Sneak peek before cure 👀 just realised I forgot to upload a chop update so I’ll have to see if I’ve got any photos to get that update posted 💨 (posted😎) Click to see the rundown ⏬ Super juicy 💧 Pungent citrus/sweet coffee 🤤 Very strong, quick & smooth hitting cerebral high followed by a nice body high that holds a very nice balance, perfect for getting stuff done as much as it is for chilling out in the evening 🛋️ All in all a good grow with great results 🫡 need to get some equipment in now for more indoor grows but an outdoor may be lurking 🐊 Thanks for all the help and pointers growmies and a special mention to @rastaman 2.0 for his help and inputs too 🤌 watching over like a guardian angel 🪽😂

CHOP UPDATE… Here’s some pictures from chop day she was definitely ready, the results = 🤯🔥💨.

5 months ago

Midway through her flush now 🙃 pretty damn happy with how she’s done for my second one. Gave a little defol to the leaves that were dying back and plan to chop in less than a week 🤞😎🔥 (Week16/Day1)(Week12/Day1OfFlower)

We try not to use flash around here but scroll to the end (Buds messed with my order again so it’s second to last 💨) for a flash photo of a juicy lower bud 👀😎 Not much to report back on, trundling across that finish line like a true champ. Never did manage to totally stop the deficiency/imbalance but we worked with it the best we could and made it, still putting the auto AK to shame though 🤣🤤 (Week15/1Day)(Week11/1DayOfFlower)

6 months ago

Getting closer and closer to crossing that line 🪖 approx 2/3 of pistils browned off. I’ll try to get some close ups of the trichs soon 🔍 no monster again but a monster in comparison to the first run, with the progress I’ve seen she’s been worth every penny and second spent. Out of Bio-Bizz Top max now, going with different products for the next 👀 Please excuse her war wounds and scars she’s had less attention over the last week or two and it’s shows but she’s still doing her thing 😎 (Week14/5Days)(Week10/5DaysOfFlower)

Getting closer and closer… another slow one 🏄‍♂️ Wish I could picture the smell and share it with you guys 🔥 (Week13/3Days)(Week9/3DaysOfFlower)

The end is near ⏳👀 Water and light defol 🌱💦 (Week12/2days)(Week8/2daysOfFlower)

Well, she’s no show winner but in comparison to my first run she’s smashed it 💯😎 pistils starting to brown off now on the natural ‘main’ cola so I’d imagine the others won’t be too far behind 🔥 the smell she’s pumping out at the moment is insane too 😅

7 months ago

If at first you don’t succeed (or atleast very well 😎😂) don’t forget it’s on you to make the next attempt better, after comparing the two in my last post I wanted to show the change in plants. One grow apart, by no means has she gone perfectly but she’s done hell of a lot better 💯 That’s the Gelato at a day off week 12 in comparison to the auto AK at week 13. However the AK was a beautiful smoke so that might have to make a comeback in new conditions 🔥💨 I can’t quite compare them plant for plant as the AK was quite a blind run with defoliation only & one feed, on minimal spare time and a very basic setup whereas the gelato has had plenty of attention, LST, defoliation, better lighting, better airflow, better feeds and a more streamlined life 🤝

Gaining weight 🍽️🙏

Well well well… didn’t realise I’d been sleeping on the journal, have a rough one from yesterday. Upload coming later 👀

7 months ago

Nearly missed the 20th, posted at 23:59 💯😂 She’s doing alright not too much activity just mellowing up. The smell… pungent is one way to describe it 🔥 I take it back, just done a week 10 to week 11 comparison and she’s definitely putting good weight on 😎 (Week11)(Week7OfFlower)

7 months ago

No update yesterday as it was my birthday so daytime was for the family & the evening was for smoking 💯😎 still swelling, pistils look as though they’re on their way to starting the colour change to amber soon too. Might feed today, might feed tomorrow. We’ll see how she is when I get home later 💯😎 UPDATE: I fed today 💪 EDIT: forgot to upload square pictures and one landscape pic messed up the rest hence the strange looking angles 🤣

7 months ago

Well… she’s definitely pulling on through everything despite small issues here and there. Kinda glad I’ve had issues towards the end and I’ve been able to gain more knowledge 🧠 light distance increased slightly again yesterday, watered 1L 3/4 strength nutes today, final week of feed and flush starts next weekend… hopefully 🤞

7 months ago

She’s doing alright, dropped her down a touch more to see if I can get the browning to back off, possible light stress 🤷‍♂️ holding off on water until tomorrow now

7 months ago

She’s definitely started bulking up 💪 gonna be sad to see her go now 😅 watering tomorrow I think, just hoping she fills as many gaps as possible.

1L Calmag & PH Water 💦 doing well, humidifier is pulling the RH down really well so the rooms now closed off (53% when I checked earlier). Fan turned off for a few hours to allow her to rest for a little bit, I feel like that can’t hurt much. Gave her a heavier defol too as she was getting way too overcrowded and with humidity levels just being corrected I didn’t want to risk any chance of mould, rot etc. 🤷‍♂️ EDIT: 2L fed as I want to get some run off to test soil PH and ppms (Week10)(Week6OfFlower)

7 months ago

Steady going at the moment, still some leaf browning coming through but fresh growth seems green and healthy. Calmag may have arrived just in time, fingers crossed that sorts it, 1L of plain Ph water & calmag tomorrow again 🙏 Gave her a little trim yesterday and took off some of those more over-towering fan leaves but I’m waiting for her to be back healthy for sure before giving her a slightly heavier and final defoliation 😬 I finally have a proper Dehumidifier in my arsenal too, humidity down to 57/58% already🤞

7 months ago

Calmag arrived today 😎🥳 fed 1L with no run off, may give her a top up tomorrow we’ll see 🧐 seeming healthier again, a few pale brown spots coming through but I think they’re scabs from smaller spots that are just coming through from affected areas as she shakes it off. Overall pretty happy, I do want to get a defol/prune in though. What are people’s opinions on trimming autos in flower ? 👀👂

7 months ago

🌴🌴 Held off on watering as calmag should arrive tomorrow 🤞 soil was still fairly moist so I’m not too worried 💯

7 months ago

Marching on and praying 🙏 taking the 1L feeds like an absolute champ, might be time to up her water soon 🥸 Calmag should be here tomorrow if there’s no delay with shipping 🥳 EDIT: there was a delay with shipping, who’d be stupid enough to think something would go to plan 🤷‍♂️😂

7 months ago

Definitely back on track now, Calmag is in transit & I raised the light a little more to see how she reacts 👨‍🔬 building up the trichs now and had another 1L of PH water today. Zero run off 🔥

7 months ago

She’s pulled that dark green back like a champ on her own with the plain PH water, back to praying too 🫡 very happy I popped the gelato seed now after seeing other diaries, she was meant to be the bonus bean 😎😂 Calmag still not arrived 🙃

7 months ago

Got treated to 1L of plain PH water, seems to be happy with it and coming around. Itching for the calmag to arrive 😂 might treat her to a light dose of feed with the next watering 🤷‍♂️👀 (Week9)(Week5OfFlower)

8 months ago

😴😴 Waiting on a delivery of cal mag, may have been lured into changing nute brands too 🧐 Plain PH water until then though. Maybe half dose of nutes in a week or so if she bounces back with the cal mag 👀

8 months ago

So after last nights questioning I decided to take off a few of those larger leaves and open up the lower canopy a little 😬 only 7 large and damaged leaves removed in total so I’ve got faith in her to just brush it off and power on. Watering with plain water today with less than 1/4 strength nutes as she’s showing slight signs of nute burn on the tips and I’d rather under feed than burn her totally so a quick little break wont hurt much 😎🤷‍♂️

8 months ago

Still happy with how she’s doing, just hoping she stretches some of those lower bud sites up 😬 how far into flower do you guys still de-foliate/prune ? was debating trimming a few larger leaves to open up more opportunity for those lower sites but wanted to leave her as much as possible this time round 🙏 raised the light again as she’s still creeping a little bit but she’s definitely slowed down a lot 👊

8 months ago

Forgot to upload yesterday, trooping on, need to raise the lights again but she’s starting to stack now, todays pictures later (photos from the 2nd may/day 64)👀🔥

8 months ago

Starting to see frost 😎🔥 she’s just marching on, realised earlier that I’ve been pushing her nute-wise as far as the instructions go but she’s taken it like a champ so I’m going to stick as I am and give it a week or two before going full dose on the top-max… unless I’m certain she’ll take it. Scroll to the last photo for a closer bud site peek 👀

8 months ago

She loves bedtime 😂😎 definitely a solid difference between morning and night time photos. She’s doing good, seems like the stretch is slowly coming to a halt now and the sites seem to be beginning their growth now a little more 🔥🫡 she’s doing me proud, think we’ll see trich’s within a week now 🍄‍🟫

8 months ago

BONUS GAME: scroll to the *second to* last photo and have a game of spot the war wounds 🤣👊🔥 Still mega happy with how she’s doing and now having a little laugh about my little fuck ups I’ve had along the way with this one lol. Took another 1L last night like a champ, 0 run off ✅ *- bud messing with my upload order 😂 (Week8)(Week4OfFlower)

8 months ago

Still going on strong, gonna give her another 1L feed tonight. Feel like the stretch will come to a stop in a week max 🤷‍♂️ loads of sites thickening up with pistils and getting a baby bulge to them now 😎🔥 Think we’ll start seeing trich’s soon 👀

8 months ago

Had another 1L today, barely any run off again she’s just drinking like a champ but I did leave it an extra day this time to let the pot dry through 🌴 pruned a couple of lower branches & leaves that were just wasted energy to try and focus more up into her main sites and canopy. Other than that it’s pretty good going 💨 On another note I dropped my PH tester in my water last night so I’ve got a new one on the way with a PPM tester too so we can start fine tuning that little bit extra 😎 also kinda regretting not scrogging her, think that’s next on the list for future experiments 👀

8 months ago

Took another 1L of water like a champ. Massive droop on tonight (after photos were taken) as we’re heading to bed time 😂. Bulking up on bud sites nicely now too 👀

🚀🚀 (Week7)(Week3OfFlower)

8 months ago

🌴🌴 Feel silly for worrying about the gelato and her incident yesterday, she’s straightened back out and soldiering on only showing damage on a few leaf tips 😎 still pretty happy with how she’s doing. Swallowed another 1L of feed today (Bio-bloom 4ml/L & Top-Max upped to 3ml/L) And for those that read this far, HAPPY 420 🥳🔥💨

8 months ago

Wanted to post today to look back at day by day progress because I’m noticing her get bigger and stronger each day 👊 I did make a baby fuck up and knocked my thermometer/hygrometer making it fall, hit the “main” cola on its way down so I checked for breaks and she seems fine, the only damage seemed to be a little baby leaf. Going to keep an eye on that area of plant over the next few weeks to make sure it doesn’t hermie or anything 😒🧐

8 months ago

🚂🚂 feels like she’s storming along rn, I also feel like she’s smashing the AK (my first grow) out of the park 🥲😂definitely upgrading on space before the next one but we move past that and work with what we’ve got for now.

Cruising after her prune the other day. Filled out nicely again and those sites are starting to get fatter and develop 🥳 Happy I trimmed what I did as I feel like I can leave her be now and she should be pretty happy. Swallowed 1L yesterday with about 20ml of run-off 😅 (Week6)(Week2OfFlower)

8 months ago

Gave her a pruning and took off her larger and oldest fan leaves that were blocking light from fresh sites, looks like I barely touched it. (Of course the most impressive are now being pressed ready for my second photo frame 🖼️) Also adjusted some branches a little that were poking above the canopy. 🌸 My fan has arrived too so I’ve now got a gentle breeze flowing around too which should help strengthen those stems & branches a little more and help keep any moisture problems at bay, I’ve noticed a few patches where leaves have been very close together and have sweated, my logic being that if the airs moving atleast it’s got more chance of evaporating 💨

8 months ago

Pistils everywhere 😎🔥 Really happy with how she’s doing but she is at max size now, only a little wiggle room so I’m going to have to trim back and restrict her as I have nowhere else for her to go 🥲

8 months ago

Going for a bit of a different post today as she’s quite happy and there’s not much to update. Temps are now at 19.5C & 65%RH that’s about it 🥳 First picture is the current gelato grow on day 41 & the second picture is the auto AK on day 42 in the same pot on my first grow, LST has definitely made a difference but I’m now quite a bit happier with how the gelato is doing, nice hand sized leaves are forming all over with ease and she’s got a nice happy trunk too 😎🔥 (yes it’s a spare wardrobe grow😂) Main difference between the two is the enclosed environment and better lighting. The knowledge that came from the AK grow also worked wonders

8 months ago

Filling out nicely now, pistils a nice size at all sites now too. Getting excited 🥳😎 (Week5Day1)(Week1Day1OfFlower)

8 months ago

Really noticing growth on a daily basis now. She’s happy and plodding along, humidity keeps spiking so I need to figure out a way to keep that consistent but other than that her temps, PH, water/feed are all keeping her happy 😀😎 (Week5 tomorrow)

8 months ago

Time to sit back and let her do her thing 😎😬 one branch had damaged a while back and as it grew it made the split bigger so I cut it as it had already half healed and I felt like taping and repairing would’ve taken more energy than letting her heal half a wound. Pretty happy for my second plant I can’t lie 🔥

8 months ago

Loads of pistils coming through now, all of the main branches are now tipped with pistils at their nodes which I’m going to say is a good indicator the LST has worked its magic pretty damn well. Can’t wait to see how she ends up but I am noticing the explosive growth now when I come back from work. The smell is also starting to build up 🔥

9 months ago

🌸🌸 Gave her another quick feed today, emptied the bottle so it’s onto bio-bloom & top max now, started off with 1ml of top max and then I’ll raise it up to two ml on the next mix and then ramp up to 4ml/L Bio-Bloom : 4ml/L Top max : 1ml/L

9 months ago

Well it’s time to sit back and let her do her thing, scroll to the end for fresh baby pistils 🥺 regretting some choices but the final LST adjustments have been made, all I’ll do from here is trim a leaf here or there and maybe adjust or remove branches if absolutely necessary. Feel like we might be mid-first to second week in flower 🤷‍♂️

9 months ago

Keep on scrolling 🚶‍♂️ no real news. Pretty happy with the trunk she’s getting, seems to be strengthening all over pretty well. The Canopy is starting to level now, I think she’ll jump into stretch soon, feels like the calm before the storm atm 😎

9 months ago

Going strong and bouncing back after her light pruning the other day 😎 one leaf looking a tad funky but it can stay until it’s affected by an issue or until the plant starts reaching around that way and it gets covered 🌱 happy growing guys (Week4)

9 months ago

Early update today as I won’t be back til late, took off that fan leaf that was shading the centre canopy and a few other leaves that were stopping light getting to the fresh growth. 😎 Will most likely start tying down the other branches to level out growth as I go along and they breach the plants general height.

9 months ago

Yo growmies! Really happy with how she’s done so far, super trooping through it all 👏🏻 just upped her dosage and now have her on full strength nutes and added a second tie so she’s now level, thinking of trying to get as much of a circle as possible on this one but we’ll see how she does, super trunk compared to the Auto AK 😎 there’s a couple of sad looking leaves but they should bounce back okay I think she’s gotten a tad thirsty 🌱 happy growing Bio-bloom : 4ml/L

9 months ago

What’s up guys ? Just wondering what your general rules of thumb are for defoliating, say bye bye once they’re hand sized or ? 🧐 She’s bounced back well after her good drench earlier 😎

9 months ago

Still plodding on, probably gonna put her onto her full dose of bio-bloom tomorrow 🌱

9 months ago

Looking happy and adjusting to the LST 😊 (Week3)

9 months ago

Trying something a little different with this run 👀 Just doing the math and she’s been getting roughly 100ml of water per day as it works out, does this seem about right to you guys ?

9 months ago

Still plodding on 🚶🏽🚶🏽 Bio-Bloom : 3ml/L

9 months ago

🛳️🛳️ Definitely think going for the larger pot was the better idea, had doubts with growth but looking at the previous journal entry she’s still growing happy. Barely any shock with this one between transplants which I found strange 🤔 (Week2/Day2)

9 months ago

Pretty smooth sailing, she’s in her final home now. Regretting not just going straight in with this one but oh well hopefully she’ll be okay 🤷‍♂️😅 1/5 perlite, 1/5 vermiculite & 3/5 potting comp. Regular old soil on top

9 months ago

Fed with half strength nutes and she seems to have bounced right back, grown loads today and the colour in the fresh growth seems more promising too 😎 Third nodes making their way through too 🥳 Bio-Bloom : 2ml/L

9 months ago

What’s up growmies ? Plant growth seems to be doing well but I’m not liking these pale veins… any input ? Maybe under watering ? Surely she can’t be ready to start feeding ? Waters been PH’d since it germinated so I can rule out a PH problem, I will check the soil PH this evening though 🌱🤝

9 months ago

Seems to be doing well after transplant, just want her to start pushing more leaves through now 🔥 Popped the surface on day 6 so really she’s on day 7 I just start my journals from the day I wet the seed 🌱 (Week1)

9 months ago

Moved her into her next pot as the roots had already started reaching out 💪 looking a little sad but I did also drop her a couple of inches when I was transplanting 😢

9 months ago

Next set making their way through 🥹 seems to be easy cruising with this one so far maybe a tad wet & humid but nothing that can’t be fixed 🌱 I’ll leave the lid off for today and see if she perks up

9 months ago

Grown loads in the last day! Safe to say she’s out and even poking that second set through 😎🌱

9 months ago

She’s getting bigger 🥹🥳 still no special treatment just chilling under the grow light with a little lid to keep her warm

She’s out and alive! Felt like such a long wait 😂 Cleaned that little spill up too 😎

Taproot had emerged a mm or two so into soil it’s gone 🥳 After leaving the last one to grow a lengthy taproot and it failing I’ve gone off the idea of letting them emerge too much so wanted to try getting this one in earlier like the first run 😎

Hey everyone! It’s been a little while but I’m back with a bit of hope and spring in my step. Let there be life! Fingers crossed 🤞 Small seedling grow light and pots set up and ready for when she pops.
