This week has went well for one of the plants. the mainlined plant "plant #1" has exploded in size and now dwarfs the single cola plant "plant #2". I also defoliated #2 plant to try and increase how fat it gets. One weird thing with plant #1 is one of its main colas split on its own, and I did not top it. this can been seen in the video. Don't know why this happened, not angry that it did. Have also been noticing that plant #2 is very indica like with how compact the plant is. even its nodes are compact vs plant #1 that is more airy and spaced out.

🌸 White Widow — Week 4 of Flower (12/12–11/13 From Seed) Stage: Week 4 Flower (full flower, no stretch left) Structure: Compact plant, building a tall main cola (~25 cm target) + tidy “golf-ball” side colas Frost: Already impressive; trichomes thickening across tops and sugar leaves Watering: Hand watering (by feel; no runoff chasing) Light routine: Still running the red-on/red-off sunrise/sunset via TrolMaster (15 min before/after) ⸻ Quick Recap (for anyone just joining) • Germination: We lost the first batch (uneven heat mat, my mistake). We restarted and this solo survivor is the one you see now. • Veg under 11/13: She stayed compact and stubbornly vegged a while before showing preflower, great node stacking. • Early flower: Bud set → second flower push → now deep into Week 4 with clear, even sites top to bottom. • Environment: Room was hot early on; AC install stabilized temps and RH. Plants never showed stress, credit to genetics, steady care, and balanced feed. ⸻ 🍽️ Nutrition (this week) We’ve removed Top Booster completely. Current, steady recipe: • Aptus Regulator – supports cell strength, transport efficiency, and stress tolerance • Aptus CalMag Boost – LED + coco/active soil insurance for Ca/Mg/Fe availability • Plagron Power Buds – encourages compact flower set at each node • Plagron Sugar Royal – metabolic push (N-based aminos) to drive energy use + aroma precursors • Plagron Green Sensation – balanced late-flower support (PK + organics/biostims) for density, oil, and finish • Aptus All-in-One Liquid – (still in) gentle full-spectrum base; likely to taper/stop soon as the soil biology carries more of the load Why this mix now? Week 4 is the “early swell” window: calyx initiation shifts into mass formation. We’re keeping Ca/Mg steady for membrane integrity and photosynthesis under strong LED; using Power Buds to keep sites tight, Sugar Royal to feed metabolism and terpenes, Green Sensation to support density/oils, and Regulator to keep the plant efficient under heat/PPFD. All-in-One remains as a safety net while the super soil’s biology fully ramps, then it can step back. ⸻ 🔬 Plant Development (what’s happening physiologically) • Stretch is done. Auxin dominance recedes; energy diverts to calyx swelling and trichome biosynthesis. • Trichomes rising. Expect a marked increase in capitate-stalked heads on bracts and sugar leaves from now through Week 6–7. • Carb sink strength. Flowers become the primary sink; steady water + balanced EC will keep turgor and bulking clean. ⸻ 💡 Light & Rhythm • Sunrise/sunset with reds (TrolMaster): 15 min before and after the white/blue block to smooth transitions and lean into the red/far-red synergy. • Target PPFD/DLI: With shorter photoperiods (11–12 h), aim ~700–800 µmol·m⁻²·s⁻¹ to land a DLI ~28–32 mol·m⁻²·day⁻¹—a sweet spot for mid-flower without forcing heat stress. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment (steady and sensible) • Temps/RH: Now stable since AC: ~28 °C and mid-60s %RH previously reported—great for mid-flower resin and growth when airflow is strong. • VPD: Around 1.3–1.4 kPa is ideal for Week 4 bulk—keeps stomata active, minimizes mold risk, and preserves turgor. • CO₂: Natural room swings are fine at this stage; plant responses are telling us she’s happy. ⸻ 👀 What to Expect Next (Week 5–6) • Calyx stacking & mass gain on the main cola and those side “golf balls.” • Frost explosion: More trichomes and a greasy feel on sugar leaves. • Aroma lift: Expect that classic White Widow earthy-spice to start pushing out. What not to expect • Height—she’s done stretching. • True ripening signals (amber heads, heavy fade) — too early. • Big defoliation needs, she’s compact; keep leaves that drive sugars unless a leaf blocks airflow or a bud site entirely. ⸻ Grower’s Tips (why the choices matter) • No Top Booster now: Keeps K spikes in check; prevents Ca/K antagonism and tip burn while the plant is setting long-term resin factories. • Keep Ca/Mg consistent: Under strong LEDs, Ca deficits appear suddenly in fast-bulking weeks. Stay ahead, not behind. • Watering style: Hand watering gives you feel-level control over moisture fronts and prevents swings—perfect for a compact, single-plant showcase. ⸻ 🙏 Gratitude & Shoutouts 🌱 Zamnesia Seeds — for the living legend, White Widow 💧 Aptus Holland — clean, precise fundamentals (Regulator, CalMag, All-in-One) 🌸 Plagron — Power Buds, Sugar Royal, Green Sensation driving flower expression 💡 ThinkGrow & Future of Grow (Black Series 600W) — power + uniformity for dense stacking 🧠 TrolMaster — the ecosystem that lets us choreograph sunrise/sunset and keep the room steady …and you, reading and riding along.

Just to clarify a purple punch auto is in the back left-hand corner and the mimosa or a flower is in the back right-hand corner. Both by Tastbudz.

Alrighty growmies 👌🏻 so I’ve had a bit of a week set back due to issues, but back on track, the heat wave has definitely given a few girls a bit of a hard time not being able to attend but none the less, lifted the light again, trying to get on top of this PH fluctuating I’m having again using these stupid PH drops as my PH pen also keep jumping. Besides that I’ve managed to make a new home for the clones and got them under a couple UFO LEDs so that will house them for a few more weeks and al bring out the 600w HPS for them, but these runtz since being repotted have not taking nicely to it at all even using dynomyco so again hopefully by Friday they should be past that stage if not on flowering either way going to be a bomb scare when these taller plants start to stretch might have to bring out the net for sure 🤣🤙🏻 if all goes wrong at least I have my clones for back ups, keep eyes open for the incoming fire thou 🔥

4/20 Still having trouble getting seeds to grow! 4 out of 6 seeds from the initial pop have died, so I've popped one more Chemdogging and one more Sour Diesel. Placed the popped seeds directly in the pot they'll stay in for the whole grow per suggestions. Built a 30"x36" trellis out of 3/4" PVC pipe, will install a double trellis netting on it once I set up the Blumat watering system. Also added in a smart power strip that now has built-in timers I can control from my phone. Organized all my extra grow equipment and cleaned up the room! The little pots in the photos are some random seeds I'm starting off in here to give to some friends to grow outdoors. 4/25 - sour diesel popped up today! 5/2 Still no luck getting the Chemdogging to sprout, currently waiting on C-dog and a Blackberry auto to sprout in my other two pots. Set up some random plants from seeds I found in a bag of Black Lime and Cookies, put them in a separate room to flower so I can find out if they're female.

Week 3 D2 increased RH to ~70% D3 Height 14cm 1 / 13cm 2 Plants looking good. I'm full satisfied D4 3cm growth over night ***May the fourth be with you ;-)*** D5 1/19 cm 2/18 cm D7 No incidents, good week for the plants

Great strain to grow, had no problems. Quality is amazing. Best Autoflower taste and smell I've grown so far. Very strong and frosty. The stickiest Auto I've grown. Definitely recommend it

Salut les copains 👍👍 Bon semaine 5 de floraison, et je vais attaquer bientôt le rinçage . Les plante on fortement gonflé c'est dernier jours. Aujourd'hui nous sommes au jour 61 du cycles des plantes . Comment dire que la GC reste la meilleur variétés que j'ai pu faire . Et aujourd'hui je ne suis pas déçu . La Strawberry et vraiment une surprise de dingue moins haute mais bien plus dense en Bud c'est impressionnant. L'odeur des deux et juste inexplicable 😍

in the passport of the variety itself, exactly 63 days of color are written, but still look transparent, I’ll wait until the end of the week;

Deoliated and trained! Even did a little video showcase! In love with this round from Fastbuds!!!!! Gonna get a great harvest!

Ya viendo el resultado del último LST, desde aquí ya veo cómo van las cosas!

Solo cup challenge continues to press along. Not much change, plants are in veg, growing and healthy. Still a few weeks before the flowers start so I hope to get a bit of size going before it does. Having fun and really like looking at the other entries in this contest. Check out WildeWeed, Butterstotch and BeanswithPork, silky, larimar, fireman

Finish week 8,5

Trying to get 70% RH but they are so small and don´t transpire so much, plus the indoor is quite large for this babies and I don´t have a humidifier. Just have to spray them a bit all the time to make them feel humid enough. RH is actually 60% but that´s OK, it will increase eventually when this babies grow. Today May 16 I got a little humidifier and that mantains humidity around 60% without spraying water. I still spray a little water during the day to make them feel more comfy. I also decided to switch some light bulbs off because it was too much light for this babies. Just let 3 white bulbs and the 2 full spectrum bulbs on, 60 cm above the babies. That was it for the first week of this 3 gums. Gum 3 has already a name if you noticed, I'll be thinking of the names for the other girls.

Early harvest because mold

Well i figured i would try some different this week. I main lined her and topped her on day 9. Lets watch and see how she responds. I feel as though doing this early in veg will allow her more time to adjust before flower. Towards the end of the week 2, four days after the HST....we see 2 new main top braches coming in, as well as some action at the internodal cut point which is indicating a "Fimm" job rather my prior presumption of topping the plant. None the less i am excited to see her grow, and i intend on letting her grow naturally beyond this point....just to see the results.

Back from vcation after two weeks the Ladys Look beautyful and Full of Color Today i will water them the last time on day 62 of flower and cut in the next 4-5 days The zake should be a week faster than the other two but that isnt the case The buds on all Ladys are dense and the smell is amazing cant wait to Test em out rauch

When should they start flowering?

Trucking right along with no issues. Girls putting on weight and it's pretty cool to see other bud-sites fatten up with this light compared to my old blurple. Day 50 for the 2-gal and day 43 for 3-gal, cannot wait until harvest!! Gonna wait minimum 80 days for the 2-gal, maybe longer.
