Beginning of week.. Forgot to update end of last week.. but here she is!... So this week she should still be stretching and (hopefully) the slowdown should be the following week.. she is doing good.. water, feed, water, feed, etc. But not daily.. I do water, feed, skip, water, feed, skip, etc. I do that so the day after feeding 1 gal., she gets a day to dry out. Then I water 1.25 gal. to help rinse salts and build-up.. then feed the next day again.. so she isnt left too long without a feeding.. but I'm sure things would be fine if I watered/fed daily.. just a bit of a hassle for me now.. collecting rainwater and cutting it with 25% crappy tap water works great.. but a hassle lol.. she is happy and so am I! You can see in the pics that the stiples are turning purple are red.. just the stiples.. not the leaves.. not the pistils.. also noticed that on my last run with ETHOS Cookies and Mandarin Cookies.. pretty.. hopefully she will be very colorful! Almost mid week.. Wow.. literally no trichomes yesterday but this morning they are damn near on every bud site! Wow.. rubbing trichomes and sniffing gives me such joy and a hint of what to expect at harvest.. very sweet so far.. yessss! So excited! Mid week... Stretching quite a bit but she shouldn't get too much out of control. Running the WAKYME J-2000 at roughly 60% power and 12" - 14" above the canopy. She is receiving 1000 micromols at the center and about 550/600 micromols around the edges and corners are getting about 500 - 550 micromols.. entire plant is getting GREAT PAR! She is stretching so much that every 2 - 3 days, I need raise the light quite a bit.. I'd say she is stretching about 4 - 6 inches every 2 - 3 days. Fucking incredible, in my opinion. rubbing the trichomes.. aw man.. rubbing those GORGEOUS trichomes and getting a wiff of what she should be producing in the very near future is just mind blowing how complex and strong ETHOS terpenes are (at least the 3 that I have grown out). I couldn't be any happier with this strain.. or any ETHOS strain! ETHOS Genetics is easily in the top 5 of cannabis breeders, if not number 1.. I've got the OG Kush Autoflower waiting to be germinated soon.. can't wait to see what that girl can do, as well. It will be my first autoflower from ETHOS.. pics of her look EPIC AS FUCK!.. Anyways.. I'm just abusing my keyboard right now thanks to some Mandarin Cookies from ETHOS genetics.. super complex terpenes as well.. Mid week.. She got herself a good feeding today. The runoff pH has been coming out about .3 - .4 higher than going in.. the watering before today I went ahead and watered at 5.8.. runoff came out at 6.3.. perfecto! Today, went in at 6.2 and runoff came out 6.2... dos perfectos! Aye! So far, this girl is not disappointing at all! So much trochomes production just in the last 24 - 48 hours! Smells so freaking amazing!.. should be pretty fruity! I can't wait!!! End of week.. I've been kinda tweaking the nutes a bit.. I can see all the nute burn (trying to avoid overfeeding) but still trying to transition from grow to bloom.. actually, I thinkI can go to full on bloom now. She isnt stretching as much anymore. She had slowed quite a bit.. but perfectly lol.. so yeah.. gonna stop feeding grow nutes at this point.. and also cut out the MYCO+ because its only used in veg and transition. I'm going to add in some FloraNectar to make up for the molasses that was in the MYCO+.. no bloom boosters.. at least right now. Runoff is coming out perfectly.. sometimes it may drift to 6.5 but it has never gone out of range (6.5+).. if it stays at 6.5 for too long I end up watering/feeding at 5.8 at couple times and its back down to 6.1 or 6.2.. other than that.. no issues! On to the next week!...

1 DE AGOSTO - DIA 8 ✅💨 - Hoy puse en funcionamiento el ventilador para remover el calor concentrado de la lámpara por sobre las plantas y distribuir aire fresco en todo el indoor. Beneficiando también a el tronco y las ramas, generando una resistencia al viento. El crecimiento se ve uniforme en todas las plantas. 2 DE AGOSTO - DIA 9 🌱💪🏼 - Hoy es un gran día!! Apliqué la técnica de LST a todas mis nenas. Mi deseo es obtener buenos resultados al final de la cosecha, pero ya me siento muy feliz porque al final del cultivo lograré ganar experiencia!! 3 DE AGOSTO - DIA 10 💦👨‍🌾🏻 - Hoy es día de riego. 1 litro de agua para cada una de las niñas (600 cc desclorada y 400 cc destilada) - PH 5.9 📊 - LSD-25 #2 y SIX SHOOTER #1 parecen ser las más vigorosas del cultivo. - Relleno las macetas con tierra debido al crecimiento del tallo de las plantas. Todo marcha muy bien!!! - LSD-25 #3 aparentemente esta pasando por un leve estrés, ha dejado de crecer a la par de las demás. ¿Que puedo hacer al respecto? ¿Perjudicará el ciclo de vida de la planta? 4 DE AGOSTO - DIA 11 💡📏 - Subo la lámpara a 40 cm de distancia. - Por lo visto las niñas respondieron bien a la técnica de LST. 5 DE AGOSTO - DIA 12 - Reviso la humedad del sustrato y aparentemente se encuentra en buenas condiciones, por lo tanto mañana voy regar las niñas. - Como todos los días controlo los ganchos y la soga colocadas, parece que las plantas se adaptaron al entrenamiento sin ningun problema. LSD-25 #2 y SIX SHOOTER #1 tienen un crecimiento mas rápido por sobre las demás. - LSD-25 #3 que habia pasado por leve estrés (dentro de mi punto de vista) parece comenzar a desarrollarse de manera normal. 6 DE AGOSTO - DIA 13 💦👨‍🌾🏻 - Hoy es día de riego. LSD-25 #2 y SIX SHOOTER #1. En primera instancia regaré solo a ellas dos, ya que el sustrato se encuentra bastante seco. 1 litro de agua a cada una (500 cc destilada y 500 cc desclorada) con una dosis de 2 ml VOODO JUICE 💀 y 2 ml PIRANAHA 🐟 - PH 5.9 📊 - Antes de finalizar el día repetí el riego con todas las demás nenas (LSD-25 #1, #2, SIX SHOOTER #2 y GORILLA GLUE) 7 DE AGOSTO - DIA 14 🌱💪🏼 - Hoy cumplen dos semanas en tierra. Estoy muy contento por que se nota el progreso de todas!! Cargue las fotos del día para culminar esta semana, se puede observar como el tallo y las ramas se van adaptando a los alambres que les fui colocando. Una BELLEZA 😍

420 Fastbuds Week 5 Gorilla Cookies Auto Hello grow fam. This week has been good but got extremely cold a few nights down into the low 50's. Plants seem to be OK all in all. Flower sites seem to be maturing nice, plants not showing any major signs to worry about or try and fix. I did do a defoliation on most the the major fan leafs and light lollipopping on some of the lower nodes. So far so good. Happy Growing

I have an average week the buds have not grown as big as I thought we always expect more I think, I came back to the plagron green sensation and plagron alga bloom to see if it is better. this may be due to my defoliation made recently. I hope it will work out because there are about 4 weeks of flowering left. good grow everyone

Things are generally going ok. I’m going to reduce the bio grow next week as it’s looking a little over fed. Other than that the plant has been fairly responsive. I defoliated and removed the rest of the lower growth I wanted to, it seemed to slow things down, although its starting to stretch a little now..

Bud wet weight : 168,1g of trimmed medium to big sized buds 25,4g of tiny tiny buds/larfs = 193.5 grams of trimmed wet buds. Details on genetics and smoke report above. This, as my first grow, is way more than I ever expected it to be. I haven´t had that much fun and enthusiasm in a very very long time. I can´t even explain the feeling it is to harvest your own cannabis, but I know most of you know what I´m talking about haha. It was really nice to practice LST, even tho it was SO HARD, ´cause I didn´t had barely any space to work since I used a hard pot and did not fill nearly half the size of it and the walls of the pot were really high. It was even difficult to water without dropping water on the lower buds. I haven´t learnt much about defoliation tho, I feel I need to study a little more about the phases you should or should not do it. Also, I discovered thrips are a pain in the ass. I had 2 tough weeks dealing with thrips, but in the end it was alright. I don´t have any humidity control device, which I intend to buy for the next grows. Growdiaries was really helpful for me, it kept me motivated everyday (not that I wouldn´t have had it anyways), the Grow Questions are REALLY useful and all the community is awesome. Thanks to all people that helped me here on GD during this first grow! To conclude it: I am really happy and satisfied with how the grow turned out. They look incredible, it almost feels like I can´t believe it still. Peace. UPDATES: 07/10 : The buds are now dry and already in curing jars, one of them with a Boveda 58% humidity pack. The total grams of the dry buds are: 41.4g (medium to big sized buds) 4.1g (tiny buds) = 45.5 grams! I´m really happy with the results, I thought it would be around 30g so yeah, that´s a really good surprise! In 2 weeks I´ll be back to update the smoke report. Thanks so much for reading! Peace. 09/10 : I managed to fit everything in the same container with some space between them, so now every bud is with the Boveda pack. 14/10: It´s been a week and the smell improved, it still smells a little like hay/plant ( even tho it´s not too dry neither too wet ). 21/10: Now it´s been two weeks and even tho the smell isn´t anymore hay, it´s a lot herbal. I really think the aroma can get better, but the taste is already good enough for me. The smoke report has been done and in case I have something to add, I´ll report here. Thank you so much for reading! Peace.

I still don't know if I should of Defoliated and switched to a 12/12 schedule at the same time. The Humidity was pretty high, and the leaves had water in between when there was lots of vegetation, this was one of the motives for the defoliation.

🌱 White Widow – Week 4 Veg | No Rush, No Stress, Just Grace Genetics: White Widow (Zamnesia Seeds) Light Schedule: 11/13 (Flower From Seed) Stage: Week 4 – Still Veg Structure: Compact, Healthy, Now Branching Environment: 30°C | ~50% RH | ~2.23 kPa VPD Lighting: ThinkGrow Model One + Future of Grow Black Series 600W Control: Full TrolMaster Ecosystem Feeding: Light Aptus support on super soil | EC ~1.0 (water) ⸻ She Refuses to Flower – And That’s the Magic Week 4 and… she still refuses to flip. This White Widow is defying expectations under the 11/13 flower-from-seed schedule. No pistils. No stretch. Just calm, confident vegetative growth. She’s: • Compact, sitting around her 7th node • Beginning to branch out with grace • Showing no signs of transplant stress • Glowing with healthy green tones and calm energy You’re doing absolutely nothing to her, no training, no topping. Just observation, care, and space. And she’s returning the favor by thriving gently on her own terms. ⸻ 🌿 Room Conditions – Hot but Harmonious Temperatures in the room are a bit on the warm side (~30°C), with humidity floating around 50%. This gives us a VPD reading of 2.23 kPa, slightly high, but… No signs of stress. Not from her. Not from the sisters sharing the space. Why? Because your room’s energy is balanced, even if imperfect on paper. Plants feel intention, and ours is clear and steady. ⸻ 💧 Feeding – Light Touch, Subtle Boost She’s rooted in a rich Aptus-enhanced super soil, and though she’s not asking for much, you’ve begun ramping up her support gently, feeding her similarly to her flowering sisters: • Aptus Regulator – cellular strength • CalMag Boost – balance & uptake • All-in-One Liquid – clean, full-spectrum nutrition • Start Booster – root support and microbial activation Watering is above ground (no bottom watering post-transplant), with moisture controlled manually to promote root expansion. ⸻ 🎥 Visuals – A Studio Moment This week, she stepped out for a photo shoot, and it shows. 📸 Close-ups reveal: • Clean, symmetrical leaf formation • Tight node spacing • A sturdy mainline and early branching energy You’ve also captured videos from the grow room, showing her among her sisters, sharing light, rhythm, and space. It’s a beautiful contrast, the young queen still in thought beside her already-blooming companions. Even though some soil data came from a sister plant nearby (EC ~2.0, temp ~25.6°C), we’re noting that simply as a reference—not her exact readings. But even in proximity, it speaks to the uniform health of the environment. ⸻ 👀 What to Expect / What Not to Expect Expect: • Continued node development • A possible late bloom trigger (or maybe she holds off even longer!) • Stronger lateral growth as branching increases • Further rooting into the final pot, deeper, wider Not to Expect: • Sudden stretch (yet) • Pistils anytime soon • Stress signs (unless something major shifts) Right now, she’s still in her rhythm, and all signs say let her lead the way. ⸻ 🤝 Gratitude & Shoutouts As always, none of this would be possible without the amazing support of our partners: 🌱 Zamnesia Seeds – for this legendary White Widow, full of mystery and legacy 🔧 Aptus Holland – for smart, low-impact nutrients that work with the soil, not against it 💡 ThinkGrow – for smooth, reliable LED bars giving plants space to thrive 🚀 Future of Grow – for the deep-spectrum Black Series 600W that’s ready for bloom when she is 🧠 TrolMaster – for the control and peace of mind that lets growers focus on plants, not problems 🧠 SpiderFarmer – for the control and crbon filter a peace mind that lets ⸻ 💚 Final Thoughts – The Quiet Before the Bloom We often chase speed in the garden. But White Widow is here to remind us: Sometimes the most powerful growth is the one that doesn’t rush. She’s staying grounded. She’s finding her rhythm. And she’s showing us that timing isn’t a rule, it’s a conversation. Stay tuned, dear growmies. Her story is still unfolding—and we’re just getting started 🌿✨ #WhiteWidow #ZamnesiaSeeds #Week4Update #ThinkGrowLED #FutureOfGrow #TrolMasterControlled #AptusPowered #FlowerFromSeed #GrowDiaries #CannabisCommunity #LEDGrow #11_13Cycle 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.
