Hey Grow Diaries fam, Welcome back to another update on our PCR adventure! We're at Week 9, which marks Week 4 of the flowering stage, and things are getting exciting! Overview The PCRs are flourishing, and the transformation is nothing short of spectacular. The tent is buzzing with energy, and every day brings new developments. The buds are swelling beautifully, and the trichome production is off the charts. This week has been all about maintaining optimal conditions and ensuring our ladies get everything they need to reach their full potential. Environment and Conditions Tent: 3x3, cleaned and prepped from top to bottom to ensure a pristine environment. Lighting: ViparSpectra P2000, delivering a perfect spectrum for this stage of growth. The balanced PAR output and efficient energy use keep our girls happy and thriving. Watering: TDS at 410, pH 5.8, and water temperature at 21°C. This ensures the nutrients are perfectly balanced and readily available. Nutrient Regimen We’ve kept up with our Aptus Holland feeding schedule, and it's paying off big time. Here's the current mix: Nutritional Spray: Aptus Holland NutriSpray to keep those leaves lush and healthy. TopBooster: Replaced StartBooster with TopBooster to promote flower development. P-Boost: Added to the mix for that extra phosphorus kick, crucial for blooming. K-Boost: a must for them to go fat as we like. The results speak for themselves – lush green foliage and robust bud formation. Defoliation At the end of this week, we performed a mass defoliation. It's always a bit nerve-wracking, but the results are worth it. Removing excess leaves ensures better light penetration and airflow, reducing the risk of mold and pests. Plus, it allows the plant to focus its energy on bud production. And let me tell you, after the defoliation, the PCRs look sexy as ever with their long legs and sculpted structure! Clones Update Our clones are thriving, showing the longest and whitest roots I've ever seen. We treated them with a water mix that included K-Boost and Mycor Mix at 1 gram per liter. This combination has worked wonders, promoting vigorous root development and overall plant health. Reflections This week has been a testament to the importance of a clean environment and precise nutrient management. The PCRs are responding exceptionally well, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with their progress. We're well on our way to an incredible harvest, and I can't wait to see these beauties in full bloom. A huge shout out to: Aptus Holland: For the top-notch nutrients and constant support. You guys rock! Art Genetix: For creating such an incredible strain. The PCRs are truly something special. Grow Diaries Community: Your support and feedback are invaluable. Keep the positive vibes coming! Here’s to another fantastic week of growing! Stay positive, keep pushing forward, and enjoy every moment of this beautiful journey.

Beautiful flower full of trichomes. Smell and test fantastic. Very fast flowering. She was done on day 49 but I cut her down few days later. I love the strain, the only thing that I will like this strain to have is a better yield. Beast quality buds I ever grew.

Week 2 of flower, she seems to be stretching pretty quickly. Trichomes are starting to appear on the leafs. Been watering every other day for now. I bought a brita jug(large capacity) so I dont have to evaporate water every day, the filter just gets the chlorine out right from the tap. Also works nicely because it has a faucet, and I can put my watering can right under it, and fill it up without any spillage. More photos to come as the week progresses.

She´s smelling beautifully this week. Its pungent odor is getting stronger and buds are really starting to get covered by trichomes. Sticky af Day 73 - Feeding today. Will increase Atazyme by 1ml/L and gradually increase big bud up to 2ml/L (Today i fed 1,5ml/L Big Bud). Also will gradually increase Top-Max up to 4ml/L.(today i fed 1,5ml/L) Day 76 - Has been very hot these days. Today i arrived and soil was completely dry, but the plant was ok. She´s starting to show beautiful colors, lets see how this pheno flowers. :) I fed her today and just increased Top-Max from 1,5ml/L to 2. Day 77 - She is getting really colorfull and beautiful. Buds are growing great, i dont see any complaints from her. I am removing dying leafs to help light reach every bud. Has been very hot these days, at night aswell (≈22ºC).

Time lapse 23rd June > Aug 21st 2020. Plenty of screwups - over/under watering+ feeding + pollenated the tent with one hermie, two plants throwing nannas (due to UV) out in the last two weeks and the major heatwave all did not help, This was totally my screw up and for that I still give this strain a solid 8/10. The tastes are nice although my first try of Runtz was in Cali and it is certainly another level over there. Unfortunately I did not get a pheno similar to that I smoked in the US but out of the 5 I did get I really enjoyed one of them which is hard hitting! Apologies for the time-lapse as its not always spot on and often other things took over. Stuff never goes the way you plan it in your head. Upon drying the temps were good and they dried okay. The reason why this is a write off is because one of the plants hermied and caused most of the plants to be pollenated. When I harvested I noticed a few nannas poking out so I'm not sure if I let them run too long, too much stress, underwatering, light intensity, the UV bar or heat stress. Anyways I didn't catch it and I have some well developed seeds. I think it's down to the UV bar causing the nannas but the seeds were ripe (tiger stipe brown) so didn't have enough time to grow and ripen. Seeing as I had deficiencies early on in flower - WK4 - I think it happened then. The PP and runtz all have seeds bar one plant (the nice gassy pheno) and the tent was cleaned with bleach, vacuumed and temps increased to over 100f with a heater after disinfecting. Nevertheless I will grow this again! it's all a learning curve! More bud shots to come when cured. Just over an 1oz per plant is pretty poor imo but again you live and learn from your screw up! Got to be on point with my watering next time! That's why I love hydro!

5/13/22 - 5/20/22 5/14/22 Today my Poison Zkittlez got her Zamaldaberry room mate to move out so that she would have more space. She is trying to fill this 4x4. I did some defoliation and leaf tucking today to help open up those inner branches. 5/16/22 Today my girl got some defoliation and her resivore topped off at 3 gallons needed after 3 days. She is doing great and her flowers are getting beautiful 😍 5/20/22 Today marks the last day of week 3 of flower for my Poison Zkittlez. Topped off her resivore 3 gal. Did some minor defoliation of some inner leaves.

Bueno , este es el segundo cultivo que realizó del la cepa "Waka" , el anterior lo tengo igualmente documentado en otro diario . en esta ocasión cultivamos los clones que habíamos recolectado del cultivo pasado , guardando los fenotipos que nos gustaron más y los clones restantes los pasamos a floración que fueron los que se le hizo seguimiento en este diario. El crecimiento fue bastante explosivo y reaccionaron muy bien a cada trasplante realizado . pude observar que los clones de cada fenotipo seleccionado se desarrolló con mucha similitud al de sus madres . El olor en vegetación es bastante discreto y en floración se pone un más intenso El desarrollo en floración fue explosivo generando bastante resina y se vieron muy hambientras . Al fumar se puede sentir un rico toque cítrico en las N° 4 se siente un fuerte sabor a limón en algunas flores mucho mas marcado que en otras, N° 3 y 13 un agradable toque a naranjas muy rico de sentir en el paladar , La N° 8 con pizcas dulces bastante interesantes. El humo al fumar es muy suave lo que permite sentir mejor el sabor de cada fenotipo.- saludos y buenos humos😉 Al momento de cosechar se cortaron los clone y se dejo secando en oscuridad a temperatura ambiente por cerca de 16 días posterior a eso se pasó a curar en frascos

Vamos familia cuarta semana de vida de estás Punch Pie de RoyalQueenSeeds . Que ganas tengo de ver el progreso de esta variedad, las plantulas están sanas, se ven con buen color. La cantidad de agua cada 48h entre riegos. Esta primera semana ya añadimos nutrientes de la gama Agrobeta. Tuve problemas de trips en un indoor y tengo todas plagadas pero ya las e tratado con aceite de neem y un insecticida genérico, también añadí tiras de color azul para controlarla, trataré esta semana y la siguiente.(esta semana me llegará el aceite de neem y el jabón potásico) Trasplanté directamente a macetas de 7 litros. Estas próximas semanas veremos cómo avanzan. Mars hydro: Code discount: EL420 https://www.mars-hydro.com/ Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨.

Que pasa familia, volvemos el viernes con las power plant xL del banco Zambezaseeds, la verdad que estoy sorprendido con el Aroma que desprenden estos ejemplares, es muy dulce y fuerte. Han crecido bastante a diferencia del resto, sacaron brazos largos y llenos de flores. Conseguimos bajar la humedad y eso se agradece por la etapa que afrontamos de floración. Estás tú ultimas semana sin añadiremos PK en polvo. Hemos tutorado las power plant xL debido a la altura y el peso de la flor en si, ahorramos problemas futuros estás semanas y las centramos al engorde.

This week marks the end of Week 10, and Do-Si-Dos Auto is deep into her final ripening phase. Trichomes have shifted to mostly cloudy with a few ambers starting to show, signaling the early harvest window. Her fade is well underway with noticeable yellowing and some purpling on the fan leaves and bracts — all expected at this stage. She experienced one dryback early in the week that caused temporary leaf droop, but she perked back up quickly after a good watering. Temperatures peaked at 86°F with humidity holding around 45%, keeping the environment within range. Buds are dense, frosty, and continuing to swell. On the final night of Week 10, she was watered with Cal-Mag (1 ml/gal) and the auto-watering base was refilled. Harvest is likely coming within the next week depending on trichome development.

Hi Guys. Here we are starting week two, the news is: - My 60x60x140 Senua tent, 3gl pots, VIPAR P1000 Light, and the fan have arrived. So, two of the little ones I put in the new pots, the other one I will try to grow as a Bonsai, the bonsai pot will arrive in two days, so I am really excited to start the bonsai project, I am thinking about creating a Diary for that. :-) The biggest one (in the photo) is showing some yellow parts in the leaves, is that an issue? Another question, I used the Nutrients as the information on the label, is that too much? Thanks guys, I will appreciate any help :-)

Today marks a significant milestone in the journey of my cannabis plants as I have successfully set up the irrigation system. This new development will ensure an efficient and consistent supply of water for the plants, fostering a conducive environment for their growth. Up until now, I've been diligently top feeding the plants since their germination, laying a solid foundation for their root system. As a result, I anticipate that the plants will be well-equipped to adapt to this change and will continue to flourish. The plants have been thriving spectacularly and have demonstrated a clear preference for being dispersed over a larger surface area. I attribute this positive response to the method of main lining, a technique that has proven to be one of the most straightforward and effective approaches I've tried. The anticipation of seeing the final canopy and colas is immense, and I am eager to see how this technique will enhance the overall yield of my cannabis plants.

I harvested three from the first run and I’ll upload photos of those colas when I harvest this second run. She’s starting to fill up and finally the colors I’ve read about in her are coming out!
