It was time. Her trichomes are cloudy as the weather today, with just a couple ambers. Total wet weight of the buds was 390g 😳😳😳 I kept 200g for myself. The rest was sliced, diced and was given to the worms. After drying, there should be about 40g. Have I said already how much I hate this local law 😭 She smells delicious nonetheless! And is as sticky as a yellow fly trap 😂 Had hoped for more color though. Next time I run her, I'll see if I can keep the temps under 25c. The stalk and stems were all pink and I suspected the rubarb color was from Mg deficiency, but she persisted through 1.5g/l of Epsom Salts, so I concluded she wasn't deficient. She was a true pink pheno! ----------------------------------------------------- It was a fun experience, with a couple challenges during the grow! Definitely repeating this cultivar in the future! Thank you Kannabia for this amazing strain!! Thank you Spider Farmer for the amazing gear!! Thank you Plagron for your amazingly stable nutrients and medium!! 😍😍😍

2 1/2 litres of feed per plant every 48 hours Avge temp 80F avge Humidity 44% removed 600w LED left just the 900w too much light with both. The plants with both lights on went into overdrive, uptaking more water and expelling less, causing a big drop in humidity 35 and less, removing 600w light humidity went back to mid 40's. Useful to know if you have high humidity extra light can help reduce it, or so i'm thinking. Did some more light cropping.

Its time to prepare for war. *Blows bagpipe* FISH SH!T THE ORGANIC SOIL CONDITIONER (used twice before and always noticed instantly) Fish Shit is a living product! It provides a complex Microbial profile that includes thousands of different species of bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. This profile is closer to a natural ecosystem than anything you will find on the market. Fish Shit helps release essential oils and terpenes which contribute to the building of a myriad of flavonoids. Flavanoids play a key role in the development of the most potent aromas and tasteful flavors of a plant and its fruit. Fish Shit contains beneficial microorganisms that help plants maximize nutrient uptake. It does this by transforming nutrients into more usable forms and keeping these nutrients in the soil longer. During photosynthesis plants naturally produce exudates (chemicals that are secreted through their roots). Through these exudates, plants can attract the types of good bacteria that are beneficial to them at different points in their growing cycle. These good bacteria cover the roots and act as a barrier to the invasion of disease-causing organisms that may harm the plant. What Are Enzymes? Before we dive headfirst into how, exactly, enzymes can benefit cannabis plants, it helps to understand a little about what these microscopic proteins do. Essentially, enzymes facilitate chemical reactions. They do so by binding with a substrate and forming or breaking molecular bonds. In this context, the substrate is the molecule upon which an enzyme acts to boost the efficiency of a reaction. •substrate /sŭb′strāt″/ •noun •The material or substance on which an enzyme acts. A surface on which an organism grows or is attached. An underlying layer; a substratum. Enzymes are proteins with complex 3D shapes that feature regions called active sites. When the substrate binds to these active sites, it forms an enzyme-substrate complex that causes a chemical reaction to take place, temporarily changing the structure of the enzyme and ultimately causing molecules to either come together or break apart. As a result, molecular products are released, and the enzyme returns to its original shape. Specific enzymes are capable of binding with certain substrates, as the substrate fits into the active site more or less via a lock-and-key principle. Although, new research suggests a more accurate theory of "induced fit", in which enzymes and substrates undergo structural changes to facilitate the reaction. If you take the human body as an example, we have an abundance of enzymes in our saliva and digestive system. These molecules bind with substrates in these regions (food particles), working to break down the food we eat into usable parts before converting them to energy. Enzymes in cannabis work in a similar way to the example highlighted above. Typically, enzymes occur in soil naturally, but if your soil mix is lacking organic material, or you're growing hydroponically, then adding enzymes directly to the substrate is crucial. By using them in cannabis growing, enzymes not only help break down essential nutrients into smaller, more readily available pieces, but they also support the digestion of dead root cells, clearing a direct path for nutrients. Overall, enzymes make it easier for your cannabis plants to absorb all the elements they need to reach their full potential. For growers, a plant that reaches its full potential means a bucketload of juicy buds come harvest. This is essential if you want to reuse a pot with old systems left over like mine. Common plant enzymes include: •Cellulase •Xylanase •Beta-glucosidase •Hemicellulase •Amidase Amino acids are a crucial, yet basic unit of protein, and they contain an amino group and a carboxylic group. They play an extensive role in the gene expression process, which includes an adjustment of protein functions that facilitate messenger RNA Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are the three main pillars of nutrient solutions and fertilizers, but there are countless other nutrients that your cannabis plants need to produce the best possible harvest. Amino acids are one of them. You may have noticed that amino acids get a lot of attention from bodybuilders and other athletes. That’s because they play a key role in the synthesis of protein, which, as you probably know, is super important for sports recovery and muscle growth. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and the foundation of both plant and animal life. But what do amino acids do for cannabis? WHY IS PROTEIN IMPORTANT FOR CANNABIS? Just like proteins are important for the human body, they are equally important for the growth and development of plants. For example, proteins help plants: •Facilitate the growth of intracellular plant structures •Promote energy generation •Stimulate metabolic processes •Facilitate the absorption and transportation of nutrients So, where do plants get these vital proteins from? Well, unlike humans, plants can’t source proteins or amino acids from other organisms. Instead, they need to create their own amino acids, and then use these to build protein. That's why gardeners, much like athletes, go wild for amino acid supplements. Amino acids help plants by… • Increasing their production of chlorophyll, which ultimately improves their ability to photosynthesize • Serving as an easily absorbable form of nitrogen • Stimulating the synthesis of key vitamins • Improving their resistance to pests and diseases • Boosting the strength of their cells Amino acids also serve as the precursors to auxins, a group of plant hormones produced in the meristems—the apex of the stems where new leaves and stems are born. Auxins play a key role in the plant, activating genes for plant growth and development by triggering a multitude of vital plant functions. In other words, they determine what its size and architecture will look like. Auxins influence the development of branches, flowers, and roots, and even help to regulate the photoperiod response of the plant. Some amino acids, like cysteine, also work together with antioxidants like glutathione to help cannabis plants deal with oxidative stress, which can be caused by high-intensity lighting, some nutrient solutions, and high levels of CO₂. Unlike humans, plants can synthesize all the amino acids they need to survive and develop properly. Unfortunately, however, amino acid synthesis is a really high-energy process, and plants may struggle to produce enough amino acids when exposed to stress. WHAT FACTORS AFFECT A PLANT’S ABILITY TO SYNTHESISE AMINO ACIDS? Any kind of stress can affect a plant’s ability to produce enough amino acids. This includes: • Drought • Temperature extremes • Poor soil health • Pests • Diseases • Poor lighting • Lack of space • Poor root health WHAT DOES ALL OF THIS MEAN FOR WEED PLANTS? If you want to push your plants to their extreme in terms of floral growth and resin production, you should look into amino acid fertilizers. By making amino acids readily available to your plants, they’ll be able to use crucial energy to grow and bloom, rather than focusing on synthesizing amino acids themselves. Game of Inches, this is another Plants can absorb amino acids via their roots and leaves. They can also benefit from amino acids during both their vegetative and flowering phases. The fastest way for plants to absorb amino acids is via their leaves. The foliar application of amino acids is believed to improve the transportation of nutrients, increase transpiration, and boost photosynthesis. Hence, I recommend feeding your plants with foliar amino acid fertilizers. When doing so, however, carefully measure the amount of fertilizer you use, as—like with any nutrient—overfeeding can damage your plants. FOLIAR FEED AND SOIL SOAK • 1 crushed queen anne carrot • Add 2 tbsp of NPK Raw powdered water-soluble cane molasses • 20ml h2o2 • 1 crushed radish • 0.25 tsp NPK Enzymes • 0.25 tsp NPK Amino Acids • 50ml coconut water ( nature's own amniotic fluid packed with amino, enzymes ) + The sound of songbirds. Onto the predators 1250 -Green Lacewings Lacewings are extremely voracious predatory insects that feed on several pests. In adulthood, it feeds on pollen and nectar. In the larval stage, it feeds on aphids, thrips, and mealybugs at all stages of growth. It can also attack spider mites in moderate quantities. It is initially an aphid predator, but very effectively controls thrips and mealybugs infestations. It is so voracious that in the absence of prey, it will feed on its congeners. Lacewings are cannibalistic if there is no food available for them. It is therefore important to introduce them into an infestation situation, and not just preventively. •congener /kŏn′jə-nər/ •noun •A member of the same kind, class, or group. •An organism belonging to the same taxonomic genus as another organism. •A thing of the same kind as. or nearly allied to, another; specifically, in botany and zoology, a plant or an animal belonging to the same genus as another or to one nearly allied. Ideal temperature 20°C – 26°C Ideal humidity 60% – 70% Predatory stage life cycle 21 days Introduction rate 4 weeks Storage Refrigerator Use Immediately Are there any specific instructions on how to use this predator? Lacewings are available on small paper cards that you can hang to plant stems. On the cards are dozens of eggs ready to hatch. There are also sterile eggs they can feed on once they have hatched before they are ready to disperse in the foliage. It is important to use them quickly upon receipt to avoid cannibalism. If you don't use them right away, you can store the cards in the refrigerator for 24 to 48 hours to prevent the eggs from hatching too quickly. Avoid storing them for longer than this or you risk losing eggs. 1250 eggs are divided into 7.5 cards, 2500 eggs on 15 cards, and 5000 on 30 cards. The application rate is one card per square meter of growing surface. Is this predator best used for preventive or curative treatments? Lacewings are used as a curative solution. Anything else I should know? Lacewing eggs hatch approximately 24-72 hours after the cards are exposed to room temperature. When they emerge, the lacewings are just 1.5-2 mm long. They are very small so they are difficult to see. Once hatched, they will stay on the cards for a few hours and then disperse in the foliage. You quickly lose sight of them if you have not witnessed the hatching. They then live in the foliage for about 3 weeks. Often, you will see them towards the end of their larval cycle. After feeding for 3 weeks, they will triple and even quadruple in size. At that point, they are easier to see. But they remain very discreet insects, it is not abnormal not to see them. Egg carcasses left behind on the cards do not disappear after the hatching has happened. It's normal to see eggs still on the cards. Visually it is very similar before and after hatching. Also, on the boxes, there are sterile ephestia eggs which are used to feed the lacewings once hatched. Not all lacewing eggs are viable either. Only a certain percentage of lacewing eggs will hatch. Once hatched, the eggs are white. You can observe this using a magnifying glass. With, 5000 Stratiolaelaps Scimitus It is used to prevent or control thrips pupae, fungus gnats larvae, and root mealybugs in the soil. It can also be used for red mites in bird farms or hen houses. The adult is about 1 mm long and is medium brown with a beige triangle on its back. Another fun fact about them is they can survive without prey. They can eat algae and plant debris. This is why they can reproduce and stay in plants for long periods. Ideal temperature 15°C – 23°C Predatory stage life cycle 18 days Introduction rate 2 weeks Storage Room temperature Use Within one week Are there any specific instructions on how to use this predator? Sprinkle directly on the growing media. They can live in all types of substrates like potting soil, coconut fiber, rock wool, cedar mulch, etc. Stratiolaelaps establish easily so they are permanently fighting pests. One introduction is generally enough unless you have an infestation. In this case, introduce them at least twice at a 2-week interval for best results. If you grow your plants in a 100% mineral substrate, it will have to be released more often since there is less organic matter than in traditional soil. Do I need to take any specific precautions? Stratiolaelaps breed in the top layer of the soil. So it is important not to disturb them in the first days following their introduction. They don't like temperatures below 8 ° C. So be sure not to introduce them in a water-saturated or cold environment. Release them 24-48 hours after your last watering. They are very sensitive to chemical acaricides and diatomaceous earth. These methods are incompatible with their use.

So this was quite the productive week..! They grew enough after the topping for em to bend over. First step to ScrOG has been done and I'm quite happy with the results 💚 Next step is the screen of course! Then let them full it and switch em Just a reminder.. I'm growin 4 plants in a 120*120 so a little patience would be required if you, like myself, would like to fill that space up ❤️💛💚 One day I'll fill it with just one plant 😆😆

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.

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.

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.

Day 72 - Into week 11 now and gave her 2 gallons of water and nutes today. Overall she’s doing really well and budding up nicely. She’s already extremely frosty and looking forward to the next few weeks to see what she does at the end. Day 73 - No real issues and nothing much else going on with the girl right now. Just took her out of the tent for some updated pictures and tucked a few leaves when I put her back for more light penetration. Day 74 - Nothing much new really happening today. She’s frosty as hell and budding up nicely. She’s got another couple of days before she needs any sort of water or nutes but I’ll check in her tomorrow and if she needs some, I’ll give her some. Day 75 - Nothing much to speak of with her right now. She got 2 gallons of water and nutes today and her buds are really looking gorgeous. She’s probably the strongest smelling plant that I’ve grown so far. Day 76 - Almost the end of week 11 and all is good. Not much happening right now but did defoliate a few giant fan leaves. Other than that, just enjoying her smell and watching her swell. Day 77 - It’s the last day of week 11 and she’s doing great. Not much really going on, she’s stacking buds and continuing to frost up even more than the beginning of the week. She should need some water and nutes by the end of the weekend. All in all it looks like this is gonna be a very easy trim for once.

Wow well she does look sorry for herself. A couple of days ago I sprayed her with pesticide. This has damaged her leaves. I hope she can bounce back from this as it's a critical time in her growth.

The plant took off this week. I am relatively new so was working through getting my PH measuring/balancing down. Now that I have established a better method the plant responded well. Put in a scrog to help even the canopy for the future. The other plant I have running is a bubblegum autoflower that is a few weeks older (right). Personally I really loved the look of the gold leaf at this point, it had a very nice spiral look to it almost like an xmas wreath.
