Hey there, everyone! So this is an AK48 + White Widow indoor grow with feminized seeds from seedsmafia. I saw them sprout on the 5th, went on vacation for two days and they have legged out like 10cm :D. Buried them two times as you can see from the pictures on day 3 and 4. Anyway, they will be residing under my brand new Kingsbrite 125w LED. I'll mainline the shit out of them as well hehe. Hoping for some great results! Don't forget it's always a beautiful day to be alive and keep growing! ✌️🌿

Whaddup y'all! First week with REAL light in a grow box. Look at this explosive growth!!! The light is everything! I'm so happy with my Kingbrite 125w QB. These girls are ready to be transplanted and you'll see them in their new home next week. Don't forget it's always a beautiful day to be alive and keep growing! ✌️🌿

Heyooo!! This week has been pretty eventful - the plants got a new home in 7gal fabric pots and mainlining is underway with two toppings and one tie down! 💥💥 As you can see these girls have been slaying it in terms of growth. They definitely share my love for the 125w LED KingBrite hehe. I topped on day 20 and then again on day 22 since both of the plants responded incredibly well and started pulling on the ties and growing new nodes overnight! Before the topping I was giving them about a litre of water every two days and they were sucking it up like crazy. After the topping I gave them 1.5l and there's a noticeable decrease in water consumption hehe. So I'll water them again with just a litre every three days until they have fully recovered from all the toppings. I predict another topping this week if this crazy growth continues! That's all for this week, guys, hope you have a great one! Remember that it's always a beautiful day to be alive and keep growing, friends! ✌️🌿

What's up y'all? This grow is going craaaay!! I basically completed the entire three mainline toppings in the span of a single week?! The weather has been pretty hot lately rising to 35C inside the tent! The plants don't seem to mind though, haha. The final tie down has been completed. All that is left now is for these girls to grow. Maybe I'll prune everything below the topmost nodes before I flip into flower, but we'll see. I think we'll be flowering either by the end of this week or by the middle of next week. Remember that it's always a beautiful day to be alive and keep growing, friends! ✌️🌿

Heyooo! This week was full of activity again. Pruned twice below the tops since the plants were getting hella bushy. I think I'll prune one last time at the end of this week. I flipped them yesterday. I'm hoping for a nice and even stretch. Time will tell. Into flower we go! Remember that it's always a beautiful day to be alive and keep growing, friends! ✌️🌿

So what do you guys reckon: should I prune everything below the top-most nodes one last time at the end of first week of flower to control the colas better? Rows of green on youtube does exactly that in his mainline series.

I suggest removing all new branches, but leaving all fan leaves. This will make her recovery way much faster

Heyooo! First week of flower is here boyos! These girls are starting to smell and stretch like the champs they are! After some deliberation I decided to prune everything below the top-most node at the end of the week (thanks to @blasterw32 and @occultgreen420 for all the advice). The recovery can be seen on the last pics...suffice to say I'm pleasantly surprised yet again how vigorous these plants can be under the right conditions! I also switched the nutrients to the pre-flower quantities. First white pistils are showing and I'm excited :)) Remember that it's always a beautiful day to be alive and keep growing, friends! ✌️🌿

Heyoooo! This week has been business as usual. I think they might have a little more stretch left in them, but we shall see. I defoliated very lightly at the end of the week and apart from that, I've let them do their thing. These are some incredibly healthy plants, not a single sign of any deficiency! I'm kind of amazed to be honest haha :D I'll be starting them on full flower nutes this week Remember that it's always a beautiful day to be alive and keep growing, friends! ✌️🌿

Heyooo!! So this week is yet another when where these girls are displaying nothing but health and explosive growth. Amazing genetics ? I dunno, but they are yet to show a single sign of deficiency... I did some light defoliation since they bushed out again. I think I should stop now? I'm not sure I'll see how it goes. Also I switched them to full flower nutes. They seem to love it, look at the forming buds...aren't they beautiful 😍 I'm going on vacation this upcoming week so I'll probably upload just a few pictures by the end of it.

Heey there 'erryone! So while I was on vacation this week, these girls finished up their stretch and have juust started fattening up. They are as healthy as ever so I decided a light defoliation won't affect them much. I also spread out the branches a little on the White Widow since they were getting a bit too tight for my taste. Macro pictures next week? Might happen hehe Remember that it's always a beautiful day to be alive and keep growing, friends! ✌️🌿

Hey everyone!!! Week 5 of flower is in the books and this one was action packed! First off, at the start of the week I discovered a minor spider mite infestation. Immediately sprayed the entire tent with a 9-to-1 alcohol/water solution. Later during the week I repeated that and added a spray of neem oil (also defoliated infested fan leaves). The infestation seems to be under control for now. Next the white widow's top-most leaves started yellowing/browning around the tips. Read up a bit on it and figured it's either a calcium deficiency or light stress. Ended up buying a cal-mag supplement and reducing the light intensity by a quarter. Hope it gets better. The widow is suffering :( Btw, check out the other grow. It's quite a surprise haha.. Remember that it's always a beautiful day to be alive and keep growing, friends! ✌️🌿

Heey everyone! This post is a bit late on schedule since I was on another little vacation. As you can see the Widow has suffered quite a lot from the heat/light stress. The cal-mag didn't really help and I lowered the light intensity even further all the way down to 1/2. Also there are spider mites lol. I need to figure out a better way to control the heat. I think I will need to throw in an intake fan since the little fan I have inside simply isn't cutting it. I think the Widow will make it, but perhaps the bud quality might be affected. They are both getting quite sticky hehe. Remember that it's always a beautiful day to be alive and keep growing, friends! ✌️🌿

Hey there! Shorter week this time around in order to even weeks out (they should end on a Friday). Mites are still somewhat under control, the AK is doing just fine. The widow however keeps on drying out. I'm starting to consider an early chop, before the buds start getting affected...I think I'll post a question.

Soo this is obviously an early chop. Just 6 weeks of flower, but it had to be done. The heat/light stress was too much for this girl and she started degrading real fast. I'll be surprised if she packs a punch in terms of smoke/high... Anyway, lesson learned: control the heat better. Just because some 2 months went without an issue, 33-35 degrees is waaay to much for a plant to handle

Sooo another early harvest! This plant started suffering from thee same issues as the White Widow. 33-35 degrees is waaay too high for the flowering period...no way around it. Anyway, lesson learned - I need to control the temperature better. That's why I won't be growing during the summer and I will be buying a small space heater in order to have at least some control over the temperature of the grow room. Another thing I learned from this grow is how to mainline. The buds are actually pretty well formed, albeit probably impotent. So I'll definitely be carrying this knowledge over as well. See you in the next grow and don't forget that it's always a beautiful day to be alive and keep growing!
