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.

This week was a real breeze! She's gaining a ton of weight on the bud sites and she's really growing nicely! She's starting to bud around the flowering sites and really finishing nicely. The formation of bracks and the formation of the buds is my favorite part because that's when you get to see somewhat of the final picture and the time the flower is most colorful! Now the second best part is harvesting the flower for smoking which will be occuring soon! The smell on these girls is very invigorating!! She's putting out a smell of a Apple Tart! You can smell the Apple Strudel right away when you open up the tent! I can't believe how big she's got and how beautiful they are coming along! I have to say that this is one of my favorites to grow and my favorite smelling strain! I also love the way the flowers are stacking on the colas!!! The frost on top of the cola leaves is insane! During the day I drop the humidity down to 45-50% and then at night I raise the humidity up to 60-65% which helps a ton with flower promotion during the flowering stage! Also, I raise the temperature during the day to 80° and at night I lower the temperature to 55°-60° which helps mimic the autumn temperatures that aids a ton in flower production in the flowering stage!!! I'll be stopping the two Apple Strudel Auto's from receiving any synthetic nutrients soon and flushing them once harvest is closer. It will be within the next two weeks or so! I do that because they'll stop taking nutrients in and start to self canabulize as a normal (ending) part of plant life. Then I'll give the two ladies plain pH balanced H20 for the next 2 weeks to flush any and all nutrients out of them. Then three days of darkness. Finally I'll chop them down to hang in my harvesting closet for 7-14 days with a dehumidifier on at 65% humidity. Then I'll place the flower into the trimmer and then into the grove bags for the last step in harvesting! The grove bags will keep the flower at 58-62% humidity. They also help keep the flower fresh longer, the Terpenes fresh, the Terpenes flavors, and from becoming moldy or dried out! I've used both these and the mason jars with boveda humidity packs but to me the grove bags are a must and a go to fail safe!!! All you do is hang your buds upside down at 60/60 or 65/60 for 7-10 days or until the braches snap and make that noise. Thanks and as always stay safe, stay high, and stay blessed!

Im thinking tonight’s will be the final water change given how things are looking. Probably harvesting in 7-10 days. Trichs are looking cloudy but no amber yet and still to many white pistils showing for harvest. The smell is pretty strong now. I installed a carbon filter and 6” inline fan to fix that since it was permeating the House. Within an hour the odor is completely gone. Bummer the cabinet doesn’t hide much but I understand why. The plant up front has markedly smaller buds and colas than the plant in the back still. I’m so ready to harvest and start planning my next grow. Thinking Pineapple Chunk?

Gorilla Jealousy F1 is doing good. She is finally going to her own spot in a few days. She will be switched to flowering, and get a solution change at that time. All the pest were eliminated in the grow room. She was on the other side of the room from where it started. I never seen signs on her, but had to treat to be sure nothing could hide in the room. She had some defoliation done today. She is looking ready to go.

Hello grow 🌎! Finally seeing signs of flowering beginning. (Branches alternating, calxes, pistils, etc.) I cut the girls' dose of gro pro which is full of N, way down amd introduced monster bloom and a small dose of nirvana. Was going to tie down branches but realized that it would make draining their buckets near impossible. So I decided to use bamboo sticks to "position" branches in spots of light and out of tge way of others.

Our Zamnesia photoperiod plants have also started their journey into the magical flowering period, this is the first week. ---- The general environmental conditions are good, the heat has increased a bit again but for the first weeks of flowering it is not a big problem, let's remember to never exceed 27 degrees centigrade in the last 4 weeks to avoid jeopardizing the quality of the flowers. If necessary, open the growbox but never let it exceed 27-30 degrees where 30 is already a lot. The good thing is that as soon as the lights are turned off the change is already visible a bit and as autumn progresses we will also improve. The humidity is fluctuating but we try to control it with two dehumidifiers when necessary, pushing both possibly not into the growbox but directly into the room. (I dehumidify the room and the air in the growbox should also be dehumidified) - Our two Karen Kush plants had a bit of a hard time during the vegetative stage and I applied my emergency rule when a plant isn't doing very well. The plant that was having the most trouble was topped and is now about to send out 8 central tops and two lateral tops that were LSTed and have been branched out, really beautiful, great work, I told the guys at Zamensia that I was trying to come up with something and fingers crossed it seems I succeeded. A result that is obviously pleasing to the eye as well. Beautiful. This one is still in the vegetative stage in a separate small growbox. The second plant was also having a hard time, it seemed to be going into deficiency, it showed signs of over when I tried to recover so I gave it a good clean to give the plant less stuff to manage and now it seems we're going straight up well. She's flowering with the others. --- Technique chosen as I mentioned one of the two plants was left to vegetate, topping on the main central line up to 8 buds now growing. However, unlike the main lining, I left two side branches which also have some nice branching and I applied a symmetrical and pleasant LST. --- Feeding Program - The fertilizers are always Plagron and I am following the table that I generated on the site depending on the substrate chosen. Create your card and follow it, never be presumptuous my friend as I have been in the past, follow the card and look at the plants, not all need the same amount of fertilizer. We have arrived at the moment to give a good dose of ferrò in the first weeks of flowering, already of race life not sprayed but mixed with fertilizers. ---- https://plagron.com/en - Power Roots - 1ml/l - Alga Grow - 4 ml/l (Plant 1 in veg) - Alga Bloom - 4 ml/l (Plant in bloom) - Pure Zym - 1 ml/l - Sugar Royal - 1ml/l - Vita Race - 5 ml/l --- The 100% Organic pack by Plagron can be found on Zamnesia at the link: https://www.zamnesia.io /it/11457-pla gron-easy-pack-natural.html --- Dehumidifier is now running between 50% - 55 % / / Site Strain Description // Formidable genetics: These seeds contain the genes of Monster Bud Kush and White Widow. High THC content: With 24%, the effects are pronounced and intense. Fast flowering: This indica-dominant hybrid needs just 8–9 weeks to reach harvest. Excellent yield potential: This plant is very generous, if grown in the right way! - Get a seed of this fantastic strain --- https://www.zamnesia.io/it/10780-zamnesia-seeds-karen-kush.html - Soil and Fertilizers entirely organic --- https://plagron.com/en buy on www.zamnesia.io - Growbox and air sistem --- https://www.secretjardin.com/ - Music and sound --- I made my girls listen to 432hz frequencies and music from www.radionula.com - Light - Sp3000 - https://marshydro.eu/ - Z --- You can find these seeds, much more from the world of cannabis, mushrooms and an incredible series of accessories and gadgets on the reference site not only mine but of many growers ---- https://www.zamnesia.io

Well, this is not an auto that is for sure... I have her on 12 on 12 off and that has sugar flower.. hopefully, everything works out considering how small the pot is.I don't think she was ever meant to get this big.. But i've also had pretty big plants in one gallon containers.. everybody on here uses five gallon seven gallon.Some even ten gallon... Dirt to weed ratio, if I use the ten gallon theoretically, I should be able to grow atleast at 4 pound plant 🤣 as I average a quarter pound per one gallon .. anyway, I don't know what's going on with this. I'm hoping it's purple haze.. i'm hoping it didn't get swapped around.Somehow with some bs strain . Time will tell .. hope all is well... God bless and happy growing everyone ✌️

Last feeding with Top Bud at the beggining of the week, and then 2 weeks irrigating only water The Blueberry started yellowing leaves .. And... look at that beautiful chemicals called chemtrails, which are sprayed from the air, penetrating directly in our lungs, plants and soils If someone needs a proof, well, these strange chemicals look like spiderwebs but if you check it closer and you touch it you know it is not made by an animal, ( and i am even more sure when the plant has like 5 or more spiders around making webs,they are completely different ) it is like shaving gel when you touch it . Got no more to say, better watch..( They still processing loool ) Feeding Schedule Added Micro Vita to the soil again, to clean the roots and help the nutrients break WATER / TOP BLOOM + TOP BUD + TOP CANDY / WATER / TOP BLOOM + TOP CANDY / WATER Song of the week : SIRENS | Z1RENZ - Denzel Curry

😍😍😍 its that time again already!!!! the flowers are coming on very nicely. I did the yoga session and get all the under canopy trimmed up. So tricky without being able to get to the back middle from the front but well worth the effort. I should film it one of the times hahaha only have to do it once a harvest but damn. anyways.......I made my own co2 mix this time, had enough lol all it is, is 2 cups of sugar and some yeast lol no need to pay $28 a batch for it, man i feel silly now. got the co2 in there and started using a new terp and resin enhancer called, well, resin lol this stuff smells even better than terpinator some how lol definetely excited to smell and taste the results. Continued with the microbiable mass every 2nd week and also got rid of the pully things i had and did a hard zip tie to the beams so i could raise the light up another 4-5 inches. This should help the outer perameter get some extra light it was not before. All in all, i'm very happy!!! the scrog is even better than last run with almost the whole tent absolutey packed. though there is still some room for improvement of course! left is SLIGHTLY more bushy canopy up this run to see if i can increase the yeilds with a new strategy. Thanks guys!!! next week i should start having some beautiful flower pics

Giorno 65 Ad oggi ho tagliato le due Rainbow Belts (qualche giorno prima per esaltarne il gusto Zkittlez) e le due Zombie Kush una al giorno 58 l'altra giorno 63. Rimane questa bestia di Milk Monkey. Sento biscotti sento vaniglia ma sento anche dell'acido. Mai avuto cime così piene di resina. Mamma mia che spettacolo di banca semi questa Exotic Genetics (meglio spendere qualche euro in più e avere erba che vale 20/25euro al grammo che spendere poco per avere erba commerciale) Saluti e a settimane prossima 🖐️ ❤️

08/08/25: The first leaves are starting to fade and the buds are looking like they will be ready to harvest in one or two weeks! Right on cue, summer has finally decided to show up here! We’re in for a warm and sunny week, perfect timing to give the flowers that final push they need to ripen fully and pack on some last-minute weight ☀️🌿 I also really enjoy all the other diaries growing alongside! Seeing different approaches and results has already given me plenty of ideas to improve my next outdoor auto run next year. 😁

This plant plus one more started to wilt earlier on in the week, I figured it was probably time to transplant seeing as they had been in the solo cups for 2 weeks. After transplant plants seemed to be happy again. I introduced amino acids this week as well. They are getting the grease spray and drench program
