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.

Seems to be taking well to being moved to the 5gal pot. Growing a lot faster after the 2nd day in the bigger pot. Watered for the first time since planting in big pot after 5 days with 1L distilled water (Ph 7) mixed with 1/2 tsp. fox farms grow big and 1/2 tsp. big bloom. Since my soil is considered hot soil I wanted to use less than the recommendation on the bottle.

All pics are from the 1st day of each week
I upped the nutes considerably this week saw some weird spots forming on several of the plants just figured it was nute lock so i drained a gallon of water from the affected plant and replaced with basic ro ph balanced water to dilute was this the rt thing to do? Will be doing only 50% nutes from here on

Ending week 1 today!
I am satisfied with how the girls are growing.
Quick summary by days:
note: amount of water is on ALL plants, not just 1
13/9 6.5 PH Water Misting (0,2L)
14/9 6.5 PH Water Misting (0,2L)
15/9 6.5 PH Water Misting (0,3L)
16/9 Since I didn't water my soil when I was planting the seeds, I grabbed some more soil, put it on top just to help with stretching, and then I decided to do a full watering just to get the soil wet.
I grabbed my pressure pump, put in 1,5L of 6.5PH water, voodoo juice + piranha 2ml/L and watered all 9 of them with 1.5L (misting with the pressure pump - I think I will continue to do the waterings like this because it's so easy!)
17/9 6.5 PH Water Misting (0,2L)
I've seen a fungus gnat, so I put up more yellow sticky traps.
18/9 6.5 PH Water Misting (0,2L)
19/9 6.5 PH Water Misting (0,2L)
Caught 4 fungus gnats for now, I hope the bastards didn't lay their eggs. Keeping the vents on.
Temperature this weeks was 24-27, moisture 50-70, average 60.
Mimosa #2 a bit yellowish, keeping an eye on her, hope it's nothing serious.
Everything else is fine, going into week 2! I still won't give them any NPK, just voodoo + piranha + b52 in week 2. Maybe i put carboload or bud candy just to feed the bacteria and the fungus in piranha and voodoo juice, any thoughts on that? I think I will introduce Micro+Grow+Bloom 0,5ml/L in the third week.
Also, there are some white spots on the leaves. I think it could be chlorine? Im watering with tap water, letting it sit for around 12 hours before adjusting PH and watering. Maybe I will let it sit for more this week.
See ya in 7 days, if there aren't any more problems meantime haha

Week 8 of flowering:
This week, only water and a little Ata Clean for rinsing. The buds are finishing swelling and starting to take on a beautiful orange/copper color. The sweet-citrus aroma is already intense, and harvest is approaching.

They completed second week of flowering. They keep on happily stretching and groing beautiful colas. To avoid further stretch and increase DLI, I am dialing in to level 9 on my lamp and keeping it still at 60 cm distance.
This week, I will just leave the lamp at the same height and let them decide how close they want to come the light source.
Humidity is fluctuating between 52-55%.. Temp is 22-26 Celsius. VPD is relatively constant around 1.40s except for very rainy days where my dehumidifier comes into play.
PPFD is increased to ~1050 uMol this week. If they don鈥檛 like it, I will just dial back to level 8.

Beginning of week..
I went ahead and bumped the TDS to 1000 PPM this week. I don't think I'm going to go much higher than that. Usually don't have to.. Hopefully that's not too much.. I also started adding a bloom booster from Advanced Nutrients called Kushie Kush.. It works great for all strains tho lol. So the runoff is still acting up.. But it is getting better... Slowly. I emailed General Hydroponics on the issue a few days ago and they have not gotten back to me yet... Ugh. But going in: 1000 PPM.. Runoff: 700 PPM.. That was this morning.. Still have not given her plain water yet.. Just been feeding every watering.. Not really any signs of issues right now. A couple leaves are a little yellow (literally 2).. Another couple have some spots (maybe 4 or 5 leaves).. But other than that she is happy, healthy and smelling like a fucking champion! Seriously fucking delicious.. And to think the smell is supposed to warn off predators.. Hah! Good luck with that!!! Barely 8 days of flowering and she is already stacking so fucking nicely! I can't wait to see what kinda magic this gal is gonna do! So happy and excited!!! The light sits about 18 inches from the canopy right now at 100% power. She is still stretching a little but seems like she may be done with that pretty soon.. Maybe even before this week is over. Clones didn't make it.. I think it was too cold. They all sprouted roots but just stopped and they all yellowed out like a mf'r.. Looked like shit so I took them out back Ol' Yeller style and put them out of their misery 馃槶.. But it's ok.. The mama needs all the focus on her right now! Lol.. Oh yeah.. I went ahead and pulled a couple of the tallest branches down.. Just a tad.. Brought the ties up a node or so on each and pulled it tight.. Spread her out a little but I was nervous of snapping one off so I didnt try to push it too much.. These branches are tough af!
Later that day..
General Hydroponics finally got back to me.. They said that I'm an idiot for using FloraKleen during transition like that.. Lol jk.. They did say that I should have NOT done that.. And that my runoff should ALWAYS be lower than it is going in due to the ppant taking up the nutrients.. But that just doesn't seem right to me.. Ive ALWAYS had my runoff higher.. Literally ALWAYS.. but without issues. They said that if the runoff PPM is higher, then there's a problem.. Maybe if I was doing frequent fertigation.. But I'm not.. And never will because that just sounds like a waste of nutrients.. But whatever.. Today I learned that FloraKleen is ONLY for pre-harveat flushing.. Or hydroponic reservoir cleaning in between nutrient changes.. But definately not the way I used it lol.. Thankfully she is still doing good 馃憤... Buuuut whoops lol
Mid week..
Still doing magical things! Lol.. I didn't think she was gonna fill out this tent so nicely! Trichomes are forming nicely.. The purpling is looking amazing also! Some spots on SOME leaves.. But not alot.. Not sure what that is about.. No pests.. No deficiencies as far as I can tell.. Maybe just a mutation? Nothing to worry about tho.. This girl is so fucking gorgeous! I love it!.. Back to feed, water, feed, water, etc. schedule now.. I'm hoping that 1000 PPM isnt going to be too high for her.. But if it is, I will adjust accordingly.
End of week..
Seems to me like the stretching has stopped.. So I'm going to cut out the FloraGro.. Double up on the FloraBloom and later into flower I will bump up the Kushie Kush Bloom Booster. She's doing great! Smells fucking amazing! I thought my ETHOS Early Lemon Berry R1 was gonna be the best strain ever.. Then I grew this girlie! Not just a lemony scent.. But like a very sweetened lemonade.. Incredible! Trichomes are EVERYWHERE! Such an awesome, beautiful strain! Good job FastBuds.. Can't wait to try more of your strains! Too bad you wont even acknowledge my grow journal like you do everyone elses.. But whatev.. Lol.. On to the next week!!!...

Week 7 begins for Mandarin dreams. Both ladies are looking good and healthy, bud sites continue to bulk up and frost up. The shirt smell from MD1 has gone away, it's current smell is a bit earthy.
Switched out big bud coco for overdrive as we approach the end of the grow.
Thanks for checking in, tune in next week! 馃懡馃尦馃敟

Plain water feed started. Will feed for a week. Induce 48hrs of darkness then harvest. Buds look look to be around the perfect time for harvest. A little early vs the reccomended harvest date but overall happy with size and trichomes so see no reason not too.
