Day 65. Heavy training in progress ... All done, hopefully not many natural protectors lost, took about 30 liters bag full off leaves and shoots, could do like 100 clones easy ;))) All girls lolitoped, cleared, defoliated, rewired, some had supercroping. Skunks were happy when last Cheese was done, so i think/hope - all will go smooth. This time i really cleared them a lot, maybe the most in my career ... Cheeses performed thicker and more stacked branches . Fun is starting !!! Day 66. Got my last puzzle of protection against thrips. I think i beat them already, yesterday haven't noticed any thrips on leaves, but i am old and blind ;))) They where ordered a week ago, so just in case ... Girls look just fabulous !!! I think it will be very nice harvest by bag appeal, hopefully weight will make me smile too ;)))) I still think to strip them hard at the end of week 5 or week 6 if they will delay in progress .... At the moment they are just perfect ! Day 69. Here comes my moan ;)) Stretch was not so big as i expected, looks like 80 is more real target than 100. They look very nice and healthy and i beaten thrips , but this time i cleared too much i feel ;))))) Future will show ... Happy Growing !!!

Seguindo com regas de dois em dois dias, nas plantas 2,3 e 5 foram colocados uma colher pequena de substrato preparado completo. notado um desenvolvimento vagaroso da Tropical tangie, ela não parece se dar bem com o frio.

White Widow looks realy good. I expect that I can harvest her in august. Northern Lights looks good too, but seems to be flowering much slower then White Widow. Blueberry Ghost OG (it is HUGE already) and Kali AK still won't start flowering and I don't know why.

Still HOT and dry! Full sun almost every day, and she's loving it. Pistils are wildly long, and buds surprisingly fat for this early, maybe she will be a early October harvest? Hoping the weather holds out! Did another compost tea (Epsom, Kelp, Molases and Compost, aerrate 24hrs), wildly foamy this time, tons of microbes ready to get to work. Will squeeze in a final top dress of Gaia Green Power Bloom next week. All in all looking great, haven't done any more defoliating, buds are spaced nice, may snip a few fan leaves here and there covering bud sites, but it's hard to get to them being so tall, so hoping for the best. Getting some rain, maybe thundershowers over the next week, still spray link LCPT for PM, and BT for Caterpillars. Did find a ton of eggs on the underside of a fan leaf, so BT is necessary.

1 month and counting for my little Cream Cookies. Shes flying along considering i havent topped her. I've just plucked 2 or 3 of the biggest and oldest fan leaves off so that new growth can have it's fair share of light. Other than that shes powering along. Drinking 6 litres of water every 3rd day. A little over fed as shes just getting the same nutes as my other plants in the tent. I'm letting her ride out and not putting too much effort into her. Mainly because I'm focusing on my other plants this time round but also because I'd like to see what she can do without any special treatment. I'm hoping for another weeks veg and then flower to keep on schedule with the Pinapple and Six Shooters she is sharing the tent with.

She's growing a little funky but hopefully she'll come around. Probably because the pot is so small my other, bigger pots are stealing it's light

Super Silver Haze (Zamnesia Seeds) – Flower Week 4 📖 Quick Recap – From Seed to Week 4 Flower • Week 1 Flower: Transition was smooth—plants showed pistils almost immediately, adapting well to the flip. Stable structure, great color, and strong roots already visible. • Week 2 Flower: Morphology shifted fast—nodes stacking, pistils multiplying. Feeding recipe adjusted: removed Start Booster, added Top Booster (0.25 ml/L), plus Plagron Power Buds, Sugar Royal, and Green Sensation. Plants handled higher temps like champions. • Week 3 Flower: Light defoliation done to open airflow and light penetration. Both phenos look like twins, compact, about 120 cm tall, hybrid-style leaves, strong root systems, and steady bud formation. VPD slightly high (~1.37 kPa), but plants remained stress-free. • Week 4 Flower (current): Buds are swelling, pistils thick and beautiful, leaves lush and symmetrical. Feeding recipe simplified—no All-In-One Liquid or Top Booster. Soil provides NPK; boosters fine-tune flower development, aroma, and resin potential. Week 4 Flower – Super Silver Haze (Zamnesia Seeds) Grower: Dog Doctor Strain: Super Silver Haze Breeder: Zamnesia Seeds Phenotypes: SSH #1 & SSH #2 Stage: Flower – Week 4 Pots/Medium: 11L fabric pots, custom super soil with Aptus amendments Watering: Hand watering (guided by substrate moisture) Tent: 8×8 shared environment Control: TrolMaster Hydro-X + Tent-X, WCS substrate sensors Lighting: Future Of Grow Black Series 600W + ThinkGrow ICL-300 (x2) + Lumatek Zeus Compact Pro 465W Climate this week: ~29–30 °C, RH 60–65%, VPD ~1.3–1.4 kPa, CO₂ ~700 ppm ⸻ Snapshot of the Week Week 4 marks the true turning point in flower. Both SSH girls are thriving, healthy, vigorous, and balanced like twins. Their bud sites are swelling, white pistils are thick and abundant, and the morphology shows textbook hybrid traits: broad yet elegant leaves, dense node spacing, and compact stacking. What’s especially impressive: • Consistency: Both phenos remain very similar in form and pace. • Bud set: Flowers are already defined and filling out evenly across the canopy. • Health: Zero stress from previous light defol, strong root expansion, and steady nutrient uptake. ⸻ Feeding Strategy – Why We Adjusted This week we removed Aptus All-In-One Liquid and Aptus Top Booster. Here’s why: • The super soil recipe prepared earlier already contains a strong base of NPK from pellets and amendments. At this stage, overfeeding could disrupt balance or push excess salts. • Instead, we’re focusing on boosters and stimulants to enhance flower initiation, resin metabolism, and plant resilience. Current Mix (per liter): • Aptus Regulator (0.15 ml) → Improves nutrient uptake, strengthens tissue, boosts stress tolerance. • Aptus CalMag Boost (0.25 ml) → Keeps structural integrity high under intense light and CO₂ conditions. • Plagron Power Buds (1 ml) → Stimulates rapid floral development and tighter bud formation. • Plagron Sugar Royal (1 ml) → Biostimulant that enhances secondary metabolism, terpenes, and resin potential. • Plagron Green Sensation (1 ml) → Complete flowering stimulator, focusing on density, aroma, and taste. Why this recipe works now: The soil provides the “meal,” while the boosters are the “spices.” We’re enhancing flavor, weight, and resilience without overwhelming the root zone. ⸻ Environmental Dynamics • Temperature: Still on the warm side (~29–30 °C), but stable. The incoming AC will soon help bring conditions closer to optimal. • Humidity: RH floats around 60–65%. At this flower stage, still acceptable, but we’re monitoring carefully to avoid mold risks as flowers thicken. • VPD: ~1.3–1.4 kPa. This is within a healthy mid-flower range—enough transpiration to drive nutrient uptake without locking stomata. • CO₂: ~700 ppm. Boosting photosynthesis and energy flow under high-intensity LEDs. Why this matters now: Flowering metabolism is extremely demanding—sugars, nutrients, and water must all move efficiently. Stable VPD, good airflow, and consistent irrigation ensure every part of the canopy stays productive. ⸻ Gear Check – Shoutouts • Lighting: The F.O.G. Black Series 600W, ThinkGrow ICL-300s, and Lumatek Zeus Compact Pro 465W are delivering a rich, full-spectrum spread with great canopy penetration. This balanced array ensures bud development isn’t just on top colas but throughout the plant. • Control & Monitoring: The TrolMaster Hydro-X + Tent-X system, coupled with WCS substrate sensors, allows precise irrigation based on actual root-zone moisture, EC, and temperature. This data-driven approach prevents over- or under-watering, keeps the medium stable, and maximizes nutrient efficiency. • Airflow & Filtration: Dual 6” extractors with carbon filters maintain fresh air exchange while neutralizing odors. Clean air is not just about smell control—it’s about disease prevention and consistent CO₂ delivery. ⸻ Education Corner – What Week 4 Flower Means At this stage, the plant is fully committed to flowering. • What to expect now: • Steady bud swelling, with white pistils covering all main sites. • A slight increase in daily water consumption. • Noticeable aroma starting to form—terpenes are building. • What NOT to expect yet: • No heavy trichome coverage—resin glands usually start to pop in weeks 5–6. • No “final bulk”—density and mass pack on in late flower (weeks 6–8+). ⸻ Looking Ahead to Week 5 • Bud Bulk: Expect pistils to continue exploding as flowers begin their first swelling cycle. • Trichomes: Resin production will soon kick in, expect frost to start appearing. • Environment: With AC in place, temps should drop into the mid-20s °C, and VPD will fall closer to the “sweet spot” for dense flowers and reduced disease pressure. • Defol Touch-ups: Another light defoliation may be needed around week 5–6 to open up bud sites deeper in the canopy. ⸻ Final Thoughts This Week The Super Silver Haze legacy is shining through, these phenos are vigorous, symmetrical, and stable, a perfect balance of old-school genetics and modern growing science.

Hey growmies, it's the fourth week of vegetation for the HighCloudz and boy is it growing 👌 The fanleafs are really big, bigger than my hand! The plant is doing well on the Plagron feeding and looks very healthy. As the plant grows fast already I'm thinking about switching to 12/12 before the end of the week. I don't have that much vertical space in my growbox and this lady will probably stretch due to it's Sativa genetics. To prepare the branches for the ScrOG I started to bend them outwards. My goal is to get a nice and even canopy once she starts blooming. Stay tuned for more pics and updates later this week 😊 🌿🌿🌿 Mid-week update Even though the big fanleafs were cool, they blocked the light to the lower branches. I removed the biggest fanleafs and did some more LST for the upper branches, bending them outwards and to the side so they will hopefully have a good spot in the ScrOG net. The pant looks a bit run down after the defoliation and Cannabis bondage, but hey, she still has many weeks to go and I'm confident she will be a beauty once again :)

This week I switched from feeding them the General Hydroponics MaxiBloom to KoolBloom. I kept the same pattern with feeding. I feed them the nutrients then just pH'd plain H20 the following day. I pH at 5.8-5.9. I also defoliate as I go so the plant doesn't get stressed out and stop focusing on flowering. These ladies are definitely starting to stink and get sticky!

They have started to pick up well after the deficiencies but it shouldn't have slowed them down that much. These are stated as 6 to 7 week flowering time and we are nowhere near finished yet........
