This ones doing good its getting a slow flush since it could still use a little longer. Nice fat buds on her though gunna see how the final product is before I decide if I will run it again. Started the flush on most of these last week. Everything has been steady all around. Going to start taking them down a few at a time over the next week or 2 some will go longer than others so they'll come down 3 or 4 at a time.

White Widow – Week 6 | Second Big Flower, Buds Forming 🌸🌿 Light Schedule: 12/12 from seed Room Temp: ~28°C (stabilized with AC) Humidity: ~66% VPD: ~1.33 kPa CO₂: 450–800 ppm Watering: Hand watering Soil Content EC: ~2.96 ⸻ From Hairs to Buds This week marks a real turning point. Our White Widow is moving past simple hairs, now we can clearly see the beginnings of tiny buds forming. It’s the second big flower stage in her journey, and the structure is starting to express the true White Widow personality: compact, resinous, and promising. I took her out of the tent for another photoshoot, capturing her in detail with the Sony A6000. Close-ups show her leaves, structure, and those first clustered flowers. I also filmed short videos, including one where I share how I talk with my plants daily. For me, it’s not optional — it’s part of a symbiotic relationship. Plants respond to energy and care, and I believe everyone should try it. 🌱💭 ⸻ Light Strategy – Emerson Effect Simulation A special note this week: I recorded a screen video from the TrolMaster TM+ app to show how the lights are scheduled. 🌅 Wake-up: The reds switch on 15 minutes before the whites and blues. 🌇 Wind-down: At night, the reds also stay on 15 minutes longer than the other spectrums. This is designed to simulate sunrise and sunset while taking advantage of the Emerson Effect, a synergistic boost in photosynthesis efficiency when far-red and red light are combined with other wavelengths. The result? Plants wake up and settle down more naturally, with smoother light transitions, reduced stress, and potentially increased energy capture. It’s a small tweak, but it reflects how every detail of this environment is tuned with intention. ⸻ Environmental Changes This week, a big addition: the AC unit. Before, the room was running hot at 31–32°C and more, but now it’s stable at 28°C (occasionally 29°C). Combined with ~66% RH, this gives a steady VPD of 1.33, right in a comfortable zone for flower. CO₂ naturally fluctuates between 450–800 ppm, and the plants are thriving in these conditions. Even during the hotter weeks, they adapted beautifully, proof of the resilience of both the genetics and the environment we’ve been building. ⸻ Feeding & New Recipe Until now, she’s been on the Aptus base recipe: • Regulator – 0.15 ml/L • CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml/L This week, I introduced a Plagron trio to push flower development: • Power Buds – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Green Sensation – 1 ml/L Why now? Because she’s transitioned from stretch to actual bud formation. Power Buds helps with compact flowering sites, Sugar Royal enhances metabolism and energy (especially under high light), and Green Sensation supports resin and bud swelling later on. Together with Aptus, it’s a blend of precision and experimentation, trusting experience, intuition, and past results. ⸻ 12/12 From Seed – A Quick Recap This run is about exploration: • Started from seeds, with early germination struggles (mistakes included, lessons learned). • This White Widow is the sole survivor of those early days. • Straight into 12/12 from seed, she grew compact and resilient, surprising us by taking her time to flower despite the cycle. • Now, at Week 6, we see her first true buds. She’s not the tallest, but she’s beautiful, living proof of how genetics + environment + patience = results. ⸻ Looking Ahead What to expect: • Buds thickening and clustering. • Stronger aroma starting to emerge. • More demand on nutrition as flowering sites expand. What not to expect: • A tall, stretchy plant — she’s compact and will likely stay that way. • Early harvest — White Widow still takes her time, even under 12/12. ⸻ Shoutouts & Gratitude 🙏 🌱 Zamnesia – for the legendary White Widow genetics 💧 Aptus Holland – for the precise, reliable base nutrients 🌸 Plagron – for the flower enhancers that now join the recipe 💡 ThinkGrow – for the bar LEDs keeping perfect spread 🚀 Future of Grow – for the Black Series 600W full-spectrum power 🧠 TrolMaster – for automating and stabilizing the grow environment (and letting us dial in the Emerson effect with custom light scheduling!)

The plant was easy to grow overall .. it grew fast and a little on the tall side which had me nervous but I was able to raise the lights up just enough to finish, so it all worked out in the end. buds came out hard and frosty no complaints . This was a freebie seed too! didn’t expect it to come out as fire as it did man was i wrong. Straight fire 🔥 Ran into root rot in the beginning of veg but the great white and hydroguard saved my ass.🙏

Blueberry Headband (2) and a Amhest Sour Diesel (1)from Humboldt Seeds. * Even though the ASD seedling is much different than the other ASD that I've grown, HSO says there's not a chance seeds got mixed, so I'm assuming that this pheno is more on the Amherst Super Skunk side of the lineage as was a seedling last grow. Love the pheno! Much different than the others. https://www.dinafem.org/en/blueberry-headband/ https://www.dinafem.org/en/amherst-sour-diesel/ Lighting https://www.horticulturelightinggroup.ca/products/260w-qb-v2-led-kit Soil Amendments for Blueberry Headband Soil https://www.gaiagreen.com/product-page/all-purpose-4-4-4 https://www.gaiagreen.com/product-page/glacial-rock-dust https://www.gaiagreen.com/product-page/mineralized-phosphate http://www.seasoil.com/ Worm castings Sunshine Mix #4 Epsom Salts Molasses Teas made from Gaia as well as in the soil and top dressing.

The High intensity was to strong (clearly my fault) in the beginning which stunted her overall stretch, she however still delivered super dense, terpene and trichome loaded buds.

These plants are getting bigger and bigger, i really like the shape of them, they look vigorous, at the moment great strain, still need to see the buds but its looking good 👍

Week 5 Flipped to Flower. Finally recovered from Light burn and spider mites. Closed up all my light leaks and added a little CO2 to the room. Will be adding more CO2 soon. Trellis has been added Turned Lights up to 75%

To update...

Week 7: day 49-55 Day 51: 2 ml/l bio grow, 3ml/l bio heaven, 2 ml/l bio bloom, 1ml/l top max Day 54/55: It rained quite a bit last night, let's hope the buds don't form mold!

Day 99. Girls are superb, as always too thin, too lanky, but in reality its million of buds and i am more than happy ! ;)) Last feed in the middle of week without any BioGrow. Then only water. In plans 24-25 of May is chop day, thinking to defoliate more a week before chop. Day 103. Girls are pumping and fading, some are fading ;))))) All 4 Runtz most green, but Mini and Frosty looks like almost ready, they are a week upfront with others. Monster Blue Dream eats herself like no-one else, she is fading fast, loads of nuggy, frosty buds, but i will push all to the same day, some trees will be for day smoke, some for crash out evenings ;))) Day 105. Girls got last light feed , we are on final stretch ! Happy Growing !

Pictures and video just does not do it's justice for this beauty.

Very good week, got some low stress training going on, some netting a little bit of defoliation happen this week.

Due to the different genetics not all plants wil be ready at the same time. I do my best to keep RM and RH as low as possible and i give medium to high dosages of nutrients. Once a week i administer amino acids. The plants are realising really strong aroma.

Harvesting the cheese auto tonight 😁

That's how I know the crop was harvested too early:( ..... but only because someone started visiting my place of cultivation and took my two girls, and left two, so that he wouldn't come back a second time and take them, I decided to cut her down earlier:( that's it such news awaited me when I returned from vacation, but overall the girl looked very beautiful, although she got a lot of stress when the snails ate her, but she endured it and recovered very well:) I will dry the bigger flowers and make bubble hash from the rest, good luck to everyone be careful in nature :).

Taking a heavy heat wave in my area... so my girls are beeing cooked alive I hate to see them like this... I already added more CO2 to help them compensate a bit. Well the clones are beeing flushed for almost 5 days now in 4-6 days im gonna put them into 48 h darkness and harvest wish me the best =) Trichomes are looking evenly brownish all over the plants now just like I love them :P Also trying out the Clean fruits for flushing will see what it can do for me=)

Start of the bloom phase I got some nitrogen deficiency but I could handle the problem by giving them some extra nutes

One of the elbows on the fixture was loose and lowered a bulbs, getting a few tops a little crispy so I dropped the pot a half inch. Other than that we are trucking along. Probably another 4 weeks to go

All in all this was an amazing harvest I usually have around 8-10 plants and harvest anywhere from 24-36 ozs per harvest with the 8 plants I had this harvest including the biscotti mintz and cookies USA I ended up with 898g total dry weight with all top quality flower. I’ve learned some things with all my previous runs when it comes to dialing in my quality and yield and definitely watching for those herms because I like to push my plants to the max when it comes to training ! GMO PUnch -Greenpoint I’m giving this a total score of 7-10! Biscotti Mintz- Barney’s farm Total score 10-10 Cookies USA score 7-10
