The Fastbuds Gelato is up.
1 up, 1 to go.
Will add pictures if the other pops up.

New Grower Finally after 5 year of waiting, decided it's time for a new Grow.
- Thread starter Don't Fear the Reefer
- Start date
So it's update time, 
A week has passed since I planted my two seeds, one sprouted on Wednesday, still waiting for the Fantasmo x Toof decay, will wait until Wednesday, then drop another, if not joy by then.
Water the Gelato Auto today as the post was light.
Watered nearly 1.5 litres of water, which seemed to saturate the pot and it was heavy when lifted.
There was some run off, but it could of been that I was watering more on one side, always seems to be the same side where the runoff occurs.
I also turned on the lower oscillating fan, will watch how the plants responds. There also seems to be a burnt tip on one leaf. Maybe the soil is too hot? Will see how that progresses.
Also the Gelato is a bit leggy. Will also keep an eye on that and adjust if necessary.
Anyway enough rambling, here are a couple of pictures.

Update time, with pictures for @Bob's Auto's 
Here is the Gelato Auto at 10 days above ground.
Appears to be growing well, had to support the stem as it was leaning. Also turned off the lower oscillating fan and just left the higher one running. There is just a gentle flutter of the leaves. Will turn on the lower fan when the stem is stronger and the plant is a little older.
Also turned up the dial on the Mars Hydro TS1000 to one notch below 75% at around 20" from canopy, which was 233 umol, as the stem was quite leggy.
Having gave up on my previous Fantasmo x Toof Decay, I am now trying to germinate another.
It has been under the humidity dome and on the heat mat for 3 days and at 26 C. Just hoping for the best.
Been following the Ronin way.

How long should I wait for it to germ?

It's that time again... update time
Gelato Auto doing well, a couple of dodgy leaves where they had been touching the soil, but nothing too concerning.
Quite a bit of growth in 7 days.
Is she now in the vegetative state?
Here is a couple of pictures.
Now onto the new member of the grow tent.
Having not managed to sprout my first seed, I used the Ronin way with root riots to germinate another and it worked!
Now she's not looking to good, and she's hardly growing, but there is life.
I blame myself, my OCD got the better of me and I planted her 3 times, into the 3 gallon pot, hoping to score a bullseye.
I still don't think she's quite in the middle, but what can you do...
I just hope she eventually gets settled into her forever home.
Here's a couple of pictures, she's been 3 days in the 3 gallon pot, I planted her in there when she had her first true leaves.
Is she just getting used to her new pot and growing roots?
Thanks for looking, now just off to water the pots, as they are both 50% of their saturated weight.

Hi Guys,
Should I Pull the Fantasmo Express x Toof Decay?
It's been a week since I planted her in her forever home and as you can see she has hardly grown, what do you think.
Give more time or pull?
Just to make things clearer, she was sprouted in a rapid rooter and all ready had her first two leaves when I planted her in the final pot.
You can see the the growth difference from the Saturday picture.

Well it's that time again... update time
Gelato Auto doing ok, had a few brown patches on the leaves, some had small holes in them.
Decided it was time to feed her, so fed her 309 ppm (was measured on my cheap tds meter, so don't know how accurate it is)
Was going to give her a higher dose, but there was already 1 litre of water in my sprayer and didn't realise, oops.
Have included the feeding schedule, fed the week 3 feed at half dose.
The leaves were curled downwards the next morning after feeding, some stress maybe, so turned down the light for the day.
The next day she was fine, so turned it back up.
Getting about 490 umols at the moment.
Been leaf tucking along the way.
Anyway, here are a couple of pictures for you.
Now onto the problem child, the Fantasmo Express x Toof Decay.
She hardly seems to be growing, only a small amount each day, which is something I suppose.
You can see her small size in the second overheard picture.
She is not dead yet!
Was thinking of pulling her, but will ride it out for a bit longer.
Anyway here she is at 13 days above ground, 11 days in her forever home.
Edited to add, Fantasmo Express x Toof Decay is getting about 278 umols
Thanks all for reading, now off to water the girls.

You know what time it is...?
Yep you guessed it, update time.
Gelato Auto growing well, made a mistake last week and said I fed her the week 3 feed, well in fact it was the week 2 feed.
On Thursday I fed her the week 3 feed, which should have been the week 4 feed, doh!
The strange thing is that the ppm were lower this week than last week, I fed her 230ppm or 0.630 EC this week.
That's cheap TDS meters for you
A couple of leaves are showing strange, yellow, spots on them, not sure what that's about. Anyone know?
Will keep an eye on her.
I will also feed her the week 4 feed just before her 5th week.
She is drinking a lot faster these days, 3 litres in 2 days in a 3 gallon fabric pot.
She is getting around 850 umols
Anyway here are some pictures.
And now on to the slow coach, the Fantasmo Express x Toof Decay, she's picked up over the last 6 days but I still think she is a week behind.
Just been getting water, maybe will give her a feed next time, as the Gelato Auto started getting a few spots on the third week.
She is getting about 340 umols.

Gelato Auto doing quite well growing every day. Fed just over 200ppm of bloom nutes on Wednesday, will slowly increase the ppm's.
Been doing a feed water feed schedule. Will probably do a defol during the week.
Here are a couple of pictures.
Now I hope you are all sitting down, as you are in for a bit of a shock.
The Fantasmo Expresss x Toof Decay was growing well one minute, next boom this happened.
I got a deficiency.
Pretty sure it is a magnesium deficiency, at least I hope so as she has been fed some magnesium , along with grow, seaweed extract, root stimulant and silicon. She got a feed of over 500 ppm. The cheap meter first showed 503ppm, then next second jumped up to 598ppm.
Anyway they are organic nutes so it will take a week I think to see some benefit?
Either way, the magnesium deficiency hasn't got any worse and she has been growing fast the last few days.
Thanks for reading.

Update time.
Gelato Auto has taken a turn for the worse, she was growing well I thought and now she has been hit with multiple deficiencies or lockouts.
You can read more about it here:-
All advice welcome, the only advice I have been given so far is just to water and see if she improves.
Anyway buds are still growing so there is hope. She is getting 900 umols
Here are some pictures:-
Now onto the Fantasmo Express X Toof Decay, she has grown a lot over the past week and seems to have got over her magnesium issue after her feed last week. She is getting 650 umols. She looks a bit droopy as it was time to water + she got a feed of 514ppm
I'll give her a defol this week all being well.
Take a look:-

Yep you guessed it, update time
Gelato Auto is looking rough, having just watered her with ph water for the last week and a half as recommended, she is looking worse by the day.
I succumbed and gave her a bloom and P-K heavy feed, 568ppm last night, will probably be the last feed I give her.
She is supposed to be a 8 week plant from veg to harvest so won't be too much more suffering for her.
She is getting 800 umols
Sorry to say I can't see her amounting to much, I'll be lucky to get an ounce out of her.
I'll put it down to beginner error and will try again, I have three more seeds.
Anyway here's some pictures, they come with a warning, not to be viewed by those easily offended.
Now onto the Fantasmo Express x Toof Decay, she is growing really well still stretching.
She might have a very slight nitrogen toxicity, so she will be onto a bloom feed next week.
Also will give her a defol.
Really happy with the way she is growing.
Mephisto Genetics doing good. Let's hope I can keep her growing well.
She was getting 650 umols last night but looks to have grown again towards the light, so will check again tomorrow.
Here are some pictures.
Thanks for reading and until next time, stay lifted.
