I’m excited to see what RQS have to offer with this little Gem! I’ve been waiting to try another of Royals Automatics, Green Gelato is a strain I very much look forward to with desert strains being at the Top of my list 🥇 It’s been an eventful first few days.. (arnt they always!) she’s poked her head up yesterday so Day 1 is 30/03/20. Let’s see how this week treats her, I plan to keep a close eye on the environmental conditions and to ensure she’s being fed some gentle nutrients, CalMag to begin with followed by some BioBizz Grow for the extra nitrogen needed at this delicate time 👌 See you all next week, I hope with more leaves to show 🌱✌️ Peace and love, stay safe

Well she over doubled her height this week! Look how much she's bushed out too! Possibly flowering has just started? Not sure how much she will stretch.

Welcome to my Runtz X Layer Cake Female Diary from Barneysfarm. Wk 9 Days 58-63 (device was lost, and all picture,video days 57-69 were lost, so here's my account) just had finished pre flower and started to stack heavily on building top bud sites. Laded with thich compact trichomes. She has bright orange hairs. That give of a lovely musk of armoas that take over your senses. 2/3rds down the main bud sites, very healthy huge sugar leafs surround her, but, if hasn't taken away from below, as the sites are smaller, but have so much frost. And she had at least 14-20 more days. Wk 10 days 64-70 As you can see. She has a beautiful shape. Some of the nicest looking bud I've yet grown. She took to LST really well. Had I lollipopped the heck out of her, and make for some pretty good solid top colas with some small dense bud sites that have 1/3 the trichomes to calyxs. The calyex to sugar leaf ratio is super low, but 2/3s down she has many large sugar leafs that have shaded out her canopy. But, by moving her around and adjusting LST and leaf tucking. I've literally done hardly any defoliation. Am going to squeeze some in this week. Not, that its needed. But, there is some still more growing to do down below. And if I leave her to mature without allowing light to hit her harder down further into the canopy I risk the chance of overcooking the hard earned Rock Hard half fist sized buds. Have a feeling this gonna be some of my best smoke to date. The plant is in tip top shape. No defiencies no toxicity. 1st time for me. Am just going to let her ride out the next 2 weeks on water. Should be enough in pot to finish her off. Lots of pics to come over the next few weeks. Thanks to my sponsors from MarsHydro+barneysfarm, (reps) for supplying me with great lights+strains.

Same old same ol

Looking good Id say about 3 weeks left Booming!! This plant is blowing up!!! 5 foot tall exactly

This strain was given to me in really bad shape because a friend of mine couldn’t take care of it. I didn’t even expect it to live but I nursed it back to help and it was a really unique smell to the buds. It flowered really late but I waited until it was a good time to pick and it turned out really good for my first grow.

This is probably my favorite plant out of the mix, it looks pretty healthy. I think it can take more light and nutes. My plan is still to take a bunch of cuttings for the future and to sell.

Flowering Week 6 – Fading Leaves, Persistent Flies The sixth week of flowering brought a mix of progress and persistent problems. The whitefly issue unfortunately hasn’t gone away. I replaced both yellow sticky traps at the end of the week, and within minutes, two new whiteflies were already spotted on the fresh left trap. The old one had four additional flies on the back. This pest pressure remains a concern, but I’ve decided to hold off on further neem oil sprays for now, given how far along we are in flowering. I’ll keep monitoring closely. Nutrient-wise, I stayed cautious this week due to ongoing signs of overfeeding. Leaf tips are still showing yellowing and some burn, especially on the lower leaves. Many leaves have pronounced yellow spots and curled tips — a clear sign of excess nutrients earlier on. To reduce stress, I watered with plain pH-adjusted water (5.5–6.0). Total watering volume was approximately 29 liters This week I also did a second round of lollipopping, focusing on removing all small popcorn buds and lower growth under the net that wouldn’t develop well. Despite the nutrient stress and the ongoing whitefly presence, the plants are still developing well. Buds are getting chunkier, trichome production is visibly increasing, and the overall structure is solid. Still, I’ll be keeping a close eye on both leaf health and pest activity in the coming days. ⸻ TL;DR – Week 6: • New whiteflies still showing up – 7 total seen this week. Both sticky traps replaced. • Additional lollipopping done: removed popcorn buds and shaded growth under SCROG. • Leaf symptoms (tip burn, spotting) persist – watered with plain pH water, once with half HESI dose. • Watered 3x this week: 9.5 L (pH only) • Light stayed at intensity level 7

ROYAL QUEEN SEEDS - Blue Gelato - 80 days Today marks 80 days of growth for Blue Gelato from Royal Queen Seeds. She’s been flowering for 32 days and looks absolutely fantastic! The buds keep swelling, and the leaves remain a rich, healthy green. Trichomes densely cover the buds, creating a stunning crystal-like effect, promising a powerful outcome at harvest. Her aroma is getting stronger each day, and I’m sure the taste will be just as impressive. We’re still feeding her Xpert Nutrients, and the results speak for themselves — everything is on track, and the harvest is looking very promising!

What a week it was, experimented with my 2 AK47 hermie seeds and the happiness seeing a jungle in my 2x4 tent. They overtook the lights and pistils are coming out however no pistils are forming and the nice looking hairy structure was not visible instead the plant overstretched. I was informed to flip them lights in which i may attempt once harvested all of my 3 autoflowers. It is no doubt that this hermie can produce great flowers once i flip the switch, i have completely defo the plant to reveg it once Purple Punch, Outlaw Amnesia and strawberry cough is chop-chop. Other 3 autoflowers are looking great.

10/27 Week 5 PURPLE BUDS! This was unexpected even as a mystery strain Saw some unwanted bronzing on leaves, like its ever wanted, lets just say also unexpected. Best we can see is PH variances as possible issue, so there is that again. Just began on the middle leaves not top or bottom. So looking forward to the coco he is preparing, nice to know where you stand. Will watch and wait as the foliar spray did not help for certain. 10/29 Problem does not seem to be advancing - Soil PH confirmed at 6.7 so no problem there. 10/30 Feeding time Recharge 0.5 tsp - Kangaroots 5ml - CalMag 5ml - PH 6.5 for one gallon over 3 tbs top dressing Dr. Earth Flower Girl and one inch of mulch (50% coco/perlite) Trimmed off the damaged leaves where I could so if anything new arises it will be plain. See where it goes with the Flower Girl New Pics! My baby Krisabel is back! Her color her bearing her presence is restored! The change worked removed all dead zones since it stopped advancing, noticeable growth in just a couple of hours. Happy day 😁

12days to go

🔥 Finish

the dinafem seed did not make it. It was replaced with a royal queen seed hulkberry (which bore a lot of fruit in the last harvest). The other seeds are all fine

Day 8 Flower Hi growers, the end of week one has arrived. The plants seem to be happy. They’re starting to shoot up, new growth has that light green color, old growth is still dark green. I fed with Remo transition feed and and added green planet rezin. I think I may have been under watering as I realized there’s way more than 20% perlite…maybe closer to 45%. I’m going to start watering every 2 days, more coco style rather than soil with a dry back like I normally do. I think that could be the reason for the slower growth in veg regardless of light height and intensity with optimum environment and vpd. I was going to weave the new growth into the open squares, but historically it has caused those tops to be shorter at the end. So if they grow tall, I’ll add another level of trellis net and fill the squares of the upper net. Until then I’m just tucking the leaves on this very leafy plant. Heavy Defo will be on day 14. She has got a stank to her already. When watered or manipulated she has this skunky sour smell that I’m already intrigued by. Still have 2 months and 1 month of cure to wait ugh…..patience 👎🏻 I am having a bit of difficulty dialing in the Vipar Spectra XS2000. It seems very powerful for my setup especially in veg, I’ll try 50% in veg next time. You can see how stacked the buds are in the pics. I’ve raised it up 6” from the top of the tent to hopefully get some stretch. It’s heat output is good at keeping my tent at 77-81 at 100%. I am very interested to see how it grows the FastBuds autos once the SLH is done. That tent will have the XS2000, FastBuds Autos grown with Gaia Green Organics. I’m thinking that will be a solid hand. 🤞 Happy Growing 🌱 #Viparspectra #XS2000

i should have vegged these clones longer and not defoliate so much, but overal the grow has gone smooth and amazing smell after week 5 whoa

Last week runned into some trouble with them as they were showing signs of some deficiency and turned out to be rootbound. I transplanted them to a bigger pot and they got happy&healthy again. Now just a few more days before i switch to flower.

I am excited because the time for harvesting is coming. She is growing too healthy compared to my expectations. Plant #1, which she blooms one week later than my plant #2 about 1 week, I continue to increase the amount of nutrients for her in this crucial stage. Plant #2, she is really my queen, the size of buds and the smell that makes me feel excited. I used a microscope to test her trichome, most of them turned milky that is a good news. So I decided to flush her and plan to harvest in the next 1-2 weeks when 20% of the trichome turns amber.
