Germinated in 2 days. Really healthy start.
Roots were popping out the plug on day 2 after sprout, they were transplanted on day 3 into the hempy buckets. They hold 600ml each. I am growing more strains in this tiny cardboard box, you can check them out too. This one is particularly for gelat.og auto number 2
Day temps 82-88f humidity 60-75 %
Night temps 73-78f humidity usually around 70
They will be slightly slow until they build their root mass. Watered in 300 ppm on day 4 and I know this strain takes nutrients pretty well. Stays happy. I'm seeing a trend with praying leaves when I let the temps build to 88f with the led. Upped ppfd from 180-250 over the week. Reduced light cycle from 24hrs on to 18 hours and maintained about the same DLI.
DLI : 18
Overall a great week.
Will be upping light and ppm this week onwards. Going to hit a 22-25 DLI by the end of week 2 or what do you guys think? Take it easy?
Chasing VPD, have kept them in and out of the green ranges. She has been growing fast. Side branching developed on day 11.
Day 12 they got a 75 ppm foliar spray of a bloom formula with micronutrients and phosphorus and tricantonal.
Day 13 we hit 31 DLI. rest of the week we went from 18 DLI to 24-25 DLI. they seem to be taking it quite well. Nutrient ppm went up from 300 to 380 on day 12.
Temps : 86-88 f humidity : 65-75%
Night temps : 78f humidity : 60%
DLI : 24-25
Overall I'm foreseeing some explosive growth coming up.
Higher temps with higher humidity 100% causing fast growth.
I wasn't here on day 15 & 16 so no pictures, they dried back on day 16. Roots were visible on the edges of the pot by day 14 actually, and growth is damn fast.
Day 17 they got 450 ppm, day 19 i bumped it up to 550 and then finally after realizing that for my environment I may need to push nutrients cause they're having trouble keeping up metabolism with light levels, day 21(today) I gave them around 700 ppm. This should green them up a bit more. I don't mind slight deficiencies, especially when they're pulling nutes from the bottom first leaves.
DLI has been a steady 30-32 but on day 17 I did turn it up to 36. Now 36 DLI is what an established plant would recieve in a greenhouse so I get why they yellowed a bit.
I foliar sprayed them with tricantanol and seaweed (105 ppm totally) on day 18. You can see the effects on the side branching. It is booming in here. Potassium silica foliar on day 20 at 65ppm was given as well.
LST started on day 18 and has been very successful as most all branches are taking! Will keep readjusting every node to get as many branches as possible and then thin out the weak if we have a full house.
Very good week other than the slight nutritional problem. I'm imagining this place should be packed full of tops within 2 weeks.
Thank you and stay tuned.
Some environmental hiccups this week, mainly swings. Temps between 78-90f and humidity 50-78%. Clearly not the best environment but she keeps on pushing. She showed pistils on day 18. I'm guessing she will veg out for atleast another week, preflower stretch will bring the size and stack. I'm sure of it. She did go deficient(not exactly sure what element), regardless I think the magnesium foliar sprays helped. led Causes more nutrient uptake. Especially when pushing photosynthesis, the elements are required to make chlorophyll.
This one is tall and stretchy compared to the others, will probably have a good structure for light to penatrate down into the canopy. She is growing very fast. Smells fantastic.
Day 19 : 550 ppm
Day 20 : silica foliar 65 ppm
Day 21 : 700 ppm
Day 22 : tricantanol foliar spray with phosphorus 152 ppm
Day 23 : seaweed extract foliar 47 ppm
Day 25 : foliar with 100 ppm magnesium sulphate
Day 26 : foliar with 190 ppm magnesium sulphate
Day 27 : 750 ppm
Overall a good week for her, time to take off now.
Stay tuned :)
She went into preflower hard, next weeks onwards- will be flowering weeks. Day 35 she's looking good. Ppms up to 1090. Her roots are all over! White and healthy. I'm excited to see how the flowers fill in. Learnt a lot this week about magnesium and blue spectrums (which my lights have) and mulders chart along with law of minimums. Check this stuff out it is the truth! Anyways thanks for stopping by if you did.
Temps 84-86f
Humidity 65-75%
Ppms 1090 feeding daily with no issues. She can probably take 200- 300 ppms more at max in the peak of flower for atleast 3-4 days.
DLI is steady at 32-34. Adjusting dimmer daily to make sure it doesn't jump up significantly.
Temps 90-92f this week consistently with 80% humidity and they blew up. Ppms at 1090. They were lifted up and trained till day 42. Stacking quite well for such a small plant. DLI was ramped up till day 41 when I started seeing signs of stress. Went from 34 to about 42 over the span of 5 days and trying to alternate the days. On day 42 I connected the carbon filter as it has started to smell a tiny bit. That means humidity from now onwards will be consistently around 60% with my canopy temps around 84. I was not exhausting the air till now, just recirculating it from the top to the bottom using an exhaust pipe which you can see in week1 of my diary. So I guess the explosive growth will slow down a bit now cause of the change in temperature but the terps should starting building up now.
This week was quite stable. 84f 65% humidity. Night temps 80f 60% humidity. DLI started out at 44 then we reduced 2 hours of light so around 39 for the week. So 14 hours from day 43. Ppm went down to 800 from 1090.
She is bulking very hard, sporting the fattest nuggies with a full stack!! Developing every single day they haven't skipped a beat. I guess 3 more weeks at the least! Thank you
She's a strange girl. Seems to me like a very long finishing phenotype. She's fat as hell tho and sugary but she hasn't really started bulking too much. Hopefully in the coming weeks she kicks into full throttle and swells up
She's a longer finishing pheno for sure. Much more foxtail and different bud structure compared to the other gelat.og I have going. She looks like she may even go 3 weeks longer but she is swelling up a little bit. Hopefully she hits the sweet spot before harvest cause the others will be done by next week!
She should've gone at least another 2 weeks imo. Less potent and dense than her sister was. Nevertheless, great smoke. She's been curing for 2 weeks. Smells more fruity and if I open up the jar I have people from around the house know that I'm about to light one up soon. But for sure this was not what I would've wanted cause I prefer finished bud.
