2nd time doing Brix levels...some ladies went from a Brix of 4 to a Brix of 10 while 2 only went from a Brix of 4 to 6. I am pleased with their progress upwards. Dam just learned you should take leaves for testing 2 hours after lights on....I took leaves from dark period 😣. Will update with new Brix numbers taken with lights on. Chopping is coming very soon. I will tag the Brix of each plant when I hang to dry so I'm able to keep track of how the higher Brix relates to taste, smell and potency😎 😁The ladies noticeably got fatter over night!(Nov 11th). Man they really enjoyed that last watering, hope this continues into next week. Just read to take your Brix leaves in a "Z" or "W" pattern as older leaves will contain higher carbs. The refracted light tells us the amount of carbs in the "juice or sap" and minerals too like calcium, proteins and fats (lipids). High Brix enables weed to produce secondary metabolites = greater medicinal value. Sucrose/sugar (Carbs) & mineral levels in the fruit or flower translates or relates to taste. A tasteless 3 Brix tomato from the grocery store or a 14 Brix tomato from OMG you grow delicious tomatoes. Death to covalent bonding! (My goal a 20 Brix😀 Won't be happening with this grow but will be the next😁). Read that most people can detect a half point difference in Brix in the flavour. Lots of smell coming from these Gorilla Girls😵 I can only go so far with plant chemistry and then I get a headache and get lost😔

I end up super cropping all the branches because they grow weight too big the good thing is that the plant has recover very well and starting to build up all those flowers. I stopped recording their height at 71 inches but for sure if left alone she will continue to grow even more for now it looks like her flowering stretch has ended. I'm definitely looking forward to see how this girl is going to end up and at the end how much weight it is going to be able tohave. thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow.

What an incredible grow this has been! It's definitely up there with my best and favorite indoor grows I've done on Grow Diaries so far. It had a strong, resilient and beautiful growth from the first week when it fell all the way to harvest. Definitely an easy plant to grow that had an amazing pay off in the end. I think it's safe to say that anyone could grow this strain with mid level supplies and minimal experience and get good results. If I ran more powerful lights and kept a more comfortable environment (humidity etc) I don't see why my yields couldn't get even better with each grow. Even at the 4 ounces of good smokeable buds and 1 and 1/2 of trim and larf I was very satisfied . After drying and curing the plant had a strong smell with hints of flowers and sweet fruit. The taste was subtle fruity and sweet too. Where the Blue Monkey really shines is with making concentrates. I was able to do a few different projects with it. First I did some rosin pressing where the return rate was just barely under a 20%, which is very good. A 4 gram squish giving .8 gram back, that's the best return I've gotten off just bud, no kief or hash pressing. Then I decided to make some rick simpson oil. Ground buds and trim, decarb it, put it into the jars with high proof alcohol 150+, let it sit and shake overnight and then strain into a dark tincture, then use double boiler with no open flames to evaporate all of the alcohol out, and suck up into some syringes. I got 12 ml total...which is equal to 12 grams of RSO. It was awesome, you can smoke it, use it for edibles, a good diverse concentrate. * Don't forget to make your mom a care package, she'll be happy.💚 All in all this was the most productive, and educational grow I've had all year. Not to mention the plant and buds were just gorgeous! Thank you @exoticseed this was an amazing seed you created.

Updated pics, smell getting stronger, for first grow looking like a decent yield without no lst or anything just tied down the leaves so the buds can get the light, only found out about what lst can do for the plant when it was too late so thats the only thing I'll change on my next grow. Thanks for the support. Without u guys I couldn't of done this. If only I could show how much I appreciate the help.

La tercera semana ha ido bien, han estirado menos de lo que quería debido al exceso de agua, aprendido para la próxima. 📅 Dia 22:🔹 Continuo con el Low Stress hasta que dejen de crecer. 📅 Dia 23:🔹Descanso ( no estoy en casa) 📅 Dia 24:🔹Riego según la tabla de nutrientes, EC 1500 , PH 6.3 y un drenaje del 10%. 📅 Dia 25:🔹Las dejo que terminen de estirar tranquilamente. 📅 Dia 26:🔹Descanso 📅 Dia 27:🔹Riego según tabla de nutrientes semana 4. Aplico toda la cantidad de la tabla, ya que con el CO2 comen mucho.

Día 4 de Floracion Como ya os comenté la semana pasada las puse ya a florecer, recuerdo que tengo un armario muy pequeño y muchas plantas. Al ser regulares tengo que estar muy atento para cuando se empicen a mostrar. Seguimos a 150W, el foco es regulable, de momento he conseguido estabilizar la temperatura por lo que seguiré así. Un riego con Alga Bloom, que empiece lo bueno. Saludos

Day 1. Most of the lower fan leaves are now yellowing and the buds are starting to fatten up Approx 2 weeks until harvest Day 3. Plants looking good very strange thing is happening though the plants are all showing signs of nute burn but I am currently flushing lol Day 5. Getting close to harvest now thinking 10 - 14 days Day 7. Fall is very much in the air almost all the fan leaves are dying off. 4 more days of flush followed by 4 days starvation and they are being harvested

The green crack has hit week 5 from germination. About 35 days old. And it already started pre flowering! I wouldve expected it to get bigger during veg but lets see what it gives us! Ive add Topmax and BioBloom by biobizz. The room temperature is around 28 which is abit high but not too bad. If i can get it around 26C it will be perfect.

Muy olorosa genética, me encantó mucho, termino de engordar al 100% los cálices absorbiendo los postilos de las flores y eso para mi es muy importante, muy agradable al fumar con un efecto inmediato apto para el día a mi pensar ya que su efecto se nota mucho pero no es para dejarte tumbado si no que con mucho ánimo en fin muy agradable para conectar tu mente a la música que es algo que me encanta al fumar, en fin muy fácil de cultivar, crece mucho así que procura dar poca vegetación, creo que yo me excedí un poco, y no olvidar alimentar a tiempo ya que beben mucho. Realmente contento con esta experiencia Muchas gracias por pasar y felices cultivos!!
