FastBuds Gelato....WOW! What a frost monster! She developed 9 or 10 big cola's that ended up looking like they were left outside on a frosty night! The buds weren't the tight/rock hard ones I prefer, more airy but so sticky and covered in trichomes who could complain? Absolutely fantastic for pressing with 25%+ returns of beautiful pale rosin, Smoking this flower is great for get togethers or just sitting alone listening to your favorite music as it leans towards the heady sativa high that's great for conversations or getting creative!

Nutrients
Works as advertised. Be advised it has a STRONG odor! Also, I would plan on using some form of pest control as, more than likely, you'll have Fungus Gnats 😬 I never had issues with them using straight coco/perlite but noticed them after amending with the NLS. A minor inconvenience as the product does work and the plants love it!
Autoflower Concentrate
Lights
What can I say...after running three SunSystems 315 LEC's with great success in my 4x8 I made the switch to LED's. I did my research, talked to other growers, then decided to go with two HLG's 650R's. I added to each of them HLG's 30w supplemental UV bars which attach directly to the main quantum board...nice clean setup! The thing I liked most about these lights, besides the massive 2.81 umol output, is the fact that you can hang these bad boys a recommended 30"-48" above the canopy depending on stage (I've had them @ 24" during flower and the girls LOVED it!) which is unlike the majority of the other LED's which have much closer recommended hanging heights, which in my mind affects the coverage area. My two 650R's absolutely ROCK my Gorilla 4x8! I wouldn't go back to CMH's or with anything else after seeing the results these powerhouses can provide!😎👍
Tents
Another product that absolutely hits it out of the park! I LOVE my Gorilla 4x8 and only wish I had a 5x9 to go with it so I could run photo's and auto's in separate tents OR use one for a mother to clone and the other for propagation. Gorilla tents are the best made period, with heavy duty components in every high stress area and because of the quality materials they use my 4x8 has over 3 dozen runs through it and still looks great with all the zippers, windows, vents and fabric withstanding the use and abuse without a hitch! I would recommend doing what I did and get the High CFM kit for any of their tents as it (a) prevents the tent from 'sucking in' which cuts down your grow space, and (b) it's great for attaching a Trellis Net to as you can adjust the height you want it at. Definitely a MUST HAVE! GROW STRONG!!! 💪😎
GGT 4x8
She started out on a 19/5 light schedule but was switched to 12/12 at 2 weeks into flower as she was sharing a tent with my photo's which had to be flipped. I'm sure this affected her yield and I'll be running this cultivar again using 19/5 throughout the entire run which I'm sure will increase the end yield. I left her alone and didn't do any topping or LST on her throughout her run until she went into flower. Once flowering I only did minimal LST and let her go. She developed 9 or 10 big cola's that ended up looking like they were left outside on a frosty night! This girl took all the nutrients and light I could throw at her (up to 1800ppm and 1200 umol's) and never skipped a beat! Definitely one I'll run again as she's a fun one to cultivate, fast flowering and some potent ass buds! ended up with 78g of frosty flowers, 18g of 'sugar trim' and 1.5g of 'first bounce' sift...97.5g total, not too shabby! This strain's fantastic for pressing too! I have pressed two batches so far using only the smaller/lighter buds and have got 22-25% yields on both, and the end product is amazing!

@CRiSPrGrow, Thanks so much! 🙏 Not completed yet as I'm in the process of transferring all my grow notes from another of my diaries that for some reason didn't list the Gelato. I jumped ahead to share how pretty she ended up, thanks again! 😎🙌
