Today is day 16 since coming out of the ground. I have to say I am surprised by the tempo of the growth. In my previous grow of these strains it took much longer. I attribute this to the Bilberry Lamp. It is going on 50% of its power but you can see just how well they are growing. If they continue to go in this tempo I might shorten the veg period by a week or so. I have fed them for the first time this week. I gave them 1ml of BAC Organic Grow and minimal doses of Root Stimulator and CalMag. Normally I would not do this, I would just give them the root stimulator but I know these strains like to “eat” a lot when they develop so I prefer to give them something to avoid a deficit in the future. Pheno one is going great, looks perfect and just like the previous Gelato I did from Humboldt Sherbinskis line. Pheno two has show another small mutation. You can see that one blade on the second fan leaf is a little deformed. However the development rate of the plant is fantastic, it is slightly better than Pheno one but Pheno one shows no mutations. I STILL have NOT decided wich one of the two I will leave for flowering. As I wrote before I don't like leaving things up to chance and I always do at least a small selection. Great thanks to Bilberry for providing a HIGH QUALITY lamp! Hope they continue to grow great. Fingers Crossed.

On the 5th week of flowering day 1 the girls are chugging along, growing bigger by the day and smelling excellent :). On day 5 the girls are putting on a lot of weight. I'm very excited about harvest:). On day 7 The girls are doing well. I had a small clog in my bluat system on one of my carrots. I have fixed the clog by massaging the small pipe that was clogged. it has been tough using powdered nutrients with this system as there has been a few clogs. I will be switching to water soluble nutrients with drip clean to keep lines clear on my next grow. I just need to make it through the next few weeks to harvest :)

did some very minor defoliation on the senecas, both confirmed females. the afghan is the only male exactly what i wanted. got a super funky smell, definitely some skunky, hashy almost notes. almost like grinder hash smell. tight node spacing id say for such a small male, nice cluster of sacs on the top and on the bottom of the first node. turkish doing well too, nice fruity/dank/hashy smell too. i can see why they were cultivated for charas.

So far, so good. The Dr amazingly grows similar sized buds above the light level as she grows buds behind the lights. Buds are small in general. I fertigate her once a day, 0.4 g/L of the base fertilizer. Inflow conc is 550 ppm (ca,. 1100 uS/cm), and I think I may be slightly underfertilizing. I plan to raise the concentration 150 ppm within two weeks and see if she tolerates that amount. What's fantastic in these long flowering strains, that it seems one has all the time in the world to plan and make changes, in the end, there's so much time to recuperate in case of an inconvenience! Day 107 (29-12) It consoles me that even the infortunate grow disadventures of mine with this "stretchy sativa" I think the journey will turn out successful. Let's some in April! (perhaps somewhat earlier, I dunno) If not for yields, which I reckon thwy may not be as large as I wanted (if for big yield was the original intention of growing this strain I wouldn't grow this one specially -which is know not ot be a big yielder, it was the desire of the experience of growing this noble and beautiful landrace (heirloom) sativa. by myslef...and I have 4 more seeds ;) I raised EC with 0.5 g/L Bloom fertilizer per liter solution, keeping all the other ingredients constant, in concentration and order of mixing. Every day I have the extra work of inspecting the colas to see whether they are being damaged by heat and eventually apart them from the cobs, etc., but in general, I thank God this could have been even much worse. Luckily she resists both the high indoor temperatures (31 ºC by this date, when outside temperatures are of that order), and pro-silicate additive may have been useful to resist heat, as Grotek claims.

Hey farmers, loads of growth this week, still no signs of flower, which is good! My plant is getting quite big, I'm considering lollipopping her, I might take off some lower growth once I see signs of flower, just to make sure I have nice firm buds and not a bush of larfy buds, I know the general rule of thumb with Autoflowers is to not cut anything off, we'll see how it goes. There was a heatwave in europe, as a result this plant got a little hot, and I had to supplement ice and insulate the bucket. She made it through 40 degree weather just fine, however. Later In this weeks timelapse my camera fell down, when picking it up i noticed the lens was covered in trichomes from my last grow, I cleaned it so next weeks timelapse should be less blurry, lol.

The bud are dense and covered in trichomes. Very tasteful in vape (Utilian 722). It taste like creamy berry. The buzz start with a head rush to finish with a body buzz. Sometimes the head rush is a bit to much. I don't know if it's because of this pheno or the genetic or due to a bad flush. Overall I'm very satisfied with my first harvest and I will keep the Glue Gelato to smoke it.

SUMMARY: The OG has grown so much these last couple of weeks and now towers over the Amnesia like a giant. It is really starting to flower now too which is good because looking at how slowly the Amnesia is growing over the last 2 weeks I really can't see me getting the 1.5-2oz yield I was hoping for come harvest. Both plants doing fine and coming along ok. OG now drinking 5L every 48hrs and the Amnesia drinking 3.5L (though I'm still giving 4L). I switched up to the GWE updated mid bloom nutes for the OG towards the end of the week and continued with the Sensi Garden peak flowering nutes for the Amnesia this week. I continued with some light defoliation this week removing the odd lower leaf and some fan leaves covering bud sites that I couldn't tuck. DAY 72 -------- Friday 13/11/2020 I fed the plants, updated GWE early bloom nutes for OG and sensi garden peak flower nutes for Amnesia. OG (in) = 5L pH 6.5 OG (out) = 1.3L (26%) pH 5.6 [0.9 drop] Amnesia (in) = 4L pH 6.5 Amnesia (out) = 1.5L (38%) pH 5.7 [0.8 drop] The OG is really starting to flower now especially at the top where it is very close to the light. I'll be very surprised if it doesn't suffer light burn but nothing I can do as the light is as high as it can go. The pH of the medium is slowly rising for both and both plants are looking healthy with no leaves dying off or yellowing. I bought a USB microscope and checked the trichs out, all clear from what I can see which is great because I really want to push this for another 4 weeks if possible (15 weeks total) to give the OG a chance to bloom. I like a good couch lock so providing I can keep the plants alive and keep the humidity low enough to avoid bud rot I think it might just be possible. DAY 74 -------- Sunday 15/11/2020 I fed both plants, GWE updated schedule Mid-Blom nutes for the OG and some more Sensi Garden Peak Flower nutes for the Amnesia. The humidity has been steady at around 48-55% the last few days which is odd as we have had a lot of wet weather. I have removed around 15-20 leaves (total - only 2-4 removed from Amnesia) from both plants over the last week so perhaps that has helped with reducing the humidity a little as it usually sits around 60-65%. OG (in) = 5L pH 6.5 OG (out) = 1.25L (25%) pH 5.5 [1.0 drop] Amnesia (in) = 4L pH 6.5 Amnesia (out) = 1.5L (38%) pH 5.8 [0.7 drop] DAY 75 -------- Monday 16/11/2020 I mixed 5L of GWE updated schedule mid-bloom nutes for the OG and 4L of Sensi Garden peak flower nutes for the Amnesia. Both made with rainwater both pH'd to 6.4. I am feeling concerned about the runoff pH still not rising to 6.0 yet, perhaps I'm being impatient but it has been 16 days since I started giving strictly 6.5 (01/11/2020) and I know that the plants need the pH to vary within range in order to be able to uptake all available nutrients. Whilst the pH may be in range I believe certain nutrients cannot be absorbed at a pH of 6.5 and I want to get back to being comfortable feeding the plants between 5.8 and 6.2 (a reported "sweet spot" I've read from numerous sources online). As it has been over 2 weeks of strictly 6.5 I am going to try and slowly lower by 0.1 each feed and see how they respond. In any case, both plants look healthy and are growing and flowering and not showing any signs of issues. DAY 76 -------- Tuesday 17/11/2020 I gave the plants some pH'd rainwater. I intended to give them both water at 6.5 however I didn't have time and so the Amnesia water was pH'd to 6.4. I also did some more light defoliation removing 5-6 leaves from the OG and 2-3 leaves from the Amnesia, again just to allow more light to lower bud sites. The RH has been between 48-55% the last few days but is at 60% today. The plants both look healthy with no yellowing leaves or nute burn (perhaps the tiniest bits on the odd leaves of the amnesia). OG (in) = 5L pH 6.5 OG (out) = 1.15L (23%) pH 5.4 [1.1 drop] Amnesia (in) = 4L pH 6.4 Amnesia (out) = 1.55L (39%) pH 5.8 [0.6 drop] Looking at how slowly the Amnesia is growing over the last 2 weeks I really can't see me getting the 1.5-2oz yield I was hoping for come harvest.

This week they are all booming after continuous LST. The calmag issues went away after staying at 0.4 ec for a while. All new growth is looking good. Starting adding Cannazym to get rid of any dead roots that have been formed around the edges now. The time-lapse for this week is only for the last few days as I had some technical difficulties. Still feeding at around 0.7 ec total. Also added more fans this week to circulate the air better. Three run every 30 minutes for 3 minutes to blow out 100% of the dead air from the canopy. Another fan is blowing continuously. They start to increasingly smell now. Very strong yet subtle right now. Oh and in case anyone noticed: One of them was a mutant (very weirdly placed growing nodes and other unusual behaviour) so I had to throw her pre-emptively. The rest of the girls look ready to for the ride though!

Day 1 – Germination (Water Glass Method) Today I started germinating my Gelato K seeds using the water glass method. The seeds are soaking in room temperature water for 12-24 hours, giving them a good start. Waiting for them to crack open and show the first signs of life! I'll keep you posted on the progress. 🌱💧 Day 2 – Into the Soil (No Germination Yet) Even though the seeds haven't germinated yet in the water, I decided to go ahead and plant them directly into the soil. I’ve placed the seeds about 1 cm deep and added a sprinkle of mycorrhizal fungi to help encourage root development once they sprout. Now, I’m making sure the soil stays moist and hoping the seeds will break through soon. Let's see what happens over the next few days! 🌱🌍 Day 4 – First Leaves Unfolding Exciting progress! 🌱 Yesterday, on Day 3, the seedling finally broke through the soil and made its appearance. Today, on Day 4, the first tiny leaves (cotyledons) have fully formed. It’s a great sign that the plant is establishing itself and is ready to begin photosynthesis. The soil is staying moist, and I’m keeping the light at a good distance to encourage steady growth. Looking forward to seeing those first true leaves pop up in the coming days!

11/24 - Will be Adding Silica and CalMag to watering, 550-600ppm - Lighting Average 625ppfd 11/25 - Drip system in-place and usable. Waiting on my new AC Infinity 8-port controller, then I'll be throwing the pump on a controlled outlet. Figured out flow rate per minute, so I'm hoping I can schedule it to run once daily and essentially auto deliver a specific amount of water. Changed filter sock, there was a bit of residual perlite dust from when I added the top layer to the pots.

Week was a bit more of a pain than some.of my other grows. Working on getting the sprout to stretch a little. Also feeding some PH water while adding a bit of additional dirt to fill void around sprout.

Blue Zushi - Dutch Passion Day 74 - Watered with 3 litres of RO tap water, with defined nutrients, pH'd to 6.3. She had a massive growth spurt this week and was stretching so fast, I had began plan's to bend her main stem, but thankfully she finished that and is now focusing on developing her bud sites 💪 This week, I removed a few leaves, but other than that, I've just let her do her thing.🙏
