Shinning Silver Haze and White Widow

EduP0812 Both White Widow and Shining Silver Haze emerged from the substrate at the same time, demonstrating the great quality of the Royal Queen Seeds seed bank. In their first week, they were under the grow mode of the LED panel, and starting the second week, they will switch to full spectrum on the LED panel, as the plants will be ready to receive greater light intensity.

EduP0812 Both Shinning Silver Haze and White Widow have had stable and healthy growth. They were transplanted from a 0.3-liter container to a 7-liter black pot using mycorrhizae, and then watered with Bio-Grow from Biobizz at a rate of 2 ml/L.

EduP0812 Both Shinning Silver Haze and White Widow have had stable and healthy growth, they're developing great branching. Next week, they will undergo FIM pruning, with the aim of further increasing branching. One of the White Widow plants showed some slight spots on one of its leaves caused by water from fertilized irrigation, nothing dangerous.

EduP0812 Overall, they have maintained stable and continuous growth; however, one of the White Widows seems to be showing a sulfur deficiency, which is being addressed with micro-doses of this mineral. Apical pruning was applied to the Shining Silver Haze, and they reacted very well, showing no signs of stress. No pruning will be done on the White Widows due to their indica heritage and low height. In about 2 weeks, they will probably be switched to a 12/12 photoperiod depending on the height they reach.

EduP0812 Overall, they have maintained a stable and continuous growth. The White Widow that was showing sulfur deficiency has evolved very well. This was the last week of the growth phase, moving to the flowering phase, switching to a 12/12 light schedule, just like Delta 9 (flowering stimulant) was applied foliarly.

EduP0812 The photo period was changed to 12/12 to induce flowering, the 5 plants were sexed and 100% female individuals were obtained, flowering fertilizers were started to be applied, defoliation was done to improve light penetration, relative humidity was decreased a bit, and the amount of watering was increased.

EduP0812 In their week 7, they have had steady growth, with the first pistils starting to become noticeably visible according to the 2 weeks of flowering they have been in. The White Widow has a more advanced flowering due to its indica genetics and short flowering time. A second dose of Delta 9 was applied, this time in the form of watering to the 5 plants, responding well, and some lower branches were tied down to allow better light penetration.

EduP0812 They have had optimal growth, without complications, and have reacted wonderfully well to the Delta 9 flowering booster, both foliar and in watering. They have adapted well to the LST technique and defoliation. It is expected that they will continue to evolve positively. Biobizz fertilizers are being applied in slightly lower doses than the maximum stipulated in the manufacturer's chart.

EduP0812 A little defoliation of some fan leaves was done to allow for better light penetration, and there has been a noticeable increase in the appearance of pistils, with the flowers slowly starting to form, especially the Indica ones; the Sativas are a bit behind due to their genetics.

EduP0812 They have had stable growth; in the case of the White Widow genetics, one has bulked up more than the other, but there's very little difference. As for the Shining Silver Haze, they have stretched quite a bit, and they are already starting to form visible flowers. A gradual increase in resin can be observed in both genetics, and they are also requiring more watering and nutrients. This week was the 4th and final application of Delta 9.

EduP0812 This week, we will start increasing the fattening fertilizer dosage, both bio-boom and top-max, to double the dosage from the previous week, for about 3 weeks, and then stop fertilizing and begin root washes after the 3 weeks of fattening.

EduP0812 A notable change has been observed in the increase of bud volume, as well as its aroma, which has become much more intense. Bio-grow from Biobizz was removed and PK Booster from BAC was added, since the latter has a base rich in potassium and phosphorus, but also a good nitrogen base, achieving remarkable changes within a few days. Fertilization will continue for a maximum of 2 more weeks, and then only watering with water for the subsequent root wash at the end of the growing cycle.

EduP0812 Both genetics received a final defoliation to allow for better light penetration. Starting from week 14, the 2 White Widow plants will only be watered with water, without fertilization, until their harvest. In contrast, the 3 Shining Silver Haze have 2 more weeks of watering with fertilization because their harvest is later due to being a mostly sativa genetic.

EduP0812 The first week started with just dechlorinated water for the 2 White Widow plants. In week 9 of flowering, the first root wash will be applied. As for the Shining Silver Haze, they only have week 9 of flowering left with nutrient watering, then they will have 2 to 3 weeks of watering only with dechlorinated water and 2 root washes before the harvest. Both genetics have a pronounced aroma characteristic of their strains, as well as abundant resin in their flowers.

EduP0812 The first root wash was done on the 2 White Widow genetics to eliminate salts and fertilizer residues. Starting next week, the 3 Shining Silver Haze genetics will begin to receive traditional waterings only with dechlorinated water. The harvest of the 2 White Widow genetics is expected to take place next week.

EduP0812 The White Widow genetics are nearing the end of their cycle, and next week their harvest and subsequent drying are expected. For the Shining Silver Haze genetics, there are still 2 weeks left until harvest. Next week, the first root wash will be done to clean them of fertilizer residues, further enhancing their aroma and later flavor.

EduP0812 The harvest of the 2 White Widow genetics was delayed by a week, they have acquired different shades due to the completion of their life cycle as well as the root washing done in previous weeks. In the case of the 3 Shining Silver Haze genetics, root washing was performed, and they are expected to be harvested in about 2 more weeks or when they reach 15% amber-colored trichomes.

EduP0812 Excellent results from this genetic variety (Shining Silver Haze), productive, resinous, easy to grow, and very resilient. In the last few weeks leading up to the harvest, they have acquired a quite attractive and eye-catching color. We will eagerly await the harvest to taste it.

EduP0812 These were the first 2 genetics from this grow, which were harvested 3 weeks earlier than the other 3 Shining Silver Haze, due to their indica dominance. They produced compact and dense flowers, with a sweet aroma of flowers and berries, easy to manicure and abundant resin. Very happy with the result obtained.

EduP0812 Last week before harvest, the Shining Silver Haze are at their perfect harvest point, with between 15% and 20% amber trichomes and the rest milky white. The discoloration of their leaves shows that the plants are clean of any fertilizer residues, demonstrating the good root flushing they received.
