She is barely growing taller, which is probably fine, as she's mostly supposed to focus on blossoms by now. We're still feeding according to the full biobizz schedule, even though I am reading more and more often, that we might need to give a lot less.. but at least it doesn't seem to do any harm, so at least for this grow we just keep on following the plan. I am a little bit worried, that the buds are growing to close to each other. Also put the dehumidifier in the room, to keep humidity under control. Update: After getting feedback to our question regarding space between buds, we tried our best to gently bend some branches more towards the sides, as can be seen on the latest pictures I added. Still really dense in some spots, but partially also becauae of thw tight node spacing. We will maybe remove some leaves in these areas, but we do not want to stress her too much at this point.

🌱 White Widow – Week 3 | Structure, Strength & Setup Genetics: White Widow (Zamnesia Seeds) Light Schedule: 11/13 (Flower From Seed) Stage: Week 3 – Preflower (no signs yet) Structure: Compact, Healthy | Heading into 4th Node Feeding: Aptus Full Recipe Lighting: ThinkGrow Model One Bars + Future of Grow Black Series 600W Control: Full TrolMaster Ecosystem ⸻ Three Weeks In – Compact & Confident Here we are, Week 3, and White Widow is showing us her best early form. She’s: • Tight in internodal spacing • Vibrant in color and leaf health • Low & strong, with no stretching yet • Just pushing into her fourth node and still no signs of flowering, exactly what we’d hope in this phase, given our light cycle She’s not rushing—she’s setting her foundation. In an 11/13 light cycle, some might expect earlier preflower signs, but not all strains respond immediately. And honestly? I’m loving this slower, more intentional rhythm. She’s taking her time, and that usually means she’ll stack smart, not wild. ⸻ 💧 Feeding Routine – Gentle, Consistent Support Even though she’s rooted in a rich super soil blend, we’re continuing to assist her via the feed water with a light, targeted Aptus mix: Current Feed Recipe: • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml/L • CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml/L • All-in-One Liquid – 1 ml/L • Start Booster – 0.25 ml/L This isn’t about force-feeding, this is about helping the soil activate and harmonize, giving her what she needs before she starts asking for more. The mix keeps her cell structure strong, supports microbial life, and encourages consistent early root development. She’s loving it and it shows. ⸻ 💡 The Environment – Light & Movement This week, she’s been bouncing between two active grow zones, as we continue to refine the entire setup. It’s all managed within the TrolMaster ecosystem, offering precision control over both lighting and environment. She’s currently rotating between: • ThinkGrow Model One Bars – soft, powerful full-spectrum LED bars with excellent canopy penetration • Future of Grow Black Series 600W – full spectrum, deep reds for flowering intensity Both are synced and monitored through TrolMaster, giving us: • Consistent PPFD targets (250–400 µmol/m²/s for now) • Environmental tracking for temp, RH, and VPD • Freedom to adapt space as needed while the grow evolves 🎛️ Why this setup? Because we’re still dialing in the room and flexibility is everything. She’s adjusting beautifully to these shifts, showing no signs of stress. A real soldier. ⸻ 👀 What to Expect / What Not to Expect Expect: • More node development, maintaining compact shape • Flower pre-signs within the next 7–10 days • Slow, deliberate shift toward stretch (if she chooses to stretch at all) • Stronger feeding signals as roots fully colonize the pot Not to Expect (just yet): • Pistils or heavy flower behavior • Wild vertical growth • Deficiency signs (thanks to our balance and microbial boost) She’s exactly where she needs to be. ⸻ 🤝 Gratitude & Shoutouts Huge thanks to the partners helping this journey become a reality: 🌱 Zamnesia Seeds – for delivering timeless classics like White Widow and keeping the legacy alive 🔧 Aptus Holland – for the precision nutrients that support both living soil and direct feeding 💡 ThinkGrow – for elegant, pro-level light bar systems that keep our canopy even and calm 🚀 Future of Grow – for the Black Series 600W, bringing serious intensity and bloom readiness 🧠 TrolMaster – for letting us control every detail, from light to leaf, with precision and peace of mind ⸻ 💚 Final Thoughts – Week 3 This White Widow is more than just a plant, she’s a rebirth after a rough start, a solo performance, and now she’s writing her own pace into this grow. No rush. No shortcuts. Just care, balance, and a slow, steady climb toward bloom. We’re watching closely, learning daily, and adjusting with love. Thank you for walking this path with us.

Unfortunately I can't post as many pictures this week because I'm on vacation. Of course the ladies will still be well taken care of. 💚💚💚

En la 6ta semana de vegetación hicimos una poda de bajos y desfoliación en general para potenciar el crecimiento de los brotes superiores, mejorando la iluminación y ventilación en el cultivo. También hicimos unos cuantos amarres (lst).

I found this strain very easy to grow and responded very well given the hot/humid weather we have here on the island. This strain held up very well to pest and mold/mildew

13hrs 33 mins daylight as of 8/27 when I took these pics and video Euphoria is doing just fine, as I say in the video and repeat myself several times with other phrases, so I apologize but I honestly couldn't think of much else to say. I may have had issues with Euphoria early on, but it seemed like once I got her in the ground she just flourished and has been drama-free since (knock on wood). She's just doing fantastic🙌 Otherwise, the days are cooling off, the relentless humidity we've had for the past few weeks is moving out and I am very much looking forward to September. Those cool crisp nights, the colors starting to change, the flowers plumping up with crystalline trichomes and the smell... Oh the smell! I do love harvest season!

The little one has put the turbo on. After a perfect germination, the vegetative phase has begun: the first few days are always a mix of excitement and attention to detail. The real leaves have peeked out, nice and wide and of a healthy green that gives hope for what is to come. It is adapting well to the Light Mix, and the initial combination of Dynamyco + Extreme Garden Root is proving, as always, a winning choice. I am keeping the nutrition light, watering with distilled water and Cellmax Rootbooster, so as to encourage a robust root system before moving on to the full regime. The humidity and temperatures are under control, the box is stable and ready to welcome the green explosion that awaits us. Eyes open and hands light. The road is long but the direction is the right one 🚀

she is doing really well. the buds are getting thicker and the smell is also getting a bit more intense. unfortunately it rained a lot last week and the humidity was very high. i hope that no mould has formed in the budss. the next week will be really sunny and she should still enjoy it. and i think i will harvest her in a week's time.

Day 73, 25th of November 2020: Actually Purple not red lol. Colour nicely appeared. It is crazy saw some diaries some people does not have this colour on her for me the purple/red colour does not come on Red Mandarine and Tropicanna Poison yet. I also planted 2 Kalini Asia one normal one bonsai and the bonsai is getting purple but the normal one not yet. Strange. She is beautiful lady and let's just wait till the end to be done haha Fertilization is still the same every second day with the rationand mixture above stated. The lamp is on 11.15 min and off 12.45 min. Last week was 15 min longer light cycle.... So every week 15 min shorter light cycle until the 5th week. So far -45 min. It switches on at 6 am and off at 17.15 pm.

Hi Growmies, So far she is doing what she is supposed to. She popped her head out within two days and since then she has been growing nicely. I have switched on a little fan to make sure she gets sturdy enough. I have also transplanted her into her final net pot and nested her in a bed of Speedgrow green mini cubes and soaked her for 15 min in a 500 ppm ph balanced RO water. I would love to upload some videos, however this seems to be getting increasingly challenging on this website. Here is the code that’ll give you 20% in Zamnesia‘s online store, just input ZAMMIGD2023 at checkout.

This weeks been great besides the heat 😬 had some good cooler days that allowed me to really cool down the tent and get a good vpd reading at night. I’ve been trying to hold the humidity roughly round 35, 40% but it’s hard in this dry heat. Been learning to balance temperature and humidity for the best vpd reading. The og kush is showing some yellowing of the tips of the leafs. I’m thinking it’s from the heat. I am like the signs of purple in the one og kush plant. Crazy how they are 2 same og kush seeds and they are both growing similar and different at the same time haha! I love seeing the recovery of the tops and the reward for all the work put into veg! Gonna keep going strong the next 4 weeks! Been doing about 6.20 6.10 for ph. Also keeping the water cooler to keep them roots cool! Great week headed into week 4 after week 4 no more big bud on nutrients. Super excited 🔥 also wanna talk about how well all these strains are growing! Super proud the pineapple chunk is doing great the 2nd plant in the back is a bit shorter but she’s growing strong many tops! And doing well in flowering a little burnt tips on the fan leaves but nothing major! Happy growing yallll!!

These clones were mixed up & are either Orange sherbet or Tropicana cookies or they could be both! Unfortunately from experience growing them before they are very hard to tell apart untill late flowering. Originally grown in DWC ,all 3 got root rot at one stage Due to extremely high temps around 35°c. Had them in a 4x8 tent, running a 6 Inch adjustable speed exhaust fan which couldn't get temps lower than 33°c in our summer heat of 40°c days & nights! Moved back into 4x4, fan works good in this size tent reduces temps 28° to 31° max. Had to cut out rotten roots on back 2 plants & put them back into veg for 2 weeks until they came good, I also took them out of DWC & put them into recirculating hydro & put back into flower. Since then they have really taken off & are very healthy & lush. The 3rd plant at the front is 4 weeks into flower this one also got root rot at a different time, but I left this one in flower. I trimmed the root rot out & have had some issues with her, I also changed her from DWC to recirculating hydro as it's more forgiving in the heat & it's how I've always grown until recently doing DWC without problems in the past. All the bigger shade leaves have turned yellow, not sure if it's still something to do with root rot or a deficiency of some sort. Just trying to get this one over the line at this point 🤞🙏 increased light wattage from 480 to 730watts running 2 viper spectra lights (250watt) inside my Mars Hydro FC-E 4800.

Week 7 is going smoothly so far. The flooding issue has subsided and the clones seem to be really taking off now. I'm excited to get back from vacation and really see my girls and my reservoir conditions after a 2 week hiatus.

Picture 1 and second video: 20th and 21st November Plant is looking really healthy so far and can take a decent amount of Water and Nutrients. Also the first Pistols are showing up! pictures and video (3-5): 25th November Plant made a good stretch and reached a height of 145cm. Looking like a bonsai tree right now. Gave her 10l with a 2.3EC on the 24th and she is looking very healthy! I’m looking to thin her up a bit at thursday (day 21) to get some light penetration. I will also do some lollipopping to get this plant to its full potential. pictures and video (6-9) 28th November Gave her a really aggressive cut/lollipopping and deployed the scrog net… also did a little lst to get an even canopy. The plant was quite big before and I was a little scared that she will stretch too much…. But we will see 😜🤟🏻 See ya next week

This strain spreads and I love it...bud sites on all her branches which should be a good harvest in her new location where the sunlight is all day.
