ROYAL QUEEN SEEDS - Blue Gelato - 80 days Today marks 80 days of growth for Blue Gelato from Royal Queen Seeds. She’s been flowering for 32 days and looks absolutely fantastic! The buds keep swelling, and the leaves remain a rich, healthy green. Trichomes densely cover the buds, creating a stunning crystal-like effect, promising a powerful outcome at harvest. Her aroma is getting stronger each day, and I’m sure the taste will be just as impressive. We’re still feeding her Xpert Nutrients, and the results speak for themselves — everything is on track, and the harvest is looking very promising!

Week 3! Things are moving so fast! I've had a busy week so did not get around to order nutrients. For all my worries, she seems to do just fine without them. I do not want to get over confident though. Gotta get on it! I was tempted to top her or start doing LST since she is growing so well, but decided against it because I want to let her grow naturally. This is my first grow, so best see what happens to a plant in spacebucket conditions without interference. Learn from that and experiment later on. Plus I feel that patience and restraint are key to completing a successful first grow. -On topping autos: I've read that autos should never be topped. This might have been true in the past. From what I've read new strains are more stable and can be topped without problems if the plant is growing well. (3-4 nodes by end of week 2) This allows her to recover before going into flowering. Despite her being only 10cm tall her leafs span nearly 27cm! Auto Tutankhamon is basically AK-47 (stativa) with ruderalis so I was expecting a rather tall plant. On day 16 she started showing her first pistils! 😍

Maybe this is last week for this plants 👌

The ladies are starting to stretch and flower. We also did a defoliation and lollipop session at the end of week 2 flower. Canopy and bud sites look good and are a plenty. Looking forward to next couple of weeks.

Definitely try again this strain amazing 🤩💨💨💚

So finally this week the plan was looking strong enough to be trained, initially I've lift the plant from his seedling bed, i moved her more on the side of the tent to have more space to bend her and give more open space to the lowest branch, after just 12 hours the plant was already fighting the training pointing the top cola to the closest source of light

17.06.26 So Woche 21 Veg startet alles sieht top aus Die Dünger gabe gestern und heute hat echt was gebracht sind sofort dunkler geworden mit mineralischen Dünger geht das fix mit bio Dünger würde das min 1 Woche dauern bis man eine Verbesserung feststellt 18.06.26 Top nur das verfluchte Wetter 19.06.26 Regen und die Dünger gabe hat was gebracht sehen jetzt noch besser aus als vorher 20.06.26 Mehr Regen und heiß ist es Pflanzen sehen bombe aus die mögen den Regen guter PH die sehen so vital aus schönes Grün nur GDP sie ist eine hungrige und groß ist sie in ihren 15L mit ein bisschen mehr Dünger kann man die bestimmt noch weiter pushen wenn das so weiter geht und im September Mal mehr die Sonne raus kommt wird das eine Bomben Ernte Peace 🏻 21.06.26 Läuft 22.06.26 Wetter ist mal Bombe und soll noch heißer werden Morgens gegossen und nachmittags nachhause gekommen und alles hing hoffe nur das bleibt jetzt so 23.06.26 Letzter Tag der Woche alles super Wetter ist Bombe was will man mehr hab die ganzen kleinen Triebe die nicht genug Licht abbekommen haben und nicht mit dem canopy mithalten entfernt und entblättert kurz vor der blühte werde ich nochmals entblättern damit das Licht tiefer in die Pflanze kommt damit die nodien Licht bekommen und die Pflanzen Zeit haben sich zu regenerieren die sollen kein Stress in der blühte haben.Achso 1-2 kleine Triebe wurden gelassen die später bestäubt werden sollen falls ich ein Männchen finde bis jetzt hatte ich Pech 5 von 5 sind weiblich aber ich bin guter Dinge

Hi people. Week 2 of vegetation going on, everything is great at this point, the ladies are very strong e almost ready to start the LST Training. Good week to everyone. :-) Cheers!

This week was solid again. I’m monitoring the two back plants in slightly smaller pots as they are using much less water right now and are also a few days in growth behind their sisters in the larger pots. Very happy with the growth but I wanted to test the plants tolerance to the light at 36” above the canopy. I simply placed 12” pots under each of them rather than lower the light as I have it in a fixed position right now at the very top of the tent. Plants are responding well...or at least there is no negative response as they are still growing very 💪. I am constantly LST’ing in order to keep the canopy low and flat. The Durban’s are only at 10” and the Cali’s are at 13”. I broke one top on the Cali Haze but I grafted it back on with some on hand electrical tape. These girls are much tougher to keep low than the Durban’s so I need every branch! Bumped their feed up to an EC of 1.4 and will continue to increase this week to see how they respond. So far there is no signs of leaf burn. I’ve pre programmed my entire grow with spectrum changes during their transitions and such but i went with a 5 week veg and I’m almost contemplating flipping them after week 4? Anyone else grow 4 plants in a 5x5 tent before? If so, how long did you veg for? I need to keep them fairly low as they are both sativas and will stretch a fair amount and I want to hammer them with UVB at the end but California Lightworks suggests a minimum distance of 24” be maintained between plants And UVB lights.

Thought she was finally done last week, but I took the advice of some very helpful growmies and gave her another 10 days. Trichomes are cloudy, and some of the top buds have started to foxtail. I usually look forward to harvesting but this one is bittersweet.

well we are through the stretch and fully into the flower now. They look really nice, I hope I have enough P and K in the soil, I may need a Banana tea halfway through but only time will tell.

End of the 1st week of Flower and things are going great. Not much to say, just budding along nicely. Any questions just ask guys. Can't wait to see how the buds produce. Happy Growing guys

Some leaves got burnt but everything is good, just flipped to 12/12. I think the pH down is causing the leaves to burn or maybe my pH pen is not working properly (I've already calibrated it) so I'll stop adjusting pH, in the next couple of days there should be some pistils. I wanted to let them grow for around 9 weeks but I think they'll grow too tall for my tent. Forgot to add that I kinda supercropped one of them because I didn't want to defoliate anymore.

Day 83: After being in the dark for like 4-7 days, they where ready to harvest. All plants getting cut by the machine, big buds are cut by hand. I never weight wet buds because that doesnt make any sence. I will update soon on how much it is dry weight. My friend helped me with the harvest since it takes many hours of work. I have many buds that are as big or bigger as my hand. Quallity so far looks promising even thought there are shitty buds as well, but thats normal and oke. They have been cut freshly so I won't lose much weight when cutting. This will happen when cutting dry buds. The remaining small leafs on the wet buds will dry in with the buds and will be barely visible. More info soon.

17 Febuary Flowering is well underway, with vigorous pistil development. The plants don't show any major deficiencies, and I'm pleased to see that my soil is stable! I'm no longer adding fertilizer at this stage; I simply water, adding BioEnhancer once every two weeks. The microbes and organic matter in the soil do the rest. 💪

tallos gruesos, hojas grandes y buen riego, coloque música para estimular la floración, musica con ondas binaurales, no se si funcione pero dicen que ayuda, es un spa para plantas
