D68 (28/01/2021): First official day of week 6 in bloom and first official day (second in reality) of pre harvest flush. The smell is strong when I open the tent! It does not take long for the whole room to smell dank and even outside the room. - temp: 24-25C light ON ; 20-22C light OFF - no water - RH: 49-52% light ON ; 49-50% light OFF D69 (29/01/2021): I did a first proper flush today by running approximately 2.5 gallons of water trough the medium. There is still a lot of nutrients in the medium. I might do the exact same flush tomorrow. The PH of the run off is high (around PH7-7.1). This is an other reason to flush again tomorrow. I also reduced the light ON schedule by two hours. So now 18h hours ON and 6 hours OFF. I will continue reducing the ON period until they are ready for a complete dark period. I also try to reduce the air temperature. - temp: 24-25C light ON ; 19-20C light OFF - water: PH6.4, 135PPM, 2.5 gallons each - run off: PH7 and 680PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH7.1 and 560PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 47% light ON ; 48-53% light OFF D70 (30/01/2021): I did a second flush since I was not satisfied with run off PPM of yesterday. Today, the run off PPM is under 300 which is what I wanted. The run off PH is still high with 7.1. Banana Kush is ripening with the pistils slowly turning brown. Glue Gelato look sooooo yummy and I can't wait to harvest it. There is a small color change in some leaves but I'm expecting more in the next days. - temp: 23-24C light ON ; 19C light OFF - water: PH6.4, 125PPM, 2.5 gallons each - run off: PH7.1 and 260PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH7.1 and 250PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 46% light ON ; 46-48% light OFF D71 (31/01/2021): Glue Gelato is changing color. I'm checking trichomes everyday on both girls and no amber yet. - temp: 23-24C light ON ; 19C light OFF - no water - RH: 45% light ON ; 49-50% light OFF D72 (01/02/2021): Well well well...the clock is ticking for those girls. Glue Gelato is now having a couple of amber trichomes. Banana Kush don't have any. Overall Banana Kush has less trichomes and fluffier buds. This girls is not ready yet but I will need to chop her down at the same time has the Glue Gelato because my drying space is the tent I'm growing in. I will try to push the Banana Kush to ripen faster by lifting up the lamp at 16 inches from top bud and by reducing of 2 hours the day period for a 16 hours light ON and 8 hours light OFF. But at least all Banana Kush trichomes looks milky. - temp: 23-24C light ON ; 18-19C light OFF - water: PH6.2, 123PPM, less then a gallon each - run off: PH7.4 and 200PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH7.4 and 287PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 45% light ON ; 40-45% light OFF D73 (02/02/2021): I gave water probably for the last time today. Trichomes on Glue Gelato are starting to amber on top buds. Not a lot of amber but you can see that all the trichomes are starting to degrade by curling down slowly. Trichomes on Banana Kush are not amber at all but they all look milky. Glue Gelato is ready to harvest but Banana Kush need more time. It's tough to make a decision to chop or not since they are not at the same stage of growth. I want to place them in a complete 48 hours of darkness before harvest. 1h less light today for a 15h light ON and 9h light OFF. The lamps are now at 20 inches. - temp: 23-24C light ON ; 18-19C light OFF - water: less then a gallon each - RH: 45% light ON ; 40-45% light OFF D74 (03/02/2021): Glue Gelato is ready for 48h of darkness. I will take her out of the tent and place her in an other room without light. I will try to maintain a proper environment in this room and if it smells to strong or if the condition are not good I will replace her in the tent and both will start the 48h darkness. The idea is to give Banana Kush 2 more days to ripe and swoll more. After 48h, I will chop Glue Gelato and place her in the tent to start drying. Banana Kush will then start her 48h darkness. I don't know if this strategy is good but I will monitor everything closely and react if something is wrong. - temp: 22-23C light ON ; 19C light OFF - no water - RH: 47% light ON ; 43-45% light OFF

~ WEDDING CHEESECAKE FAST FLOWER by FastBuds ~ Well fam, here we go again with another epic strain from FastBuds Fast Flowering stable. After having such tremendous success growing their Gorilla Cookies Fast Flower outdoors last year, I've decided to run another of their fast flowering strains outdoors this year... Wedding Cheesecake Fast Flower! The best description of this awesome cultivar comes directly from my friends at FastBuds which is as follows: "A delight for the mind and body: Wedding Cheesecake FF (Fast-Flowering) is a delicious strain that offers XXL yields in a 7-8 weeks flowering cycle. This terpene powerhouse produces loads and loads of mouth-watering vanilla-creamy-cookie-scented terps with hints of citrus and cinnamon. In addition to its delicious aromas, this variety grows very well in both indoor and outdoor setups, yielding up to 650 g/m2 without extra maintenance, making it the ideal strain for beginners as it allows you to maximize yields while minimizing work. This super-fast feminized photoperiod version offers upbeat and energetic yet deeply relaxing effects that are perfect for consumers looking for a heavily focused, motivating, and creative high. It’s the ideal strain for those needing that extra energy boost to start a busy day on the right foot. Wedding Cheesecake FF boasts chunky, large-sized buds with a thick layer of silvery-white resin and bright orange hairs scattered all over: that just screams ‘quality’. The lime-green flowers sparkle with an array of hues ranging from dark to light green, to magenta and purple, and reek of a delicious aroma that’ll remind you of fresh store-bought cheesecake. This is an XXL hybrid that grows extremely tall in height, reaching up to 3m with one huge main cola and multiple long side branches that can withstand enormous yields of up to 650 g/m2 with ease. Wedding Cheesecake FF is extremely resilient to the elements and can be grown in almost every climate as long as you’ve got the space and basics covered, making her an excellent choice for those looking for large-scale harvests with a quick turnaround time without much effort." ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Setup: This is going to be an outdoor grow, but I have started the Wedding Cheesecake FF indoors as our weather is still too cold to put her outside (nighttime temp's dipping regularly into the 30's℉). The plan is simple... let her grow inside under a 19/5 light schedule until the nighttime temperatures stay above the mid 40's℉, at which point she'll be moved outside and transplanted into the soil which I have already setup and inoculated with beneficial microbes, and then let the fun begin!🤪💚 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 8/21- Here we go into Week 3 of flower for the FastBuds Wedding Cheesecake Fast Flower! This strain has become a beast and, now that she's flowering, she is going to be looking exceptionally sexy😍 over the course of the next few weeks so hold on, it's gonna be a wild ride fam! 8/23- Our weather has finally cooled down and the daylight has dropped to just over 13 hours now. My daily watering campaign also continues with me giving the Wedding Cheesecake Fast Flower 5-8 gallons of well water from the garden hose. 8/25- Along with my daily watering, I am also constantly going through the plant and removing any dead or yellowed leaves. I'm also checking over the entire plant including the undersides of leaves looking for early signs of insect infestation or their eggs being laid, as well as looking for signs of deficiencies and as flowering progresses mold and fungus.🤢 8/27- With three weeks of flower over and done with, in the next 3-4 weeks we should see this lady really trans form as she adds weight onto her colas. My biggest concern is that she has relatively thin branches and, depending on how heavy her cola's become, they will more than likely need to be supported in some way to which I'm developing a solution. Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

Week 7 Flower We've finally started flush 💦 on Day 43. I still run EM1 at 1ml/ltr as it goes a long way once activated/stretched. It's always going to be a benefit to keep any microbes you can in the coco. You can also use Mammoth P throughout flush, but due to its price I just stick to EM1 in flush. There's plenty of other microbes that can be used too. I flush around twice the pots' volume at 6pH. But before flooding the pot I slowly pour water through the centre of the pot, around the stem, in order to take a true reading of the ppm and pH of the run off. If the ppm/ec reads a lot higher than your average feeding throughout bloom, then there's been issues such as a lockout, incorrect pH, over feeding etc. This wasn't the case, as this girls' was at the right level. If the pH is too high or low, I adjust the pH of the rest of the water that'll be flushed to try to fix it. Again, this wasn't the case with this girl as she had a perfect pH 👌👍 Just before all of the water has gone through the pot, I take one last reading from her last bit of run off. The ppm should be down to no more than 100ppm for the first flush (+starting ppm of water if using tap water). After the first flush the ppm value of the run off will quickly go all the way down to 0, or at least below 50ppm (+tap water ppm). I use tap water that is between 150-190ppm, but I'm looking to switch to RO as soon as I can. I still get a very good flush, but I think using RO water will be the next step in getting a more thorough flush as it won't contain even the small amount of nutrients and metals that tap water contains (along with any harmful chemicals). Always remember to bubble or let the water sit for 24-48hrs before feeding to your plants. That goes for all feedings in every stage of growth if using tap water. Because I keep fairly low temps in the Den she's starting to turn a beautiful dark purple. Her buds are still swelling and smelling like a nice gassy OG, with hints of citrus/tropical fruits. I'm really looking forward to taking this girl down, but after at least another week! Thanks for following and happy growing! 🐺

Description With up to 27% THC, Strawberry Banana Auto is one of the most THC-rich strains to hit the market lately, this colossal autoflower grows up to 150cm and produces massive yields of up to 600gr/m2. An excellent strain for those looking for potent autoflowers that deliver both in quality and quantity. Expect an extremely sweet and fruity terpene profile with an obvious Strawberry and Banana aroma that comes hand-in-hand with a strong body high mixed with a cerebral high that boosts creativity; a strain that will surprise you with powerful yet well-balanced Indica and Sativa effects. Bud description The buds grow thick and slightly elongated with a light-green color and thin bright yellowish-orange hairs and dark-green leaves coming out of them; Expect super swollen calyxes that give the buds a distinct spiky look. Thanks to the outrageous trichome production the buds end up looking like it’s been snowing in the grow tent for days, and upon harvest they’ll reek of a delicious mix of freshly harvested strawberries with a background of ripe bananas, making it a marvelous choice for extractors and hash makers who need a trichome powerhouse to take their products to the next level.Smoke report Due to the high THC level, this strain offers a strong hybrid effect; Upon smoking, you will feel a mild head buzz that gradually turns into a strong euphoric and uplifted cerebral high that leaves you focused and alert. The Sativa effect comes along with a warming corporal buzz that slowly sedates your whole body and can leave you couch-locked with strong munchies if smoked in excess. This strain is seriously recommended for those with a high tolerance and medicinal patients looking for an alternative to alleviate chronic pain, appetite loss, or severe anxiety.Plant appearance This strain grows vigorously and will clearly show its mixed heritage; The main cola grows tall, reaching up to 150cm followed by several side branches that stay short when compared to the main cola, but still grow quite long and develop multiple flowering sites that get completely covered in greasy buds from top to bottom. This variety remains compact and, despite its height, will maintain that typical Indica structure until harvest, where it will end up looking like a beautiful and atypically huge Indica. Grow tips Make sure you have enough vertical space in your grow tent, this strain can grow up to 150cm so it’s recommended your tent is at least 200cm tall to avoid having problems in the last weeks of your grow cycle. Once the buds start fattening up they will get quite heavy so pay close attention to the branches and if you feel like they won’t be able to withstand the weight, use plant yo-yo’s or bamboo stakes to provide support and prevent them from snapping. The strong strawberry banana terps are clearly apparent but remember to flush thoroughly to enhance the potent fruity terps even more.Flavor This variety offers an unforgettable taste of sweet tropical strawberries with a faint bubblegum background on the inhale and a more apparent ripe banana with a strong earthy background on the exhale. The perfect potency and terpene profile for hash makers and extractors looking for the most powerful strains with the strongest terpene profiles.

**Encontrarás la traducción a español al final de la descripción** From/Desde: 22/03/19 || To/Hasta: 28/03/19 From day/Desde día: 29 || To day/Hasta día: 35 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 +400% to fix it to 1 minute for instagram. Video 2: 7 days (29~35) TimeLapse, 1 image each 60 secs @ 30 fps Video 9: An overview video not as awesome as it's music 😂💪 Video 10: Myself working on the babies, lowering tops, topping & training. Video 12: Full working on the secondary Gorilla, twisting some branches, topping & training. -----WEEK SUMMARY----- Well, now i'm getting a bit scared as i adventured myself into Photoperiod, high training, full topping... in indoors at once. I feel that plants are going good, but i really don't know what am i doing, and if i'm doing well. Also i don't know how much time should i give them of vegetation stage, because i don't want to eternalize myself with this tent, so i'm planning to leave this upcoming 6th week and maybe the 7th of vegetation, but no more. Anyway they look pretty atm 😻. In video 10 the main-linning Gorilla suffered an accident as i grabbed the main left branch from a weak point and it has broken (sec 39 aprox.) so it has one less node than the right branch. -----WATERING CALENDAR----- 24/03/19 - 1.000 ml with all week nutrients @ 0.9 E.C. PH5.8 *****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: 7 días (29~35) TimeLapse, 1 imagen cada 60 segundos @ 30 fps. Vídeo 9: Un vídeo general no tan increíble como la música de fondo 😂💪. Video 10: Trabajando en las pequeñas, rebajando las alturas, haciendo topping y entrenando. Video 12: Trabajando a pleno en la segunda Gorilla, girando algunas ramas, haciendo toppings y entrenándola. -----SUMARIO SEMANAL----- Bueno, ahora estoy empezando a estar asustado. Me he aventurado a probar con fotodependientes, entrenamiento fuerte y super topping, todo a la vez. Siento que las plantas van bien, pero realmente no se lo que estoy haciendo ni si lo estoy haciendo bien. También tengo dudas sobre cuanto tiempo más dejarlas en estado vegetativo ya que no me quiero eternizar con este armario, por lo que estoy planeando dejar esta sexta semana de crecimiento y quizás una séptima, pero no más. Aun así y con todo, las nenas se ven preciosas 😻. En el vídeo 10 sufro un accidente en la Gorila con main-linning ya que amarré el final del tallo principal izquierdo por un punto débil y este se partió (sec 39 aprox.), por lo que tiene un piso de topping de más en comparación con tallo derecho. -----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO----- 24/03/19 - 1.000 ml con todos los nutrientes semanales @ 0.9 E.C. PH5.8

Week Two: The seedlings received their first and second feedings of Innovating Plant Products. Along with one just a plain watering. (Feed / Feed / Water). The first feeding was on 5/21 of 900 ppm of the veg nutrient line. The pH was 6.3 The second feeding was on 5/24 of 700 ppm of the veg nutrient line. The was 6.4 After assessing the first feeding it was felt the PPM was a bit high for their first feeding. We could have easily done this in reverse order. On 5/26 the plants were given just plain water to finish out their week. One of the seedlings appeared to be a bit deformed and has since been tossed. This one seed didn't germinate well, but we thought we would give it go. Assessing the seedling we simply opted to pull it.

Temp & Humidity still controlled by my Mycodo System. VPD range still set to 0.4 - 0.8 for now. 08.04. Week 2 of Veg begins and the plants really start to grow like crazy. Especially the Strawberry Lemonade and Fullgas seem to be bigger every day! I had a little PH issue on the last watering, but it should not be too worrysome. 10.04. I‘ve noticed some yellow tint starting to form on the newer leaves of the Strawberry Lemonade. For now I will stay on the lookout, but I hope it‘s nothing too dramatic. I also switched the VPD to be around 0.8 - 1.2 which it doesn‘t completely hit for the moment as i do not have a dehumidification option but the additional humidification was stopped. 13.04. Week 2 is nearing it‘s end and things are going great. The discoloration has vanished and the plants are growing steadily. VPD at around 0.7 kPa.

Questa settimana ho montato la lampada hps e l'ho spostata nella zona in cui le piante mi sembrano più pronte, i fiori stanno ingrossando sempre di più e dai filamenti arancioni sembrerebbe che stiano maturando, guardando con il microscopio i terpeni sono ancora trasparenti. Aggiornamento 27 novembre, ho controllato i terpeni della black cream al microscopio e sembrano quasi pronti prossima settimana tolgo qualche cima delle 2 black cream che sono quasi pronte e lasciando i rami più bassi per che risultano ancora meno pronti rispetto ad alcuni. Aggiornamento 28 Novembre : Le piante continuano a crescere costantemente le black cream sembrano sempre più pronte per il raccolto. Aggiornamento 30 Novembre : Oggi ho deciso di raccogliere alcune cime di 2 black cream che erano belle pronte.

So this week last week I did 2 waterings of banana peels and then once with Fish Sh!t for more nutrient uptake to fix that calcium issue. I’ve been on top of PH and incorporated gypsum solution to my waterings but they don’t seem to want to uptake the nutes. It seems to be affecting my flower production so I might take an L on my thinner plant but the purple one is doing pretty good ✅ hopefully there isn’t more problems, if you have solutions, please I’m all ears!!
