This is more of an equipment gathering project-first grow so I want to keep it simple and budget friendly, I ordered autos for my first grow but Oregon Elite Seeds sent a free gorilla Girl from Sweet Seeds. Super psyched for my first grow! Day1. Soaked seeds for 4 hours in bottled water, used paper towel method with 100% sprouts within 18 hours inside dark tent at 80 degrees (heater and air purifier) and 40% humidity. Hoping to plant directly into prepared soil (6.9 ph currently) in 24 hours. Day 2. Planted Critical OG Kush and Blackberry Autos 1/4 directly into 8 gallon cloth pots (these are the wrong pots-they are wax lined but the pandemic made getting the aeration pots unavailable-I may have to transfer later). Very lightly watered. i prepared my soil mix and had it acclamated to the grow room. I opened the air vents at each end of the grow room and set heat to 78, placed a bowl of water for humidity and started oscillating fan for airflow. Planted Gorilla Girl in a tupperware dish till i can get something more suitable. I really need another light but shipping just isn't working out. Day 4: 1 OG Critical was culled do to lack of progress. Gorilla Girl hs been repotted and looks fine. The Blackberry are much leggier than the others at this point. I'm watering just enough to get to the roots with bottled spring water. Day5 : the girls just woke up-posted pics. 1 light and 6 plants is not ideal. I'm not sure if I should put the strain that is naturally shorter under the light directly or focus on the tall ones getting enough light to not stretch. Comments appreciated. Day 6: Ligthts off after a 20 hour on cycle. I was concerned that my light insn't adequate spacially. I dropped it down to 15 inches above the seedling and got it tropical in the tent. I also used a 6500k 15 watt shop light for added light color and they enjoyed it, except for 1 had a bit of yellow. I will post photos when they wake up to see how they look after this light/heat/water boost for 20 hours. My Gorilla Girl is the only one that isn't above 2 inches. That one was planted deeper (1 inch instead of1/4th like the others. I did have some "seed helmets" so next time I will go a little over 1/4 inch deep. Qweeby's roots grew like a wad instead of down. I've had to readjust her placement twice because the roots act like they want to be on the surface. I'm excited to see them in 4 hours. I may cull one and start a different seed. The Blackberry Kush is stretchy which seems nice for a new grower like me. I am trying to limit the stretch so they match the Critical OG height but they are hearty toddlers. Day 7: Added a 3000w LED off ebay. I didn't account for the rise in heat but it only got up to 84. Raised it from 18" to 20" and got more air flowing through. One plant has a little yellowing from the inside of the main leaves (inside to out) but it's barely there so I'm going to check PH meter and easy watering since yesterday I did water more then I have thus far-so it could be a little root lock from too much water.

~ FastBuds PAPAYA SHERBET Photoperiod~ Well here we go on another journey together through 'Canna-land' and this one's kinda special... forget that, it's VERY special because this is FastBuds newest surprise for the community, a FEMINIZED PHOTOPERIOD STRAIN!🤯 I was fortunate enough to score these seeds, of which only 1000 were available and can't wait to see what this strain can do! This Papaya Sherbet, according to FastBuds, is a hybrid with a 9-10 weeks flowering period. For a more detailed and accurate description of this strain the following from FastBuds says it best: "Combining the massive stature of Papaya (Oni Selection) with the strength and resilience of one of our best keeper cuts (Sunset Sherbet), this strain develops into a big, expansive bush adorned with numerous bud sites that later transform into a generous harvest of medium-sized buds. Papaya Sherbet flowers deliver a signature flavor of premium cannabis with subtle citrus undertones that emerge upon inhaling. During growth, her aroma makes for a sweet yet pleasantly bitter fragrance, giving you an idea of what the smoke will taste like. Notably stress-resistant, Papaya Sherbet is a great choice for growers working in challenging environments. She is very forgiving and rebounds quickly from any adversity, allowing growers the freedom to experiment with confidence that she will take everything like a champion she is. This strain embodies resilience, flavor, and abundant yields in every grow cycle." Sounds like an epic strain and I personally cannot wait for this lady to strut her stuff!😍 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Setup: This is going to be an outdoor grow, but I have started the Papaya Sherbet photoperiod indoors as our weather is still a bit too chilly to put a newly sprouted seedling outside (nighttime temp's dipping regularly into the 40's℉). The plan is simple... let her grow inside under a 19/5 light schedule until the nighttime temperatures are in the mid 50's℉, which shouldn't be long. After which, she'll be moved outside and transplanted into the soil which I have already setup and inoculated with beneficial microbes from BioTabs and slow release dry amendments from Gaia Green. Once she's established herself outside she'll be given periodic top dressings of Gaia Green 4-4-4 and 2-8-4 along with worm castings and Compost Tea's. Her grow area is approx. 5'x5' and I have posts and a trellis net set up already for when she gets bigger to aid in training her. Let the fun begin!🤪💚 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 7/10- The FastBuds Papaya Sherbet photoperiod is now entering her ninth week since breaking ground and she is gaining height by the day now! The Papaya Sherbet photo continues to display excellent vigor and overall health. She has a fairly wide node spacing, which is nice as it makes her easier to manage than a bushy plant with tight node spacing. 7/12- Our summer weather continues to be hot, although we do get a break from the heat when we're lucky enough to get some rain which also helps mitigate the daily watering. 7/14- The Papaya Sherbet photoperiod from FastBuds is definitely going through a growth spurt and is gaining inches by the day now! Yesterday it rained the better part of the day, which provided over an inch of rain. Today,I went ahead and watered in the afternoon, but only gave the Papaya Sherbet photo approx. 3g of well water from the garden hose. 7/16- Well the weather and the FastBuds Papaya Sherbet photo are both on fire! Hopefully the weather will cool down soon, and the Papaya Sherbet photo will continue to impress!🤩 There's another week of veg for this beauty and I can't wait to see how big this lady gets! Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

**Encontrarás la traducción a español al final de la descripción** From/Desde: 26/04/19 || To/Hasta: 02/05/19 From day/Desde día: 64 || To day/Hasta día: 70 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----- 13 & 15 - Plant with symptoms of an overdose of co2 in the roots, this came from the very beggining of growing 20 - Awesome leaf isn't it 22, 23 & 24 - Buds are forming very awesome. Full of crystals with very beauty pistils 25 - Probably one of the best shots i ever take, i'm in love with this one. -----WEEK SUMMARY----- After defoliation, the buds have started to release crystals in a very massive way, although the nodes of the tails are not growing enough to join with their upper part, but, they are growing a bit and fattening a lot. II'm very amazed with the amount of crystals present in all the leaves, be they small or large. Just touching the surface of any of them your fingers get too sticky. -----WATERING CALENDAR----- I didn't raised the ammount of water this week, i'm watering 1 day and then 2 dry days. This week covers 3 days of watering that's where the increment comes from. 26/04/19 - 1,250 ml with B52, Nirvana, Big Bud, Bud Candy, Rhino Skin & Bud Factor-X @ PH6.4 & 1.2 E.C. 29/04/19 - 1,250 ml with All week nutrients -(Nirvana & Blombastic) also Big Bud half dosed @ PH6.4 & 2.1 E.C. Note: 2.1 E.C is too high for this week, i should be around 1.6 E.C. (I'm testing a thing) 02/05/19 - 1,250 ml with Rhino Skin, Big Bud, Bud Candy, B52, Bud Factor-x, Blombastic, Sensizym & Nirvana @ PH6.4 & 1.5 E.C. *****ESPAÑOL***** -----IMÁGENES Y VÍDEOS----- 13 & 15 - La planta con síntoma de sobredosis de co2 en las raíces, esto viene del principio de la fase de crecimiento 20 - ¿No es una hoja increíble? 22, 23 & 24 - Los cogollos se están formando preciosos, llenos de cristales y con unos pistilos increíbles. 25 - Esta es probablemente una de las mejores fotos que he hecho. A mi me encanta por lo menos. -----SUMARIO SEMANAL----- Después de la defoliación, los cogollos han empezado a soltar cristales de manera muy masiva, aunque los nodos de las colas no están creciendo lo suficiente como para unirse con su parte superior, si están creciendo algo y engordando mucho. No me deja de asombrar la cantidad de cristales presentes en todas las hojas, ya sean pequeñas o grandes. Con sólo rozar la superficie de cualquiera de ellas se te quedan los dedos pegados. -----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO----- No he incrementado la cantidad de riego esta semana, es sólo que han coincidido 3 días de riego y suelen ser 2. Riego día si, 2 no. 26/04/19 - 1.250 ml con B52, Nirvana, Big Bud, Bud Candy, Rhino Skin y Bud Factor-X @ PH6.4 & 1.2 E.C. 29/04/19 - 1.250 ml con todos los nutrientes semanales -(Nirvana & Blombastic) también el Big Bud sólo en media dosis @ PH6.4 & 2.1 E.C. Nota: 2.1 E.C. es muy elevado para esta semana, debería estar alrededor de 1.6 (Estoy probando una cosa) 02/05/19 - 1.250 ml con Rhino Skin, Big Bud, Bud Candy, B52, Bud Factor-x, Blombastic, Sensizym y Nirvana @ PH6.4 & 1.5 E.C.

Everything going well buds continue to develop & put on size, starting to get frosty with trichomes & buds are sticky to touch & smell a bit aswell

Trichs are getting frosty and buds stacking up. I wasn’t to let her go longer to see how much bulk she can pack on. Only day 66 after all

This week has been great.I'm glad that I was able to pull the plant when I needed to. The weather out here isn't always the best coming towards the end of October. How ever i handle it the best we can. What ive learned to do is wet trim before hang dry. Heres some phots of these glossing nugs. Iknkw ill lose a bitin water weight but im happy none the less. Fire 🔥 This has been a great grow, I learned a lot from Growing out here in new mexico. It was amazing to be able to train these plants 4 into one using training techniques. LST, HST, Defolation & topping all play a roll. It is fun to learn and sharpen my skills. I hope everyone enjoys my diary. Thank you so much Divine seeds. I appreciate the free seeds and the friendly community competition 👌 There's a lot of good growers outthere and I wanna learn from all. Much love ❤️ I'll be back with a smoke review soon

Wie auch bei der runtz, hoffen wir mal dass sich die stretch in weiteren Grenzen hält. Die sunday wächst ziemlich buschig. Hier werde ich beim lollipoppen auf jeden Fall jede Menge zu tun haben. Ich habe zwischendurch auch kleinste Äste wie bei der runtz, entfernt. Ebenfalls ein zwei Blättern die andere kleinere Blüten verdecken. Die Lampe läuft schon auf 65%. Mehr wird aufgrund der Temperaturen einfach nicht gehen. Aber bei 440 Watt sollte das auch ausreichend sein. Auch hier habe ich den ersten Zucker entdeckt. Ich bin gespannt wie sie sich weiterentwickeln wird im Gegensatz zu der runtz 🤔🤷🏼

This is the first time I've grown an auto that I can't properly train at day 20. Even leaf tucking doesn't work as well. Node spacing is way to close. I now understand why they call this the Mephisto "Cabbage" Strain. Great for closet spaces I guess! Day 20, 28Jan, Wed ♥️💛💚 Each got 1400 mL 0.3/L of CalMag and GrowBig Day 23, 31 Jan, Sat ♥️💛💚 Each got 1500 mL Added some Recharge to this 6.4 pH water.

Hello / Good night after having passed difficult tests in terms of cloning we have 16 cloned after 3 weeks of growth we are leaving for flowering we are very happy today to be the long live green 🍀

sempre più bella la nostra amica misteriosa🎄🤪 Qualcuno di voi sa dirmi che specie è?

Lovely growth on the buds this week. Struggling to smell at the moment due to my filter but once out of the tent it is smelling beautiful

Wedding glue is on the full wind down now fading beautifully and sticky as she’s a stunner . Dried and smoked a bud this week and it was so tasty absolutely incredible plant !! She will come out in three or four days after a flush ( yerr yerr I know bro science flush etc etc , I’m convinced it tastes better flushed 💨😍. ) Looks to be a 10 oz plant or close to it fastbuds producing the goods time after time

In general, I liked growing this variety, the only thing is a lot of small leaves, it is not very convenient to cut, but the colas are very dense and weigh well, there are also many small stepsons, although I cleaned up during unnecessary time, powdery mildew appeared after the rain, which is difficult get rid of the large number of leaves on the plant, and it's very good)

Last week of growing started, we will switch to flowering at the end of the week. Nothing special was done, simply water as all had seaweed and biogrow already, during flower we will only add some extra PK and some sugars and it should be more than enough!

week 28/4 - 5/5

Servus Moin! Die Black Orchard kann wieder von alleine stehen. Sie hat ein wenig Hitzestress denke ich. Weil das eine Blatt bisschen Takko-rolling macht. Es ist aber zur Zeit auch sehr warm.
