Hello Diary,
White Widow has completed its last week, the journey has come to an end.
Two days after the photo shoot, I harvested White Widow along with her roommates.
73 days since I put the seeds in the ground.
65 days since the start of the vegetation.
Really very fast, although it has somehow become the standard on my small farm.
But I am still fascinated by how quickly the plant goes through its cycle when it has the most ideal conditions.
I don't necessarily mean myself, I try to give the plants the best I can and know how.
As you can see in the photos, the result is impressive, White Widow turned out to be a real beauty.
This phenotype painted White Widow in purple.
The flowers are hard and dense, the branches bend under their weight.
One branch even broke when I was setting it up for the photo shoot.
That purple color gives it a special look.
Some of the leaves have taken on autumn colors, which is also one of the signs that it has matured.
This week I continued to observe the samples under the microscope, waiting for the trichomes to turn milky.
On the day of the photo shoot, which was day 63, most of the trichomes were milky, some even brown.
The smell is very intense, the whole room smells like plants when I open the grow box.
I barely wash my fingers after examining the plants.
Watering was standard, every three days.
This week I stopped adding nutrients, I just lowered the p.H. to 6.0 and water the plants with clean water.
After the photo shoot, she was in the grow box for two more days to drink all the water from the soil so that the drying would be more efficient.
Before cutting, I removed all the leaves from the plant to also make drying easier and have less work to trim the dried flowers.
But also to prevent the formation of potential mold.
After cutting, I left her upside down in the grow box to dry.
Now I'm waiting for the flowers to dry well and to see how much White Widow has really rewarded me.
See you when that happens.
Here's what the last week looked like.
19/09/2024 - Day 57.
Watering.
I prepared 9 liters of water, lowered the pH to 6.0 and used that amount to water all three plants on the farm.
22/09/2024 - Day 60.
Watering.
I repeated the same procedure as three days earlier.
24/09/2024 - Day 62.
I watered them all with 1.5 liters of water each plant so they would be fresh for the photos.
25/09/2024 - Day 63.
End of the last, 9th week since Purple Lemonade began its journey. Photos.
27/09/2024 - Day 65.
White Widow has been harvested.
That's almost all from me for this diary, the final report that follows after drying and testing remains. Thank you all again for your support and comments.

👉this is week start of week 8 and the switch to the 12/12 schedule. the plant is on the 6th week on the GH nutrient chart for its flora series drain to waste schedule.This is considered early bloom and the only difference from the transition nutrients is the reduction of FloraGrow and addition of Liquid KoolBloom. The water I use is RO water from a medical grade industrial machine (not on site). Its conductivity is .04ms. Its 98.5% pure water. I believe this is helping me mix my nutrients at full strength and achieve the middle to upper end of the recommended ec range. The volume of plant uptake has increased quite alot. I am averaging 2 liters two times a day, but as the week progressed a couple of high flow fertigations were needed to keep the run off below +30ms. I feed my Marigold plant the run-off after Ive measured it. The fertigation station is in a closet in another room and doorways wipe my memory so I fed 99 the runoff a couple days ago (9-16). So I fertigated 1.5 liter immediately. That runoff was close to 30+. The lights were going out so the next morning i fertigated with 4liters. That runoff was +10. That night was 2liters w/.9 liter runoff +10. I plant on keeping the flow a little high to help prevent any nutrient deficiencies while its doing the early flowering stretch.
👉The plant is lush and green and growing as a nice round bush. Stout main stalk and is 21". I began plucking lower leaves that were reducing airflow around the base. These could pose a mildew risk if left on because they are in contact with the pot and reducing airflow across the top of the media. They were shaded now by the expanding branches above so it was time to remove them. I like to take leaves gradually, one or two per fertigation event. I also have taken off the bottom 3 branches. They were healthy and had plenty of potential bud sites...but they would be in the shade and never meet the potential of the upper buds. I may take two more low branches, but I will keep them if they keep stretching outward and upwards and stay in the direct light. When they start flowering full time I will have removed as many of the potential larf bud nodes on the interior of each branch. Nothing extreme, just the basic lollipop on the bottom and reducing larf production up top.
👉I am using a cordless work light to make the pictures better. My phone camera flash isnt bright enough to over come the LED blurple and the addition of the very bright work light makes the picture way better. As you can see I will still be taking some of the pix with the LEDs on, but also use the camera flash and the work light and that helps bring out the green better. But lights out show a more detailed realistic image and I will include more pix this way.
👉Switching to 12/12 has been a challenge. I work varied hours and making it home before lights out is hit and miss. Also being a stoner I forget stuff if I get distracted by a movie, a sporting event or a shiny object, so visits to the tent during dark times will happen. I have green lights installed in the room and in the hallway. I have a good headlamp with green LEDs. I missed the first day and had to fertigate after hours...sigh. I took pictures with the green light on but no flash.

Day 8 - Tuesday 23/10,18 , I have added the nutrients into the Reservoir , she is making roots like you wouldn’t believe , over a foot long and branches , I will post a pic later , as I want the light off , talking of lights , the cycle is now 20/4 that’s 20 hrs of sun to 4 hrs of darkness , colour is good , leaves are quite fat . KEEP AN EYE ON PH AND EC DAILY !!!
Lux @ 15,000
EC = +0.7 or 350 ppm
Ph = 6.3
Day 9 - Wednesday , I checked the ph and a EC this morning , both were fine , put in about 50 ml of water , leaves getting fatter , roots are getting more dense and intricate
Day 10 - Thursday , I tested the ph and EC , all was good, took a root shot for you
Day 11 - Friday , tested ph and EC , all good , water level ok , ive noticed that it has actually turned around, can you see that? the leaves have turned..... from 10 to 4 to 6 oclock...!!! or am i losing it? lol.....
Day 12 - Saturday , tested EC and ph , no water needed or nutes, leaves are green and getting bigger , look how compact the plants are , there is no stretching ,I have put more pebbles in to stop light leaks to the roots .
Day 13 - Sunday - Checked EC and ph nothing needed
Day 14 - Monday - Checked EC and ph , nothing needed , water level ok
IMPORTANT 👁️ To prolong the lives of EC tester and ph tester ( digital ones ) ALWAYS WASH THEM OFF WITH CLEAN WATER AFTER EACH TEST 💯
you need to check the roots , in these pots if there is 2 in a system , they will become entangled and matted if you don’t lift them , EVERYDAY .
Please note the pots are 14 cm in diameter

This beautiful girl got the chop. All I can say is Wow. It went full on beastmode in the Cannpot system which is a self watering pot through a wicker system. The pungent sweet and sour smell, followed by dense colorful flowers it's a growers dream. The total wet weight came to a whopping 1014g. Over all was fun to grow especially watching the flowers swell in the final weeks before harvest. Did very little besides a defoliation and lollipop and started feeding Athena Blended line around week 2. Happy Growing.

The weak plant is small and sick. The healthy plant is beautiful even I expected a little bigger plant. Leaves and flowers started to be purple.
