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.

Sour wiz came out amazing. Not many problems during her grow. Each pheno came out really different but that’s from my doing. I trained each plant differently to see what the difference would be. Responds really well to stress and training. I can’t tell you in words how great the flowers are. They’re literally coated in trichomes and smell and taste so damn good. Fruity sweet gasoline. Enjoy and thanks everyone who looks and follows.0

Hola así vamos terminando la tercera semana de floración de este seguimiento de clones y semillas , las encuentro bastante rápida para la formación de flores y pegaron un estirón bastante bueno , tengo una Sugar Black Rose ( la más alta del fondo izquierdo ) que se espigo más que todas le he realizado 2 cropping pero sigue de todas formas levantándose hacia la luz .- La producción de tricomas es bastante buenas y los olores son muy agradables . . . . Hello, so we are finishing the third week of flowering of this clone and seed monitoring, I find them quite fast for the formation of flowers and they hit a pretty good stretch, I have a Sugar Black Rose (the highest one on the left bottom) that spikes more I've all done 2 cropping but still getting up towards the light. The production of trichomes is quite good and the smells are very pleasant.

Nothing much to report, some tight buds are starting to form Week 4 day 4, the buds are definitely starting to take shape, and the trichomes are forming on the sugar leaves, pistils are still mostly light colored. I cant wait to watch these buds chunk up over the next few weeks.

Elegance in Bloom 🔥🍪🌸 My second Red Hot Cookies has officially entered Week 2 of bloom, and she’s already proving to be a real gem on the balcony. Compared to her taller sister, she may have started more compact and controlled, but now she’s stretching gracefully, stacking sites, and presenting all the traits I love about this strain. Her structure is even and balanced, and her leaves carry that deep, lush green that signals health and vitality. 🌿 She took well to her training earlier on, and now in flower she’s rewarding that work with a broad, light-friendly canopy. The pistils are starting to push through in abundance, promising a fine display of frosty bud sites in the weeks ahead. Watching her transition into full bloom is a joy—there’s something magical about this stage where the energy shifts from pure growth into pure production. ✨ Feeding & Environment Notes for the Week: 🔸 BioBizz Grow – 3 ml/L 🔸 BioBizz Bloom – 2 ml/L 🔸 BioBizz TopMax – 1 ml/L 🔸 CalMag – 0.5 ml/L steady to support strong cell walls 🔸 Dechlorinated tap water for all mixes 🔸 pH: 6.1 🔸 EC: 1.8 mS/cm So far, she’s responded beautifully to the transition. No signs of stress, no hesitation—just steady upward growth and early bud development. If she continues at this pace, I expect her to become a dense, bushy producer, with multiple tops forming into thick colas. 🌸🍃 This strain never fails to impress me, and I’m especially excited to see how Red Hot Cookies #2 will shine in comparison to her sister. Each one brings its own personality, and that’s part of the charm. With bloom fully underway, the stage is set for her to show what she’s truly capable of. 🔥 Here’s to strong pistils, chunky bud sites, and the unmistakable sweet-spicy aroma that’s soon to follow.

These ladies did'nt stretched much so far in week 2 but that could be due to the light intensity and distance I had it at in week 1 of the stretch period. This strain is really starting to show signs of that Gassy, Sweet, Creamy smelly that I was looking for and so far these ladies have been a breeze to grow.

Week 11: So by now the plant has stopped or at least slowed down drastically on the stretching. It’s stacking up on the buds and some of them fattening up amazingly. Trichomes are generally milky white but still have some clear ones so going to wait a bit more than probably start flushing next week, but obviously depending on the coming days and how it develops.

They are looking real good. I think I may have gotten some nutrients on one plants leaves and it caused some yellowing and leaf curl, I’m hoping it straightens out.

Day 73, 25th of November 2020: Hello! Here we goet'd say half way 4th week just started.... I miss the red or purple colour but still can appear later I hope it will. All good not much to say she is getting old lol and fruits are coming haha. Fertilization is still the same every second day with the ratio and mixture above stated. The lamp is on 11.15 min and off 12.45 min. Last week was 15 min longer light cycle.... So every week 15 min shorter light cycle until the 5th week. So far -45 min. It switches on at 6 am and off at 17.15 pm.
