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.

🐱 These plants are growing painfully slow, i've never really seen anything like it, they look healthy just premature for their age.. we'll keep them going a little while longer, they might just be slow starters.. thanks for reading! ❤️💡🌱

This plant is growing well, I transplanted them this week into 3 gallon pots from 1 gallon pots. Structure on this plant is pretty nice and visually pleasing to the eye lol.

She's growing so fast. I was just watering the rockwool cube whenever it dried out but I put it in the net pot today and covered it in LECA clay pellets. I topped her yesterday as well. PH and ppm look good. I'm just going to plug in the dripper every once in a while until the roots start growing through the net pot. I don't want the rock wool to be submerged. The top is covered with clay now so shouldn't be susceptible to mold from the light reaching it.
Looking at my last grow (CBD Blue Shark / Wedding Cake) I didn't provide enough light or nutrients at the start and wasn't able to top until week 6. Growing in peat/rockwool instead of paper towel/soil, adding nutrients right away, and using the HID grow light from the start instead of a smaller cloning light seem to have made a big difference.

En esta actualización se incluyen 2 semanas ya que por trabajo me fue imposible añadir la semana anterior.
El día 15 de Agosto recibió la segunda pulverización de Bacillus Thuringiensis para prevenir el ataque de las orugas.
Sigo alternando riego de agua un día con riego de Ascophillum Nodosum al día siguiente. He dejado de regar con Cannazym.

It was a fairly busy week for this fine lady. No one likes their lady too bushy, right, 😉 so I have been cleaning up lower growth every 2-3 days as of late.
I also put her in a 20 gallon pot this week and that was a bigger challenge then I anticipated 😅😅. First I had to get her untied. Then I didn’t quite get her tied down as well as I had her in the 10 gallon pot but she is still nicely laid out IMO.
I may have to adjust how she is tied down in the weeks to come as these genetics can really stretch out!!
Stay tuned
😎🍿🍻🌱

She is much prettier than she was a week ago :) I remembered that I have my first grow light, which is more compact and it will give me more space, so I changed my light, now the girl's side branches get light too:) I add a lot of video memes, because I really want to win Iphone16 pro ;) and those who don't take risks don't drink champagne:) good luck to everyone.

Que pasa familia, empezamos la primera semana de floración de estas Original de GrowBarato.
Y es que no veáis de un momento a otro se quedaron sin espacio, vaya estirón esta última semana.
Están bastante sanas , tienen muy buen color, se practicó una limpia de bajos y ramas que no eran necesarias porque no llegaran a la luz.
Hasta ahora todo bien y ya superamos esta primera semana.
Agrobeta:
https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo
Mars hydro:
Code discount: EL420
https://www.mars-hydro.com/
Las maximas de temperatura no superan los 26 grados y las mínimas no bajan 20, así que no me puedo quejar.
Los niveles de humedad también son los correctos van entre 50%/65% de humedad relativa.
Por supuesto el Ph lo estamos dejando alrededor de 6.
Hasta aquí es todo, buenos humos 💨💨💨.

Welcome to week 18 of my grow diary. As expected, growth has stopped. In the middle of the week I removed underdeveloped shoots that were covered by leaves. I also removed the lower fan leaves to ensure better aeration and additional leaves that were on the inside. The buds are slowly becoming denser and denser.
See you next week ✌️

Day 64, 22nd of November 2021:
Hi there! Here we go..... so basically pistils are appearing stronger this is the 2nd weeks since they started producing pre flowers.
The plants getting a bit light might be some air circulation problem? However they look good and of course closer to the end the gettin' older so the leaves also die.
Set up and timing is the same since flower season started.
ViparSpectra XS2000 is on full power which is 240W so 100% capacity.
Ventilation: 12 hours period when the lamp is on it switches 1 hour on and after one hour off mostly to keep the temperature and of course because of fresh air flow. When the lamp is off it switches on in every 2 hours for 15 min at the same time with the extraction fan.
The extraction fan is on 12 hours when the lamp is, and then it switches on in every 2 hours for 30 min.
That's all a bit more water for them from today also. Humidity quite the same approx 50%, temperature as well approx 26-27 Celsius.
Fertilization remains the same since last week, the BioBizz family raised up to be 2ml/L each so it is like 2ml/L of BioGrow, 2ml/L of BioBloom, 2ml/L of TopMax... see the ratio above.
The schedule of the fertilization has not changed happnes 2x a week except epsom salt just 1x a week.

11.5. - Entering new week with fattening buds and smelly growbox. I'm really excited for the harvest now, however still couple weeks left. Watered 💧
14.5. - Damn, all that high humidity made some damage. To be specific I'm having issues with rust fungi. Next time I have to lower the amount of plants in my box as I don't have enough space and airflow. Watered 💧
17.5. - Watered 💧

Bienvenidos amigos, a mi octava semana de floración... mi nombre creo que es Amnesia, soy algo olvidadiza 😵, mi apellido es Kush y desciendo de antiguos linajes Haze y Kush, soy fruto del mestizaje de plantas emigrantes y reúno en mis genes las mejores sativas de dos continentes...llámame AKU!! 😘
Sigo engordando mis brotes florales para deleite de mi jardinero, me encuentro muy cómoda en mi carpa, con mi maceta y la dieta que mi cultivador me da... I loved 😍
He consumido 3860ml de agua de riego en los últimos 7 días, un 20% más que la semana anterior.
03/04/21
Mi vida continúa en paz... mi brotes florales son cada día más grandes, mis ramas son muy fuertes y soportarán todo el peso, soy chaparra como mi abuela Kush y fuerte como mis parientes Haze.
Agradezco a mi jardinero que no me atara las ramas, y me dejara formar mi figura modelándola sólo con la luz... I loved! 😍... yo tengo un sueño... por la liberación de todas las ramas atadas y torturadas!!
Hoy me han hecho un riego muy sabroso y nutritivo con un bio preparado de frutas y minerales con Microorganismos Eficientes (MMA, BAL, vitaminas, aminoácidos, Ca, Mg, Fe, Cu, B, Si...) al 1,5%, aderezado con un 1% de Humato de leonardita PK y endulzado con un poco de melaza... PH: 6,62, EC: 1.35. 1000ml.
05/04/21
He consumido mi último riego, mi cultivador parece satisfecho conmigo, dice que el color obscuro y la salud de mis hojas es especial, pues se diferencian mucho de las de mis compañeras de carpa, a pesar de que comemos muchas veces lo mismo. Aunque todavía tengo las hojas manchadas del rociado con azufre de la semana pasada, ya no me importa, porque ha hecho desaparecer el oidio y las arañas, y poco a poco se irán limpiando, además, mis hojas no han vuelto a mostrar síntomas de carencias o excesos de nutrientes.
Hoy mi cultivador me ha hecho un riego suave sólo con agua y un poco de melaza, que me ayudará a asimilar los nutrientes que se han quedado en mi sustrato de riegos anteriores. PH: 6.53. EC: 0.55. 900ml.
Mi jardinero nos pide continuamente que le sonriamos, con la belleza de nuestras flores, dice que divertirse y ser feliz es importante para nuestra salud y la de él 😵... y para nadie se aburra, vamos a hacer una fiesta, el día que cumpla 17 semanas de vida, el jefe va a llamar a su amigo Frank que canta muy bien... espero que no sea otro de sus amigos raros! 😳
07/04/21
Hoy he tenido un riego profundo con nutrientes que me ayudan mucho ha crecer mis flores. Cada día necesito más agua de riego, mi metabolismo está disparado!... I loved! 😍
Una mezcla de riego con ácidos húmicos y fúlvicos, fósforo y potasio (Humato PK) al 1,5%, Microorganismos de Montaña Activados (MMA Basic), que ayudan también a acidificar la mezcla, al 1% y melaza para endulzar.
09/04/21
Hoy a sido el gran día, mi cumpleaños de 17 semanas, todas las plantas de la carpa estamos nerviosas, hemos pedido a nuestro cultivador una ducha de agua sobre las hojas para estar más lustrosas!!
Franky es maravilloso y muy guapo, todas nos hemos enamorado de él, creo que mi cultivador se quedó algo celoso! 😃... hicimos coros y lo pasamos muy bien...
When you're smilin', when you're smilin'
The whole world smiles with you... 😍
Voy a descansar que ha sido un día muy ajetreado... hasta la próxima queridos cultivadores.
Hacer felices a vuestras plantas y crecerán más y mejor...When you're laughin', when you're laughin', The sun comes shinin' through... 😍
SALUDOS A TODOS... ME LLAMO AKU ¿QUIERES JUGAR CONMIGO? 😘

7 th week of flower. They stopped putting on size. Now they put on some mass and mature. No happy with the colours. Maybe ec was too low in the beginning. Next time I will try to bump the ec up in the first stage of flowering and reduce gradually.

2020-08-11 Another week gone by... Plant 01 is still fattening up, drinking normally. Plant 02 has been completely choked out of the lights so it's not doing very well. Keeping the nutrients the same as they are both pretty steadily drinking. Some death amongst the lower leaves on plant 02 and the buds are getting trichomes but not getting very fat. Plant 01 is very dense and sticky af. Excited to harvest in a couple weeks!
The tent is definitely ugly as hell and the vegetative state clearly went on for about 2 weeks too long (first time grower) while I messed up the nutrients and other things that caused them to grow slowly. The 2nd plant never really recovered. I have continued defoliating and super-cropping plant 01 away from the light and keeping the distances even... It's an ugly canopy, can't wait for the next one so I can get it right!!
