Hello all๐. I actually have pictures this week, hahaha. These are the photos and update for Gelato OG on Day 9 of Bloom (ya, little off again). The Deets:
The Good:
-Gelato OG has officially come on out of the gate as the most surprising girl in the tent. Love em' all, but Gelato had a hard first go, more so then any other and I had pretty low hopes for her. Flipped to Flower and she's a pig in poop now. Absolutely blew up, budding up and all around health has improved. She's all a sudden loving life and praying all day long. I didn't do a thing different... All her๐
-Starting to bud up already, gaining about .75-1 inch a day, lateral strength and stem improvement, foliar health and markings that had plagued for her since the beginning are pulling back. Hardly see any issues at all anymore. Life, overnight๐
The 'Meh':
-Over-watering, under-watered, missing key moments to prime the soil and carry her to the next day. With automation I don't check them as much so I'm setting my clock for 5pm every night to do a water check before they go into their night cycle, hahaha. Last few days I caught myself and did remember to keep them happy.
Notes of the Week:
-QS and MS have been put under the SF 2000 that has a dimmer. They still have a lot of buffer space at this time, but with this weeks progress I see where they're heading and just planning ahead. Glookies and Gelato OG are now under the non Dimmable 2000 since they're much more stout girls.
-Feeding is still going quite well with all of them and they seem to be dialed in. Not really taking any chances at the moment and just following the schedule. Picked up a little burn with the smaller girls but I backed off a tad and it grew out quickly. Non issue and really happy with Future Harvest right now. Starting to show.
-The amount they've started to eat since the switch was literally overnight and they're taking about 25% more fluid over a 24hr period. I got caught once this week with a little under watering on QS and promptly pissed her off with a little too much to make up for it, hahaha. Gotta watch this for sure as I'm certain it'll only increase from here on out.
-I'm not making any changes to my current medium for awhile, I think. Really happy with BlueSky and just going to normalize with it for a few grows. Took my punches with microbials and organic soil this round, so I'm comfortable using it from here on out and won't be messing around for awhile. Tis best for everyone involved.
-The new 660 W Futur Vet FM8 has come in! but all of these pictures are retroactive and will remain listed as SF until I make the switch or the grow is over. I will be moving at least two of the girls over to see how they do in Bloom under the new system anyways. It won't be a super accurate test (Three weeks into Bloom under SF) but it'll give me an idea and I can see test my limits before next grow๐. Gotta say though, it's frigging sweet๐. When I catch up to Week 2's update I'll post some some of many specs available on it.
At the end of the photos are a new line I picked up from BlueSky Organics. They're out of BC and I bought er' on the Black Friday sale. Next round, one of the tents will be full organic with this line and another called Organics Nutrients out of EU. Going to learn some new things and try to slowly move completely to organic growing for ease and clean(er)/less harsh salt/mineral nutrients. Cheers all and thanks for stopping by today. I think I'll be on GD a tad more for awhile cause other platforms are seriously restricting and hurting the Cannabis Community. Getting frustrating and at least here I know I would be taken down, effed over or banned for nothing... Sooooo, I'll definitely be keeping up with all of you much better. A step back actually sounds nice๐บ(didn't know there was a cat emoji, haha. Sweet). Peace and Merry Holiday-Christmas-Nothing? Whatever floats your boat! Be merry and enjoy your fruits. Much love and happy trails๐โ
Wow! Such an amazing job already ๐ and a special thanks to my new friend for the shout out! I'm glad we could turn that frown upside down @Exotic_Seed ๐ฏ good luck with grow! ๐
@JinksyGrows, shipping nuts right now. Xmas is coming up and I think I broke the top of my mailbox checking every 5 minutes ๐คค mine just came Friday so yours should not be to far behind ๐ super excited to be growing with the community ๐ฏ
Looking very happy healthy and strong. Very well organized looking and shaped. Keep up the amazing progress. Good luck stay safe happy growing cheers!!!!!
Congrats on the affiliate team membership (not sure how this works but I think it means you're sponsored now,) awesome! Congrats on the new light, too! Looking forward to the posts on it!
@SymphonicBudz, Howdy! Thanks a tonne my friend๐. Lamp came in yesterday and running initial tests. It is a sponsorship and one I was after for a loooong time๐ . Something I believe in and Canadian made๐ช. Will post pictures next retroactive update.
@Buddha2, I do have a couple clip on fans with one over each driver. But I feel it's the new room I'm in. Much smaller and heat builds/insulates quickly. Might need an AC unit when I commission the second unit.... Its gonna get pretty warm in ther ๐ .
@Med_in_Tropic, It does and that's gotta be the difference. UVA and deep/far red that we can only see through lenses. The high frequency penetration is closer to sun light than the SF's. If I throw UVB in, my pets are set for life๐ . Oh, and the plants too I guess, lol!
@JinksyGrows, does the set up has invisible spectrum in it?
My black dog does like sun bathing and its not for the warmth. Some dog beauty secret I think.
@Med_in_Tropic, Haha, it was a surprise because the dog never, ever comes downstairs. Now he just hangs around the room waiting to get in๐. I trust they know far better than me when it comes to the lamps quality. Animal validation๐
heloo... I dont think its your fault not to log off the site... everytime i try to log off... there is a error message.. says.. unable to do this...

@Mrs_Larimar, Hahaha. I feel better now๐ ๐ . I still haven't learned. I was logged in for 4 days this week without knowing, lol. Ladies are ๐๐ช for sure. Thanks you Mrs. L๐
