'Gelato OG' by Seedsman

I wanted to make this one short, but there are some details I'd like to get into with Gelato and curious if this was seen with other Seedsman's Gelatos (Let me know if it reminds me of your pheno, thanks!). This one is a little better with time stamps and this is Day 16 of Bloom w/ Gelato OG. The Deets: The Good: -I'm happy in general. She went from a scary start to a seemingly vigorous and happy gal when that switch was flipped. Though I feel she's kinda weird, I don't feel there is anything unhealthy or detrimental going on, just oddities and new things I haven't seen before. -She is shedding very, very well and is getting stickier then all others. Most impressed with her early Terpene Profile. It's frigging berries man, and strong right off the hop. She is easily winning the terpene war in the FM8 tent and it's a wall of fruit when I open the tent now. That's just dandy and more then welcome👌 The 'Meh': -So ya, there are meh's but I don't feel it's anything really bad... Her foliar is still more faded and discolored then the other girls. This has been a consistency with her since the beginning and even N/K/Mag foliar sprays didn't help too, too much. She got better, but still appeared faded like light stress. It's definitely not the lamp(s) as I've dropped their intensity over a period of days, with new growth still coming in with lack of chlorophyll. Somethings going on in the medium, but I'm not sure what. -This will sound stupid: She is very strong but very weak and fragile. When she's good, she holds well, but any deviation from the plan or a high/low in the tent and she will start to fall apart on me. Super sensitive and picked up some early pistil browning too (paranoid the crap out of me...watching close). This and a few of her tops seem to be quite heavy with pistils looking matted down. Even with Defo, airflow, reduced light and spacing, this hasn't changed. I'm a little confused as to what she wants, exactly and have been spending a lot of time trying to find her sweet spot. When I do, it lasts for a day or two before she's pissed off again. Idk man, I think she's fine but this does throw me off a bit. Entering Week 5 of bloom now and figured if she was going to hermie she'd have done that by now, or at least shown some signs... But no balls or nanners, just a weird ass pheno. Notes of the Week: -It was near the end of this week that the FloraMax8 came in from FuturVert and I was able to make some moves and changes to accommodate QS's ridiculous growth rate. She is now on her own under a single SF-2000 in her own tent, dead center. Pretty much tapped out the buffer space with the lamp so the dimmable SF is being used at 65% and 45K Lux at 16-20" above canopy. -MS, Glookies and Gelato have all been moved over to FuturVert tent now and am currently running 65% at 45-50K Lux (I know lux isn't a hard/good read, it's just all I got and I use it as a benchmark). I feel I've dialed in the light but not the environment in the new unit, just yet. -Not too happy with my Inkbird automation right now. Devices were calibrated but fell out of whack. Two devices side by side will have a literal 3-4 degree Celsius difference and that's just not cool... These are now being used as benchmarks too and I've kinda gone back to manual acclimation to cover my ass. I see that I need something more accurate so I can actually walk away and be comfortable with the device(s) readings. That's just not the case right now. Looking at TrolMaster as a new means of control and automation. -When I get busy in other areas of my life, even if it pertains directly to cannabis, I tend to lose sight of my own projects and make mistakes. This has been happening again and I'm taking a step back for a bit to focus on what's important. I want/need my medicine and would like to pay a little attention to my end of things before over-stepping again. I'm an obsessive fella and can fall down rabbit holes very quickly. When my focus drops it takes time to get it back and it would be best to stop doing this, lol! I'm good, girls are good, current schedules are good, just see the writing on the wall and know where I'm heading if I don't buck up. -Have a little project for an EggHunters challenge w/ a Skunk #1. It's, ahhhh, not going too well😂. She's 14 days old and looks great today, but I stunted the crap out of her and she's maybe 6 days old looking. Have three weeks of Veg before I have to flip for the contest rules and I really don't know what to expect. Just for funsies👍 *FuturVert FM8 Update (Power-Point)*: -Stupid powerful lamp man. Going from 240W SF's to a massive 660W FSG is a game changer and I have to be careful with this. Running at 24 inch buffer at 65% and this is achieving the 45K+ Lux rating in and by itself. -This lamp is one of the first test models with WiFi Dimming using ZigBee Ports and controls App. This may be a feature and integral in future, but for now it's not within the system and part of my job is to run some tests to ensure there aren't any issues. So, Day 11 (Jan 29th at time of typing) of running this girl and I've had zero issues....well, a couple, but it was my input errors and lack of reading instructions! 😂 -With WiFi Control I may set the lamp intensity, on/off times, fade in's and outs (Sunset/Sunrise), Alarms, special schedules and even frigging monitor power draw and savings by plugging in your kWh rates... I had no idea it had this much going on with it and I thought this was all just for dimming. Nope, it does a lot of fun things😄. I can even make it dance and should take a video of it running it's calibration test, lol. It's fun to stare at and play with. -So, Zero issues, plants are praying, no fade or light damage and it doesn't put out much heat at all. I don't have an IR gun but can see that this 660 puts out about as much BTU's as a single 240W SF. No fans or anything, just well engineered heat sinks to pull any heat up and away from the board. More then impressed. -Will post actual listed specs next update if you'd all like to see them. This is getting long, however, and I'll stop here. Cheers all and thanks for stopping by to check this girl out. I'm not worried about her, but am being vigilant for now. She has been fickle since the get-go, so I suppose her being as healthy as she is, is a win👍. Hope you all have a gooder and I'll see you later. Enjoy those puffs and Happy Frigging new year. As far as I'm concerned 2020 is over😅. Rain or shine, 2021 will be a better year. Ignore all the crap and just plug along, be happy and avoid the chaos. Taking me far too long to realize none of this is worth the anxiety and maybe some ignorance is bliss, hahaha. Peace folks! I'm rambling today, so thanks for listening to that😀 *Friendly reminder* If you have noticed similar traits with your Gelato OG from Seedsman, please don't hesitate to send me a message and let me know if I'm doing something wrong with her, or if this is just kinda her nature. I don't know and am just curious on what to expect in the coming weeks. If you feel somethings off and she needs isolation, let me know asap. Thank you and Cheers🙏
