Well finally by day 80 the heavy rain is over and we are looking at afternoon showers, but sunny hot and humid until then. Well, relatively humid. About to finally get in there and tying some branches and picking little sucker branches that I don’t want. Branches appear as suckers to me when they’re more than likely located lower on the plant or at the interior in a way where it would grow with less light or grow inside the plant and congest the airflow, again with less light. I fed her a 2 Gallon Heavy Feeder mix. It will be watered in with tsp water that is 156 PPM @ pH of 8.5. Normally ALL waterings are done with an incredible amount of water from the garden hose that is from a well. I intend to feed with soil amendments and top dressings, however localized feeds or things like worm castings tea is coming up. I also foliar fed her one evening with phosphates, and the fulvex which is basically magnesium and fulvic acid with a yucca wetting agent. I want to help her to spread those roots! I know it sounds like a lot of molasses. But I’ve never had issues with large doses in these situations outdoors. The plants and microbes go bonkers for the stuff! Also that feed water went in strong but as it was watered in with the regular water, it diluted the tds quite a bit. Literally the following day, I am noticing what looks like more than preflowers. Is she really starting to flower an entire month early?! Last week er so, we had those 4 days of really cold, dark, rainy weather, that came after some nasty hot and super dry weather. Multiple plants have begun to flower on me! I suppose there is no problem getting an early start with things. But not this! I don’t want to go back and forth! She can be in vegetative stage and grow bigger and spread her roots. Grow and prepare for flowering stage. Then go into flowering stage and STAY in flowering, 100%. Not something crazy like: stop veg(preparing for flower) and just flower out with what was developed, then 2 weeks later realize it was too early and go back to Veg, only to jump right back into flower! I don’t want some kinda of chaotic misdirection of energy, for most likely some weird results. But we shall see. All I can say is, if she is going to flower, then flower hard! Don’t turn back.

Hello, my wonderful green-thumbed friends! Welcome to the Week 5 veg report for our fabulous P.C.R.s. This week has been all about new beginnings and meticulous care, as we continue to nurture these beauties towards their full potential. Let’s dive in! New Home, Sweet Home This week, our P.C.R.s made the big move to their new 3x3 tent, and boy, do they love it! Under the bright and consistent light of the ViparSpectra P2000, these plants are set to thrive. The P2000 is a game-changer, offering a full spectrum that mimics natural sunlight, ensuring our plants get the best light for every stage of their growth. It’s like bringing a slice of the sun indoors! Leaf Love and Clones We also took some leaves and cuts this week to encourage bushier growth and to propagate new plants. Each cut was carefully treated with Clonex Gel, a rooting hormone that gives our clones the best start. Think of it as a nutrient-packed smoothie for our cuttings, providing all they need to develop strong, healthy roots. To keep our new clones happy and hydrated, we used Clonex Mist, which is like a gentle rain shower, supplying essential nutrients and promoting robust root development. It’s all about giving them the TLC they need to become the next generation of thriving plants. TLC and Maintenance With the move, I made sure to maintain the optimal environment inside the tent. Our TDS is holding steady at 410, with a pH of 5.8 and a temperature of 21°C for watering. These parameters are crucial for nutrient uptake and overall plant health, ensuring our P.C.R.s have everything they need to flourish. Why We Do What We Do Understanding the importance of each step is key. The ViparSpectra P2000 not only ensures our plants receive the perfect light spectrum but also helps in energy efficiency, which is great for our environment and our energy bills! The Clonex Gel and Spray ensure that our clones have the best possible start, reducing transplant shock and speeding up root development. Keeping our grow space clean and organized also helps in preventing pests and diseases, creating a safe and healthy environment for our plants to thrive. It’s all about setting the stage for success and letting nature do the rest. In Conclusion Week 5 has been all about setting up our P.C.R.s for success. From the new tent setup to taking care of clones, every step has been filled with excitement and careful planning. The journey is just as important as the destination, and I’m thrilled to see these plants grow and flourish. Shout Outs A huge shout out to @aptusholland, our main sponsor, for their incredible products that keep our plants thriving. Another big thank you to @artgenetix for creating the phenomenal P.C.R. strain. And to the wonderful community at Grow Diaries and all our followers, your support and enthusiasm keep us going. Let's continue to grow together! Until next time, happy growing, and may your gardens be lush and green!

Day29: New sets of leaves. I'll repot and switch to proper Veg Lights on the weekend. Day30: I'll repot tomorrow. Day31: Repotting done. She had a crazy amount of roots in the seedling pot. MUCH more than I expected. I switched to Veg lights at 90% power. Day32: Settling in new pot Day33 & 34: I had to perform some maintenance on the tent. Lost some hours due to that. Day35: Growth really looking healthy. Although she's not really stretching high, she does look rather happy. I do like them thicc ;) General: I need to put the camera somewhere else so that the growth can be better seen. Right at the end I'll edit out the white flashes. They're caused by the humidifier running and will be really easy to cut out without losing the gist of the grow :)

This week, we feed mycorrhizal fungi to the plants and it gets the excellent results. The plants grow extraodinarily.

8/10 Monday. 12:05AM FULL RETARD MODE ACTIVATED 8/10 MOnday - looking good needs water will ask Grok: For your Fast Buds autos (RF3s + Mendo Frost) at roughly week 5 in coco, target an incoming EC of about 1.2–1.6 mS/cm (roughly 600–800 ppm on the 500 scale). 8/11 4:30am 550 PPFD is solid for where those plants appear to be. Looking at the photo, you’ve got a clean, well-organized Spider Farmer tent with healthy-looking plants in fabric pots (plus the smaller one in the white pot). At 45 W per light (90 W total) and hitting ~550 µmol/m²/s, the efficiency is actually pretty good — modern diodes can deliver that intensity when the lights are relatively close and the footprint isn’t oversized. Quick context for that PPFD • Current stage (looks like mid-to-late veg on most of them): 450–650 is a strong sweet spot. You’re right in the middle. • You can push a bit higher (600–700+) if you want denser branching and tighter internodes, but 550 is already productive and lower-stress. • Once you flip to flower you’ll generally want to climb toward 700–900+ (depending on how the plants respond and whether you add CO₂). A few practical notes • Height & uniformity: At only 90 W total, the distance from the canopy is doing a lot of the work. If the outer edges or lower plants are noticeably dimmer, you may need a slight height adjustment or to rotate pots so everything stays even. • Heat: 76 °F and 48 % RH is comfortable. With only 90 W you’re not fighting heat. • Dimming headroom. The plants look happy — good color, no obvious light stress or stretch. You’re in a good place. If you want to share the exact model of the lights or the tent size, I can give more specific height/PPFD targets. 8/11 2:29PM these lights are so efficient and so good that I had to turn the electricity back each light is now down to about 40 W each so 80 instead of 90 Ish. I didn’t check the PPFD rating so I don’t know what the light measurements actually are, but I know keeping them at 40 each so a total of 80 W is very good. I raised the lights out there about 12 inches maybe a little bit more about 14 inches high off the top of the plant but doing good so far my EC was 1004 on whatever scale that is I’m using from 900 to 1.2 is what was recommended for EC.

Blue Zushi - Dutch Passion Day 106 - Watered with 5 litres of RO tap water, with a reduced number of defined nutrients, mixed in order and then pH'd to 6.3. She has reached a stage now (around week 8-9 of flower), where I'm happy to start the flush process, so I'm easing her off the nutrients now and from her next watering, she will get no nutrients at all - this should take about ten days, after which I will harvest her 💪🏻. Not much work done on her this week, just a couple of leaves removed around the top bud sites to improve light penetration 👌🏻

***UPDATE*** ITS CHOPPIN DAY!! Late in day 87 I was going for macros. Made the decision while seeing MANY yellow trichomes that Wedding Glue from FastBuds is DONE! Attaching pics to the beginning of the weeks uploads. She sure turned out pretty asf didn't she? Lights out occurs in like 30min, and I'm going to work through the dark period stripping the large fans off. Utilizing my green Christmas lights hung up above lol. May turn light on low for a quick pic before chopping/hanging. Next update will be harvest! 2 Girls 1 Cup week 12? Hopefully the finish is this week... My my my how WG has fattened up the last 2 weeks. Trying to get some good macros since it's too hard to hold the scope to my phone and focus everything. Probably better for the existing trics too since they're not being touched. Day 84- these trics are taking their sweet time to ripen. Was considering picking up some GHE Ripen to speed the process up.. especially because a local shop is closing and everything is 40% off. Let's keep it simple this run. I'll get some additives for the next grow to enhance GHE's perfected formulas of macro/micros in the Flora series. An update on the "sample" I clipped from WG the other day. It's not dried/cured proper. Actually been sitting in a brown bag with the outlet of the tent blowing on it lol. Can taste some vanilla in it through the chlorophyll and shit still in the flowers. VERY heady effect that hits me like a friggin wave. Creativity and energy uplifted for sure. Looking for the bodies in there too to help with pain, so we shall wait even longer for those ambers to show. ==================================================== ========================== ========================== Day 85- stepped up our hole a size or two.. lol. May bring home the step bit to drill again before a dark period at the end. The girls STINK! Getting VERY close to chopping day. Ooooh I can't wait (but I gotta). Headies lasting between 2-3hrs which is great. ==================================================== ========================== ========================== Day 86- yellowing more as the days pass. no more ambers showing yet.. wasn't able to score anything good from the local shop today since it was almost empty already. Picked up a grove bag to give it a whirl with curing. May put some in glass to compare side by side with the bags. Figured I'd give their roots an ice bath since I've done other bro science. Shit, GK still hasn't popped a nanner after all I've put her through 🤣. *edit* added some late day WG only pics to show her fall colors coming in. Moving in fast now. Gotta get back up in WG's guts now and scope the progress daily. ==================================================== ========================== ========================== Day 87- the smell in the tent has become so powerful, I next day air'd a new charcoal filter 🤣. This one was reaching the end of its lifespan anyway.. but oh boy has the aroma increased. May be starting the 48hr lights out within the next day or two from the smells of it. ==================================================== ========================== ========================== As always, thanks for stopping by and checking out my current grow. If it's your first time, check previous weeks for these girls progress throughout their lives. days 27-70 timelapse @ https://youtu.be/8JdUkR36Wfc

Week 0 Day 1 Alrighty my first grow ever but I’ve done my research through growweedeasy.com. And I’ve decided to go with 70/30 mix of coco coir and pelucite into 5 gallon fabric pots dosed with Cal Mag; and I’m planning on feeding it with FloraTrio next week. Week 0 Day 2 They split around hour 19! Gonna wait for it to grow a little more then transfer into rapid rooter that came with the kit. Just Transferred into the rooter and keeping it warm on top of my pc, hoping to see some sort of sprouting by day 3/4 and good weather to transfer these babies over. So far, I’m just keeping the ziplok bag moist with 5.5-6.5 pH balanced water. Week 0 Day 3 Transferred the rooters into the final pot for the rest of their growth, these puppies are fast growers ! pH is a consistent 6.0, and I’m keeping them in my garage since it’s 60F outside. Hoping for warmer weather, at least when she sprouts her first couple of leaves. Week 0 Day 4 Just transferred the pots outside, hoping to get those sprouts some fresh sunlight. And hoping the good weather holds up. I think I should be able to start the coco coir nutrient schedule tomorrow. Going to base it off this schedule, Week 1 ( https://www.growweedeasy.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/coco-coir-flora-series-schedule.pdf ) Week 0 Day 5 Growth has been good so far, unfortunately it seems like one of the super lemon haze girlies didn’t make it :( i’ve started to feed them the nutrients from the seedling section of the schedule. Keeping an eye out for any changes. Week 0 Day 6 Spotted a couple of aphids, gonna look into natural insecticides/ordering ladybugs as a natural predator.

Another week Another round of topping..we're on 32 tops now so depending on how long the other girls take its probably the last round... she's not a big girl by my own doing but once I transplant her into a 5 gallon I feel like she'll explode with growth..I plan on staying in veg atleast another month..hope all is well and thanks for stopping by

Start of week 6. Week 5 went really well, this girl also got an extra 2 liter feeding on day 6 of 7 this week and it really shows with less droopage in the leaves and less yellowing and dying of leaves. The smell is a sweet earthy fragrance and the stickyness is great! Bud sites are filling in nicely!

They seem to be doing well. The ayo stopped growing about two weeks ago. She was culled a few days ago. Replaced her with the twin flame so that diary has been hauled. The twine flame by Bodhi Seeds is a beauty with the stacking this early in veg I can only imagine what this will turn into. I'm so excited. The Candyland x Mac1 is still suffering. The #sourlemondrops by #irvineseeds is doing well still suffering from plant respiration. The #lemonkush by #irvineseeds is blowing up. She's still thriving even though she's looks sick trust me she is NOT SICK she's sleep, the light just came on when I took the pictures. That's all. Thanks for stopping by, don't forget to check out my YouTube channel at "Ben Chasin'Big Budz", see you all next week.
