Alright, so we're moving along with the grow but some of these ladies seem to be struggling just a little bit more than others... they're definitely growing at a great pace but the foliage just looks rough. I stopped the alfalfa Ferment thinking it might be a little to potent for them right now... we'll see how they look after another week. I'm sure they'll all grow out of the funk.

First buds appeared this Wednesday! Still continuing with shed time at night; I'm still dwelling how/when/if I'll stop this. From start to stop, I can get the plants out in the morning in 7 minutes, and put them away at night in 5. It's also time I'd love to get back. But it also could prevent them being seen by casual weed thieves, as well as saving them from frequent night rains in Sept. But they're also soon going to be getting sticky which will suck for handling them. Speaking of, I'll probably pick a separate shirt to use while doing this, as even tying them up a bit more today has probably made it so I'll reek of weed until I change. Speaking of tying them up, the video allows one to see trees in the background getting tossed around in the wind, while they don't have too much movement. And I love my windchimes :) . Still watering 5 gallons every 2-3 days. Today was pretty cool; only a high of 26C.

Very strongly cut off, I prepare to the beginning of flowering, he released a call that for some reason had a pair of leaves, because of which it turned out to be a little more torn off than it cost, I will give her a couple of days and we will begin the translation into flowering, also revealed a call which has 3 points of growth on each floor. Changed lighting: 37 watts white 55 watts blue, 38.5 watts red, Today I fully watched the side lighting and the electrics, controlled from a smartphone similar to the top lamp

I had to get a bigger tent as these girls were pushing themselves out of my other tent. I also added another COB to the tent at the same time. The plants are doing well and are liking their new home it seems. I need to defoliate the biggest one though, too many leaves covering bud sites. Might do that after work tonight as well as water. Back ina week.

Everything is filling up the canopy nicely so I flipped to flower (10/19/18) so they don’t get to out of control during the first couple weeks as they like to stretch. Will be doing a slight Lollipopping in the next day or 2 and will have to add a second layer of trellis either this week or next.

✨ 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.

Carramellow Kush no.2 "Cath" finished enough for me. She's full of trichomes and her calyxes are swollen and ripe. Another week for the next lady to be harvested and probably a couple of weeks more for the 3rd. I'll update on the weight when I've dried them off 🤪

This week I've had some technical difficulties and busy finishing my dry room since these girls are getting closer and closer. The colas are frostier and getting weightier. So hard to be patient but love seeing them grow.

Alrighty growmies 👌🏻 so I’ve had a bit of a week set back due to issues, but back on track, the heat wave has definitely given a few girls a bit of a hard time not being able to attend but none the less, lifted the light again, trying to get on top of this PH fluctuating I’m having again using these stupid PH drops as my PH pen also keep jumping. Besides that I’ve managed to make a new home for the clones and got them under a couple UFO LEDs so that will house them for a few more weeks and al bring out the 600w HPS for them, but these runtz since being repotted have not taking nicely to it at all even using dynomyco so again hopefully by Friday they should be past that stage if not on flowering either way going to be a bomb scare when these taller plants start to stretch might have to bring out the net for sure 🤣🤙🏻 if all goes wrong at least I have my clones for back ups, keep eyes open for the incoming fire thou 🔥

So I learned from my last auto plants not to top them, these ones I have more done training (lst) by the time I would top my photos... they are growing good, one plant is and has always been strange. Giving tap water that I let sit but got a good rain and lots of rain water so I will be giving that from now on. Until now I watered less than drenching the soil, but today I gave a good water and I think I will do so from now on.

This week I found fungus gnats I added sticky boards and mosquito bits. A small amount of fading on oldest leaves. I did a small defoliation of the yellow fan leaves. I added bone meal to the top layer of soil and worked it in. Water at 6.5.
