Gelato 33 — Harvest Report This week marks the end of a very successful run with Gelato 33. After monitoring the trichomes closely, the plant was taken down at the perfect moment: cloudy trichomes with a touch of amber, signalling peak cannabinoid and terpene expression. ⸻ 🔬 Trichome & Maturity Check • ~80–85% cloudy • ~10–15% amber • Very few clear trichomes Ideal for a strong, balanced hybrid effect without losing freshness. ⸻ 🌿 Bud Characteristics Gelato 33 showed all the classic traits: • Dense medium-size buds • Thick resin coating • Long, orange pistils • Beautiful purple/green tones depending on the cola • Extremely sticky during trimming Aroma exploded during harvest: Sweet, creamy dessert notes + earthy gas. ⸻ ✂️ Harvest Processing • Light wet-trim (fan leaves only) • Whole plant hung upside down for a slow dry • Branch spacing maintained for airflow This ensures maximum terpene preservation. ⸻ 🌬️ Drying Conditions • Temperature: 18–19°C • Humidity: 52–55% • Airflow: indirect, very gentle • Total planned drying time: 10–14 days ⸻ ⚖️ Yield Wet weight from trimming photo: ➡️ 586 g (wet) Final dry weight will be updated after curing. ⸻ General Impression of the Strain Gelato 33 proved to be: • Stable • Highly resinous • Resistant to stress & mold • Strong smell but controllable Definitely a keeper-worthy phenotype.

D92. RH hitting peak conditions 44%. Dehuimifier is working 5hrs a day. Maybe another 15 days to go. Hoping to bring her to whole harvest. This half harvest thing is crap. I just want uniformed bud top-mid-low growth. 7/4/22 Bud is coming on real nicely. I'd say as she is she'll give an oz of frosty as f..k bud. With the addition of the lower led lights I'm hoping she'll finish off. As she's in soil. So half harvest isn't really an option as soil turn around is to long. Once you start a process like a flush you kinda have to follow through with it. So, if there is 10-15% of bud that has no more than 15% of white pistils I'll be happy taking her once I feel she's reached the point where the buds stop expanding and focusing on terps. As she is, she's doing really well, has responded to the hard flush really well. PPM was only 490 so she's still eating. Happy days. Will do the test again next week and if she is at feed ppm level I'll know she's finish eating and I'll throw her into a week or 2 of flawless finish and harvest her. So depending on the flush during the week this might be her last week on nutes. Bout 3 weeks in total left. 2 for the flush and a wk left on nutes. Will keep her dosed on micro enzymes for the rest of wk and 1ml/l during 1st wk of flush. 9/4/22 Finished this girl. Some stigma, (white pistils). Put her on overdrive just for 1 week. She's surprisingly still eating, not much 400ppm only. 1150ppm back, so she's coming to her end, sadly the end, that was full of stigma has kinda finished up, 90% of hairs have turned to Amber. I don't know if this is a good thing, but the sugar leafs are getting so packed down around the larf the sugar leafs have coned in on each other, full of tricks, I mean full of it, trim to keep for sure, all long trichs you can see them even with a scope you can see the top colas are fully cloudy. Few clear ones around the lowest end but they'll cloud up in the dark period. Absolutely stinks of orange zest, the tangerine smell is also coming out, full bodied zesty/crit stinky little bitch. I'd say she'll put out 20-30g dry. I'm really happy with what she's going to give me, I'll for sure am going to be roughly trimming her and letting most of the heavily heavily packed sugar leafs coming out of the bud sites. I'd say around 70% of the bud has finished off. If only last week I'd of taken the tops I could have kicked rhe bottom into feeding and finished her off, as most of that stigma was 90% white. Nearly 70% Amber now probably even 80-90% Amber. Around 20% clear around the end. As you can see in the pics, she's DONE!!!! Flawless Finish her for a week, I only gave her a 800ppm feed of overdrive and cal mag extra about 500ml on top of her weeks feed. I'll hard flush her in 4 days. And give her a week on flawless finish. Then I'm gonna hang dry her in the bathroom RH is 55% 19c temp, will have to take her out in morning for a showers and stuff but it'll be a perfect place. Also the house will be a pleasure to smell for our guests. Not saying its normally not, but the smell is normally burning weed, can't beat the fresh of smelly stinky bud. Going to dry this 1 in the long way....10-14 days hopefully. Shell be given 500ml an hour before harvest to prolong her drying time, increase terps and allow sugars to bring out the true taste of this beauty. Dont mind the rust spots. Its not from any def/tox she is 100% healthy. It was just a case of her getting a mix of overdrive 4 weeks ago when she was on big bud. It caused all these rust spots. I've been taking pics and placing something for scale and have been constantly checking and rechecking leafs and glad to say these are just war wounds from a beginners mistake. 4 weeks ago I was juggling 5 different plants and yeah I messed up and she got a dose of overdrive. 13/4/22 Plant looks very frosty. Stinks of orange zest to me more than tangerines. Has a very sharp citrus snap to her, you know what she is straight away. Something very very fruity, very pungent. Not a secret grow but it that way, nor is the zkittlez if ingcognito is your thing. RH climed into the 50's for the 1st time in 4 days without dehuimifier, thankfully it's not a constant thing to run, fuck me it likes KWH. 1 every 3 hours nearly. That's 10hours of my light on full blast. 100 watt light 10hrs of use =1KWH for those who don't know that. Good to know exactly what you are spending on your grow. Your 1st will always clearly be the most expensive. Like nutes/lights/tents even substrates have more than 1 life. So what it comes down to in the end, is how much a month is it costing your bottom line. If you are like me, and not growing in mammys basement, then watts matter. If you have noticed my PPM was double that nearly for the weeks 1st feed, I also cut out some nutes. I'm still giving high PK I'm just reaching my PPM differently is all. Still in the push during flower. But less, get her hungry to really eat as much as she can, pace her. Thanks for reading! Be sure to drop a like so I can check out your grows! gottagrowsometime

We have hit day 35 and everything's looking great! Only 2 girls out of 8 have started flowering in the past day or two, the remaining six have shown sex and I'm anticipating flowering to begin sometime this week. I gave them a full feeding today. I'm using H&G Coco A+B, which is used from seed to harvest, unlike many other nutrient brands. I will start using H&G Bud-XL in the next few days, luckily I got a bottle before the shops close for Christmas. I didn't expect these autos to get so big so fast, but I'm definitely not complaining. Update day 37 - 26/12/20 I fed the girls their first dose of bud-xl today. 5/8 girls have started to flower now, hopefully, in the next few days the other 3 start up! Update: Day 40 - 29/12/20 6/8 girls are flowering now, the two that aren't are the 2 weird pheno runts.. I've submitted a grow question regarding the 2 weird girls. I'm hoping that they're simply late to flower and not a photoperiod.. I've been feeding the girls 1-2 litres each every day, with a plain PH'd water run every 7-14 days. Update day 41 - 30/12/20 All the girls have started to flower now :D I'm incredibly happy to see them so healthy at this point too I was almost going to put the 2 runts outside but I'm leaving them inside at this point. Thanks for stopping by! Merry Christmas/Happy holidays to all :)

Deepforest auto has sprouted. She is getting acclimated. I am worried I made the solution too strong. I will find out when she finds it. She stretched a lot as I didn't remove her dome as soon as she broke ground. She should strengthen up in the next few day. Thank you Doctor's Choice, Athena, and Spider Farmer. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g.

Hey all, Its been a few weeks so lets take a peak at our Blueberry manifold. Last time we topped our girl down to the 3rd node and removed all other growth except the two growth tip and their fan leaves. Over the past two weeks shes continued to grow an addition four pairs of leaves on each arm. This wee we will cut those branches back to the 3rd node and then clean all other growth from the plant except what remains on the 1st and 3rd node of each side. This should give us 8 main colas that will grow up from these eight remaining growth tips. Continuing to feed as normal while trying to get the soil PH up to a proper level.

Day 60 12/12 buds seem to be slowly fattening up and colas falling over i believe she is a 63 day strain so i am reducing ppm of water each time i feed most likely got another week to go as she doesnt look completely finished as of yet Also thinking whether i should change lights to 11/13???  Like 2   Share

I defoliated and removed 30 or so leaves this week to make sure the flowers get plenty of airflow. I've not given any nutrients this week since it's in miracle grow and I worry about nitrogen toxicity. I upped the light to 100% power and the plant is liking it and rewarding me with faster growth. Hoping to just be 6 or 7 weeks from harvest.

**Encontrarás la traducción a español al final de la descripción** From/Desde: 26/01/19 || To/Hasta: 01/02/19 From day/Desde día: 57 || To day/Hasta día: 63 ----WEEK SUMMARY---- 27/01/19: Video 1 (Homemade CO2 bottle) 29/01/19: Photos 2 to 11 Wonderful crystals over the buds, also these week buds started to be dense. Smell at home it's obvious this week too, not excessive but can't be ignored (smells like heavens). The day 27 i created a CO2 botlle, i can't measure how much the CO2 growed in the room (already ordered a sensor to handmade a wifi CO2 sensor with an arduino), but i suppose it's not too much. I used a 5l bottle with 4l water + 1.600 gr sugar and 4 small packets of yeast (chemical yeast will not work). ----IRRIGATION CALENDAR---- 28/02/19 (Day) I prepared a solution with 3l water and (Silica Power, Fast Food, Auto Stimulator, Bud Candy, Big Bud, Bud Factor X, B52 & Bloombastic) @ 2.0 E.C. PH6.4 ~750ml for each BlueBerry Mazar 31/02/19 (Day) I prepared a solution with 3l water and (Rhino Skin, Sensizym, Bud Factor X, Big Bud, Bud Candy, Pro Active & Bloombastic), EC fix with Fast Food and Auto Stimulator @ 1.9 E.C.

El olor en casa se hace obbio esta semana, no es excesivo pero es difícil no olerlo desde fuera de casa si se abre la puerta (huele de maravilla). El día 27 cree una botella casera de CO2, de momento no puedo medir como ha afectado al CO2 general del armario (ya he pedido un sensor para hacer un medidor de CO2 wifi con un arduino), yo supongo que mucho mucho no ha afectado. Para hacer la botella he usado una botella de 5 litros con 4l de agua, 1.600 gr de azúcar y 4 paquetes pequeños de levadura (orgánica, la química no funciona). ----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO---- 28/02/19 (Día) Preparo un solución con 3l de agua y (Silica Power, Fast Food, Auto Stimulator, Bud Candy, Big Bud, Bud Factor X, B52 y Bloombastic) @ 2.0 E.C.

This is the last week 💀 There are less pictures than usual but nothing special happened except the yellowing of the plants due to the nutrients cut. Wait for the "Harvest" week for the final photo shoot 😎
