February 9, 2021 (Week 5, Day 36): Start of week 5 of veg begins with more adjustments to the LST. Tons of stem growth, had to tie down Unknown 1 and Unknown 2's growth. The plants are almost to the outside of their pots, then I'll begin upward growth. Probably in the next few days. Gelato 1 is bushy as hell and just won't stop growing. The stems are massive. The minor nitrogen toxicity in the plants has completely subsided - no more drooping tips. Medium is still wet from yesterday. Lightly tilled the topsoil. Adjusted tent's passive intake and blocked out a heat vent in my grow room to help lower temperatures a bit; last night temperatures dipped another 2℉ further than average during lights out to 68℉. I'm now getting the 10℉ (68℉-78℉) swing I was looking for. Averaging 60% rH and 75℉. No other news today.
February 10, 2021 (Week 5, Day 37): Temperature dipped another 2℉ last night to 66℉. I think this new passive intake setup is working great so far. Plants are growing like mad and look perfectly healthy. Last night I went to change the humidifier water and noticed the pre-lights out droop, so they're definitely in the rhythm now. Adjusted LST and further lowered canopy to promote flat and lateral growth. Unknown 1 is already to the outside perimeter of its pot, so it will start growing vertically now. Gelato 1 isn't far behind Unknown 1, another day or so and it will be ready to stretch. Unknown 2 is a little shorter than the other two plants but I think that's just due to the difference in strain at this point. Since it's a little more squat I will let it grow vertically as soon as I let Gelato 1 go. I'll just have to make sure its bud sites are getting appropriate light and air through flower. Medium is still moist - lightly tilled topsoil. Averaging 60% rH and 74℉. Happy hump day, friends! 🐫 *PM Update: While changing the humidifier this evening I noticed a tragedy unfolding. Unknown 2's main stem has split in half. It has always been the runt out of the three plants, but this seems bad. I have added a grow question asking for advice and seeing if what I've done is adequate. I tied the stem back together in a cross-hatch with garden tie and then used a zip-tie to cinch the stem back together. I don't know what I've done wrong, but I am guessing this strain doesn't take well to high stress training like I've been doing. The other plants are much hardier. I will try to find a good veg stage vitamin-B supplement for my next grow to aid with stem growth. What a sad day.
February 11, 2021 (Week 5, Day 38): 12-hours after Unknown 2's stem split in half and it appears my repair is working. The plant looks just as healthy as it was without any drooping or shock, so it still seems to be thriving. I'm glad the split happened on the runt and not on one of the other plants. The other plants look great and are plugging right along. Gelato 1 is so damn leafy it just doesn't quit. Starting to notice staggered node development on Unknown 1 and Gelato 1, so these plants are definitely at maturity now. I think another week in veg will do. Didn't adjust any LST this morning as I am going to start transitioning to vertical growth now (and I'm also now terrified of splitting another main stem). Medium is still slightly moist. Tilled half-inch of top soil. It's pretty cold here right now and the tent dipped to 64℉ last night. That's about as low as I want to go, so hopefully it will stay between 64℉ and 68℉ nightly. Averaging 60% rH and 73℉. Nothing else for today.
February 12, 2021 (Week 5, Day 39): Watered with nutrients today; 4 liters per plant 5.7 pH + 2ml/l pH Perfect Grow + 2ml/l pH Perfect Bloom + 1ml/l Cal-Mag Plus. Plants are looking perfectly healthy. Time to juice and see what happens. Unknown 2 doesn't seem to be affected at all by the stem splitting. My repair seems to be holding for now. Starting to see the growth sites pop up vertical on all the plants. Hopefully we'll see plenty of vertical growth over the next several days. Averaging 60% rH and 74℉.
February 13, 2021 (Week 5, Day 40): Plants are looking good this morning. Vertical growth looks good and the growth sites are becoming more obvious. Soil is still wet this morning. Haven't adjusted LST in two days now. Hopefully this growth keeps up and we can switch to flower in the next week or so. Averaging 60% rH and 72℉. Nothing else to report today.
February 14, 2021 (Week 5, Day 41): Medium is still wet this morning. Tilled half inch of top soil. Saw about another half inch of vertical growth overnight. Unknown 1 is leaving the other plants in the dust now. It's lanky and wants to stretch. It's also starting to get interesting coloration on its main stem near the base; like purple-red veins. Gelato 1 is just a mess of leaves. The base has the diameter of a quarter, it's huge. Interestingly, it is also starting to smell very sweet and creamy already. I have a feeling it's going to reek. I'm trying not to defoliate until I get more vertical growth. All these leaves seem to have air and light so I don't see any reason to get rid of them yet. Averaging 60% rH and 74℉. Happy Valentine's day, everyone! 😍
February 15, 2021 (Week 5, Day 42): Plants were starting to stack leaves so I defoliated each plant today by taking the second nodes on the top and bottom sets of growth stems, leaving the left and right growth stems with all their nodes. After the haircut the plants look great. Medium is partly-dry. I'll let it go for another day and water tomorrow. I readjusted the LST by removing the first set of braces and adjusted each branch so it produces a completely flat canopy. So far Unknown 1 is the lankiest plant and is about half an inch ahead of the others. The growth I am seeing is amazing. The stems are very healthy as are the leaves. Seems to be growing about half and inch or so of stem per 24 hour period. This should mean one more week of veg and then I will switch to a 12/12 lighting cycle. Next week I'll let these plants grow vertically and Monday night (February 22) will be its first night of 12/12. I'll only change this plan if I don't see enough vertical growth. I am dealing with relatively limited space, so I have to make sure I keep these plants under control in anticipation for the flowering stretch. Gelato 1 is seriously starting to smell amazing - it is throwing 4-5 pre-flowers at every single node and it is filling my grow room with a sweet creamy scent. The other plants have pre-flowers as well but nothing to the extent of Gelato 1. Averaging 60% rH and 72℉. Because I am seeing drastically lower temperatures, I'll lower the humidity to 55% next week and keep it there until mid to late flower.
One more week of veg and onto the next adventure: flowering! So excited! See you next week! 👽

Day 120
The buds look dense and frosty, with swollen calyxes and visible trichome coverage-clear signs that the plant is nearing harvest. Some leaves are fading or curling slightly, which is normal at this stage as the plant directs its remaining energy into the buds. The environment appears stable, with reflective tent wo!!- controlled lighting, and monitoring equipment

Hey yall,
Temps were high, but under control now. My girls were droopy despite having moist soil. After a good compost tea they bounced right back.
Pistol hairs are showing, haven't grown this specific cultivar before so the bud structure is a but different than others I am familiar with. Let's see what she does moving forward.
I am not a super fan of these genetics. Already have new seeds I am ready to start once these ladies are done. Over all the Strawberry Diesel from Beaver Seeds is not a noob grow, you need to have your grow dialed in.
And really be careful with PM. I am keeping humidity as low as I cam while still maintaining a decent VPD.
Challenges with this strain definitely turns me off. Looking forward to a new cultivar, already have some genetics from Michigan, those cats are really something else, they are hellbent on being better than the West coast. And they are in my humble opinion 😌 ☺️
Pure Michigan looks good, also Honey Sticks Genetics out of Maine is killing it, their Bananaconda 4 tested over 40% total cannabinoids. They want like 3k per cut, so that won't be my next, but looking forward to new genetics nonetheless.
Anyways made some new ferments, remember to use equal parts organic sugar, Jaggery is best, that is the closest form of sugar to the sugar cane plant. Cover with paper towel, 2 to 3 days later let gravity give you all that juice, don't squeeze it to get more. Keep that juice in the fridge, that is your food. Then add water to the solids and keep at room temperature for 3 months to make a vinegar. That is your cleanser.
Ask questions please 🙏
Love to see others trying KNF, or simply put Natural Farming methods.

Flowering day 7
since time change
to 12/12 h.
Hey guys :-)
The flowering started last week because otherwise the space in the small tent would end up being too narrow :-)
Cuttings were taken from each phenotype beforehand.
To change the flower, I rinsed it very lightly with clean fruits.
With the next watering she gets a mix of grow liquid and bloom liquid before she only gets bloom.
The heating mat works perfectly in the small tent and the parameters are all in the optimal range 🙏🏻👍.
Now we hope that everything stays that way and that the cold days will slowly pass :-) .
Everything was cleaned and checked.
have fun and stay healthy 🙏🏻

11/9:
The first Blackberry (Halle Berry) is dry now and beginning to cure....will probably sample it tomorrow.😋
The next 5 that I harvested are drying in a dark room at 75f with 60% RH and minimal airflow.👍
The colas of the remaining 11 plants are now within 9 inches of the QB's....MAXIMUM PAR!
I've increased UVB exposure by an additional hour a day. I've got the portable AC on high and blowing across their tops, which is keeping the temp just below 80f on them...they should be just fine..👌
11/13:
I harvested the purple Wedding Cheesecake and all three Lemon Pies today.
11/15:
I flushed the last two orange sherbets for the second time, but with only a few gallons each...I flushed the last two wedding cheesecakes, and the 3 x gorilla cookies with 8 gallons each.

The end of the fourth week. Only 2,5 to 3 weeks to go, since this is the FAST version of Gelato 33 by Advanced seeds.
Last week temps were better, so that was a lot better to manage. The smell is a different story. We are trying to combat it as we speak with a double filter which my friend still had from a previous grow.
The ladies are performing, however, because this is a monstercrop with many budsites, none of them will be very big. We anticipate a lot of cutting come harvest time.
The stickieness and smell (cookies, dough, herbs, spices, gingerbread, vanilla) promise a lot to make up for that hopefully!!
The middle plant that seemed to go fastest, now looks like to have the hardest time flowering. Her more advanced stage of flowering as a bigger clone, made it harder for her to return to veg, which she never really did.
This seems to make her want to rush to the finish, as she is already browning the pistils. Also these buds seem more flakey, popcorny. As if the many flowers and grapelike bundled growth was too much for her.
I put the light a little closer, to help her fatten up in the time she is given. I never expected the two 'runts' to outperform the mighty middle clone, but hey seem to fatten up and age much more nicely.
So for now, prelimenary tip: make sure all your plants are completely revegged before flowering and consider that faster flowering species might have some ruderalis ancestry that might siderail all your lighting intentions and remains in flower what ever the growers lighting schedule.
So with at least two more weeks for the two outer plants, and well see how many for the middle one, we are going to make them as comfortable as possible the final push of this flowering.
Thank you for following and see you next week!!

------GENERAL COMMENT------
Girls are moving forward without troubles, i'm pleased not having to deal with issues.
I'm breaking down the feeding schedule like:
Sensi Base + Bigbud*(or pk booster) + Recharge > VeloKelp+Natures Candy+Bigbud*. So there is constant feed, every other day mixed in 1.5l water. Once a week i give Cal Mag 2ml /l.
Not touching the girls with any HST or stress since I switched to flower. Is the first time i'm running recharge from the beginning to the end, have to say that is solid.
------GG.AK47 COMMENT------
What a pleasure to see that many colas and a vibrant girl giving fruits! 😎👊 I'm very curious to see the results in this one, solid strain! Aroma is gasy and diesel like.

I found out that I have to go out of town when I had planned on harvesting. So I did it a few days early. This plant has been a blast to grow. I was a little worried at first because she just wouldn't put on any inches. The plant only reached about 12 inches in 2 months. However, after the that she grew like crazy. It could have been due to my inexperience. I guess we will have to see on the next grow. I still have 5 more seeds of this plant. She flowered in about 9 weeks. Big fat dense colas. The next time around I need to pay better attention to the little scrubby side shoots. There were a lot of them. I ended up with about 60 grams of larf because of it. I should have done a better job of defoliating before flower and I should have kept her colas clear of the dense foliage. Having said that, she turned out a ton of bud!
Wet weight count:
Clone 1 - 179g
Clone 2 - 163g
Mother - 586g
Total - 994g
I will come back next week and update this with some more pictures and final dry weight.000

5/3 Week 6
Last day for Grow nuets looks like stretch is stopping. Will confirm in the AM.
Also be ending the round of PK tomorrow.
Lights at full power and set to @16 inches to start.
Leaving the MH bulb in place a couple of weeks
Very light defoliation just to keep middle of the plants open, this strain does not need much at all.
5/4
Ending Grow nuets as stretch is playing out so no further need of the Nitrogen, lot in the pot still.
Last day for the PK on this go round.
Next time we grow this strain going to look at alternate methods of training, FIM is the likely candidate.
5/5 Back down to just Bloom A/B nuets
Stretch slowing down as Baba and Sally reach the same height as Athena that started first.
Everybody seems happy even the little one
5/6
Moved up the lights, was seeing some light stress on the girls, leaf praying.
Bumping up the Bloom nuets for now see how it goes, getting close to next round of PK booster waiting for the cotton balls to develop sufficiently.
Gave all a shot of Fish Sh!T this morning 4ml/gal.
Pretty much all of it
5/7
Pics
Raised lights further still have some praying leaves.
Tomorrow should be PK day as the cotton balls should be formed by then.
5/8
Looks like the last the stretch has finally ended on Baba, thought she was going to be a good kind of problem but didnt have to raise the lights today so there is that.
Have to be careful with these lights and watch for light stress more diligently than I have so far.
HID at 600w is 17 inches above the rear plants, TS at 150W is 18 inches above the tallest front plant(Sally), seems to be working.
Added KoolBloom back into the feed, 2ml/gal, the buds have become little cotton balls so its time.
Cleaned up the lower end of the plants, was getting snaky down there.
5/9
pics
Ending the week by doing a little bending on the tallest branches on Baba, they were a full two inches higher than any other.
She is still growing a little but nothing to really notice.

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.

Inicio de semana tranquila.
Final de semana tocaria poda de bajos y de chupópteros pero se dejó para el siguiente dia, dia 22 .
Da gusto cultivar semillas bien estabilizadas, que todas parezcan sacadas de un mismo patron como si fueran estas esquejes de una misma madre. Me encanta xd. Por ahora un crecimiento muy parejo, veremos si seguiran igual de parejas a partir de la poda de hojas y chupópteros que hay que hacerles.
