NOTES: Keeping the pH between 5,8-6,0 and EC at around 1,4-1,6 depending on system. EC at 1,5 seems to be optimal and my measurements are staying pretty steady at that level. Humidity is lowered to around 50% if I can. The tops are now at around 45-60cm height from the soil. Continuing the last heavier defoliation/pruning process that I started yesterday at the end of 2nd flowering week. I saw no signs of mold or any other issues as I went through the plants. After this week I'm going to change the nutrient solutions on the tanks and fill them with fresh nutrients with minor changes: Dropping the amount of Grow from 1,5ml to 0,5ml and increasing the amount of Bloom from 1,5ml to 2,5ml. After the change I'm only going to refill the tanks without adding any Grow and will instead increase the amount of Bloom to 3ml. Propably a one more change of fresh nutrients until flushing with Final Solution prior harvesting. Day64 (19.12.) Some more defoliation focusing on the upper growth revealing bud sites below them and keeping off the moisture. Already got a trash bag almost full of leaves since they've been pretty bushy plants on average. Day65 (20.12.) Continuing the last defoliation process. Day66 (21.12.) Continuing the last defoliation process, pretty satisfied with the results so far. Light penetration and airflow have increased greatly so I don't have to worry that much about humidity or possible mold any longer. Each strain has started flowering, all plants are females and buds have started to develop. Defoliating didn't seem to stress the plants as much as I thought it would. Day67 (22.12.) Day68 (23.12.) Refilled and added some nutrients with a stronger Bloom/Grow -ratio (~4:1) and left my girls to enjoy the Christmas Holidays as I did. I'll be gone for around three days, after that I'll change to new fresh nutrients as I mentioned before. One Ayahuasca Purple seems to be ahead of others, and a few other ones have clearly started to develop some buds too, rest of the plants are following closely behind. Each strain has some truly astonishing individuals, and I think Ayahuasca's have shown most variety between different plants. Overall everything looks pretty good I think. Hopefully can say the same after a couple of days as I come back. Happy holidays everyone! Day69 (24.12.) Day70 (25.12.) I added another Led light to my tent just before the lights turned off. Everything looks amazing!

In the middle of week 5 and things are still running well. I will try and get more pictures as the plant really starts the flowering push.I haven't done any thing new other then add some supports to certain stems that might need it later in the flowering stage.

SEPTEMBER 7 to 13, 2024 Sunrise 07:25, Sunset 20:22 for 12:57 daylight Specimen flowering well, and producing trichomes. Suspect it will be another 4 weeks minimum until they finish, possibly 5. No signs of nutrient deficiencies, only some very mild discolouration at leaf tips indicating some over fertilization. Have undertaken very mild and intermittent defoliation to remove fan leaves that are blocking sunlight, and or when removed improve air flow through the canopy. Greenhouse is very full, making it difficult to find angles for photography that provide perspective of plant size and development. Plants have encroached on walkway through the middle of the greenhouse. Scents from the plants are getting stronger by the day, but not overbearing. Day 134 - Drip watered 2.0L of plain rainwater Day 135 - Top Dressed with Optimize Organics - Bloom (2-7-5) and Worm Castings, which will be the last time soil will be amended; Watered in with 2.5L of Compost Tea as per recipe described above. Day 136 - n/a Day 137 - n/a Day 138 - Soil Pest Defense Spray (Neem Oil and Castile Soap) Day 139 - n/a Day 140 - n/a

Looks great, she's gaining nicely. But could take another 2 weeks before ready. Clones failed, they were already flowering, but was taking them off anyway I'm speculating her to be a 40gr-plant 🤞🤞🤞 Trichomes getting ready, too soon! Starting a few amber trichomes, still little amount, got some time, but will cut her soon, she's not the thickest 😞 could have been a lot worse though. Will have a few weeks extra to the stash

The bottom buds were done and getting amber, I thought of partial harvesting but the math didn't match and leaving the main cola didn't make sense so I chopped her down. Will be back 3 weeks after she's dried with the smoke report

This strain was a little inconsistent for me, but the one that did end up doing well was well worth me trying this one out again. Overall the process was great and she performed very very well. 9/10 would grow again!

Probably need to do some cleanup here soon. She's getting very bushy but I'm maintaining a level canopy, the outside shoots are catching up to the centers and I will let her grow about 6-8", clean up the bottom and flip to flower, maybe 2 to 3 weeks left in veg 1/1/23 - cleaned her up a lot, took out lots of shoots that will never see the top light and spread out the canopy. Very square shape.

**Encontrarás la traducción a español al final de la descripción** From/Desde: 12/04/19 || To/Hasta: 18/04/19 From day/Desde día: 50 || To day/Hasta día: 56 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----- I'm sorry for not having a tlapse video this week, i slaved the cam onto my 60x60 tent to record the first growing week of another plants, next week i will return with more tlapse videos. -----WEEK SUMMARY----- To have a visual size of the plants take into consideration that the SCROG net it's fixed 24 cm abobe the top part of the soil. There's something i want to correct and remark this week. About the question i asked some weeks ago on growers help, about the plant with decoloring problems (Photos 7 & 13), where i've choose the defoliation answer as the correct one. Watching the plant today, I would say that it can be an excess of co2 in the roots caused by a co2 tablet that I used during the first days of growth. You can notice how the part of the plant in the back does not present de decoloration it have in the front. Also remarking what i've told last week, i must say the SCROG is not a true SCROG, as some colas begin below others, and also colas are of different heights among all plants. Anyway i'm very happy on how everything is going. And insisting again, I have very very few experience growing cannabis, this is my 3rd grow, 2nd indoor, and first time with photo-period at indoors, and of course is the first time too i'm trying to apply growing technics on a serious way. I really don't know if i'm doing things right or wrong. -----WATERING CALENDAR----- 13/04/19 - 1.250 ml with all week nutrients -(Sensizym, bloom stimulator, bloom nutrition & amino complex) @ PH6.4 & 1.3 E.C. 17/04/19 - 1.250 ml with Silica Power, Pro Active, Bloom Stimulator, Bloom Nutrition, Sensizym & 5 drops of Amino Complex @ PH6.5 & 1.3 E.C. *****ESPAÑOL***** -----IMÁGENES Y VÍDEOS----- Siento no tener vídeos timelapse esta semana, he esclavizado la cámara en el armario de 60x60 para grabar la primera semana de crecimiento con otras plantas que tengo en el. -----SUMARIO SEMANAL----- Hay una cosa que quiero corregir y remarcar esta semana. En sobre la pregunta que realicé hace unas semanas sobre la planta que tenía una decoloración (Fotos 7 y 13), en la que escogí la respuesta de la variegación. Viendo la planta a día de hoy, yo diría que es un exceso de CO2 en las raíces causado por una pastilla de CO2 que usé durante los primeros días de crecimiento. Al fijarse bien se ve como la parte trasera de la planta no presenta las decoloraciones y sin embargo la frontal si. Para tener una idea más o menos certera del tamaño de las partes de las plantas, tened en cuenta que la red está fija a 24 cm de la parte superior de la tierra de los tiestos. También remarcando lo que dije durante la última semana, he de decir que el SCROG no es un SCROG real, ya que las colas no empiezan desde la misma altura ni son de la misma altura, ni las plantas son de la misma altura. Pero yo estoy muy contento con como va la cosa, vuelvo a insistir que es mi primera vez con foto-dependientes indoor, mi segundo armario indoor y el tercer cultivo de mi vida, y por supuesto la primera vez que aplico o intento aplicar las técnicas de cultivo. Lo estoy intentando realizar bien y de manera eficaz, pero realmente no se si lo estoy haciendo bien o mal, yo simplemente me lio y veo como responden las plantas. -----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO----- 13/04/19 - 1.250 ml con todos los nutrientes semanales -(Sensizym, bloom stimulator, bloom nutrition & amino complex) @ PH6.4 & 1.3 E.C. 17/04/19 - 1.250 ml con Silica Power, Pro Active, Bloom Stimulator, Bloom Nutrition, Sensizym & 5 gotas de Amino Complex @ PH6.5 & 1.3 E.C.

Starting week six of flower. Conducting a defoliation experiment. It has good controls being a rdwc single strain grow in a 4 x 8. So defoliated half the tent and leaving the other half untouched.

SUNDAY 5/5: Rearranged the gardens..have 17 plants in the 4 x 5 now...yowsa! MONDAY: Plucked some dead leaves and did a trichrome check on her. She's getting close now! Prolly about 70% cloudy and 5% amber! TUESDAY: I observed some white spots on a few leaves here and there, so I sprayed her today with Trifecta Crop Cure, a concoction of a bunch of natural plant oils. I already decreased the humidity in the room to 45% with my new 70L dehumidifier, so I think she'll be fine. I'll spray her again tomorrow and the next day, then I'll have to hope that did the trick, because she is already in the harvest window. WEDNESDAY: I watered her today and included a bunch of terpinator, bud candy, bembe, and cha ching. It was her last dose of any nutes...flushing with spring water from here on out. THURSDAY: Took a couple of photos and tried installing my new Solacure FlowerPower UVB light, but it was dead on arrival.😢..back to the 15.0 reptile UVB lights for now I guess...

2/11/24 - Day 96 - Water change day!!! Everything is still going great. I'm just waiting on her to tell me what to do. Her leaves are just now starting to lighten up just a tad. The Trichomes are still a mix bag but mostly clear, with less then half cloudy and maybe 1% amber, maybe. So there is still some time. Keep in mind im going to flush her with just water for about a week. So whatever week i choose to start that there will be atleast one week left. 2/12/24 - Day 97 - She's FINALLY showing signs of the end! The leafs are starting to turn a light green. Soon a lot of the leaves will start to turn yellow. I'll check the Trichomes one more time and then we will start the flush. 2/14/24 - Day 100 - We are getting close, today is day 100 of the life cycle. In a week or two she will be coming down!

Skipped a week in my journal last week, as I was traveling. Had my neighbor water my plants. Came back and everything was looking great with the Lion Claw. I WAS having some minor early deficiencies with my photoperiod plants though... so I decided to go ahead and give everything a solid feeding of Foop Bloom 1, 2 and Sweetener. Also top dressed the Lion Claw and mulched with rice straw to help with the soil drying out a bit too quickly. She's a big plant for being in a 5-gallon pot. I have a sneaking suspicion that my neighbor didn't water them quite enough while I was gone. Will probably continue with the Foop feedings... probably once per week. Don't want to overdo it. 8/4 LIGHTLY sprayed with gravenstein apple FFJ and OHN. 8/6 LIGHTLY sprayed base soil area with neem oil / castile soap mixture.

i switched to a worm casting and kelp extract from Fox Farm big bloom and took out the Morbloom. I was getting enough from the open sesame that didnt require it. I would find that I didnt even need the open sesame and ran a flush half way into the week. The plants didnt show signs of burn but I checked the soil and it was getting salty. I ran a flush with sledgehammer about 5 gallons per plant. run off turned 6.8 and the ppm turned back to 300 like in early to mid veg. I then went back to a tea about 4 days after letting the soil dry out again. Keep an eye on the soil at this point. I will be flushing everyt plant like this before flower from here on out unless KNF decides to be the way to go. I defoliated and lollipopped the plants this week too. The flush and the stretch bushed these suckers out. The soil I used through out is a custom home made recipe that I perfected. if you want details to the sources dm me on IG @ Proud_to_Grow_loud I am showing the last 5 weeks now of these strains and pheno hunt.

En la semana 10 nos encontramos con una planta más fornida, con un sistema enfocado en alimentar y nutrir los cogollos, podemos ver que poco a poco las hojas se vuelven más pequeñas y la parte principal toma cada vez más fuerza aumentando el volumen del cogollo, seguimos con riego de 1.5 litros que a consideración de la maceta es poco, pero este cultivo siempre lo maneje a niveles de agua bastante limitados. Podemos notar que space cookies está un poco más delgada en tanto a masa principal a comparación de somango47, esto lo atribuyo a su condición de pythium adquirida en vegeta, pero su cantidad de flores no es menor. Los aromas predominan en el armario, más aun con su tamaño de 60x60, es como ir a un mercado de fruta jajajaja, por un lado somango mostrándose como una niña muy frutal y con algunas tonalidades cítricas con cogollos muy resinosos, Space Cookies por su parte con tonalidad más Tendiente al pino y frescura, algo más rocoso su aroma en comparación de somango. En lo personal estoy muy contento con el cultivo y en cómo se han desarrollado las niñas, es mi primer cultivo y estoy muy motivado y con conocimiento nuevo listo para implementar en mis próximos cultivos. Se despide Troll60x60.
