1/14: Fed today. The weird little Lava Cake is finished stretching I guess...she's starting to stack up. The big one is fattening nicely. That plant is gonna weigh heavy. The bigger Slurricane is also gonna be a good producer. She's thick all the way down. The skinnier one will have a kickass cola, but has less lower branching. The Borderliners smell amazing...kindof a peppery piney mint fragrance. 1/18: Fed today and rearranged. Increased UVB exposure by another 30 mins per day 1/21: Fed today.

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. Letโ€™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 weโ€™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, weโ€™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, weโ€™ve made some important adjustments to our nutrient regimen. Weโ€™ve stopped using StartBooster and replaced it with TopBooster, which promotes flowering and bud formation. Additionally, weโ€™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 21ยฐC 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 canโ€™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.

My good friend convinced me that trimming and training are paramount, so I've started with slowly defoliating the Creme de la Chems to try and get to lollipop status. They're just starting to flower, so I figured I could get away with a more aggressive approach. Because I failed to train these girls early, I'm stuck dealing with a little rain forest. What I've tried to do is trace each flower topped stalk up from the base, and trim away from the bottom up. 1/3 of the way up per day. I've now got a thick canopy, and I've been trying to just use leaf tucking and manual manipulation every few hours in order to keep the different height flowering sites in direct light. These ladies have really been thriving, and it's been such a joy to watch them grow! I like having two plants in one net pot letting them grow wild, but I think in my next grow I'll keep it to one per pot and train better from the start. As for the Super Orange Haze ... not as good. I attempted to pull the main branch over to train her to some empty space, but I was too aggressive and ended up popping her head off :(. First grow, first disaster. I took the head and stripped her/coated in clonex and pushed her into some potting soil just to see what would happen. There hasn't been enough foliage to really make me want to do any trimming, I've just tried to tie the stalks off to train them apart. I'm really sad about my mistake decapitation, but she seems to be doing well still. She's probably week 2 of flower based on others' journals. I changed the water midway through the week (which is when the videos were taken). I drained most of the water out, but roots prevented me from getting the last few gallons. When I refilled the res with RO, I measured the PPM at around 200. I have to assume that remaining nutrient was completely unbalanced leftovers, so feeding will have to just have to be experimental. My approach has been to give around 1:1 Gro vs Bloom and Micro every 2-3 days when I refill with RO. I want to build my PPM up to 1000, but slowly so that I can detect if I hit a ceiling first. It's hard to measure how much food is in the water based on PPM. CalMag is what drives it mostly, so I've been using CalMag as a sort of measuring stick. I keep the CalMag pegged to the Bloom food, but I know it's only good for initial dosing. I can't assume the plants are eating CalMag in the same proportion as anything else :(. If anyone has a line on cheap lab testing ... hit me up. I'd love to be able to test a few hundred samples at a time for NPK and trace so that I can tell (even if post facto) what was going on.

Week 8 flower, watering until the end. No more top dressing or fish shit. Just the same de chlorinated tap water, not phโ€™d or filtered that Iโ€™ve been using since the beginning. Comes out the tap with a ph of 7 and less than 15ppm tds. The soil takes care of everything.

๐Ÿ‹๐ŸŠ Lemon Orange #1 - #4 ๐ŸŠ๐Ÿ‹ First time diving into the Lemon Orange grow, and the excitement is real! ๐Ÿ™Œ As a huge fan of Green House Seed Company, choosing this strain for the first cultivation is a dream come true. Strain Information: Lemon Orange (Super Lemon Haze x Clementine) Genetics: Super Lemon Haze x Clementine Type: 70% Sativa - 30% Indica THC: 29.50% | CBD: 0.20% | CBN: 0.36% Effects: Balanced euphoria with a sweet head buzz, courtesy of citrusy terpenes and an earthy background. Flowering (Indoor): 9 weeks, High Yield Harvest (Outdoor): 4th Week of September, 170 - 200 cm height, 800g/plant yield Awards: 2nd Place Homegrown CUP 2021 Super thrilled with the progress so farโ€”this Lemon Orange plant is growing like crazy with no issues. Germination & Veg Timeline: ๐ŸŠ Day 1: Seeds hit the scene, into cotton pads for that cozy germination kickoff. ๐ŸŠ Day 3: Transferred to small rockwool cubes, enjoying a splash of RO water at a perfect pH 5.5. ๐ŸŠ Day 6: Celebration time! Started feeding nutrients by Terra Aquatica with the first true leaves emerging. Used 80% of the recommended dose. Noticed a hint of calcium deficiency, so switched to dechlorinated tap water. ๐ŸŠ Day 9: Upped the game, into large rockwool cubes (15x15 cm). The roots are spreading their wings. ๐ŸŠ Day 12: Nutrient dance continues. Adjusted the ratio to the Growing phase, still giving 80% of the recommended amount. pH is grooving at 5.8. ๐ŸŠ Day 24: It's topping day! Right between the 4th and 5th nodes, shaping the plant for greatness. ๐ŸŠ Day 27: Time for a scrog net to guide those branches into a harmonious canopy. And now, the grand finale of veg ๐ŸŠ Day 36: Last day of veg. The Lemon Orange #1 - #4 has been a joy to nurture. Ready to witness the flowering stage unfold. ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’š

When talking about strains of recent times but already legendary and ready to enter the history of Cannabis, Permanent Marker is a name that cannot be missed. It is very famous and many have produced it, we will show you that it is worth growing the one produced by Zamnesia. In reality, the beautiful seed pack alone would be worth the purchase but we do not stop at appearances and we will show you that that artistic marvel corresponds to a marvel of nature. Remember that we are growing a plant worked with the techniques indicated and another left to grow without pruning to preserve its speed; in the previous/next diary you will find the other plant of the same variety. In this diary we find worked with the Main lining. Being a plant with medium-low internodal distance it was not very easy to work with but especially in the second phase of the main lining (when these plants become a little bigger and you can work better) I am having a lot of fun. The plant is looking very good, I have done a lot of topping and I am sure that now that it is going into flowering we will see some beautiful things. Slow down the use of nitrogen during this technique, you may not need everything that is recommended by the manufacturers. So, if the leaves become too dark or, worse, the tips of the leaves arch downwards and the leaf becomes "crunchy", it is time to lighten or stop the basic fertilizer. Comparison is the salt of experience, so the plant in the other diary will be treated very differently, go and see it to compare. We have started the Plagron fertilization program, we are in 100% organic configuration, the soil is recycled Promix + 1/3 fresh soil + 10% Perlite + RQS Mycorrhizae Mix (4 g in the mix, 1 g under the small fiber pot). We fertilize with: 1 ml/l Power Roots - 1 ml/l Pure Zym - 1 ml/l Sugar Royal - 3 ml/l Alga Grow We sprayed 3 ml/l Vita Race foliar fertilizer once a week. https://plagron.com/it We always have the excellent mycorrhizae from RQS flowing in the soil. https://www.zamnesia.io/it/5778-mix-micorrize-easy-roots.html Try this variety, it is a top strain of recent years very high level of thc ---- // https://www.zamnesia.io/it/12508-zamnesia-seeds-permanent-marker.html Brief description of Zamnesia // Here is a good opportunity to enrich your genetic library with another award-winning variety: Permanent Marker was crowned Strain of the Year 2023 by Leafly, thanks to its intense aromas, high levels of THC and its physical vivacity. Originally created by JBeezy and Seed Junky Genetics, our team managed to secure a cutting of this modern top cultivar, so you can grow it comfortably at home, whether indoors, outdoors or in a greenhouse. Permanent Marker fits perfectly in any environment! The whole world of growing and more is at Zamnesia: just take a look at the site and you will find "all the best that nature has to offer" in various shapes and colors. -- // www.zamnesia.com

This week I allowed Ms Tropi so she could peacefully do her stretching I can say with confidence she wonโ€™t really be a big one. She smells like a small lemon, orange, and pineapple tree hence the name Tropicana I guess ๐Ÿ˜ What Iโ€™m mostly impressed with so far is her speed and resilience. With the right conditions and feed schedule she seems to run for flowering which could be ideal if in need of a quick run. ๐Ÿ“ Onto the finishing weeks! On y vas ๐Ÿพโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ’จ

Alrighty growmies ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป so Iโ€™ve had a bit of a week set back due to issues, but back on track, the heat wave has definitely given a few girls a bit of a hard time not being able to attend but none the less, lifted the light again, trying to get on top of this PH fluctuating Iโ€™m having again using these stupid PH drops as my PH pen also keep jumping. Besides that Iโ€™ve managed to make a new home for the clones and got them under a couple UFO LEDs so that will house them for a few more weeks and al bring out the 600w HPS for them, but these runtz since being repotted have not taking nicely to it at all even using dynomyco so again hopefully by Friday they should be past that stage if not on flowering either way going to be a bomb scare when these taller plants start to stretch might have to bring out the net for sure ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿค™๐Ÿป if all goes wrong at least I have my clones for back ups, keep eyes open for the incoming fire thou ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Jack Herer Auto is coming along nicely. She is starting to bulk now. She is due for a solution change, which might help with the bulking. I will likely do that tomorrow when I have more time. She is growing good for only a 100 watt cold air grow. I been selective defoliating, and I cleaned a little more of the little stuff from underside out. Everything is looking pretty good. Thank you Spider farmer, Athen, and IGM. ๐Ÿคœ๐Ÿป๐Ÿค›๐Ÿป๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ Thank you grow diaries community for the ๐Ÿ‘‡likes๐Ÿ‘‡, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel๐Ÿ‘‡. โ„๏ธ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿป Happy Growing ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

So Friday will be day 70. I messed up a lot, did lst and used big pots so I'm thinking these might go 3-5 more weeks. They smelled so amazing a few times today though. First the purple punch, then the sour diesel, then the girl scout cookies, each gave off aromas one after the other a few times today. The purple punch smalls so sweet and delicious.

Started flush now. I'm adding Nature Delight Active Sugar Boost as it's been recommended to boost terpene production. No idea if it will work this late into flower but trying anyway as apparently it has no need to be flushed and is fully organic.

So this week after I gave it under nutrients I apparently gave it too much nitrogen while having a potassium deficiency. Shiney dark leaves, So i fixed that, but some didn't bounce back, and I tried nitrogen. I think they are doing pretty good considering everything I've put them through SO FAR. lol. Nutrients are NPK Raw's total lineup, follow their instructions at first, Fastbuds adjustments as of this week.

31.05 yesterday was the end of the fifth week for the plants, some were transplanted yesterday, some today, and some not yet, but most of them were transplanted and topped for the first time... I was late with the topping because I didn't want to top before transplanting.. I topped most of the plants between the sixth and seventh nodes instead of between the fifth and sixth, some I even topped between the seventh and the eighth, but what's up... the weather normalized for a day and immediately started with severe heat... in the sun now it will be 40+ degrees C, until the other day it was 15, this is definitely not normal...the pictures and video are from yesterday, in the next update I will post pictures from the site Stay high โ€˜nโ€™ keep growing!!!
