Super Silver Haze OG ~ DWC ~ 2

Super Silver Haze OG (Feminised Photoperiod) ~Stateside Seeds~ https://statesideseeds.us/ 70/30 Sativa Dominant ~ Skunk #1, Northern Lights #5, Haze / OG Kush Flowering Time: 56-70 Days 18-25% THC ~1% CBD ~~~~~~~~~~ Much like my first grow, I think things went as well as can be expected. ~~~~~~~~~~ Seedling experiment was obviously a mistake. WAY easier to just go from dome tray, to a single or shared DWC setup. Luckily I was on it, saw the signs and got them transplanted immediately! No other issues until mid-veg, where I accidentally had two pumps with crushed tubing (under a bucket - woops!), affecting 4 plants. I caught it the next morning -but they were choked off just long enough to present some wonkiness later on. Among the plants with crushed tubing, we saw the following: -One plant shot out banana's the following day, big long ones! I trashed her immediately and sprayed down the entire grow space with water, to lock any pollen in place. -Had two plants with FIFTEEN point leaves...WOW 🐙 as well as single leaflets -One plant didn't grow a set of auxiliary's, and instead put out a tiny leaf...very odd, made for a 6 branch manafold/mainline -One had foxtails, from nearly top to bottom 🦊 She also stretched considerably more than the others that were affected the same way 🤷‍♂️🏻 -Two short gals, they stopped stretching very early compared to all the others -All were very slow starters when it came time to flower -Finished two weeks late (debatable - grower info/notes unavailable) The other two plants also had some issues, despite having no real indication as to why (beyond the stress training, mainline/manafold & LEDs) - (Edit Below - clogged air stones?) -Both had foxtails 🦊 Clearly the LED's fault, they were a little closer than I'd prefer. This was due to the 4 plants that were behind - we waited for them to catch up and these two of course kept growing. Normally I would consider some HST (slow them down / even them out), but that would not have been wise this grow, all things considered. -One plant hermed! Banana's & low-branch pollen sacs 😥 (removed with tweezers, & overnight prayers🙏) I have no reason to think it was for any other reason than the stress training it went through (and back and forth clogged air stones, edit below) The two plants that put out pollen sacs did pollinate all 4 others. BUT, no more banana's, no more hermie plants. This just means SOME seeds - not a big deal considering how fast we caught it & sprayed (I pulled 10-15 mature seeds per plant). And if my research is correct, those seeds are also "feminised" albeit inbred, Sweet!? I will revisit the strain at some point - and I will be sure to update this with any new findings. Edit: I was forced to swap out air stones throughout this grow due to phot-plus clogging them. Is more likely that the initial kink clogging throughout is to blame, rather than the plants genetics/resilience. Future grows with this strain will use a different bacillus product so as not to clog up the air stones - can retry mainline/manafolding and see where it gets us. The plant that had no issues other that some foxtails from the too-close LEDS - finished an entire two weeks earlier than the others, on time* (yielding 112.3 grams - reference previous weeks entry) Attempted to make some QWISO shatter from the first plants trim, using 90% Isopropyl...would NOT recommend! It will scald, and has all these tiny hairs in it 😠 Leaving it WAY too dark and tasting terrible. In the next run I learned that squeezing plant that has gone through a flush and a color change - is bad! You will get a nasty color and taste, better to not use that plant matter at all, or if you do - keep it fast and do not shake the jar! ~~~~~~~~~~ AAAAAAH, so close to 1 lbs.!!! Had I not had to trash a plant this grow, would have got there. Pulled 24.5g's of kief from the trimbin, and who knows how much shake altogether. I will be extracting the remaining plant-matter using QWISO for shatter. The first run was a quart jar of leaves & branches yielding 2.3g, and the second run was all the shake from trimming & the remaining satellite branches - yielding 7.3g (so 9.6 grams of shatter total so far* - still have a bag of sugar leaves to get at! I just ran out of solvent) Got some more solvent and used up the remaining sugar leaves - roughly 1/3 gallon bag (packed/frozen) - filled up two quart jars. Yield was 4.2, making for a total of 21.1 grams of shatter this harvest, all from extra plant material 😎 ~~~~~~~~~~ *I have spoken with seedsman on GrowDiaries directly about this strain, as well as the two L.E.'s I have, and they responded in kind with all the info they had on hand in regard to them. These came with a seedsman sticker on them, but they do NOT own them - you will not find them on the seedsman roster (though they had the strain info on hand). I know there has been some drama online / reddit concerning the nice lady who appears to have said just a little too much for her own good. Not sure this information amounts to anything - but the poor gal seems to have disappeared altogether - reddit / website, everything. Not sure what happened there, but now you know as much as I do on the topic. ~~~~~~~~~~ https://bit.ly/3MplXqf ^^^GrowAce Affiliate Link^^^ Use this if you want to show some support!
