Week4 D1 So starting this week plants still look strong but rainbow belts is drooping like she is thirsty but her pot is heavy so I am monitoring to see if she is just being dramatic or if she is getting a slight salt build up. Will water in 2 days and check the ph of run off. I am thinking it is slightly acidic. I also see slight tip burn on a couple leaves but they were just fed and it wasn't hot so I am leaning towards the acidic water. Week4 D4 All girls got 1.5G of dechlorinated tap water at 6.7 ph and thats it. Got nats so I've been using yellow sticky tape. They are stacking heavy so end of week 5 I plan on feeding them a final dose. You can see the light tilted to accommodate the different heights. Week4 D3 I said I would water today but I am going to let them go one more day before making a decision. Rainbow Belts roots may need to breathe a bit so before I make a rash decision I will monitor. Otherwise plants are stacking well and are getting hairy and frosty. Sugar leaves are getting more abundant. Week4 D4 Each girl got 1.5G 6.7 ph water dechlorinated and rotated and thats it. They all are growing well hoping we are on track for another feeding at the end of week5. Next watering will be compost tea to revitalize microbes. Week4 D5 The next day after the 6.7ph feeding they responded well so I think my guess of low soil ph for rainbow belts was correct as well as her drying out sooner. In 5 days or so I will water with compost tea. Everything is looking strong- smell is low but my average temp is about 73degrees. I am keeping vpd between 1.3-1.4 and will hold for a few weeks before bumping up to 1.5. Debating if I want to use UV B light- anyone with any experience let me know. Later growers!

11/9: The first Blackberry (Halle Berry) is dry now and beginning to cure....will probably sample it tomorrow.😋 The next 5 that I harvested are drying in a dark room at 75f with 60% RH and minimal airflow.👍 The colas of the remaining 11 plants are now within 9 inches of the QB's....MAXIMUM PAR! I've increased UVB exposure by an additional hour a day. I've got the portable AC on high and blowing across their tops, which is keeping the temp just below 80f on them...they should be just fine..👌 11/13: I harvested the purple Wedding Cheesecake and all three Lemon Pies today. 11/15: I flushed the last two orange sherbets for the second time, but with only a few gallons each...I flushed the last two wedding cheesecakes, and the 3 x gorilla cookies with 8 gallons each.

love this strain. It survived 2 weeks of cold and rain late flower without any mildew or mold. all my other strains got PM that week. I expected the yield to be a little bigger but can't complain. amazing, smooth high.

The signs of light bleaching (=snow white tops) are increasing during week 7. (see in video) The light is so strong that the top of the buds start to grow white instead of green....looks almost like a snow-cap. 😄 All 18 CANNALOPE HAZE plants from DNA-GENETICS are devloping GREAT...they produce more and more flowers EVERY day. The trichome production is now in full swing as well, the plants get stickier every day. The 9 plants on the left under the LUMATEK PRO 600W are a little bit lighter in color and less uniform than the 9 plants on the right side under the two Q6W-Gen. 2 LED-lamps from SANlight. The plants on the right have a darker , more healthier color and are VERY UNIFORM, all have almost the EXACT SAME SIZE. The aroma inside the HOMEBOX-tent gets stronger now as well...I love the 'hazy' smell of the plants...very enticing! 😍 This week I add some Orgatrex (40 ml/liter) and Bacterex (2 gram/liter) to my watering, since BIOTABS recommend to do that in their feeding schedule.

Gran genética cultivada de manera totalmente orgánica. Sin grandes necesidades ni complicaciones en el cultivo, pero a tener en cuenta la poca tolerancia al exceso de nutrientes. Buen desarrollo en crecimiento, gran ramificación con distancia internodal media. Impresionante el cambio a color morado fuerte en las últimas semana de floración y gran cantidad de tricomas en las flores. Fuerte aroma afutado y sabor dulce, con una buena pegada. Totalmente recomendable.

As of day 14, I am happy (although a little worried) about how the grow is going. Growth continues to be somewhat strong and new growth seems to be healthy, but the issue that affected the lower leaves has left me a little spooked. It has continued to the second set of leaves to a limited degree. I have mostly eradicated the fungus gnats who moved in from some houseplants so that is a plus. Poor transplanting technique could have also damaged the roots, as the issues became most apparent after potting up to 1 gallon containers. Although I have been very careful to PH my nutrients after mixing, I realize I was not PHing at every fertigation and may have missed some early swings upwards in my watering reservoir so I am now being more diligent making sure the PH is consistently under 6.2. I am hoping that these actions will have fixed whatever issue was occurring, but if there is anything I may have missed please let me know! I have a expanded the timelapse to contain all the growth up to day 14, and will continue to re-edit it for every week. Thanks for reading, and happy growing! Day 16: began LST to expose/encourage the new branches. There has been plenty of healthy new growth, so I suspect that the leaf issues were due to temporary PH fluctuations in my watering reservoir that went undetected. Thank you to those who answered my grow question! 👍 Day 17: FIMed the Blue Dream'matic, which has been growing strongly. I went a little more aggressive because in the past I have messed the technique up by getting mostly leaf instead of the new node of growth. Hopefully it goes well this time! Day 18: more LST will wait as my smaller plant Staples do not have enough hold, when I transplant to 5g pots I will continue. Day 20: a few lower leaves continue to show the browning. I will transplant at day 21 which will give me a chance to check the roots, and I will be adding h202 to my watering bucket to prevent pH swings due to bacteria (which I believe has caused the issue). The plant is still growing vigorously and is branching well post FIM.

**Encontrarás la traducción a español al final de la descripción** From/Desde: 24/05/19 || To/Hasta: 30/05/19 From day/Desde día: 92 || To day/Hasta día: 98 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----- This week i tried to capture my favorite top tail buds present in both Gorillas, i hope you like them! -----WEEK SUMMARY----- Finally the last week of these babies, the next page will be the harvest :) 👊. The buds start to weigh too much for the thickness of their branches, no matter how many rhino skin I have used the branches have not fattened almost anything and begin to suffer with the weight of their buds, along the cleaning week I will have to tie them to the SCROG mesh to prevent them to fall horizontally. The aroma, color, shine and movement of the tails is wonderful, if I had not messed up with the defoliation and the growing time, those Gorilla Tails would be 10! ----WATERING CALENDAR----- 26/05/19 - 1,5 l with All week nutrients -(Flawless Finish) @ PH6.4 & 0.9 E.C. 29/05/19 - 1,5 l with Flawless Finish @ PH6.4 & 1 E.C. *****ESPAÑOL***** -----IMÁGENES & VÍDEOS----- Esta semana intento brindaros una imagen de mis cogollos superiores favoritos de las 2 gorillas, espero que os gusten!!. -----WEEK SUMMARY----- Por fin la última semana de estas pequeñas, la siguiente página ya será la de harvest :) 👊. Los cogollos empiezan a pesar mucho para el grosor de sus ramas, por mucho rhino skin que he usado las ramas no han engordado casi nada y empiezan a sufrir con el peso de sus cogollos, durante la semana de limpieza voy a tener que ir atándolas a la malla de SCROG para que no caigan horizontales. El aroma, color, brillo y movimiento de las colas es maravilloso, si no hubiera metido la pata con la defoliación y el tiempo de crecimiento serían unas colas de 10! Qué ganas tengo de que pase la semana de limpieza y hacer la colecta, estoy que no cago!!!!!!! jajajajajjajajajjaja. ----WATERING CALENDAR----- 26/05/19 - 1,5 l con todos los nutrientes semanales -(Flawless Finish) @ PH6.4 & 0.9 E.C. 29/05/19 - 1,5 l con Flawless Finish @ PH6.4 & 1 E.C.

Been curing for about a week. Some good flavors coming off the jars. Going to give it til Christmas to cure to do the true judging and then I’ll update. Results definitely has me excited about growing, and I think I’m stuck. I have learned a lot from this harvest. Think I will go for bigger pots for the next run and only have 3 plants. Thanks for following along!

She got a nice fade going. Been feeding just ph’d water this week. Idk if she’s slowed down drinking or if my soil is a little water logged but the pots definitely staying heavier throughout the week. Dropped my light closer to the canopy but lowered the I reality slightly cause temps were creeping into the 80’s. I think we’re cruisin. Can’t wait to see how she turns out.

Mid week update. My cannatrol came in yesterday. I also started a free Gelato 41 seed from NASC on Aug 9th. Unfortunately, not knowing the power of my heating mat, I cooked it. So, onto the free Strawberry Gorilla Autos seed from fastbuds on Aug 12th. Insane growth already. All this being said, this plant is no longer on its own timeline. Trichomes are indicating a possible 2 additional weeks wouldn't hurt, but also, it's in a fair harvesting window. So, as an experiment, I did some high stress training. A very heavy strip. Lower bud sites and very congested areas will get these final few days of light. The plant might show some serious stress either positively or negatively to this method. All the sugar leaves I had removed, (which otherwise would've been compost or trash) and a bud and 2 or 3 small ones, were thrown into the cannnatrol. 4 days of drying and 4 days of curing. Truly, the Strawberry Gorilla is in control of this grow now. If, in 4 days I need the space, the plant will come down. If not, I will let my new toy finish it's cycle and chop the day its done. 8 days from now. Already foxtailing, shall we see if she try to throw nanners and herm? Or will she respond in a manner were in her final days she puts her energy into weight and trichome production? Time will tell...

Another week down. The timer is fully switched back to 12/12. It took a week to get there but the ladies don’t seem to mind. The gruntz is still queen of the show, or the biggest. She seems to want to take over the whole tent. Amazing how big she is getting. The Bruce is a close second. Only a few inches shorter. The widows are there and are nice but they aren’t reaching for the stars like the gruntz. They are all beautiful, what can we say, we love all our ladies. There isn’t any smell off them yet, you can get a whiff rubbing the stalk, but not strong yet. We did a defoliation this week, but I don’t think it shows. We also took a few more clones off the bottom branches. The first try of the gruntz didn’t do so well. Try ,try again. Otherwise it’s been a good week. The Dutchess and I thank you for stopping by, if you see anything we can do better let us know. Otherwise spread some love and share some bud!

Tangerine dream auto from Weed Seed Express grew really well. I had some ph issues in flowering with trying to keep up with her diet. Is a great smelling flower. Should have a strong couch lock effect. I grew it a about a week longer then I should. I am totally OK with that as well. Thank you Viparspectra, and Weed Seed Express. 🌱🤜🤛🌱 There is a harvest video on my YouTube channel as well from a in hand perspective. Thank you grow diaries community for the likes, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel. Happy growing everyone 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g
