Well week 3 started on Monday, I'm late to the party, lol. Everything is going pretty decent so far. One surprise though...they have a smell. They didn't at this stage last time. Weird, lol. I gave them a slight trim and will be done with that until flowering. They seem very happy! ✌️❤️😁🍀🎶 EB

Cause Its the first time so many things fail . But I will do better ;) Thank you so much Smoke good. Love this smell and lust in the taste! The seed any grower must try once

Happy Independence Day! I got this Acid Dough wet trimmed in about 2 hours which is freaking awesome! She is sticky and stinky AF!!! This is my first run by Ripper Seeds, and I am honestly very very impressed, and it takes a bit to impress me. She will not yield as much as the Wedding Cheesecake, but cutting the trim time by 75% is worth it to me. I think she will put out around 12-13 zips dry, which I am happy with for an autoflower, especially one that was ready in under 90 days. I will absolutely be growing this again, only problem is my list is sooo freaking long with autos I want to try, and I am only growing 2 autos at a time now due to only having a 4X4 tent for flowering. I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend, be safe and blaze on!!! I ended up with 12.2 OZ dry, which I am happy with, but I definitely I know I can do much better. The buds are very dense, and absolutely smell pungent AF. I really enjoyed growing this strain, which was given to me from a fellow breeder who loves Acid Dough and spun this one to an Auto. I can't wait to squeeze these buds, as I they are so sticky and dense, I believe I may be able to achieve 25% yield, something I have never done before. I will definitely be growing some more from Ripper Seeds in the future, I believe they killed it with this strain. Thanks for stopping by, be safe, and Blaze On!

Pretty exciting week. Been doing last-minute prep to switch from Veg to flower, by moving lights around and adjusting them between blue and red to encourage growth in that last little stragglers. More significant though, we had a power outage in the middle of the day, mid week, that caused me to scramble to find light. This gave an added bonus because I the weather is getting better and I was able to expose my plants to some natural sunlight and air. You can see in the timelapse the combination of blue, red, and white light as I shift things around. NOTE: This week was also the start of the COVID-19 Self Quarantine, so the time at home gave me a lot more flexibility to tend to my babies. Plants have reached as high as 20 inches or more, but topped off the tallest ones because they were overpowering the smaller guys and also starting to droop. Plus I broke one trying to weave through the net. Next Week: Switch to Flower Stage!

Defoliating a little each week

Hey Grow Diaries fam, Welcome back to another update on our PCR adventure! We're at Week 9, which marks Week 4 of the flowering stage, and things are getting exciting! Overview The PCRs are flourishing, and the transformation is nothing short of spectacular. The tent is buzzing with energy, and every day brings new developments. The buds are swelling beautifully, and the trichome production is off the charts. This week has been all about maintaining optimal conditions and ensuring our ladies get everything they need to reach their full potential. Environment and Conditions Tent: 3x3, cleaned and prepped from top to bottom to ensure a pristine environment. Lighting: ViparSpectra P2000, delivering a perfect spectrum for this stage of growth. The balanced PAR output and efficient energy use keep our girls happy and thriving. Watering: TDS at 410, pH 5.8, and water temperature at 21°C. This ensures the nutrients are perfectly balanced and readily available. Nutrient Regimen We’ve kept up with our Aptus Holland feeding schedule, and it's paying off big time. Here's the current mix: Nutritional Spray: Aptus Holland NutriSpray to keep those leaves lush and healthy. TopBooster: Replaced StartBooster with TopBooster to promote flower development. P-Boost: Added to the mix for that extra phosphorus kick, crucial for blooming. K-Boost: a must for them to go fat as we like. The results speak for themselves – lush green foliage and robust bud formation. Defoliation At the end of this week, we performed a mass defoliation. It's always a bit nerve-wracking, but the results are worth it. Removing excess leaves ensures better light penetration and airflow, reducing the risk of mold and pests. Plus, it allows the plant to focus its energy on bud production. And let me tell you, after the defoliation, the PCRs look sexy as ever with their long legs and sculpted structure! Clones Update Our clones are thriving, showing the longest and whitest roots I've ever seen. We treated them with a water mix that included K-Boost and Mycor Mix at 1 gram per liter. This combination has worked wonders, promoting vigorous root development and overall plant health. Reflections This week has been a testament to the importance of a clean environment and precise nutrient management. The PCRs are responding exceptionally well, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with their progress. We're well on our way to an incredible harvest, and I can't wait to see these beauties in full bloom. A huge shout out to: Aptus Holland: For the top-notch nutrients and constant support. You guys rock! Art Genetix: For creating such an incredible strain. The PCRs are truly something special. Grow Diaries Community: Your support and feedback are invaluable. Keep the positive vibes coming! Here’s to another fantastic week of growing! Stay positive, keep pushing forward, and enjoy every moment of this beautiful journey.

I’ll start by saying I wasn’t going to but ended up defoliating today because I had to, there is so much vigor I had to free up the space to allow air to pass for better air circulation and light penetration! It’s been 7 days since I flipped and the girls are raging into flower and stretching so well, no laggy branches, just thick sturdiness!

Day 15 start of week 3 plant is still flying along but have started noticing a few deformities on the new growth sites. I don't know if it's anything to worry about but will ask the community anyway so see what is said by more experienced growers. Not long completed the first lot of LST. Happy with how that went and think pre bending the plant was a good idea to get it ready for the LST. Will do some more every 3 to 4 days depending on growth and try and get as many bud sites as possible exposed to the light. Day 16 was being paranoid about the deformities as they've grown out healthy. Did a little bit more LST by tucking a few of the larger fan leaves down to expose more growth sites. Overall still really happy with how its coming along. Day 17 noticed the skewers I was using for LST were slightly restricting the stem from growing so I have removed them and replaced them with skewers topped with soft adjustable hooks made from wire coating and twisted vaping wire. I have also done a little more LST to expose some growth sites that have got bigger overnight. Day 18 done quite a bit more LST today and pinned down a few more branches to expose new growth sites. Hopefully I haven't stressed her too much. Day 19 noticed a little bit of nitrogen burn on the tips of the new leaves. Will keep an eye on it and just feed water for now. Still looking good though. Day 20 shes looking a lot less stressed today and I haven't seen any new nitrogen burn on the new growth so maybe I just caught it in time. Gave her a little plain water and have tucked a few fan leaves but nothing major. Hopefully she will start to gain a little height now and I won't do any more LST until it is necessary. Day 21 have spoken with people far more knowledgeable than myself and will make some changes over the next week. Mainly lowering temperatures and humidity but also lifting the light a little as the leaf curl hasn't stopped. Its no where near as bad as it was. Anyway there's still plenty of new growth and she doesn't seem stunted at all even if she is stressed.

Heute Abend wird die Gute zerlegt und ihrer eigentlichen Bestimmung zugeführt. Erntedankfest Updates folgen... 21.06. Direkt an der Lady den Grobtrimm gestartet, ist für mich so angenehmer.. Gleich wird sie geerntet und aufgehängt. Die Luftfeuchtigkeit ist momentan recht hoch, der Luftentfeuchter läuft.. Hab die Triebe getrimmt und einzeln ins Zelt gehängt, Funzel aus, Abluft volles Rohr und Venti an...jetzt heißt es warten? Aber der Duft der beim Trimmen entstand, erinnert an diese gelben Lutschbonbons, super lecker👌 25.06. Nach einer Woche im Zelt zur Trocknung nun getrimmt und ins Glas getan

So good that decided to pollinate a lower branch with my MaiThai. Got 6-7 decent beans for future grows! Can’t wait!

Week 5 begins! Divine storm 1 & 2 are doing well, however DS2 is a bit hungrier. I believe that was do to her close location to the fan moving air around the bottom of the canopy. Increased feeding to 5 liters per plant and did some defoliation of the yellowing leaves. Moved the ladies to the other side of the room for the rest of the grow. Thanks for stopping by 👽🌳🔥

There isn't much more to say. The quality of the photos is not excellent because they are extracted from a direct instagram. I was hoping for a better result but it lost a lot of quality while saving the video. I'll make up for it with the photos of the dry plant trichomes and with the next cycles 😜 Thanks for following my diary and see you soon with the smoke report 🤘🦄

🗓️ Week 6 (Flower): Sticky Broccoli #1 — The Chromatic Transition & The 10ml/L Seaweed Offensive 🍋🌋 ​The Data Dump: We have officially hit the Week 6 milestone, and the Sativa-dominant Sticky Broccoli #1 is putting on a masterclass in late-stage floral maturation. We are moving past the "growth" phase and into a high-intensity period of secondary metabolite synthesis and biomass consolidation. ​🎨 The Chromatic Spectrum: Terminal Senescence ​The Autumnal Fade: The canopy is currently undergoing a stunning physiological shift. We are seeing a spectrum of yellows, oranges, and deep reds. This is more than just a "fade"—it’s the degradation of chlorophyll unmasking the plant's latent anthocyanins and carotenoids. ​Nutrient Translocation: This color shift confirms that the plant is strategically cannibalizing its remaining mobile nutrient reserves and relocating that vital energy into the swelling floral clusters. It’s the ultimate "last stand" to maximize bud density. ​🍋 Terpene Profile & Resin Saturation ​The Limonene Surge: The olfactory intensity has reached a critical level. We are dealing with an aggressive, dominant citrus profile—a sharp, "lemon-cleaner" punch that signals a massive concentration of Limonene. ​Trichome Lamination: The sugar leaves are officially "dripping." Instead of just a light frost, we are seeing a total saturation of glandular capitate-stalked trichomes. The resin is so thick it’s practically laminating the floral surfaces, creating a protective barrier of pure potency. ​ The 10ml/L Phytohormonal Blitz ​We’ve made a bold tactical adjustment by pushing the Cold-Pressed Seaweed Juice to a massive 10ml/L. ​The Logic: At this concentration, we aren't just "feeding" the plant; we are overwhelming the Rhizosphere with complex carbohydrates and cytokinins. This acts as a biological "turbocharger" for our Microbe Army. ​Metabolic Support: By super-charging the soil life, we ensure the Green Sensation and FFJ are being processed and delivered with zero latency. This keeps the metabolic "gears" turning even as the plant enters its final autumnal phase. ​🚀 Strategic Forecast: Structural Consolidation ​We are ignoring the trichome color for now—it's far too early for cloudy/amber data. Instead, we are monitoring structural markers: ​Calyx Swell: Watching for the individual calyxes to "crown" and harden, merging the loose stacks into solid blocks of flower mass. ​Pistil Recession: The engine stays at full throttle as long as we see those active, bright white pistils. Once they begin to recede and wither, we'll know we're in the endgame. ​💧 The Week 6 High-Octane Cocktail (Per Liter) ​🌊 Seaweed Juice: 10ml/L (The Metabolic Catalyst) ​🍌 Banana & Jaggery FFJ: 4ml/L (Organic P/K Energy) ​💥 Green Sensation: 1ml/L (Mineral P/K for Density) ​🍯 Sugar Royal: 1ml/L (Amino-driven Resin Synthesis) ​🌸 Power Buds: 1ml/L (Bio-stimulant for Stacking) ​ 🍵 Silica Tea: 2ml/L (Vascular Armor) ​ 💊 CalMag Boost: 1ml/L (Secondary Nutrient Buffer). ✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️ CONTINUED FROM WEEK 7... REPORT FROM THE SUBSURFACE COMMAND CENTER (SCC) TO: THE OVERGROUND ARCHITECT FROM: LIEUTENANT RADICLE, 1ST INFANTRY DIVISION (ROOT COMMAND) SUBJECT: PAGE 6: THE GREAT SWELL & THE POTASSIUM SIEGE ​Listen up, grunts! We are entering the "Heavyweight" rounds. We are in Flower Weeks 4 through 6. The objective is clear: Operation Sticky Broccoli needs to put on mass. I don't want to see airy, fluffy foliage. I want to see Stones.(Buds in human tongue) ​The "Leaf Brigade" upstairs has done their job—they’ve built the frame. Now, we provide the mortar and the bricks to fill it in. ​I. The Potassium Siege (NPK 1-3-4 Protocol) ​The Architect has just authorized the "Banana & Jaggery" supply drop. ​The Mission: Potassium (K) is our primary target. It’s the "Water Regulator." It’s what drives the internal pressure that swells the calyxes until they look like they’re about to pop. ​Tactical Order to Roots: "I want every ion of Potassium stripped from that soil! If you see a K molecule, tackle it, wrap it in a Humate shield, and fire it up the main vascular elevator immediately!" ​The Result: This is how we turn 'Broccoli' into 'Sticky Stones.' We are packing the cells so tight with fluids and minerals that the buds become hard as granite. ​II. Radio Transmission: SCC to Leaf Brigade (Canopy HQ) ​“SCC to Leaf Brigade, status report on the ‘Frost’ levels. Over.” “Root Command, this is the Leaf Brigade. The ‘Sticky’ in ‘Sticky Broccoli’ is officially online. Trichome production is at 110%. We are currently drowning in resin. Requesting more raw materials for the terpene labs. Over.” “Copy that, you sugar-drunk sun-bathers! We’re sending up a high-pressure surge of carbohydrates and micronutrients. Don't just sit there looking pretty—I want those buds getting so heavy that the Silica-reinforced branches start to groan! We’re pushing the Sugar Royal signals now. Get those trichomes cloudy! Out.” ​III. The Microbe Overtime: The "Jaggery" Bonus ​The introduction of Jaggery (complex sugars) has caused a riot in the Rhizosphere. ​The Scene: The bacteria and fungi are in a total feeding frenzy. I’ve never seen anything like it. They’re eating the sugars and, in exchange, they’re unlocking "Legacy Minerals" that have been stuck in the soil since Week 1. ​The Lieutenant’s Take: It’s a biological mosh pit down here. The Endo and Ecto specialists are working double shifts, mining the deepest corners of the fabric pot. They know that if they perform now, the Architect keeps the humates coming. ​IV. The pH Drift: The "Safety Valve" ​The Architect noticed the pH is climbing toward 6.8. ​Lieutenant’s Orders: "Keep it there! Do not—I repeat, DO NOT—attempt to force it down with harsh acids." ​The Intelligence: At this stage of the Siege, we actually want that slight drift. Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K) are highly available in that 6.6–6.8 zone. It’s the "Sweet Spot" for the Swell. We’re letting the chemistry work with us, not against us. ​V. Atmospheric Pressure (VPD 1.4 kPa) ​The air is now at 1.4 kPa. It’s like a vacuum cleaner is attached to the top of the plant. ​The Pumping Station: We are moving record amounts of "Sap-Fuel." The stalks are vibrating with the sheer volume of nutrient-rich water moving upward. ​The Warning: "Watch the tips! If the Leaf Brigade starts showing 'burnt tips,' it means we’re pumping too much pressure. Otherwise, full speed ahead!" ​LIEUTENANT’S SUMMARY: The "Swell" is in full effect. The Sticky Broccoli is becoming dense, heavy, and increasingly fragrant—the "Limonene War" is being won. We are no longer growing a plant; we are manufacturing Stones. Thank for stopping by ✌️💚

Transplanted the ladies this week! Moved them into a 4 gallon pot, I plan on letting them get settled and flipping to flower soon. Temps were good this week, RH was steady at about 60%. No big surprises with the transplant, however it did take them a day or two longer than my typical recovery time.

**Semaine 5 : Cinquième Semaine de Floraison – Phase Bulking (18-24 mars 2026)** **Note :** transition réussie vers le bulk végétatif. ### Contexte et Objectifs de la Semaine Semaine 5 = entrée franche dans le **bulking** pur. Le stretch est terminé, l’énergie est désormais massivement redirigée vers le gonflement des buds, la production de trichomes et l’accumulation de masse/resine. Steering : **végétatif confirmé** (irrigations fréquentes, runoff 20-30 %, dryback contrôlé mais moins agressif que pendant le stretch, VWC plus stable). Objectif principal : maximiser le volume et la densité des buds tout en maintenant une santé parfaite jusqu’au pic de résine (semaines 6-8). **Petit point éducation + tips sur la fin du stretch et le passage en bulking** - **Fin du stretch** : chez la plupart des variétés hybrides/indica-dominantes comme Sticky Broccoli, le stretch s’arrête ou ralentit fortement entre la fin de semaine 3 et milieu de semaine 5. Ici, seulement +10 cm cette semaine (vs +20 cm/semaine auparavant) → c’est **parfaitement normal et souhaitable**. La plante a fini d’étirer ses entrenœuds et passe en mode « remplissage ». - **Pourquoi les buds grossissent maintenant + trichomes apparaissent** : La combinaison steering végétatif + EC 2.6-2.95 + PK 13/14 + Sugar Royal + Green Sensation + enzymes + CO₂ 900 ppm + DLI 32 + UV 45 min/jour crée un environnement hyper favorable à la division cellulaire et à la biosynthèse des cannabinoïdes/terpènes. Les trichomes (glandes résineuses) commencent à se multiplier et à grossir dès la semaine 5 chez les génétiques résineuses. C’est le moment où on voit la plante « s’épaissir » vraiment. - **Tips concrets pour maximiser le bulking** : - Ne pas monter l’EC trop vite (3.2-3.4 risque de lockout léger en coco) - Garder le VPD jour 0.9-1.2 kPa et nuit 0.8-1.1 → transpiration optimale sans stress - Augmenter progressivement l’UV (45 → 90 min/jour en semaine 6) pour booster terpènes et THC - Surveiller le runoff pH (idéal 5.8-6.2) → si il descend sous 5.7, petite montée pH solution 0.1-0.2 - Photos tous les 2-3 jours pour détecter tôt tout jaunissement bas ou pointe de feuille qui brunit ### Observations des Plantes - **Plante dominante** : a clairement pris le dessus. Hauteur actuelle **~1m50** (seulement +10 cm cette semaine). Stretch terminé, structure très grosse et aérée, canopée dense mais bien pénétrée par la lumière. - **Buds** : commencent à vraiment grossir, les calices s’épaississent, premiers trichomes visibles à l’œil nu sur les buds supérieurs (légère brillance sucrée). Pistils encore majoritairement blancs mais commencent à s’enrouler légèrement. - **Vigueur générale** : excellente, vert profond, pas de carence visible, pas de burn, pas de pest. La plante secondaire est plus petite mais suit bien. Clones toujours très sains. - Zéro signe de stress, plantes en pleine forme et concentrées sur le remplissage floral. ### Paramètres Environnementaux (TrolMaster + GrowOps – synthèse 18-22 mars) - **Température jour** : 23-25 °C (cible actuelle 23-25, leaf temp ~24-27) - **Température nuit** : 18-20 °C (cible 18-20) - **Humidité jour** : 64-74 % → baisse progressive vers 60-70 en fin de semaine - **Humidité nuit** : 49-59 % - **VPD** : 0.8-1.2 kPa jour/nuit (stable et optimal pour bulking) - **PPFD moyen** : ~733-750 (max ~814) → DLI ~32 mol/m²/jour (parfait) - **UV** : 45 min/jour (prévu +45 min en semaine 6) - **CO₂** : setpoint 900 ppm jour (non mesuré précisément mais actif) - **EC solution** : 2.6-2.95 mS/cm (baisse légère récente à 2.6) - **pH solution** : 5.8-6.0 (runoff 5.8-6.2) - **Irrigation** : Fréquente, runoff 20-30 % quotidien - **Steering** : Végétatif (confirmé) - **Night dryback** : 8-12 % (très contrôlé) ### Problèmes et Ajustements Aucun problème majeur. - Légère baisse EC feed (de ~3.0-3.4 → 2.6) : volontaire pour éviter accumulation en coco pendant le pic de bulking. - Température jour un peu haute par moments (25-27 leaf) → surveiller pour éviter stretch résiduel ou transpiration excessive. - UV à 45 min → bonne montée prévue semaine 6. ### Plans pour la Semaine 6 - Continuer steering végétatif + possible petit pic EC/PK si buds semblent ralentir. - Augmenter UV à 90 min/jour. - Légère défoliation sélective (feuilles qui bloquent vraiment la lumière sur buds inférieurs). - Photos rapprochées pour suivre trichomes et gonflement. - Préparer clones mères si sélection finale. Ce journal sera mis à jour hebdomadairement. #GrowLegendary #Zamnesia #Plagron #EternityGrowCup2 Les buds prennent vraiment du volume maintenant, la plante dominante est impressionnante à 1m50 et les premiers trichomes visibles → ça sent le gros rendement qui arrive ! 🌱✨

Starting my flush this week using 10ml of Clearex per Gallon of water flushed down to 450EC or 225ppm, going to now continue watering with ph'd balanced water when dry with about 10-20% runoff. Going to keep an eye on the trichomes but I'm thinking I'm gonna harvest early to mid of next week. I'm going to try and bring out even more of the colors in the flowers this last week or two and I'm going to start watering with ice cold water not sure if it'll help or not but I'm gonna give it a shot. End of Week 13/Week 8 of Flower it went well the plants are flushed and are fading, going to chop in a few days.
