Scored some solution grade organic fertilizers and blasted my plants. I fed solution grade langbeinite (0-0-21.5) and loaded with sulfur and magnesium. I found some liquid bone meal (0-12-0) and loaded with calcium. Another new nute is solution grade azomite, aka the a-z of minerals... it is the ash from an ancient volcano mixed with an ancient ocean water in Utah. I’ll feed those new nutes once per week as they’re kinda hot. Otherwise everything is the same as previous weeks.

Week 4 closes out. She took to the topping really well, even if the LST turned into HST when i noticed i ripped her armits open. Oh well 😁 But she is doing more than fine, and i dont plan on stopping her torture anytime soon 💀 Defoliated a bit here and there so it doesnt get too crowdy, also the lower leaves were fully shaded so they had to go. Also some air circulation near the bottom of her was needed. Also, shes putting it in 5th right now. picking up the pace 👌 Feeding is up to 3ml/L Grow, 1ml/L Power Roots, watered this week with 4.5L at 5.8 PH.

Flowers are fattening up nicely, she took a bit of stress here and there but she takes it with no problems. Endoboost hydro is keeping the roots safe. Now we are waiting for those tops to fatten up.

Posting this as I’m on the last few days of the 3rd week from germination Great progress, a lot of roots for such a short period but not too much plant growth, will start watering daily instead of watering every 2-3 days Topped the girls today (Day 18 from germ) and starting to do mainline on all the Bubba kush.

Apple Pie. mmmmmm 👋Top is a clean cut, no confusion for the plant, road ahead is clear, by completely removing the main growth tip, the auxin source is eliminated. The plant permanently halts vertical growth from that main stem and immediately sends its energy and hormones to the two new, evenly spaced branches just below the cut. Fimming slightly different because a small tuft of the top growth is left behind, the auxin disruption is temporary and less severe. The plant recovers more quickly and sends its energy to multiple surrounding growth points, often creating four or more new shoots from the same spot. It will eventually regain some vertical dominance after a few weeks if left to its own devices, but with a little more LST, bending the apex to the same height as the rest of the internodes, this shatters dominance, hopefully creating around 8-9 main shoots growing at equal height once recovered and grown out. Reduced environmental intensity for now and let her focus on dealing with this new stress for a week or two. When H+ ions are added to soil, the first nutrient displaced from exchange sites is typically aluminum (Al3+), if it's present, followed by calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), and potassium (K+), because aluminum and these base cations have different binding strengths. The order of displacement depends on the lyotropic series, where ions with a higher positive charge and those with weaker binding strengths are displaced first. The specific order of nutrient displacement is determined by the lyotropic series, which ranks the strength with which cations are adsorbed by soil particles: Al3+: Most strongly adsorbed, so if present, it will be displaced by H+ ions, leading to increased solubility of aluminum and potential plant toxicity. Ca2+: Displaced next, as it is more strongly bound than Mg2+ or K+ but less than Al3+. Mg2+ and K+: Displaced after Ca2+. The displaced nutrients can be lost from the root zone through leaching, becoming unavailable to plants. As H+ ions increase, the proportion of acid cations (H+ and Al3+) on the exchange sites increases, while base cations (Ca2+, Mg2+, K+) decrease, resulting in a lower soil pH. The amount of photosynthesis (water splitting) directly determines the availability of H+ ions (protons) in a plant. 90% of water is for cooling of photosynthetic apparatus the other 10% is split for its H+ among others things. Carbon sugars, like glucose, do oxidize in soil through a process primarily driven by microorganisms, which break down these sugars for energy. This oxidation converts the sugars into carbon dioxide (CO2) through cellular respiration, a key part of the soil carbon cycle, though some carbon may also be incorporated into soil organic matter. The rate and extent of sugar oxidation depend on factors like oxygen availability, the presence of Fe oxides, and soil redox conditions, which can all influence the process. My understanding of why we flush. Just plain water, what does it do? Strips the medium of salts and nutrients making it empty. What does that do? Triggers nutrient recycling within the plant. What's nutrient recycling? It is a natural part of plant senescence, which can be triggered once you know the switches. A 24:1 carbon-to-nitrogen ratio will also trigger. Why won't it trigger autophagy for me? Nitrogen needs to be gone, gone, gone almost. Ammoniacal (organic) nitrogen takes 4-5 times more water to separate it from soil particles than nitrates so what happens is most people jist flush the nitrates, leave all the ammoniacal in there and this prevents autophagy initiating. Nitrogen decays differently depending on its form during the dry. Ammoniacal nitrogen will oxidize in the air, leaving no trace. But nitrates do no decay and turn volatile and smelly and remain trapped until smoked, no matter how long you cure it does not oxidize. This is why you need to trigger it and begin the denitrification process prior to harvest to get rid of all the nitrates. Otherwise, you will smoke it. Flush till autophagy begins, just make sure you add no nitrogen afterwards. Micronutrients for trichomes. Don't leave the medium empty for 2 weeks, that does nothing but reduce yield 10%ish. Trichomes are another thing. Trichomes themselves are not directly affected by flushing; rather, flushing affects the plant's nutrient uptake, which influences the development and final state of the trichomes. Trichomes are filled with antioxidants in the last weeks, which is what makes them cloudy. A lot of the processing of antioxidants requires energy and nutrients (mostly micronutrients ), so you don't want that soil empty for 2 weeks, you just want the carbon nitrogen ratio 24:1and no higher. She still wants what she needs to ripen. Processing antioxidants is energy-intensive; heat and light accelerate the rate at which THC converts to CBN. This is why you lower DLI, lower temps. By doing so, you reduce the oxidative workload caused by photosynthesis, which opens up the oxidative capacity for the production of antioxidants. THC is mostly processed at night when the plant's oxidative capacity is generally moreso "free and available" for work

As you can see, LST works well, Gorilla Strawberry tolerates LST very well, in almost all plants I managed to keep the branches at the same height I made a minor defoliation of large leaves. The rest I slide under the twigs every day so that they do not make a shadow. Due to a high wind that lasted 2 days and LST one of my Gorilla Strawberry broke in half and holds on about 20% of the stem. I was thinking about trying the method HST and I will remove the cracked part of the plant, but I did not have the heart to cut it off, so I decided to use the patch that I carry with me in the first aid kit if I cut myself. From two twigs and a patch I made a primitive splint. The next day I took an insulating tape with me into the forest and once again wrapped the splint for better strength. And as you can see, the plant lives and thrives :) Next, I want to show you the pest Leaf Minner, which makes tunnels in the leaves and then pupates on the underside of the leaf I tear off the leaf or crush the pest Next, I would like to show you a very useful beetle, a ladybug that eats, for example, aphids, in the photo you see a pupated ladybug larva, do not kill it !!!

The plants are doing amazing! Both are producing more and more trichomes, and the buds are noticeably thickening up.🌱 #1 (the tall one) continues to impress—it’s now giving off a strong tropical mango scent! The aroma is so sweet and fruity, it’s crazy. Meanwhile, #2, despite being so small, has developed a surprisingly large main bud! The smell is completely different, though—leaning more towards a hazy, complex scent that’s hard to describe.🤔 Super happy with the progress so far—let’s see what the next weeks bring!😊

Día 15 de vegetación de Tropicanna Poison XL (Día 20 desde germinación) El crecimiento de nuestra Tropicanna Poison XL sigue con un buen ritmo. Aparecieron algunos pulgones, pero los eliminamos con Bio Pets, un pesticida orgánico nacional (Chile). También agregamos micorizas, calmag, bio grow de BAC y Nirvana de Advanced Nutrients. Actualizacion día 21 de VEGETA (Día 27 desde la germinación) El FENO 2 se a espigado considerablemente, se pone una base para que este mas cerca de la luz led Al parecer el FENO 3 es el mas estable de los 3 especimenes.

2024-08-31 They may have stopped to stretch, iam not sure, but i think so, you can see how the buds are forming, and they are already purple, thats fun leaves are changing color thats the tribute to the last 2 days where it was very hot and sunny, and tehy needed lots drinks and the big growth costed some leaves too. but anyways, not a Problem at all the Girl in the garden has more yellow leaves. BREEDER INFORMATION The cross of Frisian Dew with DucksFoot created Frisian Duck. It has such name due its characteristic leaf shape that looks like a duck's traces. The plant has a good growth in greenhouses and outdoors and also indoors. The strain is easy to grow and suit for begginers. It is harvested at the start of October outdoor and after 8 weeks of flowering indoor. The plant reaches 1.5 m indoor or 2.5 m in height outdoor. It demonstrates purple colors during a blooming and looks like a christmas tree. Frisian Duck develops compact buds. The strain has spicy aromas and tastes of pine, citrus and fresh wood.

**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
