White Widow – Week 5 | First Signs of Pre-Flower 🌸✨ Light Schedule: 11/13 from seed Room Temp: ~30.7°C Humidity: 57–60% VPD: ~1.89 kPa Water pH: 6.0–6.1 EC: 0.6 Watering Method: Hand watering ⸻ The Story So Far This queen has a story worth telling. We started with multiple White Widow seeds, but due to an uneven heat mat (lesson learned!), only one seed survived, this very plant. She’s been with us from germination, through her careful transplant into a prepared super soil boosted with Aptus Micro-Mix, Mycor-Mix, and substrate buffer powder. From the start, she’s been under an 11/13 light shuttle, and while I expected earlier flowering, she surprised me, holding back, stacking nodes, and keeping compact. This week, in her fifth week, she finally shows her first clear pre-flower signs. ⸻ Her Look Right Now She’s not tall, but she’s perfectly built, beautiful leaf structure, tight internodes, and starting to branch nicely. The leaves are a deep, healthy green and carry the classic White Widow vigor. I took her out for a studio photo session this week, capturing top shots, side views, and close-ups of her perfect symmetry. ⸻ Feeding Update Up to now, she’s had: • Aptus Regulator • Aptus CalMag Boost • Aptus All-in-One Liquid • Aptus Start Booster Now that she’s entering pre-flower, I’ve removed Start Booster and added Top Booster to support the transition. Current mix: • Regulator • CalMag Boost • Top Booster EC sits around 0.6, pH about 6.0–6.1. Even though she’s in rich super soil, this light feeding supports her until the full soil biology kicks into gear. ⸻ Conditions Yes, temps are a bit on the high side at 30.7°C with 57–60% RH, giving a VPD of ~1.89 kPa. Not ideal, but she’s handling it well, no signs of stress. Hand watering continues, and I might keep it that way for the full run to maintain control and intimacy with the plant. ⸻ What to Expect Next Now that she’s showing pre-flowers, I expect a slow but steady transition. Being in 11/13 from seed, she might flower more compactly, with denser bud sites rather than stretching heavily. This phase will be key to see how White Widow expresses under this unconventional light cycle. ⸻ Gratitude & Shoutouts 🙏 Huge thanks to those making this journey possible: 🌱 Zamnesia Seeds – for preserving and sharing this legend of the 90s 💧 Aptus Holland – for the precise, high-quality nutrients keeping her thriving 💡 ThinkGrow – for the perfectly balanced LED bars delivering even canopy light 🚀 Future of Grow – for the powerful Black Series 600W 🧠 TrolMaster – for environmental precision across the grow ⸻ 📸 Check the gallery for close-ups, overhead shots, and a short video tour of this beautiful survivor. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

The plants are growing like and hell and some plants more than others. I therefore have to super-crop the plants, which is a method promoted by SOMA from SOMA-Seeds. I take the stem of the plant at appr. 20 cm under the top, directly above an internode, and squeeze it hard between my fingers. So hard that I can feel the fibers brake inside the stem. I squeeze in a circle around the whole stem and then bend the stem sidewards until the whole top of the plant is bent 90 degrees to the side or even points downwards. This way I dont have to top the plants and save the big top buds. The stem will heal and the plant will continue to grow, just at a lower height. I use this method since many years and it works GREAT. The BIO-TABs nutrients still do thier job VERY WELL, all plants have a healthy green color. The SANlight EVO4-120 LED-lamps are still hung at 75 cm distance from the top of the pants and do an OUTSTANDING JOB.

07/12 Ding Ding! Starting week 4 by watering 1.5L after 7 Days. The 1 Liter from week 3 really did a number on them. Theyre still growing fine! The Afghan Kush got stripped naked and bent over. The Blueberry is a tad behind, im just gonna let her ride a bit, see where we go from here. LST got adjusted for both of them. Light is also up to 20/4 with roughly same DLI Watered with 1,5L, 2 ml/L rootjuice, letting it fade out, probably giving one more time next watering then stopping. Activera and grow stayed the same at 2 ml/L, microbes again at 0.4g/l. Starterleaves removed from both plants. More pics to come the following days! 13/12 After the week: Didnt get around to edit, also due to the fact that my raspberry pi was acting up which took me a good 12 solid hours to fix (i say fix, what ended up happening was i wiped the SD card and set everything up again lol) Blueberry is growing nice and bushy, but i left her mostly alone. Afghan Kush is doing fine as well, though she skinny. Both are growing steadily but compared to my last run, they slow. Im still happy so far! Removed some inward facing stems on both plants. Also, both are confirmed to be female. Added timelapse, and see you all next week when we probably head into flower!

Hey everyone 😃. This week she has done great 👍. It was done again on all the drifted topping and sprayed one last time with neem oil so that the last trips are finally gone 😁. We haven't had any pests for so many years and all of a sudden we have such little shit parts 😅. This week it was poured twice with 1.2 l of water. GHSC enhancer was added during a pouring (1 g per l) The tent was cleaned every day this week and the plants were checked for health. The humidifier is filled once a day. Next week I will decide how I will continue the training because I have space again in the flower tent 😀. This week I'll decide whether it goes straight into the flower tent or is pruned again. Until then, I wish you and your families a good start into the new year 2021 🙏🏻. Stay healthy and let it grow 🍀 You can buy this Strain at : https://sweetseeds.es/de/red-mandarine-f1-fast-version/ Type: Red Mandarine F1 Fast Version ☝️🏼 Genetics: Red Poison Auto®️ (SWS39) X Tangie (California Orange x Hybrid Skunk) 👍 Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow Led Quantum Board 100 W 💡 Bloom Lamp : 2 x Todogrow Led Cxb 3590 COB 3500 K 205W 💡💡☝️🏼 Soil : Canna Coco Professional + ☝️🏼 Fertilizer: Green House Powder Feeding ☝️🏼🌱 Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.

She is also experiencing a general yellowing all over. I contacted Advanced Nutrients support and they consulted me to increase the feeding. Let’s see how it goes. On the other hand, she keeps growing buds. Looks like stunned a little. That’s why I am waiting another 2 days for lollipoping.

De nuevo familia , reconozco que de las 3 variedades , skunk es mi favorita para destacar entre las demás, NO se espigan nada, los internudos están bastante juntos y la cepa 3/3 ejemplares están muy sanas. Cada una con alguna particularidad genética pero muy sanas. Ph bastante controlado, el trasplante lo asimilaron bien todas, humedad en 55% , siguen sin comida pero por poco tiempo, pronto les daremos algo de caña.

Día de cosecha y la verdad estoy muy contento con lo que veo, son hermosas estas flores y su fragancia exquisita. La planta tuvo una deficiencia de Cal/Mag, la que se corrigió a tiempo pero de igual manera afectó en su crecimiento y rendimiento, más allá de eso estoy feliz por las flores de calidad que tendré para degustar más adelante.

This is the last week. They are currently in the dark getting ready for Chop, Chop in a day or so. Only doing water this week. Checked my TDS and it was around 80PPM. Pretty low since we have added the RO system. The smell hits you when you open the cab like a freight train. Some smelly treats in there! Going skiing in a couple weeks. So stay tuned for next grow! 😎

Things ticking along no real stresses this week. Starting to show some white hairs and still stretching. Temps and humidity much better this week and a lot easier to manage without the co2.
