Hoping they won’t be too crowded once I go 12/12 this week (11/19). Will Def be doing a lot of maintenance on lollipopping, air flow, etc… Already topped and fimmed, not low stressing this first time around. Sometimes I have no clue on what I’m doing. Wish me luck. Any guidance will be highly appreciated.
The first day it all started 9/6. 11 Gelato Tomato clones from a friend, with nowhere to really put them.
9/24 I Found this “hand me down RDWC” for free online. Hated it! Everyday I had to unclog at least 3-4 misters. Remember the big girl on the bottom right hand side for later…
Around 9/18 I had planted these GG Pepper seeds from ILGM Gorilla Glue Feminized Seeds For Sale | Buy Online >>> ILGM
with out a clue of what I was doing. As you can see, they were super leggy, next pic will tell you why.
Look how far I had the lights (T5)from the seedlings, and I also had the audacity to put 3 red bulbs in there (far red)
G.H Micro, Gro, Bloom. I ran them at early veg, at 1500ppm and like 7.8Ph 
what the Heck did I know?! 
I don’t even feed them past 1150ppm, 5.8-6.2PH now at early bloom. Now I’m Running the whole G.H product line at ¼ of their ML suggestions per gallon plus HYDRO GUARD
10/6 I eventually replanted the seedlings and gave them some decent light. While I built a room for them.
10/13 I picked up some more (48) Gelato Tomato clones
10/13 Do y’all remember the girl from the bottom right hand side, I asked y’all to remember? I decided to promote her to be a Queen! (Gelato Mom)
10/14 I finished moving and prepping “veg room 1”
10/14 The Bloom Bloom Room
10/19 The Bloom Bloom Room
10/20 Picture notes, because I forget absolutely everything. Fixtures were too close to the wall.
10/22 we move into The Bloom Bloom Room to veg. First 20 on the left hand side are all 20 GG seedlings from ILGM. They all made it!
10/26 Ended up promoting this one to mom as well, since she sky rocketed under these lights
11/1 remember Queen?! (Gelato mom)
11/11 from right to left. Mom 1, Mom 2 GG Mom from ILGM
11/19 we Flip twelve to twelve. But before that, we defoliate, keep some clones and repot from eighty something active aqua 5x5 squared pots to seventy one 7x7 active aqua squared pots. Some short plants were kept in veg. Plants on the right measured 18" left 12" because of ceiling
11/19 moms and some veg that needed help (ICU I call it, because when in those buckets they Grow and get healthy quick! I chopped mom down significantly
11/19 mom chopped up for cloning
10/28 about 120 clones. Everything in the pots on the stand are rooted.
12/1 day 12 of flower, you can’t even see the masking tape measured at 12" on the left wall, nor the 18" mark on the right wall anymore. Because right side gelato tomatoes are 26" and GG From ILGM are 22 - 23" yup, their catching up.
Ended up throwing away a whole beautiful plant recently after flower and cutting off all swollen calyx’s on another, because of what I thought were pollen sacks. While time they were swollen calyx. Still breaks my heart man.
12/1 12 days into flowering
12/1 Gelato Tomato
12/1 GG tomatoes from ILGM FEM
These red lights are set to turn on 15 min prior to lights on (sunrise) and 15 min after lights out (sunset) because you know the sun doesn’t jump out shining in a split second! 
Guys, please! Any info, good or bad is still info to me, since I’ve never done this before. Honestly, I’ve never planted anything in my life before, and as soon as I saw that first seed pop, it was a wrap! I’ve never had a real hobby besides bmx and racing cars. But this, this to me is life changing, it’s only been 3 months and I can’t see myself not doing this, ever! it’s actual life! Any info, guidance, criticism will be highly appreciated, Thank you in advance!
