Guerilla Super Silver Haze Auto

The details I described are relative numbers, since the weather was constantly changing and we had lots of rainy, windy, cold days but then a week of 28-32° C daytimes which were super dry. For the nutrients, I decided for a very easy setup of basic stuff that worked perfectly fine. I measured the numbers I put into the water a bit higher than I would recommend for indoors, because its a liquid- which is fading a lot more than top-dressing/dry nutrients. Besides 2 plants showing the same mutation you will find on my other spot (Gorilla Glue Auto + Lemon Haze Auto), the other 13 ladies are developing ordinary and very well. Mutations might get processed into some quality iceolator (bubble hash) if the bud development will be as small as I assume. For the training I only did a very little defoliation (almost none). I recommend to not train your autos outdoors, my research showed that even growers with a perfect environment such as people from Cali can have decreased yield and crippled buds if they train their autos. Of course this is a generalisation, however I recommend it because you will be on the save side. Some automatic strains may develop well if you LST/top them outdoors but most won't, as the general info seems. Plants were set outside after 2 1/2 weeks of veg under a Sanlight Q6W (1st gen). Currently in flower week 8.

As described in my photo diary (same spot) the temperatures changed from ok'ish to pretty bad within the last 2 weeks. Rainy, cloudy, windy, high humdity. Nevertheless, the Super Silver Haze Auto by Zambeza shows her strong genetics. Not a single sign of mildew, mold and not being weakened a bit, even though the spot has plenty of different insects living there in full joy! Lovely to grow. I gave them all a huge boost of nutrients this week with 30x more nitrogen hoping to boost their bud development and overall health. (Also due to the fact that I'm using liquid BioBizz products here, which seem to fade a lot due to the rainy weather).

Ladies received a heavy feed again + defoliation. Some juicy frosty buds got eaten off + some of the branches that grew out. Got some random animal intruders on this spot, as described on my photo diary. Overall the buds are already surprisingly dense, SUPER sticky and have that distinguishing Super Silver Haze smell that you will typically get from coffeeshops in Holland. I am looking forward to their last weeks, as most plants started thickening up and creating big main colas. Only one out of the 15 plants had 2 small spots of mold on it. We had some very heavy rainy days and I'm really surprised that was only on one lady. Great outdoor genetics for the northern hemisphere by Zambeza - well done guys!

As you can see on the last pictures, I had a big botrytis problem. Never had to deal with that before but it couldn't be avoided because my spot is right in the woods and super humid when it rains. And we had a lot of rain the past few weeks. Actually a terrible summer for outdoors. Nonetheless, I harvested as much as I could (left a few small branches which didn't have developed buds). However, the nightmare was not over. After checking on my buds in the drying net 2 days after harvest, I noticed more mold that spread across all the big main colas. Yep.. I had to chop off all the moldy stuff and basically destroy every single main cola. I've put everything into the freezer because it is still super stinky and I might process the moldy stuff into oil. The process will kill all the fungi/spores and mold and only the extracts will be left over. The trim was a good, juicy and sticky amount that will be processed into bubble hash alongside the Gorilla Autos. Once the stuff is properly dried (approximately Friday) I will do a smoke report before weighing and jaring up.
