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.

Everything is running smoothly. Nothing really to report on. I added a second trellis for support and I switched from feeding every 4th day, to every 3rd day.

D01 - 25/09 -> New Home for my fellows clones coming from one of biggest plant I ever saw: a Royal Queen Seeds Skunk XL D02 - 26/09 -> I think she has a little zinc deficency, so i dropped down to ph to 5.5 D03 - 27/09 -> Topped one girl to see what happens. If everything goes well, I'm going to topping all of them. Increased EC until 1.3 D04 - 28/09 -> Topping of other buds D05 - 29/09 -> Rest for the girls. Increased EC until 1.5 D06 - 30/09 -> SCROG Net Setup and a little of defolation. Tomorrow I'm going to cut all the branches below the red line (see picture). I want to make a main lining alongside the SCROG Net with 2-3 branches and cut off all the branches below except for the girl on the left that is too short yet. D07 - 01/10 -> I Cut off the branches of only one girl, waiting to see her reaction to the stress before to do the same to other girls. Increased EC until 1.8.

So I stopped topping this week to see where the tops are at on these plants, and after seeing the explosion of growth after the 1 to 7 gal transplant, I think these are good to go! I’m waiting on switching to flower until I plant and germinate my next run, which will be in about 2 weeks. Also debating on running clones of these if I see any I like during the flowering stretch. I had to instal a carbon filter yesterday, Oct15, as my mother in law said it smells like a skunk sprayed the side of my house. Didn’t think I would need to until flower, but I guess it’s expected with this many plants! Steady growth, and slowly shifting nutrient amounts up, get ready for some buds!

Alles entwickelt sich sehr gut, nur hab ich heute 3 Pollensäcke gefunden und gleich entfernt. Hoffe das nicht noch mehr nach kommen sonst muss die Lady ausziehen. 17.07 Es wurden sechs weitere Bananen entdeckt und entfernt. Komischerweise nur an den oberen Buds, Ich hoffe, es werden nicht noch mehr, aber bisher lässt sich das Problem im Zaum halten. Ansonsten reagieren die Pflanzen sehr gut auf die Erhöhung des Düngers nach Schema

She's moving along at a nice pace. Bulking up while giving no real issues. Has some nice mass to her. She's a wee bit taller. And if I could redo something it would be applying HST to her after preflower. Lovely dank lemon kush smell developing. Super sticky to the touch and building a boat load of trichomes. This is my 2nd SweetSeeds grow. And I'll 100% be doing this strain again. (As I know what it's like, its being curing 45 days now). Xpert nutrients have been a gift in their application to its ease and fast results, I simply can't praise them enough. Has brought my bud quality up easily 2-3x and Increased bud quantity. Although, that's me knowing by looking at the plants. I roughly weight stuff, I know I got 1850 dry grams from 45 plants. 13-15 were 8L pots and small such as this. So, this was 1 of the biggest yeilders out of the lot.(crop is finished and burnt my way through 2/3rds of it, I've about a halfo of this for my night time smoke, while my last 6 plants from this crop have been curing 3 weeks now and will soon be smoked) biggest crop I've done. 45 plants was a feat, a real task keeping track with whos on what and using xpert nutrients made it much smoother and any slight ph mistakes or overf/under feeds didn't destroy 1 plant to the point were it was culled. Big thanks to ALL my sponsors. Whom I truly thank as I wouldn't have any of this without them. And to you my viewers. Whom I'd have no sponsors without. I thank you. DISCOUNT FOR XPERT NUTRIENTS 20% OFF CODE:ggst. Free EU SHIPPING Also, any new growers or struggling to purchase seeds and would like a few different strains. I've lots there. (Offer open to those who don't have lots of stock). Just DM me. Please be patient in response.

I harvested on day 55 flower. She smells great and the yield looks pretty decent. super dense buds! I decided to harvest earlier- 8 weeks vs 9 weeks to get a more energetic high out of the blueberry :)

What can I say. She has gone from smallest to biggest plant in the tent. So many baby buds on her. She is now starting to smell nice. This plant has grown totally naturally without any training at all. She look briliant.

Girl is looking healthy and i transfered moss pellet when i saw root coming at bottom in 11L pot with Biobizz All-mix and about 5-10% coco with clay pebble drainage at bottom. Used mychorizza too in transplant hole to help roots growing at start. Pretty sunny days with little bit rain almost every day but little bit too cold this week. 13-15C at days and few night dropped 4C otherwise 8-10C. Day 1: Started counting veg at 24.5. Day 4: Transfered moss pellet in 11L pot.
