White Widow – Week 6 | Second Big Flower, Buds Forming 🌸🌿 Light Schedule: 12/12 from seed Room Temp: ~28°C (stabilized with AC) Humidity: ~66% VPD: ~1.33 kPa CO₂: 450–800 ppm Watering: Hand watering Soil Content EC: ~2.96 ⸻ From Hairs to Buds This week marks a real turning point. Our White Widow is moving past simple hairs, now we can clearly see the beginnings of tiny buds forming. It’s the second big flower stage in her journey, and the structure is starting to express the true White Widow personality: compact, resinous, and promising. I took her out of the tent for another photoshoot, capturing her in detail with the Sony A6000. Close-ups show her leaves, structure, and those first clustered flowers. I also filmed short videos, including one where I share how I talk with my plants daily. For me, it’s not optional — it’s part of a symbiotic relationship. Plants respond to energy and care, and I believe everyone should try it. 🌱💭 ⸻ Light Strategy – Emerson Effect Simulation A special note this week: I recorded a screen video from the TrolMaster TM+ app to show how the lights are scheduled. 🌅 Wake-up: The reds switch on 15 minutes before the whites and blues. 🌇 Wind-down: At night, the reds also stay on 15 minutes longer than the other spectrums. This is designed to simulate sunrise and sunset while taking advantage of the Emerson Effect, a synergistic boost in photosynthesis efficiency when far-red and red light are combined with other wavelengths. The result? Plants wake up and settle down more naturally, with smoother light transitions, reduced stress, and potentially increased energy capture. It’s a small tweak, but it reflects how every detail of this environment is tuned with intention. ⸻ Environmental Changes This week, a big addition: the AC unit. Before, the room was running hot at 31–32°C and more, but now it’s stable at 28°C (occasionally 29°C). Combined with ~66% RH, this gives a steady VPD of 1.33, right in a comfortable zone for flower. CO₂ naturally fluctuates between 450–800 ppm, and the plants are thriving in these conditions. Even during the hotter weeks, they adapted beautifully, proof of the resilience of both the genetics and the environment we’ve been building. ⸻ Feeding & New Recipe Until now, she’s been on the Aptus base recipe: • Regulator – 0.15 ml/L • CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml/L This week, I introduced a Plagron trio to push flower development: • Power Buds – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Green Sensation – 1 ml/L Why now? Because she’s transitioned from stretch to actual bud formation. Power Buds helps with compact flowering sites, Sugar Royal enhances metabolism and energy (especially under high light), and Green Sensation supports resin and bud swelling later on. Together with Aptus, it’s a blend of precision and experimentation, trusting experience, intuition, and past results. ⸻ 12/12 From Seed – A Quick Recap This run is about exploration: • Started from seeds, with early germination struggles (mistakes included, lessons learned). • This White Widow is the sole survivor of those early days. • Straight into 12/12 from seed, she grew compact and resilient, surprising us by taking her time to flower despite the cycle. • Now, at Week 6, we see her first true buds. She’s not the tallest, but she’s beautiful, living proof of how genetics + environment + patience = results. ⸻ Looking Ahead What to expect: • Buds thickening and clustering. • Stronger aroma starting to emerge. • More demand on nutrition as flowering sites expand. What not to expect: • A tall, stretchy plant — she’s compact and will likely stay that way. • Early harvest — White Widow still takes her time, even under 12/12. ⸻ Shoutouts & Gratitude 🙏 🌱 Zamnesia – for the legendary White Widow genetics 💧 Aptus Holland – for the precise, reliable base nutrients 🌸 Plagron – for the flower enhancers that now join the recipe 💡 ThinkGrow – for the bar LEDs keeping perfect spread 🚀 Future of Grow – for the Black Series 600W full-spectrum power 🧠 TrolMaster – for automating and stabilizing the grow environment (and letting us dial in the Emerson effect with custom light scheduling!) And of course, thank you to everyone following this diary, reading, supporting, and sharing this journey. This project is about more than just one plant, it’s about experimenting, learning, and connecting with the grow along the way. ⸻ 📸 Check the gallery for: • Close-ups of bud formation • Studio shots with the Sony A6000 • Behind-the-scenes of the grow room • Video captures including the TrolMaster light scheduling demo • Daily plant connection moments 🌱 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Some nice red and pink hues appearing around the buds and the smell is really lovely, not overpowering but it is a pleasure to stick your nose in the tent and just inhale the aromas. Getting close to harvest time (10-11wks), will be cutting back on the nutes and begin flush feeding and watching the trichomes closely for any changes, they still look clear. Expecting her to start autumning off anytime soon. 18/10 Gave her a water feed 1.5 ltrs with molasses diluted ec 60ppm 6.8 pH

And the flowering begins! Changed the timer today to 12/12. The plant stems don't seem perfect to me but the clones didn't come as good as they should have been. They were the only ones i had though. The temperature is too high but i can't lower it anymore it's too hot were i live. Can't wait for the colder days! :/ Usually i opt for Scrog but this time i'm going with LST instead because since the grow space is small, its easier for me in case i want to flush or move the plants around. Gonna start the bloom boosters next week. Yay!

Smells on this bud are amazing! Very piney with hints of berries 😋 Not the biggest harvest, but that was expected seeing as this plant was grown in a 1 gal pot. None the less, I am happy with the results 😁

Bene bene.. La pianta continua a crescere le cime si stanno mostrando..e gli internodi allungano Come anche il tempo..la davano x 10 settimane ma dovrebbe farne 2/ 3 in più... Ma se la resa è come prevedo non sarà di certo un problema.. Cosa ho fatto... Niente le solite regolazioni ho aumentato la frequenza di irrigazione leggermente Ahh si siamo passati a 12/12 per questioni di femminizzate da fare fiorire purtroppo con un solo box è sempre un problema...

This week marks the long-awaited harvest of my 24K Gold. After several close trichome inspections, she finally reached the perfect window: mostly cloudy heads, with the first amber trichomes appearing on the upper buds. Perfect timing for maximum potency and terpene quality. ⸻ ⚖️ Yield (Wet Weight) 📦 773 g wet (confirmed on scale) This number includes the full plant with branches after a light wet trim. Final dry weight will be added after 10–14 days of drying + curing. ⸻ ✂️ Harvest Process • Removed fan leaves only • Performed a minimal wet trim to keep most trichomes intact • Entire plant cut at the base • Hung upside down on a full drying line • Goal: slow drying for best flavor ⸻ 🌬️ Drying Environment • Temperature: 18–19 °C • Humidity: 52–55% • Airflow: Soft and indirect • Estimated drying time: 10–14 days This setup should bring out the full citrus-diesel profile 24K Gold is known for. ⸻ 💎 Bud Quality & Aroma 24K Gold showed its signature traits strongly: • Extremely frosty buds with thick trichome layering • Long, twisted pistils turning orange/brown • Tight, medium-large bud structure • Sticky, resin-heavy trim work • Strong smell: orange zest × diesel × kush This pheno produced some of the frostiest buds of the whole run. ⸻ 🌱 Plant Behavior 24K Gold stayed healthy from start to finish: • No mold or late-flower issues • Responded very well to training • Thick branches, strong stretch • Zero nutrient sensitivity in late flower A very reliable and rewarding cultivar — definitely one to grow again.

The stretch is now over and you can see that the plants are now putting all their energy into the flowers. These swell more and more and gradually the filaments start to turn brown. However, the trichomes are still mostly transparent

Welcome back, fellow cosmic gardeners! Let's dive into the captivating world of our marvelous Cosmos F1, now in week 10 from seed and week 6 of flowering. This celestial beauty is truly setting the garden on fire, surpassing all expectations and pushing the boundaries of hemp cultivation. I can hardly contain my excitement as I witness the extraordinary development of our Cosmos F1. It's like watching a cosmic ballet of trichomes as they multiply and form a breathtaking display of colors. The sheer abundance is mind-boggling, leaving us in awe of nature's intricate artistry. Our girl is a shining example of perfection in every way, a testament to the wonders of the plant kingdom. As we enter the final stretch, I've made the decision to stop all feedings, allowing our cosmic queen to focus solely on maturing her extraordinary buds. It's a moment of anticipation and exhilaration, akin to standing on the cusp of a grand cosmic event. The trichomes are evolving, signaling the imminent arrival of peak potency. The enthusiasm building up within me is unlike anything I've experienced before. Our Cosmos F1 has ignited a spark of passion that burns brighter than a supernova. Every day, I find myself eagerly checking on her progress, feeling like a child eagerly awaiting a long-awaited cosmic voyage. Let's take a moment to appreciate the significance of this journey and the joy it brings. The decision to preserve our soil is a testament to our commitment to sustainable gardening practices. By nurturing the balance within our growing environment, we honor the interconnectedness of all living beings. It's a small step towards a greener future, one that resonates with the harmony of the cosmos.

The results have been astonishing, with improved light penetration and a renewed vigor that fills the room with cosmic energy. As we navigate this cosmic journey, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to @James and Royal Queen Seeds for gifting us with the extraordinary Cosmos F1. She has enriched our lives and expanded our horizons, opening our minds to the wonders of CBD strains. The experience has been nothing short of magical, and we eagerly await the cosmic culmination of our efforts. Together, let's continue to be inspired by the vastness of the universe and allow its infinite wisdom to guide our green thumbs. Our cosmic garden thrives as a testament to our dreams, care, and a touch of cosmic inspiration. May the cosmic forces align to bring forth an abundant and transcendent harvest. Until we meet again, keep dreaming big and let the cosmos be your guiding light on this celestial journey!

🚀 Turbo-Flush-Start: Die Nährstoff-Diät! 💧 Heute: Tag 1 des großen Saubermachens. Achtung, Pflanze! Wir haben soeben die "All-inclusive-Düngung" gekündigt. 🚫💰 Flushing gestartet! Es ist der ultimative Wellness-Urlaub, aber statt Schlammpackungen gibt es nur reines Wasser, literweise, ohne Zusätze. Wir spülen jetzt den Topf durch, bis der Boden sabbert wie ein nasser Hund. Der Plan: Die Pflanze muss ihre eingelagerten Nährstoffreserven (die leckeren Salze im Substrat) aufbrauchen, um die Buds noch dicker zu machen. Sie wird jetzt zur Farbenkünstlerin! Ein paar gelbe Blätter sind kein Grund zur Panik, das ist das Zeichen, dass sie ihre innere Schatzkammer leert. Motto: Spülen, warten, Harz ernten! Nächster Bericht: Sobald die Trichome ihre finale Entscheidung treffen! 😉

This run came out even better than I expected! This beautiful bud has sweet sugar like undertones with powerful hints of lemon and a small hint of pine as well. I would highly recommend everyone to try this if they were to grow any autoflower out there it is by far the easiest auto I’ve ever had and the prettiest in the tent. I have also pressed some into wax since it dried and cured for a few weeks and it literally looks like peanut butter and jelly it’s a light creamy color with purple as well and taste so amazing it’s actually my favorite rosin I’ve ever pressed. Harvested at day 53 Flower fed floraflex the whole run no cal-mag.

Had an unexpected 50 mph thunderstorm strike last Tuesday. It broke one Sour Strawberry plant in half. The RuntzLayerCake was bent over thirty degrees. Many limbs broken and bent on the plants. I had to duct tape several main stems as you’ll see in the video. The four caged plants proved stability for the others. Second grow. Lesson learned. All the plants are now trussed with string and are very healthy. Thanks for looking in this week, and let me know your thoughts.
