•••••••••••••••••••••••••• Sept. 28 - Oct. 4 Week 9 of 12/12 •••••••••••••••••••••••••• WEEKLY SUMMARY: •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 🙋‍♀️Fo' Twenny here!🙋‍♀️ We're back with another update on our 🍧🌊🌱 GELATO.G cultivar bred by SEEDSMAN SEEDS! It's week 9 and all she is presenting all of the beautiful colors of Fall 🍁 as she progresses deeper into senescence! She just seems to get frostier ❄️ by the day and her aroma is reminiscent a of sweet vanilla cake with a hint of kushy funk. I keep checking trichomes, but still not a much amber. Maybe another week or more. Also, I realized my BlueLab Conductivity Meter has the option to switch to EC. Since EC is the most accurate way to measure the nutrient concentration in a solution, I will now be measuring and reporting EC readings rather than PPM. Any advice, suggestions, or constructive criticisms are always welcome. Now, for the weekly break down! •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• THIS WEEK'S BREAK DOWN •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 9/30 - Day 59 of BLOOM °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° 📸 PHOTOSHOOT! 📸 🎥 FILMING! 🎥 •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 10/2 - Day 61 of BLOOM °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° 🚿FEED DAY!🚿 - She received approximately 2 gallons of nutrient solution. I mixed 6 gallons of solution for all the plants I have running in this SOG. 2 gallons of that was then measured and fed to this cultivar. This week I used some gallon bottles filled with water and frozen to lower temps in the reservoir. 👩‍🔬NUTRIENT SOLUTION👩‍🔬 ⬇️Mixing Rundown⬇️ - The solution starts with 6 gal tap H2O through two kdf filters mixed in a 36 gallon reservoir. The solution is applied via wand sprayer powered by a submersible pump attached to a garden hose. Nutrients and additives are added to the reservoir in the order listed below and thoroughly mixed using a plastic stir spoon. The reservoir is oxygenated by four 4 inch air stones.

Day 26, what can i say this plant is a beast, been a dream to grow and the structure on the plant is very desirable for my style of training. the terps on this one overpower all other smells when i open the tent.

They look good , and they are on her final Phase!

Bueno, pues en este avance (QUE ACLARO, EL SEGUIMIENTO DE ESTE DIARIO NO ES ESTRICTAMENTE SEMANAL ya que la intención de este diario es mostrar como cuido madres y esquejes), ya tengo listos los esquejes y madre que voy a poner en el siguiente cultivo, del cual iré preparando sus diarios correspondientes. Al final la blue zushi, no se si es que me pasé mojando el root riot o una movida con unos palillos de madera wue metí para hacer de tutores hizo que se jodiese, el tallo estaba marron, pocho y las hojas muy pochas ya varios dias seguidos, asique ese esqueje lo he tirado, y para evitar tener expuestos los otros dos que me quedaban en el mismo propagador a posibles esporas de moho malo los he sacado ya y trasplantado a la maceta de 1L. Por ese motivo la blue zushi que usaré será la madre (que no quita que a la madre le sacaré esquejes y guardaré, pero conforme crezca) y ya los esquejes de la Pakistan Valley y de la Critical, al levantarlos del tallo, el root riot subía asique enraizar han enraizado, aunque aun no sobresalían las raices del bloque de sustrato ese, pero bueno. Al esqueje de la Kritical GB (Bilbo) le he quitado hoy la botellita que la cubría para el tema humedad y la controlaré a lo largo del dia que tal, si se puede quedar ya así o no. Luego, la madre principal de la Hash Plant la he tirado, ya que me faltaba una maceta de 1L y como tengo dos esquejes bien enraizados ya en vasos blancos de la hash plant, pues marchen, ademas que esa es un macho, osea que solo la tenía para en el futuro hacer semillas.

Sorry but I got to much busy on this week that’s why I didn’t make to many videos!

Thanks MSLN ❤️

Looking good smelling great ....

👌

Not a good week unfortunately. Fed them too much and burnt them slightly. Fixed my mistake so back on the mend. One week or so left I think so only plain water

Day 71 - Starting week 11 and she’s really starting to fill in quite nicely. Did a little bit more of leaf tucking and will be giving her a feed of nutes in the next day or two. She’s got a really sweet smell to her right now. Day 72 - All looking good and not much new today. I did give her a feeding of nutes today and checked the runoff again and a tiny bit higher than I’d like, sitting at 7.1. Other than that, just removed a few leaves and tucked the rest. Day 73 - Noticed a couple leaves that have a couple “rust” spots on them so gonna try and get that fixed. Other than that she’s progressing nicely and will probably end op giving her some more water in 2 days. Day 74 - Nothing new happening right now. I’m just letting her do her thing and feeding her when she calls for it. I did rearrange her in the tent a little bit but that’s about it for today. Day 75 - The girl is still fattening up nicely but other than that, there’s not much else happening today. She’ll be ready for some water tomorrow. Day 76 - Gave the girl a heavy watering of plain water today and the PPM is at 223 right now so next watering will definitely be a feeding of nutes. She’s has quite some time left before harvest so not wanting to cut the nutrients yet.

Do you think her leafs are getting fatter? how thick are they though, seriously ?? so thick ! that's that 100% indica i guess, really striking to see her asleep with those fat leafs isnt it? tried out the obscurity to try and get some nice in, hope you find them nice ! i really like that dramatic effect with the lighting and the shadow but to be honest i'm not the most talented photographer so i dont really know if it's working for you or not, so let me know ! she's growing as expected basically, squat, short, thick, doesnt really need that much attention, so far these genetics are an absolute pleasure to grow ! Raised the lights to the normal height, reduced the light schedule to 13/11, fed with some biocanna i had on hand, added some specialized flower micro : that's mag sulfur and cal mag , hopefully this will make the end product more pungent and more potent. let's see some flowers amirite?

Almost harvest time... Check out the video!!

Purple Chill aka Penny was easy to grow. She was medium height 26 inches. Stem structure was weak. Many stems bent (repaired with splints and masking tape) and some broke off. She suffered from heat stress and also showed cal-mag deficiency.

83 days from seed, soil was hot from day 1 & I ended up stunting the plants this run... Low yield at 28g but end product still turned out great! Smelled like straight chem with none of the extras during flower & has managed to maintain that during the cure so far as well!

Hat die letzten Tage noch einmal richtig Gas geben ❗ ❤️🤤
