🌿 White Widow – Week 5 Flower (12/12 from Seed) This week marks a very special stage in the journey of our legendary White Widow. She’s fully into flower mode now, and what a sight she is. Her structure remains compact and elegant, but her buds are bulking beautifully. The trichomes are already covering her in a frosty layer, and her pistils stand out with those iconic, vibrant white hairs that give her such presence. Her leaves are a deep, rich green, almost darker than the sisters around her. This makes me wonder if she might show us some darker expressions as the weeks progress. It’s one of those fascinating mysteries of White Widow, you never really know until she decides to reveal it. ⸻ 💧 Feeding & Nutrition This week’s recipe combines Plagron and Aptus inputs, working hand in hand: • Plagron • Power Buds → flower formation boost • Sugar Royal → metabolism & terpene support • Green Sensation → bulking, quality, and finishing power • Aptus • All-in-One Liquid → full-spectrum base feed • CalMag Boost → structural support & deficiency prevention • Regulator → stress resistance & nutrient uptake enhancer 💡 Even though the super soil is reading around 5.75 NPK and already contains nutrients, we’re boosting her further because this girl is on a 12/12 (11/13) from seed shuttle. Her timeline is faster, so we want to see how far she can go and what she can take without stress. This is a balancing act, pushing her potential while respecting her limits. ⸻ ⚖️ 12/12 from Seed vs. Normal Veg + Flower Cycle For those joining now, here’s why White Widow looks the way she does: • Normal Cycle (Veg + Flower): • Weeks of 18/6 light first → plants grow tall, with big root systems. • 12/12 flip triggers stretch → often 2–3× size increase. • 12/12 (or 11/13) from Seed: • No long veg phase → plant stays smaller and more compact. • Buds start forming early → less size, but quicker cycles. • Ideal for experiments, time-saving, or small grows. 👉 Our White Widow is a prime example: compact frame, dense cola, side branches forming golf-ball buds. Small in stature, but already showing big personality. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment • Temperature: ~28–30°C • Humidity: ~57–60% • VPD: ~1.3–1.9 kPa • Light: Balanced spectrum & PPFD, designed for resin production & compact growth She has stayed stress-free despite the warm climate, showing her resilience. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect (and Not to Expect) Expect: • Buds bulking even further, stacking on that main cola and side branches. • Trichomes and frost building up week after week. • Aromas starting to get stronger as resin production increases. Not to Expect: • Major vertical stretch → she has chosen her form and will stay compact. • Quick finish → White Widow is a classic that takes her time to do things right. ⸻ 🗓️ Timeline Recap – From Seed to Week 5 Flower • Week 1: Germination → mistakes with the heat mat, but one strong survivor carried the torch. • Week 2: Settled into soil, fed gently while super soil activated. • Week 3: Compact growth, strong nodes, and healthy green structure. • Week 4: Transition into flower → bud sites forming, frost beginning. • Week 5 (Now): Full flower mode → trichomes sparkling, pistils shining, cola building beautifully. ⸻ 🙏 Gratitude & Community • 🌱 Huge thanks to Zamnesia for these legendary genetics. • 💧 Appreciation to Aptus and Plagron for powering this run with balanced nutrition. • 💡 Shout-out to the gear teams supporting the light and control setup. • ❤️ And, as always, gratitude to you — the community.

Its been pretty smooth this week, only mistake was that the light was to close so I got lightburn and bleaching on 2 tops, lesson learned. The SF4000 is still put at 85% and im still slowly cutting down the nitrogen, im currently feeding 2:1:1 ratio of (4-18-38/magnesium sulphate/calcium nitrate)

Mucha humedad ambiente y una ligera humedad radicular 👌🍀👨‍🌾

Super stoked on my fastbuds420 run This one has been absolutely one of my favorites💯

Hello! By the end of the third week everything is fine. My room has high humidity, but the ventilation seems to cope. But i can water less often 😏 Thank you for stopping by, and be healthy! 🙏 To be continued... 😶

**** Wed 8 Jan - day 57 **** Nothing to report yet **** Fri 10 Jan - day 59 **** Red plant is looking near the finish - decided to try a bit of defoliation - see pics She's about a foot high but lots of bud - a little bonsai wonder I now realize it's using the flash makes all the bud look so frosty... ! Actually there are lots of nice colors coming through in the buds, and a little purple in the leaves Giving Black a bit longer before I do the same **** Mon 13 Jan - day 62 **** I gave Black a bit of a trim the other day - she's about 40 cm and must weigh double the other Red is looking very close to finish - see today's video No feeding of any kind Water is from the tap at PH 7, they are drinking a liter a day, Black a bit more even **** Tue 14 Jan - day 63 **** The top of Red is starting to show some blueberry colors - now I'm interested in what happens if I leave her longer Both seem to have stopped growing some time ago - maybe concentrating on flowering Black plant is I guess a week behind Red, but Red really peaked early Looking forward to the final stages Having done scientific tests, I can affirm this is going to be pretty good That's week 9, cheers all

The start of week 3 veg I’ve been LSTing the plant I notice development drastically every 12hrs and now just starting to spot the development of side branches and new nodes I am following shogun nutrient schedu

Day 60F The PM on the cheese has gotten significantly worse in the last few days. I think it may have something to do with the constant humidity spikes every time I water. I haven’t been running my humidifier at all in flower so maybe it’s having trouble keeping the RH up during lights on. Just another reason to follow a daily watering schedule. The cheese and slurricane look fucking disgusting and I’m starting to doubt that a peroxide wash can totally fix it. It worked well for my outdoor crop so it should be fine but this time there is probably 3x the amount. I’ll make sure to really soak the buds and rinse them off good. Bbb#1 is flopping over like crazy from the weight. Too late to stake it up now so hopefully it holds until next week. Starting to foxtail a bit but nothing too bad. It is now 100% done and ready for chop. Bbb#2 is just getting frostier and frostier by the day. The purple fade is really coming along nicely too. Might reveg. It is now 100% done and ready for harvest. Black garlic #1 is finally filling out! I can’t believe it. Never heard of a plant packing weight on like that in week 8. The breeder did mention that it packs on weight later but I’m stunned. Taking her to 9.5 weeks. Black garlic #2 is looking very average. Average color, average size buds, average frost, average smell, probably an average yield. And it’s starting to get a bit of PM. Overall not happy. Will be taking her to 9.5 weeks. Zkittlez #1 has pleasantly surprised me. It was a bushy runt in veg but came through. It’s the third frostiest in the tent, super dense, stacked tight, smells great and looks great. It’s already got a nice amount of amber so it’s 100% ready for chop. Slurricane #4 looks insanely frosty even under all that PM. If I can’t wash it off it’s going in the trash. I want to chop this asap but have to cut everything at once unfortunately. It’s 100% ready for harvest. Badazz OG cheese is looking like a decent yielder but doesn’t have much else going for it. I think it still has some filling out to do. I can’t even smell the final profile change yet. The leaves are rotting off very quickly. Taking her 9.5 weeks. I don’t mind harvesting a bit later rather than early. From my outdoor experience, when a plant is picked early it smells like hay and wet grass clippings until it’s been curing for 3 weeks. When I harvest late or at 30-50% amber trichomes it smells like same scent profile it had when growing. Just my experience. I’ve read that the tobacco industry adds calcium and potassium carbonate to their crops to help promote fire holding capacity and to increase the whiteness of ash. Turns out some of the organic amendments I bought last week contain exactly that. I’m going to give each plant a light top dress to see if the tobacco industry is onto something.

Va muy bien, ya alcanzo su altura máxima al parecer, está mostrando sus colores, muy bonitos 🌈🌱🔥 ahora solo a engordar esos cogollos, huele delicioso a frutos cítricos 😋

3/21/22 Switched from Bonnie to Clyde, added bud booster as well. Turned on air domes and added a trellis net too! This run is going very well.

. 🌱 : 💧 : 4l day 63, 4l day 65, 4l day 67, 4l day 69 💡 : Dli: 40 mol/m²/d 🤔 :

Some strains/cuts just need to be grown back to back, so far all 3 of these qualify. This strain is on track to run a little longer than most of the crop with the flush atleast a week away but I can already tell it will be worth the extra time. 2 and 3 are on the left and 1 is the tall one on the front right. They have a pungent creamy vanilla frosting like nose on them. All are very consistent in bud structure they are just put together very nicely. From this crop and my last crop only I think I could fill a 4x8 with fire using one of each plant in 3 gallon bags. This is the main reason why I prefer photoperiods these days other than the fact they are generally easier to grow, I like being able to run the same plant back again when they are at this level you cant go wrong. I had a wisdom tooth taken out today so I'm gonna have some time to take some good pics I think which is over due if anyone wants to check back in when the cover photo changes. Rain science grow bags are far and away the best bags I've used and if you want to try them they are inexpensive and you get 10% with the code bangdang. Took the pics on Saturday with my 40mm free hand without any extra lighting just the flash

Week 13, Flower (Day 53 12/12) So a little bit of a hissy fit the last week. I'm gunna put it down to temps getting too low it's the only thing I can put my finger on. I started to see new growth almost like re-veg out the tops of the bud and I started to see a deficiency creep in which I diagnosed as calcium. I'm still not 100% on whats caused the re-veg and have asked a few growers, some have put it to genetics and this is a mutation of some sort. Anyway on a more positive note, getting super sticky full of resin on every leaf. As soon as the tent is opened it stinks the entire house out. Very powerful terps coming through and I still have a good couple weeks left in it. Purples and red also coming through now. Buds getting very heavy. Will be needing yoyos/supports for this girl.

Nicole kush ya es conocida dentro de mi carpa y en todo el mundo. una planta muy vigorosa, su aroma dulce y cítrico deleita incluso a los que no entienden el cannabis. Su sabor denso y refrescante queda grabado en la mente del experimentador. Una hermosa y transformadora planta con flores. Tendré esta joya en mi jardín en otras ocasiones.

Buenas Farmers! Otra semana más y pasaremos a Flora, esperando a ver si podemos obtener nuevo equipo de @todoGrowled para llevar el verano más llevadero... Después de recuperase de las Plagas empieza coger buen color esto.🍁

Day 51 - Stour Stomper 1 is looking very frosty, excited for her to start swelling. The runt is just a little behind but still looking great. 4AM1 really chunked up quickly, quite far ahead of 4AM2. Getting pretty stinky in there. Some lower leaf issues but nothing devastating.
