Turns out, this girl is an AUTO!! Not a photo. Here we are at day 36! She's looking awesome! I've been doing a lot of LST on it trying to get as many tops as I can. I've even tried some minor HST and she's been bouncing back up quick. I'm having to tie down every day now. Day 21, I plan to defoliate and remove the smaller growth and let her rock out!

This week I realized that I actually never fed her with runoff since I started flowering her, which is something I usually recommend others to do! 😂 So I gave her 10l plain RO water at lights off, and then at lights on 10 more liters with nuts. There came about 5l of runoff with an EC very close to 5, very high. Two days after she started giving a wonderful strong smell and the buds seem to be swelling. So at the next watering, I prepared 20l(EC 1,8), and gave her that all at once. You can see the video. This time there came 8l runoff with EC 5.31. I think I will repeat this 20l again next time to be sure she doesn't get root lock. I'm impressed by her, it looks like she will end up making some really nice big buds if she keeps going this way for 3 more weeks :D

Guys, i don’t know where is going to take me but this trip is being awesome, as i wanted, the critikal plant has grown in spiral and she is developing a lot of little new leaves, growing gorgeous but im a newbie, i don’t not if its fem or not until flowering I guess (?) Cookies was growing superslow and i don’t know why i topped it but she is recovering now, might not grow because of then injury I know this “advanced” training methods are gonna make the growing stage last another month at least for sure I have improved moist levels by spraying them quite a few times daily, tap water with 1ml of propolis 5% every 0.5L and have turned the ph correct with some natural orange juice, a few drops use to be enough I turn the heather on sometimes and it comes with fan so perf but im worried the most of the time they are with low airflow levels due to the fact i have not a proper space and they are in a corner of my room

10/24/2018 Beginning of week #5, flowering stretching is slowing down,and filling out, not much to report on all seems well so that scares me a little. Week 6 and maybe week 7 I will be adding Overdrive by advanced nutrients. Have any of you guy's and/ or gals used it ? I would appreciate any feedback .. Also thinking about upping the bloom by .5ml, any experience with raising nute levels plant looks very healthy, just wondering if anyone thinks it is worth trying. I'am using PH Perfect, grow, micro, bloom, plus overdrive in week #6, and #7, as I'am not sure if it is a 10-12 week plant. Not sure if you seen some 11 FINGER leaves and longer thinner SATIVA like attributes. Much like pollen Father donor grapefruit male (SATIVA)😎 Ps. more pics in morning as my tablet is acting up! 10/29/2018 All is well resin is plentiful even larger leaves are sticky and citrusy( captain cake). Glad I cloned her! Got four starting to root,and ready to transplant transplant. Trading one for swami select green zebra 10/30/2018 Light defoiliating and little supercropping. To even out canopy.

8/5 My previously gorgeous 7ft GDP was sick as fuck. LAST FED 8/6 DIDN'T USE TIGER BLOOM AS IT WAS CHUNKY AND OUTDATED. 8/6 Lost my first plant in four years. Huge grand daddy purple (7FT super bushy) seemed to have root rot or was rootbound. Some of it smelled musty and was brown but I think the stalk got detached from the main rootball. Spider webbed roots all over the bottom of the pot so it looked root bound too but the dirt was loose. I took some pictures but I'm home so it's taking forever to upload. I took a quick video too. I have much more space now so maybe it will end up helping in the long run flowering. At least with airflow. That one plant was a lot of my canopy. Fucking sucks to have to pull out your biggest plant. I needed to see if earwigs were in the soil though. I've been getting insect damage. Didnt find any. Just like last year they lollipop the fucking branches and eat the newly developing shoots and flowers. Also another hundred degree day with super humidity. My other girls seem to be doing well though despite the harsh environment. Last I checked soil ph is back in range. 8/8 Raining today. Plants were super dry and I didn't have time before my wife's doctor's appointment so i wayered with the hoyse lightly. Its only a tad alkaline. I wonder if i can ph a bunch of water andcstore it in buckets or barrels? Ill have to research. WPM doesn't seem as bad but I'm sure it will rear it's ugly head again soon enough. I'll need to do a treatment soon. My blueberry plant in the tote seems like the stalk is breaking away from the root ball like it did on that huge GDP. the plant looks healthy though. Other than some earwig damage on lower branches that will probably be clipped. Flower has started. I tied it to a stake to put it upright but I'm worried about the winds without my tarp. People talked me into taking my back tarp down and I think that's what finally killed the plant. Roots weren't attached and the soil wasn't compact despite the spiderwebbed roots all on the bottom of the plant. The others are doing pretty good considering the circumstances. 8/10 Rained two days in a row. Took a bunch of pictures but they wouldn't upload. Didnt swfoliate today. Plants are actually looking pretty good despite the horrible season we've had. In the 60's today. Thirty degree temperature swing and that's just during the day. Will update more later. Oh and I spoke with a local commercial grower who grows both indoor and out commercially and owns a dispensary. Farm to table. Someone u respect greatly take a look at the pictures/video I have and with our previous conversations and what he saw he said "If you want my honest opinion you did nothing wrong. You have the same strain in smaller containers doing fine so it's not genetics. The plant was rootbound when you got it and you could've even put it in a 100gal and the sane thing would've happened. It was just shooting so many roots our instead of circling because it had been rootbound and was so large. It wouldve happened with that plant regardless. I would chalk this up to nature. You haven't lost plant in four years right?" I nod. "Any seasoned or commercial grower would honestly look at you and be like one plant in four years and your bitching? Cone on man." We went over a bunch if stuff I couldn't upload here and the actual site. It was good to hear this compliment from a commercial grower. I mean he's on another level. He does three outdoor harvests a year here with light dep and has an indoor grow facility and dispensary as well. I'm really lucky to have these types of resources. If you see this shout out to you man! 8/11 Rained last night. Overcast today. Plants liked the rain. Other than some of the leaves that look like they might have septoria the plants seem to be doing good. Especially with the humidity and the varying temperature. With the loss of my biggest plant I think I have room to move some plants. I always plant t I close to the fence. I could move the GDP in front back and move the blueberry in the tote and add a vertical trellis for support. On a positive note I'll have more room to work and I'll have better air flow. As soon as I have a night without rain or a day without showers I'll do another treatment of organocide. I'm also going to start beastie bloom soon. I don't have open sesame and i dont want to buy it. Its the only one i dont have. Still random damage here and there. I've seen several Japanese beetles too. I'm glad I found them. It was on the top of a plant. If it did its thing it would've looked like cigarette burned wall the way through a bud.

Mais uma semana de poda top e defoliação. As plantas que revegetaram , já voltaram a floração, estão em boa recuperação. Difícil ter que segurar a vega sem poder mudar pra flora pela falta de espaço.

I don't have single complaint. I love this strain and will absolutely be growing more in the future! Great bud structure, never a yellow leaf, just overall badass plant. Very happy I took a clone lol.

The two beautiful Critical Kush plants came from another diary. They sprouted fast and came up strong. I was amazed. Because after soaking for 24 hrs I don't think they even cracked the shell. I do not know the breeder. Got these through a trade with Tonio, who I'm sorry to say had to stop growing. They were only labeled Critical Kush. With gold lettering on the sticker. No other marks. ?????

White Widow – Week 6 | Second Big Flower, Buds Forming 🌸🌿 Light Schedule: 12/12 from seed Room Temp: ~28°C (stabilized with AC) Humidity: ~66% VPD: ~1.33 kPa CO₂: 450–800 ppm Watering: Hand watering Soil Content EC: ~2.96 ⸻ From Hairs to Buds This week marks a real turning point. Our White Widow is moving past simple hairs, now we can clearly see the beginnings of tiny buds forming. It’s the second big flower stage in her journey, and the structure is starting to express the true White Widow personality: compact, resinous, and promising. I took her out of the tent for another photoshoot, capturing her in detail with the Sony A6000. Close-ups show her leaves, structure, and those first clustered flowers. I also filmed short videos, including one where I share how I talk with my plants daily. For me, it’s not optional — it’s part of a symbiotic relationship. Plants respond to energy and care, and I believe everyone should try it. 🌱💭 ⸻ Light Strategy – Emerson Effect Simulation A special note this week: I recorded a screen video from the TrolMaster TM+ app to show how the lights are scheduled. 🌅 Wake-up: The reds switch on 15 minutes before the whites and blues. 🌇 Wind-down: At night, the reds also stay on 15 minutes longer than the other spectrums. This is designed to simulate sunrise and sunset while taking advantage of the Emerson Effect, a synergistic boost in photosynthesis efficiency when far-red and red light are combined with other wavelengths. The result? Plants wake up and settle down more naturally, with smoother light transitions, reduced stress, and potentially increased energy capture. It’s a small tweak, but it reflects how every detail of this environment is tuned with intention. ⸻ Environmental Changes This week, a big addition: the AC unit. Before, the room was running hot at 31–32°C and more, but now it’s stable at 28°C (occasionally 29°C). Combined with ~66% RH, this gives a steady VPD of 1.33, right in a comfortable zone for flower. CO₂ naturally fluctuates between 450–800 ppm, and the plants are thriving in these conditions. Even during the hotter weeks, they adapted beautifully, proof of the resilience of both the genetics and the environment we’ve been building. ⸻ Feeding & New Recipe Until now, she’s been on the Aptus base recipe: • Regulator – 0.15 ml/L • CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml/L This week, I introduced a Plagron trio to push flower development: • Power Buds – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Green Sensation – 1 ml/L Why now? Because she’s transitioned from stretch to actual bud formation. Power Buds helps with compact flowering sites, Sugar Royal enhances metabolism and energy (especially under high light), and Green Sensation supports resin and bud swelling later on. Together with Aptus, it’s a blend of precision and experimentation, trusting experience, intuition, and past results. ⸻ 12/12 From Seed – A Quick Recap This run is about exploration: • Started from seeds, with early germination struggles (mistakes included, lessons learned). • This White Widow is the sole survivor of those early days. • Straight into 12/12 from seed, she grew compact and resilient, surprising us by taking her time to flower despite the cycle. • Now, at Week 6, we see her first true buds. She’s not the tallest, but she’s beautiful, living proof of how genetics + environment + patience = results. ⸻ Looking Ahead What to expect: • Buds thickening and clustering. • Stronger aroma starting to emerge. • More demand on nutrition as flowering sites expand. What not to expect: • A tall, stretchy plant — she’s compact and will likely stay that way. • Early harvest — White Widow still takes her time, even under 12/12. ⸻ Shoutouts & Gratitude 🙏 🌱 Zamnesia – for the legendary White Widow genetics 💧 Aptus Holland – for the precise, reliable base nutrients 🌸 Plagron – for the flower enhancers that now join the recipe 💡 ThinkGrow – for the bar LEDs keeping perfect spread 🚀 Future of Grow – for the Black Series 600W full-spectrum power 🧠 TrolMaster – for automating and stabilizing the grow environment (and letting us dial in the Emerson effect with custom light scheduling!) And of course, thank you to everyone following this diary, reading, supporting, and sharing this journey.

25/06/2021 (F DAY 28) Se agregó unos 5L de comida en modo top dress. Se agregó harina de todo tipo, humus, compost, microkashi, bokashi, guano, etc. La flora viene muy bien y los olores son muy intensos y sabrosos. Sweet Cheese: Posee el desarrollo de flora mas rápido, lleno de tricomas y con un aroma intenso a queso. Black Afghalien: Posee un característica muy particular de pistilos super finos, el olor a incienso con resinas es increíble. El color característico negro de la black está apareciendo al mes de flora con el descenso de la temperatura. Pomelo Haze: Es la flora más lenta pero sin duda alguna es uno de los mejores terrenos que poseo en esta carpa. Tiene bastante distancia internodal y muy poca ramificación.

I turned on the second light and added the scrog net this week to begin doing LST. Pinched all the new tops that were starting to come up so I get more of those precious main colas. She's loving the extra 150w of light, growth has really started to explode. Now I'm working on evening out the canopy height so that everything is even when I flip to flower. The fun has begun.
