This was a bonus seed from Barney's Farm, which came with my auto-flowering seeds. I thought: might as well plant this too! The autoflowers together with Blue Gelato was my first grow. It had a rough start, going much slower than the autoflowers in the seedling stage. In the first few months, I did not pay much attention to this one, as the focus was on the autoflowers. So it suffered a bit from nutrient deficiencies. After some feeding, she came back to life. The last month was wet and cold, and I had to check for botrytis every day. I even bought a small tent to protect her from the rain. In the end, she did get a little rot, and that was when I decided to harvest. Even though the buds were not fully matured yet.
I am very happy with the end result, though it is not much weight for such a long grow. Quality over quantity I guess! The buds are much denser and stickier than the autoflowers. The smoke is energizing and gives me good laughs! Makes for a decent day smoke too.
