Hey hey everybody! We are back here this week at the beginning of week 13 and it is almost that time… time to flip? ….I wish…. No, no…. I am trying to be good but I think I came up with a plan that will give me a rough idea of when I will see that light at the end of the tunnel- or we’ll at least flip that light to 12/12 haha- No no it is almost Christmas and things have been crazy over here. With the holiday madness upon us, I can’t tell all of you how much I have appreciated the relative silence (you know how it is, there are multiple fans running) time seems to slow down and it just us and the plants. Quite enjoyable. So as you already know, we are going to be on coast until we fill out the rest of that 3x3 scrog net- however just today on my way into work, I came up with what might be my new definitive plan… I have had a bit of trouble waiting, no doubt it will be worth the wait, but the wait has been difficult none the less… so here it is.. Here’s what I’m thinking- I have this going and I also have some fastbuds growing in the same area. What I am most likely going to do- is wait until it’s time for the fastbuds to come down to open up some space in the 5x5 and the rock candy cake can have all that space to herself- I will shift the scrog into the center of the tent and then flip the light schedule to 12/12 and let it run wild- it’s at this point I will most likely employ a more hands off approach so it can focus all of its energy on producing buds worthy of such a wait. The canopy is getting pretty lush and I really need to get in there and defoliate- I really lucked out, today was the last day I had to work until after Christmas so you KNOW I will be in there tomorrow plucking away at leaves (strategically of course) half kidding I’m probably still a whirlwind compared to some, but I’ve noticed- especially when it comes to autos, that my leaf selection has become much more refined when defoliating. PROBABLY gonna see a BIT less of that tomorrow as I have to open up the canopy but I still plan on being careful. Something else that was super cool who may not be following along with the other journal, happened oddly enough just the other day when I was doing dishes- I was scrubbing away with my phone all propped up so I could watch/listen to dude grows. And I heard the dude mention a contest on their website that I had entered… of course my ears perked up, I leaned in a little closer to take a look and was thinking to myself how cool it would be, even to see my picture in the background and sure enough there it was and they brought it up and commented on the submission and seemed to be genuinely enthused by it and let me tell you I am STILL riding high off that one! One thing that was cool too was a rep at a nutrient company had seen that and congratulated me as well and it was again just so cool and I’m honored to have been on there! I listen to them practically everyday at work- yeah words are not doing it justice right now but I was stoked!!! Other than that, the holidays are practically upon us so I’d imagine it’ll be a whole lot of family activity with a side of unintentional neglect that I plan on keeping to an absolute minimum because we are right around the corner from some excitement in that tent- that thing is going to be HUGE! So we have that to look forward to! And on that note, I just want to say that from our home to yours, I truly hope you all have a wonderful holiday season and I can’t wait to come back and get into the garden talk with all my growmies! Growers love everybody and happy holiday!! 💚🤙🌱🎅🏼🎁🎄

Start of week 7 for the OG Kush and blueberry. Second repeat of week 5 feeding for the super lemon haze as she's on a 10 week schedule. OG's are super sticky, smelly and packing on thick dense buds, blueberry is bulking up, but not nearly as much as the oG. The SLH is also pumping out nice buds, that are very sticky. Very happy with this grow so far.

7 Feb: Watered with a tiny bit of pH-Down, also 0.5ml Acti-Vera + 0.5ml Bio-Heaven. I plan to feed her 2L of this mixture (total of 1+1ml nutrients) for the remainder of this week. I will feed more if I have given all feed and the soil is still dry, otherwise no. I just now calculated that it would mean around 285ml of water per day for 7 days in a row, I think that is a bit too much. 8 Feb: I asked a grow question regarding if I should trim (defoliate) my flower. Thanks to everyone who took time to answer! In conclusion I will not defoliate my flower. 9 Feb: Watered 10 Feb: Today I started using nutrients and I deliberately decided to use the minimum amount possible. I will then see how my plant reacts and either continue with nutrients and slowly increase to "correct" dosages, or switch back to plain water for a little while longer. Also, if you look at the text above after "7 Feb", you see that I used nutrients there as well. However I used tiny, tiny dosages and I also shared the water with my other plant: https://growdiaries.com/diaries/133066-grow-journal-by-depplover49. The feed ran out in just 3-4 days and the plants seem to like it so that's why I had to refill my watering can today. 11 Feb (Day 29): Today was my best performance yet when it comes to mixing nutrients. I measured the pH-levels of the water, added one nutrient, checked the pH-levels again, then repeated until I was done. I also used two different meters since I believe they're both not really a 100% working. I am thinking about investing in a better one, these two were like $15 each and I heard that they can break after a while. Anyways, I checked the soil using both meters and the green one show 6.9 and the red one 6.9-7.0. I'm quite sure it's at 6.9 and my feeding mixture is about 6.5. I am hoping to be able to report a lowered pH-level in a few days (if that's how it works hehe). 12 Feb (Day 30): She is getting wider and bigger, her leaves are erect, she responds very well to nutrients and pH is 6.8-6.9. The green pH-meter is saying 6.8! 13 Feb: Damn she grew 7cm last night, a bit more than 2 inches.

**Encontrarás la traducción a español al final de la descripción** From/Desde: 01/03/19 || To/Hasta: 07/03/19 From day/Desde día: 8 || To day/Hasta día: 14 You can find the Gorillas Diary here: ** Podéis encontrar el diario de las Gorilla aquí:** https://growdiaries.com/diaries/25675-makingmoney-with-gorilla-mm-vs-gorilla -----IMAGES & VIDEOS----- Video 1: Timelaspe video covering 5 days, from Monday 4th night to Sunday 9th afternoon/night. One second Blackouts on video represents night times. I'm sorry for the dancing of colours specially first days, i will try to do it better next time. The background song is from the old awesome album "Deep Forest" of Deep Forest "Sweel Lullably" song (I think i'm going to use this song for almost all timelapse plant growing videos). -----WEEK SUMMARY----- I'm sorry about the delay updating this week, i traveled to Venice at the end of this week and that's why it's late and i have very few or non photos of the next week. I wish the almost 5 days timelapse video can cover the lack of images for the next week. As you can see the Moneys are growing very equitative, the one that looked small last week is now of the same size as the other one. among the 4 plants shown in the group photos, only one has some kind of problem, and is not a Money maker :). As soon as i could perform a man-lining on any of the moneys i will. LST STRUCTURE: To prevent breaking or making holes in the pot i designed this LST structure in blender and I printed it in 3D. They fit perfectly in the 8l RootPoch pots, so at time i didn't fixed them to the pots. If i see any of the plants lifting the structure i will just add weigh over it. -----WATERING CALENDAR----- 06/03/19 - 1.250 ml with all week nutrients and 1 CO2 tablet over the soil @ 0.4~0.5 E.C. PH5.5 (I'm going to travel to Venice till Sunday so i watered well) *****ESPAÑOL***** -----IMÁGENES Y VÍDEOS----- Vídeo 1: Vídeo TimeLapse que cubre 5 días, desde el lunes 4 por la noche hasta el domingo 9 por la tarde/noche. Los negros de 1 segundo que aparecen en el vídeo indican las noches. Siento mucho las variaciones de color entre los días, especialmente los primeros, la siguente vez intentare tener mejor color y más estable. La canción que suena de fondo es de un album antiguo maravilloso llamado "Deep Forest" de Deep Forest, la canción es "Sweet Lullably" y creo que la voy a usar en todos los timelapses de cultivo). -----SUMARIO SEMANAL----- Siento el retraso en el update de esta semana, me pilló el fin de la semana con un viaje que he hecho a Venecia y por esta razón llega tarde esta semana y de la siguiente tengo pocas fotos, espero cubrirlo bien con el vídeo timelapse que he hecho de casi 6 días Como se puede apreciar, las Moneys están creciendo equitativamente, la que parecía pequeña la semana pasada, se ha puesto a la par con la otra. De entre las 4 plantas que aparecen en las fotos de grupo, sólo una tiene algún tipo de problema, y no es una de las Money. Tan pronto como pueda man-lining en una de las Moneys se lo haré, creo que va a ser en semana 4. ESTRUCTURA LST: Para no agujerear los tiestos he diseñado esta estructura para LST con blender y la he impreso en 3D. Se ajusta a la perfección a los RootPoch de 8 Litros pro lo que de momento no la he fijado al tieso ni suelo mediante nada, si veo que alguna de las plantas la levanta, simplemente pondré peso sobre la estructura. -----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO----- 06/03/19 - 1.250 ml con todos los nutrientes semanales y una pastilla de CO2 sobre la tierra @ 0.4~0.5 E.C. PH5.5 (Como voy a viajar unos días he regado bien)

Questa l'ho superata al 5 nodo e successivamente il secondo nodo avendo così 8 apicali....questa e stata la struttura vincente infatti penso che da adesso in poi sarà questa la struttura che farò con le autofiorenti perché e intermedia fra uno stress troppo forte ed uno stress un po' più leggero ed ho notato che tutte le piante adorano questo tipo di potatura.... infatti le foto parlano da sole! Ringrazio ANESIA per questa splendida genetica forte e dalla struttura pesante! 🌈🌱🌈🌱🌈

All 18 CANNALOPE HAZE plants from DNA-GENETICS continued thru week 6 to develop their BEAUTIFUL flower crowns. The plants on the right under the Q6W-Gen. 2 LED-Lamps from SANlight are in general a little more uniform (all have almost the same height). The plants on the left side under the Lumatek PRO 600W are developing well, but some are smaller and some are taller. The production of flower seems to be on PAR now between the two sides, but thats hard to judge only by looking at them. In the end the weight will tell, who produced more flower. 😃 I still give only PURE tab-water, without any PH correction, since the BIOTABS nutrients are adjusting the ph-value and work for the FULL-CYCLE, its unbelievably easy and convenient, I LOVE IT! 😎 The Ambient Q240+ from HOMEBOX is now nicely filled by the plants and they continue to grow well. 😁 The Lumatek is still running at 100% at a distance of 50 cm from the top of the plants. The two SANlights at 60 cm distance were so strong (first signs of light bleaching) that I decreased the power by dimming them to 80% during week 6. I am curious to see how the test goes on further...

7/14/23 - Day 32 - Switched to flower today. It will get its first dose of 12 hrs. of daylight, 12 hrs. of dark. This will tell the plant to start budding. I'm excited to see the bud's form. So far everything with the Leaf system is going great. I'm excited to show the next few weeks as they happen! 7/16/23 - Day 34 - The plant is bushing out big now. It's getting tall. I'm a little worried we waited for a little too long, but who knows? We shall see. 7/20/23 - Day 38 - She is a few days into flower, and she is sprouting up like crazy. I bought another Scrogg net. I'm going to try and double Scrogg? is that a thing? Lol I just know that I need to keep these buds from hitting the lights. I think I'll be able to get all of this to work well, but I am nervous about the height. I can see some pistils starting to poke out! 7/21/23 - Day 39 - The lights turn off at 2am and back on at 2pm, so right now I'm waiting to open the box up for the day. But I was looking back at the pictures and trying not to freak out about how big she is (I'm worried about the lights, they don't move, and Shes is MASSIVE already) One thing I noticed about the pictures is that I have not had a single leaf turn yellow, or get spots, or have curling leaves, or have any issues with the plant. I would expect some sort of dying leave somewhere, but no. Not one single leaf has been less than perfect, I mean PERFECT. It seems like this LEAF growing box is literally the perfect environment.

Very terpy smell, strong and very citric like a pure lemon, very lemony smell basically, nothing crazy but it's very nice, she's producing a lot of resin, you can see she's a good autoflower, not the bets I've grown but it's nice to have something to Harvey's fast. 100% organic grown

This plant is in the far back corner so it's hard to get good pics of it. Its the most stretchy plant this run but it looks like its putting on some nice frosty buds. I spread the plants out a little this week so they get better light and air flow. Other than that I haven't done anything besides keep the reservoir full. Still pumping nutrients 1 minute on 20 minutes off. They are getting .5 tsp maxibloom per gallon. Not going to run any boosters this round. They dont look like they want or need it.
