Welcome back to week 9 This week will be mostly playing the waiting game and some post stretch defoliation on the Photos As all plants are done stretching, the feeding of PK was increased to support the bulking phase. The auto tent is getting more frosty every day with temps between 25-20 degrees Not much to do there, just ensuring reservoir is filled and airflow is good The photos are also done stretching….mostly….i hope 😬 The BBM now reached same height than the others and some side branches also If they stay like that for the next days I will do a final clean up defoliation on all 3 to get a bit more airflow and light penetration through all plants Feeding will reach its peak this and next week with 2.0-2.1 EC and 5.9PH and decreased slowly after that As an addition to my “why are photos stretching so crazy this time?” Question, I think I found the answer…. I started the PK a bit too early, as phosphorus in stretch makes plants grow more in between the branches… which is exactly what happened to all 3… they some times have 5-10cm spacing between the branches… Lesson learned: don’t start pk before stretch is REALLY done! 😅👍 Update: the BBM and BKH are both still growing 😬 while I first thought the CW would be the big stretcher…it now shows I was completely wrong… The CW is now the smallest in height and due to my LST the most dense I have all a heavy defoliation (not completely lollipoped but still a lot foliage removed) When I shut down the UCL it was complete darkness at the tray 😱 never had anything that dense and bushy I just hope I can keep the RH under control in late flower… And as a remark: I need new vents…both top fans get issues with the oscillation Those need to be replaced before late flower starts!

All in all I am quite happy with how things turned out. I got to use the short days to grow a photoperiod. This was not planed though, since it was packaged as a Skunk Auto. Unfortunately I again lost some (including the main bud) to mold. I think its Lemon Orange. Saw it grow before and it really looks the same. Smell is also in the neighbourhood ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Set up cost (fixed costs) -Lamp: 40€ -Timer: 3,5€ -Pot: 4€ -Total fixed costs: 47,5€ Given 5 years (or 15 grows) usage time translates to around 3,17€ per grow in materials. Variable costs: -Seed: 5,54€ -Soil: 4,5€ -Fertilizer: 3,50€ -Power: 26,90€ -Total variable costs: 40,44€ -Total costs per grow: 43,61€

Whew!! That was a Hot Week just past. Several days in a row of around 40 degrees followed by 38 and 39 degrees. Today however is Overcast and much cooler with about a 60% chance of rain later on. The Wifi plant hasn't seemed to mind the hot weather in fact she grew another inch or three. During summer and high temps it's beneficial for your outdoor grown plants to be given some Seaweed or Kelp solution. There is something in it that is fantastic for stress relief in all plants. It can be used at any time of the day and growth stage of the plant and is simply watered in or applied with a foliar sprayer. I also added to the soil 1 smalll scoop of Great White Mycorrhizal powder and Azospirillum. These are root innoculants that will keep the plants root zone healthy and happy. all thats needed is to thoroughly water it into the soil and your good to grow. I used my Bluelab soil ph probe to measure the soils ph which seems to be pretty stable at 6.5 so all good there not much else to report for now so I shall sign off for this week. Thankyou for checking in on my Diary update and because i wont be updating until after Christmas day I'd like to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas. Grey Wolf 19th December 2019

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!

This was an real easy plant to grow in my opinion. She didn't like to much nutrients. in week 4 i raised up the EC level to 1.4 and that was a bit to much for her had a little bit of tip burn and did go back to 1.0 EC. She was doing fine after that. after week 5 i slowly raised it up to max 1.4. She was a Strong plant with a few big side stalks and they are all very strong, i never had to have her supported, after week 6 you could really see she gained weight in her buds and she was looking great. Some nice buds with orange hairs in the end! In this grow i wanted to see what happened if i didn't defoiliate at all, but in her case i better had opened her up and gave the buds more light. I think then all buds had grown bigger. Next time i'm doing a lot more defoliation to compare. But that being said i think it is a beatifull plant with amazing buds and she smelled amazing. For one thing she is a bit hard to trim, i did first a quick haircut and removed all the big fan leaves, Then let her dry. It was a bit of a struggle to cut all the dry leaves between the hazy bud structure. Overal i think Dutch Passion has another great strain delivered and i can recommend it to everyone mostly because this is very strong and taste is awesome.

Some more growth, still underwhelmed with this grow. Think I’m going to order the mars hydro ts1000 as this ts600 seems to be too weak for my tent

The runtz are about 45cm start of this week and the tall LCC is 75cm. She is also further into flower, but did not spread out so much in the tent. RAK seems to be very good with high PPFD, for the LCC they need a bit less I can feel.

This fifth week started off kinda rough. I had to remove some sick leaves that got hit by leaf miners. I’ve cleaned up all the damaged parts from the plants, including this one. On Monday, I’m gonna spray them with a ready-to-use mix that has Neem oil, nettle extract, and horsetail. I also noticed a slight nutrient deficiency, probably because until now I was only watering with untreated tap water — didn’t check the pH at all. Even when I fertilized, I still used water with no pH adjustment. I’ve only just started using pH-controlled water like two or three times now, since I finally bought a pH meter. Now I’m watering and fertilizing with everything adjusted to 6.5, so that’s something I need to keep in mind from now on. I’m planning to bump up the fertilizer to 1 ml per 500 ml of water. I’m using Biobizz Bloom, and I wanna keep the dose like that because the pot is small — just 3.2 liters — so I don’t wanna overdo it with 1 liter of water. I’ve noticed that 500 ml works just fine, so I’ll stick to that. Other than that, everything seems to be going okay.

2/13: The LST is really starting to help fill in the spaces on Trainwreck, which is starting to really look bushy. Amnesia 3's LST is much easier and is giving me a more space between leaves to get access to the stems. They've started to smell fragrant over the weekend. The tomatoes that share the tent handled my quarter-strength nutrient mix very well, so I feel safe using it on these plants as well. I've turned up Amnesia 3's light to 75% to see if I can get the plant to fill out more, similar to the bushiness of Trainwreck. 2/15: Trainwreck's leaves are pointing down a bit, so I'm watering until I see some runoff, maybe a gallon or so. With the sheer amount of bushiness, I've been able to defoliate a few big original fan leaves that have been hanging out in the shade at the bottom. I've increased the light to 75% and have raised a couple inches to help promote stretch and light penetration to the lower canopies. LST is going well on both, but better on the more lanky Amnesia 3. Both seem very happy. 2/16: Trainwreck took the watering well. I noticed Amnesias leaves were pointing a bit downwards, the pot was super light, so I went ahead and watered a gallon with light runoff. Noticed some twisted wind burnt leaves on Amnesia, so I'm repositioning the fans for a less direct flow. Going to need to LST Amnesia a bit more tonight, as the main budsite is quite a bit higher than the others. Otherwise, things are looking okay. Thinking of buying some molasses here soon to add to the water. 2/17: Minor defoliation of shaded leaves near the soil. Still tough to defoliate Trainwreck given how bushy she is. Tucking the big fan leaves on her as much as possible to prevent shading any of the budsites. Since they're in flowering phase, I think my next watering will be with a quarter strength of Bloom nutrients. Molasses included if I have it by then. Only $3 at Walmart, I better!
