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.

Week one is in the books. I planted them on directly into the substrate 11/28/22 (no germination) out of the 10 I planted 6 of them sprouted up. I'm excited for this grow because I have 3 new strains I have never grown. This is grow #7 for me going on 2 years growing straight with no break. I feel like I know what I'm doing now, but still learning everyday. Stay tuned for the progress and like always Happy Growing and may the grow goddesses bless you with a bountiful harvest!

Week 18 done and dusted!! Week 10 of flower!! 🌸 They're ready!! There's enough milky/amber for my liking and they're currently on day 4 of zero water so they'll be pretty much bone dry!! 🏜️ I've turned the LEDs off for their 2 days of darkness!! 🌃 And once that's up I'll give the bottom of the tent a quick clean and take everything out except the extractor fan and a small dehumidifier then 14 days of drying!! 🍂 Catch you next week for another update!! 🍋🍇🤙

week 5.. Use a portable air conditioner, add a co2 bag to under the light because use heat to melt the gas inside. Co2 weighs more than air, it will be fall down below. {Activities} (Day 29) Use the nutrients. (Day 30) Turn on a portable air conditioner (Day 31) Watered (Day 32) n/a (Day 33) Add a co2 bag and watered (Day 34) n/a (Day 35) Watered (Hope you like and enjoy my diary) Thank you so much for checking out my grows.

Still burn tips and edges Bulking up 3 girls all different, G1 is smal plant did not stretch and is ahead of the others, will be the first going down G2 was the smallest and weakest is w 90 cm and bulking up nicely G3 is big, long branches, stretched more than I was expecting, because of the size and long branches she’s a bit behind the other girls. Btw not very strong smell yet but it’s marvelous so far

The enormous growth and bud development this week is unbelievable. This strain keeps pushing and pushing, I can see already that these plants will be covered in bud. Also, these plants are in size what my previous photoperiods grow in 8 weeks and some flowering. Really amazing to see. So far my experience with autos has been meh at best. These plants are nothing like that and are resilient and forgiving. The Mars Hydro SP-3000 is now on full blast, it gives me some white pointies and the temps go up in the tent. I'm on the threshold of heat stress and light burn. I'm trying to push it maximally and to get to know the boundaries. Thanks again for checking out my grow!

Took some microscopic pictures through the mini microscope and a video. Pretty cool. The microscopic world is so fascinating. Put a plastic ring around the pot today and retied. I literally look at my plants for hours. Love them.

Holy fucking shit. I upped the E.C. to around 1.9 and it seems she LOVES it. Since the change (from 1.2 to 1.8) she suddenly draws 5L of water a day and the buds are starting to form. I can clearly already see the typical "cali" US genetics on this plant and i'm very excited to see that develop! Pretty sure i could have achieved the same state with only 6 weeks of veg, but i had to veg her longer for some other plants. Im curious, what she will yield, if someone can guess, i would be happy Take care of yourself, this will be a banger grow!

This wonderful lady is finishing off strong. At this stage I'm not sure if the nugs are swelling or if they are just ripening. The frost on these nugs is insane and the smell of the buds is extremely strong! Overall she is very vigorous but I'm definetly looking forward to chopping it within a few weeks hopefully! Check back next week to see just how fast she buds & dont forget its 4:20 somewhere so it is 4:20 everywhere!!!!!

The ladys are so happy that they even pushed for height a bit more and building the flowers really beautiful. Weather is getting better and better each day. Top temperature was 32°C one day. Started adding Phosphorus+ and removing a few leaves that are blocking the sun to much from the lower buds. Removed some last week, too (not shown in pictures). I control them every day for pests, but so far they love my chili and arugula more. Even some ladybugs decided to join the party and lay some eggs on the other plants. They are having a feast 😁 So far so good. Nothing to complain about. Just awesome plants with awesome growth. Midweek update: thought I give you a little update via video

Too much humidity and not enough airflow, so added a fan and lowered again the amount of water I am giving them and remembered not to water when lights is going off but rather do it when they come on! This strain is very vigorous and produces good sizes lovely buds that smells like a Grapefruit sour candy, very nice! I am hoping she will fatten a bit more. Still 2 to 3 weeks to go. Only water this week too

Bueno familia ya finalizamos, estas red hot cookies son una cepa bestial. La verdad que el secado muy bien 7 días en Malla y a los botes, 45% humedad y 23 grados es la temperatura ambiental que han tenido en el secado. 4 plantas que se cultivaron en un armario de 1.20 pero estos ejemplares solo ocuparon 80x80. Así que ya está cultivada esta gran variedad que es novedad este 2020, americana de la familia Cookies, la Tropicanna Cookies (Girl Scout Cookies x Tangie) con un porcentaje de thc entre los 17/25%, una bomba. Que decir de Agrobeta, lo peta 💪 en cuanto a nutrientes. Un saludo y buenos humos.

Vegetative week 17 just started for the Crimea Blue ladies. They got into a big storm last week but didn't got damaged at all. My spot is such a blessing, especially for the safety reason :) They got a little taller but mostly they got bushier.

Englisch: We have now reached week 2 and the ladies have tolerated the early repotting a little worse than expected. But they recovered from the shock. All 3 biscotti plants are now growing wonderfully and look great so far. With the Gelatos, 1-3 are very uniform and growing well, but 4 and 5 are lagging behind. Time will tell if all 5 will make it to flowering. The two Cookies x Key Lime Pie are unfortunately also a little slower growing than the Biscotti and Gelato 1-3, but I'm so interested in the strain that I'm keeping both plants. Now we come to Herz OG, the strain I was most looking forward to. Heart OG 1 is growing relatively OK, but is clearly lagging behind the Bisottis and Gelatos. Heart OG 2 is growing quite slowly so far. Even slower than number 1. It also shows a mutation on the first pair of leaves. Let's see how it develops... The fertilizer has also been added since the beginning of week 2. Here I use the Athena Blended Line and stick to their feed schedules and the hand watering strategy. Deutsch: Nun sind wir in Woche 2 angekommen und die Ladies haben das frühe Umtopfen doch etwas schlechter vertragen, als gedacht. Aber so langsam erholen sie sich von dem Schock. Alle 3 Biscotti Pflanzen wachsen wunderbar und sehen bisher toll aus. Bei den Gelatos sind 1-3 sehr einheitlich und wachsen gut, jedoch hängen 4 und 5 hinterher. Es wird sich zeigen, ob alle 5 es bis in die Blüte bringen werden. Die beiden Cookies x Key Lime Pie sind leider auch etwas langsamer im Wachstum, als die Biscotti und Gelato 1-3. Der Strain interessiert mich jedoch so sehr, dass ich beide Pflanzen behalte. Nun kommen wir zum Herz OG, die Sorte auf die ich mich am meisten gefreut habe. Herz OG 1 wächst relativ OK, hängt jedoch klar hinter den Bisottis und Gelatos hinterher. Herz OG 2 wächst bisher recht langsam. Noch langsamer als Nummer 1. Sie zeigt außerdem eine Mutation am ersten Blattpaar. Mal schauen wie sie sich entwickelt... Außerdem wurde seit Beginn der Woche 2 der Dünger mit eingebracht. Hier verwende ich die Athena Blended Line und halte mich dabei an deren Feed Schedules sowie die hand watering strategy.
