Friday the 19th of May Day 23 of 12/12 recently started with the new nutrients mills part A and mills part B ppm 870 all in full flower now still not impressed with the front left plant but what can you do il be happy with a small yield from that one hopefully the quality is as good as my last grow 🍁😎 also need to upgrade my light been using cheap lights for awhile now and the grow is better each time so I’d like to see what I can do with a well known light from a good company

🌸 White Widow — Week 4 of Flower (12/12–11/13 From Seed) Stage: Week 4 Flower (full flower, no stretch left) Structure: Compact plant, building a tall main cola (~25 cm target) + tidy “golf-ball” side colas Frost: Already impressive; trichomes thickening across tops and sugar leaves Watering: Hand watering (by feel; no runoff chasing) Light routine: Still running the red-on/red-off sunrise/sunset via TrolMaster (15 min before/after) ⸻ Quick Recap (for anyone just joining) • Germination: We lost the first batch (uneven heat mat, my mistake). We restarted and this solo survivor is the one you see now. • Veg under 11/13: She stayed compact and stubbornly vegged a while before showing preflower, great node stacking. • Early flower: Bud set → second flower push → now deep into Week 4 with clear, even sites top to bottom. • Environment: Room was hot early on; AC install stabilized temps and RH. Plants never showed stress, credit to genetics, steady care, and balanced feed. ⸻ 🍽️ Nutrition (this week) We’ve removed Top Booster completely. Current, steady recipe: • Aptus Regulator – supports cell strength, transport efficiency, and stress tolerance • Aptus CalMag Boost – LED + coco/active soil insurance for Ca/Mg/Fe availability • Plagron Power Buds – encourages compact flower set at each node • Plagron Sugar Royal – metabolic push (N-based aminos) to drive energy use + aroma precursors • Plagron Green Sensation – balanced late-flower support (PK + organics/biostims) for density, oil, and finish • Aptus All-in-One Liquid – (still in) gentle full-spectrum base; likely to taper/stop soon as the soil biology carries more of the load Why this mix now? Week 4 is the “early swell” window: calyx initiation shifts into mass formation. We’re keeping Ca/Mg steady for membrane integrity and photosynthesis under strong LED; using Power Buds to keep sites tight, Sugar Royal to feed metabolism and terpenes, Green Sensation to support density/oils, and Regulator to keep the plant efficient under heat/PPFD. All-in-One remains as a safety net while the super soil’s biology fully ramps, then it can step back. ⸻ 🔬 Plant Development (what’s happening physiologically) • Stretch is done. Auxin dominance recedes; energy diverts to calyx swelling and trichome biosynthesis. • Trichomes rising. Expect a marked increase in capitate-stalked heads on bracts and sugar leaves from now through Week 6–7. • Carb sink strength. Flowers become the primary sink; steady water + balanced EC will keep turgor and bulking clean. ⸻ 💡 Light & Rhythm • Sunrise/sunset with reds (TrolMaster): 15 min before and after the white/blue block to smooth transitions and lean into the red/far-red synergy. • Target PPFD/DLI: With shorter photoperiods (11–12 h), aim ~700–800 µmol·m⁻²·s⁻¹ to land a DLI ~28–32 mol·m⁻²·day⁻¹—a sweet spot for mid-flower without forcing heat stress. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment (steady and sensible) • Temps/RH: Now stable since AC: ~28 °C and mid-60s %RH previously reported—great for mid-flower resin and growth when airflow is strong. • VPD: Around 1.3–1.4 kPa is ideal for Week 4 bulk—keeps stomata active, minimizes mold risk, and preserves turgor. • CO₂: Natural room swings are fine at this stage; plant responses are telling us she’s happy. ⸻ 👀 What to Expect Next (Week 5–6) • Calyx stacking & mass gain on the main cola and those side “golf balls.” • Frost explosion: More trichomes and a greasy feel on sugar leaves. • Aroma lift: Expect that classic White Widow earthy-spice to start pushing out. What not to expect • Height—she’s done stretching. • True ripening signals (amber heads, heavy fade) — too early. • Big defoliation needs, she’s compact; keep leaves that drive sugars unless a leaf blocks airflow or a bud site entirely. ⸻ Grower’s Tips (why the choices matter) • No Top Booster now: Keeps K spikes in check; prevents Ca/K antagonism and tip burn while the plant is setting long-term resin factories. • Keep Ca/Mg consistent: Under strong LEDs, Ca deficits appear suddenly in fast-bulking weeks. Stay ahead, not behind. • Watering style: Hand watering gives you feel-level control over moisture fronts and prevents swings—perfect for a compact, single-plant showcase. ⸻ 🙏 Gratitude & Shoutouts 🌱 Zamnesia Seeds — for the living legend, White Widow 💧 Aptus Holland — clean, precise fundamentals (Regulator, CalMag, All-in-One) 🌸 Plagron — Power Buds, Sugar Royal, Green Sensation driving flower expression 💡 ThinkGrow & Future of Grow (Black Series 600W) — power + uniformity for dense stacking 🧠 TrolMaster — the ecosystem that lets us choreograph sunrise/sunset and keep the room steady …and you, reading and riding along.

Second tallest plant in the room, shes been drinking every other day, lollipoped the base a bit this week and she is looking great! She's got roots sticking up over the the medium, so same comment about my big bud strain, I will be sure to have a tote with extra soil in it.

Drunken Bitch Slap is growing great under the Hortibloom Solux 350. She did a lot of stretching in last week. She is just starting to shoot pistils for the colas. Everything is looking really good, and ready for some flowers. I have done some selective defoliation is all the training I have done. Thank you Hortibloom, and Aeque Genetics. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Good week loads of growth, its getting as tall as I can handle so hopefully not too much more height. I have started the bloom nutes and stopped feeding grow but ill keep the root stim for a week or 2 more. I've been taking leaves gradually as they block out light but trying to keep plenty. It's drinking loads and looks nice an healthy flowers are coming in nicely can't wait to see some frost and the buds start to fatten. Happy smoking 🚬

Looks great, she's gaining nicely. But could take another 2 weeks before ready. Clones failed, they were already flowering, but was taking them off anyway I'm speculating her to be a 40gr-plant 🤞🤞🤞 Trichomes getting ready, too soon! Starting a few amber trichomes, still little amount, got some time, but will cut her soon, she's not the thickest 😞 could have been a lot worse though. Will have a few weeks extra to the stash 25/11 still mostly white overall

Info: Unfortunately, I had to find out that my account is used for fake pages in social media. I am only active here on growdiaries. I am not on facebook instagram twitter etc All accounts except this one are fake. Flowering day 50 since time change to 12/12 h. Hey guys :-) The lady is in her final phase :-). The buds swell more and more and smell more and more fruity. You can now see how the lady turns her leaves yellow and uses up her last nutrients. The next time it is poured, it is poured with GBL Clean Fruits and 10% drain. Then it is allowed to stand again for 12-14 days before it comes into the darkroom before the harvest 👍. As always, the tent was cleaned and everything was cleaned up. I wish you a lot of fun with the update and stay healthy 🙏🏻 You can buy this Nutrients at : https://greenbuzzliquids.com/en/shop/ With the discount code: Made_in_Germany you get a discount of 15% on all products from an order value of 100 euros.

Growing great. been adding calmag to the mix and she bounced back. Still a little yellow but the buds are growing nicely. Great trichome production To the touch it smells SO much like blueberries Im blown away and theres still more maturing to do! Excited to see how much more she fills out.

This plant is exploding with growth.. New buds and darker colours. Now started the flushing stage, 4500ppm was the water run off figures before flushing which explains the toxicity to nitrogen. It is now at a manageable 780ppm somewhat. Good grow so far! Mega strong smell

Oggi uno sguardo prima di una bella sessione di foto stiamo andando forte il ferti prima di cominciare un bel flush per far saltare fuori tutto il gusto e l' aroma che cerchiamo e che sappiamo può offrire.👻

Got better at week 8 end. Finally lots of trichomes, buds are gettin denser last couple days. Made a couple of pure water waterings between nutrition. Defoliated hard and seems like this is last time before harvest. Please share any thoughts/tips on better growing this baby👇 Peace🙏

Day 29- Increased Silica Gold dose by 1ml. Day 33- Defoliated some fans leaves that are blocking the new shoots. Day 34- Check out the shoots! Comparison- The 5gal plant that gets topped is doing much better than other two 5gal plants in LST!! Probably going to replenish the soil with aerated worm+microbe tea next week.

Wow 🤩 Die Kabul befindet sich in der vollen Stretchphase😏 Ihre Blütenbüschel sind auch schon ausgeprägter. Sie ist absolut anspruchslos und somit gut in der Pflege. Ihre Höhe beträgt jetzt 50 cm, was bis jetzt fast 100 % des stretches bedeutet 🤘🏻

These girls are impressive! There in 485ml pots (solos) and have grown to an impressive 24” the flowers are developing famously and can see fft7 has fades coming through on the leaves so expecting some flavours on her! She also has one main stem shorter than the other by a considerable amount! As for fft10-11 they both have great structure and have even tops and the flowers are developing with finesse! Loved all these testers can’t wait for the release so I know what strains they are!

Beginning of week 5. Very happy with what is happening, no problems whatsoever. Buds are fattening up. Northern light is like on steroids and will become one massive bud, gorillas and dance world look more sativa dominant. Tons of trichomes, very sticky. Baby autogorilla is still shy so I topped her :) for the rest of the plants in veg I will create another journal.

Kio familia, que ya actualizo. Jaja Al lío finalizamos la 3 semana de floracion, y esta genética también creció bastante se nota su tamaño xL. Aumentamos la cantidad de comida por litro, Al ser grandes piden más. La humedad no aumenta de 50% y la temperatura baja Algo en comparación al principio. 27 grados de media. En la imágenes y vídeos podemos apreciar bien la evolución esta semana.
