the weather this week was bad, little sun, a lot of rain, but the girl is growing well, big and bright leaves, thick trunk :) I really hope for a good summer;) I think she can be very beautiful :).

Chugging along week six licking my wounds and biding my time all is well though I ain’t mad leasons learned no reason to cry over spilt milk

Day 14: This week I'm increasing the humidity inside the tent with a wet towel and containers with water. I also removed the half bottles that were over the plants to generate extra humidity, because they got burned because of that, as you can see in the leaves, there are some brown snipes. Day 15: I added a towel and containers with water inside the tent to increase humidity, I managed to bring it up to 67% in some parts of the day. Day 16: I'm convinced Mario has thrips. I will add Potasium Soap in a couple days to kill any thrips possibility, and also add a moistmeter in the soil to know exactly if I'm overwatering or not. Day 18: Started with the feeding. Rizothonic + Vega at 25% of the recommended dosage. Added just 12ml of water on each plant. I don't want to overwater. Also added a new fan to the setup. Day 19: Added Potasium soap to the leaves during the dark hours. They look better already. Day 20: Added water + Solution of water with 25% nutrients I already created on day 18. I'm going reeeally slow with nutrients. D21: Forgot to make photos. Sprayed potasium soap solution at 2% over the plants, to avoid any pests.

She’s looking good, still growing her buds more frosty and dense. She smells citrusy and piney so far. She’s continuing to fatten and frost.

**Encontrarás la traducción a español al final de la descripción** From/Desde: 10/05/19 || To/Hasta: 16/05/19 From day/Desde día: 78 || To day/Hasta día: 84 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----- 5 - HomeMade Organic & Cheap CO2 generator (more info in week summary) 9, 10, 11 & 12: The bud on the right is a Gorilla one, the buds in the left or/and in the middle are Money Maker ones. 15 - Same Gorilla plant buds, one affected by CO2 in the roots and the other not. -----WEEK SUMMARY----- The smell is more sweet and intense every day, friends that came home turned them eyes into crystals when they see this little babys. The size isn't awesome, but the high ammount of buds full of crystals plus the strong sweet aroma makes them awesome. Buds are growing and fattenning very very well. This week i added a boost of HomeMade CO2, i never measured the results of this invention so i can't give CO2 measurements. This method is widely used in home aquariums and there is where it comes from. For those interested i'm going to write here more detailed instructions. The 4 liters i've made will last for about 2 weeks. ---NEEDINGS--- - 250 ml Bottle - 6~10 l Bottle - 400 g Sugar / l water - 1 Envelope of organic baker's yeast / l water (CHEMICAL WILL NOT WORK) - 3 mid plastic tubes 40~50 cm - 1 short plastic tube 5~6 cm - 4 tube adapters - Hot glue to seal adapters The process of creating CO2 is simple, mix water, organic yeast and sugar in a bottle, and the sugar will free CO2 in the process of fermenting to alcohol due to the yeast. 1. Make a hole in the center of the big bottle cap, insert an adapter and secure it with hot glue 2. Make 3 holes in the small bottle cap and glue the other 3 adapters 3. Link both caps with one of the mid tubes and insert the other tubes on free adapters 4. Insert a short tube in the bottom of the small cap in the adapter that came from the big cap 5. Watch the Video!! -----WATERING CALENDAR----- Plants are beginning to drain the pots a bit faster so from now on i will raise the water ammount on each watering day 0.25 l. 11/05/19 - 1,5 l with All week nutrients -(Nirvana & Blombastic) also Big Bud half dosed @ PH6.4 & 2 E.C. 14/05/19 - 1,5 l with Bud Candy, Big Bud, Nirvana, B52, Bud Factor-X, Sensizym & Blombastic @ PH6.4 & 1.5 E.C. *****ESPAÑOL***** -----IMÁGENES Y VÍDEOS----- 5: Generador de CO2 casero, barato y orgánico (más info en el sumario semanal) 9, 10, 11 & 12: El cogollo que sale a la derecha es de una Gorila, el de la izquierda y/o el de en medio son de una Money Maker 15: Dos cogollos de la misma planta, uno afectado por CO2 en las raíces y el otro no -----SUMARIO SEMANAL----- El olor es más dulce e intenso día a día, los amigos que vienen a casa a verlas se quedan ojipláticos al verlas. El tamaño no es una maravilla, pero la gran cantidad de cogollos llenos de cristales añadido al aroma que entra por las fosas nasales las hacen increíbles. Los cogollos crecen y engordan de maravilla. Esta semana he añadido un boost de CO2 casero, nunca he hecho mediciones de los resultados por lo que no puedo darlas. Este método es ampliamente usado en peceras caseras y de ahí saqué la idea. Para aquellos interesados dejo aquí instrucciones más detalladas. Con los 4 litros de agua que he preparado yo da para unas 2 semanas. ---NECESITAMOS--- - Botella de 250 ml - Botella de 5 a 10 litros - 400 g de azúcar por litro de agua - 1 sobre de levadura de postre orgánica (LA QUÍMICA NO FUNCIONARÁ) - 3 tubos de plástico de tamaño medio 40~50 cm - 1 tubo de plástico de tamaño pequeño 5~6 cm - 4 adaptadores para los tubos - Cola caliente para pegar y sellar los adaptadores El proceso de generar CO2 es simple, mezcla agua, levadura orgánica y azúcar en una botella, y el azúcar liberará CO2 en el proceso de fermentación a alcohol. 1. Haz un agujero en la tapa de la botella grande, inserta un adaptador y séllalo con cola caliente 2. Haz 3 agujeros en el tapón pequeño y haz lo mismo con los otros 3 adaptadores 3. Conecta los 2 tapones con uno de los tubos y conecta los otros 2 tubos a los adaptadores restantes 4. Conecta el tubo pequeño en la parte libre del adaptador del tapón pequeño que viene del tapón grande 5. Mira el vídeo -----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO----- Las platas comienzan a secar los tiestos un poco más rápido, asi que de ahora en adelante incrementaré 250 ml de agua adicionales en cada riego. 11/05/19 - 1,5 l con todos los nutrientes semanales -(Nirvana & Blombastic) BigBud mitad de dosis @ PH6,4 & 2 E.C. 14/05/19 - 1,5 l con Bud Candy, Big Bud, Nirvana, B52, Bud Factor-X, Sensizym y Blombastic @ PH6,4 & 1,5 E.C.

I think I should have defoliated more of her and fed her more but next time...I only removed the yellow leaves as I've read the large fan leaves are my solar panels...V1 yield 4 oz dry let's see V2.

On that day, I took a small tea ceremony set with me to the plantation. After enjoying some very good pu-erh tea with a pleasant alertness, we got to work. I also took some photos and shot a few videos. Later, one of these photos would win the "June Photo Contest."

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve reported anything I am sorry I haven’t been able to keep up. I’ve been going through a lot with getting them to flower ...different nutrients changing to 12 / 12 light ...it got very hot and lost my air...we will see if it hurt there growth ...

A small update from yesterday. Looking forward to the next weeks. Hopefully they will frost up a little more. They really love the compost tea!

Moved the rest of my autoflowers to my 4x4 tent on 3/21/23 they will be under a 12/12 light schedule until my last photo period plant finishes up

🌸 Week 1 – Flowering Phase Begins After a solid preflower prep, I’ve officially flipped the grow to flowering! I’m now running 3 phenotypes in bloom: 🔹 #36 🔹 #38 🔹 #45 Pheno #40 has been isolated due to potential signs of hermaphroditism — nothing confirmed yet, so I’ll keep a close eye on it over the next couple of weeks before making a final decision. Structurally, things are getting interesting: 🔸 Two phenos are showing a tall, US-style stretch, with wider internodal spacing — just like what I’ve seen in modern cultivars I’ve grown in the past. 🔸 The other two are more old-school in structure, shorter and stockier, with tighter node spacing. 🌱 All 4 phenos have been successfully backed up in a DWC cloner for preservation — the hunt continues! Really excited to see how these girls develop over the next few weeks 🙌 Let’s bring out those peachy gassy terps !

110 días en total con 50 días de vegetación y 60 días de floración termina este hermoso y oloroso cultivo!! Contento con la experiencia, sin duda estas plantas mostraron el linaje de sus padres, creo que con menos tiempo de vegetación me hubiese ido mucho mejor, pero feliz ya que estas plantas mostraron un engorde 100% de sus cálices hasta los más bajos y eso me encanta. He terminado esta semana a pura agüita y como se puede ver en la decoloración de las hojas el flawles finish y el lavado de raices ayudaron a que las plantas coman sus reservas, las hojas muestran quemaduras en los bordes por que las mantuve a alta temperatura con la iluminación a tope las últimas 3 semanas. Al fin he terminado y me encantó el resultado Ahora a cosechar!!

Trichome sind Milchig bis Bernstein 5%

Va tutto bene, credo che siano meno di 20 giorni e dovrebbero entrare in prefioritura nel giro di qualche giorno altro Dovrei eliminare qualche foglia parasole?? O lascereste così?!

Beginning of week 8. They are doing well. Its starting to get smelly. Very sweet smell. They are full of trichoms and looking amazing. They stopped stretching and start fatting up.

1/12 4:14AM MONDAY!!!!!!!! CBG IS GOOD!1 LOWERD THE WATTAGE, EFFICIENCY IS GOOD. GREAT WHITE MYCO HAS INCREASED UPTAKE AND AND!!!! PHOTOSYNTHESIS EFFICIENCY ......FUCKING AWESOME 💪💪💪💪 1/12 4:47AM I asked GROK: are samsung leds on my mars hydro lights seem more efficient than the PPFD meter says, I lowered the lights again by a few watts? Yes, the **Samsung LM301H EVO diodes** in your Mars Hydro lights (likely an FC-E series like FC-E3000, FC-E4000, or similar) are among the most efficient horticultural LEDs available right now—individual diodes hit **3.14 μmol/J** efficacy, pushing the whole fixture to around **2.85–2.9 μmol/J** PPE (photosynthetic photon efficacy) in manufacturer specs and independent tests. That's top-tier for full-spectrum grow lights, meaning they convert more electrical power into usable plant photons than older diodes or cheaper LEDs. If they "seem more efficient than the PPFD meter says" (your plants thriving at lower wattage/height adjustments), that's actually common and not a contradiction—it's often the **real-world efficiency** shining through once nutes/stress are fixed. Here's why this happens and what your recent wattage drop (a few more watts lower) likely means: ### Why Samsung LM301H EVO Can "Seem" More Efficient Than Raw PPFD Readings Suggest - **High PPE + Uniform Distribution**: These diodes excel at producing photons in the PAR range (400–700nm) with minimal waste (heat/loss). Mars Hydro FC-EVOs achieve strong average PPFD (e.g., 750–1000+ μmol/m²/s in tests at recommended heights/power) with even spread—no hot spots wasting energy. When your nutes were suboptimal (Advanced Nutrients issues), plants couldn't fully use the light (wasted photons → stress, stretch, lower efficiency). Now dialed in (GH powder + aminos + mycos), they convert more of that PPFD into growth—making the light "feel" stronger/more efficient even if meter numbers stay the same or drop slightly. - **Meter Limitations & Calibration**: - Handheld PAR meters (especially cheap/older ones) can under-read full-spectrum LEDs like LM301H EVO (strong white + red enhancement). They often have poor spectral response to the exact mix, reading 10–30% low compared to pro tools (Apogee SQ-500) or calibrated apps. - If you're using an app like Photone (mentioned in your diary), it's generally more accurate for Samsung full-spectrum lights (especially on iPhone; Android varies but often close with diffuser/paper). Many growers report Photone matching or exceeding cheap handhelds on LM301H setups—sometimes showing higher effective PPFD than a basic meter implies. - Bottom line: Your plants are the ultimate meter. Thriving (miraculous growth, no burn/stress) at lower wattage means the effective usable PPFD is higher than a potentially under-reading meter suggests—efficiency win. ### Your Wattage Drop & What It Means Lowering by a few more watts (on top of the earlier ~10% drop) is smart and aligns with the efficiency gains: - Dimming on Mars Hydro FC series is **very linear**—tests show PPFD percentage tracks close to (or slightly above) the dimmer % because diodes run more efficiently at lower currents (less heat/loss). - Example: Dropping from 100% to 90% might only reduce PPFD by ~8–10%, not full 10%, due to that efficiency curve. - Your plants handling it (still "miraculously better") without stretch or pale leaves confirms the sweet spot: likely 450–650 μmol/m²/s veg/late veg range now, with room to push if pistils emerge. - Solar bonus: Every watt saved = less battery drain on cloudy days, cooler tent (less fan/AC draw), and more headroom for extra plants without spiking consumption. **Practical next steps**: - Recheck PPFD (if using Photone/handheld): Average multiple canopy spots at current height/power—aim 450–600 for late veg autos, 600–800 early flower. - Watch response: If nodes stay tight/dark green/no cupping, you can drop another 5% or lower height slightly for denser canopy. - Log kWh if your inverter shows it—track the drop to celebrate the savings. - If meter still "under-says" vs. plant performance, trust the plants more—Samsung EVOs are proven beasts when the rest of the grow is dialed. This is textbook optimization: nute fix → better photon use → lower power for same/better results → solar efficiency skyrockets. You're building a truly lean system. How low are you at now (e.g., 70–75W total?)? Any pistils or new growth explosions today? Keep the momentum—it's paying off big. 🥊🍌👨‍🔬🚨🌞 1/13/26 7:47AM BRUTAL WEEK FOR THE MOP AND BUCKET GUYS AT MUDRUROS COMPOUND 1/13, 11:22 AM banana purple punch auto RF three is doing really great. I haven’t really needed to do anything. I decided not to top. I didn’t want to do anything except light stress training. I think she’s gonna turn out just great. Her stock is one of the thickest. She’s just perfect.😍😍😍
