Visto que ya estamos a mediados de agosto y pareceria que quieren empezar a florecer voy a empezar esta semana con el bloom. Mitad bloom mitad grow 51d nuevo tratamiento preventivo con TD + Solabiol, Foliar. Una vez el tratamiento para evitar que las lluvias limpien la planta suelo ponerlas bajo techo. En cuanto deja de llover las vuelvo a sacar. dia 54 126ctms la nº1 y 102 la nº4 y una clara evidencia que ahora empieza lo bueno. Como puede observarse han ensanchado las ramas , han crecido notablemente y empiezan a mostrar claramente sus primeros pistilos.

I made some extract and then made some gummies I’ve added the outcome in all running diaries She’s doing amazingly although I’d like her to be a little taller in that corner, hopefully during transition she shoots up to canopy level but all in all no complaints! I’ve turned them to 12-12 yesterday so awaiting bloom to activate! I’m using bud blood on this girl and all the other back row plants and bud ignitor on my front row plants to see what has the best outcome to start bloom!

"Chugging" along this week. Weather is hot, girls are loving the all time drip system. Forgot that my nutes and hot sun dont mix well and created a bad case of algae. Will monitor more often and maybe increase the drip flow

Ernte ist ziemlich nah, werde die Ernte in 3 aufteilen, damit der mittlere und untere Part nachreifen kann… Da ich die RH nicht wirklich runter bekomme und kein Schimmel riskieren will werde ich mit hoher wahrscheinlich das obere Drittel morgen ernten und direkt zum Trocknen aufhängen… Time will tell

Still not flowering but she’s gaining height , by the end of next week if no signs of flowering I will accept that she is a photo plant . I am more confident she is a female 🤞🏽. Finding this seed has got me well into it now. Thanks to all you guys , you have given me plenty of info ,have got another two plants started which I will start a journal for soon . Feel like I’m a member of this great community now , one way to keep busy at these trying times . Happy growing everyone 💪🏽👍🏽

✨ Week 6 in bloom and our White Widow is pure poetry in motion — compact, dark, and sparkling with trichomes under her 11/13 light dance. She’s living proof that beauty and strength can thrive even under a 12-12 from seed rhythm. Join the journey, feel the energy, and come see her story unfold in 4K on YouTube. 🎥💚 🌿 White Widow – Week 6 Flower Lighting: 11/13 Shuttle (12-12 from Seed) Strain: White Widow by Zamnesia Grow Style: Living Super Soil + Aptus x Plagron Recipe Series: Ongoing on YouTube (in 4K 🎥) ⸻ 🌸 The Queen in Her Prime Our White Widow is officially in full bloom — Week 6 Flower, and she’s breathtaking. Compact, dark, resinous, and powerful — a perfect example of what’s possible when we trust the process. Her leaves are deep green, her buds are tight and frosty, and her structure shows the elegance of genetics and discipline combined. Despite being a 12/12 (11/13) from seed grow, she’s performing like a true photoperiod queen. Every detail on her — from the sugar-coated fan leaves to the symmetry of her bud sites — tells a story of health and balance. ⸻ 💡 The Emerson Effect — Science Meets Soul This week we’re diving deep into one of the coolest aspects of this grow: The Emerson Effect 🌞 Every morning, the red spectrum (around 660 nm) turns on 15 minutes before the main lights. Every evening, it stays on 15 minutes longer than the rest. Why? Because we’re mimicking nature — sunrise and sunset — and activating one of the most fascinating plant processes ever discovered. 🌱 What It Does The Emerson Effect is the enhanced rate of photosynthesis that occurs when red and far-red light (around 730 nm) are present together. In simple terms: red light excites one photosystem, far-red excites the other, and when both are active, the plant runs its photosynthesis engine at maximum efficiency. ⚗️ The Results • Faster and smoother metabolic transitions • Reduced light stress during on/off cycles • Increased photosynthetic efficiency • Denser, more resinous buds • Slightly faster maturity under 11/13 schedules We’re not just flipping lights — we’re syncing biology with physics. 🌞🌙 ⸻ ⚙️ Technical Deep Dive: Emerson Effect + 11/13 Light Shuttle For the enthusiasts — when using 11 hours of light and 13 of dark, you simulate tropical photoperiods where cannabis evolved naturally. This encourages faster flower initiation and more compact plant structure. By extending the far-red light 15 minutes on both sides of the cycle, we’re signaling the plant that the sun is just beyond the horizon. It’s like whispering: “Keep going a little longer, but rest well.” This combination strengthens the balance between flower hormone production (phytochrome response) and photosynthetic drive, leading to better overall bud development. Science + intuition = success. 🌿 ⸻ 💧 Feeding & Nutrition This week’s feeding schedule continues the successful Aptus x Plagron symbiosis. From Plagron: 🌸 Power Buds – flower development booster 🍯 Sugar Royal – enhancing aroma, oil, and terpene profile 💎 Green Sensation – late-phase bulking and resin enhancer From Aptus: 🌿 All-in-One Liquid – full-spectrum nutrition 💧 CalMag Boost – mineral support and stability ⚖️ Regulator – nutrient balance and plant stress protection Even with the soil’s natural nutrient reserve (NPK still holding around 5.75), we’re gently pushing — testing how much she can handle under this 12/12 rhythm. She’s loving it: no burn, no droop, no stress — just pure growth. ⸻ 🌡️ Environmental Conditions Even with 45°C (110°F) heat outdoors, the grow room remains stable and healthy thanks to proper airflow and control. 📊 Environment Stats: 🌡️ Temperature: 28–30°C 💧 Humidity: 55–60% ☁️ CO₂: 450–800 ppm (natural fluctuation) 📈 VPD: ~1.3–1.8 kPa This is near-perfect for mid-flower — warm enough to boost metabolism, yet steady enough to maintain trichome production. ⸻ 📸 Photos & Videos This week’s gallery includes: 📷 Detailed studio shots of her canopy and buds 🎥 Clips showing her daily environment 🌿 A moment of me sharing medicine with her — part of our daily ritual of connection and gratitude Screenshots from TrolMaster TM+ app, showing the red-light pre-dawn and sunset cycles Every frame captures her strength and personality. No micro lens this time, but the natural look says it all — she’s glowing. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect Next Expect: ✨ Buds bulking and trichomes stacking heavily 🌬️ Aroma deepening and resin turning more opaque 🌿 Leaf color possibly darkening further Not to Expect: 🌱 Any major new growth — stretch phase is over 🍂 Fade just yet — that will come closer to flush She’s now in the consolidation phase: weight, flavor, and resin. ⸻ 🌱 Quick Recap • Germination: After early setbacks, she became the solo survivor — and a star. • Veg: Compact and steady. • Transition: Adapted perfectly to 11/13 shuttle. • Early Flower: Tight nodes, dense frost. • Now: Week 6 — full bloom, full potential. ⸻ 🙏 Gratitude & Shoutouts 💚 Zamnesia – for the legendary genetics that started it all. 💧 Aptus – for consistent balance and vitality. 🌸 Plagron – for the boosters that bring color and resin to life. ⚙️ TrolMaster & ThinkGrow – for giving precision and control. 🌍 And most of all — to you, the readers, growers, friends, lovers, haters, and believers — thank you. This community keeps the passion alive. ⸻ 🎥 Watch in 4K on YouTube 🌿 The full White Widow 12/12 from Seed Series is live in 4K resolution on YouTube.

Creo que tengo algo de baile con las fechas. Más o menos ronda los 2 meses actualmente 18 de junio. Han salido 2 colas principales y luego ramas bajeras extendidas por la maceta I think I'm a bit off with the dates. It's roughly around two months old, currently June 18th. Two main colas have emerged, followed by lower branches spreading throughout the pot.

Hey there, fellow plant enthusiasts! Welcome back to another exciting update on my P.C.R. journey. We're now into the second week of veg, and let me tell you, things are really starting to take off! These little beauties are soaking up the Aptus Holland veg mix like it's their own personal feast. The growth is phenomenal, and I couldn't be happier with how they're thriving. It's like they've hit their stride, and there's no stopping them now! Let's talk numbers for a moment. My TDS is sitting comfortably at 420, ensuring the plants are getting just the right concentration of nutrients for optimal growth. The solution temperature is a cozy 21 degrees, creating the perfect environment for nutrient uptake. And of course, the pH is a stable 5.9, maintaining that sweet spot for nutrient absorption. Feeding these plants is an absolute joy, especially with the Aptus Holland veg mix. It's like giving them a gourmet meal tailored to their exact needs. I can see the difference it's making in their lush, green foliage and sturdy stems. Every day, I'm amazed by the progress these plants are making. It's like watching a masterpiece unfold before my eyes—a true testament to the power of nature and the wonders of cultivation. A huge shoutout to Art Genetix for providing these phenomenal P.C.R. genetics that continue to impress me with their vigor and resilience. Your dedication to crafting exceptional strains is truly commendable! I also want to express my gratitude to Grow Diaries for being a platform where I can document and share my journey with fellow growers. Your community support and feedback have been invaluable in shaping my cultivation practices. And to the entire community of plant enthusiasts out there—whether you're a seasoned grower or just starting out—thank you for your ongoing support, inspiration, and camaraderie. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue this green journey together. And as always, a heartfelt thank you to Aptus Holland for providing the nutrients that make it all possible. Here's to another week of growth, discovery, and endless possibilities!

Hey everyone, my ladies are still too yellow for me. But they don't seem to mind. They all stick and smell like hell but "Iris" hardly has buds larger than my thumbnail. I really like all the others. I have no idea how long. But think 2-3 weeks. ...and I now manage to keep my RH in the tent easily lower than in the space around it. Yihaaaa Nice weekend @all
