WEEKLY UPDATES:
9/20- 💥BOOM!💥 Week Six of flower is here and my girl's in high gear, stacking her flowers and pumping out trichomes!
Today I watered her with 1.5g de-chlorinated water with 5ml/g of Botanicare CalMag+ added, then ph'd to 6.2 @ 72℉. I turned her pot and plucked a couple of yellow shade leaves...the basic daily maintenance.
9/22- I didn't water her yesterday as she looked great and was 'praying' hard. Today she was given 1.5g of de-chlorinated water which was ph'd to 6.2 @ 72℉ which I gave her through her drip pan (bottom chuggin) and I also gave her pot a turn.
She continues to have a great deep green color that is beautifully contrasted by the snow white trichomes piling up on them! Her height has not really increased but she is extremely bushy with tight node spacing which will necessitate plucking some leaves to keep the light penetrating into her canopy.
9/24- We're getting close to wrapping up Week Five of flower in a couple of days and she'll be past the half-way point with the most exciting weeks yet to come!
I didn't water yesterday and today I went ahead and Top Dressed her with 2 tbsp/g Dr. Earth Flower Girl 3-9-4, 1 tbsp/g Dr. Earth Gold Premium 4-4-4, 1/2 cup Down To Earth Bio-Fish, 1/3 cup Down To Earth High Phosphorus Bat Guano and 2 cups of Worm Castings.
I watered in the Top Dress with 1.5g of de-chlorinated water which was ph'd to 6.2 @ 72℉ and let her enjoy her meal! 😜
9/26- After her heavy watering on the 24th I didn't water yesterday and when I checked her today at 'lights on' and she still had some weight to her pot and her leaves were praying hard so I held off on watering today and will hit her tomorrow with her usual 0.75g watering.
~Thanks for stopping in! Things should be getting a lot more interesting in the coming weeks...Stay lifted and be Blessed! 😎🙏~

☆♡ Purple Punch: I'm just watering with flower nutes, when dry.
I installed a small monkey fan to keep the air moving at the back of the tent, where they are.
Waiting on the harvest, but may still be a little while yet. I DID NOT TOP DRESS THESE! ☆♡
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.

Let me start saying that I started on soil Royal Dwarf ( RD ) last month 29th, and the Sweet Skunk ( SS) on the 30 th,
RD came out on the 1st and SS on the 2nd.
For this week not much, I gave the plants water every 2 days with nutrients. Royal Dwarf developed very fast from last week till today.
on this video notice that the smaller one is SS, the RD with very big and fat leaves.
I confess that I got a bit worried about the SS cause it was like to growing but, I guess it is taking her time..
RD I am starting some LST but nothing too serious yet.. Lets see for the next week how its going to be..
the height for RD is 10cm and for SS 6cm.
PS> It is my first time growing,,

Welcome back to the conclusion of the Lemons! Day 56 from seed on the dot and these two girls came down, which is crazy fast! I had originally planned to let these girls run for another week, but the stem snapping on LP#2 put an end to that as she wasn't recovering well by the next day and I thought better to harvest now. The trichomes are in a good spot anyway, so I don't feel like I've lost out at all. The wet weight is good, but massively inflated due to the stems, so I expect to lose at least 75% of that, but I still think these girls yielded reasonably well.
I like to dry in 2 stages in order to slow down that initial dry as the humidity is naturally quite low here. By leaving the stems and most of the leaves until Stage 2 I can control my dry time a little better. I leave the buds on the stems until they go into jars. There's no hard rule to how long I leave between stage 1 and 2, it depends entirely on how a particular dry is going and I judge it as it goes.
Dry took 6 days total, trimmed large leaves at day 3, the rest at day 6.

Getting bigger and bigger, I’m expecting big yields off the ScrOGed plant. The plant in the big tent is beginning to fatten up, especially the bud that was pollinated... both are still shooting new pistils everyday. The mother plant was cut around day 70 but I’m thinking these could go further than that, only time will tell!

Start of WK3 day 17 of flower.
As you can see the sour diesel has not stretched past the others. I just bought a new light (SE4500) and been hanging it about 30 inches from the canopy and this has def influenced this stretch.
The northern lights is my favorite structure so far, really tight nodes and are going to form some nice colas.
The Grandaddy purp I think has the most uniform canopy and feel its gonna fill out nicely.
Top dressed on 3-16 with Gaia green power bloom and all purpose along with some worm castings

3/3 COP is looking great. I should’ve grown her separately because 3/4 plants in the grow tent are indica dominant. I feel that she is the only one that is showing sativa dominant phenotype and is continuing to grow although budding has started. It worries me because I only have a few more inches of space to lift my lights before I may have to super crop her. She’s drinking about 2.5-3 gallons of water every 4-5 days. I also installed another scrog net.

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!

I transplanted everything over the past 3 or 4 days and am just giving them some time to break in their new shoes before I flip them. I got a new bottle of calmag I think the one I was using was old it's been on the shelf for a while. The heat is still a little lower than I would like and now with the bigger pots humidity has gone way up.

Another few weeks left in this lady so will continue too feed her until she starts too ripen ,
No problems at all too this point and she has had two weeks of more PK ,
I really do love these purple kush plants they look unreal
So she has started too foxtail this week and coming along nicely , I've started too flush now on day one of week 9 I hope she will be done around week 10
This is the second time I have grown a blackberry kush strain and I really have too say for me I love these plants not only because of the colour but more so the trimming is very minimal as these plants are all thick dense buds , so after you have picked off the main large fan leaves there really isn't much more too it , I like too keep on the sugar leaves for drying and cure because I can put the whole thing into my magical butter machine too make oil and get all the goodness possible ,
Should be ready right on Dutch passions flower time ,

We are very close to the harvest. One more week and it's good to go.
Feeding with water only. No more nutrients. Aroma from this plant its incredible, its like a very good man's perfume. Musky with fruit like tangerine and mango. Incredible.
