3oz dry weight from 1 plant! The maximum I've managed before was 18g and 20g per plant so a huge improvement from my first grow. Only issue is the buds came out airy, the tent was a bit hot throughout so think I need to up the airflow to remove excess heat in future grows. :) I've sealed the bud into mason jars now for curing, hopefully should be smokable in the early new year!

* harvest: 6 weeks veg. 60 days flowering * pot size: 11liter rain science bag * dry bud yield: 80gram * Appearance: very dense buds, with a hint of purple inside * Bud density: 9/10 * Aroma : smelling like a really sweet overripe banana * Taste : like it smells, a really nice overripe banana taste on the inhale * Potency : 9/10 * Kind of high: perfect if you wanna chill and have a good night sleep * Colour of thrichs at time of harvest: 20% amber 80% milky * Drying time: 10 days in the dry tent, curing 10 days * Good comments: such a beautifull plant to grow with branches that are the size off your arm, the buds are all big and gorgeous, they are purple on the inside.

Had been watching the grow tent channel on YouTube...you can tell by the video the plants had gotten dried out too much. Still working on watering properly.

Think about 2 weeks to harvest. The smell is amazing, they're frosty as hell. Little bit of fade starting on the fans, aiming to dial nutrients back over the last couple weeks and finish strong!

Hello folks ! Been a nice week, they are all enjoying themselves. Other then feeding, not much else to do now...Couple more days, and I will give PK 13/14 then. when I grew gelato auto the first time, It became my favorite because of the taste and smell and tbh this one is beating ALL the grows I had which are very limited LOL 😅(like 2), Buds are getting frosty but in person one can truly tell wasup 😎 See all next week, happy growing.

Ok so She is so close to going into flower lot’s of stretching going on I just ordered more nets because she is already like 3 ft over the last netting I put up so I’m hoping this next set of nets will be the last but with the most I don’t no lol I went ahead and stopped topping because I think she is right on the verge of going into flower stage a lot of branching going on up top everything is multiplying on its own really getting thick and full up top this should be an amazing yield I’m hoping for 5 lbs I think I might get it we will see how big and heavy the buds are I’m taking every Necessary precaution for up coming bud Weight Which I have a problem with every year Breaking my branches from weight I learned my lesson so far so good had a wicked ass storm blow in twice this week no breaks no stress Hopefully this will be the last week of veg this plant is awesome If the bud quality is good this is going to be my greatest plant of all time LOL

7 cuttings!! coming soon SOG

Hi folks. Day 29 does again topping for two previous topped branches. Same nutrients. Day 32 does some bottom leaves trimmed. Day 35 does set up net and watering with 2L nutrients mix.

Can I just say, these plants growth and development have been awesome, in the beginning she just grew horizontally and at a snail rate, but in my absence it’s like she was preventing her growth, and the problem with Monday’s Blue, it’s pot was not filled to the brim with grow medium (alike Unknwon Strain), unlike the other 4 plants so it did not get enough wind and sunlight, but guess what, nature always makes a plan. Look at her now.

this week is the penultimate transplant before flowering, my intention is two more weeks of vegetation so that they present the preflowers signaling the full ripening of this phase, healthy root, I noticed that it is very important for the results

Well this was my second harvest with this strain. I have to say it's easy to grow, and very strong. I was surprised at how big she got after my last couple of grows. I really like it! I will attempt some fim on my next grow, I would like more large colas than just the huge one. She was a good plant. I have to remember to add cal-mag supplement on week 3 next run. Unfortunately I have to move next month and have to cancel my next run as I don't want to move plants. You can really see the 'White' part of this White Widow in the video at the end! I want to thank you fellow growers for all your help. I really appreciate it!! You guys and gals are my support network. Thank you for being here for me. I will give smoke report and update flavors and dry weight once these buds are done drying. Popcorn bowl was not included in wet weight. I hope by my detailed watering and nutrients notes it will help someone with their grow. Good luck and happy growing!! Update: second smoke report, nearly drank the bong water instead of my beer while watching Hollaback girl with Gwen Stafani. Yeah, it's good. ;)

Week 8 begins, the final feed! Mandarin dreams 1&2 are both looking good, MD2 I find is the bigger of the two and smells like a chemical cleaner with a lime zest. MD1 is the only one of these two plants with any purple in her leafs. Thanks for stopping by, tune in next week for the flush 👽🌳🔥

Our girl is doing really nice, the training was successful and now part of her is under ground and she is growing nice. I have increased the water intake a bit more

The girls coped with the induction very well, we are starting the flowering period 💪 The plants are healthy and strong, and the extra light clearly serves them 😍

Heya growmies! not much of note happening, buds slowly fattening up even more, I doubt she has a whole 3 weeks left to be honest. She's still drinking 3.5 liters of water every day though, maybe she'll get even fatter

What a journey! We started out with a fungal infection or dampening off. Either way, she survived to bring some of the hardest buds ever grown. Very impressed. The resilience of thos one is something to note. Currently the plant is in control of the humidity. But it won't be for very long. Not once the exhaust fan kicks in to max power. The temp is stable at 61° f. Humidity is at 62%. Now 63 and climbing. 🤔. I adjusted it. And it won't stay still. It either plummets or spikes up. A tiny opening in the door dropped it super fast. While closing it up spiked it in the mid 60s. I'm trying to level it out at 55%. The temp is perfect. I should be able to do it. I can tweek it until it works properly. .so I just pulled the roots out of the bucket. I had a whole bunch of goopy shit all in the roots in buried in the pebbles. What the hell is that? I'm trying to find out right now. It was all black and nasty. It smelled like soil. Not strong or anything, but like I didn't use soil. Anyway, I did use carboflush and it turned the water a super dark brown. Maybe that's part of it. Or maybe that was the problem all along. Black root rot? Root rot at all? The roots seemed fine. Just the sludge all in their business. How should I have cleared that out if I saw it? Dump plain water through the hydroton? I think I'll do that for my next run. Once a week top off into the hydroton. Makes sense. It should keep the roots clean? 12/16/2025 Day 1 of drying Papaya Cookies and the environment looks great. It swings a bit, but doesn't go over 61% and I haven't seen it go under 45%. I know it's a big swing, but the temp is solid at 61° and it's in range. I expect it to be a bit more controlled in a few days after the plant dries out a bit. You know, when she has less control over the humidity. The goal is 61° and 53% humidity. I'm pretty sure I can keep it at 60%, but maybe I want 55%. I'm thinking 55% because it's the top of the ideal range and it still matches the temp. So it should I perfectly. So for the setup. I don't think I properly explained it yesterday. The 2x2 is connected to the 3x3 with a 4" duct. You can see in the picture that the hose is installed on the top of the 2x2 and to the upper 6" port on the right side of the tent. There's a reason I'm telling you this. The 4" charcoal filter is on the left side of the tent. If it were on the right side I'd have to attach the dry tent to the left side of the 3x3. The goal is to exhaust the dry tent with the whole 3x3 circulating air throughout, before exhausting the dry tent. Instead of the filter being right above the port, sucking in way too much from the dry tent and neglecting the rest of the 3x3. It makes sense in my head. So far it's seems to be working. The air in the tent has been exhausting just fine. With the 2 circular fans running at level 7 dynamic mode, it moves the leaves just enough and mimics the outside world quite well without any harsh gusts. I wonder. Seeing as though a cannabis plant needs to be pollinated, and it goes airborne, wouldn't having larger gusts of wind help a healthy cannabis plant to grow bigger buds as to catch the pollen? That makes sense to me. Don't overdo it, just a few little gusts just like September and October. At harvest season. I bet that will do something. Maybe I'll turn the speed up to 9 and see what happens. Wind burn on these leaves is the least of my problems. Plus, it'll be fine. Don't you worry. Maybe she'll produce more trichomes and bulk up a bit more. It makes total sense. Without wind burn, just under where it would start to happen, I bet she will finish up nicely and have added a bit more bulk too. 12/17/2025 Day 2: The humidity is bouncy. It stays in range from 46% to 61% I'd like to see it stabilize at 55%, but I don't think I'll see that until I have a bit more control over the space. It's funny. To bring the humidity up when it's low, I open the main tent and the air doesn't get pulled out of the dry tent making it more humid. I open the dry tent a little to drop the humidity. Either way, it's in range and the temp doesn't move at all. It warmed up here for the day and the temp went from 61 to 64 and holding steady. Nothing else to report. 12/18/2025 Day 3 of drying and we are looking great! A lot of her smell has changed to a sharp pungent scent. Meh. I know it's gonna be back to some insanely good smell very soon. After all it's only day 3. I woke up to the humidity hovering around 47% I was kinda hoping it would stay between 50% and 55%. No matter, I added a bowl of water to help keep the humidity up a bit. Hopefully it keeps it under control at 55%. Other than that, nothing else to report. 12/19/2025 So day 4 and I had to add a mini humidifier to the dry tent. It was dropping below 50% and I want it around 53%. The temp is 60° f. So now the humidity is at 54° and is leveled out. I'm guessing maybe 7 days? 10 to 12 days is what I'm going for. The longer the better, but I also have another plant that has to go in there and they won't fit together. The only reason I'm concerned with it is because I'm starting new seeds today or tomorrow. Probably today and I'll be needing the 3x3 in the next week or 2. This little lady will be done by then, but my other plant might have to dry in the 3x3 and that'll take 10 to 14 days. By then the seedlings will be ready for their buckets. Or well, no. They will be ready for their buckets in about 10 days. If not less. Maybe 8 days. I usually add them to the final container just before the roots really start coming in. That way I'm not shocking them too much when they hit the medium.

When should I flush??????????
