During this first couple weeks I had my lights to bright so after sinking them more you’ll see the difference between this week and next week.

This week was way better, I was able to set the lights and get the tent together. Now that the leaves are a little big, I increased the light brightness but not too much and topped one plant and pulled some leaves down on some of the plants. I plan to incorporate some LST but I want these girls to get a little bigger. Also my grow is 100% organic and I only water when necessary. I have time to experiment with my grows so any unnecessary work isn’t needed. Right now I’m focusing more on basics of growing and quality than quantity.

This week has been tough, I was dealing with weird deficiencies I didn’t know until I looked into it but I have a phosphorus deficiency. Hoping next week will look better after adding amendments to the soil and a small watering.

Well this week was better, I evaluated the ph level of the water I was feeding the plants. Instead of 6.3 I bumped it up to 6.5 and it seems that the amendments are finally beginning to show. Also as you can see I for sure have one of my auto flowers forming buds and it looks like there may be one more, but all together a decent week. Also let me know if I could do better as far as documentation goes.

This week has shown the three gorilla glue autos and the other two are gelato. This week has been a step up in progress, the amendments have finally been showing improvements and I continue to defoliate lower bud sites on the autos. As for the gelato plants, I will keep in vegetative state until my other plants from grow #3 are bigger.

So as you can see I now have four flowering which I guess were the autos and I have one gelato that is still vegging and is doing damn good. There are two that have lighter color leaves, I’m trying to focus on on these and see if I can get better production. As for the tall GG in the back, leaves are waxy and have resin production starting. A lot better, overall I’m learning more and more every week! Hope everyone is enjoying my grow and stick around, ask questions. Happy New Year!

Everything is going pretty good, I just bought some elemental from roots organic to help hopefully with necrosis on the leafs. Damn those sugar leaves on that back one are sticky!!! But another good week down, can’t wait for harvest :)

Looking good! Is your grow light pretty well centered? That one plant has a lower branch that’s super stretched, pretty interesting! Good luck!

@Youngbuds1, gotcha.. weird sh** happens all the time for no apparent reason.

@Ezzjaybruh,yeah I noticed the same thing. I rotate the plants everyday so it’s weird that one side is longer than the other

Love your gelato mine are photo periods, but still the gelato is the largest plants I have. I purchased the sweet pack and can't wait until flower myself. A tip if you necrosis symptoms you would truly be better off making a seedling tea for them which will give them cytokines and the very aminoacids they desperately need. You can do this easily by sprouting clean popcorn seeds. Or my technique is using a blend of seeds I have for my birds like sunflower and millet seeds in which I use a tropical bird blend you can find at any grocery or pet store for under 5 bucks. This blend has corn as well as dried vegetables just he sure to remove the dried fruit before sprouting them. Soak the seeds for 24hrs just like cannabis. Then lay out the seeds on a paper towel. Then waiting another 24hrs even if all haven't sprouted tails they have been activated. Then toss them into a blender with a cup of warm water. One handful of seeds is more than enough to make a 2 gallon treatment. As aforementioned the sprouted seeds have cytokinin invaluable amino acids just like that which you will find in amino treatment made by house and Gardens Wichita Falls $174 US. Their process is exactly the same for getting the vital Sido cannons and amino acids found only in seedling sprouts. The seedlings carry these nutrients an amino treatments with them as seeds to provide the plant with everything you will need to grow for its first week of life. House and gardens would strain the liquid through screens as you will see after you blend them. The seeds shells will separate between the top and bottom and the good stuff will rest right In the middle. You can extract it yourself by spooning out the from the top. But it's really safe and actually more beneficial if you just shake and add the whole amount to two gallons of water.

@michael_2r1, yeah my gelato is a photoperiod and to be honest I’ve been a bit lazy with teas. I have never not used one, so I’m trying to do different stuff. But I appreciate the advice!

Hey good luck with these.. the GG are supposed to be beasts of plants but I’ve only grown other strains from ILGM. You look like you’re in great shape so far, don’t stress the small stuff.

When do you plan to put the gelato fem into flower. You know seeing as how your auto flower is already around week 3 of flower. You can go ahead and switch the lights to 12-12 and it won't have any adverse effects on the gorilla glue. Just a suggestion, I myself waited until my plants were 10 weeks from seed before I flipped them. I purchased the sweet mix. Have you grown these strains before and what do you think about ilgm. I really like them. No one else in the business in America that is. Is faster and genuine with their products. Here in the states there are a Ton of breeders, but next to none that sell online or do so without a medical card ect. " red tape bureaucracy " not a issue or topic of discussion here. Your business is not mine and the like is also true here, am I right..? Rhetorical questions. Anyway love the grow and let me know your thoughts.
