Commencing Week 8: day 50 on January 19th Update is late my sincerest apologies. I will make it up by giving a very thorough smoke report when all is done. Otherwise all is going very well 😁😁👏👏 On day 50 I took the head off of bloody skunk. I checked trichome colors under USB microscope. At least 90% fully milky-white with maybe 5 or 6% Amber and the remainder clear. 😁 On day 55 I gave all of the plants a fan leaf trim including the remaining bottom half of bloody skunk. as I sit here and think about it I believe this will help with ensuring the entire plant ripens and matures at the same time - versus the tops being ready before the bottoms. I still plan on letting the bottoms of all these plants go way beyond the recommended time to see if I can initiate the process of rodelization. Either way I am glad to report that Bloody skunks pollenization looks like it is resulting in some seeds. (See photo). In hindsight my only concern is that because the plant finished a bit earlier than I expected the seeds may not make it to full maturity but I believe it should be okay we'll just have to wait and find out. That being said besides the bloody skunk being done just a few days early everything else seems to be right on time as described in plant profiles on company websites.👍 That's all for now thank you for your patience and attention and support and as usual feel free to leave any suggestions comments or questions and I'll do my best to get back sooner rather than later 😁

It’s crazy the amount of growth they’ve had the past few days and this is where I started to question if I waited too long and if I’m going to have enough space. They’ve been very healthy and growing vigorously.

White Widow – Week 5 | First Signs of Pre-Flower 🌸✨ Light Schedule: 11/13 from seed Room Temp: ~30.7°C Humidity: 57–60% VPD: ~1.89 kPa Water pH: 6.0–6.1 EC: 0.6 Watering Method: Hand watering ⸻ The Story So Far This queen has a story worth telling. We started with multiple White Widow seeds, but due to an uneven heat mat (lesson learned!), only one seed survived, this very plant. She’s been with us from germination, through her careful transplant into a prepared super soil boosted with Aptus Micro-Mix, Mycor-Mix, and substrate buffer powder. From the start, she’s been under an 11/13 light shuttle, and while I expected earlier flowering, she surprised me, holding back, stacking nodes, and keeping compact. This week, in her fifth week, she finally shows her first clear pre-flower signs. ⸻ Her Look Right Now She’s not tall, but she’s perfectly built, beautiful leaf structure, tight internodes, and starting to branch nicely. The leaves are a deep, healthy green and carry the classic White Widow vigor. I took her out for a studio photo session this week, capturing top shots, side views, and close-ups of her perfect symmetry. ⸻ Feeding Update Up to now, she’s had: • Aptus Regulator • Aptus CalMag Boost • Aptus All-in-One Liquid • Aptus Start Booster Now that she’s entering pre-flower, I’ve removed Start Booster and added Top Booster to support the transition. Current mix: • Regulator • CalMag Boost • Top Booster EC sits around 0.6, pH about 6.0–6.1. Even though she’s in rich super soil, this light feeding supports her until the full soil biology kicks into gear. ⸻ Conditions Yes, temps are a bit on the high side at 30.7°C with 57–60% RH, giving a VPD of ~1.89 kPa. Not ideal, but she’s handling it well, no signs of stress. Hand watering continues, and I might keep it that way for the full run to maintain control and intimacy with the plant. ⸻ What to Expect Next Now that she’s showing pre-flowers, I expect a slow but steady transition. Being in 11/13 from seed, she might flower more compactly, with denser bud sites rather than stretching heavily. This phase will be key to see how White Widow expresses under this unconventional light cycle. ⸻ Gratitude & Shoutouts 🙏 Huge thanks to those making this journey possible: 🌱 Zamnesia Seeds – for preserving and sharing this legend of the 90s 💧 Aptus Holland – for the precise, high-quality nutrients keeping her thriving 💡 ThinkGrow – for the perfectly balanced LED bars delivering even canopy light 🚀 Future of Grow – for the powerful Black Series 600W 🧠 TrolMaster – for environmental precision across the grow ⸻ 📸 Check the gallery for close-ups, overhead shots, and a short video tour of this beautiful survivor. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

This girl went 110 days from germination. I harvested her on Boxing Day morning, nothing fancy, just cut at the base and hung whole. She’ll be dried for around 10 days at 55%RH - 19*c and then put into jars for curing. She was quite a slow grower throughout, but never gave me any trouble. She was a pleasure to grow from start to finish. Il post an update once she’s dried and had a weeks cure 🌱💚

28/3/2020: DAY 24 AND 23 OF GORILLAS. 2LST is giving me some results ! beauty structure and healthy colour in the gorillas (yellow card shows the date of birth and strain) and the LH is starting to strech after 15 days of life ! No watered since 3 days MY CANNAPY (i used only 1 time deeper undergrow and only one 2 time raw water and 1 time delta 9 foliar spray) so the next watering session will be featured by Top Bloom and Delta 9 water solution directly to the ground (no foliar) because of to prepare the ladies to its bloom. LH will get some deeper undergrow because she only get raw water. 04/4/20 : day 30 and 31 on the gorillas super good structure and super fast growth. Lemon haze is on day 22 showing us its sativa structure. Both strains started to show some hairy preflowers at the top of the main cola and arround the satellites too. LH get top bloom + top veg ; GG get top bloom + top candy. depending on the evolution of the plants, I will use my PK 52-34 in super low dosis because of I want the ladies get used to it so I can increase the dosis little by little ! REMEMBER THOOSE MONSTERS ARE NOW 12 HOURS OF DIRECT SUNLIGHT + 12 HOURS WITH 400W HPS INDOOR LIGHTING ! go to week 1 to see my artificial light setup, super simple but super efficient ! stay tuned ! next weeks gonna be an amazing explosion of flowers, smells and joyness !

One of the 2 seeds the #1 pheno didn't make it to the surface after 72 hours, so I'm gonna have to replace it with another same strain seed which is the last one I got. Let's see how this baby girl of hard diesel #2 perfoms.

Week six all the plants have been doing very well. A few of them have suffered some broken tops because of me but other than that doing well the leafhoppers have been doing their best to do some damage but nothing major and the hole seem to be holding water very well I’ve been minimally watering only about once a week just a couple gallons. They seem to be retaining enough water, giving them their boogie brew tea every seven days and their pure protein with soluble seaweed every four days that’ll be the schedule till the end keep on pulling them down and stretching them out trying to get those branches to level out and grow more tops upwards. These plants this year are definitely larger than my previous ones, which surprised me I started these a little later, but they are much taller and growing much more vigorous than the last and the last were very large so high expectations for these week six everybody’s doing great. ..

Still fighting with pH. It was 5.5 when I add the plants, but when I check a few hours later, it's already above 6.5 Days 2: I trimmed the bottom fan leaves from Purple Kush to keep them off the ground. I also topped Purple Maroc. pH was still below 6 Day 4: Veg is gone wild..... I have been shoving the large fan leaves on the Autos underneath other branches to allow light in. Red Purps may get topped yet again. Day 6:. Switched autos to bloom nutrients. Added Purpanator to them. pH set to 5.5. Topped bottom and mid branches of Red Purps to keep canopy more even. Day 7: replaced CO2 generator.

Hey guys :-) Today a new diary starts with a strain from Amsterdam Genetics that I'm really looking forward to ☺️. I put 2 seeds to germinate. The more beautiful phenotype is kept in this diary, the other one is of course also preserved and is grown to the end 👍 . Of course everyone will be on instagram. (Maybe I will spontaneously start an extra diary with each phenotype, depending on whether time permits. Since I still have 3 seeds left, they will also come in the course of time 😃. The seeds were placed between damp paper towels to germinate. As soon as the first life appears they come to root in rockwool cubes and a greenhouse hood where there is a very high humidity. In addition, the greenhouse is heated so that the roots can develop nicely 👍. This passage is fertilized with the Greenhouse Feeding Bio line 💚. I'm really looking forward to growing with Amsterdam genetics because everything I've had from them so far has been very good 👍. Have fun with the update and stay healthy 🙏🏻 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this Nutrients at : https://shop.greenhousefeeding.com/us/ 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this strain at : https://www.amsterdamgenetics.com/product/choco-cheesecake/ Water 💧 💧💧 Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC. Add Cal / Mag to 0.4 Ec Ph with Organic Ph - to 5.8 - 6.4 MadeInGermany

I'm happy with progress this week. The plants have handled the transplant well. I didn't need to water last week and plan to give them 1.3 litres over two waterings this week. Started training Plant 2 this week and it has responded very well. I'll give Plant 1 another couple of days for its secondary branches to catch up then start training it too. Removed old dry leaves from Plant 1. I've decided not to do any topping this grow because I'm so far behind.

Week 6 - Transition to Flower (First Bloom Week) The Donutz squad has officially entered the bloom phase, kicking off the first week of flower in style. The upgrade to 7L pots has gone smoothly, and the plants are thriving in their new space. Monday marked the start of the flowering cycle, and everything is set up for an efficient and productive Sea of Green. Setup Adjustments: Canopy Leveling: The taller plants in the front row are left as-is, while the shorter ones in the back have been placed on top of the empty 3.7L pots. This ensures an even canopy for maximum light distribution. Defoliation: Everything under the net that wouldn’t develop into usable bud — based on past experience — has been trimmed away. The focus is now entirely on the top canopy and cola production. Nutrients & Care: Flowering Nutrients: Greenhouse Feeding Bloom is in play, with 30g applied per 7L pot (following the recommended 3-5g per liter). This should carry the plants through the stretch phase and provide a strong start for flower development. Watering: Still cruising with reverse osmosis (RO) water, keeping things clean and steady. Light Intensity: Slowly ramping up the light week by week to avoid shocking the plants, aiming for full intensity once they’ve settled into the flowering phase. Plans for the Stretch & Beyond: A second net is ready to go for after the stretch, ensuring the canopy remains supported and those fat nugs don’t collapse under their own weight. Continued monitoring of canopy height and plant health as they shift their energy into flowering. Observations: The Donutz are responding well to the flowering transition, with no visible stress. The even canopy and clean lollipop structure are setting the stage for optimal bud production. Everything is lining up perfectly for a strong flowering run. The Donutz are about to shine, and the tent is poised to deliver a heavy, uniform harvest. The Florida Gang energy is real — time to watch the nugs stack!

great!!! the girl gained momentum :) and started growing rapidly :) she looks healthy, maybe a little sad, due to the lack of space for roots and leaves, but I believe she will get used to it :) good luck to everyone:)
