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.

I installed a drip system, which I will use if necessary. It's a new year ahead, so a drip system is needed 😁 We are finishing the last week of vegetation.

Tag 42 - Beginn der 7 Woche. Es wird so langsam. Der Blütenwachstum geht weiter. Für mich könnte sie zum jetzigen Stand etwas weiter sein, was aber glaube ich meine Schuld ist, da die Lampe etwas nah an der Pflanze ist. Im oberen Bereich der Pflanze habe ich hellgrüne Verfärbung an den Blättern entdeckt, was auch auf zu viel Licht und Hitze schließen lässt. Ich hab die Lampe nochmal etwas weiter nach oben verstellt und habe der Pflanze an Tag 40 der letzten Woche zusätzlich bisschen Sensi Cal-Mag Xtra gegeben, damit sie für die Lichtintensität gestärkt wird und ich einen Calciummangel ausschließen kann. Ich bin gespannt wie sie sich in den kommenden Wochen entwickelt. Der pH-wert wurde minimal von 6.5 auf 6.6 erhöht. Beschnitten oder entlaubt wurde nichts mehr und werde ich voraussichtlich auch nicht mehr. Gedüngt wurde an Tag 38 der letzten Woche. Nährstofflösung: 1 ml/l - Big Bud Advanced Nutrients 1 ml/l - Bud Candy Advanced Nutrients. 1 ml/l - B-52 Advanced Nutrients. 2 ml/l - pH Perfect Sensi Bloom Part A. 2 ml/l - pH Perfect Sensi Bloom Part B. 1 ml/l - Sensi Cal-Mag Xtra Advanced Nutrients.

Hello 👋🏼 Busy weeks, so I’ll post simple stuff and pictures. Most important is to control temps, because that’s hard. Watering is a bit under control, I’ll wait enough time in between to get the soil dry dry, she doesn’t drink daily 1.5l but sometimes she drink more or less. The buds are growing good, I think because of the temp changes the weed gets the purple ish leafs. I don’t mind the buds look green.

Happy gardening. 07/21/2018 Wow unseasonably cold last night got down to 48° brrrr. No signs that the cold bothered the girls posting photos in a min.. And video. Phew took me awhile to upload. 07/24/2018 Mid week update Back to hot and, steamy summer weather. #1, tops are just about 39.5", going to try to get all super cropped to about 30", I expect that they will be double their size at harvest.👍. On a side note hours of light will soon be at 14.5 hope they initiate flowering,as it will give me almost 3 months of flower!👊 #2 is 43.5" looking like a Christmas tree,still some supercropping to spread out the lower layers. #3, is 35.5" And no training just picking her dead,yellowing leaves #4, is 41.5" also no training #5, is 30" , and still stinkiest 😎 of all gonna take a clone today.

📅 D22 - 05/09 📜Second day of rest for Lucy only tha daily water tracking. LST adjusted a little. Added 1 l of water with only pH-. Deactivated inside roots pump ✍️ 0.98 EC ♒ 6 pH 🌊 9,7 L (added 1 L) 📏 7 cm 📅 D23 - 06/09 📜 Lucy waked up a little droopy. I guessed it is due to the deactivation of inside roots pump, so I reactiveted it. EC and pH are both raising and Lucy still drinks good. I will make a correction of EC and pH today. Cutted lower leaves. Late update: I added 1 L of pure water with 0,5 ml of pH- to take under control EC and pH. Anyway she looks better now, maybe the inside pump worked ? We'll see tomorrow. Lights distance is set on 20 cm from now on. ✍️ 0,96 EC ♒ 6,1 pH 🌊 9,9 L (Added 1 L) 📏 8 cm 📅 D24 - 07/09 📜 Lucy seems ok today, she is drinking and feeding ! Today I adjusted the LST on top branches and I will give some days of rest to lucy in the new configuration. EC and pH are both stable. ✍️ 0,96 EC ♒ 6,2 pH 🌊 9,1 L 📏 8 cm 📅 D25 - 08/09 📜 All is working good. Lucy is now completely recovered and she's drinking and feeding very good. I stressed up a little the LST for the manifolding. Also I gave her 1,5 liters of water with EC 0,9 and pH 4,8. I think she's almost ready for the new topping of the 2 main branches. I will perform it on Saturday and then change res. ✍️ 0,96 EC --> 0,92 EC ♒ 6 pH --> 5,7 pH 🌊 8,4 L --> 9,9 L 📏 8 cm 📅 D26 - 09/09 📜 Finally I decide to take the risk to make the topping today, despite the advices of @GrowCN and @Ukfarmer420 (thank you guys). As they say, she is an autoflower so too many close to the pre-flowering. So I've almost changed my mind, but finally, looking at Lucy, I decided to get all or nothing! So I topped her on the two main branches and I completly changed the res. The new EC is 1,4, very high.. Both the moves were a gamble, but failing is learning, so it's ok for me. Let see the aftermath of this push. ✍️ 1,4 EC ♒ 6 pH 🌊 10 L 📏 8 cm 📅 D27 - 10/09 📜 Lucy looks good today. It seems the topping and the res change is going well until now (finger crossed). The pH track was a little strange as the value is over 6,6, I already added 1 ml of pH- in 10 L and I think I would add some more today. I didn't change the values here, 'cause I will put the new values the next week. I'm considering what to do now to make the branches stay down, I'm not sure if I have to use SCROG or other LST. I will look other diaries to find out. Update: I opted for LST. ✍️ 1,4 EC ♒ 6,4 pH 🌊 9,5 L 📏 9 cm 📅 D28 - 11/09 📜 Last day of third week, and no changes made on Lucy today. EC is still high, but Lucy apparently can manage it. I made some little update on LST. Addded 1 L of water, pH5 and EC 1,39, tryng to lower the pH. ✍️ 1,4 EC ♒ 5,8 pH 🌊 9,5 L (Added 1 L) 📏 9 cm

it's always a pleasure to do business with Barney's Farm!!! They have never let me down even once!! Even in the worst situations and conditions they have always been able to bring out the best for me!! I really enjoyed forcing these plants to see their reactions, but I wouldn't do it again as a technique because it only serves to keep the canopy low but not to increase the yields...or...at least in my case I didn't find it of fundamental importance....maybe a simple cut of the apical top and that was it! but that's fine!😋

The first week of the 12/12 cycle went without any problems. The scrog is going fine and I've done some pruning & defoliation underneath the screen making it easier to water them. On day 40 (5th day of this week) I spotted the first pre-flowers. I gave them tapwater with Plagron nutrients once this week. The rest of the week I gave them ph adjusted tapwater every other day (Ec 0.46 - ph 6.1 - 1 liter each/48h) The cobs stayed at the same height and power as last week (43 cm/17 inch and 188 watt – DLI 28 – PPFD 648) On the last day it got a bit brighter again with the cobs at 40 cm/15.75 inch and 208 watt. (DLI 30.2 – PPFD 699) I sprayed them once with a CannaCure solution (50 ml CannaCure + 200 ml tapwater, ph 6.1) Temperatures stayed between 20 – 25 °C (68 – 77 °F) and humidity levels between 49 – 66 % C u next week! ✋ Do you want to grow this strain? 👉 https://www.barneysfarm.us/pineapple-chunk-weed-strain-15 👈

👉Alrighty Then👈 👉Apple And Banana 👈 week 7 of flower Everything is looking good 👍I'm using well water which is hard so I'm having a few issue but I'm on it .... So ive i continue to modify nutrients to accommodate flower .....

During vegetative growth, blue light promotes lateral branch development effectively. Well this should be fun 🙃 Thanks to all my growmies out there for stopping by its much appreciated 👈 👉Happy Growing👈 Well this should be fun 🙃 Thanks to all my growmies out there for stopping by its much appreciated 👈 👉Happy Growing👈

I was still seeing strange things happen in the leaves but runoff pH was staying at around 6.5. One plant toppled over and started growing up from a bent stalk like an herb. I started looking for a new reflector so that I could mount my light horizontally instead of vertically to save space and ideally find a way to get the plants closer to the light without burning them. I started looking into MH bulbs as well as I figured at this point I clearly hadn't provided the light they needed. If I wanted them to thrive I needed to set them up properly for the last few weeks of veg. I transplanted this week into slightly bigger coco pots but in retrospect I feel I should have gone up to 3 gallon pots at this point.

We had some problems with the light we were using and re-installed the Spyder. Long story. The plants are looking good, frosty, stinky, bud size could be bigger but they are dense. We found out that one of the lights is only operating at about 40% capacity, which held back the one side of the tent. Things are looking better with the new light. Hard to say if the UVB is making difference as these are all new strains, but we hope for the best 😁 Some Pheno's are really starting to show off. Honestly most are looking good and its going to be hard to choose keepers. May need another run.. Some plants are on their way to being ripe and ready for piking so I am sure we will start harvesting some in the next week or so. Check yeah next week 👊

Hello Growers! Nice to finally join the club! 😁 This is a step by step of my very first attempt at growing from Start to Finish. It's something I've always wanted to do and I've researched a lot of over the years but now is the right time to give it a go as I have become a medical user of cannabis and the price just keeps going up!! 😂🤦‍♂️ So without going on too much let's get down to the nitty gritty... I Dropped the 1 seed into a glass of 5.8 PH water on 10/05/21 which I also dechlorinated, waited until she sank then placed her between two damp paper towels inside two plates in a warm, dark & humid spot (bucket) until the tap root showed and was about 1/4" long then she went straight Into media on 12/05/21. Day 1 - 15/05/21 - first two baby leaves open & lights on! Day 2 - 4L Humidifier added, seedling just under 3" tall ALREADY!!! So I've lowered the light from 23" to 15" to try and stop the stretching. Day 3 - 17/05/21 - Checked on my girl and she's the same height as yesterday so hopefully the stretching has stopped 🤞 I also built a T-bar diffuser for my humidifier using some 32mm PVC pipe and fittings (Photo Above) I'm hoping this will distribute the humidity more evenly so I can have the humidifier on less often, I'm getting puddles of condensation forming in the bottom of my tent which is annoying! 🌊🌊🌊 😂 I'm hoping it might save me a bit of deionised water as well? 🤔 Day 4 - The T-bar diffuser I installed on the humidifier is working well, The RH is staying up and so far no puddles! ⛲ 😂 I will get a more comprehensive reading of highs and lows over the next few days and get it dialled in the best I can. I also think that because there is a lot of red LED's in this Mars Hydro light that may also contributing to the stretch during my girls early stages of life. Thankfully she is looking great and the stretch is massively reduced now that The light is lower. 😁 Day 5 - 19/05/21 - So far So Good! 😊 The stretching has definitely stopped but I'm still worried about her getting so tall so fast!! So today I installed a small 6" fan in the corner of my tent to try and get her stem to thicken up a bit, this is set to run only when the humidifier is on otherwise it screws up my RH and Temperatures. I also plan to bury her an inch or two deeper when I re-pot 👍 apart from that she's doing great! 🙂 Day 6 - 20/05/21 - No major updates today she's just looking happy! 🙂 Today's Environment Readings: Max Out (Probe) - 24.2c Max In (LCD Screen) - 23.8c Max RH (LCD Screen) - 81% Min Out (Probe) - 18.8c Min In (LCD Screen) - 18.7 Min RH (LCD Screen) - 47% Day 7 - So that's week 1 done & It seems like I've gotten all my temps down now, 👍 she's no longer stretching, humidity and temperatures are staying where I want them and my little girl is looking healthy 😁 No nutrients for the first 7 - 10 days of her life just water 🚰 set to PH 5.8 and dechlorinated. Hardware 0.75 x 0.75 x 2.0m Bud Box Pro tent in White Telos 6 Pro 175w LED! 😁 4" TT pro fan for Extraction moves up to 187M2 & SMS Controler + temperature probe 3" Passive intake (made slightly larger than normal due to the small area and large fan, also covered to prevent pests) 6" clip on Ram fan placed next to intake Rhino Pro 100/300mm Carbon Filter 4" Black combi ducting which feeds outside 4L humidifier set to run intermittently via analogue timer to increase humidity in Seedling + Veg stage Agro lab Temperature and humidity sensor Media I decided to go with a soil media as all of the medicine I grow will be for myself so flavour, quality and terpenes mean more to me than weight 0.2L"ish" Seedling pots - 75% BioBizz light mix 25% Canna Coco Professional for added drainage I will only be re-potting once into 8L Fabric pots 75% BioBizz All Mix 25% Canna Coco Professional Nutrients Going to stick with the BioBizz range of organic liquid nutrients including Grow, Bloom, Root Juice, Cal-Mag, PH down & Top Max apart from using some Plant Magic Silicon, some Root it First Feed, some Neutralise to remove the chlorine and chloramine from my tap water & Flawless Flush at the end. (I have some more seeds en-route to be safe) Light Distance From Canopy - 120cm Temperatures - Lights On - 26.0C Temperatures - Lights Off -20.0C Relative Humidity - 75% - Lights On Relative Humidity - 60% Lights Off Current Light schedule - 18/6 I can't think of anything else to include in regards to specs but if I've missed anything off or if you have any questions or comments then get involved as I'd love some input and advice!!! In the Meantime everyone I'm going for a smoke!! Stay High, Stay Happy and keep Growing!!! PEACE!!!! ✌️ Potgoblin Quick edit...The 3 remaining pots will have some other vegetables in them for this run, Pear Drop Cherry Tomatoes and Sweet Peppers if anyone was wondering...

So its day 149 and its time for Girl to go ... I left her for 72 hours of darkness, trichs are milky with 30% amber. She started to flower on day 2 . So i kind off hoped for her to mature quick.... And on day 64 of flower she is done, one of the fastest girls. I could push her like a week more, but she is fading and i dont like to slaughter buds while triming , because i dont like yellow leaves ;))) Two records left in longest diary, one for harvest, one for result. Amazing journey ... Happy growing !

Day 74 (28/05/18) - 2 of the Girl scout cookies are looking very close to being finished and seeing all cloudy trichomes with a couple amber. I look for 80/20% ratio of cloudy/milky to amber trichomes for harvest as this gives the best medicinal effects from my experiences. Flushing the GSC and will be waiting for her to use up the remainder of her nutrients in the leaves before I chop, hopefully get a nice fade. One of the Stardawg girls isn't so far behind but being more sativa dominant, I expected that. May upload one picture of her and how she is getting on. The smell coming from the GSC is so potent and sweet. Hoping the smoke quality lives up to the smell. Not long to go now.

En esta actualización se incluyen 2 semanas ya que por trabajo me fue imposible añadir la semana anterior. El día 15 de Agosto recibió la segunda pulverización de Bacillus Thuringiensis para prevenir el ataque de las orugas. Sigo alternando riego de agua un día con riego de Ascophillum Nodosum al día siguiente. He dejado de regar con Cannazym.

3/27 Been fighting the warmth of the lights and the rising temps lately. Amnesia is still sacrificing leaves, but much more slowly now, letting me pick out about 5-10 per day. I really don't know what caused it all, but at least this could make trimming easier. I'm trying to make sure I pull off all the browning and crispy leaves so that they don't get absorbed by growing bud. Trainwreck is getting much more purple, but is also browning in some spots. Trainwreck doesn't let go of any leaves, as the base of them is still green, which makes it more difficult to sift through the brown leaves and pull them out. Fed at the end of last week, may have been Friday. 3/29 Feeding 3/4 nutrients today! 3/31 Fed 1/2 strength nutrients and lowering lights to 50% before going away for the weekend. 4/1 They survived my time away. 4/2 Some crispy leaves needed to be plucked from Trainwreck to open up other budsites. Trichomes are still not amber.

Devil cream Auto is oozing with crystals it's roots aren't booming out of the soil like a couple other plants in this run, however it is looking good.
