush Auto (SWS56) which was itself developed with OG Kush genetics. The result is an autoflowering genetic featuring sweet and fruity aroma with a strong Kush presence, including earthy and woody tones leaning to dried fruit (hazelnuts) and soft touches of mint and citrus. This plant develops dense buds with high production of big-sized trichomes. ______________________________________________ 16/07 Germinating 3 seeds. 17/07 All seeds set in soil with a covering Cup/Bucket to act as a dome to keep the air moist. Watered. Day 1. 18/07 SG3 peeking thru the soil tomorrow will be out for sure, SG2 is showing some soil movement so i assume it will be out tomorrow aswell, no sign of SG1 yet, maybe lazy, maybe too powerfull for this world and decided to give its siblings some advantage. 19/07 All SG's are out of the soil and ready for this lifetime with me, well, at least their lifetime. 🙄 The domes are not all equal in the grow room, so some are drying faster than others, gotta taka care of that, i'il leave that for the tomorrow version of myself. 20/07 Today's version of me is also passing the job of fixing the domes to the tomorrow version, bad luck for him. Gave 70ml water to all + 15ml solution to SG1 and 10ml solution to SG2 and SG3. 23/07 Gave 275ml water to all + 25ml solution to all.

25/07 They are getting to the third node coming up so i'm thinking if should i top it or not since without topping height might turn into an issue but with topping lateral space might be the issue. 26/07 All given 333 ml water + 20 ml nutrient solution. 27/07 They are drinking way more water, am gonna have to reduce watering intervals. Switched SG1 into SG2 spot to try and promote more growth. 28/07 Paper towel placed on top of the soil with a hole in the middle to make the water go into the middle straight down and thru the sides making the mostly wet on the bottom and the sides of the pot, lets see if the roots will move towards the wettest spots. All given 420 ml water with traces of nutrients, those being 0.42ml/l of "more roots"; 0.4ml/l of "humic acid plus"; 0.08ml/l of "organic grow". About 30min after watering i removed the paper towels covering the soil and as i did so i found a major population of thrips trying to break free to come out and catch a breath, they are still close to larvae stage but i have ordered some measures to take against this developing society since they are not welcome. I never had this sort of issues and the farming spots in my propriety have no sign of this pest being around, its limited to my grow tent and the timing and stage of growth of these lil guys leads me to belive they came with "CBG New Mix 2.0 soil". Guess who's gonna go back to using his farm's soil.... this guy! 30/07 Update incoming...

01/08 All plants watered with 500ml of nutrient water along with 0.9g/l of ProNeem by Trabe, pieces of yellow traps set on pots near the plants to catch the trips that wish to come out of the soil, once i spotted them coming out about 15 minutes after watering i sprayed the whole grow tent with 2ml/l Neemazal mixed with water and turned on the fan to dry out the plants and avoid light burn from water drops. 06/08 600ml of plain ph'd water given to them, i used to buy 6.3ph 5l containers of water, but now i use tap water that sits outside in the sun for at least 24h and ph it from 7.5 to 6.2. SG1 removed, SG2 becomes SG1 and SG3 becomes SG2, for organization purpouses.

10/08 Second switch for the 50w 3k and 50w 4k turned on adding that extra boost of light. Plants watered with 600ml of nutrient/pest controll mix at doses above + ProNeem dilluted at a rate of 0.95g/l. Plants were also sprayed with a mix of Delta 9 (rate above) + NeemAzal at a rate of 2.5ml/l and a fan was turned on for about 20minutes pointing directly at plants to dry out the leaves before any dropplets caused focus spots and burned leaves. Humidity at a low level while temperature is at a high level difficulting transpiration a lil bit so i turned the fan back off after that. 12/08 Topped SG1 on the 7th node and performing some main stem LST to put all the bud producing branches at the same height and create a C shaped base to allow for a more efficient space ocupation with my limited lateral space. Since they were all lollipoped i expect 12 stems to arrise from this topping.

14/08 Watered 750ml of nutrient solution, a hard feed for a strong veg finish. 10h later i remembered i had a phorphorous deficiency going on and so i supplemented each with 100ml of water with 100mg/l of Big Boom PK 52/34 and 0.105 ml/l of Organic Bloom by Green Buzz. 16/08 There is no way this bought premixed soil could compete with my veggie farm's soil, i realised this by doing a simple comparisson with my 3€ seeds on the Growbarato diary. Solution... got myself a 70liter bag of my farm's soil, made some mixes with this premixed bought soil and set some of this newly mixed soil on top of some plants, more specifically SP3, GC1, SG1 and GG. Then i washed the remaining soil and saved up that nutritive water with diluted soil, the debris i put away, i did now a test run by watering 800ml of this goo onto 4 of 10 plants, depending on results i will apply the others. I have noticed by placing seeds with this new mixed soil on GG and SS that the growth does not compare, even with pots 20x smaller they proceded to grow bigger structures and faster. This gives me hope that at least this 2 plants will at least compensate, aswell as the others from the SoG will actually produce good yields. Slight defoliation of a few from all the plants going on to test out if do the buds really do get fatter as a response to the cutting of healty leaves. Done SupperCropping the SG1, will wait to compare results. 6h later, no signs of burn, color leveling out becomig more healty and bringing the leafs up even tho they still had a wet soil before wich only suggests the "magic mud" was necessary to them at this point, taking this into account i applied it to the remaining plants.

22/08 All given 1.4l of plain water.

28/08 All fed with 1liter of water with the above rates of nutrients + 15mg/l of Big Boom 52/34 PK. Sprayed 3.5ml/l of Delta 9 afterwards. 29/08 So i realized that feeding along with the "mud fix" was not that smart as the mud was already nutritive and with the extra nutes it became too much... so i gave them a 1.4liter wash to the ones in this diary, risking overwatering but trying to fix the fix... all this imbalances coming from 1 bad purchase, i sure did learn my lesson and next grows will all be done with some good soil, pest free and already nutritive. Not trying to pass the blame as i was the one doing the nute mix, il admit that. 04/09 Watered with 700ml plain water.

04/09 Watered with 700ml plain water. 09/09 Watered with 1.4l of plain water, followed by 500ml of nutrient solution as specified above.

Watered with 500ml plain water followed by 500ml of nutrient solution as specified above.
