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.

Nun ist es bald geschafft und ein holpriger Grow geht der Ernte entgegen. In 3 Tagen plane ich die Ernte. Glücklicherweise waren die letzten Wochen für die Mädels nicht mehr so stressig, um so mehr für mich 😜 Die Temperatur und Luftfeuchtigkeit aufrecht zu erhalten war nicht immer leicht. Ich habe viel Zeit mit basteln verbracht 😎 Es hat sich gelohnt! Mittlerweile sind die Blätter schon recht hell und haben sich stark zusammengezogen. Die Trichome sehen milchig bis leicht bräunlich aus. Sie richen appetitlich 😋 wie ein Gewürz

She smell incredible, a very sweet sickly smell. She is feeding very heavily and drinking 3 litres per day. She is only in a 3.8 litre pot! Buds are rock solid and building daily. Love it!

Week 1 Day 1 - 8/12/2023 1st Water change Day! Such a special time it is when you remove the little bit of Nutes that you gave them as an appetizer and you give them their first real meal. Added 39 Gallons of Water to my system SILICA= .5mil/Gal = 19.5 = 20mil Root Drip = 1mil/Gal = 39mil Cal Mag= .25mil/Gal = 9.75 = 10mil FLoraMicro= 3.0mil/Gal = 114mil FloraGro = 2.0mil/Gal = 78mil FloraBloom = 2.0mil/Gal =78mil ORCA= .5mil/Gal = 19.5 = 20mil Week 1 Day 2 - 8/13/2023 Everything is looking good the roots are making their way to the water and the new grow is looking nice and green. Week 1 Day 3- 8/14/2023 Everything is right on track, they are looking beautiful and in the praying position all leaves happily lifting towards the light. Week 1 Day 4- 8/15/2023 A little worried today her birth Twin the BA I am growing out is looking great and is raised towards the light and this one is just slightly under.. Will keep an eye on Her. Week 1 Day 5- 8/16/2023 Walked in and the humidity was under 60.... ohh noooooo.. So I added 2 humidifiers to the tent and attached them to my InkBird controller which is set to 62. Also looking at the roots and she has some poking out the bottom but just not in the water yet.. Luckily we are set for 14 days before next water change so the system will stay stable and her sister already has roots in the water so she should only be a day or two behind.. we will just keep tracking but she is delayed. Week 1 Day 6- 8/17/2023 Roots in the Water!!! Huston, we have a successful launch. This grow is on! Humidity was a little low this morning so I refilled the humidifiers. Other than that the temp looks great, the PH looks good, the PPM looks good the plant is in the praying position and all damage from the little drowning from over filling the cloning machine seems to have been fixed. Happy Happy. Week 1 Day 7- 8/18/2023 Yay.. week 1 in the books, roots in the water growth has started. Everything for growth and environment is looking good and on track, there are a couple of mutations with this Lady will keep an eye on those leaves. IMO this grow is going A lot during this week 1 then week 1 of the last grow when I had them drowning. Really excited on how this grow is going to come out.

July 14: it’s getting hard to measure how tall she is. I’m 6’2” and it is further than I can reach. For scale it is in a full size garbage (not that you can really see it in some pics). July 15: looks to still be growing fast. This plant is too tall and cannot be forever flowered like the other photoperiods. It’s starting to flower and is supposedly a late Sept or early October finish. July 16: double rainbow after thunder showers. Did a major defoliation on the three big manifolded plants.

Day 36 Nutrients: none Water: none (3 days no water) Day 37 Nutrients: none Water: none Due to high humidity levels the peat moss is still holding high levels of moisture. I have introduced a dehumidifier to help bring down the RH to closer to 40% if not below Day 38 Nutrients: bio biz (grow, bloom, topmax) Water: 1 Litre Potential magnesium deficiency. Reduce water amount and nutrients by half. Will monitor uptake and intro calmag if needed. Day 39 Nutrients: 2ml Calmag (biobiz) Water: 1 Litre Day 40 Nutrients: none Water: none Day 41 Nutrients: none Water: none Leaves continue to wilt (predominantly large old fan leaves) Day 42 Nutrients: none Water: none Wilting of leaves appears to have slowed. No water today as still moisture within substrate. Full water and reduced feed tomorrow

Finally made it to flower. Did a supercrop on one of the Mr big runtz x Gary Payton. Both Pablo’s revenges are smaller with tighter nodal spacing so far. Let’s see what they do.

Buds growing dense, this week I added 2 uvb-a lamps to help increase resin production. Smell is also great, like sweet lemon tart.

Still at 1/4 strength..I'm gonna flush before I up the nutrients cause I think ph may be fluctuating. I saw slight yellowing in veins yesterday. Other than that pretty happy, she still hasn't developed that signature diesel smelll but I'm sure its coming soon 😎

Using a Rhaspberry Pi 4 to automate the watering and a TP-link 105 smart plug to automate the Viparspectra P2000 LED grow light. You can see how I automated it here: https://hackaday.io/project/188129-rhaspberry-pi4-basic-watering-system-for-balcony Basically, this is an "Automated Watering how-to Guide for Dummies" - as simple as technically possible. You still require some basic command line expertise, but the steps have been proven and I provide links to the gear I used AND the Node Red code, making this EASIER than anything else I've seen online.
