Hello Gelato lovers 🍦🌱 Welcome Finally, after a month and a few weeks from the harwest , I'm able to post and show you how my flowers are become.. Really lovley plant with beautiful flowers 💮🏵️🌸 Awesome trichomes production 🤩 And the aroma is so tasty🍦🍧 Especially because she comes from an organic grow 😎⬆️🔝 And also because I personally think to do a very precis and accurate work post harwest But however I will not be here again to explain how I currently practice the drying, manicure and final care process.. You can always find it in the "GELATO lover's" section, but from a another cultivar 😉👉 Anyway This strain in the beginnig she was very slow in grow And, during the pass from 18/6 to 12/12 , she wasn't stretch much But in the end she has becomes a very beauty little plants and super nice GELATO smell🍦🌱 I'm always titubant to say the taste of some strains are very like a food , about fruity it's more easy🙌 But this flowers right now are very deliciousnes in tasty and smell Very sticky too , but probably not much like you think after have see the pictures🤔 And the effect it's almost very easy , great for all day , you are almost focused but relaxed in the same time 👌👌 You can do everything Also the eyes aren't red (and that's maybe it my only real problem sometimes with herb 😁) And the terpenes experyence create the perfect balance Bouquet effect💐 Great work by breeder 👌🙏 Respect 🤝👊💪 In the end of the pictures I have posted the video of the ash test , but I usually enjoy the flowers using vaporaizers 😎🚀 And that's all guys If you maybe want more info about this grow cycle I have reported everything week by week in the most accurate way I can : 1: Thanks everybody for stopping by here all this weeks or just now 😉 Thanks Royal Queen Seeds for this nice strain 💯👌: 1:: 1:🏆 And like as always big thanks to Grow Diaries for this space of art 🎨🙏👊 Ciao✌️ 🇮🇹 BONUS If you like too see , for almost her entire life cycle , she share the space with other girls that you can find in the links here below 👇👇👇 https://growdiaries.com/diaries/46286-barney-039-s-farm-dos-si-dos-33-grow-journal-by-fun-clouds This.. https://growdiaries.com/diaries/46282-barney-039-s-farm-blue-gelato-41-grow-journal-by-fun-clouds And another one.. https://growdiaries.com/diaries/48209-barney-039-s-farm-dos-si-dos-33-grow-journal-by-funclouds 😉

Empezamos su día 16 de floración con un buen puñado de nutrientes repartidos en dos tomas. Las plantas ya desprenden un ligero olor generalizado, hora de encender filtro y más potencia al extractor. Dentro de unos días dejarán de estirarse para centrarse en la producción de las colas, hasta entonces, haremos la última defoliación de bajos para dirigir la ventilación en ese punto, así, por mucha humedad que tengamos, jamás tendremos hongos. Feliz semana, buenos humos.

Welcome growfessors to the harvest of Mandarin dreams pheno 2. She's typical light, airy fluffy buds. Wet trim and then vacuum sealed and into the freezer. Experimenting with this strain, freezing before turning into bubble hash. Will update with some sort of weight in the future.

Got the SCROG set up from netting we had around from a batting cage setup. The holes were a little small so we did some cutting and got everything working nicely.

Having some major heat problems in the group room due to the summer heat raising up a temperature of the addict which is where I’ve been through. However the planter you’re looking fine above but we have some drying out leaves on the bottom

Seeing some initial plumping by FD 30 and even more in the current pictures. BBxGS - going strong and similar to previous plants of this strain. Grandpa's Stash - Loving the aromas. Except for 1 plant, definitely the fastest development rate so far Banana Hammock - The primary cause of the massive stink throughout my house, I think. Also develioping quickly. Overall, the plants are healthy. Some blemishes here or there. Had some trouble keeping up with RH, so I removed some leaves. I have been topping off the 3 hammocks and 2 bbxgs plants with plain water immediately following a fertigation. They were lookin too lush. I've done this 5-6 times over the last week and adding less than a 1/2 gallon to each. However, i think the night time temps dropping to 67-68F are the cause at this point and i am seeing purple creep into leaves not a toxicity. Have had some minor tip paling on 1 of the hammocks for at least 7-10 days, but it never progressed. If i get some exotic colors in these as they progress, i don't think this is necessarily a nute-related issue at this point. I upped K ppm when i initially saw it, but only slightly. Think these plants are just on the dark side. Thinking these will have dark purple leaves like my Dinafem OG Cookies grow. Even so, will continue to dilute just in case on the darker plants and cease doing that if i see a hint of deficiency. While trichome production has been great from an early stage of flower, I've been a bit disappointed by it lately. The ethos plants seem to be lagging a bit, but also seeing it on stems and petioles. The bbxgs plants continue to cake it on. I don't smoke stems, petioles or leavs, so it isn't a major concern. All that matters is the aerial density of trichomes on the calyxes. I'm sure they'll be okay. The smell is really intense for the last week. My house smells like it is harvest day, every day. Love it! Climate pics added / update - You can see where dehum settings change at end of day. It can barely keep up when plants are trasnpiring. I had to remove leaves in order for it to maintain 50% during lights on. Temps are consistent as long as outside weather isn't unusually warm. Like I've said before, probably operating a bit too high in VPD, but concentration of fertilizer is reduced slightly and the VPD at the leaf, where it matters, is probably a bit lower than these readings. Probe is 6" under canopy and would be more accurate if placed in the middle of it. Night time VPD used to be equal or even a bit higher before i started trackign this stuff. I've got that flipped back to normal, but no idea if that is a benefit or just my own OCD. According to what i've read, it shouldn't be more than .4 kPa below daytime VPD. At least that part has some research behind it as to why. A week of tweaking behaviours and settings at specific points in time has lead to as consistent of an environment as i'm going to get relatiave to what i'm willing to invest (time/effort). The night time graphs are an hour short because they are of the day of this update. Close enough for display purposes. I will make a spreadsheet that will link to the exported date file of the probe at some point. For now the graphs in the app are good enough. I want to collect a lot more data in future. Start to figure out just how impactful some of this is or is not. Ambient weather outside, growth measured in multiple ways (height / number of nodes), incremental use of water/fertilizer electricity (already have a good guage of this) etc etc.. Gonna do a full statstilal analysis andn regression of various factors over time... come back in 10-20 years, LOL. Then again, may proclivity for laziness may be a factor too.

5 out of 6 ended up female, pretty happy with that ratio, last week of 12 hour light 12 hour dark week 3 I change to 11/13 to mimic season ending sooner or island (hawaiin) sun cycle that is supposedly known to help express phenos more and make plant finish quicker. a tip i heard from dj short

All good apart from the summer heat, but nothing I can do about that, plus in seedling stage the young ladies can handle it really well so no issues! 👍🏾🌱💚

This week has been one of great gains in both size and vegetation we have seen a vertical leap in two plants that is astronomical almost 4 inches in a week! Had to do some pruning to expose new bud and a little bit of low stress training on to plants to see if we can expose light to the underside and perhaps get a little more love out of our lower buds The stalk size on almost all of these plants is almost as big as your thumb but on one it is actually relatively skinny that is the one we’re doing the low stress training on we just started the low stress training and it is taking very well to it One of these plants is extremely dark in color on the vegetation and has typically about 11 fingers per leaf! Not sure what that means yet

Day #31: As I was a little bit busy with other things the last few days, I didn't have the time to update my diarie on day #30. Tuesday I got a nice surprise delivered from Lientec LED lights, they sent me three led strips as addition for my growroom. Two led strips have 660nm red leds an one led strip has 385-405nm UVA leds on it. Which means in blooming phase I can add more red light, which is positive for bud development. But also the UVA light is positive for THC development. Research has found out that UVA led light, in the right wavelength, is capable if uplifting the THC development with max 5%. That is in very optimized conditions. If all goes well a little bit, I might be investing in two more led bars with red and UVA light in the future... In the meantime the little buds are growing nicely, all plants show signs of good growth, so this week I will be slowly adding some bloom nutrients towards the end of the week. In week 6 I want to start with only bloom nutrients beside the FloraMicro nutrients. Also I'm adding CalMag once a week... Day #33: I added some FloraBloom nutrients, but forgot to mention last update. I'm going to change slowly from only FloraGrow as second nutrient, to FloraBloom as second nutrient next to FloraMicro. This weekend, I'm going to change the Fan, because the fan I'm using right now isn't capable of keeping temperature as I like it. But further one, everything is going very good. Flowers are growing pretty nice, I think the extra red LED light is doing it's job perfectly. After this week, I still got about five weeks to go until harvest. UVA light will be added slowly around the end of week 7. I need to build that up slowly, because the plants are not used to the UV light and if I start with 18 hours UV light right away, they probably will get overstressed and my harvest will be killed... All electric has been reset, so I can use an extra timer within the 18 hours of light for the UVA led strip. Day #35: I decided to start using the UVA light tomorrow, at the start of week 6. Slowly building up the hours of usage. First days I will be adding 1 hour ov UVA light, and then I will start multiplying the hours, until I'm at 12 hours a day. The plants are flowering pretty well in the meantime, next week I will be adding more bloom nutrients and less grow nutrients, but I will still be adding some grow nutrients, to make sure some nutrients still will be available for the plants. Als I will be starting to add Silicium once a week, as the temperature is getting a bit high and the new fan is still not here... So to avoid heat stress, Silicium will be added onze a week until the new fan will get temperature as I want it to be...

Into the next week all is well as much as it can be for me a few of the leaves are fading to yellow maybe because i have not fed them enough i just didn't want to kill them earlier as im no expert they all still look ok though a bit of the slurricane is getting a bit of purple and are getting frosty iv made a small video because im rubbish at picture. That's all folks take it easy...

woot woot the flowers are stating to come in and wow what a differnce the new ACCURATE ph meter made, was something I wanted for a while but didnt make the purchase. My old $50 meter was off by .27 even right after calibration!!!!! I can only imagine how much it drifted after a week or two, very happy with the $120 tester, I reads almost instantly and is very precise. I started co2 this week and switched to flower nutes.

This week I had to fight against a rapidly dropping pH value. Starting at 5.8 on Monday, it soon dropped to 5.4 on Thursday. Yes, I calibrated my pH meter and that's when I added some baking soda. That stuff works really well for my with regards to raising the pH value. Two teaspoon handles and it shot back to 6.2. I thinned my additional nutrient solution with the half volume of RO water to keep the EC down. 1.8 seems to be too much for this beauty but around 1.7 looks spot on.

All of the dosidos’ ended up dying. Hope it was a case of weak genetics and not my incompetence because the northern lights seems to be completely okay, and we’re about 2 and a half weeks in now. Next node is coming in and the plant is really kicking into fast growth now around 4~5th May.
