Week 4 for gelato 41, shes been topped at the 4th node & has also been transplanted into 5L pot😎The new growth is coming in hotttt compared to last week.

Day 43 - 1.3L water with half dose according to biobizz schedule + extra calmag (ph 6.3)(84 cm) Day 44 - 1L water with calmag (ph 6.4)(86 cm) Day 45 - 1L water with half dose according to biobizz schedule (ph 6.3)(88 cm) Day 46 - 1L water with calmag (ph 6.4)(88 cm) Day 47 - 1L water with half dose according to biobizz schedule, trimmed some lower branches, hope they finished growing in height (ph 6.3)(89 cm) Day 48 - 1L water with calmag (ph 6.5)(90 cm) Day 49 - 1L water with half dose according to biobizz schedule (ph 6.3)(91 cm) They don't have much more space to grow into, 30 cm from the lamp / tent's roof. Hopefully they are at the end of their stretch, might even give one away to make space inside the tent.

This week was mainly about making sure there are no leaks in the RDWC system. I germinated the seeds straight in to the easy plugs and placed them in the the net pots surrounded by clay pebbles. The Fastbuds genetics did the rest and came through with a 100% germination rate. I will leave them running on clean water for the next couple of days. I will be making sure to monitor ph balances closely. In regards to oxygen for the roots I constructed a waterfall system with added air stones from my air pumps to cater for healthy root development and sufficient oxygen. Even though I have a lot of light in there, I have them all dimmed down to their lowest percentage.

One more dose of microbial mass Starting to stink

August 23: Just finishing up about 36 hours of darkness, then I'm going to wash the buds, then hang them. Harvesting a bit early due to time constraints but it looks good. The smell is very dank, not a tropical skittles smell, much more like wood glue as I've seen mentioned in other reviews, although I'm starting to occasionally catch a sweeter tropical scent as well. I wanted to leave it a little longer. There were still a lot of white hairs when I started the dark period, but a lot of them seem to have developed into swollen calyxes so I'm pretty happy. I was a little worried they were making seed pods after last time, but I broke one open and all that was inside was red hairs. I'm going to keep an eye on the RH while they're drying and get them into jars and try to wait as long as possible before I start sampling. I can tell this is one of those batches that's going to get better and better if left alone for a couple months. Just did the wash, did 1.25 cups of 34% food grade H202 and a squeezed lemon in a 5 gal bucket. Another bucket of just water to rinse. Then I had a fan on it while hanging in the sunlight from a skylight in the bathroom for 30 min, then put the fan further back and on oscillate, then turned it down an hour later. Left it in there for a few hours, then hung it in the grow tent with everything removed except an oscillating fan, pointed away from the buds. I have the whole plant hanging in the middle of the tent and the tent is holding at 60% rh. Next run I'm going to do 2 buckets and only top once. I might leave them a bit longer in veg too to maximize the height in my grow space, and I'll get a proper 500w bulb instead of continuing to run 1000w bulbs at 50% to lower the heat a bit. The weather will be cooler and I'll only run one air stone in each bucket which should help with res temp. I'll probably foil-wrap the buckets again as well. I should be able to get another run done by the end of the year. I have a White Widow fem seed I've been waiting to use but I'm not sure what else I want to grow yet. Maybe Granddaddy Purp. I'll take some micro pics of the trichomes this week and start curing, and I'll post a proper review in a couple weeks. Happy growing everyone! August 24: I took it out of the tent to inspect. No mold or mildew. The middle of some buds are still pretty wet. I'll keep an eye on it. Wet weight on the stem is 158 grams/ 5.5oz. I harvested a couple branches last week and hung them up. I just ground up one of the buds, left it overnight and vaped some today. There was a bit of Chemdawg Tangerine in the grinder already but overall I got a lot of thick vapour, instant effects, and a really great tropical taste. I busted out the microscope camera and I realized I had a couple buds that fell off before I washed the plant in the H202, and a couple buds that came off in the washing process. It doesn't look like washing the buds took off any of the trichomes. I do seem to find less debris in the buds, not that there was much there before. The trichs look great. Just a light toasting of amber. The washed bud actually seems more dry than the unwashed bud. August 25: there's a real chlorophyll smell coming from the drying room today, it was much terpier yesterday. Leaves are getting crunchy, stems are still fully bendy. I ended up taking it down in the evening. The drying room rh dropped from 60% to 55% and the buds were starting to look too dry based on my last grow. I put it all in a paper bag for the night and I'll put it in jars tomorrow morning. Broken down most of the way it came out to 48-49 grams. From the bud structure, I definitely feel like it would have benefitted from more grow time if I didn't have to travel. More to come. August 26 - the edges of the buds are getting really crispy and the buds are getting tighter. I checked the paper bag earlier and it was 65-70%. I got the impression it was time to put it into jars. I'll keep the lids off for a bit.

week 2 day 3. maybe 200 ppm is a bit too much im actualy seeing tip burn on 2 of them i might remove 50 % water and add reverse osmosis water tomorow to lower nute concentration to around 100 will see how night goes.did the 50% water change and readjusted ph now everything looks fine. also iv lowered water level to 1 inch above bottom of net pot to promote more root growth i need to buy a par meter asap im scared to lower my veg led lower.some little issue with minor tip burn maybe from stress from power outtage or potassium deficiency from nutrient lock out ph went to 6.7 for a day cant get it stable so far.seems like ph as finaly settle down go check my video from grow room.2 of them are doing really well but 2 are in bad shape newbie mistake my ph pen was way out of range went to 4.8 for 2 days i calibrated it 2 days ago flushed system and ran revive only for 2 days ph has been spot on at 5.8 since flushed again yesterday and started adding nutrient back in very low dose 1/4 strenght plants now seems to thrive as roots entered the system today they already are like 6 inch long light just shut off i might do another foliar spary with revive and sensi cal mag extra and wet betty to help with damaged leafs from bad ph pen mistake next week if they have not fully recovered already in case 1 of them does not make it i have a spare 1 growing in coco whos ready to drop in system im still learning feel free to leave comments

Cruising right along. This is technically day 6 of week one and they are performing as I had hoped they would. Already splitting off and I upped my nutes to try and get as much as I can in the vegetative weeks as possible. I know it’s pushing it but no guts no glory as I’m running 1064ppm. Added some photos from day 10. What a change.

This plant grew 5 inches this week!! @Divineseeds says that this Candy Auto should reach heights of 100-120 cm, so we are off to a good start. In addition, Candy Auto grew remarkable well even though we had a terrible rain storm and hot/humid weather. The dog days of summer are upon us. When I looked up Candy Auto on the Divine Seeds Website, it states, "Thick growth on the sides of plants makes a for higher productivity..." If you look really close at the pictures I loaded, you can see that there is a lot of growth under the leaves. As of today, it looks like this plant is going to do BIG things. Another interesting fact about this plant is "Auto Candy buds possess medicinal properties: their moderate effect kills off depression and irritation, nausea, insomnia, muscular spasms-like a velvet medicine!" @AdvanceNutrients Jungle Juice Grow is what I am using exclusively for this grow. Comments are appreciated and let's chat it up!!

Moved this week so mostly just fed them. Switched to just water.

One of my smoothest grows yet, plant was a monster got ppms up to 1340 with the nectar. The final product was 10/10 quality. Yield was decent considering I'm using the nectar.

HulkBerry placed 2 days in dark * Check the trichomes for amber * After first amber trichomes switch off the lights, leave it in the dark for 2 days * Watering 2l every 3 days * Always tuck in the leaves to expose lower tops

End of week 3, last week we removed bottom node and this week removed last node from bottom tpp, heavy lollipoping for pre veg for 2/3 weeks then flip to 12/12

Did defoliation on all three never done it before not sure did k over do it but they needed the trim I had a lot of fan leaves blocking bud sights Jan23 started to use the self watering pots from acinfinity gallon in each pot with fish shit

Prepared 9 , 5 gallon fabric pots. Started presoak of beans at noon on August 31st. About 4 hrs then switch to pure water for 8 more hours. Around midnight switch to paper towel and plates. Set heat pad @86°. Prep solo cups with Light Warrior ff, on the 2nd of September check tails and plant in solos. Wet solos the day before and start heating them up on the mat in domes. After seeds pop in solos wet the center of 5gal pots until runoff and start heating main tent with the big pots in it. Transplant seedlingson or around September 7th. I'll try to remember to post a germination pic. I use rain water with 5ml calmag per gal with a ph 6.0-6.5 no adjustment to the ph is needed. That's how I water throughout the grow, unless I see a deficiency that needs immediate attention. Soil is a mixture of Fox Farm soils , I added pumice, perlite, peat, moss, ewc, compost, guano, langbeinite, dietamacieous earth and dry fertilizers like Dr EARTH Bud and Bloom, or Pennington tomato. Installing bamboo frames for LST. I'll LST and top once usually. Manifolding is fun but takes an extra 2 weeks for me so I have started to avoid tall strains. I've grown Wedding Cake a few times, also Chemdog and Gelato, but the N. Lights and Peyote WiFi are gonna be a new experience. No idea what PW will be, they were freebies won in the Seedsman 4-20 contest 2021. Pretty sure the Northern lights will be similar in size to wedding cake. It will all get sorted out over the next 7 weeks. Ill move them around until a conopy looks good. That 2x4 tent is mainly for germinating seedlings and drying harvest but can also be useful for overfolw or quarantine. The 4x4 is taller plants. The 3x5 with that vioer spectra 480w light is bad ass but does have limits on total plant height, really really strong light.Alright that's it, I'm back with no name or gender changes, had some success and failure here before, I expect that trend to continue.I'll be checking your darlings out. 8/2 added a few more beans to the paper towels. These old beans from GOG seem to be bad, probably due to the factory seed pack. They are blister packs with plain card board backing, the plastic is heavy butvonly on the top for protection from crushing. Obviously not good for storage , so much for trying to maintain humidity. Added six more chemdog millionaire and 4 more Northern Lights beans to the paper towel for germination last night so far all these chemdogs and northern lights haven't germinated. The wedding cakes spouted then died before the tails were a quarter inch long. I've never had so many fail. This is gonna take a while but I'll eventually find some beans that aren't full of dust. Garden of Green love ya but this is bad. Update September 7th I've added- 3 Black Sugars, 6 White Widows, 5 Hellfire OG, all failed they are just dry husk that sink and stay on the bottom of a glass with water. Out of 60 or so seeds I think 6 germinated and 4 actually became seedlings. Stating over with. 5 Seedsman Gelat OG feminized and 5 Seedsman Amnesia FAST feminized pre soaked last night then started paper towel method at 5am today. Still have 5 of 9 pots that are empty. What a fucking ordeal.im just gonna continue with what is up already and say day 1 was Sept 12. That's close enough for this mess.

Ready for harvest
