Could this be done?

So I have already made plans for how I am going to go through TH9 once I get there. Where I stand now it looks like I could be at TH9 in a month or so. I have decided to gem ALL of my defense upgrades for TH9. But with a twist. As you all already know, that would cost an insane amount of money and gems to do. So, I have made some adjustments. With the help of the wiki, I calculated the amount of gems needed if I gemmed each defense at a certain time in the upgrade. What do I mean? Well, instead of gemming a defense like a cannon right when I start the upgrade, I will actually let it upgrade for a few days and then gem it. To give you an idea, I will explain how I will gem cannons. They take 5 days to upgrade to lv 11. So, I will let each cannon upgrade for 3 days before gemming them. This would leave 2 days, and thus making the cost of gems only 383 per cannon. I calculated that this would cost a total of 16,200 gems for all the defenses. I will post all of my calculations below:

EDIT: I am going to save up most of these gems from achievements and such, not buy them.

1915 gems – Cannons (2 days left for each cannon)
2 days = 383 gems
383 x 5 = 1915

2298 gems – Archer Towers (2 days left for each archer tower)
2 days = 383 gems
383 x 6 = 2298

1149 gems – Mortars (2 days left for each mortar)
2 days = 383 gems
383 x 3 = 1149

2024 gems – Air Defenses (3 days left for each Air Defense)
3 days = 506 gems
506 x 4 = 2024

1532 gems – Wizard Towers (2 days left for each Wizard Tower)
2 days = 383 gems
383 x 4 = 1532

2024 gems – Hidden Teslas (3 days left for each Hidden Tesla)
3 days = 506 gems
506 x 4 = 2024

*Xbows - This is the complicated part because they are new

766 gems – Xbows (2 days left) - Building them
2 days = 383 gems
383 x 2 = 766

766 gems – Xbows (2 days left) - Upgrade to lv 2
2 days = 383 gems
383 x 2 = 766

3726 gems – Xbows (0 days left) - Upgrade to lv 3
14 days = 1863 gems
1863 x 2 = 3726

Grand Total – 16,200 gems

What I want to know is could this be done?

I'm a nearly maxed out th 9. I got all the gold without geming! When you get there at first you will notice that it's somehow hard to get gold. As you evolve your th 9 you will get use to it and will find good bases to loot gold. The first things i got in th 9 were the x-bows but then i upgraded all 4 army camps and upgraded the troops i use to raid for their max levels. At th9 i recomend staying between gold 3 and gold 2 leages. I basicaly evolved all my th 9 in gold 2 but now i'm at gold 3 because here i'm farming some serious ammout of gold and at gold 3 , as a developed th 9, people only come for my th outside my walls and when they try to get my loot, they're exterminated by my th9 defences.

Resuming : don't buy gems, be patient, firstly evolve your camps and troops and stay arround gold 3-2.
(I have 5 builders. Things at th9 take a long time to upgrade. So if you want to put gems to buy more builders... i recomend)
I've evolved all my th9 like this!
Good luck! Hope this helped you!

P.s. i'm taking more time at th 9 because i came from a not maxed out th8. But now everything is at it's max level. Just one more archer tower to lv 11, 1 more wizard tower to lv 7, and 4 more air defences till i upgrade to th 10. I presume that these upgrades will take about 1 more month. I've been in th 9 for 2 month till now. So i presume that if you're a maxed out th 8 when you reach th9, have 5 builders and don't leave any of your builders lazy you'll be upgrading to th 10 in about 3 month without geming!

WARNING: TO BE AT TH 10 IN ABOUT 3 MONTH YOU MUST HAVE 5 BUILDERS! OTHERWISE IT WILL TAKE MORE TIME!

I don't see why not?
Question is how much time is that saving you? About sixty days or something? 14k gems are $100 so a little over that to cut off sixty days or so? I'm in the wait it out camp but I don't see why that wouldn't work if you can constantly get enough gold to start those upgrades.

A majority of the gems I was hoping to get from obstacles and achievements. So I would not spend much money.

DON'T DO IT- earn coins and elixir the hard way, and it's not a very good idea on wasting all those gems and money to speed upgrades up

I was intending not to spend much of my money. I realize I did not include that, and fixed my original post. If I could get between 5k and 6k gems from achievements then I could just use an app like appbounty to get some more gems and maybe spend a few bucks to finish it up.

If you really want to gem... gem your troops upgrade is better. What's the point of max all defense and have low level troops. The game is all about offense not defense.

Read my comment again! I have added more info on the end of it!
