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.

10.11.2022 130 giorni dal seme al raccolto 70 giorni tondi di fioritura 1590 grammi il peso a umido delle 2 piante, sicuramente un buon risultato in un box con all'interno altre 8 piante. La struttura della pianta si presenta con rami allungati tipicamente sativa, facilmente addestrabili sia con Scrog, sia con LST. Ho dovuto puntellare con aste reggi rami le infiorescenze che nelle ultime settimane piegavano i rami verso il basso. il profumo che emanano questi fiori è qualcosa di straordinario, vanno dal dolce e agrumano, mandarino limone e caramello, si intercettano note floreali di lavanda ed erbe aromatiche. Sicuramente aggiornerò il profumo e sopratutto il sapore ad asciugatura ultimata

Day 43: Smells ultra-strong in tent. I didn't know plants could smell like they are at this stage!👍 Found out I was under dosing the h2o2. Upped the dose and am now hoping for the best Day 45: Bud development is strong!!💪 Can't wait to see how hard the plant will let me push cola size.

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.

📆 Semana 8: La Candy Bubatz XL entra en la fase crítica de maduración. Los cogollos se engordan visiblemente y la resina ya forma una capa pegajosa que cubre flores y hojas cercanas. El aroma se intensifica con notas dulces y afrutadas más complejas, llenando el espacio de cultivo. Los pistilos empiezan a cambiar de color y algunos tricomas ya muestran tonos lechosos, señal de que el pico de potencia se acerca. La planta mantiene una estructura sólida y sigue respondiendo perfectamente al plan de nutrición y riego, sin síntomas de carencias ni estrés. ¡Seguimos creciendo fuerte! 💪

Week 4 Flower Report: The Spectacular Symphony of Blackberry Auto Greetings, fellow cultivators! As we reach the zenith of Week 4 in the flowering stage, my Blackberry Auto continues to astonish with her rapid progress and breathtaking beauty. Let's explore the vivid transformation and celebrate the splendor of this exceptional strain. Accelerated Growth and Blossoming Marvel: Week 4 has been nothing short of miraculous. Blackberry Auto's rapid growth shows no signs of slowing, with buds swelling and trichomes sparkling like morning dew. This is a true testament to her robust genetics and the nurturing environment provided. Ceasing Feedings for Natural Brilliance: Observing her accelerated progress, I've decided to halt all feedings, allowing Blackberry Auto to naturally showcase her intrinsic beauty. This decision underscores my trust in her resilience and the rich soil that continues to support her spectacular development. A Kaleidoscope of Colors: One of the most captivating aspects of Week 4 is the stunning array of colors. Blackberry Auto's buds and leaves are a visual masterpiece, transitioning through shades of deep purple, vibrant magenta, and even hints of dark blue. Each hue tells a story of her lineage and the care she has received. Tender Care and Natural Expression: Despite halting feedings, the tender care and gentle guidance continue. Low-stress training methods are still employed to ensure optimal light exposure and even bud distribution. This natural approach fosters a sense of harmony and balance, allowing Blackberry Auto to express her full potential. Anticipation and Deep Gratitude: As we witness the dazzling display of colors and the rapid progression of bud formation, anticipation for the harvest reaches new heights. I extend my deepest gratitude to @fastbuds_official for creating this botanical masterpiece. To Aptus Holland, my main sponsor, your unwavering support has been instrumental in this journey. Special thanks to Grow Diaries for providing a platform to document and share this incredible experience, and to the community for your shared passion and support. As we conclude the fourth week of flowering, I invite you to join me in celebrating the breathtaking transformation of Blackberry Auto. This journey is a testament to the wonders of cultivation and the magic of nature. Let's continue to revel in the beauty and promise of this extraordinary plant. Genetics Blackberry Auto @Fast_Buds Food - @aptusholland @aptus_world As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and blessed with you all in my life

Evening fellow growers hope you all had a great weekend. Massive shout to James @RQS for supplying the beans for my current grow. ⚠️ I add photos as the week progress so please stop by and check out the progress. Day 29 the start of week 5, we have entered flower. Let’s hope for some stretch now. Really happy with how they are progressing. Still trying to figure out why the big one at the back is looking sad. She is growing at a rate of knots so I’m bamboozled to say the least! Watered last night will introduce some flower nutrients this week. Day 31, watered today upped the amount to 1 litre also started with some bloom. Will add some photos either day or tomorrow. ✌️ Day 32, nothing to report just letting them do their thing. 👊🏻 Day 35, not been a good couple days. The dodgy looking one at the back is no longer part of the crew. She tried and I gave her all the best help I could but she just stopped growing. The bud sites were like nothing I have ever seen before I really don’t know what happened. The other mimosa is doing fine. She is stretching and the bud sites are looking good. Watered last night with plain water. Will probs give her one more feed of grow then onto the bloom. ✌️ Once again thank you all for the love and likes on the current diary. ✌️

One more week to go! This has defiantly been a fun grow for sure and I think if I run a single plant like this again I will have a 10-15g pot. I also will fill my scrog net and give it a week of two and flip to grow a taller canopy. This week the trichomes are really starting to turn. Bud is VERY dense and packed full of crystals. Smell is crazy strong. I’m picking up citrus and fruit loops without a doubt so I wonder how it’s going to smell after dry/cure. Buds are pretty nice sized as you can see from the comparison of the lighter. The thing is I’ll have over 150 of them tops I believe… haha Nothing has changed this week. I have started to remove any old fan leaf that has been spent. My plan is to slowly remove as many as I can that are pretty much spent by the time I harvest so I do not have to spend much time on that when I cut her down. I have started only water feeding with about 3 gallons of water each feed to leach out any build up. Will do this daily. Hopefully next weeks update will be a lot of harvest shots.

🌸🌿 Week 3: Blooms Unleashed! 😁 The stretch has gracefully come to an end, and now, the buds are making their grand entrance! 😁 Standing tall, our Lemon Orange proves to be a formidable presence, prompting the need for some strategic topping and ScrOG to keep its height in check. Growth Management: Given its impressive stature, a little intervention with topping and ScrOG is in order to ensure the plant stays within bounds. It's all about orchestrating the dance of growth. Aromas in Bloom: As the buds unfurl, so do the enchanting aromas. A symphony of citrus notes fills the air, signaling the flourishing flower stage. The pace is exhilarating, promising a delightful harvest in the making. Nutrient Nurturing: In the spirit of balance, I've opted for a mindful approach, utilizing only 80% of the recommended nutrients by Terra Aquatica. It's a careful dance to provide just what our Lemon Oranges needs for optimal growth and flavor development. The stage is set, and our Lemon Orange beauties are gearing up for a floral spectacle. With each passing week, the anticipation for the harvest grows, and the journey unfolds in a crescendo of green and citrusy bliss! 🌼🍊🌿

No fertilizer this week. I harvested the Apricot and the Pound Cake. I will wait one more week for the Orange Sherbet because it doesn't seem ready even if it's in the Fast Buds harvest range. This week should be the last "flowering" week, next ones will be the harvests. I don't want to add another flowering week just for the Orange Sherbet, there will be nothing to see that will not be included in the harvest. During half of the grow, the weather was really bad, especially for the summer period. The worst weather was during the vegetative phase. The plants didn't receive enough light which resulted in poor roots and leaves development. Because of that, the plants didn't have the chance to grow nice buds even if the sun was there during most of the flowering phase. Last summer, I grew a Tropicana Cookies (also from Fast Buds) in a tiny pot at the exact same spot and had better results despite the smaller pot. I didn't record the sun for that year but the weather was better from what I remember. I'm disapointed by the weather but cannot blame the plants. You cannot expect beautiful plants and buds if they don't have light 😞 In the end, my summer grows are more like bonus grows (my main grows are under a light in the winter) and I make them just for fun and to be able to taste new weeds without too much investment. So, mission accomplished 😎 Parameters : ------------------------------------------- Humidity range : 30-70% depending on the sun Temperature range : 22-30°C depending on the sun SUN Average : sunny
