Welcome back GD! Just in time as my Stress Killer Automatic is waiting some more days to be harvested, I’m starting this new project with the original, most famous, Silver Haze from Sensi Seeds. I’ve dreamed about her for so long now. Since Sativas love summer, I thought this would be the right time to do it. So let’s get started! Same setting as my last growth, even if I’m thinking about buying another LED panel later as soon as flowering time comes. Will be using my 384W led panel on full spectrum in both veg and flowering. There will be one plant only, and a big pot that will come after 2 or 3 transplants. There will be a monster SCROG as well, in the hope of handling flowering stretch decently under the net! It’s gonna be veeery interesting! Okay, let’s talk about this first week. I planted the seed in a RQS starter pot (no mycorrhizae unfortunately), and it sprouted after 5 days. On day 6 I removed the seed cover manually and transplanted this baby in a temporary 5L airpot. On day 7 I moved her in the grow room. She’s looking nice!

This week I added the humidifier to keep a constant RH of 70%. 0.125L of PH’d 5.8 tap water each hour. At about day 15, or directly next week, I’ll give her the first feeding. Just 1/3 of the recommended dosage, to begin. Day 13 update: I put Voodoo Juice, Tarantula and Piranha in the reservoir at 1ml/L. That was 30ml of each, and they didn’t change the ppm of the solution (which was 116). Just a 0.3 points increase of the PH. Day 14 update: since I noticed some little white spots on one leaf, I decided to give some Neem Oil (10ml/L) as foliar spray. I even added 1ml/L of B-52 in the same spray solution. Then I added some Rhino Skin (1ml/L) to the reservoir solution, which increased the PPM from 116 to 163. Runoff ppm is 207. I don’t know why, but my reservoir PH keeps rising. If now I set it at 5.6, or 5.8 directly, tomorrow it will be something near 7.8/8. And I’m still not using any product with PH Perfect technology. I don’t know.

Neem oil + B-52 sprayed on leaves last week made them curl down a bit. But she’s feeling good. I think some N is needed (some leaves are about to turn yellow). It’s definitely time to start with NPK nutes! Day 18 update: changed reservoir solution (removed the one with Voodoo Juice, Tarantula, Piranha and Rhino Skin) and added the first NPK nutes. 1ml/L of Connoisseur A+B didn’t trigger the PH Perfect formula in the solution: it decreased the PH a little, but not totally. I had to fix with some PH- from General Hydroponics. With a starting PPM of 130 (tap water), actual PPM in the reservoir is 547. Will see how runoff one changes over next days. Day 19 update: on day 18 I noticed a burned leaf. Today I got a couple more, which means that some overfeeding’s going on. I immediately switched back to tap water with PH 5.8. I don’t know if that’s related to foliar solution of B-52 + Neem oil, or to nutes I gave her for one week (fungi and bacteria + silica). What I understood here is that Silver Haze doesn’t like nutes too much. Will be giving half dosage and not more in the future! Day 21 update: I had some days with just tap water and the baby seems healthier now. Since runoff PPM was 137, I added NPK nutes + B-52 + Voodoo Juice + Rhino Skin back, with dosage of 1/6 of the usual 2ml/L: 21L of reservoir water + a few more liters for eventual evaporation + 7ml of each product instead of 42ml each. New PPM in the reservoir is 234.

Day 24 update: today I increased PPM to 400 with the reported dosage (comparing to previous week, now it’s 4ml/L for the Connoisseur Grow A+B, instead of 2ml/L). Talking about quantities: 24L of tap water (130ppm) in the reservoir, and used 16ml each of Connoisseur Grow A and B, and 8ml each for B-52, Voodoo Juice and Rhino Skin. Since PH Perfect formula works with more quantity of nutrients, I had to use PH- to stabilize at 5.7. I’m only sure that tomorrow PH will be around 7.0 again, but I think it’s something related to my (perhaps defective) PH meter. It’s a very cheap one and I’ll buy another one very soon. The baby is looking good now! No more stresses, no more spider mites, just healthy growth. Let’s go!!! Day 25 update: we’ll I think I got an indica pheno! Not good..... I wanted a pure sativa! Day 26 update: since reservoir PPM was 400 and runoff one was 200 (with increasing PH), I increased reservoir PPM to 600 (it’s a value between 589 and 607). Let’s see if the baby will appreciate this new value. Since the day I increased it to 400, she literally exploded. I also topped at 5th node. The fun part is starting just now!

Day 28 update: I think the light was too close to the plant, so I increased the distance to 50cm. It should help with the stretch of lower branches. Then I switched to Advanced Nutrients feed chart, adding 4ml/L of A+B formula and 2ml/L of other additives (for every liter in the reservoir). This made the ppm go crazy. Let’s see what happens, but I don’t like these unclear instructions. Ph Perfect keeps the ph stable for just a few hours, and they don’t say anything about ppm. Bad! Day 30 update: LST session + defoliation on fan leaves that were hiding lower branches. Day 32 update: transplanted to her final 20L AirPot (from a 5L one)! Added some michorrizhae as well where I placed the plant. Since I got a bigger pot, now it’s 250ml of solution every hour, instead of the previous 125ml. Day 34 update: immediately stopped using Advanced Nutrients feed chart (from their calculator) because I had that crazy 3100 ppm in the reservoir and noticed a small sign of overfeeding on a leaf in the top. I removed part of the solution and added tap water back until I got about 800 ppm. NOT HAPPY! Day 35: LST! Again

Grow Questions

TOTEMstarted grow question 7 years ago
I tried Advanced Nutrients feeding calculator. 30L reservoir full of tap water (130ppm) and, in total, 120ml for both Connoisseur A+B, and 60ml for each of the 3 additives. I did exactly what they suggested and measured EC after mixing up well. Is it normal to have this crazy EC?

Your plant has gone from a snug fit in a 5l pot to a very lose fit in a 20l pot. You've gone straight from feeding it 5l worth of food to 4xthat in the new 20l pot. When transplanting I would advise using 1/4 to 1/3 of the 20l AN nute regime until the plant has started to fill up the new 20l pot. When it's half filled it, use half the recommended dose for a 20l pot, etc.

*** About the question I sent: that “crazy” EC I was talking about last week was 3100 PPM, not the one you see on this week. *** This week I’m enlarging the plant as much as I can to prepare her for the scrOG. Day 40: LST + defoliation

Getting ready for flowering! On day 45 I placed a metal grid (90x90cm) on the bottom of the pot and a same one on the top as a scrog grid. Then I did a huge defoliation removing as much as I could under the net, exposing many small colas that were covered by upper leaves. On day 46 I didn’t switch off the lights in the night, so the princess has been awake for more than a day. I switched off the lights in the morning. After about 30 hours of darkness, on day 47 I switched lights back on and set up the timer for the switch to 12/12. In this first week I’m waiting for the plant to empty the reservoir, then 2 days of flush, and will start kicking bloom nutes (with fungi, bacteria and sugars) at half dosage next week.

Flowers popped up and stretch is still going on, though is less evident at the moment. On day 59 I did a huge defoliation and removed everything under the grid. This has stressed the plant and she’s still recovering (day 61), also because she’s been without waterings for more than 24 hours (my fault, I didn’t notice water pump was plugged off). I hope the stretch doesn’t stop here, because I’d like to fill all (or almost all) the grid. This week I added Big Bud and decreased Voodoo Juice, Tarantula and Piranha to 1ml/L because I run out of them lol.

She’s still stretching! This week I removed Voodoo Juice, Tarantula and Piranha, and added B-52 and Bud Factor X (never tried this one before). Since the princess loves this 2ml/L dosage for NPK nutes, I’ll not be touching that for the moment. That seems to be the optimal dosage for a sativa like this. Very nice!

Well I did some lst to enlarge flowers a little more. Day 76: that is actually a nice photoshoot! I love how these flowers are getting bigger every other day, and their shape is gorgeous already. The smell is now even stronger, so my air extractor needs to be always on!

Day 89: last defoliation to help light penetrate down to lower flowers. I’m angry because I cut a flower! Day 90 and 91: two days of flush with PH 5.8 tap water and Flawless Finish @ 2ml/L. Will come back with some PK boost at the end. Unfortunately RH is still very high, but it’s not a problem for the moment. From now I should only change nutrients solution every week and take photos.

Everything good except a bit of salt buildup caused by a poor runoff over the last weeks. You can see this by looking at almost every tip of the leaves. Last week Amazon had some problems delivering new ferts, so from day 97 to 101 I gave just 1ml/L of Bud Factor X and no Bud Candy and Sensizym at all. On day 101 I made a new nutes mix, and it’s the one you can see on GD. No more Bud Factor X because it’s very expensive and I don’t think I’ll need it for just two more weeks. I used 1ml/L of Cal Mag Xtra because I ended my Connoisseur Bloom Part A too. Lol, it’s been a problem. I ordered some Sensi Bloom Coco A+B and another Bud Candy for the last two weeks by the way. Flowers are now enlarging since the first day I added Overdrive. Very very good, I like this Silver Haze.

Guys, it's getting so boring! Waiting, and waiting, and waiting. Come on! This is the last week with nutes. Flush is coming! Trichs are partially cloudy, but many of them are still transparent. This is a good news. I hate those damaged leaves, and they're a clear sign that I could find nutes in final buds. No way. I need to clear up every single particle of salts from that medium, and eventually make the plant absorb energies from her fan leaves. Fingers crossed!

Day 121: HARVEST DAY! Omg, those fan leaves are really embarrassing! This is what happens when you follow Advanced Nutrients schedule at full strength. This is my last run with them. Expensive, and not clear with instructions and dosages. In this last (half) week I’ve given just PH’d water and, since the first time I used Flawless Finish two weeks ago, runoff ppm started from 4000 (I don’t remember the exact value very well) and went to 130 (tap water). Leaves didn’t get yellow because of Rhino Skin I used during the first weeks of flowering. I’ll update harvest page as soon as I finished harvesting and took some good photos. See you soon!
