Green Gelato - 1 of 16 strains in my SOG

•••••••••••••••••••••••••• Oct. 5 - Oct.11 •••••••••••••••••••••••••• 🌱 SOWED - 8/9 🕛 STARTED 12/12 CYCLE - 10/10 •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• WEEKLY SUMMARY: •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 🙋‍♀️Fo' Twenny here!🙋‍♀️ Back with another update on our 💚🍧 GREEN GELATO cultivar bred by ROYAL QUEEN SEED! In case you're just joining us, last week we decided to give this photo-dependant Indica/Sativa hybrid (breeder does not specify percentages) cultivar an extended veg period and decided to keep her in the 48"x 24" VIVOSUN veg-tent to grow a little larger before flowering. She has been growing steadily since. This week we transplanted and moved her to the 96" x 48" VIVOSUN flower tent under a 12/12 lighting schedule! Observation: Ever since I upgraded the AC and have been maintaining lower temps, I notice that don't have to water nearly as often. Used to be about every 3 - 4 days, and now, its closer to 5 - 6 days. The White Dutch Clover may also play a factor here. I do mist the top of the pots with 1-2 oz every day to every other day with plain water to keep the White Dutch Clover happy. Any advice, suggestions, or constructive criticisms are always welcome. Now, for the weekly break down! •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• THIS WEEK'S BREAK DOWN •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 10/6 - Day 58 °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° 📸 PHOTOSHOOT! 📸 🚿FEED DAY!🚿 She received approximately 64 oz of solution. I mixed 15 gallons of solution for all the SOG plants. 64 oz of that was then measured and fed to this cultivar. 👩‍🔬NUTRIENT SOLUTION👩‍🔬 ⬇️Mixing Rundown⬇️ The solution starts with 15 gal tap H2O through two kdf filters mixed in a 36 gallon reservoir. The solution is applied via wand sprayer powered by a submersible pump attached to a garden hose. Nutrients and additives are added to the reservoir in the order listed below and thoroughly mixed using a plastic stir spoon. The reservoir is oxygenated by four 4 inch air stones.

I inserted a 3' fiberglass garden stake into the center of the rootball near the main stem of the plant to have as a support during late flower when sone larger buds my fall over. The stake goes to the bottom of the 12" pot. She has a nice solid root ball due to being slightly rootbound. Following transplant, I watered with a light feed solution with pH adjusted to 6.5. 🌼 START OF 12/12 CYCLE 🌼 - I moved her into the 96" x 48" bloom tent under 12/12 lighting schedule. 🚿FEED DAY!🚿 She received approximately 36.5 oz of solution post transplant. I mixed 2 gallons of solution for all seven transplants. 36.5 oz of that was then measured and fed to this cultivar. 👩‍🔬NUTRIENT SOLUTION👩‍🔬 ⬇️Mixing Rundown⬇️ The solution starts with 2 gal tap H2O through two kdf filters mixed in a 2 gallon pump sprayer.

The pump sprayer is typically used in early veg, between feeds, or for lighter feeds. Most feeds are usually run through the pump and reservoir because it's faster and easier when dealing with larger volume feeds. – 2 GALLON LAWN & GARDEN PUMP PRESURE SPRAYER. * I removed the spray head due to clogs and it's just faster. – Superior Pump 91250 Utility Pump, 1/4 HP in a heavy duty 27 gallon Tote attatched to a 10 foot garden hose to an Orbit Underground 56246 Green Thumb 9-Pattern Telescoping Wand. – Aeration of the reservoir is accomplished using a General Hydroponics HGC728040 Dual Diaphragm Air Pump 320 GPH 4 Outlet attached with standard aquarium air hose to four 4-Inch Air Stone Disc Bubble Diffusers. • VEG/AUTOFLOWER LIGHTING: 320w MosterBoard V4-PLUS powered by a MEANWELL 320H-48AB DRIVER.
