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.

I think this will be the final weeks for ChiBan. The cold has forced a turn of purple colour which with her frost looks beautiful. Nice dense buds with a tropical smell. Delicious.. That's all this week for her. Stay safe 😷😷 Grow well 🌿🌼🙏🏻👍🏻

The trichomes on some buds are already ripe, on others a little less so. I plan to harvest next Sunday, or I could opt to harvest those buds where the trichomes are already at the right ripeness. I've never done a separate harvest of buds, but it might be the first time.💪🍀🌴

Well, this was a interesting first journey.... the buds finished drying today, 5 days drying, added pics and vids. Just curing to go.... ah nice buds :) Edit: i forgot to mention i went over the buds when i harvested them, and checked / removed any impurities, like gnats caught in the sticky bud.... picked em clean with tweezers... 👍 Edit: needed to air/dry out the buds abit more, and get some Boveda Humidipak for curing.... it's looking good... i'll update with some pics of trimmed, cured buds 😎 The buds turned out beautiful, pungent, pine, berry, citrusy, daytime, medical..... this has theoretical 1:1 - 21% THC, 19% CBD, so it's not going to give u a knockout high.... its medical grade 1:1 ....... side effects - happy, relaxed. haha :) I weighed it dry and came up with about 123.32g (4.35oz) ... i used abit of guesswork in the weight, not to concerned with weight, as to quality.... (that weight is with the test buds added in, +-15g.) .... you can guess the weight from the pics and vids, haha I really enjoyed growing this.... i found the website by looking up the seeds, decided to start a grow diary, it's my first grow, i made alot of mistakes and growdiaries really helped alot, joined a chat group with some other really good growers. Edit - Day 111 - added vid/pic, Been curing for a week, burp and roll em abit twice a day....... smell and taste nicer each day, 👍 Edit - Day 112 - added good vid of trimmed up test bud, beautiful ...... I hope You enjoyed the Diary..... Good Buds 😎

Hello again, Growmies, As we proudly step into week 10 with our Epic Buzz, the symbiosis of nature and technology in our garden is truly flourishing. The dedication of TrolMaster's automation system is reflected in the thriving state of Epic Buzz #1, #2, and #3, which are burgeoning with vitality and promise. Epic Buzz #1 is a spectacle, adorned with clusters of dense flowers that are bursting with trichomes—each bud a sparkling testament to the perfect environment we've provided. The light frosting is spreading across the foliage, foretelling the potent harvest that awaits us. In our controlled ecosystem, the average Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD) has been right on target, ensuring optimal transpiration without stressing our beloved plants. This careful balance optimizes their uptake of water and nutrients, fostering the luscious flowering we're observing. Siblings #2 and #3 are not to be outdone, with their own dense, sticky flowers reaching for the heavens, eagerly soaking in every ounce of light. Their robust health and vigour are clear indicators of the success of our environmental stewardship. Our environmental graph this week is a testament to our commitment to stability. The temperatures and humidity have held within the ideal range, if we discount the outliers, maintaining a conducive atmosphere for the Epic Buzz family's development. The steadfast nature of the EC and pH of our nutrient solution has played a pivotal role in this week's triumph. This unwavering supply of nutrition has been crucial, providing our Epic Buzz plants with the sustenance they need to thrive. As we look to the coming weeks, it's with a sense of eager anticipation. The Epic Buzz trio, with their hedgehog-like buds and early frost, are not just plants but representations of cultivation mastery. They are a living tribute to the precision of our environment, lovingly controlled and monitored for their benefit. And so, as we anticipate the final stretch of this grow cycle, we remain captivated by the daily progress and the nearing harvest. With each day, we're reminded of the beauty and strength found in diversity and balance. Stay lifted, Salokin

Last week went well. She is done stretching and is just stacking on bud mass and trichomes. Very pleased with this strain so far. Thank you Seedsmans for the great testers. This beauty would have done great in a 5 gallon pot. Still has some time to go, but I can't wait. The smell is getting stronger and I am looking forward to trying her out. Happy I have more seeds to grow. She responded great to topping and lst training. I did some minor defoilation this past week and am just watching her do her thing. Until next time happy growing to everyone!

Creció mucho (especialmente para tener apenas 150 watts). No creció en altura, lo cual es bueno. El corte apical quedó bien.

Beautiful pair of phenos of Badaz og cheese very excited about what strain is gonna offer me in terms of quality buds, so excited to see what is every of this 2 phenos gonna be like, I really hope that both of them have the exact terpenes profile and the same potency! Let's keep on working! We'll the ladies have been Transplanted on February 2nd after 17 days since planted, they were very big and the pot was completely conquered by strong roots as you can see, now both of them are in their new 11l pot home let's see how they keep developing! 💛❤️💚🔝💎

These were two different types of plants. Item 9 was short and bushy, red velvet was stocky and tall.

Well, I really didn't have to do much with this Gal. She is very low maintenance. Very fruity, smelly and is full bodied. She lost some of her hardness after a 48hr dark rest, it has made her really sticky, and I was expecting this to happen as the leaf to calyx ratio is high in this pheno. But she makes up for it in smell, let's hope it tastes as nice. I'm not too worried About it not been, as the other 3 GFS I harvested were good, even if I marked 1 wrong. Have hung dry this gal whole, I let it dry out in the coco and took it apart (the pot) and broke away the substrate to leave the roots and let it dry as natural as I can with no stress. This my 1st time doing this, have done it on all 3, so let's hope wasn't a bad idea, will update on smoke report as soon as she's dry.

gained 10" in the last 7 days. 19" in the last 2 weeks. doing extremely light stress training. just enough to get the light evenly to the leaves. there are multiple colas coming up together. hoping for a decent amount from these plants. im doing a light defoliation each week. changed the way the lights hang in the 3rd tent to give more room to grow and light covers more of the plant now
