Hello everyone today week 5 and first of flowering is starting for this Sweet Gelato Auto from Sweet Seeds and this plant is doing very well..
Now stretching the branches towards the light entering flowering stage and the pistills are starting to form...
Training this plant differently than before not touching the main stem just tying the branches and see how it turns out ..
One thing i noticed when training like this its that she grows way faster for the less stress on the main stem..
Increased the nutrients doses of a bit and moved her in the tent with the more powerful 270w Sonlight Hyperled to get the best out of her ..
Soon i will put a scrog net in the tent and this is everything for this week's update my friends thanks for passing by hope you have a great day and wish you all happy growing!!!
Well shit hey.
I fucking despise ruderalis...but that's really efficient. Even the hormonal fuckery effects (sort of excessive lighting, repeated topping) are minimal. Coz there's like minor foxtailing sort of effects...tough shit that, good method for what it is.
Very little nutrient balance issues, other than perhaps slightly excessive nitro sort of effects (imo). I mean, I have no indoor or even auto growing experience, shit I've never even used a pH tester, but i figured just around 6.47 is ideal, though a bit lower in veg, and then raised again at flower. I say that with absolutely no basis to back it up.
You getting stronger/better lights though, right?
@JohnnyBlaze,
Oh sorry, i ain't sober often, make lots of typing mistakes...
"...but i figured just around 6.47 is ideal..."
I meant for germination, and then lowered in veg, and higher again later. Reason being cellular energy and root formation. Like a phasic thing. Phosphorus calcium and shit at sprouting, nitrogen and potassium biased in veg, phosphorus and shit again closer to flower. But hey, pure speculation.
In rooting, plants use a lot of phosphorus, and then again in flowering (coz seeds are why flowers are made).
@JohnnyBlaze,
Oh okay, coz I was just checking the specs in the post and wondering about most obvious limiting factors. Lighting at 150w seemed to be a candidate.
The way I see it, trying to mimic nature (contextually) is a pretty good standard. And afaik, it's around 600-1000w, but with UV (and other material, magnetic effects that people don't consider). But yeah, obviously can scale that down relatively, but trying to maximize spectrum/physical effects (again, contextually, and considering "low hanging fruit") is pretty much the shit.
This grow looks awesome. I’m looking forward to hearing your final yield. I’ve just put a sweet gelato germinating, hopefully it goes as well as yours.
@Seldom_Seen,this strain is one of the best i grew and very soon will make the harvest update! Thanks for passing by my friend and good luck with your grow!!
I hope for strong happy and healthy grows. Keep up the amazing progress and I hope this is gonna be your best ever. Good luck stay safe happy growing cheers!!!!!
