Hello. This is the end of the veg cycle and the first week in flowering. It's May 30/2023. The Breeders Description said 8 to 9 weeks of flowering. That should take us to August 1st. That would be the start of week 9 and Aug. 8th would be the end of week 9, so I plan to harvest around then. The greenhouse looks a little different than last time. My buddy Jerry brought me some bamboo (he went out of his way on his birthday to do that for me) What A nice guy he is. I used 18 of the longest pieces to make a Scrog type of net to hold up the big buds I hope to get. First year to try this bamboo thing. Hope it goes good. I might have to tie it up tighter. I did a good trim/prune, under the table mostly, but did remove some big fanleaves up top that blocked the lower branch ends/tips from seeing good light. I think it's also good to remove the big fanleaves that don't get much light any more. It promotes more growth up top. While trimming I left the branches that were growing straight down. I'll trim them off today for cuttings, for clones I'll make later. I mix 10ml of liquid seaweed with 1 gallon of water to put the cuttings in. I'll make 6 cups for 6 different plants numbered 1 to 6 so I don't mix them up. 😁 I'll pack up the lights later. I'll mix some transition to flowering, nutrient solution tomorrow. That means a little less N and a little more P and K. Thanks for looking in. Chuck.

**Encontrarás la traducción a español al final de la descripción** From/Desde: 17/05/19 || To/Hasta: 23/05/19 From day/Desde día: 85 || To day/Hasta día: 91 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----- 1 - Overview of the main Gorilla with the Man-lining applied 2 - Overview of the Gorilla affected by CO2 excess at root system 3, 15 & 16 - Top candy present in 3 tails, 2 Gorillas & 1 Money Maker 4 - Colorful Trichomes 😱😱😱!!, Yellow, Orange, Red... Fucking Delicious!!!! -----WEEK SUMMARY----- The buds still fattening day by day, more than I expected seeing the final thickness of the stems. The next week the branches will begin to bend by the weight and I will have to tie them. As you can see the crystal concentration in the buds is awesome, looking at them natural they seem much more populated with crystals than in the pictures. Smell is very intense. All my house smells a bit, but as soon as the door of the room of the plants is opened, the whole house starts to smell intense instantly. -----WATERING CALENDAR----- 17/05/19 - 1,5 l with All week nutrients -(Senizym, Pk Booster, B52 & Nirvana) @ PH6.4 & 2.4 E.C. 20/05/19 - 1,5 l with All week nutrients -(Pro Active, Rhino Skin, Bloom Stimulator & nutrition) @ PH6.4 & 2.4 E.C. 23/05/19 - 1,5 l with All week nutrients -(Senizym, Pk Booster & Nirvana) @ PH6.4 & 2.5 E.C. *****ESPAÑOL***** -----IMÁGENES Y VÍDEOS----- 1 - Visión de la Gorilla principal con man-lining aplicado 2 - Visión de la segunda Gorilla acfectada por exceso de CO2 en el sistema radicular 3, 15 & 16 - Caramelo superior presente en 3 colas, dos de Gorillas y una Money Maker 4 - Tricomas a todo color 😱😱😱!!, amarillo, naranja, rojo... Jodidamente delicioso!!!! -----SUMARIO SEMANAL----- Los cogollos siguen engordando día a día, más de lo que esperaba viendo el grosor final de los tallos. La siguiente semana las ramas van a empezar a doblarse por el peso y voy a tener que ir amarrándolas. Como podéis ver la concentración de cristales que presentan los cogollos no es ninguna tontería, realmente mirándolas al natural parecen muchísimo más pobladas de cristales que en las fotos y ya es decir. Con respecto al olor es muy intenso, huele un poco toda la planta de la casa, pero en cuanto se abre la puerta de la habitación de las plantas, toda la casa empieza a oler al instante. -----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO----- 17/05/19 - 1,5 l Con todos los nutrientes semanales -(Sensizym, Pk Booster, B52 y Nirvana) @ PH6.4 & 2.4 E.C. 20/05/19 - 1,5 l Con todos los nutrientes semanales -(Pro Active, Rhino Skin, Bloom Stimulator y nutrition) @ PH6.4 & 2.4 E.C. 23/05/19 - 1,5 l Con todos los nutrientes semanales -(Senizym, Pk Booster y Nirvana) @ PH6.4 & 2.5 E.C.

Tag 30 : Ich entlaube etwas und biege die Seitenarme weiter runter, dafür nehme ich Holzspieße und Pfanzendraht. Tag 32: Mir scheint als sei die Pflanze eine Automatic! Sie blüht einfach weiter! Tag 33: Zur Stabilisierung habe ich ein Netz eingebaut, und gieße jetzt noch mit Blütedünger weiter, mal schauen was ob und was noch aus der Pflanze nun wird.

Day 57 the plant continues to grow without a problem I can see there are continue to stretch I used painters tape around the branches that I supercrop in order to give them a little bit support and allow nutrients to continue to flow through the branch the plant has been recovering very well from high stress training and I'm looking forward to see how this girl is going to turn out . I know that most of the growers in this platform and elsewhere do defoliate and trim down all the lower branches of the plant so that the plant can concentrate all its energy into the higher bigger and better buds .and I do not do this because I drive the plants very hard with nutrients and those lower branches with small buds always give me the first sign of anything going wrong with her and that's why I leave them as a buffer zone to protect the bigger buds and that way I can push her as hard as I want. thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow

🌿 Nectar Drip – Week 4 Report Early Vegetative Phase (12/12 from Seed) Zamnesia Seeds x TICAL – Pack #268 🌱 Growth Overview – Entering Structure This week marks Week 4 since germination (often considered Week 3 in growth rhythm), and the plants are now clearly transitioning from early establishment into structural development. All plants are healthy, vibrant, and responding beautifully to the environment. Growth remains steady rather than explosive — exactly what’s expected when running 12/12 from seed. What’s most exciting this week is that we’ve officially begun training, and with it, the first real divergence in plant architecture. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment – Gradual Shift, No Shock We’ve started to gently guide the environment toward a more “grown” climate, without rushing anything. • Relative Humidity: ~65% (slowly lowered from previous weeks) • Day Temperature: ~26 °C • Night Temperature: ~18 °C • CO₂: ~666 ppm • Lamp Distance: ~1.70 m from canopy • Substrate Temperature: ~22 °C • Solution Temperature: ~22 °C Airflow is still kept soft, but this week we’ve begun increasing movement slightly. The goal is to start encouraging stem strength and plant responsiveness, preparing them for the phases ahead while keeping stress close to zero. ⸻ 💡 Lighting – Raising the Bar, Naturally Light intensity continues its progressive increase, following plant demand rather than forcing development. • Previous Weeks: ~400–500 PPFD • Current Week: moving from ~500 toward 600 PPFD The plants are clearly growing into the light, which is exactly what we want to see. This gradual ramp-up will continue week by week, allowing the canopy to adapt naturally as structure and leaf mass increase. ⸻ Substrate & Containers • Medium: ProMix • Containers: 15 L plastic bags Root activity is clearly accelerating now. Even though top growth remains compact, internal development is well underway — something that becomes very apparent once training begins. ⸻ Nutrition – Consistency Over Reaction Nutrition remains unchanged and stable, reinforcing the idea that plants don’t need constant adjustments when they’re already happy. Current inputs: • Plagron Terra Grow • Power Roots • Pure Zym • Sugar Royal • Vita Race (foliar application) This balanced organic–mineral approach continues to deliver excellent results: lush green color, healthy leaf posture, and no signs of deficiency or excess. As always, the philosophy here is simple: don’t fix what isn’t broken. ⸻ ✂️ Training Focus – Low Stress, High Intention This week, we introduced Low Stress Training (LST) on one selected plant. Using long clips, the main stem is gently bent and guided almost parallel to the ground, opening the plant structure and allowing light to reach the lower growth sites. Leaves are carefully repositioned to expose side branches without damaging tissue or creating stress points. This technique: • Breaks apical dominance • Encourages lateral branch development • Keeps the plant shorter and wider • Promotes a more even canopy later on The trained plant is currently the shortest of the group, but already showing strong response. She’s entering her fourth node, and lower branches are clearly waking up and pushing upward. The other plants remain untrained for now, growing naturally. This will allow us to directly compare structure, stretch, and expression later on — same genetics, same environment, different guidance. What to Expect: • Slower vertical growth on the trained plant • Increased side branching • A more compact, bushy structure What Not to Expect: • Immediate explosive growth • Stress reactions • Delays in overall health This is guidance, not force. ⸻ 🍃 General Observations • Leaf color remains deep, healthy green • Growth is compact and intentional • Plants are calm and responsive • Training response is already visible • No signs of stress or imbalance Videos included this week show the entire room and all plants, giving a full-picture view of how the Nectar Drip is progressing as a group. ⸻ 🔮 Reflections on 12/12 From Seed This week reinforces why I’m really enjoying the 12/12 from seed approach. Growth may be slower on the surface, but structure, balance, and root development feel extremely solid. The plants are building themselves quietly — and that patience usually pays off later. ⸻ 🤝 Gratitude & Community Huge thanks once again to: • Zamnesia Seeds • TICAL • Plagron • Future of Grow for supporting this run and making this collaboration possible. And thank you to the community — supporters, critics, newcomers, and long-time followers alike. Everything shared here reflects my personal experience and opinion, including my choices, lessons, and mistakes. It’s a privilege to share this journey openly so we can all learn together. ⸻ 🌟 Week 4 Summary • Environment gently shifting • Light intensity rising naturally • First training introduced • Plants healthy and responsive • Structure beginning to form The Nectar Drip is no longer just settling in — it’s taking shape.

With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

Harvest time, both divine storm ladies did amazing under the Mars-Hydro TSW2000. Pheno 1 was an absolute monster! Huge dense buds!! Pheno 2, while the runt of the grow, also produced impressive buds. Will update in 7-10 days with weight and initial smoke report. Update - April 16 - dry weight of 47 grams on DS2 and 77 grams on DS1. Results are close to round 1 grow, very impressed with the TSW2000 light!

deluxe slurbet are frosting up nicely and drinking about 2-2.3L of water every 2-2.5 days. The GSC are drinking 1/2 that amount and are showing major signs of what I assume to be cal/mag deficiency. I dished out a lot of cash to go with a more “organic” calcium source with Herculean Harvest (1/2 cost was shipping to Canada) but it doesn’t seem to be cutting it. Maybe the issue is Mg. Maybe it’s a disease … as these gsc always seem to have issues.. not sure Fed both cultivars cal mag at day 33

Buenas noches familia, como estáis, yo bien fumado 😂🤣 aparte intentaré actualizaros el diario. Y es que esta farm cheese de Genofarm , esta espléndida, fijaos que color , que Salud, esta perfecta y es que controlando siempre el ph la humedad y la temperatura lograremos siempre estos resultados. No nos podemos pasar con la alimentación, y dar siempre lo necesario en todo el proceso de crecimiento y floración. Vuelvo agradecer a marshydro por la carpa y el foco , sin ellos este proyecto no es posible. Www.mars-hydro.com web: http://bit.ly/2uJAjgy ts600: http://bit.ly/3cnv0Ev code: an420 También agradecer a zambeza sus genéticas, tantos diarios no son posibles tampoco sin ellos. Aviso que este cultivo va a ser de los últimos que practique con la gama de advanced nutrients, y para los siguientes traeré distintas tablas con productos AGROBETA que también tienen una amplia gama de fertilizantes para nuestras plantas. Espero que estén pasando buen confinamiento entre buenos humos, la semana que viene vuelvo con más fumetillas.

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 please don"t trip out on this. I know my conditions are not accurate or my nutrient amounts. Lost my notebook with all my notes on this grow. All I have are the pics which I'll post. The dates of the pics may not correspond with the weeks in the diary. Kids, make sure you keep up to date if you are going to keep a diary online and keep a written one. I definitely learned my lesson. Several weeks of notes on 5 different strains lost. Well enjoy the pics at least.
