Really lovley plant with beautiful flowers ๐Ÿ’ฎ๐Ÿต๏ธ๐ŸŒธ Awesome trichomes production ๐Ÿคฉ And the aroma is so tasty๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿง Especially because she comes from an organic grow ๐Ÿ˜Žโฌ†๏ธ๐Ÿ” 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 ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ‘‰ 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 smell๐Ÿฆ๐ŸŒฑ I'm always titubant to say the taste of some strains are very like a food , about fruity it's more easy๐Ÿ™Œ 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 pictures๐Ÿค” And the effect it's almost very easy , great for all day , you are almost focused but relaxed in the same time ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘Œ You can do everything Also the eyes aren't red (and that's maybe it my only real problem sometimes with herb ๐Ÿ˜) And the terpenes experyence create the perfect balance Bouquet effect๐Ÿ’ Great work by breeder ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ™ Respect ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ’ช In the end of the pictures I have posted the video of the ash test , but I usually enjoy the flowers using vaporaizers ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿš€ 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 ๐Ÿ˜‰ Thanks Royal Queen Seeds for this nice strain ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ‘Œ: 1:: 1:๐Ÿ† And like as always big thanks to Grow Diaries for this space of art ๐ŸŽจ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ‘Š CiaoโœŒ๏ธ ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น 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 ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡ 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 ๐Ÿ˜‰

So this is the Tear Down week. The timing of it makes it so i will need to the harvest flag in a few days when I can weight and test the plants. I have included the Cleaning, and Cutting and some Root Porn. I will make the harvest post in about 4-5 days, when I can trim these plants. There is a lot of Plant here. I got way more than I was expecting. I don't have a scale that measure this amount of plant, without taking like 10 measurements and then adding them together. So I will just be posting the dry weight. I will post the wet weight as dry weight * 1.65. Autopots: Wow, what a great product. I have been blown away by how well and how easy it was to work with them. They really did solve the watering issues. Excellent product. If you are a beginner, start with Autopots. -= Lessons Learnt =- - Overdrive the air to your Autopots. In my control plant, I used a small rectangle air stone (instead of a standard air dome). This lead to root rot and some other issues, it also put significantly less air into the water. The root rot, give the material for the Brown Algae to grow. Using a huge Air-disc-Air-Stone would be an excellent combo to mix in with the air dome itself. Something like this: https://www.amazon.ca/Pawfly-Diffuser-Suction-Hydroponics-Aquarium/dp/B01MY3AQ33 at the bottom and the air-dome on top of it, will be what I do with my next experiment. - Air stone in the reservoir. I had two instances where algae grew into the res. An air stone would have helped. It would have also helped my control plant get less root rot. Given the amount that the air-domes and air sources got engulfed, having the water have more o2 in it would have only been beneficial. - Don't grow 6 plants in a 4x4. Since my control plant was about 1/8th the size of the others, I think I could have grown 5 in the shape of a 5 (on a 6 sided dice)โš„ This placement would give a much more spaced canopy for airflow and more importantly light. The sides of some of the plants were lighter green and produced larf due to lack of light penetration. - This tent was on 19-5 schedule. This worked out very well for this strain. After every lights on, they were in the praying position, so this strain was able to recover in that 5hrs off. If I had more seeds, I would run these again, and try 20-4. I think this strain could handle it. All for all, I think I'm going to 19-5 as my default timing. This kept up a solid DLI. - Staring at .9EC (really .7 EC cause my water here is .2 EC) Then bumping up at .1 a week, until 1.6EC worked out VERY well. I experimented on this crop all the way up to 1.9EC, which burnt the tips of this plant. I think if I did this strain again, I would do 1.6EC until 3-4 weeks left then crank it to 1.9. It did plump them up when I went to 1.9, however it left them looking rough. Bulk was added though. - Sticking to 6.0PH for all of veg, and 2 weeks into flower worked great. The plant had solid and consistent color and leaf shape . The plant's did get hurt, due to some issues (as noted on the weeks). I switched to 6.5 PH in the last 3-4 weeks and it helped them recover, and plump up noticeably. -VPD. The #1 thing I focused on was VPD. I keep it .9kpa range, as best as humanly possible. It was honestly, HUGELY noticeable compared to my other grows. I know truly understand the value of properly dialed in VPD. This is the one lesson that will stick with me forever. - Super-cropping: On the plants I give the chiropractic treatment too, had much thicker stems as much larger channel internally. I did this treatment to 4 of the 6, and the 4 that had it done has larger buds and recovered from defoliation faster. TLDR; VPD is king. Super-cropping is worth the time. Keeping PH and EC dialed in were all wins. Autopots kick ass.

Hey everyone, So I missed a week, but transplanted all 4 girls last night. The mystery seed actually seems to be the most vigorous, followed by the 2 kushes, with banana daddy being the slowest to veg so far. 5/19 I took the girls to their outdoor home today, they'll be spending a night in the garage, then they'll be going into a shady area for a few days to acclimate to outdoor conditions.

Everything is going fine now in week 2. I gave her only 2ml / 700 ml once. And after that just plain water. She started to stretch now. But she has recovered very well after the slow start. So finally she has a even canopy and thats what I wanted to achieve. For now she will get plain water till the Batmix runs out and I need to start give her Alga Blome. next week I will start giving her Green Sensation.

We upgraded! Really thrilled with the new setup. Much better than those cardboard boxes. Pine tree kush was having issues due to the size of the makeshift setup so this tent was very much needed. No nutes as I just transplanted into new soil. Iโ€™ll give it a week before I decide if sheโ€™ll get one more round of fertilizer before we stop before harvesting.

2 Gallons every feed PH to 6.2 So far im liking trainwreck. I did a ton of trimming i wanted more light to hit my bud sites. As they say we ain't growing leaves. Think I need to add more cal-mag might be turning into a cal-mag whore? We will see......

Day 22 25/07/24 Thursday Still no Feed/water since Tuesday. Been a humid and overcast two days so not as much evaporation as normal. All plants happy and healthy ๐Ÿ’š Video updates Day 23 26/07/24 Friday De-chlorinated watering pH 6 with 5ml calmag to 5L water. Watered each with 250ml and had small run off. I will continue to feed/water with small run offs to help prevent salt build ups. Video update. Day 26 29/07/24 Monday Nice feed today, using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6. They each had 300ml with small run off. All looks incredibly happy and healthy! The Auto Kabul that was mutated and twisted has pulled herself through and is just a bit shorter than the others. Day 28 31/07/24 Wednesday End of week๐Ÿ˜ De-chlorinated water pH 6 today with Plagron pk13-14 5ml to 5L Plagron power buds 5ml to 5L Used 300ml of the 5L solution. I will be using these on water days from now on as they are advised to be used every irrigation. We'll see how they perform ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’š

Hi, thank your for visiting my diary, more info on my setup, soil and situation in: Germination... So been doin the whole Sherlock thing with the magnifier and nope.... no trichomes amber yet.... My magnifier is just not strong enough and apparently my eyesight is bollocks or my arms are too short... On the images ( I also have onset parkinsons as it seems, thus I used a tripod and low and behold: a stillshot) the trichomes are visible. Now I have the problem that I have to go for a week in a week. Im not leaving all on (mainly no control over smell and some distrust in my own handywork compiling these lights) when Im gone. So these ladies have to hurry up now. The other problem is the cure... I have no way to monitor temps and RH when Im away so Im gonna have to find a sitter for my babies or just cut them preprime or they magically make amber overnight.... I hoped, since they were racing to the finish, that I would be in time.... So maybe we pack an extra tent for our vacation... My growtent... I have been flushing for two weeks, still the leaves and plants are vigorous and lively. Some yellowing pointy bits but too minimal.... Temsp outdoor have been higher but stable, temps in the tent never over 26.8 degrees. Humidity has been dropping last days which I hoped for. Anyone any experience with building a climate chamber for curing? Or any on the market that will do? Please check my Zambeza 3 seed give away by guessing my final result! Check the previous week and growquestion for details!!! I would love it if more people would partake. Thank you all for the love since I started posting here, you all are a great inspiration and support and keep me want to make better reviews of the week and get better results! Love you!! As an update: I took some tiny larf of a couple of days ago and totally forgot about it. Today out of weed, I found the dried remains in the jar I put it in and left it. No temp, no cue, no rh anything. So I get it out of the jar to find it smelling like weed, not even hay or grass but pungeant stinky weed. I start to crumble and find it is sticky, solid, and crumbles to nice bits that crumble even further. I light up and an amazing sweet and citrussy smell comes free, it is superstrong, although still more high obviously, and supertasty, without any cure. This promises even more for the rest of the bunch. This was some underside sad yellowish larf,not any density to it but smoked ten times better than my local, round the corner dispensary weed that I smoked later that day. Even Sunshine (my partner) was amazed with difference in smell. Update 24th july: I finally saw ambers yesterday and the fact me running out of time, made me decide to start the 48 hours of darkness. Tomorrow she/they will be cut down for drying and curing. I have a humidifier and can manage temps to be a bit colder to prolong first dry as long as possible. Coming friday I have to decide what to do: keep them hanging for a full week, whilst Im gone. Or start the jarcure if drying (since its very hot and dry here lately, this might be the case) is faster. I would have loved to give these ladies another week maybe two... They were still so healthy. But I cant control anything when Im not here and this could potentially destroy my harvest or get very smelly, this leaves me no choice for now... The trichs are now at +/- 15% to 20% rest is all milky with just some single clears on less developped lower buds... I allread know she is nice tasting and potent enough. As soon as we are at the final weight I will post the harvest and we choose the winner! Another update: closer inspection revealed that the plants a/ had still lot of underside larf and b/ lots of clear trichomes. As we are near the finish I rather give them another week of light. So Ive bent all the big buds downwards to protect them from the light. I might not be able to correct the cure, but its a shame not give them another week if I can. Some will be horrified with the damage but my reasoning is simple, the big buds are done or almost, the larf still can develop into bigger buds so a late harvest supercrop and lowered the lights to 35 cm for the final push. In the harvest video we will show you the way we made the comfrey tea and where I keep it, our permagarden, introduce myself and maybe even Sunshine, the light of my life, introduces herself. So see you then!! Thank you for al the love and following and the likes and the guesses!! Ill keep you posted!!

Week 1 flowering is just over for our melonade Runtz from Dutch Passion The stretching is amazing, they really doubled the size or even tripled the size. We are adding some bloom nutrients now and lets see the buds starting to appear the next weeks.

Going to give her just water for a week or 2 now she seems like sheโ€™s done enough now
