It was official week four yesterday for the larger plants. The cherry cola and train wreck have shown sex. I’ve bent the cherry cola but it seems the trainwreck is growing very even with just tucking leaves and removing larger fan leaves blocking the light.

So far, so good. The Dr amazingly grows similar sized buds above the light level as she grows buds behind the lights. Buds are small in general. I fertigate her once a day, 0.4 g/L of the base fertilizer. Inflow conc is 550 ppm (ca,. 1100 uS/cm), and I think I may be slightly underfertilizing. I plan to raise the concentration 150 ppm within two weeks and see if she tolerates that amount. What's fantastic in these long flowering strains, that it seems one has all the time in the world to plan and make changes, in the end, there's so much time to recuperate in case of an inconvenience! Day 107 (29-12) It consoles me that even the infortunate grow disadventures of mine with this "stretchy sativa" I think the journey will turn out successful. Let's some in April! (perhaps somewhat earlier, I dunno) If not for yields, which I reckon thwy may not be as large as I wanted (if for big yield was the original intention of growing this strain I wouldn't grow this one specially -which is know not ot be a big yielder, it was the desire of the experience of growing this noble and beautiful landrace (heirloom) sativa. by myslef...and I have 4 more seeds ;) I raised EC with 0.5 g/L Bloom fertilizer per liter solution, keeping all the other ingredients constant, in concentration and order of mixing. Every day I have the extra work of inspecting the colas to see whether they are being damaged by heat and eventually apart them from the cobs, etc., but in general, I thank God this could have been even much worse. Luckily she resists both the high indoor temperatures (31 ÂșC by this date, when outside temperatures are of that order), and pro-silicate additive may have been useful to resist heat, as Grotek claims.

So far so good. A little discoloration in a few leaves. Bud sites forming. Weird weather we've been having and temps in the box jumped up into the 90's. That being said I went ahead and made the switch to LED. Wish I would have switched sooner. Temps fell almost 20F. Sure some has to so with the outside temps dropping back down but this thing runs so cool. Great light penetration but not sure if the intensity is enough. Time will tell. She pretty much stopped eating and drinking. I read that prior to flowering they will slow down overall uptake and slow down growth as well. I don't quite remember that from my last grow but I do remember there being a huge flowering stretch. I'm switching over to bloom nutes next week after a flush so hopefully she'll get the nutes she needs/wants.

Bonjour Ă  tous les padawans et maĂźtres jedis jour84 arrosage avec 25 centilitres d'eau ph6.3 Jour87 arrosage avec 30 centilitres d'eau ph6.3 Jour88 pratique de la techniques du tronc fendu (videos explicatives) et arrosage avec 20 centilitres d'eau ph6.3 COMMENT FENDRE LES TIGES DE VOTRE PLANT DE CANNABIS Pour fendre les tiges de votre plant de cannabis, il vous faudra : Une lame propre et aiguisĂ©e (une lame de cutter fonctionne bien) Un mĂštre ruban Une ficelle ou un adhĂ©sif pour marquer les coupures que vous ferez le long de la tige Un crayon, une baguette ou une brochette pour sĂ©parer la tige une fois fendue 1. Tout d'abord, commencez par mesurer la partie de la tige que vous allez fendre. Il faut faire une incision d'environ 10–20 cm juste sous la branche la plus basse de votre plant. Utilisez un ruban adhĂ©sif ou de la ficelle pour marquer le dĂ©but et la fin de l'incision. 2. Ensuite, prenez votre lame et faites une incision en travers de la tige, en commençant par le haut. Attention Ă  faire une coupe propre, jusqu'au centre de la tige. 3. Utilisez votre lame pour tailler en descendant vers le bas, jusqu'Ă  la marque infĂ©rieure de la mesure que vous avez prise auparavant. Essayez de tailler aussi droit que possible. Une fois que vous avez atteint votre marque du bas, laissez la lame au centre de la tige, puis utilisez un crayon/baguette/brochette pour ouvrir la partie coupĂ©e, puis sortez votre lame. QUEL EST LE MEILLEUR MOMENT POUR FENDRE LES TIGES ? Il existe de nombreuses thĂ©ories sur le meilleur moment pour passer votre tige au couteau, mais la plupart des cultivateurs suggĂšrent de le faire Ă  la derniĂšre semaine de floraison. MĂȘme si certains cultivateurs recommandent de le faire dans les 3 derniers jours avant la rĂ©colte, nous recommandons de le faire un peu plus tĂŽt (7–10 jours avant la rĂ©colte). QUELS SONT LES RISQUES À FENDRE LES TIGES ? Fendre les tiges est une technique Ă  stress Ă©levĂ© trĂšs agressive que nous ne recommandons qu'aux cultivateurs expĂ©rimentĂ©s. Nous ne recommandons Ă©galement pas de fendre les tiges sur les variĂ©tĂ©s Ă  autofloraison, car cela peut ĂȘtre bien trop intense pour elles. FENDRE LES TIGES, ÇA MARCHE VRAIMENT ? Il existe un solide ensemble de cultivateurs expĂ©rimentĂ©s qui dĂ©clarent que le fait de fendre les tiges peut produire de bons rĂ©sultats. Malheureusement, peu de donnĂ©es qualitatives le prouvent. Cependant, il semble que la fente des tiges soit originaire des Pays-Bas, oĂč elle est pratiquĂ©e par des cultivateurs nĂ©erlandais experts depuis les annĂ©es 1970.

It's been a great week for the seedlings! They've really taken off and are looking strong. I'm planning to transplant them into larger pots in the next few days, so next week's photos should show some impressive growth. I'm so excited to see how they thrive in their new homes! I've been giving them distilled water from the start, and I'm still doing that, but I just started adding 10 milliliters of Fox Farm Big Bloom and 1 milliliter of Fox Farm Grow Big. All of the seedlings are doing really well, and there's not really any visible difference between all the ten strains. I started all ten packs of each strain and kept all the best seedlings, so that's why they're all doing so well.

during the last 3 growths, I worked to mix the best foundation. I think I succeeded 😊 
..it is a mix of coconut, light mix of biobizz and organic nutrients that I tried to harmonize into the best that I can provide to the plants in my modest conditions. How? simply by observing all the growths and looking for the right setting, creating nature in the growing room.

Deleafed on D75 and put in darkness for 2days. Chopped and hung in tent for 9 days. Smoked up a fair bit before weighing so easily would of been over 3oz dry which was pretty surprising considering the problems. Bud has a strong fuel taste and smell with a little fruitiness.

Jan 25th - both photos are from last nite (24th) Water and Nutrients are now Max’d and will be for the next 3 feeds before tapering off towards a flush, end of week 9 - pics tonight of the skinny-assed Sativa leaves in and around the plants crown. -reined-in some of the taller branches by affixing them back onto the fabric pot. Pulling them down slightly. Jan 26, - raised the lights a couple of inches. Trying to keep top-leaf temps under the Room temp by at least a degree ~ 1.5 avg -seems that the blossoms have responded to all the food and water. Sticky Buds for the 1st-time and a Strong (beautiful) smell I cannot get my head around yet. Funky Citrus for sure. - R.H. dropped again ~ 50% - 3 tablespoons Molasses added for tonight’s feast. day 5 since last nutes *** just an observation; I’m either just at the right time in Flower, (week 6 of 11-13) or increasing the Ocean Magic content 3x has HAD a huge impact on the Bud development & Terpene population. There are Crystals galore on the sugar leaves and bud surfaces. 2ml/L on their Bottles product Label vs 8ml/L on the G.P. Nutrition Calculator, are each company recommendations on how to use the product... ? ! I’ve made the move to 8ml/L in the last 3 feeds. 30th Jan - big growth in the actual blossoms and hairs. The Left plant has flowers that have begun to wrap around the branches and join the other buds above and below. The stretch in the L plant had drastically slowed and the R plant is catching-up nicely ~ 7-10 days behind. 31st - top dressing the pot(s) tonight, ahead of their next feed. Quite a “settling” of the top surface since the first waterings. And now that they are getting some serious water (usually over a 3-4 hour period) there is room for ~ 2” soil, and another inch of Sand. Everything else has been Max’d, might as well include the playground !! - retained some of the original potting mixture, minus perlite & shrimp compost... that goes on tonight, 31st. ** ha, should be fun with all of the Stakes in the soil... focus, pic to follow Feb 1 - 16 Litre feeding tonight, to send the Ladies into the 2nd half of Flower. Planning & Maintenance is all I am thinking is left to do. Between the lines till 2nd week March ... -will try and get an image tonight showing the terpene explosion and changes happening on the plants - small increase in Molasses took TDS to 1370. No higher from here on in.

**EncontrarĂĄs la traducciĂłn a español al final de la descripciĂłn** From/Desde: 01/03/19 || To/Hasta: 07/03/19 From day/Desde dĂ­a: 8 || To day/Hasta dĂ­a: 14 You can find the Money Maker Diary here: ** PodĂ©is encontrar el diario de las Money Maker aquĂ­:** https://growdiaries.com/diaries/25667-gorillamakingmoney-gorilla-vs-money-m -----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. At time, among the 4 plants you can see on group photos, there is one of the 2 gorillas that stands out from the others. The other one is not growing as fast and strong as this one, and also is growing with discoloration areas in the leafs (it will be much more visible next week). I will perform the first Topping/Man Linning/LST on the plant that stands out the next week, and probably will leave the second Gorilla untouched to perform tests and comparsions. Also, among the 2 genetics, the Gorillas are growing much more robust and fast than the Money Makers are. LST STRUCTURE: To prevent breaking or making holes in the pot i designed this LST structure in blender and printed 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----- VĂ­deo 1: VĂ­deo TimeLapse que cubre 5 dĂ­as, desde el lunes 4 por la noche hasta el domingo 9 por la tarde/noche. Los negros de 1 segundo que aparecen en el vĂ­deo indican las noches. Siento mucho las variaciones de color entre los dĂ­as, especialmente los primeros, la siguente vez intentare tener mejor color y mĂĄs estable. La canciĂłn que suena de fondo es de un album antiguo maravilloso llamado "Deep Forest" de Deep Forest, la canciĂłn 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 pillĂł el fin de la semana con un viaje que he hecho a Venecia y por esta razĂłn llega tarde esta semana y de la siguiente tengo pocas fotos, espero cubrirlo bien con el vĂ­deo timelapse que he hecho de casi 6 dĂ­as De momento de las 4 plantas que podĂ©is ver en las fotos de grupo hay una de las 2 gorilas que destaca sobre el resto de las plantas. He de decir que la otra estĂĄ creciendo con manchas de decoloraciĂłn en la hojas (se harĂĄ mucho mĂĄs evidente la semana que viene). Por como va creciendo la Gorila que destaca, esta es a la primera a la que le realizarĂ© el Man Lining y LST, y probablemente deje a la segunda gorila sin hacĂ©rselo para ir haciendo pruebas y ver diferencias. AsĂ­ mismo, de entre las 2 genĂ©ticas diferentes, sin duda las gorilas crecen con mĂĄs robustez y velocidad que las Money Maker 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 perfecciĂłn 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 pondrĂ© 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 dĂ­as he regado bien)

Day8: First day of the new week. I assume still pretty much focusing on roots, as the top didn't really do much today. Day9: Nothing special. But she's growing Day10: Still roots, it seems. Very little happening up top. Day11: Effort being put into growing the top leaves. They increased in size. I assume that the next node will start tomorrow - kicking off the switch into Veg. Day12: Next node already showing :D Day13: I put in a humidifier and changed the cycle of the extractor to keep more moisture in the growbox. My humidity was way too low. Day14: This time the humidity was too high. It was sitting at around 95% when the lights went on.

Experiment failed; unable to control the staked arms. Allowing them to become main stems. Expecting a dozen colas. Yellowsticky traps capture hundreds of thrips. She is just beginning to become a girrrrl.

Hello, fin de semaine 4 de croissance. Le plantes semblent ĂȘtre en bonne santĂ©. Elles ont bien grandies depuis la semaine derniĂšre. Sur les 8, 3 sont vraiment beaucoup plus vigoureuses. Je les ai passĂ©es en floraison aujourd’hui, j’ai donc effectuĂ© une dĂ©foliation pour enlever toutes grandes feuilles. Et j’ai aussi fait un LST. Je les aient changĂ©es de box, je suis passĂ© sur une box de 1.20x1.20x2 avec une lampe de 600w LED de chez OpticLed. J’espĂšre avoir de bon rĂ©sultats. N’hĂ©sitez pas Ă  me donner votre avis sur l’avancement de la culture. A la semaine prochaine. Happy grow... 😎
