Wow week two of flower is done and I am SO happy with how these four girls are doing. Day 9F/72S they got their first top dressing of Power Bloom at 75ml right before watering, dug into first few inches of soil like usual. I make sure to top dress the Power Bloom every 3 weeks and the other additives every 4 weeks, seems to keep the plants happy. Day 12F/75S things are looking healthy but quite bushy and I'm seeing some growth on the low parts of branches and below main canopy level so did a good cleanup at lights out. Helps to keep from wasting energy on bud sites that will get very little light and produce small/larfy buds. Also redirects that energy into the tops for bigger yields 🤞. Took off a good amount lots of airflow down there now. Day 14F/77S. All the girls are looking happy and healthy. Spending their days praying to the light and packing on bud sites! Looking down on the canopy she is just about full, glad I left some space to start! Oh and there was no noticable shock to the plants from the trim on the 12th day so that's good. Have been keeping the light at 16" from main canopy (aside from 3-4 extra tall branches) and running 100%. Goal is to let them grow another 3" so they are 13" from light and then will raise daily for the last bit of their growth. Should keep it around 750-950umol/s. Still watering 3L per plant every 3 days with just the slightest runoff from each. Tested runoff and is 6.7, usually don't do this but had enough one watering and was curious so figured why not. Was a great week can't wait to see next week's changes!

So proper calculation!! It’s exactly 5 weeks today since germination! Been getting cold temperatures during lights out period!! So just introduced a oil heater.. when lights are out now I’m keeping a desk fan running all the time with the carbon filter fan also! Oil heater comes on when lights go out but is only reaching a temperature of 21 degrees which is better than 14-15 that I had been getting without the heater! Still unsure weather I should be putting into flowering stage yet but that’s what I’ve decided to do! Getting bigger leafs still and unsure if to trim? One of my stems did snap as maybe a little to hard on the lst! It’s made the perfect clone tho! So done some research into clonex??? Another topic that’s tricking my brain!! Introduced more light into my grow tent also which is a fan operating 600w led grow light! Not sure if the light I already have and a led one will make a difference as there not the same?? But still they look healthy??

22. Dezember Video ist von gestern, die restlichen Bilder von heute. Wir neigen uns dem Ende zu :) Alle drei sind sehr unterschiedlich weit in der Reife. Nachdem ich doch eine milde Maus bin bin ich ganz happy über das Profil der Trichome: Links: relativ viele durchsichtige Trichome, wenig milchig, Bernstein konnte ich keines finden Mitte: die kleinste Pflanze die schon früher anfing zu blühen. Sie hat viele milchige Trichome und viele bernsteinfarbene. Durchsichtige habe ich kaum gefunden. Kann mir vorstellen das diese Lady für meinen Geschmack zu sehr klatscht x) aber das gilt es noch herauszufinden Rechts: visuell gefällt sie mir am besten! Die Blüten und die Wachstumsstrucktur ist wunderschön! Trichome hier sind überwiegend milchig, sehr wenig bernsteinfarben und wenige durchsichtig. So hätten vermutlich alle drei werden sollen 😅 ich werde wohl auf meine klimatischen Bedingungen im Zeöt nochmal etwas Einfluss nehmen müssen damit sich das besser deckelt. Die Lampe ist aus, die Töpfe furztrocken und der Zustand wird jetzt noch mindestens drei Tage gehalten. Plan ist um die Weihnachtsfeiertage zu ernten. Ich stelle mich auf einen langen schnippelprozess ein, da es doch schon viieeeel Pflanze ist x) Ich update dann wieder sobald es soweit ist. Euch wünsche ich schöne Feiertage ❤️ geniest eure Zeit ❤️

That’s impressive. This strain is amazing. Couldn’t be happier. Will keep going with this nutrient schedule until the two Royal Highness grow a bit more. I should do some LST asap because there are lot of hidden and trapped leaves under the bigger ones. Update: Did some LST to uncover the hidden leaves. I’m just a bit scared about how big she will get after this.

Las puntas de varias hojas de la rainbow se han enrolado hacia arriba levemente, esta semana he regado con agua solamente, mañana pondré la mitad de la dosis de fertilizante. Gorilla ghost va increíblemente bien, los pistilos empezaron a madurar, esperando con ansias el día de la cosecha, pero sin apurarme!

Changed the res added the flowering feed. These all seem to like an e.c of 1. Let it creep up slightly and got a little bit of burn on the tips in a few places. They’ve all stretched nicely except the Runtz which are still quite short compared to the rest.

Girls are looking stunning, first round with the cropsalt nothing else PH 5.8, no fluctuations, DTW. It been a slow transition to flower but this could also be due to flippin’ early, in a weeks time when I see more pistils and flower development I’ll be switching over to Bloom nutes. Temps/RH are on point 80/60 has been my range for this one.

Gran Jefa is definitely the biggest. 🍋 🍊 already shows that she probably will be the tallest... ...and she is the first that got fimmed (on day 16 since they sprouted out of the soil.)

01/27/25. Welcome to the start of week 4 Things are moving along well. Both the girls have done some nice growing the past few days. Have finally had a little warmer of temperatures. Still not where I’d like it, but I’ll take it. Watered yesterday, slowly, until I got a little run off. They did get food at 2.5 ml across 3 parts. I increased the calmag (1) and silica (2) as well. They have 4 nodes now and I will top them as soon as there’s 5. I was a dumb dumb and left my measuring tape inside the flower tent and lights are off so I’ll have to come back tomorrow and update that. #1 is still a very yellow/light green. She’s been that way since birth lol. She’s growing just fine and seems happy still. I’m not sure why she’s the color she is. #2 appears to be darker green as usual. She’s grown quite a bit and is pretty similar in size now to 1. Update: 01/29/2025-soil was pretty dry so watered both again with food. Also measurement update and pictures added. 01/31/25- topped and plain watered. Also added topping pictures/video Thanks for lookin. ✌️ You can grab these seeds here-https://www.zamnesia.com/us/6000-zamnesia-seeds-runtz-feminized.html This cultivar stands as a testament to the art of plant breeding, offering a 50/50 hybrid that's both flavorful and robust. Its aromatic profile is reminiscent of a bag of fruity candy. In the cultivation room, Runtz maintains a moderate stature, typically reaching 2.6–4.3 feet in height. Its flowering period is a swift 8–9 weeks, and with proper care, you can anticipate a generous yield. Indoors, Runtz can produce up to 15–17 ounces per square yard. Outdoor growers can expect a similar yield per plant, with harvest time around late September to early October. Runtz is renowned for its impressive strength, with a potency that reaches up to 27%. It's a cultivar that offers a harmonious experience. While enjoying Runtz, you may find yourself in a state of relaxation and contentment. And with its high potency, a little goes a long way. As for the flavor and aroma, Runtz truly lives up to its name. The scent is akin to diving into a bag of sweet, sugary treats, and the taste is just as delightful. It's the kind of indulgence that's hard to part with and will surely be the envy of your circle.

She is on a 12 /12 light cycle as she is in a tent with some photo period sisters that are in flower at the minute. So she won't have such as good a harvest if she was on a 18/6 light cycle.

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.
