Gelato in first tent

Last plant, last harvest this grow. Last light, lights out now until tomorrow.


Here are a couple buds:


This will be a 11 1/2 week flower harvest, tops taken at 8 weeks. The Gelato tops were taken at 9 1/2 weeks and the rest at 11 weeks. It will be fun trying out the different cuts of buds to see the effects.

Yeah man sounds good, keep me posted on the differences: going to take mine down the same way will be my first time trying it in stages! So you ran with about a 2 week delay :ballot_box_with_check:

Here is a pic of my harvest, 12 tops taken at 9 1/2 wks. 37gr. dried and trimmed with most of the seeds removed. I am curing for the first time using the grove bags. The grassy smell is just now starting to diminish.

That was the Gelato from Homegrown Cannabis which was a reward for choosing their preferred payment method. Best reward for a payment choice ever!
This next shot is of the Ruebud, 7 tops

Here’s proof positive that my seeds are viable:


I will be giving a smoke report as soon as the flowers are cured to my satisfaction. Soon!

Wow, has it been a month already?
I have all the tallies.


230 nice seeds from the Gelato mom HGC crossed with the Meow Daddy, a cbd 1:1 mix from MDBuds. I will grow some out and see what kind of numbers THC:CBD I get.
There are 70 seeds in the tube from the Ruebud cross.

I got 100 gms of dried and trimmed flower. 27 1/2 from the Ruebud and 73 from the Gelato. I have still been smoking the early buds, almost done, and have not yet gotten together with my buddy who is an herb expert to test the cultivars. Soon. What I’ve smoked so far has been encouraging, though. Excellent flavor with the Gelato, the Ruebud meh.
That is rice in the seed containers to keep moisture from the seeds.

OK, I have stalled long enough. Here is the smoke report. First the Ruebud: I have been using it to mix with the Papi Gato for my wife’s evening medication and gotten great results. I use her harvest of both (secondary buds taken weeks after mine) for the extra cbn to help with sleeping. It smokes smoothly with no harshness and very little flavor. She likes it that way. It does a good job. By keeping some Papi Gato in it her leg cramps never happen any longer. My cut has little flavor also but smokes smoothly and has a nice effect. The flavor I get is slightly earthy and slightly fruity on the exhale. I attribute the lack of flavor to the excessive heat during flower.
The Gelato seemed to handle the heat with a smile :smiley:. Both the prime harvest 9 1/2 weeks and secondary 11 weeks taste and smell like one would expect of a legendary cultivar. There is an element of the Thai that I grew from '78-'82, only it looks a lot prettier than the Thai. It also has a bit of fruit and spice to it. I know that folks are tired of hearing about Gelato, but I didn’t smoke from '89-'19,so I missed all that. Oh yeah, it has quite a kick to it. Breaking it up to roll gets the fingers really sticky. I know why it is in the genetics of so many strains today. I haven’t tested the thc in it, but I believe it to be around 20% or so. I now have seeds with Gelato genetics. Gelato x Meow Daddy (from MDBuds). I look forward to seeing what becomes of that.

The Meow Daddy is a type 1 cbd strain so I expect to get a good amount of cbd in the plants and hopefully enough thc to make it a fun medicinal plant.
Meow Daddy is a cross of Grandaddy Purple and cbd strain from MDBuds. The Gelato came from Homegrown Cannabis Co.

The Ruebud or BRB (Bloomington red bud) is of unknown origin grown by a buddy who left a male in his garden. I was encouraged to try it out and now I will see what comes of crossing it with the Meow Daddy.

Sorry, I was getting an error message for a while and was unable to get to this site to keep up with this year’s grow. Well I’m back so watch out. Here it comes.


Here is a pic of my tent: Darkbud MD left, Nuketown center, and Gelato MD right.

Gelato MD bud.

Gelato MD which has just been a pleasure to grow.

A Darkbud MD bud. You can see some of her mother’s colors starting to appear.
We are at 37 days of flower. It looks like the DMD will finish first, then GMD, and Nuketown will take the longest to finish. It is UV Wednesday, 25 min a side so 50 total. All of these plants are handling the heat well so far.

42 days into flower, 6 weeks. Two or three to go before I take the prime buds on the Darkbud MD, 3-3 1/2 for the Gelato MD, and who knows for the Nuketown by Irie Genetics. She is just taking her time.
On a side note, I hope the Gelato people don’t mind me using their name. and Homegrown doesn’t mind me breeding with their genetics. This project is just for my and mine use.
Here are some pics:



Gelato MD above and Darkbud MD below:


The Darkbud MD (just my name for it Don’t try to look it up) is starting to show color just like mom did last year.

Sorry, I didn’t check my work before posting. Here is the Darkbud MD


You can’t tell from the pics, but the Darkbud MD has a red tint to the underside of all the leaves, even the leaves that are all green. This bodes well for the medicinal value of the cultivar.

Here is the tent at 9 wks: Nuketown L, Gelato MD R, and Darkbud MD Center top.

Above are the two main bud harvests; on the right is the Darkbud MD taken a week ago, and the left are the Gelato MD buds taken this morning. I will let the remainder ripen for another week or three until they have a goodly amount of amber triches.

The Nuketown is way behind the other plants. She is just now, at 9 weeks of flower, starting to show a little color on the pistols. I am thinking 11 wks and I will harvest the plant all at once. Utilizing the split harvest has worked out well for me in the past.


This is my Gelato MD, Homegrown’s Gelato x MDBud’s Meow Daddy. I can’t wait to see how these test for THC and CBD. This is the second harvest taken on day 80 of flower, the first on day 63. So far, we are on day 13 of drying and might take as many as 18-20.
