🌸 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.

Really impressed with this SCHLUX SZ-PT400 light. Done another round of LST really bringing th bud sites to the light. Also been tucking my bug fan leaves, don't believe in trimming autos. Captain Redbeard Seeds are really impressive at this point. Will be top dressing with Coast of Maine lobster compost, as well as worm castings and the OG bloom dust. Happy growing

8/17 - Fed the ladies with liquid nutrients today. Also did some selective defoliation. The soil looks really healthy. You can see how happy my worms are. The two are coming along nicely and just starting to bud. 8/19 - Top fed all the ladies today with Uprising Grow, Uprising Bloom, and Elemental. 8/21 - They are in bloom! They are beginning to flower and looking lovely. In between feedings I water with RO water and molasses. They seem to love it. 8/24 - Blooming along nicely! Watering just about every day now. Added some mulch to the tops that I made from the dried leaves I take during defoliation. Hoping to keep the tops a little more moist.

Didn’t expect the stretch to be so huge given the genetics. Like 10 cm in 3 days! Let’s see. Put in a dehumidifier, trying to reach optimal humidity of 60% for this stage. 02/01 The stretch is really strong. 75 cm by 02/01 04/01 I have been doing just minimal pruning/defoliation during the veg stage. I guess it was the reason why the stretch is so strong as the main colas try to reach the light. And there is a lot of weak side-shoots which make the plants really messy. Did some minor pruning today, because I don’t want to stress the plants much during early flowering. I’m going to remove all the side-shoots in two weeks when the stretch is over. Next time I should do more pruning early, before the flip.

09/06 - DAY 43 - Slight yellowing and spotting on a few of Mo’s older fan leaves, thinking Mag deficiency. Everyday more and more trichomes coming in. - Forcing Jane to open up by pulling her out. 09/08 - DAY 45 - Top dressed Mo w/ Worm Castings & Kashi Blend. Can see feeder roots everywhere under the cover, worms are active, and she’s sucking dry her reservoir every 1.5 days. - Lowered light to 500-560PPFD at canopy. Humidity ~58%. - Jane is starting to share her strawberry aromas. Mo smells like a sweet sugary treat 09/11 - DAY 48 - Switched over to only blooming/fruiting inoculants & top watered w/ compost tea. Hopefully get ahead of any deficiencies. - Mo is starting to drink 2 Gal in less than a day, along with the weekly top waterings. Thirsty girl 😃

Really sublime strain released the day of the harvest. Casually, means a lot for me… is still not test #2 but Sticky Broccoli. What e Epic Name. Please notice the long shape i’m a tall guy and take a look to me next this baby. There are loves that are destined to be brief but intense and loves that are destined to last forever. Sticky Broccoli is one of those things I have done that I will hardly forget in my life, when I am old and have superpowers for all the THC smoked, I will tell the story of these monsters. ATTENTION: I have divided the harvests of the two plants because they are widely documented by many photos so as to give you greater possibility of distinction. The other plant is entirely published in the week before the harvest. They were born in the ideal period, I told my boss also favored by the moon, in an ideal super tropical place comparable to California in terms of climate, they ate Plagron the best that the market can offer in terms of organic fertilization and they grew in a newly bought organic soil that was not recycled. The conditions were really all there but we still went beyond all expectations. From the first moment they stood out for being the fastest, voracious with a metabolism at full blast always thanks to the Plagron additives and these impressive genetics. We remember the excellent parents Sticky beast and Green Crack as heritage I would say not bad at all. I let them vegetate a bit too much or rather 4/5 weeks are not that much but while the others have remained almost normal plants these have broken through. I say broken through because the main cola of the tallest was pushing decisively on the roof of the 220 cm growbox. Truly animalistic the few friends who saw it have widened their eyes. A Wonder or rather two. The main cola is standing by miracle but it is very big and very full of very very resinous grass. This harvest of 23 plants all Zamnesia has proved surprising from many aspects, an exaggerated quantity of grass, autoflowering that have touched 100 grams and all above 50 always very little mold and probably because I too much hold of some paints. But the thing that literally amazed me, because unfortunately these days we have to be amazed by this too, ZERO HERMAPHRODITES. Let's think carefully about what we do guys when we plant, we never put seeds found in the grass and we plant seeds from breeders who work well. Zamnesia is distinguishing itself guys I'm here and I'll prove it to you if you have any questions or doubts please write to me for anything. Released to the public today 23/12/2024 remember this name: Sticky Broccoli, there is also an auto version like almost all Zamnesia strains and I promise you that it will become a masterpiece soon. Everyone will want a seed, I don't like to do Nostradamus, I recognize quality. Zamnesia Strain Description // Our breeders love to challenge themselves to develop cutting-edge varieties and Sticky Broccoli is a perfect example of their mastery. Combining high-yielding genetics like Sticky Beast with pungent Green Crack has resulted in a 90% indica strain that is extremely tasty and has 23% THC. Inside the grow room, the plants perform excellently. Growers will appreciate the high yields and the extraordinary beauty of the buds: fragrant, vibrant and glistening with resin. Smokers will be enchanted by the seductive aromas and intense effects that emerge almost instantly after the first toke. - Get a seed of this fantastic strain --- https://www.zamnesia.io/it/10818-zamnesia-seeds-sticky-broccoli.html The plant has eaten the 100% Organic feeding of Plagron: Alga Grow and Alga Bloom as basic nutrients, the rooting Power Roots, the amino acids of Sugar Royal, the Enzymes of Pure Zym that eat the dead parts in the soil, Power Buds that always gives us immense satisfaction with rapidity of start of flowering and composition of the buds, the legendary Green Sensation that now needs no introduction, a name a guarantee. The fertilizer kits that you can find on the Zamnesia website are perfect for this purpose, there is everything. Choose them based on their mineral/organic composition and the soil you have chosen. at the link --- https://www.zamnesia.io/it/11457-plagron-easy-pack-natural.html The quantity was measured using the sheet prepared on purpose on the Plagron website based on the soil chosen: Plagron Pro Mix + Perlite. at the link --- https://plagron.com/en Secret Jardin DF16 ventilation system and all the fans too make wind into at the link --- https://www.secretjardin.com/it/ The light was supplied by MarshHydro and the growbox too at the link --- https://www.mars-hydro.com A fantastic selection of seeds, a headshop and a selection of exceptional accessories on the world of cannabis, many other things about mushrooms, health, well-being and all the beautiful things that nature offers only on the Zamnesia website at the link --- https://www.zamnesia.com

7 weeks later and she's flowering nicely, not too much verticle growth but the buds are getting bigger every day. Stoked! Nothing new, might make another compost tea up this week. I'm giving them 1L of water every 2nd day, 500mL top feed and 500mL bottom feed. Until next week friends, thanks for checking in.

June 26, day 98, the Euforia is in it's final ripening phase, and will be harvested soon! I am dialing down the EC, although I do not do any major pre harvest flushes. June 28, day 100, emergency harvest time! I was going to push it another 3-5 days, but when I was examining my fattest cola I noticed the physical manifestation of my nightmares: early stage bud rot. I should have harvested days ago in hindsight, as days of rain pushed my RH up into the mid-high 60s. I only noticed it because I was bending bud tissue away from the stem, but there was clearly some white fluffy buildup around the base of a dead leaf stem. The good news is that I caught it very early, no bud tissue has died anywhere on the plant and what mold I could find was still white and fluffy. I had to immediately cut down the whole plant as a result. I cut away bud material around the few moldy spots, and put the rest of the buds from those colas into my pile for edibles/oils. 95 percent of the colas seem totally unaffected. Nevertheless, I have had to totally switch up my dry/cure technique by doing a wet trim of the large buds and a quick dry/cure to start to make sure no spores can spread elsewhere. My priority is really saving what has been accomplished so far. The good news is that early wet weights are very heavy, even with the bit of bud removal. 600g wet for the top colas, another 350g wet for the mid grade buds, and finally 1000g for the low grade buds left of stems for slower drying. This means I will hopefully end up with 200g+ dry bud for vaping and smoking, and much more for edibles, rosin, etc. I will have more details next week with the full harvest update!
