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.

Discretamente bene direi. A parte purtroppo un dubbio di una ermafrodita, penso e spero di aver scongiurato il peggio eliminando tutti i bulbi sottostanti al fiore di ciascun apicale facendo la massima attenzione.
Ad ogni modo i fiori si stanno gonfiando parecchio, il profumo è invitante, i tricomi hanno un bell'aspetto. Vediamo come va a finire.. 🤞🏼🍀💪🏼

We picked up the cuttings for the GanjOS Lab from High4Life on December 30th and put them in our propagator for around 3 days for acclimatization.

Giorno 77
Il ciclo è finito e il diario verrà aggiornato tra 40 giorni circa non appena i fiori avranno fatto una bella concia.
Coltivarla è stato semplice e ci sono tantissimi fiorellini piccoli e molto duri. E' molto dolce ma non sento terpeni Zkittlez o Gelato.
A presto con l'aggiornamento finale 🖐️ 😘❤️

Runtz Automatic - Zamnesia
Day 63 - This beautiful girl is less than a week from harvest, so for the past two waterings sessions, she has received just pain RO tap water, pH'd to 6.3. This process is known as "flushing" and it is essential to remove salt built up in the soil and plant. I will flush her over the next few days, allowing her soil to dry back to around 10% before I flush her again - I will do this step three or four times before I harvest. I've also removed a good portion of her fan leaves, to allow any bud site that might have been covered, to get a final weeks worth of direct light.
Notes:
- she is foxtailing in some parts, but not in others and the PPFD is in a normal range (800-1200) for this stage, so I'm assuming this is a genetic defect!? The Papaya Zoap and Do-Si-Dos, which are directly to her left and right, are a couple of weeks behind, and are not showing signs of foxtailing... Either way, she is just for me, so I'm not too worried about it, if anything, it makes her more beautiful!
- her aroma is very sweet with some earthy undertones, very typical for Runtz.
- the color on her cola's has changed in places, from green to purple, which is just beautiful!
- around 90% of her trichomes are milky with around 2-5% being amber and 5% clear.
- the majority of her pistils have turned orange, with some white pistils appearing from new growth only.
- I could have started flushing her a few days earlier, but she still looked like she was bulking; that has now stopped.

Olá amigos, está semana que passou foi a 1° semana de floração 12/12. As minhas meninas estão uns monstros 🤩 tive que tirar a auto Gorilla do armário porque fiquei sem espaço para estas brutas crescerem a vontade 🤣 a runtz muffin, se eu não tivesse aplicado LST, já tinha quase 1 metro 🌲 embora não pareça.. a shiskaberry tb tenho aplicado LST é muito ramificada, muito linda, a BlueBerry og também é um poder de planta muito ramificada mas sem LST, há duas semanas só tenho regado com água pura, desde que apliquei as bactérias as plantas não necessitam de nutrientes crescem cheias de força, obrigado amigos ✌️🌱

Craaazyyyy weeks
Craaazyyyy growth
Loving it AAALLLL
Ok, so, this is the 5th week.
Plants started flowering during 4th. They've had massive growth (from my perspective and experience 😅😅) and started to smellll
I think I was consistent on that LST. Always trying to give all the heads as much light as possible. It was a lot of work, but I still loved it. Having 2 plants makes it more fun because I need to have a diferent point of view for each one.
S has been toped, and with LST I was able to have lots of heads very well positioned
B is responding marvelously to bending, wich makes it hard to bend because THERE IS NO MORE ROOM TO RUN TO 😂 she is growing a lot, and there's just to much leaves to tuck...
As I was saying they're different, wich I am loving
I decided to defoliate them as my last stress move towards the plants.
Cutted the leaves that were on the bottom and covering the top heads, and the very small, tiny, thiny side branches.
I am lowering the LST to minimum.
Since the heads I chose, now have space and LIGHT to grow at will, I want to not disturb them as much as I can.
You can see that when I defoliated them, there was light on the soil. And just in 1 day difference, even at this point, you almost can feel them grow! I was amased, because of the stress I had caused them.
Yet, look with attention, you can spot the differece.
(I hope you can see it too through the screen, because it's real 😅)
Look at the S. She is doing just greaaaaat. Think it was a good decision to top her. Hope it keeps growing as it is!
Smell is increasing
Day 30 changed the light to 24h ON.
Day 31
- Heads bigger
- !QUESTION!
-I always water the plants simultaneously. B's vase is noticeble heavier. Cant understand why... I'm going to start checking if they need to be watered at different times. I can only imagine that the root system is different, due to its "differences outside". But really! They have suffered different stress at different times... different root system = different drainage?
Food for thought
Day 32
Defoliated them because I thought they were too bushy. Felt like it maybe was a mystake, later, due to some recommendations i read...
Day 34
Plants seem to have reacted ok to defoliation, lets see how the next days go by
Day 36
Starting to get frosty and smelly
Plants seem healthy ❄️
TEMPERATURE: 22-27°C
RH: 40-60%
WATER PH: 6.2-6.5

These ladies are really starting to stretch their limbs.
I have reduced the indoor light to 17.5 hours and will continue to reduce the light 1/2 hour every ten days to match the 16 hour day on June 20th when I have scheduled to put them outside for good.
On warm days here I try to get them outside in the sunlight as much as possible.
They are busy and beautiful.

Grow Report Week 14: The Final Phase of Flowering is Approaching
Hello dear grow friends,
We’re starting a new week, and I’m pleased to report that everything is going well. Although the rear area of the grow is not yielding as lush results as the front, I am overall very satisfied, especially with the scents.
Scent and Resin
All plants really smell excellent and are well-resined, which indicates a good effect. I expect that the plants will need about 2-3 more weeks to mature.
Expectations and Hopes
I hope that especially the plants in the rear area will catch up a bit. The next few weeks will show how the buds will develop in their fullness and potency.
I look forward to sharing the progress with you and am curious to see what the coming time will bring. Until the next update!
Thank you for being there and all the best for your grows! 😊

First week of flushing.Here is my schedule for flushing with flawless finish.
First flushing is with just a LOT lot water.
Second flush:watering normal with flawless finish and flush after 20/24 Hours,let it sit overnight but be careful because trichomes will go crazy,if you don’t have enough milky trichomes this method will increase the trichome production immediately the next day.
Repeat this method until you are satisfied with the results but don’t go more than 12/15 days,im using flawless finish 3 times in total so use it at least twice.
24 hours flawless finish isn’t doing any damage extra than the 8 hour schedule that advanced Nutrients prefer,but after 24 hours will start to damage the plant so you need to give a good flush after using it
IM USING 1.5L WATER SO 2/2.5ml flawless finish

This was the runt of the bunch from the beginning and started flowering a week before the others.
Seemed like in veg it didn't have enough nitrogen (yellow/green leaves) and in flower it had too much causing the bottom new leaves to grow kinda mutated and dark green.
Even with those issues she still packed on solid dense buds covered in trichomes.
pulled off 253 grams wet after trimming and 57 grams of trim
will update with dry weight when ready

Just started flower, put the light a bit higher cause she was quite bushy and wanted her to stretch a little more
Fed her with the veg nutes one last time
She's looking absolutely ready
Defoliated and LST'ed again, should have done this in veg but she hadnt stretched enough yet
