* ********* Week 11 - June 20 to 26, 2020 - Days 71 to 77 from germination *********** * It is the end of flush week and she went into darkness on Wednesday night, day 75, for two days. Saturday will be harvest day and start and the dry process👍 She has certainly been going through the beautiful stage of senescence and her fade is gorgeous. The purples and yellows coming out are great......covers up the brown spots😂😂 Her buds are densing this week as we work on bring down the humidity. Running in the mid 60’s for humidity late in flower is a different experience and one that takes some getting used to. Bring down further to low 50’s has really helped to bring out her frost as well. Kept the humidity high to form big buds......now lowering to make them more sticky👍👍 I am feeling very strongly that the big part of the pH issues this run was a change in feed water. I have always used bottled RO water for all my grows, except outdoors, but this grow I switched to tap water. Dechlorinated the water with air stone and gave it 24 hours min before using. Wanted to save some money and tired of lugging bottles downstairs a couple of times a week☹️ This is worked out nicely and a lot more convenient. However, the city must be putting some crap in the water that is causing issues in my media and raises the pH after the watering. Out of the tap it is 8.4pH and 275ppm. Since ppm were not too bad in my opinion I moved forward without filtering the water.......oops🤬🤬🤬 Out of options on what is causing the issue, I switched back to RO water late last week........all the girls are happier!!!! F......missed the cause for weeks. Always learning from this plant and my own mistakes to get better every run😉👍 Also wanted to add a little more stress to girl to help push out some increased resin. I drilled a 5/16” hole into the main stem to cause her stress. I did this rather than trying to break a branch and will see how it goes this run. Sterilized a new bit in Alcohol and went for it. They went into darkness about a couple of hours later. Excited to see what happens when she comes out to get chopped😃😃 Little more detail...... June 20/20 - Day 71 - Rezin and Liquid Weight @ 2ml/L = 285ppm and 4.0ph - 8L given to get a good flush - Runoff in pots already were 7.8pH and 485ppm. - after 8L water runoff was 7.0pH and 370ppm. - she is 29” tall and 30” wide. - tricombs still mainly cloudy.....review again in couple of days. June 21/20 - Day 72 - Dry out day - buds are firming up......squeezed a couple🧐 - temps are nice outside so tent able to hold 75 degrees and 51% humidity. June 22/20 - Day 73 - Rezin @ 1ml/L = 120ppm and pH the water to 2.7!!!!!!!!! - Given 2L watering. - No runoff water and I am good with that as I want the low pH water to stay in the medium. - She will be ready soon. Thinking darkness on Wednesday and harvest on Saturday?? June 23/20 - Day 74 - 2L plain water feed - 80ppm and pH to 2.4!!!!!! - not excited about these crazy low pH numbers but doing what we can - her tops are getting really pointy now and her leaves are very yellow. - checking tricombs, I think we are done and tomorrow will be her last day so that I can take down on Saturday. June 24/20 - Day 75 - 2L plain water feed - 80ppm and pH to 3.0 - Going into darkness tonight so this was her last bit of moisture. - drilled a hole into the stem.....was going to do a couple of holes but not trying this method before I decided to leave it with one hole. - into darkness tonight So we finish up the week with her in the dark. Next update will be the harvest!! Thanks very much for taking the time to review my diary!! Sorry for running behind often on this run.........everyone has had a busy life the last couple of months in the world and its been no different here...........a huge Kudos to all the Growmie‘s that are able to keep up with their diaries on daily basis on GrowDiaries.......its a commitment😃👍👍 Mephisto has bread a very nice girl. She is big and sticky and grown very well considering the environment she has been given. Battling the high pH and still turning out as she has is awesome and much respect!!!! Great job Mephisto, can’t wait to run her again.......just so happens I have several more seeds of her😃👍

Day 101, been cutting off fan leaves on lower nodes, adding ice cubes and spraying cold water on buds. Expecting about 5 more weeks till harvest but I don’t know just guessing Also I don’t know how to change the question so I’m gonna put it here, has anyone tried to defoliate some smaller colas then tie them together will that be beneficial for bigger bud(promote one another) or is it better to leave oxygen to pass through, thanks

Plants just received their last feeding. Only ph balanced water for the last 2 weeks to flush out nutrients. Leaves are starting to yellow showing signs of being almost ready for harvest. The trics are about half cloudy.

-Strain: Auto Gelato - Fast Buds -Tent: 5x5 Gorilla Grow Tent -Lights: Budget LED Grow Lights 2 x 250 Watt LED Full Spec/Red Spec mixed boards -Light Cycle: 18/6 -Soil: Fox Farm -Air Circulation: AC Infinity Cloudline T6 Inline Duct Fan WECLOME BACK GROWMIES! Week 12 here with our AUTO GELATO by Fast Buds! February, 09, 2020 (DAY 78) - YOO GROWMIES! Welcome to week 12 of our AUTO GELATO! week 6 of flower to be exact! ISNT SHE FROSTY! holy moly look at this thing, can almost go skiing lol! nothing but frost, she is starting to thicken up on the buds, i havent defoliated too much on this one because there is just too much frost all over those leaves. February 12, 2020 (DAY 81) - WHAT UPPPPP!!!! here we are folks another update. i didnt even know there were purples in the gelato auto to be honest, but the purples are getting so VIBRANT!!!!! think she is getting flushed starting this weekend. this will be the last feed then its onto that FLAWLESS FINISH by ADVANCED NUTRIENTS. hopefully im making the right choice......maybe another week wouldnt hurt....

Harvest day !

Feedings during this period were alternated with water and calmag+. Everything ph'd to 6.5. Started watching my VPD. I try to keep it above 1 and below 1.6

Day 4 - training most GP2 GP1 has stiff stems already.....

31/03 😐 encore une qui me fait un coup tordu. en fait, elle est Loing d'être raté. mais elle a pris du retard.. Pour une auto.. c'est bizarre.

Ich lass sie Machen. Sie hat sich berappelt, darum bei dieser gar kein Stress. Bis nächste Woche ✌️

day 26 flower, she ended up being my tallest plant! trichomes are already prominent and there are no visible deficiencies coming up on week 5 flower

Banana purple punch RF3 auto has been developing at a steady rate the 2nd node is more developed with a tiny 3rd set of leaves can been seen for the next node have begun light bending of the stem to thicken it up and have just begun LST

Going good.. Gelato still super tiny.. Seems it has the results of nutrient burn without the nutrients.. Just gonna let it do its thing though.

Partially drained the tank at the start of the week and topped up with ro water and 1ml of final solution per Litre. Last 2.5 days were in darkness. I trimmed the majority of fan leaves before hanging up to dry in the tent today. Started out trimming with the plants in the tent and soon realised it would be much easier to just cut them down whole, hang them upside down outside the tent and trim them up a bit. I have a small dehumidifier and a small fan heater setup in the tent and they have been keeping a humidity level of about 60% and a temp of 16 Celsius for the last few days while the lights have been off. I figure that's a good starting point for drying and I can increase the temperature if needed, that will drop the humidity also. Intake fan at the bottom and extract fan at the top are running constantly as they have been since the grow started (low power 4" fans). I might add back in a fan for circulation depending on how the drying goes, or maybe even trim or hang the plants better to get more airflow around the buds

🌿 Journal de Culture : Mac 1 – "Spirit" (Plante #2) – Floraison Avancée ​Date du jour : 02/06/2026 Âge de la plante : J+59 (Semaine 9) Taille actuelle : 131 cm Évolution : +16 cm depuis le dernier suivi (Elle continue de grimper !) ​De retour de vacances de Rimini ! Les filles ont été autonomes, mais Spirit a continué sa poussée verticale impressionnante. On entre dans le vif du sujet avec le gonflement des fleurs et quelques ajustements techniques majeurs suite à une surprise dans le réservoir. ​📊 État de Santé & Évolution des Fleurs ​Une structure géante : Spirit atteint désormais 131 cm. La gestion de l'espace devient un véritable casse-tête logistique. Pour rappel, avec une tente de 1m80 de hauteur et un pot de 30 cm, la marge est extrêmement mince. ​Gonflement des têtes : Les buds grossissent vraiment bien et prennent une belle forme, même si pour moi, ce sont encore de gros bourgeons qui ont encore une belle marge de progression. L'odeur qui s'en dégage est extrêmement forte et profondément fruitée, c'est un régal. ​Feuillage & Absence de sénescence : Toutes les feuilles affichent un vert bien sombre et vigoureux, sans aucun signe de sénescence pour le moment. J'ai remarqué quelques légères brûlures sur de rares pointes, mais rien d'inquiétant : c'est simplement dû au fait qu'elle transpirait beaucoup des feuilles aux endroits où je la manipulais pour le tricotage. ​Gestion des nuisibles : Ayant constaté une présence trop importante de mouches de terreau (sciarides), j'ai placé une feuille collante jaune (glue) au pied de la plante pour piéger les adultes et assainir le substrat. ​⚙️ Paramètres Environnementaux & Gestion Lumineuse ​Climat : Températures stables à 24°C le jour et 21°C la nuit. L'hygrométrie est maîtrisée à l'aide du déshumidificateur pour sécuriser la floraison. ​Ajustement de la lampe (Alerte Hauteur) : Suite à sa croissance indomptable, la cime la plus haute de Spirit ne se trouve plus qu'à 15 cm de la lampe. Le reste de la canopée générale se maintient à environ 35 cm de la source lumineuse. Je surveille quotidiennement pour éviter les brûlures par rayonnement sur le sommet principal. ​ Nutrition, Arrosage & Correctif pH ​Le repas du jour : J'ai préparé un arrosage manuel contenant 5 ml de Bio PK 5-8 de Biotabs dans 1 litre d'eau, ajusté à un pH de 6,3. Les plantes se montrent particulièrement gourmandes à ce stade. ​Incident pH à mon retour de vacances : À mon retour après 4 jours d'absence, j'ai constaté avec surprise que le pH de l'eau dans le réservoir Autopot était monté à 8. ​La cause : Le bulleur d'air installé dans le réservoir. L'oxygénation constante par bullage fait dégazer le CO₂ de l'eau, ce qui fait grimper le pH en flèche de manière très instable. Je me rends compte que l'eau n'a presque jamais été au bon pH depuis près d'un mois. ​Actions correctives : J'ai immédiatement retiré le bulleur du réservoir. J'ai également changé de correcteur pour utiliser le pH Down de Plagron (spécial système hydro), beaucoup plus stable dans le temps pour les cuves de solution. ​📝 Résumé de la situation ​Malgré un pH de réservoir qui a joué au yoyo ces dernières semaines à cause du bulleur, Spirit montre une résistance et une santé de fer. Sa structure est monstrueuse et elle n'a pas faim. Maintenant que le problème de stabilité du pH est réglé et que le bulleur est retiré, l'assimilation des nutriments va être optimale pour la phase de gonflement qui s'annonce massive. Attention toutefois à la lampe qui est désormais très proche de la cime principale ! ​🙏 Remerciements ​Un immense merci à @mia_biotabs et à Mrs_Larimar pour votre soutien constant et vos précieux conseils de culture. Merci également à toute la communauté qui suit l'évolution de la spectaculaire Spirit ! ​Le traitement de choc est en place, place au gonflement des buds !

Buds getting big and fat, smell is awesome. Everything going according to plan. A little defoliation this week of old leaves. Low fertilization, and some worm humus added on top. Solid guano was also added and mixed on the top of the soil.

Very high quality strain. No joke, I'm glad I have discovered such a fruity and sweet sativa strain. This m8 by gea seeds is a pleasure to smell, I'm so sad about growing her in that little 11l pot, hope next year I can make a very big bush full of fruity big colas 👨‍🌾🤤🍭🍓🍓🍏🍉🍉🍊 Loving the fragrance. Very recomended guys. Peace ✌️💚❤️💛
