-----WEEK SUMMARY-----
(Following text was translated with tools and reviewed, sorry for mistakes, misspellings or nosense things)
As you can see I've done a defoliation this week. Yes, I have really gone over the top, I have removed many more leaves than I had, and the tails of the plants has not come to join at all due to the failed defoliation.
Being the first defoliation I do, I did not really know what I was doing and I went crazy. Now that it has been several weeks since I made this defoliation, I realize that I should not have removed the leaves from the nodes of the tails, because they have stopped growing and have not joined with their superior parts. Anyway, the plants are beautiful today and although they could be much better I feel very happy with them.
I know I've made 2 fatal mistakes in this grow
- The first has been the massive defoliation badly done, defoliation yes, but with head ... do not follow my example.
- The second failure that I see today, is that I did not leave enough growth time (18/6) after having made the last pruning and that has made the tails have been a length much less than what would have been desired, I think that 2 more weeks of growth would have been perfect.

-----SUMARIO SEMANAL-----
Como podéis ver esta semana he hecho una defoliación. Si, efectivamente me he pasado de listo, he quitado muchas más hojas de las que debía y las colas de las plantas no ha llegado a unirse del todo debido a la fallida defoliación.
Al ser la primera defoliación que realizo, no sabía muy bien que hacía y me lancé a lo loco. Ahora que han pasado varias semanas desde que realicé esta defoliación, me doy cuenta de que no debí de haber quitado las hojas de los nodos de las colas, pues estos han dejado de crecer y no se han unido con sus partes superioras. De todas maneras, las plantas están preciosas a día de hoy y aunque podrían estar mucho mejor me doy con un canto en los dientes.
Se que he cometido 2 errores gordos en este cultivo
- El primero ha sido la defoliación masiva mal realizada, defoliación si, pero con cabeza.... no sigáis mi ejemplo.
- El segundo fallo que yo veo a día de hoy, es que no dejé suficiente tiempo de crecimiento (18/6) después de haber realizado las últimas podas y eso ha hecho que las colas hayan quedado de una longitud muy inferior a la que hubiera deseado, creo que 2 semanas más de crecimiento hubiera sido perfecto.
-----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO-----

Diary
Plant was given nutrient solution every day when the sun went down in the concentration down bellow
- FloraSeries Gro-->1.8 mL/L
- FloraSeries Micro-->1.2 mL/L
- Flore Series Bloom-->0.6 mL/L
- Calcium solution-->1 mL/L
I started with 1L of tap water measured at 240ppm. Then added Calcium fertilizer from gardening store and ppm were around 500. Then Flora series nutrients were mixed in and ppm reading was around 1000. This is to high so I diluted the solution with tap water to 650ppm. I ended up with 2 L of nutrient solution.
Day 67
I topped again for the fourth time and did some prunning, plant now has 16 mains.
I also did some bending. Firstly I had to build some kind of support where mains would be attached to. I shaped 1 m long steel wire into circle shape, drilled a hole into plastic pot and pushed the 50 cm long wooden stick through it. Then steel wire was zip tied on to wooden stick.
Bending was quite easy to do. I used soft rubber wire to attach mains to the steel wire support. I bended in the way that mains were equaly distanced from eachother.
Weather report
Day 64-67
Weather was sunny, not a single cloud in the sky. Day temperatures were extreme, around 37 °C. Night temperatures were 29 °C
Day 68-70
Weather was sunny but the temperatures calmed down a little bit. During the day I measured around 31 °C.

Day 40. I was away and now I have this.
Honestly sad picture ... Without TLC autos grow like shit...
Had huge temp swings, you can see in photos ..
My friend was lazy with waterings ...
No training - and you have THIS.......
That grow is officially my smallest and not by quantity,but by size of girls and pity results...
I honestly doubt that some girls will reach even an ounce ...
Maybe some will be tasty at least ....
Gave first feed.
SuperCroped tallest girls and from now I will keep them with love and care ...
Dropped lights, now distance is good, but some girls didn't loved training and intense light at all ...
Thinking to clear all bottoms , they have like 8-10 branches max because off such small size, but some can't be called branches even, toothpicks ;))) hope some feed, love and good guidness will bring them on better track !!!!!
Happy Growing !!!

The plants are large enough for low stress training I also decided to add advanced nutrients three-component fertilizer ph perfect
As you can see in the photo Strawberry Gorilla develops better lower branches than Gorilla Zkitllez probably wasn't a greenhouse so dirty or maybe better genetics
I noticed that some plants are small and undeveloped, and I saw holes and moles
It was clear that something was eating the roots of the plant from below
While working on low stress training, a mole ran out of the hole and started burrowing to another plant
I really like animals, but I had to quickly decide what to do with the mole
I pinned him to the ground with my foot and stuck a stick behind his head :( that I have as a support for low stress training
I'm very sorry for the mole, I've never killed such a big animal...
May mother earth forgive me...
The next day I saw a vole crawling into a hole near a plant, so I decided to buy a mouse trap
I put a carrot in the trap and the hunt was successful
I am the alpha predator in my garden...
At the same time, while digging holes, I saved about 20 caterpillars that fell down and could not climb out
It turned out that caterpillars are a very rare butterfly that almost never occurs
I really like butterflies, when I take a picture of them on my plants I attach a photo from last season

SEMANA 11 y ahora si llegamos al final de este cultivo.
En primer lugar, a sido un cultivo relativamente facil. En segundo lugar, se ha obtenido al rededor de 400 gr. de las dos plantas en humedo. Finalmente, cuando pase su tiempo de secado volvere a pesar la cosecha.

Day 30 Feb. 18th- I feel like everything is going great
-all plants are now in final 7 gallon containers..have used a lot of soil!
-I have been tying the plants down as much as possible
-March 2nd will be 42 days and I think that is when I will switch to 12/12
-Day 35 Feb. 24th- I need trellis netting soon
I retie branches constantly for inner growth
HULKBERRY and GREEN GELATO are growing similar...LSD and ROYAL GORILLA are growing similar!
-Very interesting!!
* I have color coated the plants like I should have a couple weeks ago
-GREEN GELATO has all green pipe cleaners now...HULKBERRY has all yellow pipe cleaners.
very long branches and small inner growth
LSD is in all purple pipe cleaners. tying it down has done wonders! it has awesome inner growth!
Now the ROYAL GORILLA in all orange pipe cleaners! This plant is a pain in the ass lol. The inner growth and spacing is insanely close!!! so many shoots all tightly together. I have tied down anything I can. Unsure how it will work in budding next week

AVT is coming along nicely. Especially considering the abuse I put her through a few weeks ago. Buds are developing nicely and starting to get frosty 😃. I kind of dig the bonsai'ish shape she has near the top due to my over HST'ing. There will be no more abuse to this girl, only some defoliation as needed.
AVT is front-left in the group pics.

Week 8 Day 5
Hello GD Fam 🖐️🏻
Plants are looking SWELL
They have packed on a lot of weight and some pistils are turning but there is still a lot of new white pistils.
Trichs are still pretty clear too.
Was going to use Dragon Force in week 9 and flush with plain water for week 10 but now I'm wondering whether to push an extra week through them, what do you think GD community?
How do you all predict when to prepare for flush?
I find it difficult, it's easy enough to spot a plant that's ready based on trichs and pistils etc but how do you predict it 2 weeks early to know when to start using your final additives followed by just water in the final week?
I know dragon force and similar products push the plant to do so but if I can get more weeks out of a plant then I shouldn't I do so for a benefit to yield?
Especially interested in @SHOGUN opinion if they have a little time spare 😁
As you can see in the pics peeps I've caught the spirit of Christmas and decorated my grow space for the competition Xmas Grow:showman:️
Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas 🎅
Hope you like the video I made I'm pretty happy with the results considering I've got zero experience of decorating and video photography/direction or any photography for that matter 😂
