Day 27 of 12/12
Day 16 Flower
Ppfd 950-1050. S44-Ionboard
Ppfd 650. S11-Ionboard lightbars
EC 2.0
PH 6.0
I finally caught this diary up to the current date. I apologize for my previous entries that were all done last night and kind of vague and all over the place.
Today I'm doing a mild defoliation to open up the canopy and get some life pumped into these lower bud sites. She's still stretching some which I'm all for at this point although I have a few colas reaching for the sky that need dialed back a little. I'll most likely just LST them to the net if I can find spots to pull from.
Defoliation is a nightmare currently. I need some kind of mission impossible harness to hang above the canopy and save my lower back lol.
I ordered and installed the s11 Ionbeam led bars from AC Infinity. I currently have them in my lower canopy just below my scrog net to help her along a bit.
The first night I installed them they didn't sync up with my controller 69 and she had a night light for 12 hours. Pisses me off because I should have peeked in to make sure it shut off with the main board. So later on today I'll play around with the setting between the 2 controllers and get this UIS set right. This is a prime example of jumping the gun and letting the excitement of new gear get me doing shit hastily. These bars are weak and have to be placed within inches of the canopy and then will only cover a small area efficiently. I will most likely remove em from the lower canopy and suspend them over the colas on the edges. Not sure what I was expecting from 11" light bars. Maybe I'll add them to my seedling/clone racks.

They seem to have stopped stretching and are now focusing on the buds. Very odd coloration happening on the leaves of the left plant. I'm thinking it's either a calcium deficiency or a manganese deficiency. Either way the buds are developing nicely still. Right is looking great right now, save for a few spider mites I had to squish earlier last week.
Nice and frosty at 5th week of flower. If all goes well with both of these girls, I'll be harvesting them at the end of January. I'll definitely give them a bud washing b/c I found mites.
Update 1/2/22: okay I've got a few notes to make on the progress as a whole. So after topping right, it seems like she started producing flowering hormones right after. While left focused on stretching for like a week more. Right has fat, compact and frosty buds- shaped like golf balls. Left has spire-shaped buds, not AS dense(still dense though, mind you), and less frost. So I'm thinking left is staggered behind right by about a week. Since this is week 5, we'll be able to tell just how far ahead she is by week 8.

The best taste under the sun, great color of buds, unforgettable gorillas for me;) After quite a long fight with high temperatures and lack of support in the form of boosters, I am happy with the final result.

Day 43 purpling petioles is back. Root zone ph tests are perfect 5.9 6.0. She is fed at only 650 ppm on constant drip feed. Anything higher and was seeing some tip burn. May try low low low dose pk boost. I've read up on adding at 1/8 strength and feed middle 3 weeks can help. Think I'm going to give it a shot next reservoir change.
Day 44 res change. Implemented Canna PK boost at 10% strength. Filled res with 2 gal. Will monitor plants signals. A couple bottom leaves yellowed and died. Not concerned as the leaves where well below canopy and low light conditions.
Day 45 .75 gal consumed. All is well
Day 46 she drank another 3/4 gal last night. Maintenance flush completed. Adjusted fan to above canopy and while doing so my hand inadvertently brushed against a bud and she smells of pure lemon candy at the moment. Stunning.
Day 47 another 3/4 gal gone and the top of the coco had a few dry splotches. She's out drinking my feeder. I may have to add a second carrot to the pot.
Day 48 she drank a gal last night. I think I finally got her flowering nutes dialed back in. Initial runoff ppm coming out same as going in. Overall appearance strong and healthy. Added 3 gal to res.
Day 49 checked her at lights on and she was bone dry. Somehow got an air bubble in the drip line. Immediately drenched her. she looks fine. Fingers crossed.
Added some pics/vids of some propagators that I'm playing around with. No MJ yet, but its spring and planting my herbs and veggies.

Day 49.
This week in the 4x8, the autos did amazing.
This was the week they started to really pack on some weight and bulk up. They are stacking up nicely and are beginning to develop their own distinct terpene profile.
Will update as they get further into flower.
Or else I'll get a sad face 😔 lol
I did come up on a storage unit full of equipment. Will be updating my cooling system soon and the watering system

Hello growers!
Tonns of defoliation and branch management this week. I added 2nd pack of stretching wires
I actually don't know how to manage THAT amount of branches
Shall we count this stage as a flower or veg. Well, it's transitioning
At the beginning of the week PPM was 1040, by the end it's 1700+
It's hard to maintain correct level, when we add water, not changing it, i wanted to add more bloom nutrients. And she dinks well now.

After defoliating both Barbarian (=AK-47 x Barbara Bud) plants after week 11 they now develop more and amore flower clusters, since the light can penetrate deeper int the canopy now. The plants are producing trichomes like crazy, even the bigger sugar leaves are covered in them! VERY FROSTY PLANTS! The flower clusters clearly form colas now along all side branches and both plants fill up nicely. The smell is now strong and sweet with a clear peach aroma to it, it makes me smile every time I look into the tent. The plants love the Advanced Nutrients feeding schedule and are getting the recommended dose every watering.

Pues HOY, miercoles 22 de abril, hago el cambio de fotoperiodo, a 14-14! De momento todo va según lo planeado, main lining hasta este punto, vigorosas y recias, se sienten muy sanas y beben muchisimo, de momento 3 litros por planta cada dos dias, veremos a ver ahora con la floracion.
Ahora esta primera semana voy a hacerle diferentes aplicaciones buscando cosas jajajajaja hoy la voy a hacer aplicación foliar del delta y no recuerdo si tocaba tambien a riego. Luego, algo que tengo ganas de ver, es usar el calcio ahora entre esta semana y la siguiente de aplicación foliar, pero en esta ocasión no solo para fortalecer la planta, sino para activar la hormona Ca²+ creo que se llama, que en sí es el mensajero de la planta que le dice, eeehh, haz mas resina que estás tirando poca! Y así la fuerza.. habrá que ver jajaja pero bueno, hoy arrancan las 14 horas de luz y 14 horas de oscuridad 🔥🔥
Las plantas, el dosel lo tienen sobre los 40cm, espero no tener que hacer super cropping, no soy fan.
Actualización jueves 23-04-2026: el video es del despertar tras sus primeras 14h de oscuridad. Aún no hay porqué ver nada respecto al cambio de fotoperiodo, lo interesante es lo vigorosas que están en el momento del cambio 🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

A brown leaf revealed the moldy core of the bud. Based on this sign, I harvested most of the plant.
otherwise the Plant did grow well and has some terps leaning to the sour, limone side.
had to throw away about 8G modly stuff from main colar. Seems to be about 30-40g left without mold.

Day 37 marks the official start of flowering, with strong stretch, healthy pistil formation, and a fully stabilized canopy after completing all LST work. Feeding is set at 2-2-2.5 (Micro/Grow/Bloom), no additives yet, and root pressure looks excellent with visible post-watering guttation and vigorous growth. Environment is stable at 23.5°C and 50% RH, main light runs at 100% from 80 cm to allow stretch before lowering both lamps for full flowering intensity next week.

So I have been busy building a new grow space in the cellar had walls and a roof , then after three days of rain the cellar is under 2cm of water. So today I pulled my finger out and repotted all my plants. 4 will be in the autopots 15 litres, with the addition of airdomes this run. They will stay in my 90*90 tent till the roots hit the bottom of the pots and I can use the autopot resivoir . I have used bio bizz light mix with perlite, added some Greenhouse powderfeed bio bloom to the soil along with silica powder from Biotabs. I then top dressed with a little bio grow to keep them going until I flower them in a week or two.

Hello Diary,
White Widow has completed her second week in the vegetation phase.
In a week, it grew 8 cm and began to form places where flowers will begin to appear.
Sometimes it's surprising how quickly plants develop and grow if they have good conditions.
All in all, these first two weeks are developing very nicely.
Since it's the middle of summer, the temperatures are still high, but for now I don't see that it doesn't suit them.
Sometimes it is over 31 degrees in the grow box.
I make sure that the soil does not dry out, so I increased the amount of water when watering.
I continue to add Bio Grow Fertiliser and CalMg with each watering. pH I drop to 6.0 with Plagron's Lemon Kick.
At the end of the week, more precisely after taking photos for day 14, I increased the power of the led lights to 60%.
Here is a quick overview of the week:
04/08/2024 - Day 11.
Watering.
I prepared 6 liters of water, added the previously mentioned nutrients and with that amount I evenly watered all three plants on the farm.
07/08/2024 - Day 14.
After taking the photos, I watered all three plants on the farm in the same way as three days earlier.
White Widow - Day 14. - 14 cm
That's all from me for this week, see you soon.
