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.

May 24th : Went on a mini vacation and came back to my girls just growing strong!! wooo! can't wait to see these girls just explode as i'm flipping them to flower tonight! I'll be adjusting their nutrients soon and logging that as well! Tonight I just did a plain water / flush on the girls. Going to slowly lower the lights down to probably around 12 - 14 inches and try to keep it at around that height for the rest of the grow! It blows my mind how quickly these things have shot up.. Guess they don't call it weed for no reason!! P.S. The brackets i'm using to hold up my fans are actually an Ikea Wine bottle holder that my wife had, I cut it into three pieces cleaned it all up and zip tied it to the pole. Then hung the fans from the top of the tent with a quick adjust light rope. Now all I gotta do is push the fan up or down to where I want and tighten the light rope! works great!! May 25th : Got a new little Hanging bulb for in the tent that I can move around for pictures. I'm thinking i'm going to pick up another but it sure helped with the overexposed photo's! Can't believe how much they shot up over their first night at 12/12. This is going to be insane! May 26th : Opened the tent to pretty much all the girls praying! Sadly I must have miss watered the front right one. Oh well Soaked her good I'm sure she will be rocking again in no time.. Stretched them out a bit more after the photo's. I think maybe only a few more days of really finishing the LST with the scrogg net. May 27th : Welp even after lst and bending the hell out of these girls after last night's photo, they are showing no signs of slowing down! It's beautiful! Had to move my lights up about 5 inches as they shot up so close! May 28th : I am officially done with all lst and hst training and i'm gonna let them grow wild! Going to do another 1/3 str veg nute feeding tonight it will be their last veg feeding from this point on i'll be onto the flowering cycle of nutes. I plan on starting all Flower nutes at 1/2 strength and ramp up according to how the girls respond. Saw my first signs of Budding tonight Sorry for the overexposed pic on it but I realized it after the lights came on! I'll take more close ups tomorrow! (edit: changed my mind! decided to just go ahead and start all the flowering nutes also! will update log) May 29th : Not a whole lot to report, had to move my fans up as the girls were growing dangerously close. It's amazing to see this stretch, and to imagine it's hardly even started! May 30th : Opened my tent up to an explosion of growth. Humidity levels were way higher than what I wanted due to lack of air movement through and under the canopy. Decided it would be best to Get to the Lollipopping tonight. Put up some before and after pics of our crazy lollipopping adventure! Can't help but feel like I just mutilated the hell out of them.. Hope I didn't take to much!🙏 Guess we will find out! This marks the last day of the first week of flower! See ya all next week!

********* Week 7 - January 20 to 26, 2020 (Days 43 to 49 from seed popping) She is taking shape more this week by getting taller colas and thinning out between nodes.......oh yeah, and fattening of buds😜😎 It was also not without learning though and thats what is so cool about growing this plant.......you always seem to leave a grow feeling like you could do even better next time and therefore challenging yourself to do better......and have bowl while doing it😂 Her nodes are getting taller and giving herself room for packing on weighty buds👍 If left to one cola should be a fatty!!! But then I would be freaking about potential bud-rot....so I am cool with it. Since LST though it will be interesting to see how well she fills in six😳 She has the makings of being a good producer......its up to the grower to now to keep her happy😬 and see if she packs on the weight with roughly three more full weeks to go?? Missed opportunities in CalMag showing.😰 Left a lot of leaves and two branches that should have removed. Potassium excess contributed to by grower learning Terpinator and Massive.😰 Main stem should have been a little lower......further opportunity to improve👍💪 Got a little crazy with the PPM and felt I knew more than the nutrient company and went above the recommended max by roughly 30%😰😎😭 Yeah.......dummy! My defence.....1300 isn’t too high for Advanced Nutrients in late flower😃😃 Anyway, I screwed up and saw tip burn in week 7. Gave a quick little flush with RO water and Sensyzime to clean up the roots of the salts. Didn’t get crazy though because it was just the top leaves burnt. Been building the medium up to this point so don’t want to wash it all away just yet. She seemed to react well and nodes standing up and didn’t show much outwardly as signs of overwatering😬 Reviewing some of the photos this week I have seen the first small parts of a few hairs drying and turning colour.......no full hairs and not on every bud but enough to say they are first ones.......three more weeks?? Curious.....time will tell.....seen Jan 26, day 49. (49 + 21 = 70.......makes sense.) Feed will stop next week.....by end of my week 8. In the week a head there will be the last push to get her medium in as good a shape as my skills will warrant. I want to get a good 10 + days of flush to see her in the beauty of senescence and how she matures. Run-off has been reasonable so will keep fingers crossed 😄🤞 Little more detail.... Jan 20/20 - Day 43 - Drinking lots right now, close to 4L per day, so 2L plain water only in AM. 6.2pH,. - Feed in PM was light as well. Sensyzime @ 2ml and LW8 & Rezin @ 1.5ml only. 2L given with 75ppm. 5.9pH - She was given a good feeding yesterday. - Buds sites looking taller. Jan 21/20 - Day 44 - AM - 3L with Dual Fual A&B @ 1.5ml/L. 725ppm and 5.9pH. - PM hit her again - full feeding minus Rhino Skin, Sensyzime and Vitrathrive and VeloKelp. 2.5L 1000ppm and 5.9pH. - Runoff - 950ppm and 5.6pH. - top leaves were droopy so the extra feeding in the evening. Jan 22/20 - Day 45 - Backing off quantity a bit and down to 3L feed in PM. - Mass & Terp @ 3ml, Rezin & LW8 & DF @ 1.5ml, CalMag @ 0.5ml = 1300ppm - Very perky today....standing up all the way down the plant. Liked the feed yesterday. ******this was likely the mistake feed looking back********left the ppm too high and should have added in RO water to bring down around 1000ppm! At least it seems traceable and will go with that😀 Jan 23/20 - Day 46 - Supplemental feeding only today. Happy so don't rock the boat :) - Sensyzime @ 2ml, LW8 & Rezin @ 1.5ml = 80ppm 6.1pH - 2L only today.....still some weight to the pot Jan 24/20 - Day 47 - 2L feed: Massive @ 2ml, DF & LW8 & Rezin @ 1.5ml = 925ppm 6.2pH - Nute burn on Green Poison but Zkittlez seems fine and she is fine. Maybe a slight lightening on a few tips.... - happy and praying in the evening. Jan 25/20 - Day 48 - 4L of full strength feeding for this week. - ppm for that was 1275 so watered down to 1100ppm.....only need 1ml of base nutes at full strength to hit roughly 1,000ppm. - Runoff: 900ppm & 6.05pH....happy with that. - she is 28” x 28” now - Her cola growth was strong, taller for each of the 6 She is in fattening mode….feed her 😀 Jan 26/20 - Day 49 - So no surprise when you push a girl you find her limit. Tips burnt this morning.😥😔 - 6L plain RO water pH to 6.2 - Followed right away with 2L RO water with Sensyzime @ 2ml/L. - Runoff: 465ppm. - She responded very well to this and all tips were up still in the evening.....no over watering signs. - Removed about 15 fan leaves and 4 lower bud sites. - guessing only another 1.5 weeks of feeding. - not falling to sleep an hour before lights out anymore either😀 Happy growing fellow enthusiasts and thanks for the time to read🙏🙏 (scrolling back through diary to update........damn.......that is a lot of bottles during these weeks!! There is an upside to organics😄)

Básicamente lo mismo, aunque está semana pilló bastante más horas de luz(tuve que irme fuera de casa dos findes seguidos, en los cuales la dejé con la luz encendida full 24/7 en la caja) Como experiencia utilicé café reposado 48h para "alimentarla" e intentar bajar el Ph de la tierra (coco ph6+hummus ph7+vermiculita ph8= ph total 7) El otro experimento fue cubrir la tierra con coco para que el tallo eche raíces y aprovechar su espigamento! Las horas de luz solía dejarla 8h en bombilla mientras duermo, y el día la pongo en la ventana a que tome el fresco, pero apenas tiene luz directa, me da la sensación que crece más rapido cuando vuelvo del finde, estoy replanteandome tenerla más tiempo en la caja con luz, porque la veo aún pequeña, y quizá ponerle un ventilador de pc o algo🤔..veremos, aún tengo el papel de aluminio al lado de la caja y ni se lo he puesto, con eso os lo digo todo☝️🎃

This week went real well ! Today is day 50 an these girls are doing 😀! Switched up the nutrients a little bit , instead of 3tsp of Floragrow they get 1 tsp now, and on the Florabloom they will get 3tsp instead of 1 ! Not much changes at all just those an that’s all! 2 of the wedding cheesecakes decided they were gonna stretch out a bit but no problem raised the up the other girls a little bit so it is all growing the same size an they are all loving it! They are starting to smell real nice can’t wait till further into to flower but we are getting there ! Hope you all enjoy, keep those eyes peeled for next week Happy Grows! ✌️If there’s any questions feel free to ask me!! Cheers

Don't mind the additional plants, they'll be joining along but won't be a focus in this journal. By this point, all of the plants are really upping their drinking frequency. I can tell by next week, I'll be watering every day. Seriously loving this pairing of nutrients together. A huge note to make though, is little pistils are popping up everywhere now! It'll be two weeks - max - before we are in flower! The health of all of these girls really makes the transition, that much more exciting! Got 4 really similar plants and 2 uniques to fill in the gap. My headcanon is treating all of these Ethos plants as rare items - like in a videogame 😂. Given how expensive these genetics are, it's kind of true lmao. One relevant footnote I wanted to make was that the Banana Dad Photo seems to have far thicker fan leaves than the autoflower counterparts at this stage. You can see it quite prevalently in the overview photo for the week. Tucking the autos has been very painless, and an emergency defol.(to get light where it needs to be) doesn't seem to bring any drawbacks. The photo seems to be recovering still from removing one of the main fan leaves about a week ago. Visually, she seems a bit behind the Banana Dad auto I refer to as BR, just with larger fan leaves. Either way, I'm sure they'll stretch a decent amount within the next two weeks. I also raised the light up a bit more, to hopefully encourage just a bit more vertical growth during the trans. stretch. Day 44 from seed update: All of the girls look great! As a matter of fact, there are actual buds now! And it may be hard to see, but there's a slight blue-ish hue appearing on the older fan leaves - A similar thing happened to my Early Lemon Berry just before she went completely purple/magenta. I'm also welcomed to a sweet grape scent now every time I open the tent, really pleasant. Things are going quite smooth during transition, within the next two weeks, I'll be removing XSD from the schedule(recommended according to Labmor). Then it will just be BSM and Liquid Seaweed until it's time to give em' the chop! Cheers all! Excited for what's to come. Stay safe & blessed!😄😷🙌

Week 11, Flower ( Day 36 from flip) So this week..... nothing really to report she's drinking plenty per day around the 8ltrs mark. Giving her a little coconut water I find it's a real health boost for the plant during flower. At the end of the week I added a mung bean seed sprout tea which may have been a tad too strong as after putting that down I started to see a very very tiny tip burn. I also put the pea mush as a top dress with bokashi. The flowers are already starting to show some colours and the terpen profile is loud with the scent of pine. Trichomes everywhere and I can't believe how sativa she now looks. Going to clear out the middle of some vegetation throughout this week to even out the stress rather than hitting in one go. Continue to fill up on just water.

😍😍 lowered nitrogen because tips of leaves are clawing
