🌱 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.

Base nutrients were reduced and PK 13/14 increased. So far she seems to take the change well. The buds keep swelling and are already rock-hard.

Pheno 1 dark purple : On the nose, it reveals a sharp burst of fresh lemon, layered with a powerful eucalyptus aroma that’s both invigorating and camphorous. A truly refreshing and vibrant terpene profile😈🍋 Pheno 2 Green : this one is a real surprise! If I close my eyes, it’s like Nutella! It’s as if you’ve just walked into a kitchen where hazelnuts have been freshly roasted 🤤🌰 Pheno 3 light purple : It’s a mix of the first two with a hint of amarena cherry at the end🍒🍧

End of week 2 on day 14 (photos). On day 11 or 12 the roots emerged from the net pot and hit the reservoir at water level (see video). I didn't notice it until day 12 however. No environmental changes. She looks healthy and happy.

Vegetation Week 5: Topping, Pistil Puzzles & the All-Mix Countdown Update: 14.04.2025 Hey Growmies! Week 5 brought some plot twists and big moves! Let’s unpack the story. Current Highlights: Topping & Tiny Pistils Topping Done Right: Both ladies got their first topping this week! Cut the main stem carefully with disinfected scissors above Node 5. Let’s see how they recover from that, but I guess they’re big enough to take that blow like champs. Durban’s Pistil Surprise: Spotted early pistils (white hairs) on the Durban – wait, already?! Stay calm: Durban Poison is photoperiod, so this isn’t full flowering. Likely causes: Light stress? Double-check nighttime darkness during “indoor curfew” – even small light leaks can confuse photoperiods. Longer days in late April/May will keep her in veg. No need to panic! What do you guys think? Have you experienced pre-flower this early under sunlight? Nutrient Needs Rising: Lower leaves on the Blueberry show faint lighter green hues – Biobizz Light Mix is running low on juice. Next move: Transplant into Biobizz All-Mix (richer in nutrients) after topping recovery. ______________________ Chapter Update: Garden Bed Prep – Building Their Forever Home This week’s big project: Prepping the outdoor spots where these ladies will live their best lives! Here’s the dirt: - Holes Dug: Two 50x50x50cm pits (perfect for root freedom!). - Soil Mix: - 20L Biobizz Worm Humus – worm-powered nutrient gold. - 20L Biobizz All-Mix – for structure and organic goodness. - Homemade Compost – loaded with worms, horn shavings (slow-release nitrogen), and lime (pH balance). - Why It’s Lit: This mix is a 100% organic buffet – worms till the soil, microbes feed the roots, and the girls get everything they need to explode in summer! ______________________ Chapter Update 2: Pot Upgrades & Root Magic Update: 15.04.2025 (Day 39) Today’s mission: New shoes for the ladies! The Trigger: Noticed the first true leaves hinting at hunger (fading green, subtle yellow whispers) – Biobizz Light Mix had given its all. Time for a nutrient boost! The Process: - Pot Upgrade: Swapped their 0.27L cups for 1.5L plastic pots (hello, legroom!). - Soil Mix: - 2:1 All-Mix to Worm Castings – All-Mix for structure, worm goodies for microbes. - Root Reveal: Popped the old pots off – root porn alert! Creamy-white tendrils everywhere, with fuzzy mycorrhizal hyphae hugging them like a snug sweater. - Myco Re-Up: Dusted the root ball’s “four corners” with fresh myco powder (symbiosis 2.0!). - Tomato Trick: - Removed the lowest node’s leaves and tiny side branches. - Planted them deeper to bury part of the stem – this’ll spark new roots along the buried stem (works like a charm for tomatoes, so why not cannabis?). ______________________ Catch ya next week: Stay grounded, stay growing… and stay blazing! – Smoking_Joe_Frazier

It's been an interesting week. I had to ask for help with resolving the intense smell coming from my garden... I can smell it from my driveway at this point.. I was advised that I probably turned my fan up way too high, which overloads the carbon filter on the end of my exhaust. I ordered another new one.. turned it down.. and I also had to cut down the cheese auto... all her trichomes were cloudy bit I definatly could have left her for another week... just couldn't handle the smell lol. Ask for help and you shall receive, thanks Growdiaries. And thank you Oozlefinch for the solid advise.. ✌️ I bought a rosin press this week and it's awesome.. she will be used for this grow as soon as things are ready. I cut out my backyard to plan for round #3 for all these plants.. plus a whole lot more! Process/ Environment changes: -Turned down my exhaust fan.. the carbon filter can't keep up with the amount of air being pushed through it.. in the water industry we would call this 'short circuiting'.... The Gorilla cookies is growing well. It's a tall plant with long nugs ( I hope the full out a lot more). I would recommend supporting the branches at this point in the grow. There's a slight smell coming off her and trichome production was late to start compared to most the other plants I have... I suspect she will go past 90 days unfortunately, but I'm excited to see what the finished product looks like. Hitting her with compost teas at a pH of around 6.7 That's it.. I'm on auto pilot at this point.. there's not much I can do except sit back and wait. Thank you Fastbuds

Back again for another update from down under. Well Its been a week of unusual weather here-actually most of Australia is having bizarre weather ATM with flooding rains mixed in with high 30's heat and damaging winds. This is in part why I now grow more smaller and better trained plants rather than a couple of larger tree's. One bad storm can literally snap a tree in half so unless your ladies are protected from the wind you WILL have issues outside. Train them, keep them low to the ground and stake them just to be safe ok. Mine are just greening up and bushing out nicely this week, not much more to report other than wondering how much longer before they show me those lil white hairs-cmon ladies its nearly feb and your not flowering yet? Any day now im sure. Hash plant is growing a 1-2cms a day easily, ZkittleZ is bulking up now while Caramelo just seems to be growing more and more shoots-Not used to sativias grown like this-do I cut some off to improve quality or leave em alone to improve quantity? I cant even count how many heads there are now. But the big news is my lemon haze variegated X sour Diesel hybrid seems to be staying female so far- no leaf color at all but the first 3rd gen hybrid that doesnt look like either parents but more of a middle ground of the two, its stayed female so far!! Normally only the ones that looked really sour D like stayed female but this one has a lighter leaf color than normal Sour Ds, but also more the leaf shape of the lemon haze side. Please stay female lil miss. See ya all next week.
