April 10, day 21, the Euforia is starting to take off. Lots of branching that will need to be trained low and wide to fill up as much of the 6sqft space as possible. I turned on my second HLG 100 light to bring the lighting up to 200w. I did this to make sure as many of the new branches have light as possible, as some of the fan leaves have grown is very thick and the plant is quite stocky. I raised the distance of the lights as I don't want to overdo it with the second one running and the internodal spacing is already tight. I pushed up the EC slightly without any issue, so 1.4 is around where I will stay through veg. I also have allowed the PH to range lower as I am less concerned about cal mag issues at this point. Fertigations will continue to be 1x per day untill the roots spread more and the coco dries quicker. Then it will be up to 2x or 3x per day as needed. April 12, day 23, the Euforia is growing well, while remaining very tight and bushy. I did some minor LST tying two dominant side branches down to start opening up the plant, but will need a bit more height and growth before I can continue with more areas of the plant. April 13 day 24, lots of vigorous growth and the LST is working to expose more new growth to light for this very dense little plant. Increases fertigations back to twice daily, for 20 second watering intervals. The 26 seconds of watering was barely producing runoff now that the plant is larger, so this increased watering should help keep the coco well flushed even when the plant is significantly large. April 15, day 26, removed some leaves blocking nodes and lower growth that will never develop. I don't like removing leaves when I don't have to, but the plant is growing in thick enough there needs to be more room for growth around the center of the plant. Also performed some more LST and leaf tucking. April 16 day 27, LST widening the plant and opening up the center to new growth. Removed a few leaves as needed. The Euforia is growing well and I am hoping that by the end of the flowering stretch it will take up the majority of the tent. One topmost branch that was growing in thin after the FIM had to be removed while still fairly young. It's connection point seemed so thin it made the branch extremely fragile, and I decided I did not want the risk of it falling off after spending a lot of energy on bud production that could be spent elsewhere. When taken off I could confirm that it was around 1mm of the branch that was actually connected to the main stock, which just isn't enough. I will keep this in mind for the future in terms of FIMming vs topping. RIP lil' branchy.

The smell is Extremely Loud very skunky and funky.. if it was illegal here.. it would be hard to explain to the Common Man or woman.. but it's not hard to explain or it involves no explanation at all because the common man and woman are currently also growing there Gardens and are all harvesting in the next week or so.. this plant brings the most uncommon folks together.. I'm an old man and have witnessed this repetitively throughout my life span.. kind of like breathing😕

These girls are so freaking easy to grow. Very resilient. They already have a pungent skunky smell and they're color is perfect.

**Encontrarás la traducción a español al final de la descripción** From/Desde: 22/02/19 || To/Hasta: 28/02/19 From day/Desde día: 1 || To day/Hasta día: 7 -----INTRO----- Hi Buds!!, this is my new diary, the first i made while growing, as the other diaries i have were made close or after harvest. This is my second indoor grow, you can check my first indoor grow here (Auto BlueBerry Mazar x4): - https://growdiaries.com/diaries/24700-auto-bbmazar-x-4-1rst-indoor-60-to-90 Also i have a couple of diaries of an outdoor grow series (my first grow experience) that i made this summer, there you will find Lemon Zkittle, Think Big, Auto GlueBerry, Critical + 2.0 Auto, Auto Girl Scout Cookies & Auto Mazar (some are in progress and some are to come), check my user page if you are interested: https://growdiaries.com/grower/abducted. This time i'm going to grow 2 different Feminized Strains, 2 x Gorilla Glue @Dinafem & 2 x Money Maker @StrainHunters, i will make separate diaries as suggested by @GrowDiaries. You can find the Gorilla Diary here: https://growdiaries.com/diaries/25675-makingmoney-with-gorilla-mm-vs-gorilla My expectations inspired by @TOTEM awesome Man-Linning Dr. Grinspoon plant (https://growdiaries.com/diaries/18090-dr-grinspoon-by-totem) are to try to perform a small Man-lining in both plants or in one of them, i'm still guessing. I'n not trying to reach the kind of monster TOTEM has, as i don't have equipment nor even place. Also i want a max 3,5 months grow, so i'm planning 4 or 5 weeks of growing, and my pots are just 8l, but i want to see where i reach with a feminized strain and with the equipment i have, trying to apply technics for first time. I just LST'ed a Lemon Zkittle, but i wasn't a really LST. -----IMAGES & VIDEOS----- Photo 1: Seeds stocked from summer Video 5: Timelapsed planting non germinated seeds Photo 9: Somangos at back, they've grown almost wild outdoors, tomorrow (02/03/19) i will harvest them. You can see the first weeks of that Somangos in this diary (weeks 1 to 7): https://growdiaries.com/diaries/24700-auto-bbmazar-x-4-1rst-indoor-60-to-90 Video 16: Timelapsed transplantation -----WEEK SUMMARY----- This week is the setting up medium week, the day 21 (22 already as were 4:40 a.m.) i prepared small pots with soil as seen on images and videos and buried the seeds at about 1 cm deep, in this case 2 Gorillas and 2 Money Makers. After buried i irrigated the pots with 2 syringes of 60 ml on each. And put them under a 50W Led (pink/purple light), you can see the process in video 5. The first gorilla (A.Gorilla) showed itself few minutes past day 23, the day 24 at about 00:00, the second Gorilla (B.Gorilla) emerged the same day 24 at 15:44, the first Money Maker (B. Money) appeared the day 24 between 23:30 & 00:00 and the last money (A.Money) appeared the day 25 at 13:50. The day 28 i transplanted the babies to 8 l pots (Root Poch), you can see the process in video 16. -----WATERING CALENDAR----- 22/02/19 - 120 ml with all week nutrients @ 0.4~0.5 E.C. PH5.5 24/02/19 - 10 ml with all week nutrients @ 0.4~0.5 E.C. PH5.5 (over buried seed) 28/02/19 - 1.500 ml with all week nutrients @ 0.4~0.5 E.C. PH5.5 (Setting up the 8l pot) *****ESPAÑOL***** **Encontrarás la traducción a español al final de la descripción** From/Desde: 22/02/19 || To/Hasta: 28/02/19 From day/Desde día: 1 || To day/Hasta día: 7 -----INTRO----- ¡Muy buenas compañeros!, este es nuevo diario, el primero que seguiré mientras se desarrolla la plantación, ya que los demás que he escrito lo he hecho con la cosecha a punto o ya realizada. Esta es mi segunda experiencia indoor, podéis ver la primera en este diario (Auto BlueBerry Mazar x4): - https://growdiaries.com/diaries/24700-auto-bbmazar-x-4-1rst-indoor-60-to-90 También tengo unos cuantos diarios que forman una serie de cultivos correspondientes a lo que he plantado este verano, que ha sido mi primera experiencia. En ellos encontrarás las genéticas Lemon Zkittle, Think Big, Auto GlueBerry, Critical + 2.0 Auto, Auto Girl Scout Cookies y Auto Mazar (unos los estoy desarrollando ahora mismo y otros están por venir), si están interesado visita mi página de GrowDiaries: https://growdiaries.com/grower/abducted. Esta vez voy a crecer 2 genéticas feminizadas diferentes, 2 Gorilla Glue de @Dinafem y 2 Money Maker de @StrainHunters, haré diarios separados como recomienda @GrowDiaries. Podéis encontrar el diario de las Gorilla aquí: https://growdiaries.com/diaries/25675-makingmoney-with-gorilla-mm-vs-gorilla Mis expectativas para este cultivo son introducirme en alguna técnicas de cultivo, inspirado por la increíble Dr.Grinspoon de @TOTEM alineada desde el principio (https://growdiaries.com/diaries/18090-dr-grinspoon-by-totem). Voy a intentar hacer una alineación principal pequeña en una de las plantas o en ambas, aún estoy decidiéndome. Por supuesto no voy a intentar crear un monstruo como el de TOTEM, pues no tengo ni el espacio ni el equipo adecuados, además de que quiero que el cultivo no me sobrepase los 3 meses y medio, por lo que planeo hacer 4 o 5 semanas de crecimiento únicamente, también está el hecho de que mis tiestos son de 8 litros que no es demasiado, por lo que quiero ver hasta donde llego con una genética feminizada y el equipo que tengo, intentando aplicar las técnicas de cultivo principales por primera vez. Este verano le hice LST a una Lemon Zkittle, pero no fue un LST verdadero. -----IMAGENES & VÍDEOS----- Foto 1: Mi stock de semillas desde verano Vídeo 5: plantando las semillas en TimeLapse Foto 9: En el fondo unas Somangos, han crecido medio salvajes en exteriores, mañana (02/03/19) haré la cosecha. Podéis ver las primeras semanas de estas Somangos en las 7 primeras semanas de este diario: https://growdiaries.com/diaries/24700-auto-bbmazar-x-4-1rst-indoor-60-to-90 Vídeo 16: Transplante en TimeLapse -----SUMARIO SEMANAL----- Esta semana es la de configuración del entorno de cultivo, el día 21 (22 ya pues eran las 4:40 a.m.), preparé unos tiestos pequeños con tierra como se ve en las imágenes y vídeos, y planté las semillas a aproximadamente 1 cm de profundidad, en este caso 2 semillas Gorilla y 2 Money Makers. Después de plantar las semillas regué los tiestos echando 2 jeringas de 60 ml en cada uno. Después dejé los tiestos bajo un foco led de 50W (rosa/morado), podéis ver este proceso en el vídeo 5. la primera Gorilla (A.Gorilla) apareció unos minutos pasado el día 23, el 24 a las 00:00 +/-, la segunda Gorilla (B.Gorilla), salió el mismo día a las 15:44, la primera Money Maker en aparecer (B.Money) apareció también el día 24 entre las 23:30 y las 00:00 y la última que pareció fue la otra money (A.Money) el día 25 a las 13:50 El día 28 transplanté a lso tiestos definitivos de 8l de la marca (Root Poch), podéis ver el proceso en el vídeo 16. -----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO----- 22/02/19 - 120 ml con todos los nutrientes semanales @ 0.4~0.5 E.C.

And we’re off! 😸👏 So I’ve kinda been coerced into growing this Fastbuds Frostbanger Auto 🤷‍♂️😸 For the last few months me and a few others on here have been chatting about all growing the same strain and comparing how we do along the way. Sounded fun so we agreed on a date. Thankfully the one seed I bought has Germinated so that’s a relief 😅😸. It’ll be a squeeze trying to fit her in my veg tent in her final pot at present, so I’ll probably start her in a small pot and pot her up into something bigger at a later date 🤷‍♂️ These are the other guys who are growing along with me, all nice lads 💁‍♂️ check them out. - Fatnastyz - Valiotoro - Spike-GreenGrower I plan on giving her dechlorinated tap water for the first week, then I’ll start her on a proper nutrient feed. Happy with how everything looks, until next time 🌱

Welcome to the beginning of week 7 for Karen. Thank you for stopping by! I'm counting this as the first week of flowering but she's been sending out pistils for two weeks, so I guess that weeks four and five should have been flowering weeks. Sorry about that. Surprised to be here but excited to see the next few weeks. Day 44: This girl is amazing. She took the horrendous start I gave her for the first three weeks, and just exploded. Look at her now! If you are really interested, now look at Misty and Nesia - imagine what they could do! I am really pleased with Karen here, I think she has more surprises in store. I am very glad I decided to LST or she would be towering above everything else in the tent. I have noted early Mg deficiency, as more advanced on Nesia. Correcting with foliar and re-addition of CalMag to feed. Day 44.5: Fertigated approx 1.5l. Defoliated approx 10 leaves. Slightly adjusted LST. Day 46: Fertigated 2l. Karen is very thirsty. Her roots have breached the side walls at the bottom of the pot in 360 degrees... this is the biggest root system I've had on any potted plant to date. She is stretching fast now, I think by the end of next week she will be done stretching. I must get a photo of her stem. The base is ridiculously thick. Overall Karen is shockingly good compared to expectations from the poor start. I can only imagine how big she would be. She is currently 27cm tall and at least 50cm in diameter. I count at least a dozen colas. Day 47. She is now 29cm tall and pistils are bursting forth at a phrenetic pace. I have added a comparison shot of my grow space for size reference. Day 47.5: Defoliated approx 30 fan leaves. Slightly adjusted LST. Rearranged tent and cleaned floor. I have ordered some risers to raise the pots off the floor, this will make it easier to deal with run off. While I was inspecting Karen I had a good look at her roots. The fabric pot she is in has viewing flaps (they were designed for potatoes) and I had a look... every bit of the pot is full of roots, and they're all properly pruned. I see no circulation or binding. If Karen produces at anywhere near the rate she is supposed to then she might yield as much as 150g. Day 48.5: Rapid changes. Pistils everywhere, more stretching. Karen is very thirsty. Fertigated. Added pot risers and adjusted pot. Did a little LST to separate some bunched colas a bit. Had a really good inspect of the root system. Wow this plant is a beast. Day 48.75: Fertigated 3l Day 49: Height 34cm Diameter: 60cm. End of week summary. Really big week, she is stretching quicker and quicker. Today she has developed a striking scent. I will now have to keep the tent closed so temps will rise. Day 49.5: Removed about 10 fan leaves. On reflection back over this week I think I needed to be taking a top and side photo, so I shall do that from next week.

So as I'm not home this week i will just update what i did on my last day home. I added another reservoir, put a pump in it and a fill hose up into my main reservoir (which is 4 feet off the floor to gravity feed my blumat system). Installed a JB and wired in my pump and 2 level switches. They are wired in series with the switches in the normally closed position so the water level will break or make the circuit. Switch 1 is in the main reservoir to call for water and switch 2 is in my spill tray to stop a potential runaway from happening. After getting everything filled to the levels i wanted i did a test run and it worked great. Unfortunately i didn't look closely enough at the specs on the switches and #1 burnt out because it's meant for dc power not ac. My bad , so i hooked up a timer set it for 2 minutes a day as i didn't have time to fix it. I decided that it was a good time to flip over to flower and I'm going with 13/11 lighting schedule see if there's any difference. Happy growing

Sep 6: Tropicana Cookies FF is doing great. Maybe not as much flower maturation last week as I expected but we’re just starting week 8 of flowering. So likely the end of September which is fine for the late start on this plant. Sep 7: decided on a final top dressing of malted barley and Power Bloom. Seems they need a bit more P.

Victory over the moth larvae. Removed them with pipe cleaners. Still spraying Monterey BT. No new larvae holes. Reinforced several plants with velcro tape. The flowers are becoming heavy. The scent is overpowering. Sugar Cane is extraordinarily heavy and the flowers have not yet begun to swell. Gorilla Glue 4 is heavy and the branches have started to bend outward from the weight. All three were reinforced. Garlic Z is not a large plant and the buds are behind all the rest in progress but the flowers are close and compact.

Die Woche 4 der Blüte ist rum und die Ladys duften einfach hervorragend💚 allen vorraus die GorillaZkittlez, wahrscheinlich auch die, die zuerst fertig sein wird. Gefolgt von der StrawberryBanana, die auch schon schöne Buds entwickelt. Die "letzte" im Bunde ist die GorillaAuto, allerdings sieht sie so aus als würde bei ihr am Ende am meisten bei rumkommen. Bei der StrawberryBanana musste ich mittlerweile zwei Triebe entfernen auf denen Mehltau zu sehen war. Sie ist auf jeden Fall die empfindlichste von allen. Blätter waren bisher nur wenige befallen. Die wurden aber auch direkt entfernt. Ich bin mittlerweile über die gesunden Teile der Triebe und den Blättern mit Neemöl rüber und hab dabei so gut es ging die Knospen verdeckt. Bisher gab es keine neuen Anzeichen von Mehltau. Die StrawberryBanana braucht also etwas mehr Aufmerksamkeit. Die GorillaZkittlez kommt sehr gut mit milden und feuchten Tagen zurecht und entwickelt sich sehr schnell. Ich denke das sie in ca 2 Wochen bereit zu Ernte sein könnte. Sie riecht auf jeden Fall schon zauberhaft. Zu große Fanleaves und Blätter die Triebspitzen verdeckt haben werden bei allen Ladys regelmäßig entfernt. Ein minimales Lollipopping haben die Ladys auch bekommen. Düngen/Gießen: Tag 43/22F gab es zum Wasser nur 2ml/L StickyFingers und 1ml/L PowerBuds zum Wasser und etwas ph- um auf einen ph-Wert von 6.7 zu kommen. ________________________ Durch immer wieder mal Regen und recht mäßigen Tagestemperaturen von 18-22°C musste recht wenig gegessen werden. Ich hebe bei allen Ladys die Töpfe an und entscheide beim Gießen wieviel jede Pflanze braucht. Tag 47/26F war recht warm und alle Ladys brauchten wieder ordentlich zu trinken. Hier gab es zusätzlich auf 5L Wasser: 1ml GreenSensation, 4ml PowerBuds, 3ml PureZym von Plagron, 4ml BioBloom von BioBizz als klein BloomBooster und 10ml StickyFingers von XpertNutrients. Tag48/27F gab es durch langsam wärmere Temperaturen wieder etwas zu trinken. Diesmal gab es auf 5L Gießlösung 4g BioEnhancer von GreenHouseFeeding, 4ml PowerBuds von Plagron. ____________________________ Möge uns die kommende Woche mit viel Sonnenschein begleiten💚🍀

Converted to the sp-250s from some Meizhi blurples. Roughly same wattage at the wall. Let's see how we do! Ladies have been topped with some LST. No scrog this time as I don't have enough space to get in/around the tent...

Here we go! This should be an epic run! Hella Jelly by Humboldt. A rare sativa strain nowadays with a 45 day flowering cycle. If you know me, I'm in love with the Orange Creamsicle x Hella Jelly cross. I've run it twice now so I know I'm gonna love the parent genetics. This is under the Medic Grow Mini-Sun-2. This 150w light is built for the 2x2. I've got it up high but will lower slightly accordingly. I've been spraying the tops with water twice a day and will do that until one week. Dimmed to 40% Here are the lights details: Medic Grow Mini Sun-2 150W LED Model: MN150-022 Spectrum mode: V1 Efficacy: 2.8 umol/J Thanks for stopping by! You can find the light on Grow Diaries: https://growdiaries.com/grow-lights/medic-grow/mini-sun-2-150-watts You can find the light on Medic Grow's website: https://medicgrow.com/

Dear diary, Week 7 has brought us closer to flower. Despite some variations in their development, they continue to progress steadily. 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀 ⏰ Day 46: Provided a feeding session with a nutrient strength of 1.64ms and a pH level of 5.7. After tying down the tops yesterday, the plants exhibited upward growth again. To maintain uniformity, I re-tied down G.C #2, allowing the other plants to catch up in length. ⏰ Day 47: During the evening feeding session, I administered a feeding with a nutrient strength of 1.67ms and adjusted the pH to 5.6. This also is the day that marks the final topping session, bringing the total number of tops to 16 for each plant. The plants have responded well to the previous training, and I'm eager to observe their continued growth with the mainlining technique. ⏰ Day 48: I provided the plants with a feeding containing a nutrient strength of 1.67ms and a pH level of 5.7. ⏰ Day 49: During the evening feeding session, I maintained a nutrient strength of 1.67ms and adjusted the pH to 5.6. Additionally, I removed another set of fan leaves to optimize light distribution among the tops. ⏰ Day 50: The plants received a feeding with a nutrient solution at a strength of 1.64ms and a pH level of 5.8 ⏰ Day 51: During the evening feeding session I provided the plants with a nutrient solution at a strength of 1.64ms and adjusted the pH to 5.8. ⏰ Day 52: Administered a feeding with a nutrient solution at a strength of 1.64ms and adjusted the pH to 5.8. To ensure optimal light exposure for all the tops, I removed the last set of old fan leaves and did some more low-stress training on G.C #2 and minor adjustments on #3 to align their heights more closely with the other plants in the tent.

Das Blümchen gibt Vollgas! Die Blütenstände werden immer dicker und duften schon extrem betörend fruchtig. Der Duft sorgt mal wieder für Uneinigkeit. Melonendüfte oder doch Rhabarber? 🤣 Insgesamt sorgt die Pflanze bisher für Begeisterung. Die Buds sind für diese Phase schon extrem weit entwickelt obwohl gerade mal die Hälfte der angegebenen Blütezeit verstrichen ist. Wo das noch hinführt bleibt abzuwarten. Entweder sehen wir nach dem angegebenen 56 bis 63 Tagen keine Blätter mehr unter den Trichomen
