The Widow’s Garden

Greenhouse_Project Girls are stretching, canopy is filling in perfectly, and the jungle is alive. Noticed some yellowing on a few older fan leaves – most likely from the final stretch and light intensity ramp-up. Monitoring closely, but the rest of the canopy is thriving. Loving the environment right now – temps, VPD and humidity are locked in. Let’s see how hard she can push. This is my second grow, let´s see how it works 😁

Greenhouse_Project Turning Point 🔥 This week marked a clear shift – things are getting real out here. I decided to remove the SCROG net, which caused a bit of stress on the girls, but nothing major. With Advanced Nutrients Revive in the mix, they’re bouncing back fast – already perking up and showing strength. 💪 The good news? No new yellow leaves. That early sign of deficiency seems to have stabilized, and the girls are back on track. I’ve noticed a beautiful glistening on the leaves – a subtle shine that screams: flowering is kicking in. It’s the kind of detail that tells you the plant is shifting gears, focusing energy where it counts. 💫 A few old and excess fan leaves were removed to open up the canopy and give those inner buds some light and airflow – making sure nothing slows them down. This week I introduced Bud Factor X and B-25 – dialing in the microbial support and terpene potential. From here on out, it’s all about density, flavor, and stacking resin. Let’s fucking go. 😈🌿

Greenhouse_Project Clearing the Path, Boosting the Buds 🌿✨ This week was all about precision, care, and setting the stage for big things to come. I started off by introducing a solid nutrient combo: 2ml Sensizym, BigBud, and Bud Factor X – unlocking microbial activity, resin production, and serious flower development. 🌸💥 To keep everything clean and prevent nutrient lockout, I did a light flush – just enough to clear out excess salts without stressing the plants. They're responding really well. I also took the time to remove older and excess leaves – improving airflow and letting the newer growth shine. The canopy looks much cleaner now. 🍃✂️ Pots were rearranged to rotate light exposure, so no girl gets left behind in the shadow. I'm already seeing bright spots hitting the buds, which means more energy, more stacking. Finally, I added CalMag Extra to avoid any early signs of deficiency – especially with this nutrient-intensive phase ahead.

Greenhouse_Project She Shows Herself 🔥🌸 This week brought a mix of decisions and progress. One plant turned out to be male – swiftly removed to keep the focus and energy on the true queens. No distractions, just bloom. White pistils are now clearly visible, stretching out confidently – a beautiful sign that full flowering is underway. The formation looks promising already. 🌿✨ To maintain balance and avoid deficiencies, daily CalMag Extra is now part of the routine – keeping everything steady through this high-demand phase. This week also marked the introduction of Tasty Terpenes (formerly Nirvana) to boost flavor and aroma development early on. The goal is not just yield, but character – and it’s coming through strong.

Greenhouse_Project Little Surprises Along the Way 🌱🔮 This week things stayed strong, but with a few interesting twists. I added Hammerhead to the nutrient lineup, pushing extra phosphorus and potassium to support heavy bud development during mid-flower. The girls are eating it up beautifully. 💥🌿 As part of maintenance, I removed a few old yellow leaves to keep the canopy fresh and the airflow moving smoothly. Small touch-ups, but they make a big difference. Interestingly, a few plants are starting to show early signs of seed formation – a little side effect from the male plant I had earlier. It was a small experiment: I left it alone to see if natural pollination would catch – and now it looks like a few seeds might be developing. 🤭🌸 Just a few – nothing that will affect the overall quality, but a cool side bonus for a future side project. (Maybe a custom strain? 😈) Overall, the plants are looking very healthy, strong, and vibrant. Resin is starting to show up, structure is solid, and the energy feels right for a strong second half of flowering.

Greenhouse_Project Seeds, Spice & Structure 🌿 The girls are in full motion now, shifting energy from stretch to structure. Seed development is clearly progressing – they’re getting thicker, more pronounced. This was expected from the early male exposure, and honestly… I’m loving the result. 🤭 They’re now receiving the full recommended dose of nutrients, and handling it like champs. No signs of burn, no deficiencies. To keep things balanced, I started mixing in some tap water – just enough to adjust CalMag levels and avoid underflow from using only filtered or RO water. Interestingly, the smell isn’t overwhelming, but that’s natural due to seed production. Still, there's a very fresh, slightly spicy aroma with clear piney notes – subtle but full of character. And based on growth behavior, scent, and structure, I believe I’ve stumbled upon a unique phenotype worth keeping an eye on. 👀✨

Greenhouse_Project Week 7 – CO₂ Boost, Hidden Seeds & Full Readiness 🌬️ This week was smooth, controlled, and full of momentum. To optimize conditions and prep the girls for the final phase, I installed a CO₂ bag – giving them that little atmospheric push to maximize bud development and resin production. 🌿💥 During routine pruning, I removed a weaker side branch – and found a firm seed already formed. They're hardening nicely, but it’s still a little too early for harvest – so I’ll let them ripen naturally and fully. It’s looking like this controlled pollination will pay off beautifully. 🤭 The overall health remains excellent – leaves are vibrant, bud sites are stacking well, and the aroma is steady and balanced. I’m really happy with how stable and vigorous this run is. Nutrient-wise, this week I kept it focused with: Sensizym, Tasty Terpenes, and Hammerhead – building strength, flavor, and weight in every stage. Next week, I’ll add Overdrive to initiate the final bloom phase and push the plants into their peak expression. From here on out, it’s all about ripening, weight gain, and resin finish. 💎🔥

Greenhouse_Project Ripe Potential & the Final Push 💥🌱 The buds are showing clear signs of progression – the calyces are now fully formed and starting to open, still mostly green, but maturing beautifully. Just a few more weeks to go… and honestly, I can’t wait to harvest. 😏 This week marks the start of the final bloom phase – I’ve introduced Overdrive to give them that last push of energy and density. Alongside it, I’ve added Rhino Skin to keep them strong, healthy, and resistant through the home stretch. 💪✨ The plants are looking great overall – vibrant, structured, and still very stable. It’s my first seed harvest, and everything’s pointing to a successful fi Each day brings them closer. Each calyx, each crystal, each subtle change… it’s all building toward something that will live beyond the grow. 🌿 I’m not just harvesting flowers – I’m harvesting the future.

Greenhouse_Project Week 9 – Steady Ripening & Sweet Support 🍬 Not much has changed visually this week – the seeds are still green, slowly maturing at their own pace. No rush, no stress – I’m letting them take the time they need to finish properly. 🌿 To support the final ripening phase, I added a targeted trio: Bud Candy for sugar intake and aroma development, Bud Factor X to push trichome and resin production, and B-25 to support microbial life and keep the root zone active. 🍯💎 There’s a calm before the harvest here – everything looks balanced and healthy, holding steady while the final details come together. P.S. Sometimes the best progress is the quiet kind. No drama, no sudden change – just slow, steady perfection forming inside every calyx. 🌾

Greenhouse_Project Week 10 – Final Push & First Seed Glory 🍁 This week marks the true final stage – the only additions to the feed were Hammerhead and Overdrive, to squeeze every last bit of density, ripening and character from the buds. 💥 The leaves have now fully entered autumn mode – fading in yellow, orange and rusty tones. It’s the clearest signal that the plant is wrapping up its lifecycle and pouring all its energy into the flowers and seeds. 🍂 And speaking of seeds… I harvested the first mature seed – and wow, what a beauty. Firm, dark, perfectly formed. It feels unreal to see something grow from concept to life – and to hold that future in my fingers. Now I truly can’t wait until next week. The finish line is right in front of me – and it’s gonna be glorious. 🌾🔥 P.S. It started as a grow. Now it’s something that can live on – not just smoked, but planted. The first seed… the first of many. 💚🌱

Greenhouse_Project Harvest – From Grower to Breeder 🌿 After 10 beautiful weeks of watching, feeding, adjusting and observing… it's finally harvest time. But this one hits different: There are no buds – only seeds. This was never about smoking. This was about creation. I gave them a few days to dry gently, and now begins the real work – hand-picking every single seed, one by one. It’s delicate, slow, meditative – but it’s also insanely exciting. Because every seed is a story. A chance. A future plant, shaped by intention. I can’t wait to test them, to grow them out, to see what they become. And to know… they came from me. P.S. This wasn’t just my first seed harvest. It was the beginning of something new. A new chapter. A new passion. And to anyone reading: Grow a plant – but one day… create one. Because that feeling?
