Hey Grow Diaries fam, We’ve reached Week 12, which marks Week 8 of flowering, and our PCRs are entering the final stretch! This is a crucial time in our grow, and we've made some significant changes to our routine to ensure the best possible finish for our beloved plants. Overview Our PCRs are looking absolutely stunning, with buds swelling to their full potential and trichomes sparkling like diamonds. This week, we’ve shifted our focus to flushing and preparing the soil for future use. Environment and Conditions Tent: 3x3, kept clean and efficient for optimal growing conditions. Lighting: ViparSpectra P2000, still providing the perfect spectrum as we approach harvest. Watering: TDS at 130, pH 6.8, and water temperature at 21°C, a significant shift from our previous nutrient-rich regimen. Nutrient Regimen This week, we’ve stopped all nutrient feedings and switched to using Aptus Holland Enzym+ exclusively. Here’s why: Aptus Holland Enzym+: This enzyme product is designed to break down dead root material and organic matter, converting it into usable nutrients for the plant. This process helps in: Clearing Residual Nutrients: Ensuring that the plants use up any remaining nutrients in the soil. Improving Soil Health: Enhancing the soil's microbial life, which is crucial for future grows. Promoting Clean Finish: Helping to ensure a smoother, cleaner taste in the final product by reducing excess nutrients and salts in the buds. The shift to Enzym+ at this stage is about preparing the plants for harvest and also ensuring that the soil can be reused effectively. Growth and Development The PCRs are in their final flowering phase, and they look incredible. With the nutrients now being flushed out, we’re focusing on maximizing the quality of the final buds. The leaves are starting to fade, signaling that the plants are using up their stored nutrients, which is exactly what we want to see at this stage. Soil Reuse One of the key advantages of using Aptus Holland products, especially Enzym+, is the ability to reuse the soil. Here’s how we do it: Soil Conditioning: The enzymes break down organic matter, improving soil structure and fertility. Microbial Boost: Enhances microbial activity, which is essential for nutrient cycling and soil health. Cost-Effective: Reusing soil reduces costs and minimizes waste, making our grow more sustainable. By reusing the soil, we ensure that our next grow starts with a rich, healthy medium, full of beneficial microbes and ready to support another batch of robust plants. Reflections This week has been all about transitioning our plants from heavy feeding to a clean finish. The Aptus Holland Enzym+ is doing its job beautifully, and the PCRs are responding well. The reduced TDS and adjusted pH are ensuring that we’re flushing out any residual nutrients, setting us up for a top-notch harvest. Shout Outs A huge shout out to: Aptus Holland: Your products make every stage of this grow a success. Enzym+ is a game-changer! Art Genetix: The PCRs continue to impress with their vigor and quality. Grow Diaries Community: Your support and advice are invaluable. Here’s to another fantastic week of growing! Stay positive, keep those good vibes flowing, and let’s get ready for a bountiful harvest.

Week 5 and the plants love the balcony. I will be buying some things to protect from wind tunnels on my balcony as the plant gets taller. These plants i have to be quite vigilant with lst because i cant let them get to big. The stems are thick and leaves are nice and lush.

Plants are doing well! Great genetics so far and easy to grow! The 2 gorillas that went into flower weeks ago I’m not 100% sure if they were photos. Should have been but they are still budding. Full of tons of leaves so I’m hoping for a reveg but not sure if that’s because of the worm castings giving that nitrogen or if they are in reveg. I’m gonna let them ride and we shall see what happens. I’ve done some lower defoliation along with removing some really huge leaves to open it up and let light in. These plants are seriously really Hardy! Super thick stalks and healthy leaves. Really happy with these seeds so far!

So this beautiful OG kush has been finally Transplanted into her definitive 25L pot for this season, I've prepared the pot with the complete line of biotabs, I've added 25G of startrex for every 5L of soil, then I sprinkled a couple of grams of mycotrex on tje planting hole and after the Transplant was successfully completed I added 5 biotabs slow release fertilizer (one for every 5L of soil) and then just watered the plant immediately with 1g per liter of orgatrex and 1g per liter of bactrex, let's see how this beautiful OG kush pheno #1 develops!! Can't wait!

Awesome! Went away for 10 days over Christmas and was not sure what to expect when I got back. Obviously re-potting them and letting them dry out has been effective. I've started adding a little Fish Mix to their water. I don't think they need it but I'll go really slow and try it out on my tomatoes to see what effect it has on them. I'm cautious about drowning them in nutrients as I have no experience with this and don't want to slow the grow down any more than I already have.

So my struggles are finally paying off my girls went into flower!!! Northern lights- did some low stress training to bring main cola down away from light. Added some vinegar in bowls and shot glasses to grow tent to control these flying knats(which bite). Pineapple auto- she's in flower I'm just concerned with all the lower leaf issue's that it's going to affect buds. I've over watered this plant which started the leaf issue's at like 3 weeks. At week 4 I trimmed all the fan leaves off which put it in stress almost haulting all growth for a week. Oh and the knats! I will never use walmart soil again for my grows or house plants. The neem oil has really knocked alot of them out. So the leaf burn and star leaves began at week 5 and it was the only feeding i gave my plants with cal mag and within 2 days the throwing star leaves and burning began.. not sure if it was the cal mag or the knats being so bad at that time. But thru all of it this plant has been a fighter!! You can see in pics the new growth and bud sights are healthy so I hope she fights all the way to the end! I would like to thank Growdiaires and it's community for the opportunity to help and share with others. I appreciate all help, views, likes, comments and support. We all share a common interest and knowledge is power! Thanks again till next week.

Week 9, day 57.... started this week with a feeding of pH 6.0 plain water. Hope she start to fatten up really soon. I'm going to take it a little light with the feeding this week because I gave her some nutrient burn.i also noticed some of her older leaves are getting a little yellow, is that something I should worry about? Day 58..... she's ok, took a few pictures of her leaves that has those dull spots. Hopefully someone can lead me in the right direction. I see very little progress with her buds swelling. I do have a heater in my tent which is right next to this plant(not facing or touching) and I was reading about heat stress, could it be that she's this tall because of it? I did switch around my 2 plants in the tent. I'll monitor and let you guys know in a few days. Day 59.....this plant is really big, she's taking up more than half of my tent. About the deficiency, I don't know exactly what it is but I tested the ppm runoff and it's about 3500 which is really high. I honestly never tested the ppm of my feedings. She's going to get a nice flush and I'll be monitoring my ppm from now on. He buds do seem to be fattening up slowly but it's noticable every day. Day 60.....well her leaves are looking better but you can see the nutrient burn on the tips. This plant looks very different from the rest of @fast_buds girl scout cookies. I just hope she swell up before she's ready to harvest. Day 61......took a look at her trichomes and to me they look milky. I don't know if her buds will get any bigger. 😥. Day 63......last day of week 9, gave her pH 6.0 plain water today. Took a macro shot of her trichomes, let me know what you guys think.

Ich habe nun ein Netz eingespannt damit jedem Trieb ein Quadrat bleibt, wenn diese nun etwas durch gewachsen sind schneide ich alles weg was unterm Netz hängt.

3 of the 4 seeds popped. I can see the other one in the rapid rooter but I added another stardawg just to keep things moving. I started with 300 ppm and got the NFT system running and new HLG 260’s at 36” above them turned all the way down.

Hello everyone :-) A lot has happened this week 🤗. It has developed very nicely and its roots have exploded properly 😍. It is also slowly becoming lighter, since it has obviously been slowly consuming its nutrients from the soil :-) That is why it was repotted today, mixing 2 g per liter. soil Green House Powder Feeding Bio Grow between the soil. Then everything was mixed and distributed well, and the plant used. I hope that's the little shortcoming is quickly picked up :-) When watering, 1.5 g of enhancer per liter was added :-) Unfortunately I noticed too late that I didn't take any pictures of the root ball while repotting 🤦‍♂️🏻. I look forward to seeing how it evolves this week. Above all, I am excited to see how she is doing with the Green House Powder Feeding BioGrow , as I have been used to mixing everything for each wash separately 😊. During the course of this week I will also spontaneously decide whether I will give her an LST, topping fimming, etc., since I have to see how I am in the vegi phase, because the Cup has a limited time 😁. I wish you all a lot of fun watching, have a nice week, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow ☘️👍 . Green House Seeds Company Cup 🏆 Type: Wonder Pie ☝️🏼 Genetics: Wedding Cake x OG Kush 👍😍 Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow Led Quantum Board 100 W 💡 Flower Lamp : 2 x Todogrow Led Cxb 3590 COB 3500 K 220 W 💡💡☝️🏼 Earth: Canna Bio ☝️🏼 Fertilizer: Bio Grow Feeding ( GHSC ) , Enhancer ( GHSC ) , Bio Bloom ( GHSC) ☝️🏼🌱 Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.

I will be focusing this diary on the smoothie strain but you’ll be seeing some other plants in the tent that are not the same strain. I only have room in this tent so bare with me. There are 2 Smoothie, 1 CNC, and 1 Stardawg (dog). The smoothie are the two bigger ones in the back of the tent. Now, the Smoothie from FastBuds is just killin it right now. Since I popped the beans they have done nothing but show signs of greatness. I don’t think this one is gonna slow down much either. I’m going to push these plants harder than my last harvest. I had a really really amazing harvest last time. I was even able to pull sap out of all 4 plants. 2 Zkittles and 2 LSD-25. This was all done by feeding at the right times and keeping a “moist” soil. Also I want add that I ran pretty much the entire line of Nectar for the Gods at a little less then the recommended ratios. This time I plan on going a tiny bit over the recommended ratios just to see what these plants will do. Trust me, if the plants have a bad response I will go back to the recommended ratios. The reason I want to do this is because I really think these auto strains can handle a lot more than a regular flowering cycle plant would. They can handle more stress, that’s for sure. When do you think I should add a compost tea into my regimen? Soon or wait till the plant is a little larger?
