Well hello, I didn't see you there๐. I'm a dumbass. Hey all, welcome to Week 3 with Gelato OG covering Days 17-23. The Deets:
The Good:
- Ya, so she's really good these days. She's stacking so well and getting top heavy already. She's shedding trichs at a high rate now and her terpene profile has really, really picked up the pace in the last few days. She is going to be very pungent. Yes๐.
-Cruise control. No burns, no pissy-ness, no nothing this week. This is the first time I can say I feel like she's in a good place and I'm not too paranoid anymore
The 'Meh':
-She does have weaker laterals and this is leading her to be top heavy already. Non issue and bracing has been put into place, but the damage I caused in Veg seems to be coming through right now. Just a tad weaker then she should be in my mind. Meh. I see possible yoyos in her future
-Almost there but tent acclimation is driving me nuts, ha! I changed a lot of things, so that's on me, but it needed to be done and both my units should be optimal to wrap up here in Flower. Then I'll mess around again for next Vegetation๐
Notes of the Week:
-Everyone's doing pretty well right this week and right now. I've past the paranoia stage where I'm extra vigilant about hermies. No balls or nanners going into week 6 soon, so I think we're good๐
-Re-vamping my seedling process again... but honestly it has to be done. It's the one part of growing that I feel I still don't have down at all. I struggle and stunt them almost 100% of the time, losing days here and there. After 2.5-3 Weeks I'm on my way, but this initial process is painful for me. Did a lot of talking (of course) and started grilling multiple people on their methods, specifically people I could see that had amazing expedited growth early on, prepping them for a great Veg. Lots are on IG but @Philindicus answered a bunch of my questions and b/t everyone's input I've found a new method, medium and additive to help out. Canna family provides man, and thank you Phil for giving me your time. Will be following a few of your pointers and get this right๐
-One of two tent's genetics have been picked and I'm going to keep it simple, believe it or not. Will be running x2-3 LemonGrass and x2-3 Mango Sherbet by Humbolt Seed Company. Depending on whether I go 3 or 5 G fabrics, there will be 2 and 2 or 3 and 3. The other unit hasn't been decided yet, but will be moving on lemon and mango in about a week. Rebuilt and re-acclimated the prop tent so it's ready to go again and we can have a much faster turn over. Cutting a week off per grow and hopefully next round will be a full 3 weeks cut off by starting them elsewhere.
-Bought a vaporizer from Arizer... Love it. Not wasting as much product now and still getting the job done without scorching my lungs. I do like cough lock however... and kinda miss it. Strange.
Anywho! Relatively short and Notes of the Week will be copy/pasted between entries as per the usual. Cheers all and I hope you had a great holiday. I don't know about you, but I plan on making 2021 a much better year. I let in too much chaos last year and I'm just tired.... Are you? If so, screw it. I'm going to live my life the best I can and keep all that other shit out. Anyone else with me? Sweet๐. Happy trails and happy grows all! Take care of you and yours and I'll catch you on the other side๐๐
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
