Have yellowing on tips of new growth. Also some discoloration on older leaves. Havent been able to narrow it down yet what it could be. Using ro water with calimagic ph'd to 6.0. And feeding 1 tbsp for a 5 gal bucket with organic blackstrap molasses once a week.

Greetings, fellow growers! Welcome back to another exciting update on the journey of our beloved P.C.R.s. Week 4 of veg has been nothing short of spectacular, and I'm thrilled to share all the juicy details with you. After the successful transplant into their final homes, our girls are thriving like never before. The transition was seamless, thanks to careful preparation and attention to detail. I made sure to clean up our 3x3 tent thoroughly, leaving no corner untouched. LED lights, fans, and all equipment received a deep cleanse to ensure a pristine environment for our precious plants. Now, let's talk numbers. The TDS levels are holding steady at 470, indicating a perfect balance of nutrients for optimal growth. pH levels are sitting comfortably at 5.8, while the temperature remains a cozy 19 degrees Celsius for watering. These ideal conditions provide the perfect foundation for our PCRs to flourish. Speaking of lighting, let's delve into the ViparSpectra P2000—a true gem in our grow arsenal. This LED grow light is a game-changer, providing the perfect spectrum of light for every stage of plant growth. From vegetative to flowering, the ViparSpectra P2000 delivers consistent, high-quality light that promotes healthy development and robust yields. But the benefits don't stop there. The ViparSpectra P2000 is also incredibly energy-efficient, ensuring maximum output with minimal energy consumption. Plus, its compact design makes it the perfect fit for our 3x3 tent, delivering uniform coverage without any hot spots or shadowing. Now, let's circle back to the importance of cleanliness in the grow room. A thorough clean-up not only promotes better plant health but also helps prevent pests, diseases, and other potential problems down the line. By starting with a clean slate, we set ourselves up for success and pave the way for a bountiful harvest. In conclusion, Week 4 of veg has been a triumph on all fronts. Our PCRs are thriving, our grow environment is pristine, and our ViparSpectra P2000 is lighting the way to greatness. With each passing day, I'm more excited than ever to see what the future holds for our green beauties. Until next time, happy growing, and may your harvests be plentiful!

✨ 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. This community keeps the passion alive. ⸻ 🎥 Watch in 4K on YouTube 🌿 The full White Widow 12/12 from Seed Series is live in 4K resolution on YouTube.

In week 9 my TRICHOME-WONDERS are doing GREAT! All plants continue to grow new flower crowns all over the plants. The branches starts to form colas now...its an impressive sight. The healthy green color and speedy devlopment tells me that the BIO-TABS nutrient tablets are still doing a FINE JOB! I love how convenient and time-saving my waterings are, since the plants ONLY GET PURE TAB-WATER. No more measuring and adjusting ph- and EC-levels feels like a LIBERATION...lol 😄 A few plants like the Strawberry-Sour-Siesel from DevilHarvestOriginal-Seeds are getting so tall, that I need to control their height. My favorite method to do this is SUPER-CROPPING! This is a method promoted by SOMA from SOMA-Seeds and works perfectly to control the height of a plant without having to top her. I pinch the main-stem of the plant (appr. 25-30 cm from the top, right above a node) all around in a circle, so hard that I can feel the fibers inside brake. Then I bend the top part of the stem downwards (ar at least 90 degrees to the side) and let it hang there. The plant will start to heal the stem where it was pinched (it will form an elbow-like shape) and turn the bent part of the stem upwards again. During this time the side-branches grow further in height and the plant will get bushier instead of taller. After the stem repaired itself, the buds on it will turn towards the lights as well and will continue to flower. This way I can control the height and still harvest the top-buds later.

All plants are topped at the 3rd node, the 2 sides shoots will become the main branches. Adding the Enzymes to the menu. I will transplant during the next week , I can see the roots coming out the drains holes at the bottom of the pots, meaning it’s the right time to give them more space to keep the growth rate and to avoid any root bounds that will stunt the plants ! Switching to a 600w HID MH extra-Blue to give more light coverage and more space to grow. ( I’m looking for a job in the Cannabis industry as Master Grower, Mineralogist, Quality Control 🐞 )

Week 6 - Week without surprises. No-till cycle working well, watering only with water, but note that the companion plants still grow crooked. Soon the soil still shows signs of excesses, I believe that in the next cycles these excesses will be fixed. Hugz from Brazil.

Happy 2 Months To These Lovely Ladies. I Will Be Harvesting The Purple Purple On Friday, I Wanted To Harvest It Today But The Soil Is Not Fully Dry Out And I Don’️t Want To Harvest It When The Soil Is Still Wet. I Bought A Pocket Microscope To Check The Trichomes And Although There Are Only Literally Only 1 Or 2 Amber Trichomes On The Purple Power Some Of The Upper Buds Are Showing Signs Of Overripe By Getting Dry & Crispy And Stretching Apart. I Will Be Taking Off Most Of The Fan Leaves On The Girls Scout Cookies (5gal) And The Gorilla Glue For Better Light Penetration. The Flowering 5 Have Such Lovely Scents Coming Off Them From Sweet Berries And Pine To Different Types Of Lemon I Just Love When I When The Tent Is Close Up And I Open It And All The Flavours Just Hits Me All At Once. The Lemon OG From MSNL Is Now Over The 100cm Mark It’️s Now At 104cm(Proud Moment). Height Chart: Purple Power: 28 1/2 inches Girls Scout Cookies: 31 1/4 inches (3gal) Stardawg: 34 1/2 inches Girls Scout Cookies: 39 1/2 inches Gorilla Glue: 28 1/2 inches Lemon OG: 41 inches How Much Do You Guys Think The Purple Power Will Yield? How Much Longer Do You Think The Girls Scout Cookies(3gal) & Stardawg Has Before It Is Time To Harvest?

Day 47: LSD 25 is really starting to smell amazing! Notes of pine, citrus and sweet berry.
