**Encontrarás la traducción a español al final de la descripción** From/Desde: 19/04/19 || To/Hasta: 25/04/19 From day/Desde día: 57 || To day/Hasta día: 63 You can find the Gorillas Diary here (Texts are the same this week): ** Podéis encontrar el diario de las Gorilla aquí (Los textos son iguales esta semana):** https://growdiaries.com/diaries/25675-makingmoney-with-gorilla-mm-vs-gorilla -----IMAGES & VIDEOS----- 1 - Before defoliation 2 - Defoliation 3 - After defoliation -----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. -----WATERING CALENDAR----- 20/04/19 - 1,250 ml with Sensizym, Silica, Rhino Sk, Bud Ignitor, Big Bud, Bud Candy & Bud Factor-x @ PH6.4 & 1.2 E.C. 23/04/19 - 1,250 ml with All week nutrients - (Silica, Sensizym & Bud Ignitor) @ PH6.5 & 1.5 E.C. *****ESPAÑOL***** -----IMÁGENES Y VÍDEOS----- 1 - Antes de la defoliación 2 - Defoliación 3 - Después de la defoliación -----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----- 20/04/19 - 1.250 ml con Sensizym, Silica, Rhino Sk, Bud Ignitor, Big Bud, Bud Candy y Bud Factor-x @ PH6.4 & 1,2 E.C. 23/04/19 - 1.250 ml con todos los nutrientes semanales - (Silica, Sensizym y Bud Ignitor) @ PH6,5 & 1,5 E.C.

START WEEK Day 88 04/03/22 +I think maybe the video is the best way to show my garden. Exposure is all crazy in tent. +I have sort of been on cruise control. Just watching the girls grow. Actually beginning to see some trichomes appear as a silver haze ( hence Platinum OG) on some of the leaves. EXCITING!😬 +As they grow, the differences and techniques on each plant show up. One plant was slow from the start and is just beginning to flower. Partly because it has become eclipsed. +I have been "leaf picking" thru last week and will continue this week. I can't seem to keep up with the vegetation. I am beginning to get the hang of it. +I will do a complete Reservoir change this week. +ppm at or just above 1000 +pH 5.9 +I think the one plant has almost stopped stretching +light is 100% and 24" from main canopy. Some kolas are as close as 16". Although by my design, I can see the importance of having all plants similar size and even canopy. THINKING OUT LOUD ?Do I remove the largest fan leaves? ?How large should the buds be now? They are about Quarter size. ?How far down and what grow should I remove? ?Thinking, down the road, about flush and nutrient schedule? Darkness before harvest? ORDER MORE SEEDS ANY COMMENTS OR SUGGESTIONS ALWAYS WELCOME

20cm growth this week. Flowers are forming and I can see purple on them 😍 The bad news this week is I was bending her lower branches.. trying to spread her out a bit. I've managed to snap both of them! She has been repaired best I can do, so will monitor it over next day or so to see how effective the fix is. I don't hold out much hope for one branch.. Looks like it's wilting already 😞

Startet the germination of this plants on 07.05.2018. 4 of 5 Royyal Gorilla Auto seeds germinated and are growing well. They are staying in my garden and i hope that they will get more and more sun this coming week. 1 of 4 is quit strong , and ist already frosty and has good buds , hope they will get big and fat. the other 3 plants are a bit slower and one of them is a bit small but bushy. first "outdoor" grow for me in a not soo sunny area.

Finally harvest time arrived 🤗 It’s been a great run, though I had to improve a lot along the way. But as usual there was a way to get things done and finished up😎 After a long heatwave I decided to chop the whole tent, just a bit before I actually wanted to. But I see amber trichomes and heavy buds, so I think it’s safe to chop now, so here we go. 🤩 Can’t wait to taste this after so long watching over it🤤 More details to come.

This Xtrakush keeps surprising. What a vigorous plant it's a pleasure to grow. All week we've seen huge bud formation and shes filling out. Only the last day growth has stunted a little. I think it was heat and I was pushing the light to its max. She seems to recover and I might have lost a day or two of growth. Her roommate, the Orange Hill Special, outperformed her a little in bud development. It was my mistake and this sort is made to grow outdoors in N European conditions. When we push for the limit, it's logical we find or sometimes go over the edge. Thank you for checking in this week, Im getting more and more impatient to see these plants develop and the harvest.

Weekly update, sorry for being a little late. I was out of town the passed week. Wow is it wild to come back and see them after being gone. The smell,look, amd beyond sticky is amazing. I chopped half as they're ready, the other half will come down in the next couple of days. All in all happy growing.

🌱Welcome to my 2 x 4 ft autoflower tent. Who else is stoned as fuck? Here we have Seedsman's Strawberry Cheesecake. We just finished the 3rd week of flower. She is staying short and compact like an indica. Only 3 inches of vertical growth the past week. Stretching only half as fast as some of the other in the tent. I prefer this structure of a plant! Short compact and bushy 😌💨 💧She has been receiving water every other day about 1 L of pH adjusted to 6.5. ✂️ TRAINING: NONE 💡⚡Check Mars Hydro out on Instagram! @marshydro_aliexpress2 💡⚡

Last final defoliation done, now buds are fully exposed to the lights and the best part, harvest trim will be easier. Still it took me around 8 h altogether to defoliate all of them. Tones of buds and frost , amazing smells. Won't rush will give it a bit more to swell.
