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.

hello fellow growers! it's the last couple weeks of this run and i couldn't be happier with the results, it's been a learning curve that shoots to the sky, amazing genetics that helps a lot, resistant and sturdy plants with a lot of terps and easy to grow, it's not hard to get to know them and they will tell you what the issues is and quick! they will let you know if sum wrong! they don't like PH flux and high EC (a lot of nutes). i'd say any of the fast buds line is a great starting plant for beginners but you still have the possibility to really cream these babies out and maximize yields n quality. i'm really happy and can't wait until next run!✅❤️ bless!! //Highone420

Okay no more messing around I’ve upped the watering to around 4.5 gal per eight half plants - Was gone last three days Cali weather good now and in 90’s! Plants have had little water///stressing healthy genetics here - 707 heavy water holding soil had held up thankfully - - low stress bending methods still at work. Super slow pouring on watering feeds especially now when top soil seems a bit flatter and dryer. These panda film pots SUCK, very good water hold as little drainage and tough for even water and no spillage sometimes - maybe this is why people invest in a gallon per minute reverse osmosis pump water gun Stronger smells now of that goodness

Week 8 for Moby Dick by fastbuds, Been getting a few spiders webs here & there on this plant... i don't think its spider mites but staying on the look out encase it is. Aphid situation seems to be well handled ATM after i sprayed some organic pesticide on the plant & some much stronger stuff in the surrounding area like i mentioned i planned on doing on last weeks update. Been defoliation very little on this plant just the stuff making shade on the flower growth areas. 😎

8/10 Week 4 and she is ... well better Gave a one time of Recharge and Fish Shit she likes that stuff. Raised her light another inch see if it helps. Nuets as is PM feeding gave 1ml Kangaroots just to see if we can get her going 8/11 She is building so count that as a win hit 4" with a new node Keeping the light a bit higher for now 8/12 Moved the lights to 30" just looking for a veg sweet spot Seems hitting her roots is paying off will give another dose of kangaroots tonight 8/13 Looking good so increased nuets to 10 and 10 of cocotek A&B Good vertical growth still debating topping 8/14 Well she has three days to bulk up then we flip the lights. 8/15 We have decided to let her grow naturally, topping now would stress right as we flip, not a great idea so she is what she is as we do not want to stress this girl any further. Increased nuets to 12ml/gal each of cocotek AB, drinking more now Pic tonight Flipping in 2... 8/16 Good growth over night Flipping in 1...

15/08/24 (FD 22): Started to give my girls some more bio bloom to boost Phosphate & flower development, for now they seem to handle the extra nutes with no problem what so ever! Also the stretch seems to be done and they reached 1m in height. I wonder how tall they would have gotten if I wouldn't have topped them in week 3? There is one really weird mutation in the big girls which results in a flat stem with a bend and stunted top...I am really curious to see flower development on this one! I hope they will reach their maturity in 6 weeks so I can harvest before October when it will get humid & rainy! Stay tuned

Low yeild for 15 week cycle but it is what it is. I'm certain it would have been amazing if I'd have gave it everything I had. Grownn in a 2x2 and was neglected. Was only watered a handful of times and gave nutrients even less. Low yeild but wasn't too bothered as this was just a novelty grow for me and didn't really need the yeild from it.

Week 1: Transition to Flowering Welcome to the fifth weekly update of our cannabis cultivation journey in Germany! As we transition from the vegetative stage to the flowering stage, our strains—Pulp Friction, Cookies Haze, Eleven Roses, Poddy Mouth, Critical Lemon Kush, and OG Kush—are ready for the next phase of their growth. Before entering the flowering stage, we took a few important steps to prepare the plants for optimal flowering. Key Developments: 1. Pre-Flowering Preparation: - The plants were defoliated to remove excess leaves and improve light penetration and airflow. - Each plant was repositioned to ensure they have ample space and light exposure. 2. Growing Medium and Setup: - The plants are grown in a mix of living soil, coco coir, perlite, and clay pebbles. - The soil mix includes mycorrhizal fungi cultures to support healthy root development. 3. Watering and Nutrient System: - The plants are watered from the bottom using an AutoPot system, which provides a consistent supply of nutrient solution. - The pots are equipped with air domes connected to an air pump, delivering oxygen directly to the roots to enhance growth. Steps Taken: 1. Defoliation and Positioning: - Carefully removed excess fan leaves to improve light distribution and airflow within the canopy. - Repositioned the plants to ensure each one has enough space to grow and receive adequate light. 2. Watering and Nutrient Management: - Set up the AutoPot system to supply a balanced nutrient solution to the plants. - Ensured the nutrient solution is appropriate for the flowering stage, with a focus on supporting bud development. 3. Air Domes and Oxygenation: - Connected the air domes to an air pump to deliver oxygen to the root zone. - Monitored the air pump to ensure consistent oxygen flow to the roots. Next Steps: - Monitor the plants closely for signs of flowering and adjust the light cycle to 12 hours on and 12 hours off to initiate and support flowering. - Continue to observe the plants for any signs of nutrient deficiencies or excesses and adjust the feeding regimen as needed. - Ensure the AutoPot system and air domes are functioning properly to maintain optimal hydration and oxygenation. Stay tuned for next week’s update, where we’ll discuss the progress of the first week of flowering and any adjustments made to the care routine. Feel free to ask any questions or share your own experiences in the comments below!

So excited to be finally drying her. She may have went another week, but it was time. She was quite the trooper! She survived over feeding and over watering. She wore her battle scars proudly though! Very nice nuggets, very little larf. Like maybe less than 10g. 💪👌 So very glad I have another, she deserves her own space! Mouth watering strain Im glad I got to grow! Again, TYVM Clarissa @Weedseedsexpress She is amazing and just as I hoped! Weedseedsexpress.com
