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.

Esa familia, estoy de nuevo por aquí, os traigo la última semana de crecimiento de estas candy caramelo de Zambezaseeds. Estoy bastante contento las 3 son simétricas están creciendo en un tanque de 7 litros en los cuales aportamos el primer riego con nutrientes para solventar alguna carencia leve, sobre todo de nitrógeno pero nada como echarles de comer. El ph está controlado, la temperatura no aumenta de 26 grados y la humedad la mantenemos por encima de 50%. Cómo apreciáis, todo va sobre ruedas, veremos que tal se comportan de ahora en adelante, saludos fumetillas y buenos humos.

This week went without any problems. They're on scedule and next week I'll repot them. I'm gonna keep 4 out of 5 because I have only room for 4 plants in 15 liter airpots. On day 12 I removed the seedling that was making the least progress. It gave me the opportunity to check the roots and they looked fine. I'll guess it will be the same with the other seedlings. I've already filled the airpots and placed them in the tent so they can heat up a bit. There's a large heating mat (RootIt 40 x 120 cm/ 15.7 x 47.2 inch) underneath the pots to keep the substrate at 21 – 22 °C (69.8 – 71.6 °F) I've given them 70 ml ph-adjusted tapwater + Plagron nutrients( amounts see above) each once this week. Once a day I spray them with a solution of CannaCure and tapwater (15ml + 150ml tapwater, ph level = 6.1) The cobs are at 68 watt with a distance of 49cm (19.2 inches) from the Pineapple Chunks giving a DLI of 19. Temperatures fluctuated between 21.7 – 24.2 °C (71 – 75.5 °F) and humidity between 51 – 94 % I've turned on the Airfan and the fan-controller is set at 30-35%. Up to next week! 🤘 Do you want to grow this strain? 👉 https://www.barneysfarm.us/pineapple-chunk-weed-strain-15 👈

This strain has a yield of extra large, compact colas that are heavy in weight and covered in extra adhesive trichomes that stick to your fingers. Cherry Punch's exterior is dark green and exhibits small amounts of midnight purple leaves Cherry Punch's exterior is dark green and exhibits small amounts of midnight purple leaves. Its aroma is fruity but skunk-like, and has a soft, sweet berry taste that resembles its parent Purple Punch

Looking really good. great size plants, flowering is starting to look dank!

This week went by good plant have some very good bud sites developing on them this strain has done very good and overall happy with the way they are growing

Die Pflanze hat sich schön weiterentwickelt. 3 Tage nach dem toppen, waren die obersten Triebe soweit entwickelt, dass ich die obersten Sonnensegel entfernen konnte, da diese die untersten Triebe verdeckten. 4 Tage nach dem toppen, habe ich angefangen, mit LST-Clips, die Triebe nach außen und in die gewünschte Richtung, zu trainieren. Am 6 Tag der Woche, habe ich begonnen, neue Triebe zu entfernen, jedoch die Sonnensegel der Triebe, lasse ich stehen. Da ich die Triebe eh später entfernen würde, mache ich dies gleich am Anfang, somit muss die Pflanze keine Kraft auf diese Triebe verschwenden. Am 7 Tag wurden die beiden obersten Triebe noch einmal getoppt. Bis jetzt ist das Training aufgegangen. Die Pflanze geht in die Breite und die Triebe liegen in etwa auf gleicher Höhe. Erstaunlich finde ich, wie sehr die Pflanze, in Living Soil, auf zu viel Feuchtigkeit, reagiert. Da ich ein Paar Trauermücken im Zelt und auf den Gelbtafeln gefunden habe, wollte ich mit Nematoden gegensteuern. Deshalb habe ich 1 Liter, mit Nematoden, am Anfang der Woche gegossen. Das Tensiometer hat 48 mbar angezeigt und ist im Verlauf der Woche, auf 91 mbar, langsam gestiegen. Dies hat man im Verlauf der Woche, am neuen Wuchs, gesehen. Es hat deutlich länger gedauert bis die Blätter von hell Grün auf dunkel Grün gewechselt sind. Auch haben einige Blätter helle Spitzen und Ränder bekommen. Die Luftfeuchtigkeit habe ich diese Woche noch einmal leicht gesenkt. Die LED ist so weit entfernt, dass wir ca. 450 PPFD und einen DLI von ca. 25, hatten. Die Parameter: Controller Einstellung Tag: Advanced AI Luftfeuchtigkeit 57% - 67% Controller Einstellung Nacht: Advanced AI Luftfeuchtigkeit 50% - 60% Durchschnittliche Tagestemperatur: 26,2 Grad Durchschnittliche Nachttemperatur: 23,1 Grad Durchschnittliche Luftfeuchtigkeit Tag: 62,5% Durchschnittliche Luftfeuchtigkeit Nacht: 57,3% Durchschnittlicher VPD Tag: 1,1 Durchschnittlicher VPD Nacht: 1,0 LED Leistung: 20% = 95 Watt Beleuchtungsdauer: 18 Stunden Umluft: Stufe 1 oszillierend

mega girl, she has already left with her friends to her permanent home:) I will visit them once a week:)

Hi all buddies! First crop from hydro nft growth. Growth went well, I had some management problems in changing nutrients from veg to bloom which delayed the harvest for a week or two. Sensi Seeds' Skunk # 1F is incredibly resistant to mold and insect attacks, very close internodes ensure low height and compact buds. Unfortunately I chose the mother phenotype wrong, I found the lowest as I wanted but I lost the fatness of the buds present in other phenotypes, but the game was worth the same and I am very proud of it! I collected after 94 days of flowering, the last 72h 20kg ice cubes in the tank and total darkness which the last 24h without irrigation. After cutting I hung the whole plants in the tent for 24 / 48h 19 ° C 55% HR. Two days of wet trim to 8 girls and I hung their colas in the tent to continue drying. With a girl i tried dry trim but i will avoid next time. After a week in the tent I cleaned the colas and removed all the sticks, I placed everything in airtight bags in the refrigerator for 5 days 12 ° C 65% HR (daily check). Now dark storage room at a temperature of 18 ° C 65% HR. At the last weighing a few days ago it was more than 500g, from now it does not lose any more weight. Next week I will take pictures of the weigher and the finished harvest🍀🍀🍀 target!!🍀500g dry/cured🔥 Thank you GD community you are precious for everything, criticism, advice, curiosity, thanks 💚🌱✊🏼 Awesome people here on GD🔥🔥🔥

Gestart met de scrogg ik heb 2 planten die nog wat klein zijn maar dat groeid wel bij 😏De komende tijd lekker vakjes vullen met toppen 😉😉

21/4 a beautiful plant, but this time the growth of the branches, had problems turning into each other! until it looks like a single bush !. now it's taking shape, because I cut all the extra leaves and twigs that were blocking the light. I look forward to!

Over all was an amazing grow, super sticky dense nugs with smell of berries, highly recommended for everyone!!

Buds r slowly rippening mostly cloudy trichomes no amber yet checking daily split stems for final stress decrease in light hours extended dark for aiding ripening

The last day

E passata la prima settimana e sono rimasto veramente sorpreso! Non ho mai visto una crescita così veloce è vigorosa in una autofiorente, come da regola una buona genetica alla base è tutto! Queste sono genetiche autofiorenti Veramente di alta qualità, di un altro livello! Adesso parliamo degli sviluppi e cambiamenti.... Una crescita esplosiva in ognuna di loro specialmente nella Strawberry milk and Qookies Remix che sembra essere la più alta e spessa tra tutte (per adesso), tutte stanno veramente molto bene anche perché ho preparato una tabella di nutrizione veramente molto ricca e completa, sto utilizzando tutta la linea connoiseur più tutti gli additivi e stimolatori di advanced nutrients e come sempre, devo dire che il loro lavoro si vede! Potete già vedere in soli 7 giorni una crescita esplosiva (sul substrato) di trichoderma, micelio, e batteri (si vede quando il substrato sembra umido ma in realtà è asciutto), questi sono piccoli segnali che mi fanno capire che nelle loro bottiglie ci sta un vero e proprio ecosistema! Non sto seguendo la loro tabella e neanche i loro ml, ho preparato un alimentazione in base alla mia esperienza e conoscenza, per ora è tutto alla grande ed è fantastico perché penso che le autofiorenti devono avere una germinazione perfetta per poter dare tutta la loro vigorosità nel seguito... Dopo questa partenza, night owl è entrato nel mio cuore perché non è solo una di loro ad essere più veloce e vigorosa ma sono tutte è 4 quindi parliamo che ogni incrocio che fa questo ragazzo deve essere un grande successo 😍!.... Io vi vorrei invitare a tutti a seguire la sua pagina personale Instagram così da poter vedere tutti i suoi crossing , perché sono uno più bello dell'altro! Autopot ancora non l'ho avviato ma ho acceso le pompe ad aria con AIRDOME in ogni vaso in modo che possano avere un po' di ossigeno in più le radici. Per adesso ho avviato il progetto con una lampada Mars hydro ts1000 solo perché ha un buon spettro tendente al bianco ed infatti si e rivelata un successo per la germinazione, ma tra altri 7 giorni cambierò la lampada ed installerò la lampada per il quale ho avviato questo progetto, sto parlando della fantastica EAGLE SERIES E520 di growers republic il quale sono diventato un loro tester è volevo prendermi due parole per ringraziarti tantissimo per il loro supporto e sostegno, sono delle persone fantastiche sempre pronte ad aiutare ed ascoltare il coltivatore (non tutti sono così, tipo con Mars hydro tutto questo lo puoi solo sognare...con loro ho avuto veramente una brutta esperienza infatti utilizzo le loro lampade solo per germinare i semi. Fanno led buoni per il prezzo che offrono ma onestamente il servizio clienti fa veramente piangere!) . Growers republic è una azienda che ascolta il coltivatore e ha un approccio diretto con te ed è veramente molto attenta ad ogni minimo tuo particolare, e volevo consigliare a tutti voi di andare sul loro sito a vedere i loro prodotti perché fanno veramente paura! Lampade led di prima qualità a partire dal design innovativo che si presenta abbastanza massiccio (non come il resto delle aziende che produce led plastificati), lo spettro fa veramente rabbrividire perché ha un IR potenziato è si vede tantissimo! È stata anche progettata per avere la temperatura sotto controllo è non supera i 35c di calore! Sprigiona ben più di 1400 umol/j essendo così una delle lampade più potenti che ho mai provato Potete trovare i led growers republic qui: https://growers-republic.com/ Quindi ricapitolando: Midnight Marathon F4 91 Grapes Strawberry milk and Qookies Remix Hervey Wellbanger Queste sono le genetiche che sto coltivando in questo progetto con Night owl ..... Spero che possa interessare a qualcuno di voi e spero tanto che sia stato di aiuto per qualcuno ! Grazie mille a tutti gli sponsor: Growers republic Autopot Night owl Advanced Nutrients E un grande grazie a tutti il pubblico di growdiaries che è passato di qui lasciando un like per il supporto! Grazie infinite a tutti voi 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼❤️

🌾 Harvest Day — The Grand Finale of the Eternity Grow Cup 🌾 Days 72–73 | Trimmed on May 25 | Posted May 27 What a journey this has been — and what a finish. These five incredible Runtz phenos have now completed their cycle, and today, we celebrate the final stage of their flowering life: the Harvest. We sent the girls into darkness on Day 70, allowing them a full 48+ hours of rest and reset. The dark period was just a bit longer, truth be told, because time… it flows as it must. This extended dark time helps increase resin production, allowing the trichomes to mature just that final bit more. On Days 72 and 73, we harvested them with care and reverence. Each plant was hung upside down, whole, in a perfectly controlled 60% humidity environment for 13 full days. Before hanging, we gently removed only the fan leaves, leaving all trichome-rich sugar leaves in place — a natural armor for the delicate resin glands during drying. Why do we do this? Because those sugar leaves help protect the essential oils and terpenes, preserving potency, flavor, and aroma for the smoothest experience later on. 🌿 The Dry Room & The Trichome Guardians Throughout the drying, we used a moisture meter to monitor the moisture content in the stems. Once it dropped to around 12–13%, we knew it was time. This tool is a simple but game-changing ally in ensuring a perfect dry — not too fast, not too slow. We then trimmed everything by hand over a 6.5-hour focused session. Armed with trim bins and good energy, we collected an abundance of glistening trichome heads in the process — a golden bonus from these resin-packed beauties. The leaves themselves told a story: deep purples, near-black shades, autumn fades and metallic tones — just stunning. Each girl was trimmed in order: #5 → #4 → #3 → #2 → #1, revealing dense, chunky buds all the way from top to bottom. Not a single pop-corn bud among them — only rock-solid nugs, heavyweight champions in every sense. 📦 Cure Begins – Grove Bags & Glass Jars Once trimmed, the buds were tucked carefully into Grove Bags and glass jars, each stabilized at around 61% RH. The Grove Bags handle the microclimate beautifully, keeping humidity between 58–61%, perfect for preserving all that hard-earned quality. We’re now opening the jars daily, monitoring aroma and feel. This part of the process — the cure — is where the soul of the flower truly comes to life. ☀️ UV, Reds & The Perfect Run Part of what made this run so special was the precision in light spectrum. 40% whites, full reds, UV and IR, and the girls responded like royalty. The UV pushed trichome development to the max. The deep reds gave us thickness, color, and weight. All of it under ThinkGrow Model Ones powered through the Trolmaster ecosystem — everything syncing in harmony. This run was stable, lush, expressive — a grower’s dream. To my eyes, this was a perfect run. ⚖️ Final Yield: 1,302 Grams (1.3 kg) In a 4x4 tent — that’s just 1.2m x 1.2m for metric friends — we pulled in 1,302 grams of flower, not even counting the buds that were taken for filming, photos, or “quality control testing” along the way. 😉 Dense. Loud. Sticky. Resinous. 🌿 The Hidden Half: A Tribute to the Roots In every grow, there’s a part we don’t always see — a part that lives underground, quietly holding everything together. The roots. And this time, I wanted to honor them too. When we unpotted the plants after harvest, we were met with massive, dense root systems, completely filling the Autopot trays. These roots were vibrant, white and healthy, looking like noodles in a thick herbal soup — a true sign of vitality. The Autopots system, combined with the Aptus Holland Clean Program and Plagron Green Sensation, made sure they had the perfect environment to expand, absorb, and thrive. The PRO-MIX soil was the perfect foundation — light, fluffy, with excellent aeration. It all worked in harmony. After unpotting, I carefully washed every root system, removing all soil to prepare them for the next chapter of their story. Now, they’re hanging and drying — and will be left to cure for at least one month, possibly more, in a dry, dark, and well-ventilated space. But why keep the roots? Because cannabis roots hold ancient value — both medicinal and ritualistic. Though they don’t contain cannabinoids like THC or CBD, they are rich in alkaloids, triterpenoids, sterols, and other therapeutic compounds that can be anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antifungal, and calming. Medicinal Benefits of Cannabis Roots: • Friedelin – known for liver protection and anti-inflammatory effects • Pentacyclic triterpenoids – believed to support immune and anti-tumor functions • Alkaloids – some studies suggest pain-relief and muscle-soothing properties • High levels of fiber and tannins – excellent for digestive and skin applications 🍵 Root Medicine — Ways to Use Dried Roots: Once fully dried (they should snap like twigs, not bend), they can be gently crushed, powdered, or infused: 🌿 Cannabis Root Tea Soothing & Detoxifying • 1 tablespoon of dried, ground roots • 3 cups of filtered water • Simmer gently (do not boil) for 20–30 minutes • Add a bit of ginger or lemon for taste • Sip warm, especially good for menstrual discomfort, inflammation, and general relaxation 🍲 Healing Root Soup Base Brothy & Nourishing • Add a handful of dried roots into a veggie broth or bone broth • Simmer for 2+ hours • Strain before serving • This adds a subtle earthy tone and allows the healing properties to infuse your meal Topical Root Cream or Balm Great for sore muscles or irritated skin • Infuse roots in olive oil or coconut oil (low heat, 2–3 hours) • Strain and mix with beeswax to form a balm • Add essential oils like lavender or eucalyptus • Apply to temples, joints, or sore areas 🛁 Root Soak Bath Perfect for grounding and full-body relief • Bundle dried roots in muslin or cheesecloth • Steep in hot bathwater for 15 minutes before entering • Let the soak draw out toxins and ease tension ⸻ The roots are more than just the anchor of the plant. They are its memory, its foundation, its quiet miracle. By using them, we honor the entire lifecycle — nothing is wasted, and everything has a purpose. This part of the process is new for many growers, and I truly encourage anyone reading this to try saving and reusing the roots. Dry them, process them gently, and let them offer you one final gift. Much love to Aptus Holland, Plagron, Autopots, and PRO-MIX — this wouldn’t have been possible without their harmony working underground while the beauty bloomed above. 🌱 The Gift That Keeps Giving: Reusing the Soil As we say goodbye to one incredible season, we begin quietly preparing for the next. But not everything gets thrown away. In this garden, nothing is wasted. Just like the roots, the soil gets another life. After each harvest, I carefully remove the remaining roots and break up the soil. I inspect it, rejuvenate it with compost and beneficial microbes when needed, and most importantly, I repurpose it — giving it a second life in my outdoor veggie garden. Why do I do it? Because this soil has already done something extraordinary. It has supported life, held moisture, breathed air, balanced nutrients, and fed plants that became medicine. It’s not just dirt — it’s a living ecosystem. And to throw it away would be to ignore its potential. In my veggie garden, this recycled soil now nurtures cucumbers, tomatoes, courgettes, and so many other little miracles waiting to unfold. It’s a beautiful way of continuing the cycle, taking all the energy and intention that was once used to grow cannabis and transferring it into growing food. 🌞🍅🥒 🌾 The Benefits of Reusing Soil: • Sustainability — less waste, less environmental impact • Cost-effective — no need to constantly buy fresh medium • Soil memory — rich in organic material, microbial life, and structure • Nutrient potential — amended soil still holds value for many plants • A deeper connection — a way to honor the entire cycle of growth When we reuse our soil, we’re not just being resourceful — we’re believing in tomorrow. We’re trusting that what we’ve built can be rebuilt. That what has been used can become useful again. That from what seems like an ending, something new can always emerge. And maybe that’s the most powerful message of all in this journey: Planting is believing in tomorrow. 🌍🌱 Every seed in the ground is a little act of faith. So as this season comes to a close, the first tomatoes have been planted. The cucumbers are reaching for the sun. The courgettes are settling in. And the same soil that once gave us dense, resinous flowers is now feeding the vegetables that will grace the table. From harvest to hope — the cycle continues. And it’s beautiful. 🎉 The Final Touches Fun fact: • Trimmed on May 25 • Photo shoot on May 26 • This report: May 27 • Dry Bud Exclusive Photo Set: Coming soon Stay tuned — the next upload will be something special, just in time before the Eternity Grow Cup closes on May 31st. ⸻ 💚 Thank You To Zamnesia — your genetics were nothing short of extraordinary.
