First week of flowering and I'm keeping her under the net as much as I can. She is starting to pre flower and seems to have a good shape and color.

2nd week in the books. Nothing special to report. She is doing great. I know it's boring update. But no news are good news
Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Completing the 3rd week of flowering and I'm keeping her under the net. Looking forward to seeing week 4 and 5. Once she gets there I'll move her to the other tent and try to drive more light in for the final stages.
22/feb
Started to show really nasty purple leafs that are weak.
Tested the runoff got 6.3 ph and 2k ppm.
The other plant seems fine with same food regiment.
I'll remove the green sensation and keep basic food.
Lemon Shining Silver Haze Strain Review
by timbarin
Preface
It takes me roughly two months to write a smoke review.
Instead of counting the time, I count the experiences shared with close friends and others. Those moments are what shape the smoke review. What can never truly be captured, though, are the feelings. :-)
I do not sell, distribute, or do anything with my product besides using it for personal consumption and journaling. All reviews are unbiased and based on input from several people.

First Impressions
Lemon Shining Silver Haze is a powerful Sativa-dominant strain born from two citrus-rich legends: Lemon Skunk and Shining Silver Haze.
It clocks in at around 25% THC and delivers a strong, energetic cerebral high—perfect for boosting mood, sparking creativity, and staying engaged.
The flavor is vibrant and bold: intense lemon, layered with sour citrus, subtle sweetness, and just the right touch of dank skunk. It’s a full-flavored experience whether you’re smoking or vaping.
Its high limonene content enhances not just the flavor, but the clear-headed, uplifting high as well.
No wonder it took home the gold at the 2008 High Times Cannabis Cup.
This one’s for flavor chasers and potency lovers alike.
Grow Cycle
Growing this strain was fairly straightforward:
Start: Seedling in a 1L pot
Transplant: After 4 weeks, moved to a 15L pot with netting to manage vertical growth
Structure: Classic Sativa—tall and a bit lanky
Lighting: 300W LED in a large tent
Flowering Time: ~8 weeks
We encountered our only issue around week 5 of flowering. Rust spots appeared on the leaves. The runoff was 6.3 pH with PPM at 1300—right where it should be—so we suspected a nutrient lockout. A couple of flushes helped stabilize things, and luckily, the issue didn’t worsen.
The final three weeks were smooth. She fattened up nicely and was ready to chop after the 8-week mark.
Bud structure: Long (6–8 cm), cone-shaped, and straight-up look like baby Christmas trees. Dense and frosty.
Smoke Review
This strain hits hard with that classic Sativa buzz—psychedelic, uplifting, and productive.
The first time I tried it, I felt like electricity was flowing through my veins. It kept me alert for two solid hours. The only problem? I had nothing to do that day. It was a lazy weekend. ;-)
This is the kind of strain made for movement and connection—thinking, hiking, journaling, deep convos, or even just getting some cleaning done while zoning into a playlist.
The weather's crap at the moment, but I can picture myself walking through a forest, admiring every little living thing, taking a slow puff, and reflecting on life goals and next steps.
Final Thoughts
Lemon Shining Silver Haze is for people who like their weed with flavor, punch, and purpose.
Perfect for:
Outdoor adventures
Creative work
Energetic social hangs
Reflective solo time
Not ideal for:
Trying to fall asleep
Low-tolerance smokers looking for a mellow time
If you're into citrus-heavy strains that deliver both taste and intensity, this one is a must-try.
