Hey Grow Diaries fam, We’ve reached Week 12, which marks Week 8 of flowering, and our PCRs are entering the final stretch! This is a crucial time in our grow, and we've made some significant changes to our routine to ensure the best possible finish for our beloved plants. Overview Our PCRs are looking absolutely stunning, with buds swelling to their full potential and trichomes sparkling like diamonds. This week, we’ve shifted our focus to flushing and preparing the soil for future use. Environment and Conditions Tent: 3x3, kept clean and efficient for optimal growing conditions. Lighting: ViparSpectra P2000, still providing the perfect spectrum as we approach harvest. Watering: TDS at 130, pH 6.8, and water temperature at 21°C, a significant shift from our previous nutrient-rich regimen. Nutrient Regimen This week, we’ve stopped all nutrient feedings and switched to using Aptus Holland Enzym+ exclusively. Here’s why: Aptus Holland Enzym+: This enzyme product is designed to break down dead root material and organic matter, converting it into usable nutrients for the plant. This process helps in: Clearing Residual Nutrients: Ensuring that the plants use up any remaining nutrients in the soil. Improving Soil Health: Enhancing the soil's microbial life, which is crucial for future grows. Promoting Clean Finish: Helping to ensure a smoother, cleaner taste in the final product by reducing excess nutrients and salts in the buds. The shift to Enzym+ at this stage is about preparing the plants for harvest and also ensuring that the soil can be reused effectively. Growth and Development The PCRs are in their final flowering phase, and they look incredible. With the nutrients now being flushed out, we’re focusing on maximizing the quality of the final buds. The leaves are starting to fade, signaling that the plants are using up their stored nutrients, which is exactly what we want to see at this stage. Soil Reuse One of the key advantages of using Aptus Holland products, especially Enzym+, is the ability to reuse the soil. Here’s how we do it: Soil Conditioning: The enzymes break down organic matter, improving soil structure and fertility. Microbial Boost: Enhances microbial activity, which is essential for nutrient cycling and soil health. Cost-Effective: Reusing soil reduces costs and minimizes waste, making our grow more sustainable. By reusing the soil, we ensure that our next grow starts with a rich, healthy medium, full of beneficial microbes and ready to support another batch of robust plants. Reflections This week has been all about transitioning our plants from heavy feeding to a clean finish. The Aptus Holland Enzym+ is doing its job beautifully, and the PCRs are responding well. The reduced TDS and adjusted pH are ensuring that we’re flushing out any residual nutrients, setting us up for a top-notch harvest. Shout Outs A huge shout out to: Aptus Holland: Your products make every stage of this grow a success. Enzym+ is a game-changer! Art Genetix: The PCRs continue to impress with their vigor and quality. Grow Diaries Community: Your support and advice are invaluable. Here’s to another fantastic week of growing! Stay positive, keep those good vibes flowing, and let’s get ready for a bountiful harvest.

todo muy bien! esperando paciente el desarrollo de los cogollos, conociendo y viendo los puntos de maduracion asi como la fertilizacion ajustando a su maximo que creemos posible para incentivar que los cogollos engorden, ahora en adelante les hare segumiento de la grande principalmente, que es la que cumple con la edad del diario, ya que las otras como se explico en un principio venian recien cultivadas por eso tienen un par de semanas de retraso , tambien hay una hermafrodita, que al detectar como comentamos semanas anteriores aplicamos al tecnica vista de un cultivador mexicano, consistia en romper los brotes de machos las pelotas con el fin de que no vuelvan a salir, dejando solo los pelos estigmas de las hermbras, si bien el cogollo queda maltratado, al parecer se detiene el crecimiento, asi que estamos viendo como rinde ese experimento.

Hi Gromie's everything going awesome in the flowering tent, open the tent & its like hitting a wall of smell hard at high speed!!! Harvested the Orange sherbet clone at the front of the tent at week 8 day 56. Considering all that she had been through early on she produced some really nice sized frosty & dense & very sticky buds. The other 2 are getting close as well.

High GD community, Week 8, Sweet Thai doing fine, but trips got to her 2, like all other plants, and now its waiting for the predatory bugs to arrive and do their thing. I think the best way ist to wait for the bugs to arrive, get them at work for minimum 2 says and only at that time, ill switch to 13/11. If everything comes on time, maybe thursday, but friday should be the goal. Ive ordered 100 bugs, needing 5 to 10 at each plant, so it will just fit the needs. When the trips invasion is defeated, the bugs need pollen to survive, so the small flowers in the plantmix is a plus for that. That will be it for this week boys and girls, Thanks for reading and passing by, Grow safe buds and feel free to check out my other ladies doing fine, 🙏🌿🌿🌿🙏

In week 9 my 'Fruity Terp' ladies have grown substantially and filled out the space in my HOMEBOX growtent. Therefore its time to do a round of defoliation. I take out my plants one by one and cut off the lowest branches on the stem (the ones not grown tall enough to get good light) and also the biggest fan-leaves (the ones shading the lower part of the canopy). The defoliation will increase the airflow thru my plants, which will in turn help to avoid mold from a build-up of humidity between the leaves. The light can now also penetrate deeper into the canopy now and therefore lower buds will also get more light and can grow bigger. The SANlight EVO4-120 LEDs are doing a GREAT job, my babies love their spectrum and intensity and grow like hell. The nutrients from BIO NOVA work EXCELLENT, all plants have a nice healthy green color. Since we are further in flowering now, I also add PK 13-14 from BIO NOVA following their 'SOIL-CULTIVATION' schedule.

Started using Canna Boost about a week ago. Noticeable increase in growth and dank. Using 1ml per Liter in the reservoir. I was hesitant because of the high price but this stuff is great. After playing around with the Masterblend ratios and weights I feel pretty confident in my current mix. What I thought to be tip burn from nitrogen turned out to be the early stage of Calcium deficiency. As Nitrogen and Calcium come in the form of Calciumnitrate you can't drop the N without the Ca. To avoid this I bought Canna Mono Calcium with 11.6% Ca. Now I am able to dial the N down to 120-130ppm and keep my Calcium at about 150ppm. Anything lower than 120ppm of Calcium starts to show deficiency symptoms. Same goes for the Nitrogen, 120ppm is the absolut minimum right now. I am also going to increase the Magnesium to 50ppm with the next tank refill. I am pretty happy with the Masterblend 4-18-38, Calnit 15,5-0-0 and Epsom Salt bundle. You don't have to buy a seperate flowering blend if you get a mono calcium fertilizer. The plant loves the Masterblend. Looks way better then when using Canna AB...

Como las veía familia? Yo las veo verdes, sanas y con muy buen ritmo, no olvidemos que pueden llegar alcanzar un 25% thc y eso está crazy 😝. La temperatura mínima son 17 y la máxima esta en 27 , la humedad la mantenemos por encima de 50%. Esta cepa es resistente aguanta bien los cambios de temperatura y el trasplante ayudó a mejorar su ritmo. Las pasamos a 12/12 esta semana y pronto empezaremos con la floración.

So I was in week 2 with the Cream Mandarin when I realized I was not happy with her growth for what I want her to do, and it was totally my fault, and not the Breeder, so I decided to re-start as to represent Sweet Seeds properly as they have sent me pretty much whatever I have requested. I was attempting to start seeds in coco coir, which was very tough to satisfy the coco with Cal-mag and not burn the seedlings in the process. So I started using ProMix seedling starter and have been very happy with it so far. The other issue I ran into was satisfying the humidity levels for my seedlings, and also keeping my flowering auto happy. So, my final decision was to purchase a small 2x2 tent to double as a seedling tent and a drying tent. I hooked up a little 4 inch exhaust fan, put a heat mat on the floor, a small fan, and a Spider Farmer SF1000, a hydrometer, and a humidifier which is keeping it around 70% RH even with the little exhaust fan running 24/7. The toughest part of learning to grow Cannabis for me has been days 3-17. Once I get there I seem to be good. If anyone has any tips please hit me up. Thanks for stopping by, be safe, and Blaze On!

Here we are again! Flower Switch happened on Day 37, so in the middle of week 6, but for simplicity, i will condense the last Days of Veg into this here week 6. So a few days are missing from the final week count as i want to keep flowering weeks seperated from weg. Just keep in mind that she's about 3 days older then the week here would suggest. Its the end of the first flowering week and we can already spot lots of pistils, and the tops are getting ready to bud up! I defoliated her once before the flip and once on Day 43 because im scissor happy. Also, she was getting REALLY bushy, as you can see on the timelapse. Feeding is still the same 6L, around 6.0 PH, 5ml/L Grow and 1ml/L powerrots, will keep that going as long as shes stretching, then ill switch to flower nutes. Happens now every 3 days, though i suspect that it might be every 2 days soon, she is getting hungry. Pot is already somewhat light again and i watered her yesterday at the time of writing 😱😮

Week 12 During this week I will continue to flush the plant only with water. I guess that this could be the last week, let's see what trichomes will say! D79: added 5 liters of tap water to continue the flush. The plants has stunning colourful buds! D81: added 5 liters of water. Trichomes check: there is a quite good balance between amber and milky; two days to the harvest. D83: end of the journey!
