sweet auto gelato


vince noir rock n roll star

Recommended Posts

due to a disastrous competition this year for moi ,as soon as it was possible to get a plant going again ..i chose to run a sweet auto gelato because i knew it wouldnt need much looking after as im still currently tooing and froing between areas due to the nature of my care work  having had to be locked down at a different address led to all manner of issues ..so auto for the recovery .whilst other plants are going through the motions and catching up ..

this auto is in the veg tent which is 20 inch tall and 14inch sq on the base ..its under the @diyleduk supplied quantum veg board ..(all the foundation got drank in the first week ..nerves ...) ..which runs at 65watts ..its on 24/7 and turned off for a day once a month ..

the compost its in is levingtons cos tescos had it on offer and was stored indoors ..to this was added the last of the eco thrive and a dash of eco charge ..its been fed once since germination with some maxicrop seaweed and a dose of magnesium to see it through ..i also snapped out the main stem the moment i saw the first preflower ..lots of bending and snapping to keep the canopy even under the diffuser i use to tone down the light ..

so far ..so good ..hoping this will fill in the gap for smokes ..

@Sweet Seeds -Jaypp. @Sweet Seeds-tommy @Sweet Seeds Apolo  as an apology for the diary ..

and a thank you for the wooden spoon .

So it is possible to top autos then, useful to know since I've got 2 on the go and will be sowing another 2 tonight. Nearly went for that gelato from Sweet, I will be pulling up a chair for this one.

its choppy time ..

a quick round up ..it had some water ..and a bit of magnesium few weeks back ..touch of seaweed ..65 watts of 4k spectrum led ..snapped the main stem out when first preflowers showed ..snapped every branch to ensure it stayed short ..add water wait patiently ..

 

thats about it ..and what can i say ..the smells are close to divine ..fruity sweets ,limes chocolate and pineapple ..the buds are rock solid too and weighty ..it might look a small plant which it is but for a quick conniseur quality smoke ..its probably the best auto ive done so far ..and it looked georgeous too ..resin coated and colours of autumn ..

so yet another big thanks to @Sweet Seeds-tommy@Sweet Seeds -Jaypp@Sweet Seeds Apolo for their continued belief in lazy growers ..cheers fellas .

Another mk1 fan ... big love :)      That mk1 is a Maltese car and its scary quick !    I have a few mk1's & mk2's  as i love them ,  i have a particular mk1 commonly known as " the Mistress " as it gets so much love, attention and spoilt rotten lol    The wife actually hates her and is genuinely jealous lol    Its come between us a few times but women come and go :) 

On a serious note, the mistress i could put a price on but the wonderful wife is priceless !     Some people keep folders with their cars invoices & paperwork .... the mistress has a box that the old fridge came in.     I could have bought a penthouse on the Thames for what she stands me but i couldnt care less , shes going nowhere and im getting buried in her :) 

627 bhp ,  589 bhp at the rear wheels and 671 ft/lb of torque all in 800kg of full laden bodyshell .... you could say it gets along.   

Im currently working on getting my hands on a rather nice Consul Capri GT thats still in a 40 year sleep right now !!   Its my unicorn classic ford !   

You just cant beat the smell of fuel, hot oil and burnt rubber ..... heaven !
