I’m not happy with the way the Green Gelato has turned out again. It spread out fast across the scrog. The last two where also big spreaders. I greedily left a lot of early bud growth on it. But not many of them have really fattened up. I’ve seen much better grows of this strain on other diaries with less, but bigger buds. I don’t have anymore of the GG seeds but maybe that strain just doesn’t suite my compact setup as well. I’m pulling the plants right down.
I’ve just started a new diary (Fruit Salad) with a Fat Banana auto, also from RQS. The last two of these I grew, in the same setup (Stealth Banana) where probably the best two plants I have ever grown IMHO.
The Northern Light in the back is more compact and at about the right stage. No worries.
Dropping to two plants from four was a test of quality over quantity. So far I don’t see a benefit. There won’t be enough of it to last.
My next configuration in this tent will include two crops. Perpetual Pie with two 5 gal and & Fruit Salad with two 1 gal pots). I want less potential colas with bigger buds. So I’ll need to spread with the scrog net, but remove more shoots before they grow too big.
I’ll just start feeding with pure water from now on. A slow flush. No big dump of water. Another switch to find out what the difference is.
You see, I cropped a few grams from each plant to see how they where. Both are young and brighter, but strong enough for week 9. The NL has a couch-lock feeling already, which I am expecting from this strain. But the vape taste before flushing is not nice.
