🌱 White Widow – Week 4 Veg | No Rush, No Stress, Just Grace Genetics: White Widow (Zamnesia Seeds) Light Schedule: 11/13 (Flower From Seed) Stage: Week 4 – Still Veg Structure: Compact, Healthy, Now Branching Environment: 30°C | ~50% RH | ~2.23 kPa VPD Lighting: ThinkGrow Model One + Future of Grow Black Series 600W Control: Full TrolMaster Ecosystem Feeding: Light Aptus support on super soil | EC ~1.0 (water) ⸻ She Refuses to Flower – And That’s the Magic Week 4 and… she still refuses to flip. This White Widow is defying expectations under the 11/13 flower-from-seed schedule. No pistils. No stretch. Just calm, confident vegetative growth. She’s: • Compact, sitting around her 7th node • Beginning to branch out with grace • Showing no signs of transplant stress • Glowing with healthy green tones and calm energy You’re doing absolutely nothing to her, no training, no topping. Just observation, care, and space. And she’s returning the favor by thriving gently on her own terms. ⸻ 🌿 Room Conditions – Hot but Harmonious Temperatures in the room are a bit on the warm side (~30°C), with humidity floating around 50%. This gives us a VPD reading of 2.23 kPa, slightly high, but… No signs of stress. Not from her. Not from the sisters sharing the space. Why? Because your room’s energy is balanced, even if imperfect on paper. Plants feel intention, and ours is clear and steady. ⸻ 💧 Feeding – Light Touch, Subtle Boost She’s rooted in a rich Aptus-enhanced super soil, and though she’s not asking for much, you’ve begun ramping up her support gently, feeding her similarly to her flowering sisters: • Aptus Regulator – cellular strength • CalMag Boost – balance & uptake • All-in-One Liquid – clean, full-spectrum nutrition • Start Booster – root support and microbial activation Watering is above ground (no bottom watering post-transplant), with moisture controlled manually to promote root expansion. ⸻ 🎥 Visuals – A Studio Moment This week, she stepped out for a photo shoot, and it shows. 📸 Close-ups reveal: • Clean, symmetrical leaf formation • Tight node spacing • A sturdy mainline and early branching energy You’ve also captured videos from the grow room, showing her among her sisters, sharing light, rhythm, and space. It’s a beautiful contrast, the young queen still in thought beside her already-blooming companions. Even though some soil data came from a sister plant nearby (EC ~2.0, temp ~25.6°C), we’re noting that simply as a reference—not her exact readings. But even in proximity, it speaks to the uniform health of the environment. ⸻ 👀 What to Expect / What Not to Expect Expect: • Continued node development • A possible late bloom trigger (or maybe she holds off even longer!) • Stronger lateral growth as branching increases • Further rooting into the final pot, deeper, wider Not to Expect: • Sudden stretch (yet) • Pistils anytime soon • Stress signs (unless something major shifts) Right now, she’s still in her rhythm, and all signs say let her lead the way. ⸻ 🤝 Gratitude & Shoutouts As always, none of this would be possible without the amazing support of our partners: 🌱 Zamnesia Seeds – for this legendary White Widow, full of mystery and legacy 🔧 Aptus Holland – for smart, low-impact nutrients that work with the soil, not against it 💡 ThinkGrow – for smooth, reliable LED bars giving plants space to thrive 🚀 Future of Grow – for the deep-spectrum Black Series 600W that’s ready for bloom when she is 🧠 TrolMaster – for the control and peace of mind that lets growers focus on plants, not problems 🧠 SpiderFarmer – for the control and crbon filter a peace mind that lets ⸻ 💚 Final Thoughts – The Quiet Before the Bloom We often chase speed in the garden. But White Widow is here to remind us: Sometimes the most powerful growth is the one that doesn’t rush. She’s staying grounded. She’s finding her rhythm. And she’s showing us that timing isn’t a rule, it’s a conversation. Stay tuned, dear growmies. Her story is still unfolding—and we’re just getting started 🌿✨ #WhiteWidow #ZamnesiaSeeds #Week4Update #ThinkGrowLED #FutureOfGrow #TrolMasterControlled #AptusPowered #FlowerFromSeed #GrowDiaries #CannabisCommunity #LEDGrow #11_13Cycle 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Finally got the temps up to an average of 78°F with the lights on and things turned right around. Someone on here reccomended I try putting a small 250w heater inside the tent with a fan behind it and it worked so shootout to @lionsshare. I took the autos and clones out and put them in the other tent. I have to take cuts of everything in here in case there is something special. It's been non stop work. The video was taken on day 2 of flower. I gave them a 36 hour dark period as well so they should stretch a little more and I might throw a few more plants in if there is room. These are nice and healthy very bushy full plants, I did a little LST on one of them just pulled it back a little to open it up some.

Day 15: Switched lights to 20/4 I overwatered them last week when I did the feeding, the fabric pots dry fast but this soil holds water well and I’m not used to planting into final sized pots like this either. It’s taking so long to dry out but I’m letting it. I’ve stopped misting obviously. Watching humidity and temps between lights on/off. Looking good. I will do the same light feeding as last week once the pots are dry enough but will make sure to only water the root area this time. I possibly stunted them a little but they are alive and learning is fun 😅 Halfway through the week update. They finally dried out and are now getting 25ml water per day, with feed. I added an oscillating fan. Temp and humidity seems to have stabilized now. Started to grow again but leaves stacked tightly. I’m playing with the lights, they are a bit strong for this stage I think. I turned off the extra 100w light leaving just the 270w on and they seem to have responded well overnight. Will turn it back on once they start taking off. I think I need to reconsider switching lights to 18/6 if I can figure out how to stabilize temps during lights out.

Happy palindromic 4202024. To help celebrate I’m starting a couple of Euphoria seeds and making the first diary entry of the season. This year i’m doing two photoperiod plants, starting today, and two autos that I’ll start in mid-May. Apr 22: moved into soil after about 48 h in 25 C water in the dark. Have a ripe apple beside the seeds under the foil because apparently the ethylene gas that is given off helps. Science paper I happened across last winter - will post reference when I remember. Apr 25: removed foil (and apple) and left on a 25 C heat mat beside a light that is going for tomatoes and peppers. Weak light, warmth, and high humidity is what they need at this stage.

In dieser Woche haben wir das letzte mal entlaubt und kleine Triebe entfernt. Ab jetzt lassen wir die Pflanzen in Ruhe und werden nur noch bedarfsgerecht düngen.Der Geruch wird auch etwas intensiver.Einige Blüten glitzern schon . Vorwiegend die Indica Sorten sind mit Kristall belegt. Heute habe ich mir einen Vaporisator bestellt. Mal sehen ob es was für mich ist. Bin ja wie gesagt Nichtraucher,möchte es aber wenigstens mal getestet haben. Könnt ihr euch noch an euer erstes Raucherlebnis erinnern? Habe als Automatik Caramel angebaut. Soll sehr köstlich und gut für Anfänger sein. Letzte Woche hatte ich eine Fortbildung zu medizinischen Cannabis und der Verordnungsfähigkeit von Hilfsmitteln zum Inhalieren.War sehr spannend und ich hoffe es setzt sich durch. Oft hilft es besser als die hochpotenten Medikamente welche auch einiges an Nebenwirkungen mit sich bringen. Bin als Krankenschwester in der Palliativmedizin unterwegs. Also Leute bleibt schön gesund und viel Spaß weiterhin beim Anbauen.

Week 5 done and dusted and these girls have started their flowering stage, stoked! This week has been a bit slow growing for them unfortunately, I've been super busy and haven't been tending to them as much as I would have liked. I started the week with an over water and then neglected them for a few days and and they dried right out. They were not looking happy. I then top dressed the girls with Herbi's all natural nutrients, 2.5 tablespoons of bloom and 2.5 of Veg mixed in with 5 tablespoons of Worm castings for each girl and i got back to regular watering. They've sprung back up to life but I can't help but think it's another bit of stunt they didn't need. I've bent this girl over and I'm continuously pulling her head over around the pot, just trying different techniques with each girl. Some light defoliation as well. She's hasn't had the best week but I'm hoping she bounces back soon Hope you had a good week, and thanks for checking in 🙏

Der Grow ist nun durch , bin mit dem gesamten Verlauf sehr zufrieden. Es gab nie Probleme, alles lief nach Plan. Es wurde kein großes Entlauben, noch Topping oder sonstiges gemacht, lediglich die großen Blätter wurden entfernt. Gesamtgenommen , würde ich es wieder so machen, es war einfach ein ruhiger entspannter Grow. Die Lampe von Greenception, der Dünger von Biotabs, und auch der Blumat, funktionierten super in einer Symbiose zusammen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis nicht riesig ist, ist es wie in der Vorwoche bereits erwähnt für mich absolut in Ordnung. Da ich nicht viel benötige und es mehr ein Hobby ist . Die gesamte Lichtleistung habe ich durch 3 geteilt, es sind schließlich 3 Pflanzen im Zelt, damit man ein korrektes Ergebnis erhält. Ich danke für die Free Seeds @SuperSativaSeedsClub, und kann Sie bedenkenlos weiterempfehlen. Rauch und Endergebnis werde ich selbstverständlich nachliefern. Das Nassgewicht beträgt 145gramm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The grow is now finished, and I am very satisfied with the entire process. There were never any problems; everything went according to plan. No major defoliation, topping, or other interventions were done; only the large leaves were removed. Overall, I would do it the same way again, as it was simply a calm and relaxed grow. The lamp from Greenception, the fertilizer from Biotabs, and the Blumat system worked perfectly together in symbiosis. Even though the result isn't huge, as I mentioned last week, it's absolutely fine for me. I don't need much, and it's more of a hobby. I divided the total light output by 3, as there are 3 plants in the tent, to get an accurate result. I thank SuperSativaSeedsClub for the free seeds and can recommend them without hesitation. I will, of course, provide updates on the smoke and final results. The wet weight is 145 grams. Die letzte Woche lief ebenfalls alles glatt. Habe das Wasser runter gedreht, und die Pflanze von ihren Resten zehren lassen . Bin sehr zufrieden, und bedanke mich bei SSSC für die gesponserten Samen.

In my opinion, the best moment for every farmer is approaching the final stages of flowering😍 This week, in addition to flowering supplements, I also used Bio Enhancer Feeding fertilizer at 1 g / l water🔥🔥💧💧 It is difficult to get it in my country, of course, and I bought one of these genetics (Cakes N Inhouse Genetics) for nearly $ 50.🛸🛸 And in this week, among these genetics that I have, cakes n cream is another thing and it is much better quality

This is week five of vegetative growth and the last week before I switch them to Flowering stage. So far the ABLE Grow Chamber is working as well as I could hope. I am growing three different types of Cannabis - Sapphire OG, GSC and one with unknown strain. The GSC was light burned early on and was very damaged but she pulled thru enough that I can make a clone or two from her. It wakes me happy knowing that the chamber can bring back a sick plant with minimal intervention from me. I have been training Daphni (name for the Sapphire OG) for a Sea of Green method and she is getting really good light penetration. For my Hydroponics I am using a Rain Forest 66 reservoir and it has worked well also. On 9-7-18 I made clones from Daphni in preparation for flowering in about 3 to 5 days.

Week 3 Veg Nothing has changed this week nutrient wise. All of the Surf Purp siblings are looking very happy and healthy. I usually try to have them transplanted into their next pot around day 20, but seeing as their next pot will be their final pot I'll leave them a little longer. Even though I'll be using fabric pots I don't want them to get too root bound too soon before flower. Thanks for following and happy growing! 🐺

12 day dry @ 58-63RH & 60-66F in blacked out dry tent | Glass Jar Cure with Inert gas Early taste test and I actually love this bud, is the best in house strain I've grown so far & the second Platinum cross. Flavorful Funky Sweet Orange cream cereal terps, the texture of the bud is buttery smooth, fluffy and pink/orange color when ground up. Bud has deeply potent effects that is IMO the perfect amount of heavy on the body but still euphoric and creative.. it makes you calm and happy! is checking off so many boxes not even cured, just smelling this batch makes a true connoisseur grin and bag appeal is insane

Week 3 has been great! We topped 2 Pre 98 Bubbas and 2 Dirty Blondes so far , 2 other Pre98 Bubbas will also get the topping but just gotta give them a few more days and they will be ready for it ! Once we have a little time of recovery, we will be topping all these ladies at least 2 or 3 more times so you all keep them eyes peeled! I hope you all enjoy an have an amazing productive week ! Peace love an positive vibes to all my Growmies out there Cheers 😶‍🌫️💨💨💨💨💨🤙🏻If there’s any questions, please ask I’ll be happy to answer ✌️🏻

Another good week ticked off... No sign of fungus gnats since the daily neem oil and diac...’ earth. Seems to have done the trick but I stay vigilant! All the girls starting to fill out a bit. And getting covered in trichomes. Pics don’t do justice even the stems are covered. The other 2 plants in the grow stretched crazy and a bit later than these. Happily I think they’ve stopped. Nothing exciting planned from here other than a top dress later this week and just watering and an odd compost tea till the finish. Thanks for reading, have a great week 😊

Training and defoliation, plus i decided to transplant two bench plants that were chillin in 500ml cups incase smth goes wrong with the rest but nothing went wrong ofc. So i transplanted them into 3 galons and supercropped so at least i get somewhat even tops. Plan is to veg them 7-10 days more and we go into flowering :)

What up Growmies, this one grew hella fast maturing in 9 weeks from seed to harvest fast. Buds is true to their name. This one has some serious resin on the flowers reminding me of some sort of a gelato Gorilla glue cross, but we shall see when it's released! I could be far off lol. I had no problems growing her. She was really easy and happy her whole life. She's a great one for extractions! Thank you grow diaries and thank you fastbuds for the opportunity to show the world my organic gardening skills! I appreciate all the support from the growing community here on grow diaries. Big thanks for my followers!
