Damn that sucks, hopefully she bounces back

It will be fine. I have busted some branches in my time and it's rare that they don't do fine. I usually don't even repair them lol

Day 37 of Flower
Everything is looking good, been having to keep a very close eye on my resivore. Ph has been dropping and PPM has been rising throughout the week. Temps and humidity have been perfect with lights on and off, buds are filling in nicely.

Nutrients used for week 6 of Flower Per gallon:
GH Floranova grow 7.5ml
GH Rapid start 1ml
GH Liquid Koolbloom 5ml
GH Floralicious plus 1ml
GH Armor Si 2ml
GH Calimagic 5ml
CE Sugaree 10ml

Day 40 of Flower

Some bud shots

Looking good. If I may ask, how much space do you have between your canopy and the light?

18" above the tallest tops, I've been slowly LST-ing those branches so I can lower my light back down so the rest of the crop get more light, but it's been a battle. The tops on the tall ones were starting to grow all airy from the intensity of the CMH. My next run should be better, I'm getting rid of the tent and building 2 rooms, I'll gain another 2.5' head hight and have more access to the plants all around.

Day 42 of Flower
Just checking in, My bud development feels like it's a week behind, most likely due to the heavy defoliation I did a couple weeks ago. So know I'm going to go another 3 days on this week 6 batch of nutrients and then I'll also add 3 days to week 7 nutrients. That way I stay on my nutrient schedule and I'm adding another week to flower at the same time.
I'll check back tomorrow with some pics.

Using anything to give it sugars or anything like carbologic?

Makes sure the plant has all the energy it needs n then some to process the nutrients and such. Works like a damn charm cheap too

I'm using Cutting Edge Sugaree

Nice. I'll look into that product. The gelato looks really damn thick and healthy lol. Nice job man. Nice.

Day 46 of Flower
Plants are looking good, really frosting up. Buds are nice and dense. Can't do much due to my back acting up again.

Nutrients used for week 7 of Flower Per gallon:
GH Floranova grow 7.5ml
GH Liquid Koolbloom 5ml
GH Floralicious plus 1ml
GH Armor Si 1.5ml
GH Calimagic 2.5ml
CE Sugaree 10ml

Blue Gelato 41

Niiiice. The blue gelato looks really nice so far.

I'm jealous of your grow lol. Proper space, proper equipment. Really nice. I keep going back now and then to look at these buds you got going. Nice nice nice.

Day 54 of Flower
Man is this weather kicking my ass, bones are hurting like a mother focker. It's been crazy the last 2 weeks. Growth was definitely slowed down when I did my last defoliation, buy the plants are starting to catch up. I noticed a wedding cake in the back had seeds sticking out of the buds, which was right next to the last hermie I pulled a few ago. Must have got pollinated when I pulled her out. I got the heavily seeded branches off and I'm hoping nothing else was pollinated.
I've been comparing my Wedding cake clones to the Wedding Cakes seedlings and I'm starting to think it must be a cross between Purple Punch x Wedding cake. I got the seeds from my buddy and he confirmed my suspensions that may have happened. The smell is like the 2 strains put together but the smell is not appealing, almost like rubber cement, but the buds are frost as hell and really dense. I guess I'll found out once it's done. Some of the tops are not filling out like they should be, which leads me to believe I get better bud production when my 630w CMH light is 30" away from from the tops. During Flowering 20" might be too intense and 40" isn't intense enough. So I'm thinking 30" may be the magic number. I changed out my nutrients on Sunday night and I'll start flushing next Sunday.

Nutrients used for week 8 of Flower Per gallon:
GH Floranova grow 5ml
GH Floralicious plus 1ml
GH Dry Koolbloom 1/2
CE Sugaree 12ml

Yeah its growing really nice, I like the structure of it, I'm thinking it probably needs another 2.5 weeks. Big colas on every branch, but a lot of leaves growing out of the buds.

Thank man, I try to keep it clean as possible, less chance of something going wrong and I always try to keep the mentality of Work Smarter not Harder. After taking almost 10 years off and being on my 2nd grow since coming back, I'm really hoping I got everything dailed in for my 3rd run coming up. As soon as this crop is done my grow room is going up, so thing may change. I guess we'll see
