get bud or die tryin (1st grow)

Hey all :) week nine started as good as the others, the plants are looking good regardless for the alaskan ,it seems growing way slower than the gelato :( . the gelato is growing more on one side and is kind of blending itself on the bushy side,i am gonna use a rope to keep it straight. next week is planned for starting the flowering but still to see how it goes. Open to suggestion about the alaskan guys !! peace
