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.

6/9 she is 47 days old. Her leaves are dark green. The leaves around the dense buds are thin and frosty.
6/10 48 days old. She is spread some what we'll. There are a few lower buds I would have liked to remove. They're there now. She has fine leaves around the buds. So I think they will get enough light.
Maybe I should have tried to lay the branch over more. I did not fill the pot to the top with soil and with the settling. The plant is low in the pot, this makes it harder to tie the branches.
Next time I want to get the plant higher, so I am able to work better under the branches. Very hard to defoliate the plant.

The final Week, before harvest! She has some massive towering buds!
2.5 gallons of water is lasting this plant 5-6 days before drying out, and ready for more.. She was harvested instead of being watered!

Week four of flowering, and the plant is looking amazing! 🌱
Trichomes have really started to cover the buds, giving them a nice frosty appearance.
There’s a lot of resin building up, and it’s exciting to see so many trichomes at this stage. The plant itself is still in great shape, with healthy, vibrant leaves and no signs of stress. 🌿✨
I’ve adjusted to the BioBizz week 5 feeding schedule, and it seems to be working perfectly. The plant is responding well to the nutrients, and everything looks on track for a great harvest. 🌸
I’m getting more excited as the weeks go by! Can’t wait to see how the buds will continue to fill out and develop in the next few weeks. 😁🌼

Harvested 2 of 8 plants today. 90% or more trichomes were white with a few amber here or there. All pistils brown on the 2. 2 more plants should be ready within 2 days. The others are still a week out.

Woche 6 - Übergang zur Blütephase und erste Herausforderungen
Die sechste Woche markierte den Übergang von der Vegetations- in die Blütephase. Bis zum Wochenende wurde weiterhin der Terra Vega Dünger verwendet, mit einem Verhältnis von 30 ml pro 10 Liter Wasser. Am Samstag, dem ersten Tag der Blütephase, wurde jedoch deutlich, dass ein Wechsel auf den Blütedünger nötig war. Leider führte die verspätete Umstellung auf die Canna Terra Bloom Linie zu einem leichten Nährstoffmangel, der sich in den ersten Tagen der Blüte zeigte. Anfang der ersten vollen Blütewoche wurde dies korrigiert, indem vollständig auf Canna Bloom umgestellt wurde.
Die pH- und EC-Werte blieben stabil und optimal eingestellt. Die Temperaturen stiegen minimal an, blieben jedoch bei angenehmen 26 Grad. Mit Beginn der Blütephase startete der sogenannte Stretch, und die Pflanzen legten beeindruckende 2,5 cm pro Tag zu.
Während dieser Woche wurden die ersten unteren Blätter entfernt – ein leichtes Lollipopping, um die Energie auf die oberen Bereiche zu konzentrieren. Die entfernten Blätter wurden getrocknet und sogar laminiert, um den Fortschritt dieses besonderen Grows festzuhalten. Es wurden ebenfalls einige kleinere Zweige und Blätter im unteren Bereich entfernt, um die Belüftung zu verbessern. Das eigentliche, umfassendere Lollipopping wird jedoch erst in zwei bis drei Wochen erfolgen.
Trotz des anfänglichen Mangels aufgrund der zu späten Umstellung des Düngers blieben die Pflanzen insgesamt kräftig, gesund und wuchsen konstant weiter. Der Übergang in die Blütephase verlief somit erfolgreich, und die Pflanzen zeigten weiterhin ihr beeindruckendes Potenzial.
ENGLISH
Week 6 - Transition to Flowering and Initial Challenges
The sixth week marked the transition from the vegetative to the flowering phase. Until the weekend, the Terra Vega fertilizer was still used at a ratio of 30 ml per 10 liters of water. On Saturday, the first day of flowering, it became clear that switching to the flowering fertilizer was necessary. Unfortunately, the late transition to the Canna Terra Bloom line caused a slight nutrient deficiency that appeared in the first few days of flowering. This was corrected at the beginning of the first full flowering week by fully switching to Canna Bloom.
The pH and EC levels remained stable and optimally adjusted. Temperatures increased slightly but stayed at a comfortable 26 degrees. With the start of the flowering phase, the stretch began, with the plants growing an impressive 2.5 cm per day.
During this week, the first lower leaves were removed—a light lollipopping to focus the energy on the upper parts. The removed leaves were dried and even laminated to document the progress of this unique grow. Some smaller branches and leaves were also removed from the lower areas to improve ventilation. However, the main lollipopping will take place in about two to three weeks.
Despite the initial deficiency due to the late fertilizer switch, the plants remained overall strong, healthy, and continued to grow beautifully. The transition to the flowering phase was successful, and the plants continued to showcase their impressive potential.

Not much to do this week. Plants are doing great !
Since a few weeks the leaves have small spots. They are not insects, not spider mites. But I don't know what it is.
Started to add BioFinale PK 0.5ml/500ml water/24l pot

Today is day 82 and start of week 9 of flower. I‘m pretty sure Nr.2 is nearing the optimal harvest time. Unfortunately I will have to wait for the other two but I tink they are getting there. The frost on Nr. 2 is much more prominent but still I don‘t see any amber colored Trichomes on the buds. Only on the leaves. Next Week I hope they get the desired look. Still a little more developement to go but i‘m very happy with the plants so far.
I hope this diary doesn‘t get Boring but I‘m actually glad the plants develop in a slower pace since thats more desireble. The buds from Nr. 1 and 2 are very dense and hard like a Rock. I hope the wheight will represent that.
Sorry for the late update, have a nice rest of the Day 😌

These were supposed to be a more finicky plant by 34 street seeds, as reported by them and other home growers. However, I found it to be fairly normal, was definitely a feeder, and could have probably used some more, I just found it easier to have to mix one feed for both growing had growing. No issues with pests or PM, great yields, big large colas, despite only topping once, and snapping one of those tops of f two of the plants! Anywho, 10/10 would recommend for the $50 pack of seeds *Bonus* I had the three plants tested for THC and CBD at my local grow shop, they tested at 25%, 26% and 27% ❤️ I will also be submitting a sample for the 2023 Grow Cup ran by 34 Street Seeds, along with my other grow, Zkittlez x fpog also by 34 street seeds. Thanks for stopping by 🇨🇦👊❤️

The plants are looking really healthy, I've been defoliating here and there to get the light to penetrate to the lower leaves and branches. They have started to bush out from topping them last week. I started using Mammoth P Microbes halfway through last week. They seem to have grown a little quicker since adding them. The plants are still being fed 4 times a day at 1 minute each feeding. No signs yet of which is female and male, I am planning on pulling all the males once they show signs.

Nothing to crazy to report they are growing up well. have some pistils showing and I think it might be starting to enter flower soon.
Looked to be showing a bit of magnesium defencity so I gave them both some Epsom salts to supplement the Gaia Green and other fertilizers in the mix.
I always find gaia green needs a bit of a magnesium boost.

This is my diary entry into the Dynomyco Show Us What You Got Contest!

@Dynomyco
Big Shoutout to @Dynomyco for picking me in their contest. Happy to be involved and as a user of Dynomyco I am curious to see this side by side with my own eyes. I will be honest I am a little skeptical it will show any major differences. but we will see what happens. Some disclaimers, I am still using LABS serum I made, This is also beneficial to the root mass however it's a bacteria based product and not fungal or mycorrhizae like Dynomyco.

Hi, I started my first cultivation with this fabulous Gorilla Glue Auto variety. I transplanted the sprout in subtrate I prepared by using it:
70% BioBizz Light mix
20% earthworm humus
5% coconut fiber
5% perlite
30g Nutrihemp
125g Gurumix
At the time of transplanting I then added 1g of Mycor mix to the bottom of the hole.
Now the seedling has 7 days of life I hope it can grow healthy and strong and give us an excellent harvest 😉

Great strain, would recommend.
Nice smoke/vapor, friends love it, stupefying and euphoric, no heavy couch lock like heavy indicas.
Taste great in The Mighty vaporizer, citrus with a hint of pine.

Sour Jealousy Auto FastBuds 2025 Outside Grow
Week 4 April 27-May 3 Veg
Not much to say. Our weather is roller coaster. One day high of only 72 and low of 44 while most of the others in the mid-80s and low in the 50s. Most of the days were sunny and there was one day of thunderstorms. I can see with the erratic conditions; she has not grown as full and leafy as she should have by now. She only grew about an inch and now 6" tall. I fed kelp and TPS1 once this week.
The last pic is a heron i saw in our ditch.

Hey Leute, 🌞
Diese Woche melde ich mich etwas Später. Die Drei Ladys 🥦 sind in der ersten Blüte Woche auf ca 70cm gewachsen. Der Dünger wurde umgestellt und es fängt so langsam an zu Duften. 😁
Der Filter läuft auf kleinster Stufe und die Luftfeuchtigkeit liegt zwischen 55 % - 51 %.
Heute wurden die Damen mit ca. 40ml B.A.C Folia spray besprüht.
Wünsche euch einen schönen Sonntag 🍀✌️🙏
