Went west trim and will tidy up dry trim as I’m simply terrible At it. Great aroma - Very sticky !!! Very frosty. Almost a sun actually to cut them down. But they’re up for it, they know the medicinal love they bring. Think the smoke report should be high grade

07/15/2025 Started veg week by transplanting an AK 2.0 into a 20 gallon fabric pot others will be going into 3 gallon nursery pot. The 20 gallon fabric pot is in second year of growing, is amended with Carbon G (Lesco) worm castings and other organic stuff I can't remember, (Coast of Maine Stonington Blend 5-2-4) plant food and top pot off with Coast of Maine Stonington Blend soil, but I want to make it a no till type bed. I've also been watering pots with BIO-REMEDY to insure plenty of microbial activity in plants root zone and nemetodes too! See ya next week.

Wow, what a week. Finally installed my Inkbird humidity controller and look at the results. Massive difference having the VPD on point at 25°C and 60% RH. A video at the end shows my setup. Did a bit more supercropping this week and more defoliation to keep all tops at the same level, this will make the Scrog setup alot easier. Please like this and comment any questions or thoughts. Peace out guys. Charlie

White Widow – Week 3 Flower | 12-12 From Seed 🌸❄️ Cycle: 12/12 (sometimes 11/13) from seed Stage: Flowering – Week 3 Feeding: Aptus + Plagron + All-in-One Liquid ⸻ Full Flower Mode Our White Widow has fully embraced her flowering stage. This week marks her third week in flower, and she’s already showing beautiful bud formation from top to bottom. Despite her compact size, she’s filling in evenly and with excellent structure. What really stands out is the early frost. Resin glands are already visible, sparkling under the light. For such a modest-sized plant, her energy is clearly going into dense flowers and resin production, not stretch. She’s showing her true White Widow heritage, compact, resin-heavy, and vigorous. ⸻ Nutritional Strategy This week, her feeding remains consistent with the established recipe: • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml/L • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml/L • Plagron Power Buds, Sugar Royal, Green Sensation – 1 ml/L each But we’ve added something new: • All-in-One Liquid 🌱 This addition is meant to give her a balanced nutrient push during this critical phase. By Week 3, plants are transitioning from bud set into flower bulking, and the All-in-One helps provide extra micronutrients and macros that might not be fully covered by the base mix. The goal is to give her everything she needs for flower development, without overloading her. We’ll be watching closely to see how she reacts, but so far, she’s thriving. ⸻ What’s Happening Now At this stage, we see: • Bud stacking beginning across multiple sites. • Resin production kicking in early, with noticeable frost. • Minimal stretch, as she stays compact and focuses on density. • Healthy leaf expression, still a deep, vibrant green. This week is often called the “foundation of flower.” The plant sets the stage now for how heavy, dense, and resinous the later weeks will be. If nutrition and environment stay on track, we can expect these bud sites to start bulking steadily over the next 2–3 weeks. ⸻ What to Expect (and What Not To) ✅ Expect: • Rapid increase in bud density. • More trichome development, the frost we see now is just the beginning. • Aroma starting to intensify as terpenes begin expressing. ❌ Don’t expect: • Major vertical growth, her stretch is over, and she’ll remain compact. • Early harvest, White Widow typically flowers for at least 8–10 weeks. ⸻ Educational Note – Why Early Frost Matters Trichome production this early is a good indicator of plant health and genetic quality. Resin glands serve as protection for the plant against heat, light, and pests, so seeing frost at Week 3 tells us she’s thriving under the current conditions and that her genetics are naturally resin-heavy. For growers, this means a higher chance of strong aroma, flavor, and potency later on. ⸻ A Quick Recap of the Journey • Germination: Not an easy start — mistakes were made, but this White Widow was the survivor. • Veg: Compact growth under 12/12 from seed, slower to show flowers, but structurally beautiful. • Flowering: Took her time to enter full flower mode, but now she’s moving fast and strong. She’s the perfect example of how patience, careful nutrition, and trust in the genetics pays off. ⸻ Shoutouts & Gratitude 🙏 🌱 Zamnesia – for the legendary White Widow genetics 💧 Aptus Holland – for reliable, precision nutrition 🌸 Plagron – for flower enhancers that push her into full bloom 💡 ThinkGrow & Future of Grow – for the light power and spectrum balance 🧠 TrolMaster – for stable and adaptive control of the grow environment And most of all — thank you to everyone following along this diary. Your time, support, and interest in this journey mean everything. This isn’t just a grow log, it’s a story we’re writing together. ⸻ 📸 This week’s gallery includes: • Close-ups of bud development and trichomes ❄️ • Studio shots highlighting her compact beauty • Room updates with environmental stability Next Week Goals & Forecast 🔮 As we move into Week 4 of flower, here’s what we’ll be watching for: • Bud Bulking – Flowers should begin to thicken, with calyxes swelling and pistils multiplying. • Resin Expansion – Expect a noticeable increase in trichome coverage, making her sparkle even more under the lights. • Aroma Kickoff – White Widow is famous for her pungent, earthy-spicy scent. We should start catching stronger whiffs this week. • Nutritional Balance Check – With All-in-One Liquid added, we’ll be observing closely for any signs of overfeeding or lockout, though so far she’s responding beautifully. • Environmental Consistency – The new AC unit is stabilizing temps and humidity — a perfect setup for flower development. Holding VPD steady will be key. ❌ What we don’t expect yet: • No real ripening signs (amber trichomes or fading leaves) — it’s still too early. • No heavy weight yet — the bulking comes between Weeks 4–7. This next stage is often described as the “early swell” phase. It’s where flowers go from just “forming” into recognizable buds with weight, density, and stickiness. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

So far she’s growing great, I noticed she was a bit finicky with the nutrients at 75% strength, I noticed a couple claws here and there so I only fed big bud and sensi bloom and a little lower strength and she reacted great to it.

Everything is going really well. I am now following a strict EC guideline and it's truly helped me not fuck up the plants at all, thus far. **fingers crossed** The addition to Fish Sh!t has only made things wonderful. From my understanding it just allows the roots to, in essence, eat what they need - vs - being fed what you get. So far, I can't argue. SPREADSHEET: Jack's vs. Advanced: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HtHnZOxMHtBK5DFQjpBun2lbhDxYVhI7lJaq4W6xbyk/edit?usp=sharing 9/26 - Day 35: Slight light burn - nothing major at all. Moved lights and used "Korona", a light PPFD app, and placed everything a little better. 9/28 - Day 37: All is good, shit's be growing like crazy. Trellis netting is amazing.

Nutrients: EHG Micro & Grow, Biodyne, CalMag pellets, Phytha tonic Height: ±92cm Training: Minimal so far – letting her stretch naturally Tart Pops is now at Week 5 of veg and towering at just over 90cm! Strong central stalk with nice spacing between nodes. She’s clearly enjoying the environment and feeding routine, showing healthy leaf structure and consistent vertical growth. Started alternating Biodyne and fish tank water feedings with light EHG Grow + Micro to maintain a steady nutrient uptake. CalMag pellets are doing their job—no deficiencies showing. I’ve also added a preventive Neudosan spray due to early spider mite issues spotted on other plants in the grow. Holding off on heavy training for now—may top or tie down later this week depending on growth pattern. She's shaping up to be a beast going into the next few weeks! 📏: 92cm and rising 🌱 Vibes: Vigorous and lush Pest Control: Neudosan preventive spray
