Starting week 4 flower now. Theses ladies are doing great. No signs of any deficiency thus far. Decided to hold off on potash at this point. Noticed ladies fighting for light hard and middle lady trying to take it all. I removed the exhaust fan and opened the tent on the sides. Then I added another king led 4000w light. Both 24 in with bloom only turned on at a par of 850. That was done on Saturday, and by Sunday could already see a big difference in bud production. Added recharge with last watering. Hoping the ladies continue on happy and building!

Germinated pretty well. It's now been 2 weeks since it's erupted from the soil and uh looks good for now. I haven't given them any nutrients yet might start on the third week so 14/12/2020.

🌸 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.

This week I transferred it into a 5 gallon pod cheese on the third note and taking water every 24 hours the root systems didn’t look that great but I think she’ll thrive in a New pot. Watered are at 6.5 pH. Will be transferring once she’s 2 feet tall into the flower.

The Zenviations have been processed specifically differently I must say that they are both beautiful but one suffered the attack a little more even if he has very dignished flowers. The low one has a few beasts as you but you seem to end up great, hopefully good

Olá amigos, está semana que passou foi a 1° semana de floração 12/12. As minhas meninas estão uns monstros 🤩 tive que tirar a auto Gorilla do armário porque fiquei sem espaço para estas brutas crescerem a vontade 🤣 a runtz muffin, se eu não tivesse aplicado LST, já tinha quase 1 metro 🌲 embora não pareça.. a shiskaberry tb tenho aplicado LST é muito ramificada, muito linda, a BlueBerry og também é um poder de planta muito ramificada mas sem LST, há duas semanas só tenho regado com água pura, desde que apliquei as bactérias as plantas não necessitam de nutrientes crescem cheias de força, obrigado amigos ✌️🌱

06/01/2020 Time to make the seeds! First my Cookie Cake F1 plant is a 7 star cookies male (Top dawg seeds) X a female Captains cake clone (Captains connection) and will be growing TLO Style. 7 Stars Cookies Strain | Marijuana Strain Reviews 50% Sativa /50% Indica THC: 22% - 27% 7 Stars Cookies is an evenly balanced hybrid strain (50% indica/50% sativa) created through a potent cross of the classic F1 Durban X Girl Scout Cookies strains. This potent bud is infamous among cannabis users for its super high potency and long lasting effects that are perfect for any hybrid lover. The 7 Stars Cookies high starts with a rush of cerebral effects that rush though your mind, lifting your spirits and leaving you blissfully happy and unfocused. As your mind flies higher and higher, your body will begin to slip away into a state of deep relaxation that leaves you totally stoned and out of it. A sharp pang of hunger comes next, leaving you with a ravenous case of the munchies as your mind slips in and out of calming sedation. Thanks to these effects and its super high 22-28% THC level, 7 Star Cookies is often chosen to treat those suffering from conditions such as chronic pain, insomnia, stress, depression, and migraines or headaches. This bud has a sweet citrusy flavor with hints of spicy earthy grape upon exhale. The aroma follows the same profile although with a light pungency to it. 7 Star Cookies buds have fluffy dense popcorn-shaped olive green nugs with bright orange hairs and golden crystal trichomes. Captain's Cake Marijuana Strain Information About Captain's Cake Hailing from the beautiful land of Maine, Captain’s Cake is brought to us by The Captain’s Connection. This indica-dominant strain boasts two pretty incredible parents, Girl Scout Cookies and White Fire Alien OG, making her a bud that offers great effects for both recreational and medical patients. While Captain’s Cake typically acts as a true hybrid, user sensitivity may dictate that your experience comes with the roll of the dice. A fairly potent strain in her own right, Captain’s Cake averages around 21% THC. Rumor has it that CBD levels can vary dramatically, with some reports showing a range between 1% and 15%. While that data remains to be confirmed, you can instead relish in beautiful buds that are bright green, featuring orange pistils and lovely amber trichomes. Oddly enough, flavors and scents do vary a bit with this strain, and you’ll notice it smells much worse than it tastes. A sour and earthy fragrance that includes lemon, nuts, and berries will hit you right away while your mouth enjoys a nutty vanilla cookie experience that’s slightly citrus-like. Captain’s Cake is awesome for those times when you need a boost of energy to get through a particularly trying task. Whether you’re experiencing the three o’clock workday slump or you simply have to clean the house before it gets any worse, this strain is here to help. Users note a euphoric boost that helps you to focus on your tasks while having a huge smile on your face, but keep in mind that this joyful experience can only last so long. Soon the munchies will hit, and after you’ve had your fill of snacks, you’ll be ready to settle in during a sedating comedown. Even if Captain’s Cake doesn’t have an astounding amount of CBD, medical patients still note that she’s a strain that is practically magical. Users find that mental woes are easily dissolved after taking a few hits, making stress and depression a thing of the past. Bodily aches and pains are also treated with a slight feeling of physical sedation, and those who struggle with their appetite will likely turn to this bud time and time again. This plant is an ideal choice for new and experienced growers, and the ability to cultivate inside or out makes her pretty versatile. Said to be a quick flowering strain, you’ll be gifted with a nicely sized yield after 8 to 9 weeks. Plants tend to grow fairly large, so make sure you have enough space dedicated to your crop before you begin. Depending on how you handle marijuana, Captain’s Cake may knock you out for an amazing nap or in some cases may fire you up with tons of energy. Others will experience a nice set of hybrid effects, so it’s best to know yourself before lighting this one up. Red Sky is Description The (paternal P1) father is the legendary Cherry Hemmingway male. A hybrid of a landrace Bhutan, and Rez Dog’s Firecracker (Williams Wonder x NYC Diesel). The female KOS’s own Skyanchor (Bogglegum x PSI) a cross using a prime selected male of BOG’s Bogglegum. A bad ass old-school hybrid made using a Northern Lights #5 (real deal) crossed to a Bubblegum (real deal). The female used to make the Skyanchor was my clone only PSI (Purple Salem Indica) that I was given by my good friend Keith, in Salem, OR, USA. Some kind of crazy old Purple Kush variant; potency is not only severe with this baby, but supernaturally intense. The Cherry Hemmy is well known by me to relate large yields and incredible vigor along with increased resin production, and also usually relates cream soda, vanilla, or cherry-ish terpenes, making exotic and addictive combinations when used as part of any hybrid. So, the Red Sky yields well—very well. Some truly legendary strains involved in this Small Batch Seed run. Great genetics equals great end results. I put video of Red Sky #3's brothers #2, and #4.

One of the standout features of Auto Purple is its ability to change colors without requiring extra effort or investments from my side. Witnessing the gradual transformation of the plant added an extra layer of excitement to the cultivation process. The vibrant hues brought about by this strain created a visual spectacle that exceeded my expectations, and the joy derived from the resulting photographs is undeniable. Despite the visual triumphs, I couldn't escape the recurring issues that often accompany autoflowering strains. The yield, much like my experiences with other autos, fell considerably short of expectations. This common challenge posed by autoflowers prompts a reevaluation of expectations, acknowledging that their unique traits may require a different approach to achieve optimal results. In summary, Auto Purple by Pyramid Seeds offered a delightful visual experience with its natural color changes and fruity notes, marking a positive step into the realm of colorful strains. However, the persistent challenges in yield highlight the need for a nuanced approach to cultivation when dealing with autoflowering varieties.

Semana de lavado, regando cada dos días solo con agua de ósmosis inversa. Esta semana continuaron mostrando un cambio de color más acelerado. At 59 days they already showed a high percentage of amber trichomes, more than enough to harvest before 60 days. A simple, uncomplicated grow, the plants are truly rewarding, not so much for the quantity of trichomes as for their growth, yield, and aroma—an aroma that suggests it will be delicious, possibly earthy, sweet, perhaps pine, or who knows, maybe even a hint of citrus, lemon. Something along those lines. What I can say for sure is that it smells terrible; it wouldn't be recommended for grows that want to go unnoticed. After 61 days, harvest and dry inside the closet.

BIG BIG apologies to Heather from fast buds & to Growdiaries & anyone who follows. The past few months have been a massive struggle, not just with temperatures & growing weed but on a personal level. My wife has been very poorly & with covid and everything going on, it's put a massive strain on us all!! I've tries to maintain an active presence on Instagram but that's about all I've physically had time for. I've put this update together today, so far into the grow now it almost seems pointless. I lost my original Mimosa due to high temps & high RH. Moving into the attic at that time of year was a mistake. It has cost me a small fortune to keep things alive. I've had to purchase an air con unit, more fans & just more of everything to be honest. My purple punch is almost ready to harvest, any time within the next couple of days, followed shortly by Bruce Banner & Kosher cake. I wont be winning any awards for this Diary & I feel bad as I was supposed to be show casing what 420 Fast buds has to offer & I've failed...miserably. I hope you can make sense of all the pictures I've included....just a mass photo frenzy over the past few weeks. Thanks to everyone & all your comments. Wishing you all the best. One Love ❤️
