This cycle was all along a great pleasure. The plants developed MUCH BETTER THAN EXPECTED, the result under the Q6W-Gen. 2 LED lamps from SANlight is FANTASTIC. I have NEVER harvested more from plants of the same strain under HPS and the quality of the bud (trichomes, taste aroma) is MUCH BETTER when grown under LED, my decision is definitely made, I will continue to solemnly grow with LED-lights in the future. I harvested 2250 gram of Shiva Skunk and 3009 gram of Serious Kush, that a total amount of 5259 gram. In relation to the 3000 Watts (incl. dimmed part!) power of the LED-lights thats an AMAZING 1,753 gram per Watt.

Leicht den Überblick verloren. Wurde krank, dann viel Arbeit und keine Zeit gehabt. Die Pflanze hatte zwischendurch mal Probleme, weil ich ihr viel zu viel Wasser gegeben habe und das hat sie locker eine Woche gekostet. Egal, jetzt sieht sie fit aus und geht in die Blüte. Sie hat 1x 100 ml FertiPlus 5-1-5+ bekommen und eine hohe Dosis Pflanzengeflüster, das hat sie wieder auf Kurs gebracht. Trainiert wurde nur durch gezieltes Entlauben einzelner Sonnensegel und mit LST Clips Tag 34: Insgesamt sieht die Pflanze wieder super aus, vielleicht etwas klein fürs Alter. Heute wurde auch stark trainiert.

**Encontrarás la traducción a español al final de la descripción** From/Desde: 05/04/19 || To/Hasta: 11/04/19 From day/Desde día: 43 || To day/Hasta día: 49 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: Complete week 7 in 2 minutes (Original frame rate modified), i used something composed by me playing with Logic Audio, please don't blame me 👉😳👊 Video 2: Complete growing stage plus some flowering days in 2 minutes Photo 3: Additives used at day 5, all but Iguana Video 13: Overview video of the Gorillas and the Moneys Photo 14: Nutrients & additives used on day 9, again all but Iguana -----WEEK SUMMARY----- Finally I decided to Switch to 12/12 the first day of this week, and at the end of the week i will leave the SCROG mall fixed. As you can see it's not a tru SCROG as the man-lining plant is taller than the others and there's also height differences among it's colas. In the other hand i'm very happy on how the plants are distributing themselves after i removed the training structures. I removed those structures to prevent more stress to the plants, as they have recieved a hard training and i want to give them a breath and also grow as they like. You can see how many vegetation they have, it almost cover the 85-90% of the tent, in the middle of flowering week 3 i will perform a massive defoliation. This week i can see how the Gorilla with the main-lining is developing more defined and taller colas than the other plants, let's see how they evolve in some weeks. Also this week i will apply the last foliar irrigation, just to help them a bit. -----WATERING CALENDAR----- 05/04/19 - 1.250 ml with all week nutrients -(Foliars, Bloom Stimulator & Bloom Nutrition) @ 1.1 E.C. PH6.4 - Foliar application of 250 ml of water with (Foliar Nutrition & Plant Vitality+) among the 4 plants 09/04/19 - 1.250 ml with (Sensizym, Bloom Stimulator, Bloom Nutrition & bud Ignitor) @ 1.4 E.C PH6.4 *****ESPAÑOL***** -----IMÁGENES Y VÍDEOS----- Vídeo 1: Semana 7 completa en 2 minutos (Frame rate original modificado), he usado algo que he compuesto jugando con el logic audio, disculpadme por esto 👉😳👊 Vídeo 2: Fase de crecimiento completa y algunos días de floración en 2 minutos Foto 3: Aditivos usados el día 5 excepto Iguana Vídeo 13: Vídeo general de las Gorilas y las Moneys Foto 14: Nutrientes y Aditivos usados el día 9, de nuevo todos menos Iguana -----SUMARIO SEMANAL----- Finalmente he decidido cambiar a 12/12 el primer día de esta semana y al final de la semana dejaré fina la red de SCROG, como veréis no es realmente un SCROG pues la planta con Man-Lining tiene colas más largas que las demás y todas son un poco desiguales entre si. Por otro lado estoy muy contento en como se están distribuyendo las plantas después de haberles quitado las estructuras de entrenamiento, las he quitado para quitarlas stress ya que han tenido un entrenamiento duro y quiero dejarlas respirar e ir por si solas a partir de aquí. También podéis observar como tienen mucha vegetación que casi cubre el 85-90% de la superficie del armario, a mitad de semana 3 de floración les haré una defoliación masiva dejándolas peladas. Esta semana ya puedo observar cómo la Gorilla con man-lining está creando colas más definidas y largas que el resto de las plantas, veremos a ver en unas semanas como evolucionan. Por último esta semana también aplicaré el último riego foliar para ayudarlas un poco con el cambio de estado y el stress recibido. -----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO----- 05/04/19 - 1.250 ml con todos los nutrientes semanales excepto -(Foliars, Bloom Stimulator & Bloom Nutrition) @ 1.1 E.C. PH6.4 - Aplicación foliar de 250 ml de agua con (Foliar Nutrition & Plant Vitality+) para las 4 plantas 09/04/19 - 1.250 ml con (Sensizym, Bloom Stimulator, Bloom Nutrition & bud Ignitor) @ 1.4 E.C PH6.4

Grow Diaries: Week 9 Veg - Mentha de Croco Mutants Hello, Grow Diaries fam! 🌱✨ Week 9 is here, and while our mutants are small, they’re undoubtedly mighty in beauty and character! Each plant continues to showcase its uniqueness, with details in the leaves that are nothing short of art. As always, patience is the key, and these beauties are teaching me that every step of this journey is worth it. The Flip is Coming! After much thought, I’ve decided to flip the entire room to a 11/13 light cycle. This means it’s time to identify males and let the females show their true potential. Here’s the plan: • Why Flip Now? Despite their smaller size, flipping now allows the plants to reveal their sex while keeping the room’s progress synchronized. This way, I can focus on the keepers and remove the males efficiently. • Revegging the Favorites: By flipping and selecting now, I’ll be able to reveg any standout females later. For those unfamiliar, revegging is a technique where, after flowering, you revert the plant back to a vegetative state. This method preserves genetics you love and allows you to grow clones or expand the line further. 👉 Benefits of Flipping and Revegging: • Speeds up the identification process without needing clones first. • Lets you preserve special traits in the plants. • Adds flexibility in managing space and time. Environment & Nutrition This week, I’ve maintained a steady environment: • Temps: 22°C with about 66% RH. • Nutrients: Continuing with the Aptus Holland lineup—Regulator, Start Booster, and CalMag Boost. The All-in-One Pellets are still providing slow-release nutrition, and the plants seem to love it! Watering from the bottom remains my go-to, helping keep gnats at bay while ensuring even root hydration. The Photographer’s Eye Once again, my Sony A6000 has been in action, capturing the stunning intricacies of these mutants. There’s something magical about zooming in on their delicate details, seeing the interplay of light, and appreciating every curve and serration. Pro tip: The right lens can make all the difference, giving you sharp, breathtaking shots. Shout Outs & Gratitude Big love and thanks to: • Terpyz Mutant Genetics for these incredible seeds! • Aptus Holland for keeping the nutrients dialed in. • Pro Mix Soil for giving the roots a cozy home. • TrolMaster for perfect environmental control. • Future of Grow for the endless inspiration. • Grow Diaries for hosting this amazing community. And, of course, to all the growers, followers, and curious onlookers who make this journey even more special. Your support means the world! 💚 Join the Journey Let’s connect beyond Grow Diaries!

V8, supuestamente hoy haría transplante a los maceteros definitivos, pero, hace 3 días que las plantas están presentando hojas débiles y dobladas hacia abajo, en un principio pensé en que podría ser exceso de agua, pero creo que es exceso de nutrientes, básicamente exceso de nitrógeno, ya que las hojas están con un verde muy oscuro y algunas están presentando manchas color café. Así que hoy les hice lavado de raíz, con agua EC 0, hasta que el drenaje fue de cercano a 4 EC. Esperaré unos días a ver si se recuperan, si no, simplemente las eliminaré y empezaré de nuevo, ojalá se recuperen. V9, al final si era exceso de nutrientes/nitrógeno, menos mal que se recuperaron con el lavado de raíces, pensé que morirían, ahora veré como siguen para decidir si hago transplante hoy mismo. V10, se realizó trasplante a macetas definitivas y un riego suave. Las plantas están todavía en recuperación, esperaré unos días más para empezar el LST. V12, riego. V13, se realizó una pequeña defoliación y LST.

My plants' fan leaves are growing crooked, it must be mutant genetics, other than that they are growing quite healthily.

Starting to ease up on the feed now going into week 7 of flower. The buds are really starting to bulk up in size and the smell is still increasing into a sweeter aroma as they develop further. More defoliation again this week, unfortunately I needed to remove a few too many underdeveloped buds from one of the smaller plants to help improve airflow and help prevent damp developing around the denser areas of the plant. I plan to add another fan this week to help increase air circulation in general. Keeping a close eye on the trichome development now as they finish up. ✌️

798 grams for one plant stems and all. 112 grams dry no . This is a bit less than the dwc weigh in but far superior bud and less stem and leaf. I can fit 9 of these plants under the light in my 5x5. Doing the math to attain the grams per watt. If I had the tent full with 9 of them the harvest with light maxed out 720 watts would be approx 1.4 grams per watt plus or minus variations. I hope my math is right here because that's what I'm putting down. I also only had my grow light dimmer at 80%. So really it's 1.73 grams per watt. Can I get a math check?

COSMOS F1 CBD ROYAL QUEEN SEEDS This lady was my first grow in a solo cup from start to finish so I was satisfied with the grow. Knowing she would flip about 5 weeks and growing in organic soil I knew she would not get that big. She still produced frosty dense buds and was about a foot tall. Stay Growing!! Thank you for stopping by and taking a look it's much appreciated!! THANK YOU ROYAL QUEEEN SEEDS!! COSMOS F1 CBD/ROYAL QUEEN SEEDS

Plants seem to be growing ok, seeing some fade on the leaves. Not sure if this is a bit nutrient deficiency or not. Plants are drying out faster than usual, probably the temperature. Struggling to get it lower anlong with the humidity. May need a dehumidifier and to crank the a/c.

Jour42 defolliation and LST Jour45 defolliation Jour47 arrosage avec de l'eau ph6.3 à laquelle j'ajoute 1ml par litre d'eau de topmax biobizz La plante entre maintenant en floraison c'est donc le début du stretch Explication en anglais (Stretch explanations more) EXPOSURE TO LIGHT One of the main culprits in abnormal stretching of cannabis plants is the lack of light. Plants that are too far from an adequate light source will respond by accelerating stem growth in order to get closer to the lamp themselves. Especially when there are many other plants. A lack of lighting can easily cause overcrowding in a growing chamber, reducing the steady progression of your crop and the distance ratio between your bulbs and your plants. To address this problem, be sure to provide enough light to your plants to prevent stem growth. At the same time, you should not position your lights too close to your plants either since this would also result in an over-stretching of the stems and in some cases, the loss of your crop. In addition to the distance between the light source and the plant, the type of light you will use also affects the size of the stretching of your crop. The orange and red lights encourage stretching and result in thinner, larger stems. And conversely, blue light stimulates a growth of thicker stems and a smaller size. When a species is ready to enter the vegetative phase and undergo its most drastic stretching period, metal halide lamps can be used to deter far too long stems. THE HEAT Heat is another essential element that can determine the stretch size of your plants during vegetation. Temperatures above 27 degrees push the stems to lengthen more and more and will propel the potential of sativas to push as high as possible. Heat lamps that are positioned too close to plants create an intolerable environment that will grow large, soft plants that will potentially wobble until they fall and lose flowers in its fall. OTHER CAUSES OF STRETCHING There are multiple variables that can lead to the stretching of plants beyond what could normally be expected of the plant. Environmental stressors resulting from transplantation (when a plant passes from one pot to another) can cause the plant to return to shock. This will eventually trigger a reaction causing a stretch. Cannabis plants that are not grown in decent conditions or do not receive enough nutrients will respond in a variety of ways and this includes stretching. Crops that are not spaced far enough apart are likely to stretch to sting the light to other plants. Due to extreme proximity, the plants will fight among themselves to reach the light, forcing them to expand as much as possible throughout the crop. HOW TO CONTROL STRETCHING DURING FLOWERING Stretching during flowering, you guessed it, takes place when you move your plants from the vegetation stage to the flowering stage. This is a completely normal reaction, as your plants are preparing to bear the weight of their heads. Stretching of a plant at the beginning of flowering varies widely; some plants can double in height while others grow only a few centimetres. There are, however, two main variables that can give you at least an idea of how your plants are stretching during flowering, and how much. Here are these two variables: Variety: Genetics has the greatest impact on the size of your plant. In general, sativa varieties stretch more than indicas and tend to develop long, slender stems. Light: Some lights, such as HPS, are more likely to encourage stretching. In addition, great distances between your canopy and your lights will cause the plants to stretch as they try to get closer to the light source. Stretching during flowering usually lasts the first two weeks of the phase. To minimize stretching, keep your lights between 10 (for CFL) and 30 centimetres (for HID) of your canopy. Finally, choose indica varieties if you have a smaller growing space. HOW TO AVOID STRETCHING In many cases, you can expect your cannabis plants to stretch during the flowering phase. Keeping that in mind helps to make a plan in case your species ends up growing much more than you could have imagined. If the information is available, get information on the standard size of your species and compare it to the size of your growing space taking into account the necessary distances between the bulbs and the plants. TRAFFIC While outdoor crop operations benefit from natural air to naturally limit stretching, indoor crops must assume the maintenance of air circulation within a confined space. Basic ventilation is enough to help the cannabis stems strengthen and become thicker rather than too high. In this way, the plants continue to grow vigorously without reaching heights and at the same time, your tolerance ceiling. MANUAL INTERVENTION For growers who want to get their hands dirty, there are physical procedures that can be done to reduce stretching. Similar to the natural effect that the wind has on cannabis plants, manually bending the leaves and stems will cause tiny cracks in the plant's tissues that will cause the plant to focus on regenerating its wounds instead of its vertical growth. THE TOPPING Topping is a form of manual intervention on cannabis to influence its performance, shape or size. In essence, topping is a process in which a new node is cut, growing from the plant to reduce its size and create a "v"-shaped notch that will eventually form two heads. Topping may be an effective measure to combat stretching, but it is important not to do so when the flowering phase begins. In most cases, an abnormal stretch of cannabis plants will not completely destroy your crop. In fact, stretching can indeed help increase your performance. For growers with a growing operation large enough to contain tall plants, stretching can increase the total yield of a species with more vertical space for head formation. In both cases, stretching can easily be planned in advance and there are multiple solutions to help you with this problem which is all too common. May the force be with you 💪
