Very good week, got some low stress training going on, some netting a little bit of defoliation happen this week.

Week 3, check Had to battle fungusgnats again:( thought i had em all. So did a h202 3% 33/66 mix with water and flushed again-_- I also added a 1000 predatory Mites in the ballpark and nematodes. I also picked 2 new toys up microscope videorecorder 50/500x and a IR temp reader. Chasing the perfect VPD Rock on Growmies

420Fastbuds FBT2304/Week12 These beautiful girls are getting close to being finished, and really, I can not wait. The fade on the bigger one is a little more heavier than the other but over all health seems to be great. They are super super sweet smelling which is intoxicating when you get a wiff. Checking the trichs and still seeing a few clear on the taller one so will hold off a couple days before looking again and chopping. All in all Happy Growing

Irie, growmz! Runtz is enjoying the sunshine today! she was on my windowsill almost the whole week, now and then she could go outside when it was warm enough.. She only gets 15H of daylight but she is the only one who is not showing stress becouse of that.. leaves are nice and flat, colour is beautiful green.. so all is good! she hasnt even streched much (yet) I put her on my windowsill tonight again, so she will not have to feel the cold night air .. F1 strains are really something else👌 im excited to see how she is gonna bloom🙏 think im gonna top her soon. happy growing for all✊

Lots of shoots spreaded in the 1.2 X 1.2 m room.

*english version below* HydroLab Germany – Woche 5: Transfer-Protokoll & Nährstoff-Experiment Willkommen zurück im Labor – hier, wo die Blasen nie aufhören und die Wurzeln das wahre Forschungsobjekt sind. 🌿⚗️ 🔬 Statusbericht Die Probandinnen sind offiziell umgezogen – hinein ins große RDWC-Hauptsystem. Dort warten jetzt 30-Liter-Hydroboxen und das leuchtend orange Scrog-Netz, bereit für die finale Wachstumsphase. Nach wochenlangem Formen, Toppen und horizontalem Zwangstraining steht jetzt ein gleichmäßig breiter, dichter Teppich aus Trieben – perfekt, um das Netz Stück für Stück zu füllen. ⚙️ Neues Experiment: Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect im Test Mit dem Umzug startet auch ein neuer Versuch: Das Nährstoffsystem wurde auf Advanced Nutrients Grow, Bloom & Micro umgestellt – plus B52 als biochemischen Stimmungsaufheller. Aktuell laufen 150 ml pro Komponente im Gesamtsystem, was einen vorsichtigen EC von 1,1 mS/cm ergibt. Der Plan: Erstmal beobachten, wie die Damen auf das neue Futter reagieren, bevor nachdosiert wird. Wenn das pH Perfect-System hält, was es verspricht, könnte das die Pflege im RDWC deutlich entspannen – konstantes pH-Level wäre ein echter Gamechanger. 🌱 Beobachtungen Die Pflanzen wachsen weiterhin flach und breit, genau nach Laborvorgabe. Der blaue Adlite-Zusatz zeigt Wirkung – internodale Abstände sind kürzer, der Wuchs kompakter. Die Wurzeln? Ein Traum in Weiß, vital und kräftig verzweigt. Und für die Skeptiker gibt’s noch ein Foto aus dem Archiv: Der letzte 30-Liter-Eurobox-Wurzelblock. Viele hielten die Kisten für überdimensioniert – bis sie sahen, dass das Volumen komplett durchwurzelt war. 💦 Forschung lacht zuletzt. Nächste Schritte Triebe weiter gleichmäßig ins Netz flechten, bis ca. 75 % der Fläche bedeckt sind. EC behutsam zwischen 1,1 – 1,2 stabil halten. In Kürze: Lollipopping & Defoliation – das große Entlaubungsprotokoll. 💡 Labornotiz Gute Forschung braucht kein Schulterklopfen – nur klare Daten, sauberes Wasser und ein stabiles Wurzelmilieu. HydroLab arbeitet nicht für Likes. HydroLab arbeitet für Erkenntnis. ------------------------------------------- HydroLab Germany – Week 5: Transfer Protocol & Nutrient Trial Welcome back to the lab — where the bubbles never stop, and the roots are our main research subject. 🌿⚗️ 🔬 Status Report The subjects have officially moved to their new habitat: the main RDWC system, equipped with 30L hydro pods and a bright orange Scrog grid ready for containment. After weeks of shaping, stretching, and topping, the plants have developed a wide, even canopy that’s perfect for the Scrog transition. ⚙️ New Experiment: Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect Trial The nutrient formula has been switched to the Advanced Nutrients trio (Grow, Bloom, Micro) — assisted by B52 as a metabolic booster. Each 30L pod received 150ml of each, which resulted in a conservative EC of 1.1 to start with. We’ll monitor pH stability and uptake closely over the next few days. If the pH Perfect tech performs as advertised, it could mark a turning point for long-term RDWC consistency. 🌱 Observations Plants show strong lateral growth and a balanced response to training. Internodal spacing remains tight, thanks to the addition of the blue Adlites. Root systems continue to impress — long, dense, and pure white. One photo even shows the final root mass from the last run — the infamous “Eurobox root brick.” People laughed at the 30L containers, but seeing how completely they filled proves the design worked exactly as intended. 💦 Next Steps Keep weaving the shoots into the Scrog grid until 70–80% coverage. Maintain EC around 1.1–1.2 while monitoring uptake rate. Prepare for the main defoliation and lollipopping session once the stretch phase begins. 💡 Lab Notes Sometimes, good science means ignoring bad opinions. HydroLab doesn’t build for approval — we build for data, roots, and perfect canopies. 🔖 Tags #HydroLab #RDWC #Scrog #AdvancedNutrients #PHPerfect #B52 #DIYhydro #CannaScience #LegalGrowGermany #GrowTech #LEDgrow #MarsHydro #ACInfinity #Bluelab #RootScience

The end is coming

So here we go - the flowering stage. Made some defoliation and lst to open them for more light penetration.

Hi Growmies, This was her last week of heavy feeding. I have already decreased the nutes for the coming week and will probably start flushing her the week after. So that she should be finished by the end of the contest pretty much. Regardless of her age the rootball has shrunk only a little bit. I have also taken her out of the scrog to enable the canopy to open up further and allow more light penetration for the maturation of the buds. This worked actually very well, as the weight of the buds pull the plant open. Thanks for stepping by and until next week!

Start of week 5 today, everything seems to be going great! The Gelato OG is by far the biggest plant of the bunch so far but they all seem to be taking well to LST, HST , Topping & defoliation! Will be going in the flower tent as soon as the other ladies harvest so they will probably have atleast 2 to 3 more weeks of veg!

Day36, 37, 38: Seems to be growing a set of leaves per day now. Super growth! Stretching to the top. Day39: I had a hiccup with the camera. For some reason it stopped responding at 04:30 in the morning. I only realized it much later. I still don't really know why, but reseating the data ribbon fixed the issue. Day40: After fixing the camera, I decided to take this view again. The Lady is starting to show some nice growth and this view will show it best. If you look carefully, you'll see that her branches are not green, but rather reddish. Definitely related to genetics :) Everything else is within limits. Plus, the leaves look super healthy. Day41: Here you can see the stem colour better.

the plant has grown very well and its growth has accelerated

Day 6 - defoliation of tainted leaves and LST training

Looks like this might be the last week for this girl. Was hoping to see more change in tricomes but not sure if worth the wait. Give it a few more days and see what the loop says.

**Encontrarás la traducción a español al final de la descripción** From/Desde: 15/03/19 || To/Hasta: 21/03/19 From day/Desde día: 22 || To day/Hasta día: 28 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 +300% to fix it to 1 minute for instagram. Video 2: 4 days (25~28) TimeLapse, 1 image each 60 secs @ 30 fps, awesome video of how is responding the main Gorilla to the Man Linning, at about minute 2:00 i pruned and trained the other gorilla and the main Money Maker, and at the end of the video i pruned the last Money Maker. Video 17: General video of the 4 plants and it's trainings, i'm sorry for being so repetitive with the music. Video 18: Video focushed on the second Gorilla Photo 10: Top and bottom cuts marked on photo 11 Photo 26: Last main branches toppings Photo 29: The main internodal became very rocky, awesomly robust. -----WEEK SUMMARY----- As you see i'm testing many different things among the plants, the first Gorilla is recieving a heavy training in man-lining, and with the second gorilla im trying to equilibrate all the tops and then i will push them horizontally, also i twisted the main branch a little so there's no node below any other. I love how the man-lining is forming the plant, but i'm really scared as i really don't know what am i doing, i just sin in front of the plant some minutes, and then i cut where i fill, same with the grab points. please don't be too enthusiast with this growing as maybe i will fuck up everything at some point lmao!! 😭 -----WATERING CALENDAR----- 18/03/19 - 400 ml with all "LAST" week nutrients @ 0.95 E.C. PH5.9 (i had some rests from the last watering) - Also i applied a foliar irrigation with the same mix as the last week 20/03/19 - 1.000 ml with all week nutrients @ 0.9 E.C. PH5.9 *****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: 4 días (25~28) TimeLapse, 1 imagen cada 60 segundos @ 30 fps, vídeo increíble en el que se ve com responde la Gorila al Man Lining, en aproximadamente el minuto 2 podo y entreno un poco a la otra Gorila y la principal de las Money Makers, al final del vídeo podaré la última Money Maker. Vídeo 17: Vídeo general de las 4 plantas y sus entrenamientos, siento la repetitividad de la música entre los vídeos. Vídeo 18: Video enfocado a la segunda Gorilla Photo 10: Los cortes nombrados (Top&Bottom) de la foto 11 Photo 26: Los toppings de las ramas principales. Photo 29: El internodo que he dejado como principal se ha puesto duro como una piedra, extremadamente robusto. -----SUMARIO SEMANAL----- Como se puede observar estoy probando diferentes cosas enter las 4 plantas, la primera de las gorilas está recibiendo un man-lining y entrenamiento bastante heavy, y con la segunda Gorila intentaré equilibrar las partes altas y después la extenderé horizontalmente, también he torcido el tallo principal para que los pisos se distribuyan en círculo. Me encanta como el man-lining está distribuyendo la planta, pero estoy muy asustado pues realmente no se lo que estoy haciendo, simplemente me siento delante de las plantas un rato y después las meto cortes donde siento, de la mima manera las estoy agarrando. Por favor no seáis muy entusiastas con este cultivo, pues en cualquier momento puedo liarla y destrozarlo todo Jajajajajajajaj 😭 -----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO---- 18/03/19 - 400 ml contodos los nutrientes de la "ÚLTIMA" semana @ 0.95 E.C. PH5.9 (me quedaba un resto del útlimo riego) - También he hecho un riego foliar con un resto del ultimo riego foliar 20/03/19 - 1.000 ml con todos los nutrientes de la semana @ 0.9 E.C. PH5.9

Plants continued to mature this week and all the buds are getting fat they will have there last nutrient feed this week in prep for flushing and harvest next week. The Lemon Zkittles looks and smells amazing looks amazing. Nearly all the plants look and smell the small, good genetics and breading. The Cxx is again a very stable genetics and flowered and smells exactly as the last grow did. Good genetics. The Peyote Cookies and Shishkaberry also grew well and similar, good genetics. Afghan Kush amazing buds and very earthy smell.classic The gorilla cookies had a rather large variation in pheno types but all look amazing and each will be a pleasure to smoke.
