Week 3: Adapting and Thriving Transplanting to Larger Pots This week, I transplanted the plants into 11-liter fabric pots filled with Plagron coco coir mixed with perlite (70/30). The small pots were already root-bound. It's often said that a plant will stop growing when the taproot reaches the bottom of the pot. Personally, I think this is nonsense, but we'll see. This transplant provides them with more space for root development and better aeration, promoting healthier growth. Growth Observations The plants are showing significant growth, with vibrant green leaves and sturdy stems. The increased light exposure from the greenhouse setup is clearly benefiting them. Their resilience is impressive, and they appear to be adapting well to their environment. Feeding and Watering As the coco mix dries out, I am preparing for their next feeding. Following the Terra Aquatica Tripart feeding chart, I have increased the nutrient solution to an EC of 1.0 mS/cm. This should provide them with the necessary nutrients without the risk of nutrient burn, especially for autoflowering strains. I will not go higher than this concentration to ensure their safety. Improved Weather Conditions The weather has improved significantly, with very little rain and temperatures ranging between 19°C and 22°C for the next few days. This stable weather is ideal for the plants, providing them with consistent conditions to continue their healthy growth. Daily Care Routine My daily routine includes checking the plants in the morning and evening, adjusting the greenhouse openings as needed, and monitoring the moisture level of the coco mix. This consistent care helps me stay on top of any changes and address them promptly. Looking Forward As we progress into the third week, I am excited to see how the plants continue to develop in their new, larger pots with the adjusted nutrient levels. The combination of a controlled environment, balanced nutrition, and diligent care is setting a strong foundation for their growth. Update on 11.06.2024 Today, I fed my plants for the second time this week. During this feeding, I adjusted the nutrient amount for the vegetative phase (2/3 of the recommended amount from Terra Aquatica): CalMag: 2 ml/l (Starting EC before adding nutrients: 0.45 mS/cm) Grow: 1.2 ml/l Bloom: 0.8 ml/l Micro: 0.4 ml/l EC: 1,166 ms/cm (536 ppm PPM-500/TDM) PH: 5,83 The plants were watered with approximately 20% drain. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue this journey.

Harvest on day 91 of cycle , day 54 of flowering.. I could leave it few days more for sure however my ladt harvest is nearly finishing so I need to dry this plant as soon as possible hehehe.. Purple punch has really frosty buds, it didn’t grow as much as I wish(I had to move the plant to the toilet with my burple light as there was no space for 3 plants in my 2x4 tent) but they are looking insanely good, with a strong flavor of grape, I am impressed with this smell/flavour, all covered in trichomes, I can’t wait to smoke it.. So my way to harvest it is I cut it down on the main branch and hang to dry out.. all the plant .. I prefer dry trim because it’s way easier to trim.. so now I am gonna hang it for 2/3 weeks and then start trimming.. I will update yield and tasty as soon as I finish trimming.. Overall I am happy with the results 🙌🏼.

Hello,,, fin de semaine 4 de floraison. Pour le moment tout semble ok. Les fleurs commencent leurs prises de masse. Les trichomes comment aussi leurs apparition. L’odeur se fait plus forte aussi. Je vais probablement attendre encore une semaine pour refaire une très légère défoliation et supprimer quelques suckers dans les parties basses de la plantes. Voilà pour cette semaine... Happy grow...😎

I will be focusing this diary on the smoothie strain but you’ll be seeing some other plants in the tent that are not the same strain. I only have room in this tent so bare with me. There are 2 Smoothie, 1 CNC, and 1 Stardawg (dog). The smoothie are the two bigger ones in the back of the tent. Now, the Smoothie from FastBuds is just killin it right now. Since I popped the beans they have done nothing but show signs of greatness. I don’t think this one is gonna slow down much either. I’m going to push these plants harder than my last harvest. I had a really really amazing harvest last time. I was even able to pull sap out of all 4 plants. 2 Zkittles and 2 LSD-25. This was all done by feeding at the right times and keeping a “moist” soil. Also I want add that I ran pretty much the entire line of Nectar for the Gods at a little less then the recommended ratios. This time I plan on going a tiny bit over the recommended ratios just to see what these plants will do. Trust me, if the plants have a bad response I will go back to the recommended ratios. The reason I want to do this is because I really think these auto strains can handle a lot more than a regular flowering cycle plant would. They can handle more stress, that’s for sure. When do you think I should add a compost tea into my regimen? Soon or wait till the plant is a little larger?

Greetings, green enthusiasts! Welcome to another exhilarating update on the growth journey of my P.C.R.s. Buckle up, because things are about to get exciting! I'm thrilled to report that our P.C.R. plants are thriving in their third week of veg like never before. Their vibrant green hues are a sight to behold, and I can't help but marvel at their progress. But the real magic happened when I transplanted them into their final pots—the roots were an absolute spectacle, white and luscious, like something out of a dream. Aptus Holland, you've outdone yourself once again! Speaking of Aptus Holland, let's talk about the secret sauce behind this green revolution: the Aptus Holland products. My love affair with Aptus Holland runs deep, and it's all thanks to their innovative and effective plant nutrition solutions. When it comes to nurturing my girls, nothing else comes close. Let's start with the star of the show—the Aptus All-in-One pellets. These little powerhouses are packed with essential nutrients, providing a balanced diet for my plants and ensuring they have everything they need to thrive. Combined with the Mycor Mix powder, they create the perfect symbiosis, enhancing root development and nutrient uptake to levels that even I couldn't imagine. But that's not all—I've also added a touch of Aptus substrate buffer powder to the mix, ensuring that my super soil recipe is dialed in for maximum performance. With this concoction, I'm confident that magic is bound to happen in the days to come. Of course, I can't forget to mention the Aptus Holland Veg Mix, which continues to be my go-to solution for watering. With each application, I'm providing my plants with a carefully balanced blend of nutrients, setting the stage for vigorous growth and robust health. Now, let's talk numbers. My TDS is currently hovering around 370, while the pH remains a stable 5.8. And with temperatures holding steady at 21 degrees, the conditions couldn't be more perfect for our green darlings to flourish. Before I sign off, I want to extend heartfelt gratitude to Aptus Holland for their unwavering support as my main sponsor. Your products are the backbone of this operation, and I couldn't do it without you. A special shoutout to Art Genetix for bringing the incredible P.C.R. creation into existence, and to Grow Diaries and the entire community for your endless inspiration and camaraderie.

The plants have reached a stage where they have enough foliage and growth on them to begin training and defoliation. I cut most of the side growth and major fan leaves off. Using safety pins and twine, I started their LST.

#PSICODELICIA®️ 12/12 DESDE SEMILLA Ha sido una excelente planta, se ve una excelente producción a pesar de las condiciones a las que sea enfrentado la planta. Parece que ya no seguirá engordando, ya que si lo hace lo mas probable es que se rompan sus ramas por el alto peso que tienen las flores. Hoy vi sus tricomas y se ven ya en su punto.

While I was away in Mallorca, enjoying the sun and smoking some Sativa Landrace, the girls were given a more simple feed to make things easier for my friend whilst he was taking care of the garden. The feedings came to around 700ppm (Including 150-190ppm tap water). As you can see in the video I've been bending her down for a couple of days instead of tying a string to her. It's just a lazy LST that should basically do the same thing. This girl has really impressed me with her growth and bushy structure. She's responded very well from topping and just wants to carry on. Every second feed from here on out will also contain Mammoth P for the first time in my garden! 🐺

Hola a todos, día 67 de floración y ya estoy disminuyendo gradualmente los nutrientes, al parecer la grabadora que instalé para los timelapse produjo un desorden de sueño en las plantas, comencé a notar desde la semana ante pasada ramas en estado vegetativo y espigamiento general, espero que esto no cause tanta merma en la producción, tape los diodos de la grabadora con aluminio aunque aún deja salir un pequeño haz de luz, de todos modos la última semana esas ramas empezaron a desarrollar flores así que asumo que el problema esta resuelto. Aún falta bastante trabajo, saludos!

22/05 Riego con agua pura antes de etapa de floración. Ph 6,5. Algunos signos de sobre fertilización, espero que baje con el riego actual. 26/05 Disculpas por las pocas actualizaciones, semana muy ocupada. Mantenemos riego con solo agua por etapa inicial de sobrefertilizacion en 3 plants. Despues de 2 dias de ultimo riego veo mejora, mañana foto de estado actual. PH 6.5. Aplicado nuevo LST.
