So got the net in place this week and started doing my ScrOG. Also did a bit of FIMing and some LST to help speed things up a bit. So far the weaving hasn't been as easy as I was told it be some ive been using some soft twist ties to help keep them in place. Going to veg and weave for another week or so before I switch it to flower. I was told you have to continue weaving for 2-3 weeks into flower but im worried that'll stress the plant out so if anyone that reads this knows other wise, comment below. Increased the feed from 1 liter to 2 liters because I wasn't getting any run off. Now I'm getting 10% run off every watering and I've been able to keep my run off ppm to less then 100 ppm above feed. So far I'm really like working with coco and don't see myself going back to soil unless it's outside plants. The environment has been fairly stable the last week with outside temperature droping. Had a spike in humidity yesterday because it got up to 75% humidity outside where I live. Luckly when that happened my tent only went up to roughly 67% but it's slowly dropped down and then stopped at 62%. There calling for another heat wave this week with it reaching up to almost 40c again for a couple days.... can not wait for summer to be over. I'm a ginger so I'm more of a autumn and spring kind of guy and plus this heat is making it difficult not only for this plant but also the ones I started seeding a few weeks back. Got so hot that they stopped growing for 3 days, 2 died and 3 got burned a bit. So far this 300w SE-3000 Spider-Farmer light is really rocking it. Great coverage, adjustable and detachable ballast have made this a easy grow even with the mad heat. Definitely going to look at the SE-5000 light that runs at 450w or the SE-7000 light that runs at 650w for my next light in the 4x4 tent. Next go around I'm going to try this light in a 2x2 tent I have that I use for germinating. Well that's all for now so happy growing everyone.

Day 57 - Starting week 9 and was gonna give the girl her first feeding today but soil was still a little damp so held off another day. She’s definitely looking better than I expected. Can’t wait to see her when she’s done. Day 58 - She finally dried up after the flush and upped the cal-mag, hoping to correct her deficiency, so time will tell. Gave her the first feed of the week since flushing her. Looks like she might have a little PK deficiency as well so upped the PK as well. Bud are definitely looking pretty nice though. Day 59 - Overall bud growth is looking good but I’ve upped the cal-mag and she’s definitely still spotting and yellowing. Thinking it might not be getting enough PK by looking at some deficiency charts but still a rookie and really am not sure. Gonna try upping the PK next feed and see what happens. Other than the leaves, buds are still fattening and smell amazing. Any experts have any input? Day 60 - Gave the girl a healthy dose of water and cal-mag tonight so we’ll see what happens. Though just checked the trichomes and there’s not many clear left so I don’t know if she’s got more than two weeks or so left. Fingers are crossed that she makes it, think she’ll be ok. Day 61 - Buds are still stacking and fattening so not too concerned anymore about the cal-mag deficiency. Think this girls got about 7-10 days left going by the trichomes. Day 63 - End of week 9 and all looks good! Thinking about chopping this week sometime. Pistils are starting to shrivel and no new ones coming. Trichs look like it’s close to being ready too. All in all, even with the cal-mag deficiency, she’s looking good.

Bud sites are getting ready now. I did a bit more LST and removed a few side shoots which never gonna make it due to lack of light. I replaced the light, under the TS 1000 she was praying all day long. On the previous run I had problems with the FC3000, it was turning itself off at random times. Mars Hydro was kindly sent me a replacement controller, so far it seems like this problem has been solved. However, I tried to use the app again and it’s still shite. 💩😂 So I just use the light in manual mode. Such a shame for the extra features I cannot use. For DLI I will use the following chart: AUTO FLOWER LED LIGHT INTENSITY Recommended LED PPF/PAR Values / DLI Based on 20 hrs. of light. Seedlings 150 - 200 umol / DLI 10.80 - 14.4 moles per day Veg up to 9" 450 umol / DLI 32.40 moles per day Early bloom 500 umol / DLI 36.00 moles per day Mid bloom 650 umol / DLI 46.80 moles per day Late bloom 750 umol / DLI 54.00 moles per day Ripen 400 umol / DLI 28.80 moles per day *** Use extreme caution going 700 umol or higher @ 20 hrs/day this could cause leaf burn*** The only difference is that I will keep this run in 18/6, so I ignore the PAR values above. IMO the best thing you can do is to read the leaves all the time and use the charts as a guidance.

They are doing great. I did add some slow release amendment because she's losing a little too much green for my liking at this stage. I am liking how she stacked and her flowers are getting fat fast. I love Barney's Farm genetics especially the Dos si Dos 33. It seems like once noticable flowers have formed they literally mature over night,one of the fastest blooming strains I have grown. Also she's so easy to clone even in mid flower, which is my favorite time to take cutting due to the prolific branching caused by the re vegging process also known as monster cropping. Cheers!!!

Here you see the wild Berry cake show that it’s male. Bagged and chopped sprayed down every thing to make sure there was no pollen floating around. No sacks seemed to be open yet. Also added a trellis net for the wedding cake x banana buttercups. Week 2 is over.

Day 29. All goes well and easy, now i know size of pot, its around 720 ml . Girl is stretching, but not so bad, was thinking to take off few bottom branches - but i will leave her untrained i think. In few days i will water her, but generally she drinks almost nothing, compared to girls grown in tents with good air, light and humidity .... Stem went still nice even without any fan, she is stiff ... Found my first Liberties, wonderful mushroom trip ;)))) Day 30. She is healthy green and i think if i will need to add anything - it will be potassium in middle of flower, maybe even nothing ... Girl started to drink faster. Think tomorrow is watering day again .... Day 31. 70 ml of 6.3 ph water in. Before it sprinkled 1g. of BioSys. Day 34. 150ml in !!! Had some run off and collected it. Think it will be enough for 3-4 days, girl is drinking a lot recently ;) Happy Growing !!!!

**Encontrarás la traducción a español al final de la descripción** From/Desde: 22/03/19 || To/Hasta: 28/03/19 From day/Desde día: 29 || To day/Hasta día: 35 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: Exactly the same video as 2 but accelerated +400% to fix it to 1 minute for instagram. Video 2: 7 days (29~35) TimeLapse, 1 image each 60 secs @ 30 fps Video 9: An overview video not as awesome as it's music 😂💪 Video 10: Myself working on the babies, lowering tops, topping & training. Video 12: Full working on the secondary Gorilla, twisting some branches, topping & training. -----WEEK SUMMARY----- Well, now i'm getting a bit scared as i adventured myself into Photoperiod, high training, full topping... in indoors at once. I feel that plants are going good, but i really don't know what am i doing, and if i'm doing well. Also i don't know how much time should i give them of vegetation stage, because i don't want to eternalize myself with this tent, so i'm planning to leave this upcoming 6th week and maybe the 7th of vegetation, but no more. Anyway they look pretty atm 😻. In video 10 the main-linning Gorilla suffered an accident as i grabbed the main left branch from a weak point and it has broken (sec 39 aprox.) so it has one less node than the right branch. -----WATERING CALENDAR----- 24/03/19 - 1.000 ml with all week nutrients @ 0.9 E.C. PH5.8 *****ESPAÑOL***** -----IMÁGENES & VÍDEOS----- Vídeo 1: TimeLapse, exactamente el mismo vídeo que el 2 pero acelerado a un poco más del 300% para ajustarlo a 1 minuto para Instagram. Vídeo 2: 7 días (29~35) TimeLapse, 1 imagen cada 60 segundos @ 30 fps. Vídeo 9: Un vídeo general no tan increíble como la música de fondo 😂💪. Video 10: Trabajando en las pequeñas, rebajando las alturas, haciendo topping y entrenando. Video 12: Trabajando a pleno en la segunda Gorilla, girando algunas ramas, haciendo toppings y entrenándola. -----SUMARIO SEMANAL----- Bueno, ahora estoy empezando a estar asustado. Me he aventurado a probar con fotodependientes, entrenamiento fuerte y super topping, todo a la vez. Siento que las plantas van bien, pero realmente no se lo que estoy haciendo ni si lo estoy haciendo bien. También tengo dudas sobre cuanto tiempo más dejarlas en estado vegetativo ya que no me quiero eternizar con este armario, por lo que estoy planeando dejar esta sexta semana de crecimiento y quizás una séptima, pero no más. Aun así y con todo, las nenas se ven preciosas 😻. En el vídeo 10 sufro un accidente en la Gorila con main-linning ya que amarré el final del tallo principal izquierdo por un punto débil y este se partió (sec 39 aprox.), por lo que tiene un piso de topping de más en comparación con tallo derecho. -----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO----- 24/03/19 - 1.000 ml con todos los nutrientes semanales @ 0.9 E.C. PH5.8

Just got back from vacation, and I'm very pleased to see that the plants are doing well! Was gone Saturday to Thursday, and had a friend check on them once to adjust the pH but other than that they've been on autopilot. The Autopots are amazing for this - I got 2 kits with 2 pots each (instead of 1 kit with 4 pots) which gave me an extra reservoir in anticipation of this vacation. I connected the tubes from both of them with tees, and it worked exactly as I hoped. There's still a few days left of water in the reservoirs, so I think I could theoretically go a full week if needed (though the pH does drift a bit). Switched my feeding approach from guess-and-check EC measurements to doing mass/gallon which has made mixing nutrients a lot more consistent. The current feed contains 5.5g/gal of Megacrop, 1.5g/gal of calmag, and 1g/gal of bud explosion (PK). This works out to be an EC of ~3.1 including my tap water. They've been at this strength for a few weeks and are due for a little bit more, but I didn't want to mess with nutrients before leaving since I'll want to monitor them. The smell is getting pretty strong, with a very sweet scent (almost like berries) when I open the tent. The buds are starting to get some weight as well. Interestingly the two plants that veg'd a little bit slower seem to be budding the strongest. The plant that had explosive growth during veg has a ton of tops, but the buds are smaller. But overall they're all looking pretty good. No signs of issues as far as I can tell, tons of trichomes on the buds and sugar leaves. Expecting ~10 weeks of flower, so they're about half way done. Hopefully they'll keep packing on some weight!

No signs of flowering yet, maybe slight formation of calxys beginning. Been spraying with molasses, neem, cal mag and liquid kelp (bioweed) and superthrive just once to hopefully delay flowering to increase yield. P.S. if youre new at growing DO NOT try this unless you know what your doing with hormones etc. Theres a chance it can turn your girls hermie. Just be aware!

Not sure if I missed a week on the diary. They are looking great apart from a little bit of yellowing on the lower part of the plants, pretty sure it's N deficiency. I was also slightly over doing the CalMag so that's been cut out this week. Bloom nutes are now full strength as well. Got the start of some nice buds coming on now & I'm. Hoping they'll add a fair bit of weight in the last 4 weeks, pretty sure this will be my most successful auto grow so far.

This week made a few oopsies . I gave un-ph’d water to one of the plants “moving to fast” . Started defoliation during this week to attempt to redirect plant energy into establishing a full canopy since flowering has initiated. Whilst defoliating I broke a branch that had to be taped to save it. Humidity went out of whack when I stored 4 prepped 5 gal pots for transplant in the tent sooo I’ve got to buy a dehumidifier bc at one point all my plants fell out in a fit . STILL haven’t filled these pots out, & I’m kinda sure/unsure it’s time to re-amend the soil for flowering. I’m conflicting on waiting until beginning/middle of week 7 so I can flush week 11 & 12 . I think that covers it pretty well Week 5 in the 📚 📕 📖.
