Week 2 Flower 🍈🌱 This week the SCROG net went in, and it's officially time for the daily tuck-and-weave routine. Melonade-K is stretching hard, filling the net nicely, and throwing pistils across every top. She's drinking daily and responding really well to the training. I also transitioned her fully to Bloom nutrients, and she's staying healthy with great color and vigorous growth. Looking forward to seeing the stretch finish and the flowers start stacking. 🍈🔥

✨ Week 6 in bloom and our White Widow is pure poetry in motion — compact, dark, and sparkling with trichomes under her 11/13 light dance. She’s living proof that beauty and strength can thrive even under a 12-12 from seed rhythm. Join the journey, feel the energy, and come see her story unfold in 4K on YouTube. 🎥💚 🌿 White Widow – Week 6 Flower Lighting: 11/13 Shuttle (12-12 from Seed) Strain: White Widow by Zamnesia Grow Style: Living Super Soil + Aptus x Plagron Recipe Series: Ongoing on YouTube (in 4K 🎥) ⸻ 🌸 The Queen in Her Prime Our White Widow is officially in full bloom — Week 6 Flower, and she’s breathtaking. Compact, dark, resinous, and powerful — a perfect example of what’s possible when we trust the process. Her leaves are deep green, her buds are tight and frosty, and her structure shows the elegance of genetics and discipline combined. Despite being a 12/12 (11/13) from seed grow, she’s performing like a true photoperiod queen. Every detail on her — from the sugar-coated fan leaves to the symmetry of her bud sites — tells a story of health and balance. ⸻ 💡 The Emerson Effect — Science Meets Soul This week we’re diving deep into one of the coolest aspects of this grow: The Emerson Effect 🌞 Every morning, the red spectrum (around 660 nm) turns on 15 minutes before the main lights. Every evening, it stays on 15 minutes longer than the rest. Why? Because we’re mimicking nature — sunrise and sunset — and activating one of the most fascinating plant processes ever discovered. 🌱 What It Does The Emerson Effect is the enhanced rate of photosynthesis that occurs when red and far-red light (around 730 nm) are present together. In simple terms: red light excites one photosystem, far-red excites the other, and when both are active, the plant runs its photosynthesis engine at maximum efficiency. ⚗️ The Results • Faster and smoother metabolic transitions • Reduced light stress during on/off cycles • Increased photosynthetic efficiency • Denser, more resinous buds • Slightly faster maturity under 11/13 schedules We’re not just flipping lights — we’re syncing biology with physics. 🌞🌙 ⸻ ⚙️ Technical Deep Dive: Emerson Effect + 11/13 Light Shuttle For the enthusiasts — when using 11 hours of light and 13 of dark, you simulate tropical photoperiods where cannabis evolved naturally. This encourages faster flower initiation and more compact plant structure. By extending the far-red light 15 minutes on both sides of the cycle, we’re signaling the plant that the sun is just beyond the horizon. It’s like whispering: “Keep going a little longer, but rest well.” This combination strengthens the balance between flower hormone production (phytochrome response) and photosynthetic drive, leading to better overall bud development. Science + intuition = success. 🌿 ⸻ 💧 Feeding & Nutrition This week’s feeding schedule continues the successful Aptus x Plagron symbiosis. From Plagron: 🌸 Power Buds – flower development booster 🍯 Sugar Royal – enhancing aroma, oil, and terpene profile 💎 Green Sensation – late-phase bulking and resin enhancer From Aptus: 🌿 All-in-One Liquid – full-spectrum nutrition 💧 CalMag Boost – mineral support and stability ⚖️ Regulator – nutrient balance and plant stress protection Even with the soil’s natural nutrient reserve (NPK still holding around 5.75), we’re gently pushing — testing how much she can handle under this 12/12 rhythm. She’s loving it: no burn, no droop, no stress — just pure growth. ⸻ 🌡️ Environmental Conditions Even with 45°C (110°F) heat outdoors, the grow room remains stable and healthy thanks to proper airflow and control. 📊 Environment Stats: 🌡️ Temperature: 28–30°C 💧 Humidity: 55–60% ☁️ CO₂: 450–800 ppm (natural fluctuation) 📈 VPD: ~1.3–1.8 kPa This is near-perfect for mid-flower — warm enough to boost metabolism, yet steady enough to maintain trichome production. ⸻ 📸 Photos & Videos This week’s gallery includes: 📷 Detailed studio shots of her canopy and buds 🎥 Clips showing her daily environment 🌿 A moment of me sharing medicine with her — part of our daily ritual of connection and gratitude Screenshots from TrolMaster TM+ app, showing the red-light pre-dawn and sunset cycles Every frame captures her strength and personality. No micro lens this time, but the natural look says it all — she’s glowing. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect Next Expect: ✨ Buds bulking and trichomes stacking heavily 🌬️ Aroma deepening and resin turning more opaque 🌿 Leaf color possibly darkening further Not to Expect: 🌱 Any major new growth — stretch phase is over 🍂 Fade just yet — that will come closer to flush She’s now in the consolidation phase: weight, flavor, and resin. ⸻ 🌱 Quick Recap • Germination: After early setbacks, she became the solo survivor — and a star. • Veg: Compact and steady. • Transition: Adapted perfectly to 11/13 shuttle. • Early Flower: Tight nodes, dense frost. • Now: Week 6 — full bloom, full potential. ⸻ 🙏 Gratitude & Shoutouts 💚 Zamnesia – for the legendary genetics that started it all. 💧 Aptus – for consistent balance and vitality. 🌸 Plagron – for the boosters that bring color and resin to life. ⚙️ TrolMaster & ThinkGrow – for giving precision and control. 🌍 And most of all — to you, the readers, growers, friends, lovers, haters, and believers — thank you.

We’ve entered week eight, one of the final weeks, since the genetics I chose are listed as **8–9 weeks from seed to harvest**. I hope we’re close to the end, because the plants are becoming more and more stressed and I still can’t understand what the problem is. It almost seems like some kind of nutrient uptake lockout. For now, the maturation of the flowers doesn’t seem to be compromised, and the trichomes are starting to develop a nice color, although the buds still look a bit sparse. As with last week, Diesel is holding up well, even though she is also starting to show some leaf issues. I just hope this is due to the flowering stage. The others, however, seem to be getting worse, especially Sunset. Wedding Cake is maturing well, although the spots keep reappearing and some leaves are starting to yellow there too. Sunset, on the other hand, seems to have slowed down in maturation, and the leaves are getting worse and worse. I’m limiting defoliation because I don’t want to add more stress to a plant that is already suffering quite a lot. -------------------------------- **End of W8 Update:** Thanks to the help of this amazing community, Sunset and Wedding have recovered really well! Diesel, on the other hand, is still struggling, but due to my lack of experience I can’t really tell whether it’s just because it’s reaching the end of its cycle, or if the care I gave didn’t bring the results I was hoping for. The buds seem pretty mature now, they’re getting richer in terpenes and reaching a good size, but I’m also wondering whether the treatments I gave this plant may have made the situation worse. I’ll update you again in the next few days! And if you have any advice, guys, drop it in the comments — it’s always more than welcome!

Happy Easter Everyone! Time for an update During week 10 NEW LIGHT installed!! ViparSpectra XS2000. So excited! I think the plants are a little shocked from the change in light but hopefully they recover just fine. This week 3 of the plants definitely started showing some issues I have never had before. I started noticing rust spots on the upper top leaves of the plants which I believe was the consequence of the following... A.Nutrient lockout B. Soil PH too low from over fertilization C. Soil PH being too low due to the peat moss in the growing medium. I have purchased dolomite lime as an organic alternative to properly balance soil PH for my next grow. I did do a light flush with PHd water at 6.5. Plan for week 11 Going to be adding some Calcium to the soil during next watering to see if that helps new growth on the plants (Tuesday) At this point I will be just keeping an eye on more rust spots forming on the leaves. I have backed off on adding more P & PK at this time because I think I over fertilized last time. I am learning a lot still with every week of this grow. I know now how to dial in the nutrients and better amending soil first. Since my soil has peat moss I think that had a lot to do with the acidity as it breaks down. Really hoping these girls continue to finish out okay! Thinking that they will take the full 14/15 weeks at this point.

5 Tage Zelt , aber ich glaub ich trenn da noch einige dinge . alles recht fett geworden . So vom 4 Tag im Trockenzelt mal Photos gemacht. DAs ist also die aktuelle Budgröße . Eine sehr fluffige Sorte !!! Es ist endlich Zeit fakten zu schaffen . Die Ernte hat glatt ein 5 Liter Messbecher gefüllt und hat dabei 145 Gramm erbracht. Die Buds sind eher fluffig als fest . Ein gutes Beispiel dafür das die Buds zwar riesig aussehen , aber eigentlich nichts wiegen. Obwohl das optisch mein Größter Grow war, ist die Erntemenge doch weit aus geringer ausgefallen . Geschmack ist kräftig würzig mit einer Methol Note . Die Trichome sind von einem Sidebud genommen. So wirklich gut getroffen hab ich den Erntezeitpunkt nicht . Aber es klebt und klebt und klebt . Einfach perfekt fürs Vapen durch meine Wasserpfeife .

Video and pics were taken at the end of the 9th week, I was away on holiday and let me brother-in-law do the honors of looking after this beaut! Plant had performed a self-topping during my time away. It allowed for 2 colas to pop out from the top.

"My Blackberry Moon Rocks plants are looking awesome, especially that one I decided to leave alone. It's got so much branching, I think it might take over the whole room! And that other plant with the stacked-up branches? It's gonna have some serious nugs. Can't wait to see how huge they get."

First day of week 7 Mimozz and Grandpa's Cookies are ready 😅 It's crazy how fast they developed. 😎 Two plants of Cherry Atomic Sledgehammer are getting there. Should be ready at end of week 8. Strawberry Cough will probably need 12 weeks to fully mature - but she'll be monster! Can't wait to see her later. 😈
