Great to see you and I missed you, I had some time so I created a video to thank our lovely foster company, who were so kind to let us try their light in return for a review. Now, most of you don't know I'm also into making music, mostly Techno but I also love HipHop and Gangster rap, mainly 90's Westcoast, although I'm fond of East Coast and a little dirty South, so this was an excellent time to showcase one of my tracks. So please check my Autumn-themed, not commissioned, or approved by Mars Hydro, visualization video in thanks for @MarsHydroLED. The grow has been going great! If you don't count the about a thousand fungus gnats I have been fighting. I'm manually manifolding and training the girls, into the desired shape, which is a bit hands-on but I see it as a collaboration more than a 50 shades approach to training. You can't just bust out a rope and domination on girls like that. We ease it in there, going to the limit every time, making them stretch and curl underneath the touch of our tender but firm hands. And when they are used to a little groping and fixation, we might bring out a few ropes here and there to spice it up a little. Anywaaaays.... I'm getting carried away here, back to the grow. I had bought some coco-peat, after leaving none for the top layer as I suggested to all of you in the previous weeks of my grow (if you missed it, click one week back for a full recipe (the yellow image) for everyone in Europe) left me with enormous amounts of fungus gnats. Its seems to alleviate the problem already. As it did with my previous grow the Gelato 33 Golden Canopy from Heaven. In the meantime I notice my temperatures going down so Im trying to fix that too. All in all it had been a good week and this Orange Hill Special is promising to become something special! Thanks for visiting again, see you soon!

Ciao a tutti, dopo 4GG le bimbe sono esplose! Grazie al Rizhotonic aggiunto sia in terra sia per via fogliare. Ho evitato di fertilizzare con BioVega in quanto ho utilizzato il terriccio Biocanna che lo è gia. Attendo impaziente!😛😎 Giorno 14-03 le bimbe si presentano omogenee e forti, non rilevo nessuna carenza, continuo ad aggiungere il Rizhotonic e annaffio solo con acqua. Giorno 16-03 2ml di Rizhotonic per via fogliare. Giorno 17-03 passo alla 600 HPS per la fioritura, ho aggiunto 2ml di BIOVEGA la temperatura è stabile a 26.5C.

The day of harvest has arrived! Even though it always feels like a big day - at least for growing, lol - there isn’t actually much to be done. I always hang the plants as a whole and only trim enough to make sure there are no air pockets during the drying process. I know it might spark some controversy, but I dry by VPD, which also lets me adjust the humidity according to the temperature. Each plant came in at around 200g wet weight, which is rather small - but honestly, if the quality is high, I don’t mind. I have to admit though, they are very small 😜. The smell is as expected: like you put your head in cookie dough! Until next time!

🌱 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.

Great veg week. Its an increased nutrient week. Only issue was slightly high ph in soil, so I added a little more vinegar to my water. On previous grows, I would do my LST tie downs on approx day 31-33, but growth was really good, and over 10" on 7 of 9 plants, so tied down early on those 7, on day 28. Great color and stalk girth so far.

July 18, 2024 I can't get my pictures to organize. So it's a hot mess. July 14, 2024 Day 85 This week is the last for nutrients. Next week I'll be switching to Flawless Finish and then plain water for about a week. Picture and watering day! I got some cola pics and the regular pics. Next week I'll start taking trichome pics. Sour Diesel A is looking great! Her buds are super like green and totally frosted. She smells absolutely delicious. She's also getting ready to fade. Just a few more days and we should see the beginning of some beautiful colors. Sour Diesel B has already started fading. I'm not sure that this is good or bad, but the leaves are canoeing and starting to point up a bit. However, they are all starting to show purples and some yellowing, but mostly purples. Right around the edges of the leaves. Sour Diesel C got a half gallon top feed today and got her reservoir topped off. No runoff, so that tells me she's still thirsty. Looking great as well. Her buds are tight and covered in trichomes. Not the biggest buds, but I'm sure they will make up for it in potency and density. Sour Diesel D is not getting ready to fade yet. She actually has the best leaf color of all the plants, but she's not advancing into the fade. I'm not too worried about it. She'll come around eventually. The humidity was below 60% this morning. Unfortunately that didn't last. Now the humidity is at 63% with the temp being right at 76°. Once the AC kicks on, everything will be fine. Not to mention, I just watered, so the humidity is expected to be a little high for a while. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.8° RH: 57.4% VPD: 1.23 kPa July 15, 2024 Not much going on today. Just the daily pic and some observation. Sour Diesel A looks great! She's just starting to show signs of fading. But barely. Soon enough. Sour Diesel B is starting to fade really well all over. The leaves are looking like I've seen on other plants, so that's got to be a good thing. Buds are super fat. Leaves are all starting to lighten up with a bit of yellow mixed with purple. I can't wait to see how she turns out in the next 2 weeks. Sour Diesel C is looking pretty good. Nice buds, if a little small. The top leaves are still droopy, but it doesn't look like anything I know how to fix. Sour Diesel D is still doing her thing. Her buds seem to be building still, so that's good. Another couple weeks and she should have some hefty colas. The environment as, always now, has high humidity and a decent temp. It will drop down in around an hour or two. Update: I think I may have to start flushing my plants very soon. Maybe the next watering. I have to check my trichomes first but I believe they should be ready for flush. It's week 7 of flower, so shouldn't I be flushing now? I'll update again when I check the trichomes. I think I may be right though. Final Update: After checking the trichomes of each plant. I think it's safe to say the flush will start with the next watering. I'll be flushing 6 gallons per plant apparently. Then I'll fill the reservoirs up with plain PHed water. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.4° RH: 57.6% VPD: 1.24 kPa July 16, 2024 Picture Day! Nothing else going on. Sour Diesel A is starting to get too heavy for the branches. They are leaning more and more. I had to prop up another branch. With more to follow. She also has very small signs of fade. Sour Diesel B has foxtails and I think they are natural. There's no stressors for foxtails to show up and the buds aren't losing any density. I'll keep an eye on it. It's very interesting. Sour Diesel C is getting heavier and drinking more. She has a very small amount of color coming to her leaves. She's even more frosty as well. What's nice is the lowers are almost as big as the uppers. Not that the uppers are big, but they are dense. There's also a whole ton of bud all over the plant. Sour Diesel D was neglected yesterday. I forgot to fill her reservoir. She was a bit light today, but I refilled the reservoir as soon as I noticed. She'll be fine. Also, no signs of fade yet. She does have really fat buds though. Each branch has a super dense and fat cola. But compared to the main cola, these side branch colas look tiny. I'm thinking maybe 2 oz out of this plant. It's raining today and the humidity in the tent is pretty high. 63%. Also the temp is around 78°. A little high, but I can drop it down pretty quickly. Grow System Environment: Temp: 76.0° RH: 60.5% VPD: 1.18 kPa July 17, 2024 Not a lot going on today. Just the daily and inspection. Sour Diesel A looks great. Her buds are getting fatter. I'd say another 2 weeks left for this one. She is just starting to show purple on the outside edges of a couple fan leaves. Sour Diesel B has more and more color coming in. I checked out her trichomes today. Not much to look at so I didn't post a pic. I'll be posting trichome pics next week. Her foxtails are becoming more pronounced, but super dense. These buds are going to look gnarly. Sour Diesel C is looking great! She still has a good 2 to 3 weeks left I think. With the flush happening at the next watering, hopefully that will kick her into full speed and she finishes up with the rest of the tent. Sour Diesel D is looking pretty awesome. She has some foxtails as well. Nothing like Sour Diesel B. But still getting there. It has to be natural. The temp is fine and the light is definitely not too bright or close. But her main cola is super dense. I'm almost certain she'll need a wet trim to avoid mold. The environment is the same as ever. High humidity until the AC kicks on. So around 62% with the temp around 76° Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.4° RH: 60.5% VPD: 1.16 kPa July 18, 2024 It's picture day! Not much else going on today. Some pics. Some inspection. Checking reservoirs. Sour Diesel A looks great! Her buds are heavy, her leaves are showing a bit more color and she is super sticky. She has quite a bit of water left in her reservoir. So I'll have to dump whatever's left tomorrow. That's when I start the flush. Sour Diesel B is looking fantastic! Her colas are huge for her size and super hard. She's showing even more color and I think bulking up a bit more. Her reservoir is about half full still. So it will also be emptied tomorrow. What a waste of nutrients. Oh well. I don't want to prolong the feeding regimen any more than what is needed. Sour Diesel C looks great as well. Her buds are hard and swelling up more. I expect to see even more swelling over the course of the next couple weeks. Sour Diesel D still isn't showing any signs of color. She is super healthy and I think with the flush, she will start to show colors in no time. Her reservoir is nearly empty. So I'll clean the reservoir tomorrow. Although. I don't think I'm going to use the reservoirs for the rest of the run. The flush should do the trick for a few days. Maybe 4. That being said, I anticipate flushing 4 or so times over the rest of her life cycle. The environment is still a mess in the morning. Although, it's not as bad today as it's been. It's under 60% which is about as much as I can ask for. The AC in the house will definitely drop it down low today. So I'm excited about that. Currently, my portable AC is running to keep the room from getting too warm, thus increasing the temp in the tent to an undesirably warmer state. Currently it's 74° in there. Pretty good. I'd love to see it there with 45% humidity. 40% if I can somehow squeeze it. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.2° RH: 58.2% VPD: 1.18 kPa July 19, 2024 This will be a 2 part entry today. It's my first time flushing, so with this first part, I'm going to explain what I'm thinking for flushing. I haven't read this anywhere and it makes the most sense to me. I read quite a few ways to flush. Use a hose until the runoff is clear, dump in 2 to 3 times the amount of water to gallon of soil. And a few others. However one thing I'm seeing here is cleanliness. Both methods seem really messy and should be done outside or in a sink. I don't have either of those options, so it's not something I can do. Then I read a way that makes way more sense. Water as usual but with a little extra, then wait 10 to 15 minutes and do it again. So to make it best for me I've come up with this idea. I'm using a 5 gallon bucket, a 12" plant riser and my sprayer. The goal is to keep it as clean and efficient as possible. Maybe this is just common sense and everyone already does it this way, but the plan is to take the riser and put it on top of the bucket and the plant on the riser. Because I'm running a 3 gallon fabric container, I'll need 6 gallons of water. I don't really understand how that is good for the plant, but it's my first time. And of course I'm reading all this from professionals, but still I feel like I'm missing something. Anyway, the goal is to water a gallon at a time, wait 10 minutes and another gallon. I think I'll start with 3 and see how things go. That should fill the bucket half way. Then in 3 days, I'll do the same thing. By the end of flushing number 2, the 6 gallons will have gone through and the soil should be clean. In theory that is. Then I can water as needed for the rest of the grow. Also, I'm not sure, but this method may only be good for fabric containers. And there is definitely a size limit. 5 gallon containers at most. Anything larger than that would be too wide and will make a huge mess. My only concern is time out of the tent. I only have 2 buckets, so I can only do 2 plants at a time. The time out of the tent away from the light will be nearly an hour. I think I'll have to pull the back 2 first and then the front 2. It's the fastest and most efficient way to do this. But still the plants will be out of the tent for quite a while. 2 concerns. Lack of light and the smell. For me it's an issue. For others it's not, but for those who have smell issues, I use a portable AC. It pulls the air out and blows it outside. So it helps with the smell in the room. The lights on the other hand are going to be an issue. I know it's not going to be hours, but still. I don't think it's a big deal with autos, but I'm not sure with photos. I'm probably overthinking this part, but I prefer to not risk anything. Update 1: Both Sour Diesel A and C are done with their flush for the day. 3 gallons each. PHed to 6.2 moving on to B and D in about 15 minutes. Update 2: now that I'm finished with the flush, I can explain what I did so far. This is round 1. In 3 days I'll do it again. I used my bucket contraption and first did 2 gallons of water. One gallon at a time between 2 plants each. After the 2 gallons were in each plant, I waited about 15 minutes for the dripping to stop for the most part. I then added the 3rd and final gallon for the day to each plant. I waited a good 20 minutes before putting them back in the tent. No mess in my room, no excess water in the tent. I also cleaned out the reservoirs and left them empty for now. I'll add water 3 days after the next flush. They can drink that plain water for the rest of the grow. The environment is a little off today, but not in a bad way. The humidity is just under 60% and the temp is around 75°. The temp is great. But the humidity is the problem as usual. The house AC hasn't kicked on yet, so I'm struggling with my portable AC. I have it set to dehumidify, but that's not happening. Never use a portable AC as a dehumidifier. Even if it has the option. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.3° RH: 59.2% VPD: 1.10 kPa July 20, 2024 It's picture day! And the end of the week. A quick recap. We started out with nutrients and flushed yesterday. Next week will be flushing again then plain water. We also got some fade happening with Sour Diesel B. Not much going on today. Just pics and the weekly video. Sour Diesel A is starting to fade and quickly. Yesterday she looked all lush green with a few spots of purple here and there. Today a lot of leaves are showing purple edges. It's starting to fade. It should get really exciting for the rest of the run. She also has some pretty hard leaning branches. I may have to find a way to prop them up, but it just means heavy buds. Sour Diesel B has more and more purple leaves. Her buds are huge and rock hard. She's sticky and smelly. I read that when flushing plants, the Aroma gets stronger. We will see if that's true or not. So far it's about the same, but it's only day 1 in the flushing period. Sour Diesel C is getting lime green leaves. From what I understand, this strain should end up with lime green buds. I've also seen plants with light green leaves. I believe this one will start fading any day. Sour Diesel D is getting heavy. Her branches are starting to pull down a bit. Other than that, her main cola is massive and rock hard. I'm super excited to see how much it weighs. The environment is alright today. It's not a million degrees out and the humidity is relatively low. Not in the tent though. It's still 60% humidity with a nice temp of 76° Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.8° RH: 57.4% VPD: 1.19 kPa

Well i broke a branch right off Bubba Cheese cake #2 stem by slightly trying to move a 3 gal pot lol ouchie They will both need supports fyi. Anywho, I either out did myself or these are the longest trichomes I've seen. #2 is bigger n frostier. #1 smells like freaken candy...and i mean the good colors you save for last lol. #2 is more muted but creamier and maybe hopefully some cheese. Increased exaust fan speed, Increased oscillating fan speed. Reduced lights to 11/13. Adjusted far red, adjusted morning to come on later at night and turned off the heat mat (yes i had a heat mat lol). That should hopefully bring out any colors but it seems this one may stay green af. Another grower is going to week 20 i think in flower and still no color change....in my experience that means this wont taste anything like earthy wood anthocyanins.

Here we are ready for the right harvest on the last day of the contest. I am very satisfied with these plants, they are over half an ounce per plant but it can even reach 70-80 in my opinion. Wet cut is scary. Beautiful strain with different phenotypes, the two tall girls are already in the dry room, these two are pure fire. Big effort during the harvest but a lot of grass. The resin you'll notice is there as well and we can't wait to taste it.

Flipped to 12/12 at day 43. Raised light-intensity from 60 to 90 %. Now +70% of the net is filled and i can see potential to make it an evenly shaped bowl full of fruits:-) The deep, dark colour has turned to a juicy green, shoots everywhere....... everything fine but two little things: 1) run-off-pH is a bit high...... 6.6-6.9. will feed rather acidic next time.... 2) Main Colas get a bit tall..... will supercrop them as soon, as the rest of the cannopy is organzied to a clean scrog. Nutritionwise i lowered N, raised K and gave an extra P-shot (0,05 g/L BLOSSOM-BOOST) on days 43 and 44. Day 45 fed pH 5.8 - readings immediatly dropped to 6.3 to 6.5 👍 Vigorous stretch.....!!! Mounted some more hooks to get the scrog even - works perfectly now! +80% of the net is filled......and the colas in the corner almost make plants of their own - i will supercrop them, as soon as they don't stretch any more. Day 46 fed pH 6.1 today..... readings still good (average 6.4) took out some more leafs today, to give a little more light to young shoots. Smell is getting stronger, but no visible signs of flowering yet.

It's been a beautiful strain to work with, the flowrs are definitely worth it after all this time, the quality is definitely high. However this pheno of ak420 smells very different from the other 2 phenos I've grown along with her. The flowrs are beautiful, very solid and frosty nuggets, I smoked a few little nuggets when trimming but I'm excited to taste the big buds, hope you guys enjoyed the process. I want to say that this pheno #1 has a different smell compared to the other 2 phenotypes of ak420 that you can see here on my page as well, so stay tuned guys! Overall result is very nice, good quality, strong weed, sticky, stinky. I can say that it's very great and also you can get them for a very cheap price so it's a very good investment if you're looking for a powerful and affordable strain. Cheers growmies! ❤️💚💛💎👨‍🌾
