So this week after I gave it under nutrients I apparently gave it too much nitrogen while having a potassium deficiency. Shiney dark leaves, So i fixed that, but some didn't bounce back, and I tried nitrogen. I think they are doing pretty good considering everything I've put them through SO FAR. lol. Nutrients are NPK Raw's total lineup, follow their instructions at first, Fastbuds adjustments as of this week.

I have been training this one for a while, this is a rare lemonade pheno of strawberry lemonade which is totally leaning to the lemon side but not like a lemon skunk or lemon haze. It’s very lemon/diesel/sweet. Probably the nicest lemon type terp I have seen and can’t wait to get this one to the finish line

October 9, 2021: Everything is moving right along. Flowering in full effect! Still showing signs of overwatering, but getting better. I haven't watered them at all this week. They are almost dried out enough to start watering again. I'm learning these 'self watering' pots I purchased basically suck and should be treated the same as any other 3 gallon pot. Lesson learned. I still like the concept of Sub Irrigation Planter (SIP) pots. I'll be building some SIP pots of my own with 5 gallon buckets in the future. Blackberry is 14" tall and has nice purple colors coming in. I did some additional defoliation on her this week and really like the way she is looking now (minus the overwatering) Critical+ is 22" tall and has good bud development. Her leaves are more yellowed, but that hasn't seemed to affect her bud development. I'm guessing we have 4-5 weeks to go until harvest time. I have planted 4 new photo period seeds (new journal up - check it out). I'll be flipping this tent to 12-12 as soon as these two girls have harvested. Until next week... Happy Growing!!! ✊

Green crack is looking stunning coming down the home stretch now . Same same this week then I’ll taper off the nutes into a flush next week . 2 weeks to the chop . I’ve been smoking a bit of this , it’s sensational.

Very explosive growth this week! Things progressing very well.

Smells Sweet, amazing Taste, heavy nugs

Week 26/02 - 3/03

She is much prettier than she was a week ago :) I remembered that I have my first grow light, which is more compact and it will give me more space, so I changed my light, now the girl's side branches get light too:) I add a lot of video memes, because I really want to win Iphone16 pro ;) and those who don't take risks don't drink champagne:) good luck to everyone.

*****Week 17 growth – March 27 to Apr 2, 2021 – Week 8 flower ****** We are in the first full week of flush now. Color change time and more swelling😃👍 This girl has been a little smaller in bud mass but she has certainly been looking like fire little dense nugs on her💪👍😃 The smells coming off are increasing and getting some pine or lemon notes as well as woody. Buds are really dense but the lowers are going to end up in extracts as she has grown tight in a way and it’s been a little tough getting some light down lower in her. The girls are drinking well with being watered almost everyday. Moving into the phase of letting the pots dry right out before adding more water to ensure they are finishing all the nutrients in the media. Again, really just keeping them watered when they want it and taking pictures at this point😎 Little more detail….. Mar 27/21, Day 50 - 4L plain water at 6.0pH - fade is starting but she just isn’t going to lighten up as much as I would like by the time we get to the end......all is good though. Mar 28/21, Day 51 - 4L watering today with RO water. - 30ppm and 6.1pH Mar 29/21, Day 52 - cold in the tent today so turned the heater back on to brin up to 77 degrees. It was holding at 74, a little low. - nothing watered. Mar 30/21, Day 53 - 4L watering with tap water at 5.8pH - leaf edges darkening and showing some fade😃 Mar 31/21, Day 54 - watered late in the day with only 3L of RO water - 25ppm and 6.1 pH Apr 1/21, Day 55 - dry out day Apr 2/21, Day 56 - light power reduced again and down to 300 watts. - plain water with tap. - 3L each 280ppm and 6.1pH Through week 8 and going into 9 now. Still some nutrient to keep working on in the leaves......give them a little more time💪👍

Gary Payton has had a slow start but it is starting to stack really nicely. I think it will probably be the longest stack plant out of all the ones I’m growing. The plant already has the distinct Gary Payton smell All of the plants have really taken off. Usually I have a couple plants that are much smaller but all of these plants are getting huge. Seeing I got a new eluefah uap1500 the other day and I have my 2 fastbuds plants under that now I have my spider farmer light free. So I popped up another 2x2 and moved 3 of the 10 plants into the 2x2 and left the 7 other in the 2x4.

08-10-2025 Still putting on weight. Still some clear trichomes. 08-13-2025 Already some amber trichomes on the top buds. Going to harvest next weekend when the temps go down again. Not going to cut her down now as we have about 30C for the next two days. Should be back to 21-22C on the weekend. Diluted the nutrient solution down to 1.4 EC for the last couple of days.

Everything okay!

After a long time I think we got to an end of this story. Especially the gelato was tough battle. It started with no clones surviving from the veg of original plant. Then of course it turned out to be the best one from probably 20 or 30 seeds ive had of this strain. Reveg of this one was very complicated. She didn't want to grow from the buds I left on. Maybe due to them being very meaty not much leaf there just a couple of very chunky calyxes. I was kind of accepting it's not going to happen. Unexpectedly tiny growth started to show near the bottom of the main stem. Steadily but surely it slowly grew. Unfortunately after reaching around 15 cm new problems arose. She started drooping badly. I think I she started having root issues. It was rather big pot of roots for such a small growth and they started dying. I also might overwatered it a little. I must have taken action or she would be lost again. I took a chance and took clones from the small and droopy growth. After a long few days there perked right up. I knew they started getting more nutrients and water from the cut little stems then they've had from the dying roots. Another few days flew by and, success the withe fuzzy growth appeared from the easy plugs. We had roots! Now I have 3 beautiful clones of her and she's going in for the next round. Ice cream cake was a breeze in comparison. Maybe it was due to rock wool cube breaking a little better than 7 l coco. Or the buds were more prone to reveg. She started growing beautiful shoots left and right fast. I took probably 30 clones off of her. 9 best are currently growing in small turn and are stunning. Very healthy, very vigorous, praying all the time. Just perfect. Can't wait to see these dark purple buds again. Till the next time.

Yellowing advancing brow spots, some leafs drying and falling off. One girl I will flush tomorrow to cut on the weekend. The other 2 have more one week or 2. Is these yellowing hurt on the stage the girls are?

Day 28. Trim them 3 times last week. Trying to figure out how much stretch I'll get with led lights. Haven't used led forever. Grew this last grow under hps got 571 grams with 600 hps.

Start of week 9 4/9/25 4/10/25: was fed with the nutrient dosage above 4/12/25 : watered with plain ph’d water
