Past 2 weeks shes developed dense boulder shaped nugs that run all through out the plant. Today was first day of flush so 5 days ish I'll be harvesting this beauty. Perfect timing for the greenhouse seed company competition that I've surprisingly been giving the opportunity. Happy growing.

🌸 End of Flowering Week 7 (D43–D49) → Entering Week 8 (D50) | Project WF We’ve officially closed Flowering Week 7 (Day 43 to Day 49) and are now entering Week 8 (Day 50) — the final and most critical stage where real quality and cleanliness are defined. This week was focused on root zone correction, EC reduction and preparing the plants for a clean and controlled finish, without forcing maturity or stressing the crop. 🌡️ Environmental Parameters (Week 7 avg) • Day temperature: 22–23.5 °C • Night temperature: 18–19 °C • Relative Humidity: 48–52 % • VPD: 1.30–1.45 kPa • PPFD: ~830–850 µmol/m²/s • CO₂: Ambient (~550–630 ppm) Stable conditions all week to keep metabolism active while avoiding unnecessary stress during late flowering. 💧 Irrigation & Feeding – Week 7 (Detailed) 📅 25/01 – Day 46 Total volume: 30 L (hand watered, stopping when plants drained) Recipe: • Sensi Cal-Mag Xtra → 15 ml • Bio·Grow → 3 ml • Bio·Bloom → 120 ml • Top·Max → 24 ml • Bio·Heaven → 24 ml • Bud Candy → 36 ml • Atazyme → 30 ml Input values: • EC: ~0.98 mS • pH: 6.2 This irrigation initiated nutrient reduction and confirmed uneven salt accumulation between pots. 📅 29/01 – Day 49 Total volume: 50 L (high-volume strategic irrigation) Recipe: • Bio·Bloom → 200 ml (4 ml/L) • Top·Max → 50 ml (1 ml/L) • Bio·Heaven → 50 ml (1 ml/L) • Bud Candy → 50 ml (1 ml/L) • Sensi Cal-Mag Xtra → 15 ml (0.3 ml/L) • Atazyme → 40 ml (0.8 ml/L) Input values: • EC: ~0.78 mS • pH: 6.2 Drain EC readings (by pot): • Range: 2.1 – 5.6 mS • Confirmed salt accumulation now actively being released. This irrigation was a pre-cleaning step, not a final flush, keeping roots active while opening the substrate. 📊 Week 7 Irrigation Summary • Total water applied: ~80 L • Average: ~11.4 L / 24h (including strategic high-volume irrigation) 🌿 Plant Status – End of Week 7 • Controlled senescence has started naturally. • Strong anthocyanin expression (genetics + environment). • Buds still finishing density, not rushed. • Trichomes shifting from clear → cloudy, amber still minimal. • No signs of acute stress, lockout or stalled metabolism. 🎯 Week 8 Objectives (From Day 50) Week 8 is about precision, not force. • Final nutrient closure initiated. • Progressive root zone cleaning strategy: • Pre-flush irrigation • Single controlled Final Flush • Water-only irrigation • Dry-back before harvest • Maintain stable PPFD and VPD to preserve terpenes and resin quality. • Focus shifts from yield to clean finish, flavor and combustion quality. This is the phase where premium crops are truly defined. More final-stage data, close-ups and detailed content coming soon on Instagram. Open to collaborations and data-driven partnerships with brands focused on precision growing and premium results. 📸 @waffleterps

Amazing stretch last week, but it’s still not enough. After day 36 defoliation, the plant has started putting many energies on branch development. As a result, in the night between day 36 and 37 she created many pistils and increased leaves number on every branch. It’s interesting how main branches have fattened up on cropped points. As you can see on the photos, some of them are huge! Day 36: made some defoliation because lower branches were covered by leaves! Light penetration is now optimal. Day 38: another huge cropping on every branch I could find, even on lower ones. EVERY SINGLE BRANCH, snapped!

Day 100 - Harvest time! Will hang her completely upside down. RH=58% and 23ºC at almost midday. Hanging them in my bathroom Day 105 - Drying finished today! Was faster then i expected but im mid summer so its hard to maintain proper drying temperatures Im SUPER happy with this diary, @Fast_Buds and the Grow Diaries Team! This website has helped my improve my growing skills in a way i couldn´t imagine. Having a clear, imaged, reported diary where you write everything you do, really helps you understand your mistakes and see where you could have donw better comparing to how others did! Also another big thank you to the GD Team for having me tied 3rd at the FastBuds 2023 Outdoor Grow Contest and to the very kind @Fast_Buds Team 🙌 Keep on Growing!!

It’s week 5 of flowering, and things are looking fantastic! The adjusted nutrients for the coco substrate have clearly made a difference, as both plants are thriving and continue to develop thick layers of trichomes. ✨ Interestingly, the non-LST plant is starting to show some unique color variations, which is surprising given that both are from the same strain. This unexpected twist adds a bit of excitement, and I’m curious to see how it will develop over the next few weeks. When it comes to scent, the differences are striking! The LST variant has a bold and distinct Lemon Haze aroma—zesty and citrusy 🍋💨 while the non-LST plant gives off a fruity-sweet smell that’s incredibly rich and inviting. 🍓🍭 Unfortunately, my camera broke this week, and now I’m dealing with some low-quality pictures. 📷😔 While it’s frustrating not to capture the plants in their full glory, I’ll do my best to document their progress as clearly as possible. Overall, both plants are doing great, and I’m looking forward to seeing how they turn out in the final stretch! 💚

The ladies really didn’t have too much change this week except girl #2 seems like she’s caught up in height to girl #1. I have to make a correction to from week 3. I stated I topped the girls when i actually did some light FIMing.I wanted to be sure i corrected that mistake before my diary process any further. I kind of went a little too heavy on the feeding and the girls showed some slight yellowing and a 1 leaf started to Slightly curl into a taco. Nothing too serious but I definitely will be dialing back on the feeding doses. decided to do some defoliation To the fan leafs that were significantly blocking light from future bud sites. I’m not sure how these girls will take to me cutting off foliage. Only time will tell. These girl are starting to put off Some stank. The smell it’s very strong but you can get a sense of what’s to come. It smells of gassy sweet pineapple citrus. Have to admit I was skeptical until I did a stem rub and these girls were spot on. When rubbing the stem they smell so much more sweeter almost like a candy sweet smell. really appreciate all who have viewed my diary. I’m actually shocked how people viewed it so far. Thank you very much for the love 💚. I’m grateful and humbled for your support. Hopefully these girls start to go into the pre flowering stage in the next week, I’m over excited to see them develop. Again thank you all for your support and comments and suggestions are welcomed💚

this week I was a lil happy because I pollinate my C4matic with a Male pink kush the feminizing spray tiresias mist didn't work the way I thought it would. thank God I had a Male coming up in my outdoor garden...I can already see seeds a little more than I expected, for some reason I only wanted to pollinate 1 bud but got seeds on the main and a few lower buds still happy for that will update images .

24-8-2019 Something new i am trying out with this strain now that I have a Media History. White Widow in a Aeroponic Deep Water Culture environment. we will see firsthand what media does it best with less effort, Container is filled with 5-6 gallons of Nutrient Solution to be changed once every second week. Already cut my RO flow by half with less trips to the faucet i have more time for my girl. Enjoy the grow Bud Tenders.👌😎 It must be noted that this White Widow was kept in a low T5 environment for a period of 11 weeks or so. So no pics of the early days lol.💪

16.2.25: I decided to check out the lower canopies of all plants to see if I need to get rid of any foliage. I did get rid of a few small branches and leaves. However, whilst I was doing this, I saw more garden pegs from my LST remaining. There were about 6 or more in Pink Mist alone. Additionally, on Watermelon, there were some left in, too. I'm so annoyed to see that because the plants are really stretching, and I could've potentially disrupted this by leaving the pegs in for all this time without realising it. 🤞 that I haven't compromised things too much. We'll see. I watered today with 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 containing the following nutrients; ♡ .8g Green Leaf Nutrients PK booster ♡ .5g Ecothrive Biosys I ordered quite a few things for the garden. I got Greenleaf Nutrients Sea K(elp) and Mega Crop Parts A+B. To go with their PK Booster I got last month. I'm excited to try it all together. Next run, maybe just using these. We'll see how it goes. 18.2.25: The plants are going crazy for water! Everything is getting used right up so fast! Today, I decided to add some more Black Strap Molasses to add some carbs and other micronutrients. I'll add the jar with the label in the photos section above. I watered a very small amount to each plant. What I put in: ♡ Black strap molasses 150g ♡ 2g Sea K(elp) Greenleaf nutrients. I dissolved everything in 4ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4. 19.2.25: I received the majority of the garden purchases that I made. I'm still waiting for the Ecothrive Life Cycle. I wanted to top dress, but it's been delayed unfortunately. I am using my Greenleaf nutrients products which I bought on Amazon. I got the Mega Crop 2 part system Part A and Part B. I have the Sea K(elp), and the bud explosion PK booster. I really wanted to get some of their sweet candy asking read many positive reviews. Unfortunately, for me, this is unavailable to buy currently. So that's a little disappointing. I needed to do a good watering so when my nutes were delivered today, I got excited 🤗 I watered 2ltrs of dechlorinated water per plant, PH'd to 6.4, containing the following nutrients: ♡ 1g Mega Crop Part A ♡ 1g Mega Crop Part B ♡ .5g Sea K(elp). The plants drank this up within a few hours. I'm going to try and hold off on watering in hopes that my Ecothrive Life Cycle will arrive so I can top dress and water it in then. 20.2.25: My Ecothrive Life Cycle arrived yesterday, and the plants are ready for their top dress and a good watering in. I have some Biobizz Light Mix, Canna Coco,and perlite. I'm going to use this as a base to mix my amendments in. I'm going to fill my 5 gallon bucket with about 4.5 gallons of my top dress mix. I will distribute this across 6, 4-5 gallon pots. Then I will water in well with Greenleaf nutrients Mega Crop Parts A+B and Sea K(elp). I've made a crude attempt to video mixing my top dress. Don't listen to the audio. lol, my YouTube didn't stop playing whilst I recorded this 😂 So anyway, I added the following amendments to the above base mix of 4.5 gallons; ♡ 3 TBSP Ecothrive Life Cycle ♡ 3 TBSP Vitalink Bat Guano ♡ 3 TBSP Ecothrive Charge ♡ 1 TBSP RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules ♡ 6 TBSP Ground Cinnamon.

Week 4 of the flowering phase has arrived, and last week flew by 🌬️🌱. The ladies are thriving, and the buds are now clearly visible! ✨ The flowers are starting to turn darker, which is an exciting sign 🍒. The first trichomes are already forming, hinting at a very potent strain 💎🔥. While the cherry aroma hasn’t come through yet, removing some leaves revealed an intense, waxy scent – very intriguing! 🌿👃 I’ll keep you updated with daily posts. Drop a like and stay tuned to see how the ladies develop 🌺📸. See you next week! Woche 4 der Blütephase ist da, und die letzte Woche ist wirklich wie im Flug vergangen 🌬️🌱. Die Ladies haben sich prächtig entwickelt, und jetzt kann man die Buds schon richtig gut erkennen! ✨ Die Blüten beginnen langsam, sich dunkel zu verfärben – ein vielversprechendes Zeichen 🍒. Auch die ersten Trichome sind schon sichtbar, was definitiv auf einen sehr potenten Strain hindeutet 💎🔥. Das Kirscharoma ist zwar noch nicht zu erkennen, aber beim Entfernen der Blätter wurde ein intensiver, wachsähnlicher Duft wahrgenommen – super spannend! 🌿👃 Ich halte euch weiterhin mit täglichen Updates auf dem Laufenden. Lasst ein Like da und bleibt dran, um zu sehen, wie sich die Mädels entwickeln 🌺📸. Bis nächste Woche!

Tag 53: Jede Menge entlaubt habe ich die Fat Banana heute. Ihr fehlt es noch etwas an Höhe und Form. Das will ich die kommenden Woche in Angriff nehmen. Und dann schicke ich sie nächstes Wochenende in die Blüte 😊 So jedenfalls mein Plan 😜

==> Decreased the base nutrients for less Nitrogen She is doing great! Smelling stronger than last week :D Calyxes swelling nicely :) Starting to get some color already :D The nice smells of watermelon candy and sour weed are slowly intensifying and the macro pictures surprised me! I can't wait till she is ready :D
