I had to raise her along with the both GDP's, 1 Purple Punch, and 1 Wedding Cake. The indica side is showing on those so I went out to the dollar store, picked up some baskets that would raise them high enough and fit the rockwool. Drilled a bunch of holes on the bottom of the baskets for drainage, flipped them over and put them under the plants that I had to raise up. Works perfect, raised everything up 6".

Super nice. Gelato isn't as fast of a veg grower as the rest eh? Good to know. Red dragon grows with some vigor for sure. I got a decent grow space to work with right now so I'm trying to get mine about two feet or maybe a little more depending, before I flip her into flower. Yours are looking real nice man. Really can't wait to see how it all turns out for sure. When you are done and mines done eventually, we can compare our barneys farm strains. I might grow red dragon again depending how she turns out at the end. She grows strong and seems resistant to mistakes, feeds well and grows for sure. Good branching too.

Had to pull another Purple Punch, bitch started throwing nanners :wall:. Hopefully the rest stay female. Now I'm down to 14 plants.

Daaamn. What's been stressing it? Stress can cause it too. Heat? Ph fluxing to much maybe? Or maybe breeder? Who is it by again?

Maybe stressing from lack of co2 maybe? Lacking a nutrient of some sort? Not sure what to make of it as your grow looked quite nice thus far.

Depending.. If it's not genetics, and it's isolated spots on it, maybe you can get away with chopping a branch instead of tossing a plant? Isolate it n see if that works maybe?

My buddy breed it, I had a feeling I would get one of those. He doesn't have the Purple Punch stable enough yet. 50/50 on the 6 I sprouted out of them. I still got a lot more of those seeds to mess with

Gave the girls a flush last night, I'll be mixing up a batch of week 4 nutrient solution and will feed them tonight.
Ph, ppm, temps, and humidity have all been perfect.

Day 22 of Flower
Had to dump out the nutrient solution I just mixed up because I added a wrong nutrient and at that too much of it. So I mixed up another batch and I'm good to go. Plants look good, pH is at 6, PPM is at 1300, RT 77°F, and RH 55%. I might do I final light defoilating again this weekend. Had to raise my light again, if I want to go any further I'll have to flip the ballast like I did on my last grow. After this grow is over I'll be building a 9'x11' room in my garage, and then inside that room I'll build a 6'x7' Flower room and a 3'x3' Veg room. Once I do that I'll have no issue with light hiegth like I do with my tent.

Day 30 of Flower
It's been a busy week for me, so here's what's been going on. One of my Wedding Cakes has leaves curling on the very top, I need to look into that and 3 other Wedding Cakes just won't stop growing, I didn't want to supercrop this late into flower like I did on the last crop so I've been trying to LST. But when I tie down one branch, the next day another is shooting up. I'm starting to get a feeling that anything with Girl scouts cookies in it is a 200% stretcher. I had to rotate my ballast on my hood so I can gain another 6" of space to raise my light. Still waiting for the smell on some of the plants, but the GDP is smelling so good, it reminds of the old school purple smell we had back in the early 2000's.

Did my last defoilating to all the plants and man what a difference. I also did more of an inspection on the one Wedding Cake that had the curling leaves and deformed buds growing and I found nanners.:wall: So I chopped it down, bagged it, and threw it out. Very disappointing.

The blue gelato doesn't look like it's a big yielder compared to the others lol. But damn. First thing I notice is how thick it's stalk is though eh. Same on my red dragon. Seems they all end up like mini tree trunks lol. Nice job so far. Sorry to hear a out the wedding cake though :( that's unfortunate entirely

The Blue Gelato is growing nice and stout, it can probably use another 1 or 2 in veg to get a bigger plant, but it's not much of a stretcher in flower, perfect for SOG. Trichomes are finally starting to appear on it. I have a feeling I'll be happy with the final product though.

Real nice man real nice. Looks very healthy. Yeah very similar in structure to red dragon. Neat. I'm working on prepping my area for flowering tonight. I'll probably just end up flipping it tomorrow or the day after but. May as well get er going asap right. Man your gelato swole right up eh? Nice golf balls starting for sure!
