27/04/22 CONTEST TIME! 😍 I'm very happy to announce that I've been selected for "Best Diary of the Year - Edition 2022" 😍😍😍🎉 Third year as grower and first time with this strain. 🙋‍♂️For those that don't know me, I'm a 100% OUTDOOR grower from Italy, great supporter of efficient and simple things; I love experimenting and always learning for my errors and this what I do also when growing 💪 🌱 The candidate for this new diary is a "White Widow Auto" by Ganja Farmer Seeds. I would like to thank @GanjaFarmerSeeds for sending me these seeds and allowing me to take part to their contest. I will update the diary once a week and in particular the first day of each week. "Day 0" will be assigned when the first leaves will come out from the soil. #OUTDOORGANG #PRAISE_THE_SUN - DD

Die Ladys haben sich gut gefangen und erholt. War zwei Wochen in Urlaub, mein Kollege war nur zwei mal gießen und die wachsen super… bisher scheint die Topfgröße und das Volumen von 300L + gut zu laufen 😎 bin mehr als gehyped wenn die fertig sind… denke mache morgen ein scrog Netz drüber und breite die maximal aus bevor es in die Blüte geht

Welcome to another season of Grow N' Smoke! This is my 9th grow but my second diary. Luckily I came upon some seeds that I had been desperate to try, Cookies Gelato from Royal Queen Seeds. Shout out to James and RQS, they deliver to the USA now! I got my seeds sooner than I thought and was able to start my grow last Sunday 2/19/23. It's now Saturday 2/25/23 and we are off to good start. A 100% Germination! How awesome! I'm really excited about this grow and I am very hopeful of the results. I hope that you enjoy this journey with me and that we can help each other along the way.

Hello people week # 9 is at the start, unfortunately I can not get the humidity below 40% but we always stay in the 40s, this is accompanied by a temperature of max 26c. The buds are in production, you can clearly see a difference from last week. The harvest is still difficult to estimate when that will be. I fertilize them as on the BioBizz plan until week 10 and I rinse them for another 2 weeks. A little tip: if you turn the pots 1/4 circle every day, this simulates different wind directions. The plant reacts differently to it than when it stands still in a place for 10 weeks. As already mentioned, my rules for autoflowering are: LESS IS SOMETIMES MORE. This helps beginners to take their time to study the plant. To understand the stages of development. Mastering the harvest is only possible through experience. Thanks for your time and for reading. Your green fox 🦊🦊

The girl is progressing well. She is receiving around 25 DLI of light. I did a topping.

Yesterday she was cut, run off ppms had been at zero for at least 4 days. For what this plant went through in terms of heat and humidity, I believe the outcome of roughly a kg wet is not too bad. Bud have a certain density to them but far away from what I prefer. However the presents of an abundance of Reepes is undeniable. ATM she smells very sweet with a hint of Creme and a bit of pine. She must be quite mold resistant, as the other plant in the tent with her was quite mold riddled and the Afghan didn’t catch anything in that tiny growspace.

WEEK☆7 J•1 Premier jour de la semaine, les branches latérales rattrapent bientôt la tête centrale. J'attends encore que ça se développe avant de penser à la floraison.@++ WEEK☆7 J•4 La progression continue, j'ai commencé un peu à défolier le bas du plant. J'attends encore pour la floraison.

🌱 GMO Cookies Auto — Week 10 From Seed (Week 5 Flower) 🔁 Quick Recap — How We Got Here This run started under a 12/12 from seed approach, pushing these autos into a slightly different rhythm compared to traditional schedules. From early on, the focus was on building a strong, healthy structure without over-intervention — letting the plant express itself while guiding it gently. Through the vegetative phase, they developed into compact but well-branched plants, with a natural bushy structure. No aggressive training, just light leaf management to maintain airflow and light penetration. As we transitioned into flower, everything started stacking quickly — and now here we are, mid-flower, with the plants fully committed to production. ⸻ 🌿 Week 5 Flower — Current State This week, they’re looking beautiful, full, and alive. • Structure: Bushy, dense, well-filled canopy • Bud development: Stacking nicely across all sites • Resin: Starting to frost up properly now — visible increase day by day • Overall health: Strong, stable, and responsive There are a few minor light stress signs — slight leaf tip burn from the LEDs — but nothing concerning. It’s the kind of stress that comes with pushing intensity, and the plants are clearly handling it well. And the standout feature right now: 👉 That main cola. It’s already separating itself from the rest — bigger, more dominant, and showing real potential. Definitely one to watch over the coming weeks. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment & Feeding Dialed and stable — exactly where we want to be: • 🌡️ Temperature: 26°C • 💧 Humidity: 60% • ⚡ EC: 2.0 • pH: 6.5 Instead of chasing generic room VPD charts, the focus remains on leaf VPD and plant response — and honestly, the plants are confirming everything. The rule stays the same: Plants speak louder than numbers. Right now, they’re not just speaking — they’re thriving. ⸻ 💡 Light Intensity (PPFD) Light levels are being pushed into a productive range: • Average canopy: ~1000 PPFD • Top colas: up to ~1200 PPFD • Full room range: ~800–1500 depending on plant height The variation comes from canopy differences — taller tops naturally receiving more intensity. And the key point: 👉 They’re handling it comfortably. No major stress, no slowdown — just steady development and increasing resin production. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect Next Things are moving fast now — this is where the magic really begins. Over the next week, we’re expecting: • 📈 Increased bud swelling and density • ❄️ Noticeable jump in resin production • 🌸 Stronger aroma development • 🏆 That main cola to really define itself This is the phase where small daily changes start becoming visible differences. ⸻ 🤝 Shoutouts & Gratitude Big love to everyone walking this journey: • 🌍 The GrowDiaries platform • 💬 The entire community — here and across all platforms • The genetics behind this run • 🤝 The supporters and partners • 🌱 The new followers joining the ride • 🐺 And the OGs that have been here since day one Energy matters — and this one is built on shared passion. ⸻ 🧠 Final Thoughts Everything is flowing naturally right now. No forcing, no chasing — just reading the plants and moving with them. There’s something special building here… and we’re right in the middle of it.

Trust me, you won’t want to miss the next steps, let’s push the boundaries of indoor horticulture together! As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together. With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

Very easy strain to grow that’s has little to no stretch from transition from veg to flower. Fairly quick flowering time. Super fat, dense buds. Real unique tasting strain as I can’t pin point an exact flavour. Good all round strain. If you grow her you’ll need to veg her to the final size you want her at. Loads of purple in my pheno, which is aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
