Looks like a very low but wide plant

11/12 Week 6 update!
Preflowering is going strong! Pistils and sprouting branches are filling in all around. Maybe I was spoiled to have Fat Bastard as my first strain to grow because I feel like the NTL are very small and empty. FB is growing pretty dense with leaves, branches and pistils. Colas are much bigger as well
Besides that, Iâm still having to deal with these lead miners. The first couple of leaves up the stalk are nearly dead along all plants because they ate the hell out of those them. I reapplied the bug spray but this time more. Iâm applying my other spray daily as well but I know it doesnât effect the miners
So far the biggest plants are the two Fat Bastards. Like I said, both NTLs seem very empty and small. But the (Iâll just call it the 2nd Gen Fat Bastard because thatâs the one that I grew myself from the website) 2nd Gen FB is looking denser with bigger colas in general. It seems lacking on pistil production but definitely keeping up. Lately itâs been pretty windy and with the supports I have, Iâm hoping for them to grow stronger stalks
Current Nutes:
1Tbsp Big Bloom
2Tsp Grow Big
1Tsp Tiger Bloom
1Tsp Cal-Mag
ÂźTsp Open Sesame
Couldnât test PPM/EC because I misplaced the pen

11/20 Week 7 update: Happy Thanksgiving!
So the NTL x Gelato are definitely the front runners now and itâs crazy. Although very tall, the stems arenât strong enough just yet. I decided to take off the supports but with the weather lately and being very windy, one was knocked over. So youâll see a plant that is facing perpendicular to the light
Besides that, all plants are healthy and not much leaf miner action going on. Of course the Fat Bastard plant stopped very early. Another shorty but the last plant yielded about 21g; so Iâm hopeful this one will be similar
The only changes to nutes are the Beastie Blooms. All plants are shooting out pistils like crazy and I canât wait for flower growth. This time around I got some âbud sugarâ nutes to see if theyâll actually make a difference in taste
Current Nutes:
Big Bloom: 1Tbsp
Grow Big: 2Tsp
Tiger Bloom: 1Tsp
Cal-Mag: 1Tsp

11/26 Week 8 update!
Everything is looking great! ExceptâŚ
The gelato plant 
even though very tall, it decided to have its leaves be very droopy and buds be exposed. This is the first time Iâve grown the strain but the other Gelato plant is growing very voluminous with a lot branches. Both have around the same amount of buds preparing to grow but itâs just odd because every plant gets the same water, nutes, and light
Anyways, timing is a bit of because of how I water but I shouldâve paid more attention but I was supposed to Sledgehammer before this week but didnât. So Iâll do it this weekend while itâs during the right watering schedule.
This week was upping the Tiger Bloom nute and starting the Bud Candy nute. Itâs equivalent is Bembe and all it is to add sugars to the buds to make them taste sweeter. Hopefully it makes it nicer to burn because of how much of Nutes Iâm pouring into these plants
Current Nutes:
Big bloom: 1Tbsp
Grow Big: 2Tsp
Tiger Bloom: 2Tsp
Cal-Mag: 1Tsp
Bud Candy: 1Tbsp
Beastie Bloomz: ÂźTsp

Tiger bloom is very strong and can burn your girl pretty easy. I reccomend not using 2 tsps but rather 1/2 this dose. You may also benefit from more lighting. Happy growing!

Iâve found that these plants are very accepting of nutes. Even while planting them in Fox Farms OF with nutes, they have shown no sign of burn. Even with my first grow there wasnât much burn as well. As for lighting, youâre right because of the different elevations. I didnât expect such differences in height like this; so much that Iâm afraid of burning the taller plants because I think the shorter plants wonât get any light

12/4 Week 9 update:
So the immediate update really is: is this plant dead or what?? Lol
(Side note: sledgehammer was done 12/2)
So I really realized that Iâve been spoiled with the Fat Bastard strain. The Gelato strain has hardly shown any pistils or bud development the way Iâm used to. Both FB plants (albeit one is tiny AF) are developing buds nicely with beautiful pistil coloring and very sticky leaves.
So concerning the Gelato plants, one has been droopy for the longest time now. Iâve kept up with watering and nutes; now it seems like itâs teetering on the verge of death. The reason why I donât take much action is because these are all Autoflowers. Most know that their life cycle happens too quick to make any changes
Besides appearances they are getting very fragrant. These are out in a patio and when itâs windy, the living room fills with the smell of bud

Not too much to really report on. The only difference is that theyâre getting more fragrant for sure. Both FB plants are smelling nice and sour
The start of this week means less nutes and lower PPM accordingly. Thankfully the soil has stayed very stable at 6.9; ever since I mixed in Lime Dolomite a few weeks back

Just one picture today because Iâm already high AF and tired lol
According to schedule, I sledgeâd the plants this Saturday (12/16) and every plant seem to be doing fine
The âskinnierâ of the two Gelato plants is starting to brown on the leaves but I see very minimal buds. I do see newly budded pistils but no thick bud flower development. The two Fat Bastard plants are growing nicely. Buds are developing nicely
The plants have become very fragrant and I always love it. With the wind blowing it fills the whole house with that very distinct flower smell

Tiger Bloom: 2Tsp

Week 12 update!
While I thought the 2 Gelato plants were dead, theyâve been growing very nicely. Iâm very unfamiliar with this strain and its traits. So some folic and sugar leave are meant to curl in. I noticed a lot of new pistil growth for the flowers; albeit VERY small
The two FB strains are doing wonderful as usual. Bud development growth and flowers are abundant. The smallest plant shows a lot of flower growth at the base, which gives me hope. Even though small, I can hope that it produces seeds with that growth
Current Nutes:
Big Bloom 1Tbsp
