Growbuster Hi,
This will be less of a diary and more of a recap. I've always wanted to write Growdiaries, but I just couldn't find the time, and I didn't want to start something I couldn't finish. I've always taken photos, sometimes more, sometimes less, but at least I want to share these with you now. I'll write down whatever else comes to mind.
So, let's start with the RQS Critical Free Seeds Grow. This is going to be my first SCROG.
In the photo, there are other strains as well. More on that later in other recaps. The substrate was carefully inoculated with Rhizotonic, Carboload, and a bit of Bud Candy. That's my standard for a good start.

Growbuster 8 days later.
The ladies are growing pretty well. I'm satisfied.
I only specify the amount of nutrients for those fertilizers where I give standard amounts at this time, as these usually don't change.
Unfortunately, I can't provide details for the others, as the amount varies with each watering.
Additionally, I've now added the base nutrients;
- Advanced Nutrients Jungle Juice Micro
- AN Jungle Juice Grow
- AN Jungle Juice Bloom
To calculate the optimal amounts, I use the app eacygrow. I can only recommend it to everyone. It was a game changer for me.
There are still a few other strains included.
On to the next week.

Growbuster New pots for the ladies.
As you can see, I've repotted into 6L fabric pots. These will be the final pots.
The ladies seem to need a bit more nutrients, it looks like.
In addition to the nutrients mentioned above, I will continue to add:
- AN Jungle Juice Micro, Grow, Bloom
- possibly Canna Mono Cal and Mag
Everything recalculated and mixed with eacygrow.
It's crazy how they look 4 days after repotting.
In most of the photos, the other strains are also present. They were moved elsewhere at the end of the week.

Growbuster The net is stretched.
I’ve decided that the ladies are ready, and it’s time to stretch the scrog net.
The ladies are growing ultra-fast, looking super healthy, and the first "scrogging" has begun.
Nutrients
Since we are still in the growth phase, not much is changing. In addition to the above, we have:
- AN Jungle Juice Micro, Grow, Bloom
- possibly Canna Mono Cal and Mag
Again, everything calculated and mixed with eacygrow.
The automatic watering system is installed, which takes a lot of work off my hands with the small pots.
I remember that back then I was still catching the drain from each individual plant. That made everything complicated.
I don’t mix 4 different nutrient solutions every time. Luckily, I got the first update from eacygrow just in time, which allowed me to group the plants to calculate group values. Easy :-)

Growbuster Yeah nice.
So the Critical is growing like a weed. Truly.
eacygrow helps keep the nutrients in the optimal range and the automatic watering saves me a lot of time.
That's a good thing, because I've already had enough to do with tying down and defoliating.
Although I think I haven't defoliated that much yet. But that will come.
Nutrients mentioned above:
- AN Jungle Juice Micro, Grow, Bloom
- maybe Canna Mono Cal and Mag
Again, everything calculated and mixed with eacygrow.
Looking at the photos, I guess I've sent them into flowering.

Yeah, it looks like we're in stretch. Oh yeah, I can remember defoliating 😤 Wow, it was a pain to get to the plants.
I can't take them out individually anymore. Something I hadn't considered. You can really start to sweat.
So, I've been diligently defoliating and tying them down further. It's now a nice carpet 😍
I discovered the emojis 😁
Nutrients might have changed now, as I'm giving the following in addition to the ones mentioned above:
- AN Jungle Juice Micro, Grow, Bloom
- maybe Canna Mono Cal and Mag
- possibly a slight addition of AN Big Bud, so the right nutrients are available for the start of flowering.
Calculated everything again and mixed with eacygrow.

Growbuster Finally arrived.
Yes, we are here. In the flowering stage. No more stretch.
I heavily defoliated and had to remove some shoots. It was just too much.
No space between the buds and humidity. Not a good combo.
But that's how it should go.
The nutrients mentioned above have changed a bit, as not as much is needed for the roots anymore.
Additionally, we have:
- AN Jungle Juice Micro, Grow, Bloom
- Canna Mono Cal and Mag
- AN Big Bud

Really nice how they're growing. Seems to be a very stable strain. But I'll get back to that later.
I probably took away some leaves. I remember that the humidity was a bit too high and I didn't want to take any risks with my first SCROG.
In addition to the fertilizers mentioned above, I also added:
- AN Jungle Juice Micro, Grow, Bloom
- Canna Mono Cal and Mag
- AN Big Bud

Otherwise, not much happened. The app and the automatic watering did their job very well.
We're a really good team 💪😄

In the meantime, I see 3 different phenos. I'll keep an eye on that. The one in the back right seems to need more time and is a bit behind. But it's a fat one.

Growbuster It's getting more colorful.
I don't think there's much else to say.
Nutrients are changing slightly now. Switching from AN Big Bud to AN Overdrive.
Also, I'm leaving out Rhizotonic and Carboload in the last 2 weeks.
This means, in addition to the nutrients mentioned above, I'm adding:
- AN Jungle Juice Micro, Grow, Bloom
- Canna Mono Cal and Mag
- AN Overdrive
- AN Tasty Terpenes
- AN Bud Factor X
Everything has been recalculated and mixed with eacygrow.
It's getting exciting slowly, but what about the one in the back right? I haven't checked it yet.

Growbuster The End.
Each pheno has taken on its own colors. From now on, no more nutrients will be given.
The ladies will now only receive osmosis water with AN Flawless Finish in the first two watering sessions and then just pure water.
They have developed splendidly. I am very satisfied with my first SCROG, but I will never do it again 😂
You are just too immobile with the plants. Just defoliating is very tedious.
But all in all, everything went very well.
The biggest thanks goes to the app eacygrow, with which I was always able to calculate all values optimally, and of course to my automatic drip irrigation, which took a lot of work off my hands. Thank you, without both of you I wouldn't have managed it like this 😘😊

Growbuster Just 2 short clips of this grow i did for Instagram.
Growbuster The one in the back right.
There was something else. Something I didn't check right away. The lady in the back right turned hermaphrodite (hope I spelled that right), but only self-pollinated. I didn't notice any male traits. She didn't catch the other 3.
I let the seeds mature and harvested those as well. But I don't know if or to what extent I'll use them.
That's it.
Thanks for reading. More recaps will come in the future.
If you liked it, leave a follow.
