❄️ Widow Mode Activated – 90s Legend Reloaded

GodZilla_Owner Week 1 - Veg Stage starts (VT1 - VT8) VT1: The official count starts today. They stretched a little too much, so I increased the light intensity by one dimmer level. Watered for the first time with 50ml (pH 6.4 / EC 0.4). VPD was between 0.6 - 0.7. VT4: Everything is going well so far. Increased watering to 150ml, still at EC 0.4. Next watering will be with 250ml and EC 0.6. VT6: I actually wanted to keep this report a bit more relaxed, but somehow I’m documenting more than ever. 🤓 Watered today with 250ml (EC 0.6 / pH 6.3) using the adjusted Advanced Nutrients schedule for Veg 1 + 2. VT8 - End of Veg Week 1: The first week of veg is done. Everything went according to plan. They are starting to drink more now. VPD has been raised to 0.8 and will be increased to 0.9 over the course of the week.

GodZilla_Owner Week 2 – Day 14 (Veg) Around day 12, White Widow #1 started to show early signs of deficiency. EC was 0.9 at the time – likely too low for her current stage. Smaller plants in the grow showed no symptoms, which supports the idea that the larger ones needed more nutrition. To correct this, I increased feeding: base EC 0.4 plus full nutrients, total EC 1.3. The symptoms did not get worse after that, but her leaf color still remains slightly lighter than the rest. She was also moved into the final tent this week. During the move, I removed the first node pair to promote better structure. Transplant into a 15L fabric pot is planned for next week.

GodZilla_Owner Week 3 – Day 22 (Veg) White Widow #1 was topped this week and received her first round of light LST 🌿✂️ She also moved into a 15L fabric pot and was watered with 2.5L 💧 Unfortunately, even an EC of 0.8–0.9 was too much for her 😕 She showed signs of overfeeding, likely from too much nitrogen. To reduce stress, I lowered the DLI to 27 ☀️ Right now, she’s my main concern – not in great shape, but slowly recovering 💪 Next watering will be with a reduced EC of around 0.5 to help her bounce back 🌱 Looking ahead to Week 4: 🔹 Watering volume will be increased to 4–5L depending on need 🔹 I checked root development by opening the fabric pots – looking promising! 🧐 🔹 LST will continue, and some larger fan leaves might be removed to improve airflow and light penetration 🌬️☀️

GodZilla_Owner Week 4 – Day 30 (Transition) Where do I even begin… 😅 White Widow #1 officially started flowering this week (Day 0 of bloom) – but not without drama 😵 She managed to break off four of her own tops due to LST mistakes or weak stems. But here’s the crazy part: 👉 Two of the broken shoots actually reattached themselves and continued growing – even though they were hanging by just a 1 mm strand! 💪🌱 The photos show it clearly: sometimes it's worth trying, even when it looks hopeless. Despite the rough week, she's holding up and is now officially in the 12/12 cycle. Stretch is coming – let’s see what she’s got in her! 🌿📏

GodZilla_Owner Week 5 – Day 37 (Flower Day 7) White Widow #1 is looking strong this week 💪 A bit of supercropping here and there, and she’s throwing out one massive fan leaf after another 🍃 She officially passed the 50 cm mark and is now fully into stretch mode 🌿📏 Things are getting crowded in the tent 😅 But overall, she’s handling the transition to bloom really well and shows no major issues so far. Looking forward to seeing how much taller she’ll get in the coming days!

GodZilla_Owner Week 6 – Day 44 (Flower Day 14) 🔄 Recap This week, White Widow received a full lollipopping and defoliation session ✂️ She handled it really well – no signs of stress or hermies so far ✅ Everything looks stable and on track! 💧 I also started mixing my osmotic water at a 10:1 ratio with tap water. This gives me a more stable pH and a starting EC of 0.08 – ideal for nutrient mixing. 💡 Lighting Update White Widow is currently under the Kingbrite P55 320W. I increased the intensity slightly, and her DLI now reaches 78 over 24h, which equals 39 per 12h 🌞 She seems to enjoy the boost – no signs of light stress, just healthy growth! 🌿 Plant Status – White Widow 📏 Height: 73 cm (+23 cm this week) 💧 Drain pH: 5.7 – despite feeding with pH 6.6 ⚗️ EC: 1.6, currently running at 75% of the feeding schedule ✅ No issues at all – she's handling the lower drain pH like a champ!

GodZilla_Owner Week 7 – Day 51 (Flower Day 21) 🔄 Recap A calm and steady week. Mostly just watering, observing, and occasionally removing a leaf or two 🍃 The stretch seems to be slowing down – space is getting tight, but still manageable 😅 pH & Soil Compatibility One thing I’m noticing more and more: The drain pH stays low and doesn’t really increase, even with feed water at ~6.6. After some digging, it’s likely due to the combo of BioBizz Light Mix and Advanced Nutrients. BioBizz relies on microbes for pH buffering, unlike soils like Plagron Growmix or Canna Terra, which use dolomite lime. I’m also using Bud Candy, which seems to push the pH even lower by feeding the microbes. 💡 Conclusion: If you’re using Advanced Nutrients, soils with lime buffering might be a better match. 🌿 Plant Status – White Widow 📏 Height: 97 cm – still stretching strongly 💧 Drain pH: 5.7, but she doesn’t seem bothered by it ⚗️ Feeding at 85% of the Advanced Nutrients Masterline ✅ She’s doing great – no issues at all, healthy and vigorous!
