16.2.25:
I decided to check out the lower canopies of all plants to see if I need to get rid of any foliage.
I did get rid of a few small branches and leaves.
However, whilst I was doing this, I saw more garden pegs from my LST remaining.
There were about 6 or more in Pink Mist alone. Additionally, on Watermelon, there were some left in, too.
I'm so annoyed to see that because the plants are really stretching, and I could've potentially disrupted this by leaving the pegs in for all this time without realising it.
🤞 that I haven't compromised things too much. We'll see.
I watered today with 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 containing the following nutrients;
♡ .8g Green Leaf Nutrients PK booster
♡ .5g Ecothrive Biosys
I ordered quite a few things for the garden. I got Greenleaf Nutrients Sea K(elp) and Mega Crop Parts A+B. To go with their PK Booster I got last month. I'm excited to try it all together. Next run, maybe just using these. We'll see how it goes.
18.2.25:
The plants are going crazy for water! Everything is getting used right up so fast!
Today, I decided to add some more Black Strap Molasses to add some carbs and other micronutrients. I'll add the jar with the label in the photos section above.
I watered a very small amount to each plant.
What I put in:
♡ Black strap molasses 150g
♡ 2g Sea K(elp) Greenleaf nutrients.
I dissolved everything in 4ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4.
19.2.25:
I received the majority of the garden purchases that I made. I'm still waiting for the Ecothrive Life Cycle. I wanted to top dress, but it's been delayed unfortunately.
I am using my Greenleaf nutrients products which I bought on Amazon. I got the Mega Crop 2 part system Part A and Part B. I have the Sea K(elp), and the bud explosion PK booster.
I really wanted to get some of their sweet candy asking read many positive reviews. Unfortunately, for me, this is unavailable to buy currently. So that's a little disappointing.
I needed to do a good watering so when my nutes were delivered today, I got excited 🤗
I watered 2ltrs of dechlorinated water per plant, PH'd to 6.4, containing the following nutrients:
♡ 1g Mega Crop Part A
♡ 1g Mega Crop Part B
♡ .5g Sea K(elp).
The plants drank this up within a few hours.
I'm going to try and hold off on watering in hopes that my Ecothrive Life Cycle will arrive so I can top dress and water it in then.
20.2.25:
My Ecothrive Life Cycle arrived yesterday, and the plants are ready for their top dress and a good watering in.
I have some Biobizz Light Mix, Canna Coco,and perlite. I'm going to use this as a base to mix my amendments in.
I'm going to fill my 5 gallon bucket with about 4.5 gallons of my top dress mix. I will distribute this across 6, 4-5 gallon pots. Then I will water in well with Greenleaf nutrients Mega Crop Parts A+B and Sea K(elp).
I've made a crude attempt to video mixing my top dress. Don't listen to the audio. lol, my YouTube didn't stop playing whilst I recorded this 😂
So anyway, I added the following amendments to the above base mix of 4.5 gallons;
♡ 3 TBSP Ecothrive Life Cycle
♡ 3 TBSP Vitalink Bat Guano
♡ 3 TBSP Ecothrive Charge
♡ 1 TBSP RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules
♡ 6 TBSP Ground Cinnamon.

Hey there, fellow plant enthusiasts! Welcome back to another exciting update on my P.C.R. journey. We're now into the second week of veg, and let me tell you, things are really starting to take off!
These little beauties are soaking up the Aptus Holland veg mix like it's their own personal feast. The growth is phenomenal, and I couldn't be happier with how they're thriving. It's like they've hit their stride, and there's no stopping them now!
Let's talk numbers for a moment. My TDS is sitting comfortably at 420, ensuring the plants are getting just the right concentration of nutrients for optimal growth. The solution temperature is a cozy 21 degrees, creating the perfect environment for nutrient uptake. And of course, the pH is a stable 5.9, maintaining that sweet spot for nutrient absorption.
Feeding these plants is an absolute joy, especially with the Aptus Holland veg mix. It's like giving them a gourmet meal tailored to their exact needs. I can see the difference it's making in their lush, green foliage and sturdy stems.
Every day, I'm amazed by the progress these plants are making. It's like watching a masterpiece unfold before my eyes—a true testament to the power of nature and the wonders of cultivation.
A huge shoutout to Art Genetix for providing these phenomenal P.C.R. genetics that continue to impress me with their vigor and resilience. Your dedication to crafting exceptional strains is truly commendable!
I also want to express my gratitude to Grow Diaries for being a platform where I can document and share my journey with fellow growers. Your community support and feedback have been invaluable in shaping my cultivation practices.
And to the entire community of plant enthusiasts out there—whether you're a seasoned grower or just starting out—thank you for your ongoing support, inspiration, and camaraderie.
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue this green journey together. And as always, a heartfelt thank you to Aptus Holland for providing the nutrients that make it all possible. Here's to another week of growth, discovery, and endless possibilities!

Plant 1 has 2 sets of cotyledon leaves. Which is a neat mutation. Anyone else grow stardawg and seen this? I really tried getting the temperature up a little more this week. Worked a little too well and things coulda went south quick. Thankfully everything’s good. I do not have access to my grow as much as I would like? As I do not have sufficient space in my apartment for my grow, Iam forced to do so in my parents basement. Big shout out to my mom! For watering these girls for me. She actually shot some of the videos, and it is her voice you are sometimes hearing. Till next time. ✌️

👉Had to throw in some lights on pix for fun. The colors look cool. I use a led work light to highlight parts of the pant and make them show green. The plant is frosty and smelling sweet. Not a strong pungent smell, but a light lemony pine, especially when touched. The lower row of branches has two or three smaller side branches with a few small plump super mega frosty nuggets. At Harvest I will keep track of these and cure them together for comparison. Been Trichome hunting and from what Ive been able to ascertain its mostly clear with some milky and zero amber. Its at the end of the timeline from Growers Choice, 65 days, and it looks like 10+ days to go. Its possible it may not get many Ambers. I will let the plant decide. Right now its still got green leaves, except the scars of the earlier nutrient burn and the calcium deficiency. Have plucked a few under canopy leaves that were droopy and shaded. The upped canopy of leaves are still perked up and the buds slowly plumping up. Very few emerging pistols, 95% are red.
👉The nutrient mix is the"ripen" recipe on the General Hydroponics Flora series, using the full line mixed to make 1.3ec solution. I target the pH to be 5.9. The runoff EC is back to a more predictable climb in ec with no spikes. I rinse fertigated twice using 5.9pH RO water with 1.5mil/gal Calmag only. The pot is saturated at approximately 1.25l. So when I give it 2 liters, I get about .75liters run off.
👉I will begin prepping the dry area for the harvest and get all the jars and BV packs Ill need. I plan on keeping each cola and its good buds together and giving each its own jar. I dont anticipate harvest for another week or two. It wont be fully cured by Christmas, but its definitely going to help make the season brighter!

The thickening is complete! Into the ripening stage we go smelling like sweet bubblegum candy and chemically skunk cologne. Although she ran into some N tox late veg into early flower, she didn’t seem to care! Extremely thick and relatively dense buds, next level trichome coverage, and lowers that look like some of my tops when I first started growing 😂 Super satisfied with these results, and I have 4 more beans of this strain to run! She’s ready to chop now, but I want to allow my Cookie Monster (SamOG x FS) to finish drying first before harvesting this one.

"Delicious seeds" bank is one of my favorite. Every time germinated, impressive results and the taste! All 3 seeds popped and since I have some extra space in my tent, I decided to also stick a plant of AK74 by Trikoma seeds
03/08
Put for germ
04/08
Germinated and put into the growpot!
05/08
The sprouts are here!
06/08
A day off!
07/08
Growing bigger. The stem is getting long if you ask me, but tolerable
08/08
Nothing special here
09/08
Going strong. The leafs are eating well and grow big.
13/08
Had to go out from the city and nobody really took care of the plants. However, they look good enough after my time being off, although Eleven Roses look a bit curled and twisted, AK74 feels fine.
14-16/08
The plants getting bigger, thought I was still adjusting the setup and sometime the temperature was around 30C
16-18/08
Adjusting setup, feeding with RHIZOTONIC and starting vegetation here.

She's about ready to go down now. I'll chop her in a few days time. The heat is stressing her out badly and she needs to be hung. Aiming for a few weeks of dry time.

Hello 👋… This week kicks off w8 of flower for unknown but, again I’m a few days behind. As the pics and vid for this week suggests she’s, fading quite well and looks to be ready in maybe a week or so. Temps have been under control this week and with that being said she’s still packing on “frost” and her smell is something that, definitely rocks in a very stink but amazing way 😷🤤🤤. She’s also finished with recent end of 3w nute feed (Dr. Earth 💪) so I’m just letting her, finish up depleting what’s left in the medium.
This week kicks off (few days behind as well) w13 for wwa. As you can see still fattening up and packing more frost on as well. I’ve been checking for maturity of trichomes (still very new) and haven’t seen any majority of, milky cloudy or amber trichomes. I’m basically waiting for her to show me she’s ready and I believe that, maybe another week will do the job 🤞🤞🤷♂️. Also stopped feeding nutes as well. Oh yesssss and it’s VERY obvious that wwa will be producing some purple excellence 🤩😎😎.
Thanks for stopping by reader/fellow growmie. If you feel that I’m wrong please help a noob out! Will post more picks and some of trichomes ✌️.
Ps…. Soooo this part is actually an edit in which, I added more photo’s and most definitely believe both girls to be ready, judging by recent look at trichomes. However looking for more amber even though it isn’t necessary because, I prefer a “certain” relief 😮💨

Mohawk Meds: Banana Flambe (BF): Realized 2nd Week of germination the lighting was 12/12. Explains the slow start. Now its corrected and started to grow like they should. BF #4 was having some problems breaking soil. I had to dig it completely out and it was curly Qued, growing deeper into the soil the wrong way. I probably planted tap root up. I dug it out and corrected its growth direction. Its cotyledons were present just underground. Unfortunately, between miss planting, 12/12, and digging it up BF #4 did not make it. 😞 They have had spritz of 6.0ph waterx2 each day. Will start to bottom water to get those roots to stretch. Environment is consistent 79F, 60%RH, 320-390ppfd, & 650ppm CO2.

Weekly roundup.
📋 I've decided to not do any real training yet, she's had the lower 1st few set of leaves removed. Today's the last day of 18/6, so tomorrow morning the lights will come on at 9.00am. If I had more time I'd have probably done some training. She's done OK this week, she looks a little overwatered but I tend to find that with this strain.
Take it easy.
Back soon.

In general, I liked growing this variety, the only thing is a lot of small leaves, it is not very convenient to cut, but the colas are very dense and weigh well, there are also many small stepsons, although I cleaned up during unnecessary time, powdery mildew appeared after the rain, which is difficult get rid of the large number of leaves on the plant, and it's very good)

Week 2 for our banana purple punch from the fastbuds family
All looks good and the buds are forming real quick, we continue for now with master root and master bloom, next week we start to add some more addictives
Some plants had a little to much nutrients but we corrected the dosis and continue with a little less bloom nutrients! For the rest all good!!

So another week and some more thickening and ripening. The smell is like blueberry on one and the others are sweet as well. Slightly different smell to each. Watering when dry still at pH 6-6.6 and monitoring overall plant trichomes. At this point it's autopilot to the end. No more feeding with slow release and will slowly flush the remaining food out next few weeks. I like my trichomes to have some amber, not too much but mostly cloudy with some amber. Seems like most will be dense, except one plant I've called corona virus. It has smaller buds but are really resinous and smelly. Cheers and happy growing!

Day 56 - Ladies are starting to smell extremely strong as soon as you open the tent😋 Buds are still getting a little fatter everyday & much frostier as we get closer & closer to harvest! Make sure to check back in for more updates, thanks for following & happy growing friends!🙏🏼🌱✌️🏼
