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.

Mildew was detected in the beginning if the week, the plant sprayed with solution of hydro peroxide to kill spores and then solution of apple vinegar to stop prevent new mold. It worked. I thenk the next eeek will be the last. I decreased 5he concentration of the watering solution, especially in Nitrogen part.

I know it is only two weeks but compared to other auto flower plants during this stage I'm starting to think that all three of my girls are stunted. I did have an issue during week 1. My light wasn't 18 inches as Mars Hydro indicated. I still had my lights height at 24inches.

Aug 31: end of August and now six weeks into flowering. I force flowered by putting her in the dark garage for 10 h a night plus “bonus two hours of darkness” from the use of a 730 nm light at dusk as a bloom booster. She’s not a super fast flowering plant but she is coming along. There is a nice lemony or citrus smell to the buds which is a personal fave. Should be good. Aug 4: nice weather lately and Euphoria is looking good. Great smell, but quite leafy and the buds are a bit slow to form, or at least slow for this far north. Should be good for an early October finish and September is supposed to be summer like here this year.

11/9: I took some photos and added a 35w 3500k LED to the top section and have it pointed towards the backside of one of them and my little Stardawggy. 11/10: Today, I super-cropped about 10 different mains and branches on various plants. The canopy is now much more even. They'll be ready for a feeding tomorrow. 11/11: I fed them all about 1/3 gallon each with big bloom, tiger bloom, beastie bloomz, cal-mag, bembe, humic acid concentrate, myco/tricho, signal, and a little grow big. 11/12: I spent a couple of hours tying down branches and tucking leaves to get more light down into some of the plants, and rotated the edge plants. 11/13: I rotated the edge plants and added a TNB Naturals CO2 enhancer to the closet. I raised the thermostat on the ac infinity to 86f, so as not to exhaust it all, but with the cold air intake, it's rarely even coming on anyway.👍 11/14: Their buds are swelling up nicely! I fed them again today because I'm still seeing some signs of potassium and phosphorus deficiencies. I went 1/2 strength with the grow big, but full strength with everything else... 11/15: Last day of week 6 and I'm happy with their progress. I plucked off the dead shit and tried to reposition some of the lower branches to get more light. Took some photos and shot some budporn video..sexy ladies!😍

Week nine all of the girls are doing very well continuing to have a very fast growth no problems so far I had leap leafhoppers that were giving me some trouble early on, but they seem to be all gone now so that is great. The girls should have about 4 to 5 more weeks of veg so expecting another foot or two of growth before they hit that bud They’re all larger than the plants I grew in 2023 and the smallest plant was 4 pounds so still expectations are high excited to finish out this season

This week I brought my @STRNG seeds tent grow outside for a day/night to cool off. Because of our extreme temperatures and because my grow tent is in the garage, it is too hot for my plant. I really need to turn on the garage air conditioner, but my husband complains about the electric bill-heheh. She needed the cooler weather outside and a break from my nutrients I think. She looks a hot mess with all of her yellow leaves, so I defoliated all the ugly ones so she could regain her youth appearance. It rained a little last night and I included a picture of the the rain water in a measuring cup to show how much it rained. Hopefully, I can correct whatever I am doing wrong and we can continue with a healthy grow. The plan is to turn the air condition on and cool the grow tents environment. @STRNG seeds Sex Panther is till growing by adding 2 inches to her height and flowering beautifully. We are in our 2nd week of flowering! @STRNG seeds website says it should be indoor height between 100-120cm. We are currently at 55 cm so we are a little short right now but that could be because it is too hot in the grow tent. Her buds are beautiful and she looks great. Until next week, Be happy. Likes and comments are always appreciated.

All girlz are about to finish up on time and are doing well. I hoping that they all don't finish at once because I only have a 2x2 drying tent. I gave them their last feed this week. They are still drinking up water every three days. I increased the PPFD, but I read that it's not going to increase the size of the buds or harvest time. Just wanna make sure the buds at the bottom get more exposure to light.

Las tres primeras plantas del vídeo son gorilla glue 4 y las otras watermelon. Se observa en las watermelon un inicio de floración un poco raro, con malformaciones en las primeras preflores. Seguimos para ver evolución de esta planta!

The terps have begun, the amnesia tropical, the gorilla fruity, the Franco lemony, and the Queen with a fuelly musk. All in all lookin super tasty so far. The Franco is stretching fast towards the height of the amnesia, so I am hoping for a lemon sativa pheno for her, we'll see. Cheers
