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.

She just keeps getting chunkier. Growing steadily and without issues. This is the last week I’ll feed her big bud, then move onto begin flushing at around day 63. My only concern about this grow is the humidity being a tad high and AVT being so big she’s blocking the light to the babies in the corners. So far she smells like pine/tabaco/funk.

* Increased ppm from 850 to 950. * They’ve been in veg for to long. I’ll be taking clones today. Atleast 2. I’ll probably cut the tops of since they hit the led light.

Hi, I've done this on larger scale in the past, now I do my best to keep within lines of Dutch laws. This is a bit difficult but very doable. I started late with taking pictures, Yesterday I noticed the first white hairs 😀 So I took some pictures today and uploaded them. I grow on very small scale under a desk 😏 so the plant can't grow to large in height. No topping for me, since this is an automatic, I'd like to see that it does. From seed it has been on 12/12 :) also to see if it still will become a nice lookin plant, also to keep it short. I added some chicken fertilizer for extra nutrients, just on the soil. On day 24 (3,5 weeks) I decided to make the plant a bit smaller with LST technique. I hope I didn't break the stem otherwise I'll have to update to HST / LST. Bloow has been set and is going fast. remember, this is from seed on 12/12 lighting.

Starting week 6 of flower and everything is growing nicely and stinking up the place. This strain is not a huge yielder but it makes up for it in quality! Buds will still bulk up quite a bit in these last few week (she’s goes to 9 weeks). I will be doing 1 more defoliation of some bigger fan leaves that are blocking the light to the lower canopy sometime this week. Other than that the girls are cruising right along.

May 1st - pH 6.0, PPM 1280, 2.6 EC, 79/70f, 35% humidity - Water change, added purpinator since I found it on sale, plant seems happy from this past week, great sign. :) May 2nd - pH 5.9 -> 6.2, PPM 1380 -> 1260, 2.5 EC, 80/69f, 36% humidity - adjusted pH, likes to read a bit higher than usual according to my pH strips (~.2ish I believe), added a bit of distilled water, PPM was a bit high when testing this morning no idea why though. The plant seems O.K. May 3rd - pH 6.3, PPM 1350, 2.7 EC, 77/68f, 55% humidity - I started to add humidity to the cabinet to keep temps down and to help during flowering, I've got it outside the cabinet plugged into a humidity inkbird set to 60% RH and it'll allow it to fall 12.5% before turning back on. (Not trying run it 24/7) May 4th - pH 6.2, PPM 1350, 2.7 EC, 79/72f, 57% humidity - The plant is chilling, notice maybe some yellow spots on some fan leaves, if this continues I will turn off the humidifier, as that's what happened last time... Also raised the lights again, I wonder how big this one will get. May 5th - pH 6.1 -> 6.3, PPM 1280, 2.6 EC , 77/73f, 50% humidity - upped pH a tiny bit, added water to lower PPM May 6th - pH 6.5 -> 5.9, PPM 1350, 2.7 EC, 75/72f, 42% humidity - adjusted pH and added a little bit of water May 7th - pH 6.1, PPM 1600, 3.2 EC, 78/68f, 44% humidity - bucket is low on water, didn’t want to add a whole thing just to change it tomorrow, will start with more water (3.5gal) and add more water throughout the week compared to this week, I have started to experience clawing, possibly due to nitrogen toxicity, hoping to fix this upcoming week. And a noticed a few tiny rust spots on leaves randomly on the plant (not like it’s just fans or just old or just new growth, it’s sorta spread? Hoping it’s calmag?) Plant looks nice otherwise

Week 1 veg! So first and for most I’m glad I started the extra master kush because the previous two did not make it. So the new guy made it into the tent today. Just a reminder the master kush is photoperiod feminized seed from nirvana. The blue dream as you can tell is has gotten nice and cozy the roots are currently out of the net pot and into water solution. So I’m expecting some major growth here this week. Did a full flush and them both sit in a ph’d water for a hour then added nutes. It is def starting to get hot now so I gotta get that window unit for the shed today not tomorrow. I honestly believe my fan just isn’t gonna cut it for the heat and is better safe then sorry. My set up allows me to close the tanks off via valve to give different nutrient mixes when the auto go into flower so That’s good any question you guys have lmk. Will be getting the scrong net set up with em the next couple weeks. But def need the a/c! Cheers!

7/12. Sorry I haven't updated. Been working long weeks. So, I got the tent stabilized. Humidity is at a constant 55%. I brewed a batch of compost tea made from fresh compost, worm castings, Urb, molasses, and Maxicrop Liquid Seaweed. I gave each plant about a half gallon each through a sprayer.
