This plant literally outgrew a 4 by 4 at 87 inches tall I had the light at the top and quickly realized I had to toss her in the greenhouse about halfway through her life. Super happy with the size of it 43 inches tall exactly. Not sure if shes gonna stretch more but lmao the biggest auto I've ever grow. Mad respect to ILGM genetics right now. Check back next week to see how much her buds swell! Remember it's always 4:20 somewhere once an hour every hour!!!!!!

This week has been great, I keep thinking I’m gonna over fees her but everything I give her she eats up and seems to want more.

Going strong and taking up lots of fluids. 2 + litres every second day. I’m going through 100 plus litres a week with all 4 tents in early flower 🤦‍♂️Auto watering would be helpful but I think they like the random feeds with different ranges of ph I try to never keep the ph spot on, let it float up or down a few points not much just enough for the plants to get different amounts so far it’s been working for me.. happy growing friends

**Encontrarás la traducción a español al final de la descripción** From/Desde: 05/04/19 || To/Hasta: 11/04/19 From day/Desde día: 43 || To day/Hasta día: 49 You can find the Money Maker Diary here: ** Podéis encontrar el diario de las Money Maker aquí:** https://growdiaries.com/diaries/25667-gorillamakingmoney-gorilla-vs-money-m -----IMAGES & VIDEOS----- Video 1: Complete week 7 in 2 minutes (Original frame rate modified), i used something composed by me playing with Logic Audio, please don't blame me 👉😳👊 Video 2: Complete growing stage plus some flowering days in 2 minutes Photo 3: Additives used at day 5, all but Iguana Video 13: Overview video of the Gorillas and the Moneys Photo 14: Nutrients & additives used on day 9, again all but Iguana -----WEEK SUMMARY----- Finally I decided to Switch to 12/12 the first day of this week, and at the end of the week i will leave the SCROG mall fixed. As you can see it's not a tru SCROG as the man-lining plant is taller than the others and there's also height differences among it's colas. In the other hand i'm very happy on how the plants are distributing themselves after i removed the training structures. I removed those structures to prevent more stress to the plants, as they have recieved a hard training and i want to give them a breath and also grow as they like. You can see how many vegetation they have, it almost cover the 85-90% of the tent, in the middle of flowering week 3 i will perform a massive defoliation. This week i can see how the Gorilla with the main-lining is developing more defined and taller colas than the other plants, let's see how they evolve in some weeks. Also this week i will apply the last foliar irrigation, just to help them a bit. -----WATERING CALENDAR----- 05/04/19 - 1.250 ml with all week nutrients -(Foliars, Bloom Stimulator & Bloom Nutrition) @ 1.1 E.C. PH6.4 - Foliar application of 250 ml of water with (Foliar Nutrition & Plant Vitality+) among the 4 plants 09/04/19 - 1.250 ml with (Sensizym, Bloom Stimulator, Bloom Nutrition & bud Ignitor) @ 1.4 E.C PH6.4 *****ESPAÑOL***** -----IMÁGENES Y VÍDEOS----- Vídeo 1: Semana 7 completa en 2 minutos (Frame rate original modificado), he usado algo que he compuesto jugando con el logic audio, disculpadme por esto 👉😳👊 Vídeo 2: Fase de crecimiento completa y algunos días de floración en 2 minutos Foto 3: Aditivos usados el día 5 excepto Iguana Vídeo 13: Vídeo general de las Gorilas y las Moneys Foto 14: Nutrientes y Aditivos usados el día 9, de nuevo todos menos Iguana -----SUMARIO SEMANAL----- Finalmente he decidido cambiar a 12/12 el primer día de esta semana y al final de la semana dejaré fina la red de SCROG, como veréis no es realmente un SCROG pues la planta con Man-Lining tiene colas más largas que las demás y todas son un poco desiguales entre si. Por otro lado estoy muy contento en como se están distribuyendo las plantas después de haberles quitado las estructuras de entrenamiento, las he quitado para quitarlas stress ya que han tenido un entrenamiento duro y quiero dejarlas respirar e ir por si solas a partir de aquí. También podéis observar como tienen mucha vegetación que casi cubre el 85-90% de la superficie del armario, a mitad de semana 3 de floración les haré una defoliación masiva dejándolas peladas. Esta semana ya puedo observar cómo la Gorilla con man-lining está creando colas más definidas y largas que el resto de las plantas, veremos a ver en unas semanas como evolucionan. Por último esta semana también aplicaré el último riego foliar para ayudarlas un poco con el cambio de estado y el stress recibido. -----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO----- 05/04/19 - 1.250 ml con todos los nutrientes semanales excepto -(Foliars, Bloom Stimulator & Bloom Nutrition) @ 1.1 E.C. PH6.4 - Aplicación foliar de 250 ml de agua con (Foliar Nutrition & Plant Vitality+) para las 4 plantas 09/04/19 - 1.250 ml con (Sensizym, Bloom Stimulator, Bloom Nutrition & bud Ignitor) @ 1.4 E.C PH6.4

I reported this plant after it snapped the leaves started to die extremely fast so I figured she couldn't breathe. Dying has slowed down however. Just gave her a gallon and a half of fresh water no nutrients

🌳 Week 13: Well, they're happy... almost too happy! The canopies are filling up again and getting incredibly dense down below. Especially with the squatter, Indica-leaning strains, I'm honestly getting concerned that they might be too dense, and cause mold issues. We do not want that! So, they all came out of the tent again and got their most aggressive cleanup yet. I took more bottom branches off and made more clones, and then also just cut out some other smaller branches, particularly ones that were growing back inward or in some cases even crossing over others. The differences between the indicas and sativas are starting to become more apparent as the plants stretch, and some of the sativas are almost 16" tall. I actually ended up topping a couple of the very tallest branches before they stretched any further, again in an effort to keep the top of the canopy as level as possible. I'm also experimenting with using some wire rings as inserts to spread out the top of the canopy, and pretty pleased with the initial results.

I probably should have flushed for all this last week of flowering or a bit more but didnt expected it to get ready for harvest that quick... I bought a microscope and it shows that all trichomes were milky and about a 10% amber, so only flushed at the last watering a few days before harvesting this beauty.

Week 10 total life Week 5 flowering The stretching stopped and the energy is spent on bud formation. Fertilizer. Plagron Boom 5 ml, power bud 1 ml and green sensation 1 ml Stopped the vita race this week. Happy with the way it's building up it's bud density. leafs and flowers are turning purple and the resin production is great......4 weeks to go...can't wait 😶‍🌫️

👉The plant finally has its own space. I moved it into the center of the tent and have rotated it to get a closer look at things. I have felt like bad things may be lurking on the far side which I had no access to. Fortunately everything looks good. I did find a couple of seeds forming in the tips of a couple of colas. Since then I have been scouring the plant looking for hermies. I haven't found any, but is a large bush and the hermie could be small. Its also possible that I carried some pollen in from outdoors. While all the farmland around me is cows, the strong prevailing winds could possibly have carried a few grains of pollen and those ended up on my clothes. I didn't see any evidence of the buds filling up with seeds, just the 3-4 with the seeds forming right on the tip. I will know for sure when I do the harvest. 👉I may have stuck with the week 8 mix a week too long, so I moved to week 9 for one batch (2.5gallons) then week 10one the next, I switched to week 11 (Ripen) at the end of the week. The plant had lots of crispy shitty looking fingers in the areas at the top of the canopy and in the strongest parts of the lights. I moved the lights up to 26". I have been trimming out the dead crispy leaves and and seeing more of a normal 'fade' pattern now on leaves all around the plant. I have been trimming off those that have faded for the most part. There are still lots of leaves left. The trichomes are seemingly mostly cloudy, I have not seen any amber. The lower areas have mostly clear trichomes. The buds are not 'normal' in structure. They started out normal sized calixs with normal structure buds, but they stopped 'plumping' and most of the calixs became freakishly large. This is very reminiscent of my Gorilla Glue form last year. The buds seemed to be in a state of suspended animation with no new calix's and all pistols red. When I shifted to the week 9 and then 10 mix, some fox-tailing started and some smallish calixs formed. The temps in the tent have been mid 60's at night and some days in the low 70s. This has given some of the colas a little bit of purple color. The plant is frosty as can be with frost extending well out onto even the largest sugar leaves. The smell is generic funky stank, but with a nice pleasant sweet note. The aroma is very strong and when the breezes are moderate to mild the sweet funky stank can be enjoyed outside my house as well (vented directly outside with no filter). 👉I will continue with the ripen mix of solution till harvest day. I will be monitoring the Trichome status looking for mostly cloudy with very few clears. I took a couple of small larf branches two weeks ago and let them dry, did not 'cure' it. Sticky as hell, and when I toked it it gave a nice buzz that was uppy. It wasn't 'intense' like finished cured buds are, but it was stronger than any larf Ive toked before. Larf is usually sort of an 'empty' high for me and hardly worth the effort of lighting it up, this was good enough to give a nice long lasting pleasant buzz. I cant wait to see what the good big buds will be like!

No nuts so far, just plain tap water. I'm impressed by how big the first two leaves got compared to its sister that is growing in coco.

Finishing off the first week of flowering and watching the buds grow :) All strains seem to be happy with with 1L water with 12ml nutes 25/75 veg/bloom each, every other day. Missed the defoliating deadline in veg mode but have done some very light defoliation this week, I should do more I know and will once flowering is a bit more established. A bit more LST, again on the careful side. The next grow will get the full treatment :) Of course things were going too well, a couple of hours ago while I was working on climate stabilization contra running costs (I got my first power bill since grow start) I noticed 100's of very small ants all carrying eggs exiting the base of my Gorilla Glue's airpot. I had been trying to work out why she in general seemed a bit laggy. Now I might have the reason, grabbed the Neem as 1st defense and gave what I could see a good spray. For those that I couldn't see and were probably munching on the root system and tunneling through the medium I added 4 tablespoons of fresh coffee grounds and 6ml of Wood Vinegar (pyroligneous acid) to 1L water and gave the Glue a soaking. This all happened just before lights out so now hopefully by lights on the ants will be gone and the Glue will start to perk up. Yesterday I flipped the switches on the LEDS to include deep and IR light to the spectrum. All in all a good week I think, any tips and advice always welcome :) *Update Gorilla Glue is looking much better 12h after the treatment for the ant infestation. Coffee grounds and wood vinegar, natural, safe, effective and cheap as well. I have Cinnamon as well now, so I'm well prepared for any future ant invasions :)

It's growing really fast ! The temperature was colder this week. The LST is not what I wanted but every single bud gets light. No monster bud mix for this week, I gave to much 😅.
