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.

Now the ROYAL GORILLA in all orange pipe cleaners! This plant is a pain in the ass lol. The inner growth and spacing is insanely close!!! so many shoots all tightly together. I have tied down anything I can. Unsure how it will work in budding next week

Hello my beloved potheads. PLANTS WENT ROGUE AND FULL BERSERK !!! THEY ARE READY TO START FLOWERING. THE MOST IMPORTANT SHIT SHOW OF THIS DIARY , BECAUSE WILL PROVE OR DEBUNK IF THIS SETUP/ TECHNIQUES WERE IDEAL FOR BUDGET GROWERS. PLAGUES WERE CONTROLLED WITH SPRINGHILL OIL (Anasac) , and the mix with regular soap and top crop barrier make it way less prone to be infected & protected in case of other future realiates and relapses. I DONT HAVE COMMENTS FOR PLANTS EXCEPT FOR THIS: I MUST TAKE CARE OF THE FLOWERING STRETCH because it can make the plants hit any light and burn!. Plants are a bit overfed but their savage grow between weeks shows this ain't disadvantage at all , regards.

——GENERAL COMMENT—— So end of the third week, -1day, so we are in day 20 since sprought. Big difference between the two girls, one is developing like crazy shooting up stems, drinking a lot, and the cousin is more chilled taking her time. ——RQS EASY BUD COMMENT—— This is the one developing very good, she is just amazing, the fastest developing girl as of yet. So i gave her the first feeding and she just exploded. Pause the voodoo juice, continued the Recharge every other watering. Very satisfied! 🙃

Green House Feeded one is enjoying life and growing big health buds. She received her last lollipoping. Advanced Nutrients one is still struggling. I am increasing the feeding per Advanced Nutrients supports suggestion. Let’s hope she recovers.

Hello and thank you for stopping by, it is now day 28 in 2x4 closet and things are going very smoothly I'm watering still with a pH of 6.5 when dry. I'm having minor issues with Gnat larvae in my coco and I am going to solve the issue by watering with neem oil for the next couple weeks. I will also be trying out some hydrogen peroxide in my water at a 4:1 ratio if the neem oil fails to control the larvae. My first top dress will be in about 7 days and I am going to be doing some low stress training this week stay tuned ☺️

The girls are looking great! I took off the last few leaves under the net. It’s been raining almost nonstop for a week so the humidity is a little on the high side. I’m going to flush them today and then switch to the flowering feeding schedule.

30-7 Well i'm a hoping she produces like her cousin did. I know Patience!! It's been so humid in the house the dehumidifier has been producing constant RO water at 22PPM. So far no leaks in the new system🙏 This is an interesting CBD we will see if a new location in the room makes a difference this go around.😎

By coincidence the video is perfectly timed. I didn’t plan for that, but I’m proud of the timing now😂 For my climate density and size were fine. Planted her a bit late. Withstood all weather conditions without shelter or special care, some mild pest infections. As it was a cutting I can't tell about original structure, but even the cutting looked like "from seed" with a nice christmas tree optic (with a little lst). Big buds stay as they are, smaller are going to be pressed or bubbled. ~7-10d drying ~1 month curing - update. Update for end of contest, some dry picture + 7 of x days curing. Already very sweet and fruity. (Nicer) Smellier than my other outdoors. 30g very fine buds and don't know how much trim + popcorn. Anyway .. harsh conditions + survivor + no mold. Most important properties for my outdoor location. 👌💪 Let it grow!😁

Che dire ragazzi... Odori fortissimi nell'aria, come vedete gli insetti stanno a pranzo e cena sulle mie piccole.. Pazienza! Non dovrebbe mancare tanto, penso 2 settimane al raccolto, sono riuscito a farcele vedere di giorno finalmente è sono contento di poterle condividere con tutti voi 🙏🏽 aggiunte un po di noci in più, anche se si vede un po di fox talking, il resto perfetto.

She doing very well, altrough a lot of insects eat her leaves. Even if she can get another 3-4 weeks of life, I need to cut her down earlier, because the wether is becoming colder and colder, and I got other problems. so in the next days I will flush her and within 2 weeks harvest her. If it wasn't for her slow growth in the first 2 weeks she would probably be at her best right now.

This beauty is starting to finish up. Yellowing up and fattening up nicely. I’m still having powdery mildew pop up but nothing too crazy. It’s not getting in the buds. She has been turning a touch purple with all the cold nights in my neck of the woods. I will likely take this girls down in a week as the forecast is nothing but rain so mildew could become an issue with too much humidity and the cold nights. I want to try these genetics indoor as PM won’t be an issue I’m my tent. 😎🍿

Plants came back out of their 36 hours of darkness and were a little droopy, so I made the decision to put them outside for the first day of light. Unfortunately they suffered from wind burn so I brought them back to the tent. Foliar fed the plants daily at 400PPM.
