I placed 1 Gelato seed in a cup of declorinated tap water and covered it over for 8hrs. Took a quick peek and I could see it had popped. She was then placed on a wet paper towel sandwiched together and covered for overnight. In the morning 10hrs later, she was planted 1/4' down under Promix HP tail down and seed pointing up. I used a 7 gal fabric pot inside a milk crate. The seed was watered in with 1/8th tsp of Recharge mixed in 1 liter. I used about 500mil directly on the seed. Covered with a humidity dome until she pops up💕 Germinating 2 more strains tomorrow ❤️💕 Thanks for reading and following along. Have the best day ☮️ ❤️

Wow she bolted up super fast overnight. Awesome, its go time. Day 1 💕 50mils of water, then 50mils of Recharge, 1/2tsp/gal rate. Thanks for reading and thank you for following along 💕 Day 3- she is doing amazing, Today I gave her 2 cups of Ph'd declorinated tap water and another 2 cups around the outside for adding humidity to the pot. I moved her 25" away from my tsw2000, that is a bit close but she was stretching for more light. Day-4 She is standing tall. A nice steady breeze on her will give her the strength in her legs to hold up the fat buds that are coming💕 -Watered with 2 cups of dc ph'd tap water today and another 3 cups around the parameter of the pot to help moisture and to raise the humidity. Maybe another 2 more days and I will add in a little bit of Mega Crop and Kelp. Everything seems completely on track where she should be. Lots of action coming up💕 Day 6, Mrs Gelato 💙 You can tell she is happy🙏. Really digging the reggae 24/7. Today I mixed 0.45g of Mega Crop in 1 ltr of DC tap water. Ph"d to 6.5 then added 1/8 tsp of Recharge. 👉Ppm was 420 how perfect can that be💕 Fed 1 full ltr, 2 cups heavy in the center, then 2 more around her. Major hst party coming up shortly ✂️🌱 Thank you for reading and following along ❤️ Have the best day ☮️ ❤️

Gelato is killing it. Zkittlez is killed... not really but. Day 16 all is very good, training and more topping this week. Today, Megacrop, cal/mag, sweet candy ph'd to 6.5 600ppm 1/2 gal Temps are steady at 23 rh51 🎵48hrs of NIN is winding up later this afternoon & The Zeppelin anthology is cued up for the next💕 Hopefully this will help the Zkittlez along with her wounds. Day 18, I topped her again yesterday and you wouldn't know it. She is on track growing and right where I think she should be. Not like her sister zkittlez...... Now lots of training for her. Day 22, She is growing really nice today. My plan with her is right on track where I think she should be💕 I believe she can fill the entire pot before she starts flowering. 🤞 Thanks for reading and following along 💕 Have a super day ☮️ ❤️

Day 23, I can't hold her down, just like Forrest when he ran out of his leg braces. I removed 4 big fans, she can handle it. It's a comfortable 26c and rh between 45-65. I have 1 tsw2000 going right now, no need for the tsl at this point. The extra room moving up from my 3x3 to a this 5x4 is unreal. Best move ever. This girl is going to get a ton of training and so much 💘 Day 27 on 🔥 wow Ist for breakfast everyday now. Big reaction to the last feeding of 1 gallon of 716ppm 3.50g Megacrop .40g Sea-k 1g sweet candy 3ml cal/mag All mixed in 1 gallon of dc tap water. After ph'd to 6.4 Should be good for 4 days or until the pot feels light. I think thats it for the topping. Im just going to train out this plant vertical as I typically do as far as I can then let her grow horizontally. 16 -21 coka colas is and was the plan 👍 No leafs shall touch the soil lol, lots of wire keeping them up and lots of air oscillating around 💕 Sabbath Sunday's ya 😎🎵 Day 28, the ocd kicked in again ffs and I topped everything again for the 4th time. Ive never done 4 so Im interested to see what happens. She is going to be a beauty I can tell and is looking to be on par with my last BlueDream which was absolutely incredible.. Fingers crossed 🤞 🤞 Day 30 - She is in beast mode right now, I fed her a gallon + 1 ltr last night and just a drop came out the bottom. Her foundation is built💕 Thanks for reading and following along. Have a super day ☮️ ❤️

Day 31, On fire! She has filled out my 7 gal pot no problemo and still in veg No doubt she will be the monsta in the house. Topped 4 times. Feeding 725ppm megacrop every 4 days or when the pot feels light. Off to work... Day 32 on course for greatness... My 7gal pot is overflowing never like this before. Double digits🤞🤞 Day 34 I had my first gag with nice watering eyes at 5am this morning when I opened the tent lol holy... She's smelling weird now. I have a 20 gal empty bucket at all times ready in the tent now ready. Seriously. No accidents eh at this stage of the game. Major defoliation and lst yesterday. She's bounced back beautifully. I see a few pre flowers so that good. All the major training and work is done and everyone's in there place... Overcrowded with 30+ tops ready to rise together... a few,, well a bunch will be selected and plucked out to make room. Thanks for reading and following along Have a super weekend ☮️❤️

Day 35 Mrs Gelato is flowering.. 9 weeks to go.. oh my.... The count down is on. She is going to be big and beautiful💕 Been topped 4 times and lst everyday. Nothing but the best for my girls. I pushed 2 gallons through her yesterday to try to avoid any nute build up... all is good. I will be flood feeding her from now on with 20% excess is the plan. Day 36, she is growing well into the other pots lol. Looking back at all my other photos of plants and cross referencing day 36 with this gelato, nothing is as big as this one💕 I hope she continues this pace and pumps out over 10oz🙏🙏 That is a tricky number to hit keeping plants very small like I do, but I think if there is a plant capable of making it this is the one🤞🤞 Day 39 Another big defoliation this morning. I have to keep on her big time right now. Wow is she stacking up quick. That 4th topping was so lucky to get it in before she flipped.. More importantly, I have the space to grow her as big as she wants now❤️ My 3x3 and 2x4 were so jammed.. This new 5x4 is the SHIT. Space, fans, chair, lights, I really hope she continues on at this pace and grand slams it🤞 🙏🤞 Thanks for reading and following along 💕 Have a super day ☮️ ❤️

Day 42. Day 8 of flower. Taking detailed notes of every plant.. I rely on them every single day🙏 No way this would be her without them. Feeding 2 gal every 4 days now with about 1.5ltrs of runoff 👌 I move the plants around leaf tucking, adjusting stuff, always checking the weight. That tells me when to feed. I feed every time... 10g Megacrop .80g Sea-k 2g Sweet Candy 8ml Calimagic 16m Resin Fed 2 gal of 790ppm ph 6.1 Tsw2000/ 24/7 & Q107🎵 She has been topped 4 times so far. Definitely a few too many bud sites but that cool, I defoliate, clip, cut, tuck, make the best room I can. This is my hobby and passion, I really enjoy pruning my plants. Its not everyone's cup of tea... Its my own ocd style of growing my plants. I hope you enjoy. Day 44 Looking outstanding after yesterday's major defoliation and lst session. Loving life...🙏 Day 46 Im laughing at this thing grow. Its big, about 30 good bud sites stacking up nicely. Im really going to try my best to keep them all and grow this out as big as I can now that I have more space than my 3x3. 🙏awesome. Thanks for reading and following along 💕 Have a super day☮️❤️

Day 50 🤯🤯 Day 16 of flower, A mild defoliation last night, you would never know. This plant is getting huge🖐️🖐️ Day 52 She is praying 24/7.. Absolutely loving her conditions🎵💕 There is a ton of great bud sites stacking up nicely. The next defoliation a few (secondary)sites will have to go to make room for the premium bud site. My goal is to have big chunky buds.. Some of the leaves are ripped, beaten, torn, nute fried, wind burned, twisted 360, been defoliated countless times... ... not a flinch in production or anything. This Gelato is insane, what a beast woman. I understand the hype now. 🍅The notes I have taken for this plant are triplicated and stashed... Day 55 / Day 21 of flower Just doing her thing... Still 2+ gal every 2 days, I think that will change soon to daily 👌 My last feed was 1100 & 6.3 in & 2110ppm out & 5.4ph with zero signs of deficiencies other than wind burn. So I will just carry on what Im doing monitoring the plant🙏 She's huge, and I see frost strarting for the first time today❤️ Another big defoliation coming up. I will post photos and the video on my YouTube channel 🍅Canamatoes Grow & Dream of Weed🔥 Thanks for reading and following along, if you enjoyed anything please like and leave me a comment 🙏 Have the best day☮️❤️

Day 57 week 3 of flower.. She's an amazing plant to grow, very similar to the Bluedreamatic. I could grow them forever. They take to my style of growing perfectly. The buds look wicked, stacking up like I wished for🙏 I hope I have left enough space for them all to swell up huge 🤞🤩🤞 My last feed I swapped out Sweet Candy for Bud Explosion. I think its more for Hydro but I know its fine and this stuff is amazing I must say. 💥2 gal in 1100 ppm in 6.4 Megacrop, Bud Explosion, Sea-k, Rezin & Calimagic 💥1.75ltr Out.... 1550ppm 5.5ph Full Feeding every 2 days She looks happy, really happy. You can tell when they aren't. 🙏🤞 Some frost covering the leaves now, I have no idea about that Rezin if it makes a difference at all. Who knows, Day 60 She is on fire🔥 if I could build them all just like this one, Cana would be a happy guy. Its perfect 👌 I can only water/feed it from one now spot because she is tied off all around the parameter of the crate. I do this to create more space inside the 2nd & 3rd row of colas, it works amazing. Day 62, Im getting more tip burn, Yesterday's feed was 850ppm's, down from the last 2 of over 1000ppm She is 28"x28" on top, that means she wouldn't fit in my 2x4... thats a first for me and autoflowers, she is must be flexing or something, I will check back later💪 I also noticed some of the size of the buds are sooo big right now its kinda weird 🧐 and there are a bunch in the center that are just getting going. Im really shocked and super impressed with this one its a wow plant 💕 The smell off her is exactly like oranges 🍊and its strong!! I am praying I can get her to the finsh line 🙏 were on day 28 of flower, week 5 of a 9 week flowering cycle.... I remember I guessed she looked like she had the potential to hit 10+oz dried.. its lookin good🙏🙏, but I've crapped the bed before so whatever it is it is👌👌 Day 63, Im cursing when I look at her now, she is swelling up so fast its amazing. Im definitely paying attention to the finsh line approaching... Most of my plants even with my training still finsh up on day 84-89, so 20+ days left❤️ I will do another minor defoliation on her maybe today or tomorrow, its getting tricky to get my hands in there so this maybe the last one🤞 I appreciate all the nice comments from all of you. happy holidays 🎄☮️❤️ Thanks for reading and following along 💕 If you enjoyed anything please leave me a comment and say Hi☮️❤️

Day 65 already wow. Time fly's by when your having a ball they say and its true. She is getting knocked around quite a bit moving her around. Torn, ripped wind burned and baked.. some parts of her aren't so perfect anymore but thats ok. The buds look incredible. Stacked up and fat. Frost all over the leaves now and the smell... fruity orange.. touch anywhere on the plant and the smell is just wicked. I can't wait to smoke this. The count down is on and I will be paying extra attention when feeding in the next few weeks when to stop and start my flush. 2.5 gal 1000ppm of Megacrop, Sweet Candy, Resin, Massive Bloom & Calimagic every 2 days. The Runoff was 1150, 1220, 1265, the last was 1320ppm Creeping up.. She is eating less every feed now. Day 70 She is getting ph'd water from here on. Swelling up like holy jeeze. So dence and full all the colas. The only complaint is how far down she sunk in the pot. Theee hardest plant to maintain. I mean watering, clean up after a trim, keeping branches out of water, air flow down below, it goes on... of any plant I've ever grown. 🙏 Were almost there🙏 Yes branches are underwater every feed, lots of clippings I can't get at and out. I think 14-21 days and thats it. Thanks for reading and following along, leave me a comment if there is something you like ☮️❤️ Happy holidays to you all Have the best day ☮️ ❤️

Day 73 Fastbuds Gelato is an incredible plant that Im so glad I chose to grow. A wicked fruity peppery something I can smell. Im mean reeks, whole basement stink and the wife is pissed. Covered nicely in frost all over those swollen buds and some really nice colors coming out in them too. Flushing now with 3 gal of water every 2 days and I think its 12 or so days left to chop but I could be wrong🤞 Day 73 flushed with 15gal of tap water today. The last gal going in was ph'd to 6.4. The finsh line is not too far away. For sure another 8+ days 🙏👌🤞 Oh man is she swelling up! Day 78, I moved her to the garage in my 3x3 where its 13c and 50rh for the last weeks of her life Thanks for reading and following along 💕 Leave me a comment if you like something Have the best day🙏☮️❤️

Day 80 ! Wow it doesn't seem it thats for sure. Days and weeks are ripping by. This big girl is finishing up nicely with a week or so left I think. Just ph'd water for now 6.5 and giving her about a gallon every 4 days... I will check the trichomes and post some photos as we get closer to the day. I forgot to add, she has been outside in my garage for the last 2 days in my 3x3. Its 13c out there. The plan is to bring out the colors on her and make room for the next group. Approaching the plant I see a glistening out of the corner of my eye. A drop, the plant is leaking lol. Its sweet holy sheeeit. I have seen it in pictures but not in person. Very cool!!!! I look for more. Day 83 The dripping frost queen is sleeping now in her 2x4 for a couple of days in darkness. Who knows.. been doing it this way from the day I started growing and its hard to change what seems to work.. She is so frosty now its crazy... and the drip is back again, Ive licked it 3 times.. 😛 still dripping today. This is one awesome special plant I must say. It smells so good. 💥💥I need a rosin press. What do you guys recommend? I have so much delicious flower to press Day 2 of drying so far is perfect in my 2x4 drying tent. Temperature is between 15c-19 and RH is 58%-63 A 10-12 day slow dry should be no problem. Over the next week I will slowly remove some of the fan leaves that still remain. They are helping to slow down the drying. I have a bucket of water with a towel sitting in it, wicking out releasing moisture. A window fan is blowing on it full rip creating lots of wind and air down below swirling up to the drying buds above. Thats the plan until they are ready for the curing bucket.

Over the last 12 weeks I have described this Gelato as Beast woman, terrifying, mommalusha, godzilla amongst other's. She was so cool to grow🙏 If she didn't sink way down in the pot she could have been quite bigger. Many outer branches were damaged, broken and repaired, tons of roots were exposed during every feeding.. So much could have gone south. She is a tough tough plant that super impressed me. The buds are huge, dence and so covered in sticky frost! I know this will KICK ASS I will follow up with some more updates shortly. A tadd over dried to 54% but rehydrating up nicely now to 62% and sitting in curing buckets for the next few months. Wow the smell that is wofts out of the buckets is overwhelming. I burp the buckets twice a day and the garage ranks for an hour after easily. The buds are so greasy & sticky its stupid, I now understand why people love Gelato for pressing for concentrates. I did manage to roll a joint, It was tricky because it is so sticky. Amazing smooth flavor of cookie dough and citrus something. I suck at describing these tastes. But it tastes amazing for only a week of drying and I can't wait to taste it in a few months of curing. It will no doubt ruin the weak when it comes to the high. It hits you right away hard👍👍 One good haul on a J, bam, your high. Take 3 tokes, your really high. The flavor on your tongue and in your mouth is so on point. I can't bump the Blackberry off the throne yet as my all time fave.. but this might be the one. After at least a month of a cure, I will post back here with my verdict. So, my final thought for today on this Gelato.. I gave her a boot camp that alot of plants don't survive and she never flinched or missed a beat. She is one tough cookie! I most definitely will be growing another Gelato you can guarantee. See you here in a month! Thank you all for reading and commenting and following me. You all are so nice🙏 Have the best day ❤️☮️ Cana
