Day 15 - The start of week 3 and the girls are really taking off, from 1-2 Inches of vertical growth daily. Consuming a good amount of water, almost leaving the bucket empty. lol. Lightly defoliating to keep the bud sites exposed to light, as they get bushy very fast and recovery is only taking a day for them to bounce back. Pretty happy with how things are going right now. Slightly increased the EC by .2 but not enough to burn them.. which is the goal. Grateful for my trolmaster unit as it has made keeping tracking of my parameters much easier and effortless. Day 16- Topping up the res with RO water every two days. Otherwise I'm sure it would be empty! Pistils are showing and the bud sites are very visible. Seeing one pheno with slightly more sativa dominant traits. Luckily I took clones so I can run the best pheno next time around, although all these plants are special. Still going through the flower stretch. Excited for what is to come. Stay tuned for the results. Day 18 - As you can see, the difference is night and day over a period of 2 days they have had an explosion of growth. They were heavily defoliated on day 17 and bounced back within a day. Happy plants preying. Bud sites are forming everywhere now. Not much to report. Until the end of week 3 in a few days. Bring on week 4. Follow my Instagram and YouTube (link in bio)

Day 34 - 14/01/20 Smoothie auto is gonna be a hell of a strain! i broke the bottom most branch off as the fan leaf was sticking into the dirt and the sap from inside the branch was just stinking of fruits and skittles basically! All of my plants are basically the same height (46-47cm) even my cayenne pepper plant which is in full flowering and should be ready in about 3 weeks! Chefk the pictures/videos i added and let me know what you all think in the comments :) Thanks for checking out my diary and il update again soon.

Hey hey! What’s goin on growmies? I hope everyone is doing well and everyone’s gardens are doing fantastic as always! Today marks the beginning of week 4! That’s right, one whole month today! This week the girls look like they are feeling MUCH better! Everyone seems as though they have completely bounced back from what we’ll call our “taproot incident….” Dare I say ready for transplant! Due to that recent trauma though, I am really going to try not to push it too much this grow- I’m going to play it safe and feel like that will benefit me most- but that being said, GENERALLY speaking, I train, top and transplant autos and photos alike- I just think certain things need to be considered… this is me considering those things. This being said, I decided to transplant them into their final pots, usually I try and transplant at least one more time but I don’t have any mycorrhizal product anyways so I won’t beat myself up too bad for not transplanting the autos more, it definitely can be considered playing with fire and I think in this scenario specifically due to the fact that I already slow down their growth- I just have to know when to pause, regroup, and head in a slightly different direction. I ended up going with 5 gallon fabric pots, I have no issues with and have been using 3 gallons up until now for autos however I noticed how the roots were looking after I had harvested my last plants and I wondered if there would be any noticeable difference between the three and the five. I have heard with autos you really don’t need to go above a three so I’m not saying that I’m changing up my game completely I’m just experimenting… We decided to fill those 5 gallon fabric pots with a blend of Coco and perlite, I go with a rough 70 to 30 ratio on that mixture. I actually had to split the transplanting process into two separate days because I ran out of the coco mixture I had made- I bought a bag of Coco Loco from fox farms And mixed in my own perlite the first day but then today I finished transplanting everything and went with Fox Farms cultivation nation which saved me a step, for those of you who are in familiar with that product it is just there 70/30 cocoa perlite blend and I have used it numerous times, both of those with great success. When I put them back into my tent I rearranged things a little bit- I set that scrog up in a debatably weird spot of my tent, however I am glad that I did! I was looking for just a bit of room and it looks like I found it! In a perfect world they would all be raised on the same cement blocks that I have for the others, however Christmas is coming up and I really have to spend wisely so those will just have to wait! They really exploded growth wise this week so I am excited for next week to see how they are lookin- I think they are ready to roll so it’s off to the races for these little ladies! Growmies, once again thank you so much for following along, we have some amazing things in the works- I think we are about to really see what these girls can do and I couldn’t be happier that you are here to follow along and experience this with me! I hope all of you have an outstanding week with vigorous growth in all of your gardens! Growers love everybody!!! 💚🤙🌱

The flagship of all my grow rooms, this is the strain you want to run into constant production I find strains the pack on the sugar, but will not bulk up and chunk up, in my option Seed Junky Genetics always delivers top notch seeds

I think she's growing into flower stage .. not sure when it technically starts. She's not as big as I thought she would be when flowering started but I think she can still grow during flower stage. She is kinda bushy, that's pretty awesome. She's really a lovely plant all by herself.. even without the fact that she will one day get me stoned. She really is lovely. I haven't started giving her nutrients yet because she just doesn't seem to need them. I attempted some low stress training and broke a limb .. so now she's super lopsided lol .. poor girl. I've messed her up so many times. I'm trying to see if I can get the limb to grow as a close. 12/19 The soil seems to be giving them enough nuts at the moment... I noticed her tips were coming in yellow but that's something that happens every bit of now growth and water. I'm not putting nutes in her water yet. I'm not sure when I will since the soil is doing such a good job. I'm thinking she's going to flower soon but I'm not sure. I might have the wind too close to her but it seems to help keep the little bugs away and let's me worry a lot less about humidity. I turn her but I like to have her toward the wind on that cup shape. I used black yarn to tie her down and recently switched the pipe cleaner .. much better. Also using the binder clips to the sides of the bag to help have lots of places to bend. I'm currently tucking in the big fan leaves to try and keep them out of the way, but still letting them be big solar plates .. getting that light to help the plant grow and heal. This poor plant has gone through hell and back. She is my first grow and has lived through every mistake I've made .. and thrived! I love this girl. When she was a seedling I tugged her tap root When she was a small plant I accidently yanked her roots When she was a seedling first repotted I dropped the pot behind a shelf and it was everywhere I started with no real light except Amazon deals I broke half of her area off by breaking a big limb

First week of florwering is over. They all already show pistills so induction was successful. I did a little defoliation to uncover bud sites and LST-d Strawberry Cough since it was much higher than the rest of the ladies. Now I do have even-ish canopy. CA$H and Mimozz are going superb. Cough is okay, not great, not bad. Grandpa's Cookies is a runt but I'll try to have at least some weed from this one also 💪

Algae is an asshole. Thought things were going really well... and then found a bit of algae in the rockwool.... No biggie I figure. Wrong. Left it one night, and today (Sunday) open the jar to find algae in all the roots. Not cool. Well, I needed to swap the nutrients anyway, and was going to do a major bonsai pruning... so why not also wash everything, plant included, in mild hydrogen peroxide solution? Sure, THAT's fun. Made the decision to swap Hydroguard for H2O2 as well, since the water is room temp (21-22 C) and the H2O2 supposedly helps prevent algae.... and keeps away root rot even in higher solution temperatures. Oh, and H2O2 is also seemingly a buffer... making getting the pH right in that small jar strange - needed WAY more pH down than without the hydrogen peroxide. Fingers crossed that the major life disturbances will help manage the algae and not just put the nails in the coffin.

the cycle has come to an end, the plants have been harvested and are being cured. the mother yielded 421 grams of dry flowers the clones yielded 303 grams of dry flowers. the variety changed its smell during curing, it became even more pleasant, the smell of garlic is not felt, fruit spices, very complex. the variety is generally very strong, not suitable for beginners and for daily smoking. I am very glad that such a rich harvest came out.

Too much N is observed and also some heat as there is an heatwave again and inside the tent it was around 31 c°, i only used half dosis of iguana grow in a light mix and it still seems to be too much, the ppm was around 380 so not sure if its just heat stress, but i think they will be fine, i will just only give water the next week and apply some slow absorbing nutrients on the top of the soil, something like guanokalong or biobloom, im sure they will be fine 😁

Hello, my amazing green-thumbed friends! Welcome to the Week 1 flower report for our beloved P.C.R.s. The transition from veg to flower is a magical time, and our plants are already showing signs of their future glory. Let’s dive into the exciting details of this week! Entering the Flower Stage Our P.C.R.s have officially entered the flowering stage, and the transformation is already visible. The stretch has begun, and you can see the plants reaching up, preparing to produce those beautiful buds we’re all waiting for. This stage is all about supporting their growth and ensuring they have everything they need to thrive. NutriSpray Magic This week, we’ve been diligently spraying Aptus Holland NutriSpray, and the results are phenomenal. NutriSpray is like a spa treatment for our plants, providing essential micronutrients directly to the leaves. It helps with nutrient uptake, reduces stress, and boosts overall plant health. Our P.C.R.s are absolutely loving it, standing tall and proud with their leaves praying to the light. Nutrient Transition With the start of the flowering stage, we’ve made some important adjustments to our nutrient regimen. We’ve stopped using StartBooster and replaced it with TopBooster, which promotes flowering and bud formation. Additionally, we’ve introduced P-Boost, a phosphorus booster that enhances root development and flower production. TopBooster: Encourages larger and more abundant flowers. P-Boost: Provides essential phosphorus for robust root and flower development. NutriSpray: Continues to support overall plant health and stress reduction. Optimal Conditions Maintaining the perfect environment is crucial as we move into the flowering stage. Our TDS is now at 360, with a pH of 5.9 and a temperature of 21°C for watering. These conditions are optimal for nutrient uptake and overall plant health, ensuring our P.C.R.s have everything they need to produce those beautiful, resinous buds. Care and Attention Paying close attention to our plants during this stage is key. Regularly inspecting for any signs of stress or nutrient deficiencies and adjusting care as needed ensures our plants stay happy and healthy. The love and care we put into this process are reflected in the vibrant health of our plants. In Conclusion Week 1 of flowering has been all about setting the stage for a bountiful harvest. With the help of Aptus Holland NutriSpray, TopBooster, and P-Boost, along with our careful attention, our P.C.R.s are off to a fantastic start. The excitement is building, and I can’t wait to see how they develop in the coming weeks. Shout Outs A huge shout out to @aptusholland, our main sponsor, for their incredible products that keep our plants thriving. Another big thank you to @artgenetix for creating the phenomenal P.C.R. strain. And to the wonderful community at Grow Diaries and all our followers, your support and enthusiasm keep us going. Let's continue to grow together! Until next time, happy growing, and may your gardens be full with love and green!
