Orange Bud, Super Lemon Haze

Samsimillia The first 5 weeks in the growth phase. The Orange Bud is clearly growing slower than the other two. The Orange Bud was topped once, while the other two were topped twice. At the beginning, the plants were in a 1L pot, then in a 5L pot, and then I transplanted into a 14L pot. I added mycorrhiza to the soil and at first only fertilized with Calmag, Pure Zym, and Power Roots, then added Terra Grow as well.

Samsimillia A summary of weeks 5-7. The pH value in the substrate/drain is at 5.5. I can't get the pH up; I'm watering with 6.4 (can't go higher) and have already sprinkled dolomite lime into the soil. However, the plants seem to be doing quite well. The substrate is about 20% coconut, which is probably the reason. But since the plants look healthy, I'm not changing much for now. Unfortunately, I broke a shoot on the Orange Bud. I stabilized the shoot with some plant wire. The break has slowly healed, and the shoot is saved.

Samsimillia I lollipopped the plants again before flowering and set up a SCROG net. I'm still feeding with Power Roots (which I'll be dropping soon), Pure Zym, and a mix of Terra Bloom and Terra Grow to give the plant the necessary nutrients during the stretch. Unfortunately, the Orange Bud has stayed noticeably smaller.

Samsimillia I've partially threaded the plant further through the SCROG net and tied the shoots down. My tent might be a bit too small, but I'll manage. Otherwise, the pH value is still at 5.5, but the plants seem to like it. I've raised the EC to 1.5 and I'm now giving more bloom and less grow.

Samsimillia I did some lollipopping on flower day 21, as you can see in the picture. The pH value is slowly rising to 5.7-6.0 depending on the plant. The plants are eating well, and the EC is always noticeably lower than in the watering water. I'm watering about 3L with 1.6 EC. Otherwise, the ladies are doing well. The Orange Bud was smaller from the start, so I had to put it on a cardboard box.

Samsimillia Right now, I'm watering with 0.5ml/L calmag, 4ml Bloom, 1ml green Sensation, 1ml pure zym, and newly added 1ml/L sugar royale. The watering solution has an EC of 1.8-9 and a pH of about 6.2. The drain varies a bit; while the Orange Bud is really eating well and the drain is at 0.9 EC, the drain for the other two plants is more around 1.3-4 EC. If the EC in the drain rises, I will reduce the Bloom fertilizer a bit, but for now, I’ll stick to this schedule. The pH is slowly stabilizing for all three plants and is between 5.8 and 6.0. The tent smells like lemon and orange. The buds from the Super Lemon Haze have a strong scent and remind me of orange or lemon soda. The Orange Bud smells significantly less strong, slightly like orange. The Super Silver Haze, on the other hand, has hardly developed any smell so far.

Samsimillia I reduced the nutrients because the EC in the drain has increased. The plants obviously don't need as many nutrients right now. This week, I watered with 0.5 calmag, 2.5 Bloom, 1 pure zym, 1 green Sensation, and 1ml/L sugar royale. The silver haze is probably the furthest along, and I could check the trichomes soon. The harvest time should be between December 4th and December 11th. In my estimation, that could work. The other two plants seem to need a bit longer at first glance.

Samsimillia The buds are developing nicely and are gaining mass well. The EC is stabilizing further, and the plant continues to show no signs of over-fertilization or anything like that.

Samsimillia The Silver Haze and the Orange Bud are nearing the end. With the Orange Bud, there are even the first amber trichomes, but still a lot of clear ones. The Super Silver Haze had an EC of 2.0 in the drain, so I skipped the bloom once and ended up back at an EC of 1.5 in the drain. I will continue watering with 2ml Bloom, 1ml Green Sensation, 1ml Pure Zym, 1ml Sugar Royale, and 0.5ml/L Calmag. I’m still adding the Bloom to keep the NPK ratio from getting too disturbed until I start flushing. The Super Lemon Haze probably takes the longest and is still full of the white hairs.

Samsimillia The Orange Bud is being flushed with 1ml/L Pure Zym and adjusted to 6.5 with pH-minus. The trichomes are already milky, some are amber-colored. I should be able to harvest in 1-2 weeks. It smells very earthy and like pine. For the Super Silver Haze, I'm not giving any more Bloom due to the high EC. The trichomes are clear/milky. I'll start flushing soon. It has a sweet and spicy smell. The Super Lemon Haze continues to get 2-3ml/L Bloom and the other additives (Green Sensation, Pure Zym, Sugar Royale, Calmag). It will take the longest. It smells extremely fruity, like orange and lemon.

Samsimillia I partially harvested the Orange Bud. The upper buds were already full of amber-colored trichomes, but the lower ones still had clear and milky trichomes. I left a few headbuds to see if they gain some mass in the last week and to observe how the effect changes. I watered again with Pure Zym and have left the plant in dry stress for 2-3 days. Tomorrow (beginning of flowering week 10) I will harvest the rest. The Super Silver Haze and Super Lemon Haze are also being flushed now. The Super Silver Haze is extremely compact but is still building a bit of mass. The Super Lemon Haze is getting foxtails and is also still gaining mass. I should be able to harvest both in about 7-14 days. The Super Silver Haze will likely be a bit earlier.

Samsimillia So the Super Silver Haze is done and drying in the tent. I tried to darken the buds as much as possible while also ensuring that air circulation can happen. In the photos, it looks quite bright, but in reality, it's significantly darker under the cardboard. The buds have become pretty fat and dark/purple. The Super Lemon Haze is also nearing the end. In week 11 of flowering, I will harvest her as well. I have now flushed the drain with Pure Zym and Ph-minus to 0.6 ec and 6.4 ph. I had already adjusted the light to level 6/10 at the beginning of the week and switched to an 11/13 cycle to give the plant the final push for ripening.

Samsimillia I harvested the rest. 10/10! The buds are very heavy and super resinous but small. The plant produced relatively little yield. The taste and smell are earthy/pine and remind me of fresh forest soil with a bit of resin from a conifer. Incredibly delicious but not the orange flavor I was expecting. Still, an incredibly tasty skunk-heavy phenotype that I would grow again anytime. Due to the Lightmix/Coco mix, the pH value tilted at the beginning, which would explain the low yield. In the next grow, I will incorporate dolomite lime into the soil so that the lime can regulate the pH value.

Samsimillia A final weekly report in the flowering stage. I cut the Super Silver Haze and then hung it on the SCROG net and darkened it. I continued to flush the Super Lemon Haze with tap water and Pure Zym until the drain gradually reached 0.5 EC. The buds have become a bit too heavy for the branches, and I had to partially support them with strings. Additionally, I gave it another 2-3 days of dry stress and about 24 hours of darkness. Today, I also cut and hung the plant. The temperature is around 21 degrees, and the humidity fluctuates between 50-60%, but it has also peaked at up to 68%. I'll report everything else when the buds are dry.

Samsimillia Has a good sharpness and is just how you imagine a super silver haze. The effect is very pleasant.

Samsimillia Tastes like typical Haze with a nice lemon aftertaste. Very delicious and just how you remember the Super Lemon Haze!! I will definitely grow it again. The buds are very compact and resinous.
