'Gelato OG' by Seedsman

Oof! Last one for the day. This here be Gelato OG that I've been working on. She's in her 4th week but we're going to start at Week 3 and move on from there. Will cover material, set-ups and equipment in Germination or Week 1 when I get around to retroactively updating them. This update will cover GOG for Days 15-22. The Deets!: The Good: -Holy vigorous. She is one of the girls I will need too (and have) done some pre-emptive LST on to control her height and rate of growth. Not a bad thing at all... and really happy to see she's so happy and moving so well. -Dosing Microbials in the new Super soil has done wonders and I picked this tip up from a buddy. Helping the girls take what's available, hopefully gassing the soil of her reserves, and then moving slowly into a feeding schedule. It's going really well and this amended soil is doing wonders. Besides the microbials and a touch of root stim, I haven't had to do anything other then water 6.5 for two weeks (since transplanting). Happy days👍 The 'Meh': -Gelato does have a noticeable mutation and/or marking on her fans that alternate back and forth with each new set... It's weird, really is. One side will be totally unaffected while the other shows. Next set, the opposite side shows and the other has nothing. Hmmmmm😵. I've done thorough checks and nothing is wrong with her, just not too appealing when a new set shows these white marks. And no! not bugs, mold or pathogens. Just a weird, constantly occurring markings that I may be seeing throughout her entire propagation. -She is the fickle one... There's always one. Reacts quite easily to too much light and heat, so I've been pretty careful with her and have kinda tailored the unit to her. The other girls are fine with it, so for now the squeaky wheel gets the grease. But ya, the slightest difference in heat, humidity and light greatly affects her. VPD charts are being followed as best I can to make her happy, and the results are very positive. Notes of the Week: -Right off the bat, good to be back... Nice to have girls in the tent and seeing green everyday. I'll get a new set to my friend in time, fulfilling the agreement, but for now, it's just nice to have them around. -Tent is full automated now, with Inkbird Wi-Fi line and Data Loggers in operation. Really nice not to have to touch anything! Ya, it costs money up front, but it's paying itself off in time I don't have to spend time manually opening and closing flaps, messing with everything, just to try and get some decent numbers, haha. Have cut the intake/outtake and supplementary heater power by 66% aswell, since it's been commissioned👍. No complaints. -It wasn't on purpose, but I somehow fell into organics and it looks like I'll be 100% organics in the coming months. After some early problems, I turned to organic brands and super soils with great success and not sure if I even want to go back now... There is also a starter package of dry amendment, all organic nutrients I landed from a supplier/sponsor from EU that I'm greatly looking forward to using. After a few revelations, it just feels simpler this way. The end game was always to go organic, I just didn't expect to get into it so soon. Neat!😀 -Medicinal license is finally being processed. Got off my butt and did something I should have done the first day of legalization. I really hope to have upwards of three separate projects and units running in the next few months. It's in but who knows when it'll come back... Their window says 3 weeks to 4 months, lol! Thanks guys!😀 -Equipment listings and such will be listed in Week 1 or germination when I get to updating them👍 **Super Special Note** Where's EVA 3? Good question. She's currently hanging in an empty unit, unplugged, and the equivalency project has been postponed indefinitely. I will update any further changes when/if they arrive. Throw me a PM for further enquiries👌 **Another, another! Special Note** After posting about the incident and the falling out with that couple I was growing with (for...) I received a message from @Polaskis (Exotic Seeds) expressing empathy for the loss of my previous girls. Exotic Seeds then generously offered me a test pack and free genetics for the trouble... Should go without saying, but I'm extremely grateful for this and the community right now. Whenever I fall, whether it was my fault or not, I am continually picked up and brushed off by fantastic people. It means a lot and a serious and genuine shoutout to @Exotic_Seed for their generosity That's it! My fingers are tired!😂 Thanks for stopping by and I'm super happy to be back in good company on GD. Much love folks and I'll be catching up with all you very soon, if I haven't already😊. Cheers and happy trails all!👋✊. Keep Cannabis Culture Alive and well!
