21 september She is really close. Weather forecast is pretty good the last part of this week. She has 3 or 4 more sunny days to go. After that she will be harvested in steps. Big first, bottom second. Probably couple of days in between. Same process for all my plants. MAROC was also harvested like this during the past week. It was a tense few weeks with all the rain we had. I had to cut out some buds to keep mould from taking over but i managed to keep the damage under control. Biggest surprise was that fungi now grow underneath the plant as well, not just in the buds😅 Lovely sight to see!!

Week six. She is probably about ready to flip to flower. I did some defoliation and cut some lower branches to root clones. This thing is bushy as fuuuuu, even after my fan disaster damaging her! I am doing some LST on lower branches and will SCROG as best I can when I flip to flower. She is happy and healthy right now. No issues. Humidity in the tent has been a bit high so I may have to get a dehumidifier in the tent soon. This strain has been putting out the prettiest ridged leaves. Ive been having a blast taking artsy photos of them lol

🌸 White Widow — Week 4 of Flower (12/12–11/13 From Seed) Stage: Week 4 Flower (full flower, no stretch left) Structure: Compact plant, building a tall main cola (~25 cm target) + tidy “golf-ball” side colas Frost: Already impressive; trichomes thickening across tops and sugar leaves Watering: Hand watering (by feel; no runoff chasing) Light routine: Still running the red-on/red-off sunrise/sunset via TrolMaster (15 min before/after) ⸻ Quick Recap (for anyone just joining) • Germination: We lost the first batch (uneven heat mat, my mistake). We restarted and this solo survivor is the one you see now. • Veg under 11/13: She stayed compact and stubbornly vegged a while before showing preflower, great node stacking. • Early flower: Bud set → second flower push → now deep into Week 4 with clear, even sites top to bottom. • Environment: Room was hot early on; AC install stabilized temps and RH. Plants never showed stress, credit to genetics, steady care, and balanced feed. ⸻ 🍽️ Nutrition (this week) We’ve removed Top Booster completely. Current, steady recipe: • Aptus Regulator – supports cell strength, transport efficiency, and stress tolerance • Aptus CalMag Boost – LED + coco/active soil insurance for Ca/Mg/Fe availability • Plagron Power Buds – encourages compact flower set at each node • Plagron Sugar Royal – metabolic push (N-based aminos) to drive energy use + aroma precursors • Plagron Green Sensation – balanced late-flower support (PK + organics/biostims) for density, oil, and finish • Aptus All-in-One Liquid – (still in) gentle full-spectrum base; likely to taper/stop soon as the soil biology carries more of the load Why this mix now? Week 4 is the “early swell” window: calyx initiation shifts into mass formation. We’re keeping Ca/Mg steady for membrane integrity and photosynthesis under strong LED; using Power Buds to keep sites tight, Sugar Royal to feed metabolism and terpenes, Green Sensation to support density/oils, and Regulator to keep the plant efficient under heat/PPFD. All-in-One remains as a safety net while the super soil’s biology fully ramps, then it can step back. ⸻ 🔬 Plant Development (what’s happening physiologically) • Stretch is done. Auxin dominance recedes; energy diverts to calyx swelling and trichome biosynthesis. • Trichomes rising. Expect a marked increase in capitate-stalked heads on bracts and sugar leaves from now through Week 6–7. • Carb sink strength. Flowers become the primary sink; steady water + balanced EC will keep turgor and bulking clean. ⸻ 💡 Light & Rhythm • Sunrise/sunset with reds (TrolMaster): 15 min before and after the white/blue block to smooth transitions and lean into the red/far-red synergy. • Target PPFD/DLI: With shorter photoperiods (11–12 h), aim ~700–800 µmol·m⁻²·s⁻¹ to land a DLI ~28–32 mol·m⁻²·day⁻¹—a sweet spot for mid-flower without forcing heat stress. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment (steady and sensible) • Temps/RH: Now stable since AC: ~28 °C and mid-60s %RH previously reported—great for mid-flower resin and growth when airflow is strong. • VPD: Around 1.3–1.4 kPa is ideal for Week 4 bulk—keeps stomata active, minimizes mold risk, and preserves turgor. • CO₂: Natural room swings are fine at this stage; plant responses are telling us she’s happy. ⸻ 👀 What to Expect Next (Week 5–6) • Calyx stacking & mass gain on the main cola and those side “golf balls.” • Frost explosion: More trichomes and a greasy feel on sugar leaves. • Aroma lift: Expect that classic White Widow earthy-spice to start pushing out. What not to expect • Height—she’s done stretching. • True ripening signals (amber heads, heavy fade) — too early. • Big defoliation needs, she’s compact; keep leaves that drive sugars unless a leaf blocks airflow or a bud site entirely. ⸻ Grower’s Tips (why the choices matter) • No Top Booster now: Keeps K spikes in check; prevents Ca/K antagonism and tip burn while the plant is setting long-term resin factories. • Keep Ca/Mg consistent: Under strong LEDs, Ca deficits appear suddenly in fast-bulking weeks. Stay ahead, not behind. • Watering style: Hand watering gives you feel-level control over moisture fronts and prevents swings—perfect for a compact, single-plant showcase. ⸻ 🙏 Gratitude & Shoutouts 🌱 Zamnesia Seeds — for the living legend, White Widow 💧 Aptus Holland — clean, precise fundamentals (Regulator, CalMag, All-in-One) 🌸 Plagron — Power Buds, Sugar Royal, Green Sensation driving flower expression 💡 ThinkGrow & Future of Grow (Black Series 600W) — power + uniformity for dense stacking 🧠 TrolMaster — the ecosystem that lets us choreograph sunrise/sunset and keep the room steady …and you, reading and riding along.

Crazy growth. Just crazy. The rest of the ladies are up on pots to try and keep the canopy as level as possible. She is super thirsty and is needing her nutrients upped. The training has really paid off, she has a cracking canopy. Looking forward to seeing her develop 😎

Yes gromies I gave her canna boost for the first time today I'm giving around 600ml de-chlorinated water every 2 days, il aways feed every 2 days spreading all different nutrients between them, get a nice balance, watering just enough so the coco goes dry after 2nd day well on top atleast anyway. Giving silica on its own once a week 0.5ml to 600ml water ph'd to 6. Removed a few lower leaves and pegged back 2 branches to make room for the many colas now coming threw nicely. Not sure how this grow is going! it feels slow upto now but she's well into flower now and the stretch is real... Added midweek.. I could feel her asking for phosphorus and potassium so gave her a little tickle of PK13/14 (0.5 To 500ml ph'd to 6). 1 feed. Going vertical and filling budding sites nicely. 😛. Raised the light for more vertical growth before she puts some weight on. 😉. Thanks for taking your time out to view my diary. Peace and love 💚

Привет друзья. Моей растихе сегодня 71 день. Был в отъезеде, не поливал. В связи этим растение не много подсохло. Как придёт в чувства. переведу на цвет. Начал применять LST технику на 19 дне и продалжаю применять её через день, а 18 августа добавил ДЕФОЛИЗАЦИЮ С 20.08 ДЕФОЛИЗАЦИЮ делаю каждые 3,4 дня С 20.08 LST технику делаю каждые 4.6 дней На сегодняшний день влажность 54% 26 дней назад заметил высокий Ph 7.9 С 48 дня Ph не ниже 5.8 На сегодняшний день Ph 6.0 Начал кормить с 60 дня Canna Terra Vega PPM 550 Погладитель влажности, выполняет свои функции. Посмотрю на динамику. Всем мира и добра! https://t.me/smail_seeds #Smail_Seeds

Very happy overall, had some difficulties hitting the sweet spot through the cycle but managed to pull it through brilliantly at the end. This is definitely a very deserty and cookie like strain. Oven baked freshness!

I'm going away for 30 days about a week into this grow. I'm going to automate weeks 1 through 5 by using the Blumat watering system along with the automated fan from AC Infinity. Hopefully, these will keep things going while I'm gone. I've never used the Blumat products before and I'm excited to see their potential. If I succeed, I'll return to happy 5-week old plants. If not, I'll have to start a new grow...which is what I was going to do anyway. I have nothing to lose but a couple of seeds. Let's get this automated grow started. Day 1 - I placed the seeds directly in a fist-sized clump of Coast of Maine Seed Starter soil that was then placed in a 3-gallon pot full of Coast of Maine Stonington Blend. This will ensure the seedling doesn't get exposed to the nutrient-rich soil too soon. I set the light 2 feet above the top of the pots so they have room to grow into the 18" to 12" range. I also set the light strength to 60% during germination. The temperature in the tent remained 75 degrees and humidity was 70%. I also covered the soil over the germinating seeds with mason jars to act as humidity domes. Day 4 - Both pots sprouted this morning. I immediately removed the mason jar humidity domes. I also increased the light to 70% strength and installed the Blumat watering system to help me keep things growing while I'm gone.

Day 70: Want to know how the trichomes are looking on my OG Kush, they look pretty clear to me but not 100%🤷‍♂️🏼 any feedback would be great, this OG is about 10 weeks old from seed, there was some temp issues, and nutrients locks but still going strong I believe.

6/21 Wellllllllll she is still yellowing out like crazy. Very very very hungry girl. Moved the lights down to pull out some purp. I hardly have to defoliate at this point since she is consuming so many of her own leaves. I just carefully pull out the crispy leaves. 6/25 She is still yellowing out and is extremely hungry. Ive been feeding more than the recommended amount and shes still showing deficiencies. If you are growing in coco, i recommend you dont flush this girl. If youre running RO water, definitely dont flush this girl. Shes hungry till finish, no doubt. The trichomes are ridiculous on her. Ridiculous. Ive never seen more frost on a cannabis plant. Ever. She just keeps putting on more and more weight and frost. All of her leaves are sprayed in trichomes. The picture i just uploaded is from today. Although her trichomes are still mostly milky, i think she is nearing the end of her life. I will be uploading more pics tonight and a video to show all the foxtailing she is doing. All of her buds, even the ones down below, have the exact same pyramid-with-crown structure. Beautiful. A+++++ ____PS____ Here she is in all her glory folks. I took a bunch of photos and a video to show her sputnik-crown structure and stacked trichomes. You can see the green girls in preflower in the background for reference of color developement. She is going to be finished very very soon. Man, i cannot wait to harvest and cure this girl.

Going into the final week of flower, will be harvesting the next week. Buds are super dense and frosty! Purple Queen is sweet and sticky while the Girl Scout Crack is more pungent and stinky.
