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.

Added 3 mars hydro sp3000 300 watt led bars I got locally for under 100$
Chopped one down that just wouldn’t vertically stop growing and was suffocating the rest of the plants and now everyone has good light penetration all around
Buds are getting fatter and the smell is insane

Toda esta fantasía se hace realidad gracias a Royal Queen Seeds y @James por confiar en mí. 🚀💥
Fiel a su linaje genético, la Hyperion F1 ofrece un aroma intenso que está dominado por notas frescas de pino y hierba, junto con un trasfondo terroso y un delicioso toque especiado. Aunque todos nuestros híbridos F1 producen excelentes concentraciones de cannabinoides y terpenos, no hay duda de que la Hyperion destaca entre el resto. Sus cogollos alargados y escarchados producen una resina rica y cargada de cannabinoides (sobre todo THC), y terpenos como mirceno, ocimeno, farneseno, terpinoleno, cariofileno y humuleno. Esto no solo da lugar a un aroma muy fuerte, sino también a un efecto bien equilibrado que combina una relajación física (en gran parte gracias al mirceno y al farneseno) con la euforia, risa y efecto motivador de otros terpenos. Al igual que el dios de la luz del mismo nombre, la Hyperion F1 causa un subidón esclarecedor que se puede disfrutar a cualquier hora del día.

📆 Semana 5:
Un temporal ha ralentizado el crecimiento, aunque ella sigue creciendo algo mas lento.
No riego esta semana porque hay lluvias constantes que mantienen la humedad en el suelo.
Esta semana creo que apareceran las preflores

What's happening viewers. Texas had a line of thunderstorms and tornadoes this past week. Winds grew up to more than 20mph. WISDOM the White Widow and her sister Patience the mystery strain to the right, lived through every drop . The rain allowed the ladies to flush naturally and ready for dinner. Keep it locked because the mother Annie the Afghan will pop up any minute now. Y'all stay cool.

📆 Semana 9
La Mentha de Croco entra ya en cierre real: los cogollos dejan de crecer pero se endurecen y cargan más resina. Los pistilos empiezan a oscurecer y los tricomas se ponen mayormente lechosos con algún ámbar. El aroma mentolado sube un punto más y los riegos ya son muy suaves, solo para mantenerla estable antes del remate.
Afinando resina, terpenos y densidad para la semana 11.
¡Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

Hi Growmies
So here we have it , the end is nigh !.
After and interesting 99 Days from seed and 70 days in their flowering phase of an expected 63. It is not unusual to pass the stated times and even early harvest on occasions so I am not hung up about the timing and is another reason that I use the trichromes as a guide to the right time to pull them.
The #1 has definitely reached her harvest window now with some Amber tricks now being visible on checking. She looks so sweet now and I did begin to trim her up a little before I started the update pics. I do plan on using the bowl trimmer for speed this run and will video how it goes for the next update. I hate trim-jail so will use the spinner to help. Some of the buds look a bit small low down and I expect drying will shrink them to a Nug but all adds to final yield. I am not too stoked about the overall bud sizes and suspect the products did have an effect on that outcome for me but tje quality and number are its saving grace .
The #2 Lady is looking chunkier than her sister although not as big in footprint. Her trichromes are beginning to cloud now so I expect at least another week before her harvest is due
#3 is the most impressive for looks and appeal for sure. , she is covered in medium sized colas amd has some of the purpled leaves that the strain is known for. She is also as frosty as hell to highlight her even more. Like #2 she needs the ripening time now so I expect next update to be the final before harvest results.
It has been a simple grow with no real dramas to contend with. Thanks for riding along with me. Be well.

Week 1 - 01/01 to 01/08 2021
HUGE THANKS TO @MARSHYDROLED and @VIPARSPECTRALED!
New surge protectors/heavy duty timers/the good cords.
The Red Poison by @Sweet_Seeds is right on track with the Dark Devil and Purple Lemonade from my other diaries. The LSD is a little behind but the genetics seems to keep it small if you get the wrong pheno. Will give it a week or so for it to really settle in with a root base before cleaning out my 5gal RootPouch pots from the last grow and getting them transferred into their final homes.
I have all my seedlings under the P1500 from Vipar as my veg light for the first few weeks to a month. It's SO nice to not have a blurple anymore, the light is way better in my room and on the eyes. The new diodes had every single seedling grow more in 6 hours than it did in the first 7 days under the blurp LED. The Red Poison perked right up and threw another set of leaves in the first 6 hours under the new light just like the Dark Devil and Purple Lemonade.
I noticed a bit of spotting on the Dark Devil in my other diary so I added some Hydrogen Peroxide to the spray bottle and it cleared up. All four have been getting constant spritzing from the spray bottle to keep humidity up.
Excited to see how big i can get the autos under the new lights, will switch over from the Vipar to the Mars by end of week 2/mid week 3 once I transfer them and give them a day or so settle in.
Thanks for stopping in! Throw down a like and/or follow so i can return the favour 🙌

Just got the girls in the coco with the floraflex drip shields. I have on girl in regular roots organic soil and some m3 super soil mixed in. They are under my DIY citizen cob led. Consists of 4-citizens clu048 -1818 90cri cobs running at 1050ma. Later in bloom I'll probably bring in my other DIY that consists of 2-citizens clu058-1825 90cri cobs running at 2.4 amps. Im hoping to really push these girls but this is only my second run with coco and advanced. We shall see!

Day 71 - Not much going on today but is is starting to smell a bit more. Kinda sweet with a little bit of funk is the easiest way to explain it. Noticed some of her top leaves were tacoing a bit so raised the light up a little bit to try and relax her.
Day 72 - She’s still chugging along and she’s packing in nicely. Other than that, not much else happening. I raised the lights a little more cause still have a few leaves up top folding like tacos. Have the high temps no higher than 78 and around 69 at night so I don’t think heat is the cause, I think I had the lights way to close.
Day 73 - Nothing much to update today. She’s gonna need some more water tomorrow. Still have some tacoing of the leaves but did about all I can do now so just hoping it doesn’t bother her the last couple weeks.
Day 74 - Almost waited a day to late to give her some water and nutrients. She was just starting to drop a bit but got her fed before she really had any big issues. She took 2 full gallons of water and nutes so that should hold her over for about 2-3 days.
Day 75 - All looks great since watering, no more droopy leaves but man oh man the buds are getting fat and dense as hell. There’s still plenty of clear trichs and most pistils are still thick and white so still at least two week left but can’t wait for this harvest.
Day 76 - Will probably be attaching some of those plant yoyo’s soon because these buds are getting fat and heavy and don’t want anything bad happening to them. This is turning out to be one of my best grows to date. The top few leaves are really tacoing and getting brittle, not a lot but a few so I raised the lights a bit more. Probably too late for the couple that are damaged but overall she should be ok.
Day 77 - No major updates today, she’ll be needing some water for sure tomorrow. Other than that, I’ll be attaching some plant yo-yo’s today to support the massive buds.

Day 41 - Everything seems to be going great so far this is my first time using green house nutrients & the plants seem to be loving it! All 3 of my Girl Scout Cookies still don’t seem to be in flower & it’s starting week 7 so I am considering throwing them in my flower tent for a few days to see if that will help push them into flower but all in all very happy with this run so far, Fastbuds never disappoints! Thanks for following & happy growing friends!🔥🙏🏼✌️🏼🌱

This plant seems to have grown much denser and better than my first plant. I just got the ac infinity ventilation setup with controller 69 for my 2x2, still trying to learn, hopefully grow #3 goes even better. Stay tuned

It's been a pretty good week. Carl 2 stretched out like a motherfucker, nearly a four inch stretch as of today. The accidental topping due to blunt trauma a while ago seems to have stopped the stunted growth and allowed it to really shoot upwards and outwards. The split on UKBS 2 is still necrotic, and the effects seem to be travelling down the stem. I have a fan on it for airflow and I'm hitting it twice daily with a vinegar solution to try and kill off what seems to be white mold in the stem. As of recently the spread has slowed down somewhat, so I'm feeling hopeful. Next feeding it'll get hit with another round of nature's candy and velokelp to try and build some strength back up and come out a real winner in 3 months or so.
The tent has been flipped to 12/12, but the outdoor plants wont be flowering for another 3 months-ish minimum, so this diary's gonna get a little interesting in terms of week type. Carl 1 is incredibly stretchy inside the tent, almost 6 maybe 8 inches from when I flipped and Scrogged. Gave Carl 1 a fat haircut a couple days ago, she reacted quite well.
Updates will come throughout the week. Happy growing and thanks for checking out the grow.
By 5/11/2021 - I've acquired some peroxide to try and assist UKBS 2 with the mold/pathogen issue. The previous night's application seemed to work, and I applied again today. Hopefully she'll pull through. One of the main stems is drooping massively, I may lose it but hopefully not.

😻 Final upload for the ILGM Big Bud!!.. She's dry after nearly 10 days (we hang in large cardboard boxes for 9 days and then a paper bags to finish) they definitely surprised us, we counted on roughly 6-7oz max and she delivered just over 9! (257g!!)... The smoke is very smooth and the flowers have a fruity, perfume like smell.. We'll definitely be growing this again (we have a clone of this in re-veg now)...Thanks for stopping by and happy harvests everyone!!

Approaching the finish line. Fertilizer is now at its final dose. Both plants stopped growing now and started to build thick buds. Ken in fact is way ahead in terms of buds but it might be because he Hase a little bit less in number. It’s possible that I trained Ryu too much for his pot size 😆😆. But let’s see. Both looking very good and a lot more powerful than in my first grow.
Water intake is still massive. The top soil is rock solid while draining water super fast which must mean the pots are filled with massive roots. The erected teeth came down a bit but they were never that severe in the first place so I’m still not worried about that. I skipped one day of watering to account for possible slight overfeeding but I mean, today’s watering then was with the increased dose of fert 😆😆. I know I’m pushing it a little bit but that’s deliberate. I have high demands both in mass and quality so my approach is riding the edge as good as possible from the beginning 😆
