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 I tried to let them go, only did some gnat hunting with the vacuum to keep populations down. Sunshine found a great way to hold the plant down with some thrift store Christmas light fixtures. At the end of this week, I tied the remaining upward stalks down and away. The final bits of training before we can hopefully go towards flowering coming week. I did some foliar feeding also to help the soil dry out a bit, also to fight the gnats. Maybe overdid it a bit with a few yellow points on the leaves. On to flowering!!

Sorry having issues uploading these pic went to week 4 somehow? But is actually week4 flowering, also brewing tea give my plants a little love. 05/09/2018 The boy's have been shaken twice a day last two days,dispersing copious amounts of pollen i mean clouds! It's forming layers in my tent, wish I could capture on video but its not picking it up😕 hoping it relates to strong offspring. 05/12/2018 Fourth week of flowering males are in overdrive! Making clouds of pollen I am gonna harvest some for later use (it can last 6months or more of stored correctly. I try and get video. Wish me luck👍🙏 05/14/2018 Harvesting pollen from the the boys. Video not greatest but you get the idea., Picture of #1 pollen and flower,will keep harvesting for a couple days, then cut off flowers and back to veg tent for more test. 06/18/2018 Coming up on sixth weeks after pollination, found two seeds popping out of the buds LAST week and I r germinated today!

The two KANNABIA plants almost harvested the same, the PINEAPPLE DREAM harvested 63 grams of dried bud and the ZKIT KANDY DREAM harvested 62,7 gram. That is a VERY GOOD RESULT and I am very happy with that. The plants grew very healthy throughout the whole cycle and developed lots of leaves (with very long stems!). At harvest time that meant loooooots of work for the scissors, but it was all worth it seen the outcome. The 2 plants harvested lots of buds glistening with trichomes and exuding a VERY SWEET SMELL.

💫 Week 13 | Flower Week 9 – Heavy, Colorful, and Close to the Finish Line 🌿 The BlueBerry queens are reaching their final act — and what a sight they are. Both phenos are standing (well, trying to stand) under the weight of dense, resinous colas that have turned the tent into a living kaleidoscope of colors. Reds, oranges, yellows, and light greens paint the canopy in true BlueBerry style — a visual symphony of maturity, power, and grace. 🌸 Phenotype Highlights Pheno #1 – A soft, vibrant green tone, frosty and full of balanced structure. Pheno #2 – The colorful rebel. Reds and purples showing up beautifully on the leaves and buds, glistening with trichomes. Unfortunately, she gave us a little reminder of nature’s unpredictability — a touch of bud rot on her main top. We acted fast, cut it clean, and saved the rest. She’s drying beautifully now, and the rest of her canopy is thriving. 🌈 ⚙️ Gear in Action Lighting – ThinkGrow Model One + ICL 3300 working together in perfect harmony. They’ve been driving these girls from seed to bloom, bathing them in full-spectrum beauty from top to bottom. Airflow & Extraction – Two 6-inch fans, one from AeroFan and the other from Spider Farmer, keep the air moving. Each one runs with a carbon filter — clean, quiet, efficient. Environmental Control – Everything under the eye of the TrolMaster ecosystem, including the camera that lets us see and record every sparkle in real time. 🌿 Environment & Growth The summer heat continues to challenge the room, and with it, a bit of foxtailing has appeared — likely from heat stress or humidity. But this is part of the story. The girls are homegrown, full of heart, full of life, and we embrace their uniqueness. 🔮 What to Expect The finish line is near. Trichomes are maturing, colors are deepening, and aromas are thickening. We’re watching them closely to decide when that perfect harvest window opens — probably within a week or two. Next, we’ll focus on "flushing", watching the fade, and preparing the final harvest and drying phase. 💙 Gratitude To everyone following this journey — the lovers, the haters, the curious, the growers, the dreamers, and of course our sponsors — thank you. Every comment, every view, every message keeps the energy flowing. This run has been a reminder that perfection is found in patience and care — and sometimes, even in the challenges. 🎥 Everything is documented in 4K on YouTube — come check it out and see these BlueBerry legends shine in full color. #BlueBerry #Week13 #FlowerWeek9 #GrowDiaries #AptusHolland #Plagron #FutureOfGrow #ThinkGrow #SpiderFarmer #AeroFan #TrolMaster #HomeGrow #GrowWithLove 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Muy satisfecho de esta semana ya que parece que están avanzando todas satisfactoriamente, la única que parece haberse quedado atrás es la Glookies y a parte hemos añadido una Watermelon Zkittlez x Animal Cookies y otra Banana Slurricane, parece que cogen fuerza a pasos agigantados 🔥🔥
