I had to go out of town twice for 5 days for a business trip. Minor errors occurred at that time. It's an easy genre overall. You should not be afraid of fertilizing too much. I'll be back with comments on taste, dry weight and feel. By the way, I'm waiting for your dry weight estimates, I think it will be between 145-165 grams.

Everything is going great :-) You can see every day how they continue to explode :-) Although we are still at the beginning of the vegi phase, the roots grow out on the first drain hose. I carefully pushed it back up into the system :-) As fast as it all goes, I think I'll switch to bloom next week. I wish you all a nice grow 😎

Que pasa familia, puesto que la compañera y yo estamos bajo mínimos, hemos decidido proceder a un lavado de raíces temprano, y un estrés hídrico para limpiar raíces y estresarla un poco. Todo va sobre ruedas , puesto que el Covid afecta al confinamiento, decidimos cortar las gorillas estos días siguientes para secar y en nada tener algún bote para subsistir 😂🤣. -El estrés hídrico es reducir cada riego la cantidad de agua, para que la planta se estrese y escupa tricomas sus últimos días. Esta variedad de sweet seeds es INCREÍBLE, aun cortándola pronto me parece que los resultados son inmejorables, su olor a melón me encanta y se ve repleta de thc. Nos vemos en la cosecha fumetillas, y mucho ánimo para todos.

05/24 - (M) - The mother has been harvested and dried - She produced roughly 3 oz's after drying - Considering I pulled a good amount of clones from her early 3 oz's is acceptable on this harvest - Completely negated the hay smell through drying - Nuggz are full and dense - smoke is clean and smooth. 05/24 - (C) - The clones are coming along nicely - They have about 5 maybe 6 weeks left until harvest - They were moved into the 2x2 tent to finish (Needed the bigger tent for my follow up grow) - The clones have a deep citrus smell - The budsites are filling out accordingly- Thus far no issues through first couple weeks of flower - I included 2 nutrients to their feeds Green Planet Horti Bloom and Late Bloom. Follow my IG for more content IG@Greenphoenix6262😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎 05/27 - (M) - This will be the last entry for the mother - She has been trimmed down and placed in cure jars with humidity packs for curing - The first cut from this batch (MOM) is nearly perfect - No hay smell - clean smoke - white ash - looking to step it up with the clones. 05/27 - (C) - The clones are flowering perfectly - Temps are at 69-71 - Humidity at 65% - They have been switched back to manual feeding to finish out - I say they have about 3 maybe 4 weeks left and this run should be completed - Stay tunned. 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

Hello 👋 and welcome back. I've been really, really stoned for a month or two. I do enjoy a good cleaning. No need to be rushing this one, I've got a lot of stuff to tweak in the grow tent. Give it a good scrub to boot. Added a bunch of organic amendments to the medium and reloaded mineral content. Giving it a few weeks to let everything break down, settle in, and balance out before beginning, I'll be doing a thorough pH and EC prior to placing anything in the final pot and making sure to give it a good till in the top soil once everything is broken down into more palatable size. Organic fertilizer = organic matter that's still in the process of breaking down. Mineral fertilizer = salt mineral that's already broken down and ready for uptake in its current form. Synthetic mineral fertilizer = man-made minerals ready for uptake in their current form. Synthetic concentrated fertilizer = man-made concentrates that don't exist in nature. Adding this grow. 500g Horticultural charcoal. 454g Elite Shungite Coal (Fullerene C60). 1kg Spirulina is approx NPK 10%, 100g/1kg (N), 20% 200g/1kg (P), and 20% 200g/1kg (K). In 1 kg (1000g) of spirulina, you can expect approximately 50 mg to 177 mg of Zeaxanthin. 1 kg of moringa powder, approximate NPK : 4.8% N, 0.5% P, and 1.9% K. 500g Azomite. (Ultimate mineral micro nutrient). 1kg of Gaia green 4-4-4, 1kg of 4-4-4 fertilizer contains 4% which is equivalent to 40 grams of each in 1000g. 500g eggshells, 20grams of calcium per 500g. Generally, the more organic matter a plant breaks down, the higher the soil's electrical conductivity (EC) tends to be. This is because the breakdown of organic matter releases nutrients into the soil solution, which increases the concentration of dissolved ions that conduct electricity. Roots and microorganisms do not directly compete for electrical conductivity itself. However, they do interact in the rhizosphere, a zone around plant roots where microbes and plants compete for resources like nutrients and water, which can indirectly influence electrical conductivity. Plant roots release exudates (carbon) into the soil, providing energy and nutrients for microbes. In return, microbes can help plants access nutrients, particularly in the rhizosphere, where nutrient availability can be high. Both roots and microbes compete for the same resources, such as phosphorus (P) and iron (Fe). Factors like microbial decomposition of plant-derived chelators and the proximity of microbes to the root surface can influence this competition. Carbon 60 (Fullerene) can enhance plant growth by boosting microbial activity in the soil, improving water retention, and even increasing plant biomass and yield. It's not a fertilizer, but rather a soil amendment that acts as an ideal companion product for fertilization programs. Studies have shown that fullerenes can influence soil bacterial communities and potentially activate processes like nitrogen transformation in the soil. Some research suggests that fullerenes can increase the availability of nutrients and enhance plant growth. Buckminsterfullerene is a type of fullerene with the formula C60. It has a cage-like fused-ring structure (truncated icosahedron) made of twenty hexagons and twelve pentagons, and resembles a soccer ball. Each of its 60 carbon atoms is bonded to its three neighbors. Shungite coal, particularly the "precious Shungite" variety, is known to contain fullerenes, with a higher content found in Shungite of category 3. The most common fullerene, C60 (also known as buckminsterfullerene or a buckyball), is a well-studied example. The influence of water-soluble carboxylated light fullerene derivatives on the physiological plant state is not well studied. The addition of Spirulina is primarily for zeaxanthin, as it contains a lot. But on top of that, Hawaiian Spirulina is cultivated in open ponds using a combination of 100% fresh potable water from Hawaiian aquifers and ultra-pure, deep ocean water containing all 94 trace minerals & elements. It is then gently dried using patented Ocean Chill Drying technology and cold-pressed to ensure maximum nutrient levels. Spirulina, a blue-green alga, is rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK), making it an excellent source of nutrients for plant growth. Studies have shown that Spirulina can be used as a biofertilizer, effectively replacing chemical fertilizers, especially for nitrogen with a whopping, NPK of 10% (N), 20% (P), and 20% (K). Azomite needs no introduction; Just incase, Azomite delivers 70+ minerals and trace elements to boost BRIX, root strength, soil vitality, and yields. Micronized. Moringa is a highly nutrient-dense plant, often called the "miracle tree" or "tree of life" due to its impressive nutritional profile and potential health benefits. It's particularly rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other bioactive compounds, making it a valuable resource for addressing malnutrition and promoting overall health. Containing over 92 verifiable nutrients, Moringa oleifera is found to be the most nutrient-dense plant on earth. As far as we know this is the only place online where we list all 92 (and more) nutrients of the Moringa tree and we list all 46 antioxidants of the Moringa tree too. Deep in the Himalayas is a tree called Moringa oleifera, also known as the drumstick tree, and throughout the subtropics, this tree is cultivated for its amazing health benefits. This amazing tree has the ability to grow in an array of conditions, and its health benefits are astonishing. The drumstick tree contains a staggering 92 nutrients and 46 natural antioxidants and as it also holds a number of anti-inflammatory compounds. The sheer number of nutrients found in this tree brings it to the top of the superfoods list, and in its native locations, it is said to have the ability to help treat more than 300 diseases and illnesses. To give you an idea, just a single serving of the Moringa tree contains: 4 times the amount of calcium in the same amount of milk. More vitamin C than 7 oranges. Double the protein and 3 times the amount of potassium in a banana. It's high antioxidant levels can help fight free radicals, potentially slowing down the ageing process and promoting longevity. It is thought to be able to help lower cholesterol levels and regulate blood pressure, due to the high levels of niacin and vitamins B3 and B10. A serving of 100g of this tree gives: Over 8g protein Over 400mg potassium Nearly 450mg calcium 164mg vitamin C 738 ¼g of vitamin A. Moringa also contains vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, B7, A, C, K, E and D. Amino Acids: In addition, it contains various other nutrients, including the following essential amino acids: Threonine – a nutrient that helps metabolism and prevents fatty buildup in the liver. It also aids digestion. Isoleucine – good for a healthy brain and helps to give the body natural energy. Leucine – works hand in hand with isoleucine to increase energy levels. Phenylalanine – aids communication between the brain’s nerve cells and also helps to reduce hunger pangs as well as increasing alertness and improving memory. Tryptophan – supports your immune system, and its mood boosting ability helps to beat depression and anxiety-associated insomnia. It also reduces the risk of heart attack and lowers bad cholesterol levels. Lysine – aids the absorption of calcium into the bones, supports antibodies and regulates various hormones as well as inhibiting the growth of virus cells. Methionine – provides the body with sulphur as well as helping to lower cholesterol. It also supports the liver, kidneys, and helps keep skin, hair and nails healthy. Valine – helps to keep the mind calm. There are other amino acids in Moringa too, which are not essential to the body but are still beneficial in supporting health. These include histidine, alanine, glutamic acid, arginine, cysteine, proline, aspartic acid, glycine, serine, and tyrosine. Moringa seeds contain oils that hold high levels of oleic acid, which may act to reduce inflammation. https://amchara.com/detox-cleanse/92-nutrients-and-46-antioxidants-in-one-tree-maringa-oleifera/ 4.8% N, 0.5% P, and 1.9% K. Moringa can also serve as a natural source of nitrogen, potentially replacing chemical fertilizers. About 95% of the dry eggshell is calcium carbonate weighing 5.5 grams. The average eggshell contains about . 3% phosphorus and . 3% magnesium and traces of sodium, potassium, zinc, manganese, iron and copper. 1 ppm in water (mg/L) = 1 ppm in soil (mg/kg) If you use 10 grams of 10-20-20 fertilizer in 4 liters of water: Nitrogen: (10 grams * 10/100 * 1000000) / 4000 mL = 2500 ppm N Phosphorus: (10 grams * 20/100 * 1000000) / 4000 mL = 5000 ppm P Potassium: (10 grams * 20/100 * 1000000) / 4000 mL = 5000 ppm K In summary, to determine the precise ppm of an NPK fertilizer, you need to know the specific weight of fertilizer used, the volume of water, and the NPK percentages. The general formula and example calculations can help you make these conversions.

Week 10 Update – Sticky Broccoli Auto Late Flower / Staggered Harvest Begins This week marked the start of harvest. One plant had to come down early due to size and structural issues, but overall quality is still looking strong. The remaining plants are being staggered for harvest to dial in peak ripeness. ⸻ Drying / Post-Harvest Note • One harvested plant nearly filled the Cannatrol Cool Cure C • Space is now a real concern for the remaining harvest • May need to stagger loads or get creative with drying strategy ⸻ Lighting & Canopy Management • Installed under-canopy lighting (3/25) • ~24W per light • Producing 200–300 PPFD under canopy • Helps push lower bud development late into flower • Likely contributed to improved lower-site density ⸻ Feeding Strategy Shift • Fully transitioned to hand feeding • Removed emitters to prevent overwatering and improve control • Beginning staggered flush approach: • 2 plants switched to plain RO water • Final plant continues light feeding before final flush ⸻ Feeding Log 3/26 – Standard Feed • 4 gallons mixed, ~2.5 gallons used • ~5% runoff per plant • 5.8 pH Per gallon: • 0.5ml Silicium Bloom • 2ml MagCal • 4ml Green Sensation • 2ml Cocos A • 8ml Cocos B • 4ml Pure Zym ⸻ 3/27 – Accidental Heavy Feed (Adjusted) • Mixed wrong schedule, used ~50% • 900 ppm / 5.8 pH Per gallon: • 0.5ml Silicium Bloom • 2ml MagCal • 4ml Green Sensation • 3ml Cocos A • 12ml Cocos B • 4ml Pure Zym ⸻ 3/28 – No Feed ⸻ 3/30 – Light Feed / Transition Phase • Fed at lights on (~2:30 AM) • ~5% runoff • 430 ppm / 6.0 pH Per gallon: • 0.5ml Silicium Bloom • 2ml MagCal • 4ml Green Sensation • 2ml Cocos A • 8ml Cocos B • 4ml Pure Zym ⸻ Trichome & Ripeness Check • Majority: cloudy dominant • Some amber beginning to show • Small percentage still clear • Right in the harvest window depending on desired effect ⸻ Observations • Bud weight is seriously stacking – causing structural issues • Under-canopy lighting seems to be helping lower development • Plants are finishing strong with good resin coverage • Staggered harvest should help maximize overall quality ⸻ Next Steps • Chop 2 plants this weekend • Let final plant push another week for increased amber • Monitor Cannatrol capacity and drying timing • Continue RO water on finishing plants

**Encontrarás la traducción a español al final de la descripción** From/Desde: 03/05/19 || To/Hasta: 09/05/19 From day/Desde día: 71 || To day/Hasta día: 77 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----- 4, 5 & 6: Same tail 10: Leaves affected by CO2 in the roots commented in previous weeks -----WEEK SUMMARY----- As you can see in the videos, the buds are creating massive amounts of crystals. As I already mentioned, due to the short time of growth I gave them and the massive defoliation, the tails are not coming together from bottom to top, however, the buds are growing and fattening very well, so much that they make you want to eat them. Besides, they are not only full of crystals, they are also extremely sticky much more than the plants that I've had so far. On the other hand the smell is already super intense this week, it's difficult to hide it on the apartment, although it's something that I don't care about. -----WATERING CALENDAR----- 05/04/19 - 1,250 ml with All week nutrients -(Nirvana, B52 & Blombastic) also Big Bud half dosed @ PH6.4 & 1.7 E.C. 08/04/19 - 1,250 ml with Bud Candy, Big Bud, Nirvana, B52, Bud Factor-X, Sensizym & Blombastic @ PH6.4 & 1.7 E.C. *****ESPAÑOL***** -----IMÁGENES Y VÍDEOS----- 4, 5 & 6: Misma cola 10: Muestra de las hojas afectadas por exceso de co2 en las raíces que he comentado en las semanas anteriores. -----SUMARIO SEMANAL----- Como podéis ver en los vídeos los cogollos están creando cantidades masivas de cristal, como ya comenté debido al corto tiempo de crecimiento que les di y a la defoliación masiva, las colas no se están juntando de arriba abajo, no obstante, los cogollos están creciendo y engordando muy bien, tanto que dan ganas de comérselos. Además no solo están llenísimos de cristales, también son extremadamente pegajosos mucho más que las plantas que he tenido hasta el momento. Por otro lado el olor ya es super intenso esta semana, se hace difícil ocultarlo en el piso, aunque es algo que no me importa. -----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO----- 05/04/19 - 1,250 ml con todos los nutrientes semanales -(Nirvana, B52 y Blombastic), Big Bud sólo media dosis @ PH6.4 & 1.7 E.C. 08/04/19 - 1,250 ml con Bud Candy, Big Bud, Nirvana, B52, Bud Factor-X, Sensizym y Blombastic @ PH6.4 & 1.7 E.C.

Another good week in the garden. Day 37 since iniating the flower cycle! Day 29 of since visble flower (pistils) showing. Pheno #7 is doing particularly well and is the reason we allocated half of our test area to it. She has an aroma reminiscent of what you would expect from the jelly rancher - jelly babies, sour worms, and super fruity. It's a fast-flowering plant and has plenty of trichomes. Pheno #1 also has some impressive terpenes, and structure but not as quick. Pheno #8 is big and vigorous is proving to be a high-yielder. Not as terpe as the other 2 Pheno #5 is similar to #8 but has more hairs. We will start harvesting #7 and #8 in the next 14 days or so :D Untill next week ✊

Hello Growmies, As the curtain falls on our Epic Buzz journey, we are now stepping into the crucial drying phase. Based on the density and size of these magnificent buds, I anticipate this process will take another 4 days to ensure the perfect moisture content for a prime cure. The end of one project always heralds the beginning of another. Once the drying is complete, and our Epic Buzz is jarred up for curing, the tent won't have time to gather any dust. My next venture for the Super Sativa Seed Club Video Contest is raring to go! The Auto Bruce Lemon Diesel has already sprouted, eager to bask in the tent's vacated space. Their symphony of growth is about to unfold. You can follow this next exciting chapter at the link below, and join me as I navigate through the life cycle of this promising strain: https://growdiaries.com/diaries/199311-super-sativa-seed-club-auto-bruce-lemon-diesel-grow-journal-by-salokin Stay tuned for updates and insights. Until then, stay lifted and keep those green thumbs busy! Salokin

Hola, esta es la semana numero 11 de estos esquejes y es su ultima semana de vegetación. Es más de estos 7 días los dos últimos fueron ya con el ciclo 12/12. Se les realizo la ultima defoliación el día de cambio de fotoperiodo para que entraran de buena manera a la floración. El cambio de fotoperiodo lo hago de manera progresiva, voy bajando dos horas diarias de luz por día hasta llegar a 12/12. El día 04/08 fue cuando comenzaba el ciclo 12/12 es por esto que se hizo la segunda aplicación de delta9 vía foliar, la tercera será en 10 días mas y a través del riego. Por lo demás todo va bastante bien, las dos plantas van con buen aspecto y sin posibles carencias, espero que todo siga así. Empezamos con todo la flora!! Cualquier recomendación será bien recibida!!

Welcome to the Week 10 update for the Sweet Seeds Gorilla Girl XL Auto’s. Not much to report as this grow is on cruise control until harvest. I will be finishing up with the bloom fertilizer and starting to flush as these lovely ladies finish out Week 10 and move into Week 11. Defoliating as necessary and consistently checking trichomes as I’ve already spotted the first few ambers in and among the already cloudy trichs! Thanks for stopping by and checking out my grow! 😎

Everything is going well ( day 22 ) , I figured out my lighting issue. I raised my lights all the way up to the top and turned them to 75% power and the plants are doing well now now wilting or anything
