First Grow Lemon Gelato

Mpower11 · January 28, 2020, 12:00am

Day 12 of late Veg I think I should add 1 more week?

Also I removed some bottom leaves should I remove more?

Thanks again for the help

I would add two more weeks! Rule of thumb is no more than 20% removal at one time, so that’s about right.

Yep try and get as close as you can to the second fan . It might be a pain but it should be beneficial in the end

Thanks for the tips I added 1 week for now. Looks like I may add 1 more week later on.

Is the best time to change to 12/12 when I hit the bottom or top of the second fan?

Honestly it varies I’ve noticed. You just have to play with it with different grows. Keep in mind sativa will stretch more. Hybrids you’ll probably roll the dice with, Indica not so much.

I’m running green crack, sativa, and it’s stretched pretty good so far, had to supercrop 5 stalks and I flipped it just at the bottom of the fan. I also pushed my coco pod down the lid maybe 2". So there’s things you can do if you run out of room regardless

I understand what you mean… This is the description of my seed from the breeder… Based on it being a dominant indica I think I will flip the to 12/12 at the bottom of the second fan. For my first grow I prefer not to run out of room. Based on your experience would you agree that the bottom of the top fan is a save to make the change?

Description

Genetics: Gelato #33 x Lemon Tree
Type: Indica dominant
Seed Type: Feminized
Flowering: 8-9 weeks

Gelato with Lemon Tree was a no brainer for us. Our Lemon Tree is the loudest, most lemon-y strain we have ever encountered. The lemon comes through koud and combines beautifully with the unique sweet Cookies of the Gelato.

For indica dominant strains I would flip at the top of the fan because indicas are shorter.

Keep up with your grow journal. The next time you grow the same strain. You’ll make the appropriate changes.

That’s a really good tip thanks

Did it happen to say if it was short, medium or tall? Anyway I might do it at the bottom the this first time around and then you’ll know for next time if you needed another week or that it was fine where you flipped it. If you have more of the same strain that is

Did some LLst training what’s everyone thoughts?

Looking really nice and full . I’d say you could probably giver a haircut though

Should I clean up some fan leafs just on the bottom or some in the top also?

Russel_Richardson · February 4, 2020, 10:51pm

I started from the bottom up

Here is a updated I removed a total of about 10 fan leafs over 7 days!!

What do you think now seems very bushy still to me.

Also I added a total of 2 weeks to veg so far I think I need to add 1 more week. In 2 days it wants to change to next stage. What’s your thoughts on hair cut and adding 1 more week?
