Biscotti Gelato (GDG 24 #1)

Hashy ******************************************** Growdiaries Grow ******************************************** Introduction. I decided to have a small break from growing this summer due to the area I grow in is almost impossible to control the environment during heat waves. I think it was a wise decision as the lung room has been around the 30c mark throughout most of the summer. I have bought a replacement camera for my time-lapse videos as the other died. This grow will consist of 2 photoperiod strains. Fastbuds Biscotti Gelato and Art Genetix Biaco Gelato. Edit, the Biaco Gelatos didn't germinate so I replaced it with Pyramid seeds Gelato. This diary is focusing on #1 Biscotti Gelato Nutrients.

Ph pens need recalibration but need some fresh ph solutions. The weather has still been warm hitting 28c but I think I'll be fine to start getting germination going. I'm going to go straight into the final pot because I may be going away which would coincide with the time they would need potting up. Started soaking seed at 6.00pm Started prepping the pot at 6.05pm Filled pot with 12L of biobizz lightmix. 💧Watered with 2L water ph=7.0 and then 1L water with 5ml/L katana roots ph=6.3, very slight runoff, not enough to sample. 10.00pm placed seed in moist paper towel. I'll check on it at some point tomorrow. 📅26/8/25 (germination day 1) 📋5.00pm and the tap root has broken through the shell. So placed her into the 12L pot. Light is now on at a distance of 45cm from the soil set at 47.5W=20%, ppfd=162, dli=13.9@24hr. Timelapse set to take pics every 20 mins from 5.30pm. 📅27/8/25 (germination day 2) 📋 Nothing yet 📅28/8/25 (germination day 3) 📋 Breaking ground 5.00pm. 📅29/8/25 (germination day 4) 📋1.30pm check, broken ground but cotyledons aren't open yet. 9.30pm check, 3cm tall 42cm away from the light and cotyledons have almost split. 📅30/8/25 (germination day 5) 📋 6.00pm Empty camera and set it to timelapse every 15 mins (4 an hour), camera turns off at 10.55pm and turns on at 5.05am. I'm calling this day 0 for this one. The tent is going into 18/6 mode with tonight being the 1st day the light goes off. Checked ppfd=162 DLI=13.9@24/0 (48w) Adjusted ppfd=228 DLI=14.9@18/6 (68w) ******************************************** Germination summery. 📋 That was a nice quick germination, 5 days. Everything went according to plan with this one. Lung room is still a little off point for perfect conditions but close enough. Back soon. Take it easy. ********************************************
