Cruising

🌿 White Widow – Week 5 Flower (12/12 from Seed) This week marks a very special stage in the journey of our legendary White Widow. She’s fully into flower mode now, and what a sight she is. Her structure remains compact and elegant, but her buds are bulking beautifully. The trichomes are already covering her in a frosty layer, and her pistils stand out with those iconic, vibrant white hairs that give her such presence. Her leaves are a deep, rich green, almost darker than the sisters around her. This makes me wonder if she might show us some darker expressions as the weeks progress. It’s one of those fascinating mysteries of White Widow, you never really know until she decides to reveal it. ⸻ 💧 Feeding & Nutrition This week’s recipe combines Plagron and Aptus inputs, working hand in hand: • Plagron • Power Buds → flower formation boost • Sugar Royal → metabolism & terpene support • Green Sensation → bulking, quality, and finishing power • Aptus • All-in-One Liquid → full-spectrum base feed • CalMag Boost → structural support & deficiency prevention • Regulator → stress resistance & nutrient uptake enhancer 💡 Even though the super soil is reading around 5.75 NPK and already contains nutrients, we’re boosting her further because this girl is on a 12/12 (11/13) from seed shuttle. Her timeline is faster, so we want to see how far she can go and what she can take without stress. This is a balancing act, pushing her potential while respecting her limits. ⸻ ⚖️ 12/12 from Seed vs. Normal Veg + Flower Cycle For those joining now, here’s why White Widow looks the way she does: • Normal Cycle (Veg + Flower): • Weeks of 18/6 light first → plants grow tall, with big root systems. • 12/12 flip triggers stretch → often 2–3× size increase. • 12/12 (or 11/13) from Seed: • No long veg phase → plant stays smaller and more compact. • Buds start forming early → less size, but quicker cycles. • Ideal for experiments, time-saving, or small grows. 👉 Our White Widow is a prime example: compact frame, dense cola, side branches forming golf-ball buds. Small in stature, but already showing big personality. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment • Temperature: ~28–30°C • Humidity: ~57–60% • VPD: ~1.3–1.9 kPa • Light: Balanced spectrum & PPFD, designed for resin production & compact growth She has stayed stress-free despite the warm climate, showing her resilience. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect (and Not to Expect) Expect: • Buds bulking even further, stacking on that main cola and side branches. • Trichomes and frost building up week after week. • Aromas starting to get stronger as resin production increases. Not to Expect: • Major vertical stretch → she has chosen her form and will stay compact. • Quick finish → White Widow is a classic that takes her time to do things right. ⸻ 🗓️ Timeline Recap – From Seed to Week 5 Flower • Week 1: Germination → mistakes with the heat mat, but one strong survivor carried the torch. • Week 2: Settled into soil, fed gently while super soil activated. • Week 3: Compact growth, strong nodes, and healthy green structure. • Week 4: Transition into flower → bud sites forming, frost beginning. • Week 5 (Now): Full flower mode → trichomes sparkling, pistils shining, cola building beautifully. ⸻ 🙏 Gratitude & Community • 🌱 Huge thanks to Zamnesia for these legendary genetics. • 💧 Appreciation to Aptus and Plagron for powering this run with balanced nutrition. • 💡 Shout-out to the gear teams supporting the light and control setup. • ❤️ And, as always, gratitude to you — the community.

at the start of the week i was dealimg with bugs.. i gor rid of them with tje sesame and cinnamon.. cinnamon WILL burn your leaves if you leave too much on; they turn black and die... that being said im a sadist, so i then gave them a drink of stewed cucumber skins... they havent died.. ps.. forgot i gave them a distilled water feed at 2.3 early on in the week.. thought it wasn't happy. shall revert to 2 after a late week half strength 1/4 top 3/4 bottom feed at a slightly higher ph for the root dem Buds started to get legit this week..starting to get a frosty look now but decided to trim some of the shoddy bud sites regardless of being 20 days into flowering.. im away for a week. hopefully the setup will cope.. lights set to allow for movement.. fans will be on minimal.. and removed all other bug attracting tings. its been fun

A beautiful plant and amazing genetic and a great producer. Thank you so much for giving g me the opportunity to grow this magnificent flower. God bless

Not even sure if they’re actually in week 10 haven’t really been taking too many pictures. Really loving the gorilla cookies and how big they are vs the apricot auto in the closer left corner. All other 3 are gorilla cookies autos. Just started feeding just distilled water for now and flush them to get for hatbest

Hunt for Phenotypes

Mais uma semana tranquila de crescimento saudável. Flores aparecendo em abundância e crescendo saudavelmente. fiz uma pequena desfoliação para garantir a chegada de luz nas flores inferiores e melhor circular o ar entre os buds. Ainda regando apenas com água.

Lovely week! Done a little defoliating along the way while positioning her branches into the scrog, some i had to use ties to manipulate the branches where I wanted them in the scrog. Started by bending the main through the scrog then tying it back like an S, and the lowers I gave a little bend daily and then tied with pipe cleaners until she goes into full bloom and shoots her secondary stems up and matures! Can’t wait that’s probably days away for me but a week for yall! But follow my insta and there you hey dailies! 💚💯 thank you gromies

Saludos, por aquí mis hijas, que opinan amigo? Estoy muy deseoso de cambiarlas a floración. Buenos humos

Come on Man City!

New week, so far the feed was recently a pinch of seaweed bliss with some fulvex, to assist with the heat. New feed will be posted soon. I am re-entering the Fruity Pebbles!! She never died, and in fact, I’d looking pretty good considering!!!!! Super cool

Ellas dejaron de crecer y esta semana solo aumentaron 2/4cm en altura ,pese a que hace mucha calor ellas siguen floreciendo perfectamente,están comenzando a tener bastantes tricomas,ellas continúan demandado mucho abono,veremos qué tal empiezan la segunda etapa de floración,sweet seeds nunca falla

Week 7 for Fuel D.OG by seedsman One of my favourites of this season... so much so I've decided to flower her indoors instead of putting her outdoors as planned. She will probably get 2/3 more weeks of veg before going into flower anyway. Shes being fed a heavy watering every 2 days. She's also got 26 tops ATM, don't think ill be topping again unless i have space to do so. Will still be pulling her apart more just letting these tops grow up a little & when i transplant her to 25L ill pull her sideways. Have a new LED light coming in this week to handle the temps of the summer better. No more yellowish looking photos 😂

Tied down 4 branches. Will start scrog end of next week. Topped her out.

Day 56 – Rock-Hard Buds & Chop Time for Caramba! ​Current Status & Plant Overview: We are officially sitting at Day 56 of flower and the tent is an absolute jungle of frosty goodness. The canopy is completely stacked, and the SCROG net has done its job to perfection. The colas are looking massive, dense, and uniform right across the board. ​Bud Density & Terpenes: ​Rock-Hard: The buds on all plants are dense as rocks—completely solid from top to bottom, packing on serious weight in this final stretch. ​Citrus Terps: The aroma in the room is next-level insane. Every time I open the tent, it hits you right in the face with a heavy, complex wave of pure citrus terps. The profile on these genetics is elite. ​Caramba (The Chop is Tomorrow): ​Readiness: She’s completely dialed and ready for the axe. The trichomes are looking prime—cloudy with just the right amount of amber creeping in. The flush did its job, and she’s fading out nicely. ​The Plan: Tomorrow morning is chop day for Caramba! Time to hang her up and let her start the slow drying process. ​Nebulas (Holding Down the Tent): ​Progress: The two Nebulas are still pushing forward in their own rhythm. They’re frosting up heavily and packing density every single day, but they need just a little more time under the lights before their trichomes catch up to Caramba. ​Final Thoughts: Everything is running smoothly, and watching these finishes under these conditions has been a rewarding ride. Tomorrow morning we start harvesting the fruits of this labor. Stay tuned for the chop update!

Well what a week we've had😆 a myriad of shite. The guava didn't like the bloom so soon and it caused a magnesium lockout and then she got limp🙉🙉🤣 didn't panic and allowed a couple of good dry backs and she seems over the worst. She shot up nonetheless and trichome production had started and smelling sweeeeeeeeeet.
