This is officially my first grow. I have some experience with gardening and especially bonsai. Its going to be quite challenging given the limited height of my tent.

my dry and cure style is this: 4 days of hanging upside down to get water activity lower to around 0.6 in 50% humidity and 26 C temp (i know its a little high but we are in a hot summer right now and i cant get it lower even with air conditioner) and then after 4 days of drying i remove leaves and stalks, trim buds and move them to jar for the rest of their life :D . and in the first 4 days of curing i open the jar door and let hem get some fresh air in the jar for about 5 minutes and close the jar door again, after 4 days of curing like that buds are smokable but they will get better as they getting cured about 1 month. buds are one of the hardest as fucking rocks type of buds! very dense , compact , sticky , smelly , amazing at every aspect growing stage was 56 days and flowering stage was 75 days total (harvested tops at day 64th) the total weight of dry buds was : (plant #1 & #3 top buds 56 G + lower buds 22 G ) 78 G + (plant #2 top buds 47 G + lower buds 18 G ) 55 G + (plant #4 top buds 120 G + lower buds 67 G ) 187 G = 367 G

Today I harvested after about 24 hours with lights turned on. The smell is strong lemon with a hint of mint :) I cant wait to taste her when its dry, and in my opinion it smells and looks good :) Had some problems with temperature, but with some gear improvements I think I got the right solution for it for next time. As this is my first try doing this im pretty happy, but ofcourse there is room for improvements :) Thanks to everyone for checking in on my diary and the likes! :) Happy growing and peace đŸŒČ✌ Total dry weight - 338grams đŸŒČ

Coming right along. I upped nutes last two weeks but think I am still safe from over feeding. I will be finishing LST and defoliating a little this coming week. Pictures are day 35. I gave this plant 1 litter of nutrients at the above concentration this week. Cracked main cola and now have it braced, taped and healing. Stem seemed a little brittle, so my feeding regime may be off for this plant.

Hey Grow Diaries fam, We’re back with another exciting update on our PCR adventure! We’ve hit Week 11, which means we’re now in Week 7 of flowering, and the transformation continues to amaze us. Overview The PCRs are truly in their prime, with colors intensifying and buds swelling beautifully. This week has been all about fine-tuning their nutrient intake and ensuring they get exactly what they need to finish strong. Environment and Conditions Tent: 3x3, kept spotless to ensure the best possible growing environment. Lighting: ViparSpectra P2000, continuing to provide the perfect spectrum for our flowering ladies. Watering: TDS at 420, pH 6, and water temperature at 21°C, keeping everything balanced and consistent. Nutrient Regimen We’ve made a critical adjustment to our feeding schedule this week: TopBooster: Phased out as we shift focus. P-Boost: Cut from the mix as we near the final stages of flowering. K-Boost: Increased to provide that crucial potassium boost, ensuring maximum bud density and potency. This tweak in our regimen is aimed at enhancing the final development of our buds, making them as dense and potent as possible. Growth and Development The PCRs continue to fill out the tent, with their buds growing denser and more aromatic by the day. The increased K-Boost has given them that extra push, and the results are clear – we’re seeing some seriously impressive bud formation and trichome development. Reflections This week has been about dialing in the final touches to ensure our PCRs finish strong. The colors are popping, the buds are dense and sticky, and the aromas are out of this world. We’re gearing up for an incredible harvest, and the anticipation is building! A huge shout out to: Aptus Holland: Your nutrients are the backbone of this grow, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Art Genetix: For creating such a stellar strain. The PCRs are a joy to grow. Grow Diaries Community: Your support and enthusiasm keep us motivated. Let’s keep pushing forward together! Here’s to another fantastic week of growing! Stay positive, keep those good vibes flowing, and enjoy every moment of this amazing journey.

8/13-19. Hello friends, welcome to week 15. 8/13 Pictures of tricomes today. This is a difficult process to photograph, hold microscope, keep image still, push the button. Phone shakes, start again. Here are a few of them that weren't just a blur across the screen. I would say trichomes are100% milky. New pistils are still forming on multiple buds on both Gaia and Circe. 8/14 Well damn, based on yesterday's question regarding new hairs forming and when to harvest, it appears CBG is harvested early when the trichomes are milky. You DONT wait for amber. Thus, I will be starting the harvesting process today. I have been flushing for several weeks to reverse lockout but just resumed light fertilizer yesterday, not expecting to harvest now. Today, I flushed with 2 gallons of water with 9ml Signal. Signal can act like a flushing agent. I think nutrient residue will be limited. Hopefully, the late harvesting will not be detrimental to the flavor and more importantly the effect. I'm glad I have 1 more seed that i can grow later, hopefully to perfection. I have already turned off the lights in the tent but will keep the fans and vent on. Plants will be in 2 days of darkness before the chop and dry cycle. Some how I miss counted how many edibles we had (or we enjoyed them so much, we ate extra servings). So today I did double baking. Samoa bars and lemon curd brownie bars. Recipe in week 4. These are cake like. Modifications I did, reduce sugar by replacing with monkfruit sugar. The result is not as sweet as a lemon cake. While not required, a lemon glaze would be nice on this. Side note: I am a very organized person. As director of financial reporting, I was responsible for monthly, quarterly and annual reporting. I planned out my major work 18 months before the due date. I prepared the timelines for all reporting and staff deadlines and due dates from supporting departments. Even with multiple schedules for State and local reporting with short deadlines, i never was stressed out. Why, because I know the process, what's involved, how the schedules and numbers interrelate. I'm so new at growing, I still haven't mastered the basics. Having to react all of a sudden to new information (harvesting late) and jump into gear to resolve is stressful to me. I had many setbacks on this grow. Not all were my fault. I followed the TPS1 auto flower dosages by week and still over fed resulting in nutrients lock. Next grow, I'll plan trimming dates, stress training dates and expected harvest dates. I will still use the TPS1but will reduced the autoflower amount to 1/2. Currently I'm researching living soil to use in future grows. 8/16 today I am sad. Sad that my grow is ending, sad that the grow environment was not ideal regarding nutrients, sad that I missed the optimum harvest window. They remain In the dark with fans and vent on.. Also I brought in the outside girls to put in darkness. Since I'm off my schedule, I give you some entertainment. You've been on GD for a while today. Get up and stretch and get cardio. Look up Sidh. See pic. Hot out of Europe, bagpipes like you've never heard before. 8/17 The girls have been in darkness for 2 days with no water. I opened the tent for pictures. Circe had aphids đŸ˜±. All the gals came out of the tent for examination. The other 2, Gaia and cream caramel are in air pots and did not have any bugs. Circe seemd to suffer the most from the fertilizer problem so was more stressed and susceptible to pests. Remember, I had to transplant her early on to a fabric bag. The fabric made a nice home for the aphids. This confirms not to use fabric for my weed grows. Today was wet trim and chop. I decided to get wet weight on Circe but hold off on trim. Weighed prior to spraying with the her off with the hose. She is hanging to dry but I am undecided whether to toss her or not. From my question, growers indicated that I was way past the harvest window based on King crown buds and it may have degraded to CBN and to toss. I have hope for Gaia and will take her thru cure and smoke. There are no amber trichomes on either Gaia or Circe at the start of 15 weeks even after missing the chop window. That may be the result of nutrient lockout or that CBG trichomes don't turn amber. If any one knows please let me know. I trimmed cream caramel while hubby trimmed Gaia. These ladies are hanging together in the garage. Circe is there too but on the other side of the room. Everything in the tent came out for alcohol wipe down and sprayed with Fox Farm "Don't Bug Me". Nothing goes back in the tent until I confirm all infestation has been cleared. The soil Circe was growing in has been disposed of in the ditch. The other soils in the air pots will be amended and reused. 8/18 trimmed outside girls. Had some bud damage. Not sure if bud rot or bug/worm damage? 8/19 well after power wash spray and 2 days of hanging, Circe still had a few aphids crawling around. So I chopped to pieces and put in the trash can. I didn't want to bring the infestation to my compost pile. The soil from fabric bag was spread out at the back of the yard. I have all the girls in the tent hanging and drying. So 2 weeks or so for smoke rreview. Wet weights Godesses and tent mates Circe 750g she was the largest. Unfortunate that I had to trash her. Gaia 508g Cream Caramel 616g Gelato 41 358g Outside girls Northern lights 282g Critical +2 120g All plants are hanging in the tent with a fan rotating outside the tent for air circulation. ***** SEEDSMAN DESCRIPTION: CBG, or cannabigerol to give it its full name, has received a lot of attention recently as a 'new' cannabinoid. Seedsman CBG Relief Auto allows growers to explore the virtues of CBG by way of a new auto-flowering strain. While it produces large amounts of CBG virtually no THC or CBD is present in mature plants grown from these seeds making it a completely legal choice in many countries. Characteristics: Breeder/Brand Seedsman Genetics Unknown Variety Mostly Sativa Flowering Type Autoflowering Sex Feminised Max. THC Content % 0% CBD Content % Low (0-1%) Taste/Flavour Floral Effect Body|Relaxing Medicinal Properties Currently being researched. Flowering Time 56 - 63 days from seed

Hallo und herzlich Willkommen in Woche 16/ BlĂŒtewoche 4 So die dritte Woche und somit eine sehr aufregende und spannende ist vorĂŒber. Der Phosphor und Kalium Bedarf erhöht sich in dieser arg und zu einem (N) StickstoffĂŒberschuss, haben wir gestern festgestellt, dass es anfĂ€ngliche Mangelerscheinung im P+ K Bereich gibt. Bisher betrifft dies die Sonnen- Segel die eher auf mittlerer Höhe sind. Nach dieser Feststellung haben wir uns den Flowa Bloom JU JU Royal DĂŒnger von der Zusammensetzung genauer angeschaut. Fazit: Das VerhĂ€ltnis an (N) in dem BlĂŒtedĂŒnger ist bei 5 und somit bekommen wir selbst nur mit dem BlĂŒtedĂŒnger den Stickstoff nicht reguliert. Ergo alte Schule, da wir keinen reinen PK 13-14 im Hause fĂŒhren bleibt uns im Moment nur die alternative auf den Bloom DĂŒnger von Biobizz zu gehen, da das VerhĂ€ltnis bei dem nur bei 2 liegt. Damit der Stickstoff auch durch P+K verarbeitet werden kann, benötigen wir Zucker, morgen soll dahingehend Top Max eintreffen. Wir hoffen, dass das Rausarbeiten des Stickstoffs durch oben genanntes gut verlĂ€uft, vielleicht etwas langsamer, weil wir immer noch einen kleinen Anteil an Stickstoff darin haben. Anderes Blatt Gut sieht in Ordnung aus, bis hierhin. Wetter: Da sich durch die Anfangs mistige Erde sich alles um gute 2 Wochen nach hinten verschoben hat, befinden wir uns jetzt in einer Periode mit sehr hohen und Trockenen Temperaturen. Demnach und das war auch schon lange ein Wunsch, haben wir jetzt ein KlimagerĂ€t installiert. Unser Streben darin werden keine absoluten Idealtemp. sein sondern so, dass es den Pflanzen nicht zu unangenehm wird. Das bedeutet das die Höchsttemperatur im Innenbereiches des Zeltes ca. bei 29- 30 Grad Celsius liegen wird. Ja ansonsten sieht es ganz okay aus :-) Die höchstwachsende Cola haben wir ein wenig zur Seite runter gebunden und passt jetzt schön zur Höhenebene der anderen LebensgefĂ€hrtinnen. Bisher sind auch keine Anzeichen von HEMA und auch die TrauermĂŒcken wurden von den Nematoden Sichtlich unterdrĂŒckt. Zu den Thripsen: Trotz Blausticker mĂŒssen einige noch vorhanden sein. Ansonsten war es das erst einmal und wĂŒnschen somit allen Growmies einen schönen chilligen Sonntag und eine Erfolgreiche neue Woche! Vielen Dank im Voraus, an all diejenigen die den unseren Report Besuchen, kommentieren und oder auch liken! VG!

12 day dry @ 58-63RH & 60-66F in blacked out dry tent | Glass Jar Cure with Inert gas Early taste test and I actually love this bud, is the best in house strain I've grown so far & the second Platinum cross. Flavorful Funky Sweet Orange cream cereal terps, the texture of the bud is buttery smooth, fluffy and pink/orange color when ground up. Bud has deeply potent effects that is IMO the perfect amount of heavy on the body but still euphoric and creative.. it makes you calm and happy! is checking off so many boxes not even cured, just smelling this batch makes a true connoisseur grin and bag appeal is insane

If you are lonely when you are alone, then you are in bad company. Bee pollen is considered a “vitamin bomb” due to the presence of almost all vitamins with an average of 0.02–0.7% of its total content, with a higher amount of water-soluble than fat-soluble vitamins. Bee pollen contains vitamins A, D, E, B1, B2, B6, and C. It also provides minerals such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, copper, manganese, iron, and selenium, I mixed a bunch of that with some honey and RAW cane molasses to make a nice big bucket of tea. A family friend who is a beekeeper was kind enough to share some honey. The nutritional content of raw honey is impressive and includes high levels of protein, amino acids, B vitamins, calcium, manganese, potassium, magnesium, zinc, and iron, as well as various polyphenolic antioxidants. I am loading up nature's finest sugars, and sweet things, Honey & Mollases. UV-B-induced DNA damage (CPDs and 6–4 PPs) can be repaired efficiently by photolyases. Pyrimidine dimers can be repaired by nucleotide excision repair (NER), or bypassed by replicative polymerases (Britt 2004). The expression of the CPD photolyase (PHR) gene is induced by UV-B light dependent on UVR8 signaling pathway, and is also induced by blue and UV-A light (Li et al. 2015) https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s44154-022-00076-9?fromPaywallRec=true Old but gold. The camera picks up far more light than there is during the night cycle, camera is showing bright pink violet collages but my eyes barely see a thing, about 0.25ppfd in that tent overnight. Have been tweaking the spectrum of moonlight/intensity and watching the responses overnight. Tweak, tweak, tweak all week. PAR is 400-700nm, Overnight UVA in the tent is all 365nm and 385nm, so the meter only picks up a fraction of the light curve that makes it photosynthetically active past 400nm. Of the light in the tent, 0.25ppfd is from UVA Looks like It makes them đŸ•ș đŸ•ș 💃 all night. Better flower soon or ill be screwed for space, they are stretching, but is it "the stretch"? She has fire in her belly. Growing crops with insufficient light (i.e., below “optimal,” as defined here) limits the yield potential, which in turn wastes the other production inputs including labour, water, nutrients and electricity. As lighting fixture is one of the most expensive investment of the production, what is the relationship between light intensity and yield? Potter and Duncombe (2012) grew cannabis plants with varying canopy-level PPFDs during the flowering stage and found that increasing PPFD from 400 to 900 ÎŒmol·m−2·s−1 increased yield an average of 1.3 times higher, across seven cultivars, with no light intensity treatment effects on floral cannabinoid concentrations. Vanhove et al. (2011) found that cannabis yields were 1.3 to 3.1 times higher (depending on cultivar) when plants were grown under approximately 1000 ÎŒmol·m−2·s−1 compared to approximately 450 ÎŒmol·m−2·s−1 during the flowering stage.It was predicted that cannabis yield would exhibit a saturating response to increasing Light intensity, thereby signifying an optimum light intensity range for indoor cannabis production. However, a new research from Morrison (2021), after 81 days‘ experiment, found that When plants grew under LI ranging from 1200 to 1800 ÎŒmol·m–2·s–1 provided by light emitting diodes (LEDs), inflorescence yield increased linearly as LI increased up to 1800 ÎŒmol·m–2·s–1. "Cannabis will not stop flowering if the lights are turned on for a few minutes once or twice during the 2-month-long flowering cycle. If a light is turned on for 5 to 30 minutes—long enough to disrupt the dark period—on 3 to 5 con­secutive nights, plants will start to revert to vegetative growth." "Less than one half of one foot-candle of light (0.1ppfd) from sunlight will prevent cannabis from flow­ering. That is a little more light than is reflected by a full moon on a clear night. Well-bred indica-dominant plants will revert within three days. Sativa-dominant plants take four to five days to revert to vegetative growth. Once they start to revegetate, it can take from four to six ad­ditional weeks to induce flowering again!" Guess ill find out my answer soon.

16 Diciembre: El runoff ha alcanzado los 10EC, las plantas siguen creando puntos de floración con espacio internodal corto, gracias al stress generativo, estån de 80~85cm de alto aprox. Hay una sola planta que tiene mås de 90cm. En unos 2 días mås se alcanzarån los 21 días de floración, ese día se harå una defoliacion grande y Lollipop, después de esa defoliacion se volverå a riego vegetativo para estimular el engorde de los cogollos. 18 Diciembre: hoy la EC del runoff alcanzó los 12EC, mañana se harån mås disparos de riego para bajar la EC del sustrato. Hoy también se realizó una defoliacion agresiva + Lollipop, para que haya mejor penetración de luz en el Canopy y mejor flujo de aire. Queda solo una semana de riego Generativo, después de eso se vuelve al riego vegetativo para engordar los cogollos.

Here the girls are on day 43 of flower. Lost track of the diary but had to share these beautiful ladies with you. Terps are a stank dank b.o and a sweet dank out of the 2 Jelly Donutz phenos. Also have 2 Orange Creampop looking fabulous. Good thing the nets up cause they would be falling over. I think they are still stacking on weight. One pheno is turning really purple daily

Hello, hello! Hope you're all doing well. Welcome to Week 7, Veg w/ Space Cookies. The Deets: The Good: -Space Cookies is moving well. I was able to make her quite a bit bigger by training her out this week. She took the space well and is filling up the new open space quickly. -Full transplant and first transition's feeding went very well and she took every drop. No burns, no dipping out, no attitude. -Strong like Bull. Every week she gets thicker and thicker. During transplant I buried a small portion of her stem to shore her up and it has proven to work very well. Smallest plant but has the thickest laterals and main. I really like this little one and I feel she has been the easiest to work with so far. Haven't faced as many issues with her as I have with the others (so far). Hope she keeps it up👌. -Pistil party! It's a girl! Yay!! So there's pistils. Not heavily pronounced yet, but clear as day. Will add in a picture tomorrow, but a little to shaky to take a proper photo, at the moment. Soon👍 -pH and PPM's are in check. Not too concerned about my ppm reads, as the new soil is warping these run-off numbers, but I'm very pleased to see her Run-off come back at a solid 6.2pH. A long road from the 5.3 I was battling for 1.5-2 weeks. The Bad: -Get atta here with that 'bad' nonsense. She's doing good😊 The 'Meh': -Got her to be a bigger bubble, but she lost some more height. Propped her up on the same ceramic pot that Do-Si-Dos was last grow. Almost a perfect height making an even canopy. -Really bushy. I open her up and it seems she's filled the empty space within 24 hours. Going to do a quick bottom to top defo and prune before moving her to flower. Still trying to learn what to take in Veg that will end up being nothing but LARF in Bloom. I feel I did a little better this time... but I'm positive there will be a lot to take in the early weeks of flower, during the stretch. -Before the transplant, I was running 24/7 extraction due to a weather change in my area. In her shorter 3 gallon pot, she picked up a bit of wind burn on the low end fans. I knew it was being pretty battered around, but I didn't really have a choice. I really needed that air exchange. These fans will be removed in near future if/when she needs/wants to cannibalize them. Notes of the Week: -All transplants were done with a 15mL/Gallon soil of Gaia Green 2-16-0 Bone Meal for slow release P/Cal throughout Bloom. Added bonus of keeping pH in check (somewhat like a dolomite lime). "Stim Root #1" for softwood applications has been used sparingly as well. Allows for zero delay when transplanting. Roots tap into new soil immediately. No stunting, no lost time. -A water feed was given to each girl in the past two days as I am back to my feed-feed-water schedule (and working well). I did include a small dose of GP3 Bloom, Humic acids, molasses and potassium silicate to keep her moving until the next feed (Bloom and Humic halved). Cut the Cal/Mag and pulling my Mag from the Bloom's 1.5%. -Training is pretty much over. PSK has a little work to do, but this week all the training ties will slowly be released and replaced with bracing cables. 5-6, 2 foot sticks of bamboo and 1, 3 foot main bamboo line have been inserted and will be used to pull laterals back inwards, give them strength, and help them carry their flowering weight. All bamboo sticks (except for the 3 foot main) were inserted into the new transplant soil where there would be no roots and no root interference. To reduce root interference on the 3 foot main, I sharpen to a point in order to push roots aside, not bluntly destroying them. -The flip is on the calendar. PSK is even in good shape now. It's time. Either Sunday, May 31st or June 1st these girls will be put into 12/12. I'm really looking forward to this, but as per the usual, I'm a little nervous. It's been a battle with them so far and I'm really, REALLY hoping Bloom goes a tad better then early Veg did. -Oddly enough, these plants are larger in size then grow #2, at the same period of time (49 days). Attributing earlier training and the SF for these changes. Keeping the girls shorter and using more LST has pushed them to move a bit faster. Noted. -Hygrowzyme and King Kola will be introduced into the new Bloom schedule in the coming week (s). I did not use the PK booster as early as recommended last grow and looking to see what changes I will see with proper applications, throughout flower. Hygrozyme will only be used for the first few weeks of Bloom. If anything feels amiss or my gut tells me somethings off, I'll stop it's use and just use what I know. Thank you for stopping by all ya'll. Been a pleasure to share this week and I look forward to sharing Bloom with you. I kept this one pretty short....Yay me! hahaha😅. Cheers everyone. Take care of you and yours, happy trails with the girls and see you on the other side. Peace!😃

With the switch of 18 hours of light, Aimee is definitely growing well. She is looking a bit skinny but I won't get myself into paranoia and just give her time. I think this will be the last time I LST her as I'm satisfied with the flat canopy. Now it's just about feeding her and enjoy watching her grow (:

I can see this strain having a great yield and quality potential with consistent optimal conditions, but haven’t found it the most resistant to any nutrient and ph imbalance or fluctuations.
