Nice color bro. Looks fire.

I hope mine turns color before harvest but it's really hot here. Air conditioner is keeping everything in check

 

[Dub_City405]

Always gotta get the most AC. I always upsize. If I wanted to have heat problems I'd just grow outside to be honest. I like my diamonds fresh and icy crisp cold. Seems to be way more fire than some stuff I grow outdoors.

As for color ya that was my little setup I need to add more watts and a UV and some blue light gotta figure it out. I wired 4 custom lights together they specialized in deep red so I was checking them out and didn't disappoint. Need more blue supplement at the end of flower to change up the color.

Starting week 6 of flower

Temps 79 to 72F
Humidity 45 to 50%

She's in midflower. Buds are fattening up each week.

Although the pistils look better this week.
I put her on top of a bucket so she gets lots of light because my Sativa got really tall.

No issues with her. Everything is good to go.

Starting week 7 of flower.

Nice looking buds still.
Lots of white pistils.

Nice grow. Do you check ppfd or watts being drawn?

Thanks

Its a 400W Mars Hydro LED. I never tested the draw from the outlet.

I do have a meter and PAR is like 1000 in the center. I try to rotate the plants.

Cheers, it's certainly working. I think I might look at rotating a couple of my plants too now actually.

I have been eyeing this indica leaning gelato 41 that atlas seeds has. It's in the crosses I like. How is the yield and potency from the people who have grown a version of gelato?

What grow medium did you have this icicle in?

Thanks. I've grown 4 strains I bought through Expert Seeds and the structure and flowers turned out really nice. The Blue Dream was the best one of the 4 strains I bought.

Good luck with your grow.

This is my first Gelato grow. I make my soil from scratch. Next batch soil I make I'm going 25% Peat moss 25% Coco Coir 30% Perlite 10% Rabbit shit and 10% Earthworm shit

Coco

 

[wallywonks]

Coco

If I do hydro I'll go DWC cause Maxibloom Lucas Formula grew me a monster Purple Kush.

I could try a Coco organics grow once. But I read that peat has a better cation exchange rate than Coco so they say mixing them gives you benefits of both mediums

Love it! I make my own mix too

 

[wallywonks]

Love it! I make my own mix too

Don't forget to add 2 to 3 cups of organic ferts and 4 cups of rock dust.

This is how I made my soil mix for this current grow. It's per 7.5 gal (1 cu ft) of total dirt. I mixed 3 cu ft for 4 - 5 gal pots. Each cu ft I mixed separately then dumped them in a bigger tote. Then I added Recharge to it with 3 gallons of water and mixed it up. 2 weeks to cook and you got nice growing medium. You can use like 1/2 cup of Dr Earth Tomato Herb dry ferts per cuft to add microbial and fungus too. Anything that can add microbes and fungus. Fish Hydrolysate is really good too for that. I'm using it through flower with Alaskan Fish Morbloom.

I'm include my research noted from when I first started growing 2 yrs ago.

So I did 50% Peat Moss, 30% grade 3 perlite and 20% Earthworm shit this run.
