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 21ยฐC. This ensures the nutrients are perfectly balanced and readily available. Nutrient Regimen Weโ€™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 โ€“ 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 couldnโ€™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! Hereโ€™s to another fantastic week of growing! Stay positive, keep pushing forward, and enjoy every moment of this beautiful journey.

Beginning of week.. This is the last and final week for sure for sure lol.. That makes 10 weeks from 12/12.. And by the trichomes they should both be prefect!.. With the Mandarin Cookiea having just a tad bit more amber than the ETHOS Cookies.. They both should have plenty.. This week may be cut a day short.. Because the only day I can find time to harvest will be the day before the next week starts.. The last day of the week (end of week).. And I want to go ahead and try the 48 hours of darkness thing once more.. To see if it may have any effect.. I guess if alot of people already do it.. What can it hurt??.. Anyways.. Still just giving rainwater.. Lately it has gone down on the PPM side.. Niceeee.. I was going to get some distilled and run it through (0 - 10 PPM) but the rainwater is at 15 - 17 PPM.. That's close enough for me.. Maybe still run a gallon of distilled the day before I begin the 48 hours of darkness thing-a-ma-doodle lol.. Today.. This is what happened... Going in: 17 PPM at 6.9 pH for both.. Run off: Mandarin Cookies was 100 PPM at 5.9 pH and the ETHOS Cookies was 54 PPM at 6.0 pH.. I think the Mandarin Cookies needs to be flushed a bit more before I feel comfortable with the flushing.. I believe its fine to not flush for a whole 2 weeks at 0 PPM or whatever.. But I do like to get it down pretty low by harvest time.. But I think everything will be fine.. Just gotta make sure I dont fuck up the drying ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ˜ฌ Mid week.. Almost there!!! So excited! Can't wait! Got both runoffs at 50 PPM.. Just been watering as usual.. Both of these strains are going to be epic af! I think tomorrow will be the last day of lights on.. Going to begin the pre-harvest dark period to hopefully increase trichome/thc production or whatever it does ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ if this bud ends up better than anything I've ever grown then I will do it every grow!.. But we shall see!!! End of week.. No pics this update.. They are both bathing in complete darkness for a couple days then CHOP!... Haven't even peaked at them.. They both should be on point! So happy for this to be just days away from going into jars!!! I've already cut a small branch from the Mandarin Cookies and dried it for 5 days.. A little faster then I wanted.. But wow.. It tasted immaculate.. I removed every leaf I could.. Leaving just the calyxes.. No chlorophyll.. Not really enough to get a buzz from.. Plus that was like 2 weeks ago.. So it was still too early for any decent amounts of THC.. But the taste is delicious af!.. I will take some pics before the chop and post them for the "end of this week" since it is going to be a day early anyway.. End of week.. Nvm lol.. Took some pics before harvesting and here they are! Even a sneak peak at the drying in the tent.. May be awhile till I post the harvest.. Want to make sure I give the best review on these ladies as I can! Hells yeah!!! So dank!

7. Woche Halbzeit denke ich, North Thunderfuck Auto entwickelt sich gut, sie hat die Umstellung auf den groรŸen Topf noch nicht vollends ausgebaut, die Wurzelstruktur und Masse war bei ihr in dem Stadium am geringsten. Sonst bin ich soweit zufrieden, Morgen gibt es wieder Dรผnger ๐Ÿ˜Š

A lot of rain and wind, continuously. Temps have dropped as well. Iโ€™m reading another week or two to chop this plants. Sativa dominant hybrids did the best, the Fastberry and the banana purple punch did not really develop as the other two. In specifics the cbd crack developed sizable buds, and the blue dream as well, the flowers are not as developed tight and dense as in the indoor grow. A bit of fox-tailing nothing too expressive. Minimal work, as per the setup chosen, an no extra nutes this week.

Flowering continues, not seeing trichomes darken or get cloudy yet. Bought a small dehumidifier and fit it inside the tent which helped manage the RH. Started removing some fan leaves every other day to give maximum light exposure to the buds. Also changed the watering schedule from to every other day instead of every two days.

Welcome to my diary of the Misty Gorlla by Zambeza seeds looking nice, popped of the soil, i noticed it today and took some pictures This strain won the first prize in the Higtimes cup in 2015 for section: Hybrid so that sounds very promising i'm using re-used soil for this one, so i can add some guano at proper level on clean soil.

Since the last thorough watering a week ago, they havenโ€™t needed any extra water and have been growing nicely. But yesterday it was 38 degrees in Berlin again, so I took that as an opportunity to start watering the Autopots. Iโ€™m uploading a video showing the reservoir filling with water - be warned, though, it's extremely boring. Unlike other countries in Central Europe, there are currently no major forest fires in Germany. However, the heat means the air is unusually humid. Instead of seeping into the soil, rain evaporates straight away. In many places, people are already banned from watering their gardens because there isnโ€™t enough groundwater. It just makes me so sad and angry. Itโ€™s good to have an indoor grow box where I can control some of the environmental factors. Otherwise, my little hobby would be in serious jeopardy this year. And by the way, in case youโ€™re interested: Discount code for the BIOTABS Webshop https://biotabs.nl/en/shop/ GDBT420 This gives you 15 Percent off all the products. I definitely recommend giving them a try!

What a week, So I did a run off test end of last week and they was really high, but I would like to address the DNA Mills cork as I am using this in just one pot (A) to try it out I used 3/4 (B) to my normal coco in another pot 50:50 (C) in another at a 1/4 (D) then when just my normal coco mix ( E) and I havent seen much difference other then the retention of water... UNTILL NOW. So evaluating all my reading I have from run off this is how it WAS sitting running water with an EC 0.7 Ms/cm A - 2.4 Ms/cm B - 2.3 Ms/cm C - 2.0 Ms/cm D - 1.9 Ms/cm E - 1.5 Ms/cm So my conclusion is that I dont like the cork maybe I'm using it wrong somehow I dont know but in my experience, it seems to be grabbing hold of all the salts and not letting go, so this week I ran litres and litres of water through them to bring them down I can only get A down to 1.4 Ms/cm and am struggling to get it any further down does anyone have any suggestions. As for the deficiency I was supposed to I produce the PK booster beginning of this week and couldn't with the run off being so high, well that's what I'm hoping anyways ๐Ÿ˜‚. Plant A doesn't seem to be swelling like the rest (front left in pictures) I'm hoping this is down to genetics if anyone else has any thought I'd love to hear them. Thanks for dropping in and reading, Happy Growing! ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‘

week 3 flower is going great. I increased my UVA lights to 8 hrs on. Gsc and Blueberry have decent bud-lets already on day 17. OG kush has preflowers. waiting on Blueberry muffin to show pre fowers should be soon. At the end of week 3 GSC and Blueberry are doing the best and starting to get more trichomes. Im waiting on OG kush And Blueberry Muffin to really get going!

Hello my companions. I have been very busy with work lately and have spent very little time on my cultivation diaries. Soon I will be completely free, so I dedicate every minute to my plants and make a big tent. My Neville is 15 weeks old. It's the longest auto-blooming plant I've ever grown. I decided to give him 16 weeks to live and then harvest. I also started to prepare new plants for new diaries, but due to lack of time they were standing on the window without intense light for more than 3 days. Now I'm still germinating 2 plants to start a new diary of 8 plants. In General, I have very big plans and ambitions, and I hope that everything will be fine. I can't wait to finish the main work to fully devote myself to the plant.

MONDAY 5/19 12AM The Witches Wedding started growing balls so I hope she doesnt pollenate these!!! 5/30/25 3am!! ๐Ÿšจ THREE COLA VS.4 COLA EXPERIMENT. Today I'll be doing a weight comparison. It looks as iff 3 cola may perform as well as a 4 cola while giving extra space for air and leaf growth. I like 3 or 4 plants in the small tents. I ENJOY growing and getting to know all the different kinds of strains. SO 3 COLA, in 1 gallon, small space limited fresh air, limited power OR. heat will kill everything. lack of space means lack of air movement. If I can get the same amount from 3 colas THEN I can grow SAFLEY without PROBLEMS from lack of light or air....... more plants fewer colas but the SAME amount of weed. Todays weight test should either prove or disprove 3 colas in small spaces 3 plants 9 main colas with training to make SURE its a transfer of energy without entropy. suck on that fucknewton, he was a loser. I shit on your 2nd law of motion. ๐Ÿšจ 630am Just weighed both plants: THREE COLA 26.67. FOUR COLA 28.75 ounce. WHAT 4 COLA is bigger? Not necessarily. PER COLA the 3 cola plant has 8.89 PER COLA. FOUR COLA has 7.1875 ounce. 1.7025oz difference. 3 Cola has more viable buds at the bottom of the plant because of the extra light and airflow!! CONCLUSION: IM LIGHTYEARS AHEAD OF MY TIME. nope it was the energy drink. Taking into consideration I dont like trimming and each cola can be easily lightly trimmed (I dont grow to keep leaves for shake, not worth the mess) then hung to dry, then cut the buds off directly into Grove Terp. Loc bag with minimal trimming and it's DONE. NO STUPID trim jail, big mess....none of that. clean and simple. BOTH the plants are dry therefore the per cola including the whole plant is not a final it's a pretty good indicator. 230pm Water with 10+10 Con pH 5.8. the video I uploaded wont play, I cut the sound and try a ..STONED GENIE order..I got one broken 64 dollar land the 12 inch 19 dollar black double percolator was TOTAL GARBAGE!!!!! it had a fake 10 star review.... at least I got 2 4 inch down stems for 117 .....complete WASTE of money, should have just thrown the money in the garbage.......... so pissed.... .๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ.STONED GENIE order..I got one broken 64 dollar land the 12 inch 19 dollar black double percolator was TOTAL GARBAGE!!!!! it had a fake 10 star review.... at least I got 2 4 inch down stems for 117 .....complete WASTE of money, should have just thrown the money in the garbage.......... so pissed....๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ ๐Ÿšจcant get videos to upload and play, might delete everything. not one fucking video plays, when I talk into the phone it doesnt save text....I will be deleting all diaries and this account. 5/25 413am HOLDY shitlt they are looking amazing, OHLY 93 WATTS!!!!!! not much heat, no bad burns with the lights close good air they are very very happy and healthy. what a massive difference from autos, I forgot how much you get, but I love autos too.

420 Fastbuds Week 5 Amnesia Zkittlez Auto Hey grow fam hoping all is well with everyone's grows. This week has been good for these two amazing beautiful plants. The smaller one decided to start growing upward finally instead of stacking up super tight between branches. The bigger one while doing a defoliation and lollipoping I notice what looked like pollin sacks on a couple of the lower nodes. I plucked them off and figured I'll keep an eye out for more. All in all both are growing fantastic from the looks so will keep the same routine up. Happy Growing
