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.

Day 56f and week 8 and the girls are ripening up. Looking to harvest within the next 4 to 8 days. Just waiting for some more cloudy trichomes to show up. We've reduced our feeding to Canna Boost and Cannazyme only. For the last 4 days or so they will receive plain water. Really stoked how this girl has turned out so far and I can't wait to harvest her. Thank you everyone for likes and comments this far I so appreciate you guys. Growers love ✌️🏻-BLG Video- https://youtu.be/NVoXwpqe9AQ

What an incredible journey this has been! From start to finish, these plants dazzled at every stage. The drying process was a bit of a marathon – 21 days of suspense. But now, they are absolutely perfect. They snapped off the stems with a satisfying crunch – straight into my rolling paper for, ahem, "quality control" purposes. I'm beyond excited to have 2 more seeds ready for the future. Though I won't be growing them in my next round, I can't wait to see what they'll do next time. These gorgeous ladies have rewarded me with a whopping 248 grams dry! I'm in absolute weed heaven. Now comes the hard part – keeping my hands off while they cure and reach their full potential. My trusty humidor will help make sure they become everything they're meant to be. Here's to a fantastic harvest and many more green adventures ahead! 🌿🎉

Hello all and welcome back. We had a GOOD week. We are in flower and I couldn't be happier. This week was like most, just water when the pot is light. So here is the rundown. Day 30 - This day I rotated 1/4 turn to avoid hot spots with my light. I also added a humidifier to the tent. I purchased a large dehumidifier for my house as the sunshine coast is in full WET season. This brought my tent down to low 40's RH. Humidifier was set up to a timer, 30 on 30 off. This kept me pretty steady between 55 and 60%RH. And she loved it. Just blew up. Day 31 - nothing to do here but monitor the environment. All is well on this day. Day 32 - on this day we water 💧 🙂. I'm doing a combination on top watering and bottom watering. I top dressed last week so I top water to flush the amendments down and bottom water to ensure no dry spot in Coco. It's working very well. Day 33 - this day is a monitor day. Environment is holding steady at 26 and mid 50s RH Day 34 - this day we watch again. Everything holding steady. In the evening before bed I checked in and noticed on a few leaves I have "rust spots." Only about 4 leaves but still, I was concerned. I removed the humidifier to lower the RH. Day 35 - Continuing my only drama this week. In the morning, I watered, readjusted my LST ties and did some defoliation to the lower skirt any blocking prime bud sites that I can't tuck. I watered again this time with water ph set to 6.2. The rust looks like calcium or magnesium. Since I have Oyster Shell Flower (Calcium) in my mix and just top dressed a week ago, I thought it's more likely my mediums Ph swung a little high as my last watering was ph at 6.8 and I think my pen of off now. So I'm thinking small lockout. Watered with Epsom salts for Magnesium to be safe. Day 36 - Today no new rust spots and the ones there are same size. I'll find out in a few days if I caught the spread in time. So all seems well. Happy grow to all, and to all a good harvest!!

Week 3 VEG – Roller Coster Haze (Zamnesia Seeds) Expanding the Canopy, Building the Ecosystem Week 3 VEG has arrived, and our Roller Coster Haze girls are thriving. They’re growing with intensity, branching fast, stretching out beautifully, and responding with vibrant color and leaf development. This week, we stepped outside the tent for a special photo session to capture their structure, symmetry, and power. Both phenos are showing great promise. But this update isn’t just about how the plants are growing — it’s about how we’re growing them. This week we shine the light on the ecosystem behind the leaves — the environment, the gear, and the design that make it all possible. ⸻ Light Systems – Future of Grow & ThinkGrow We are currently growing under two powerful LED systems in a shared 8x8 room: • Future of Grow: Highly efficient, full-spectrum lighting technology providing excellent canopy penetration. • ThinkGrow Model One LEDs: Tuned for precision horticulture, great thermal management, and superior spread, recently integrated into the setup. Both light systems are now active, operating in two separate environmental zones within the same space, but synchronized and managed through one master control hub. ⸻ Environmental Intelligence – TrolMaster Ecosystem All environmental conditions are being automated and fine-tuned using the TrolMaster Tent-X Control System, including: • CO₂ Sensors – Monitoring levels and ensuring optimal enrichment. • Temperature & Humidity Sensors – Providing real-time data for environmental balance. • PPFD Sensor – Ensuring precise light intensity distribution across both zones. • Device Integration – Exhaust fans, intake fans, humidification and lighting systems all run through this single ecosystem. The system gives us a responsive, dynamic grow space that adjusts in real time to keep conditions perfect. ⸻ Airflow & Filtration – Keeping It Clean and Controlled Air exchange is critical, and we’ve built a dual-exhaust, filtered system to keep the space fresh and odor-free: • Exhaust System: • Two 6-inch carbon-filtered exhaust lines. • Spider Farmer extraction fan (controlled via Spider Farmer GGS controller). • AeroFan (connected to TrolMaster Tent-X controller). • Intake System: • One 6-inch filtered intake, bringing in fresh, conditioned air. This ensures both negative pressure and proper circulation at all times. Clean air in, filtered air out, silently and efficiently. ⸻ Feeding Schedule – Aptus Micro-Nutrition, Targeted & Precise This week, we maintained a light but effective nutrient profile using Aptus Holland products, aimed at promoting root structure, nutrient uptake, and resistance: • Regulator – 0.25 ml/L – cellular strength and stress reduction. • CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml/L – structural support and calcium-magnesium balance. • All-in-One Liquid – 1 ml/L – balanced NPK and trace minerals. • Start Booster – 0.2 ml/L – supporting root expansion and microbial activity. This blend is helping the girls keep pace with their rapid vegetative expansion without overwhelming them. We’re not pushing for speed, we’re feeding for structure. ⸻ Looking Ahead We’ll be making our final decisions next week, based on structure, root readiness, and overall health. From there, final stretch of veg before flower. We’re not rushing — we’re watching. Letting them show us who they are. ⸻ Final Notes – Summer in the Grow Room It’s summer, and just like the world outside, the room is alive. Life is bursting in every direction — the plants, the microbes, the air systems, the sensors. Everything is connected and working in rhythm. It’s beautiful to witness. This week was not about interventions — it was about observation, appreciation, and refinement. The grow is expanding. The system is expanding. And the girls? They’re reaching for the light, fast and full of promise.

El sustrato que estoy probando lo preparé yo y al parecer lo hice mal, estoy con deficiencias. Regando con agua purificada e instagreen de grotek intercalado de calmax, improvisando .... Enzimas también agregue. El sustrato no retiene nutrientes y tiene una textura que no aporta humedad en la capa , estoy regando a diario con pocas cantidades de agua como se hace con la fibra de coco. A ver que tal...

Had some issues with extreme humidity, but I've managed to bring it all back down now with plenty of dehumidifiers lol. Was at 99% now I'm at around 60%. I removed the netting as I had to take all the plants out the tent, as run off water was collecting at the bottom and contributing to the high humidity. I haven't watered atall this week, as the high humidity has been keeping the soil moist on it own. Once it's dried out a little more I will water again. The plants seem to be handling it fine, I think I caught it early enough. Starting to see pistils forming now.
