🌸 Week 7 – Flower Stage: When Trouble Knocks, We Learn Grower: Dog Doctor Strain: Super Silver Haze Breeder: Zamnesia Seeds Light: Future of Grow Black Series 600W & ThinkGrow ICL-300 Environment: 8x8 Shared Tent – Controlled by TrolMaster System Temp: 29.4°C (day) / 25.6°C (night) Humidity: 64–68% CO₂: ~720 ppm Soil Temp: 24.8°C Watering: Manual (Hand Watering) Water Mix (per L): • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml • Aptus All-In-One Liquid – 1 ml • Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml • Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml • Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml ⸻ 🌿 The Week the Storm Passed Through This week brought a little challenge to the garden — bud rot made an appearance. It’s never a welcome guest, but it’s part of the growing journey, and it teaches you more than any perfect run ever could. It started small: a couple of darker spots noticed deep inside one of the colas. Upon closer inspection, we confirmed it — Botrytis cinerea, or as growers call it, bud rot. Thankfully, it was localized and quickly handled, removing all affected material carefully to avoid spreading spores. Despite how dramatic macro photos can make it look, the loss was minimal. The rest of the canopy remains healthy, strong, and radiant under the LEDs. The girls keep thriving like the true champions they are. ⸻ 🧠 Educational Spotlight – What Is Bud Rot (and What It Isn’t) Bud rot is a fungal infection caused by Botrytis cinerea. It thrives in warm, humid, stagnant environments — the kind of microclimate that can form in thick buds during late flower. It usually begins inside the bud, invisible at first, and works its way outward, leaving behind a grayish-brown, dusty rot that can ruin entire flowers if unnoticed. Early warning signs: • Brown or gray fuzz inside the cola • Dry, dead sugar leaves sticking out of healthy buds • A musty or “old hay” smell Prevention is everything: 🌬️ Keep strong airflow through and between plants 💨 Maintain active extraction and oscillating fans 🌡️ Lower humidity to 50% or below during late flower 🌗 Avoid large night/day temperature swings ✂️ Remove excess inner foliage (selective defoliation) For a deep dive into identifying, preventing, and treating bud rot, check out Zamnesia’s excellent guide: 🔗 Zamnesia – Bud Rot: The Cannabis Grower’s Guide - https://www.zamnesia.com/grow-weed/563-bud-rot-cannabis-grower-guide ⸻ 💬 Reflection – The Grower’s Responsibility Let’s be honest — this one’s on me. It’s a new setup, and with every new tent comes a new rhythm to learn. The temperatures are still higher than I’d like, and humidity sometimes pushes the edge. But that’s what growing is — progress through imperfection. The key is to act fast, learn faster, and never let one small setback derail the entire grow. The good news: both Super Silver Haze phenos continue to look absolutely stunning — symmetrical, resilient, and full of that legendary vigor that made this strain an icon. ⸻ 🌸 What to Expect Next As we move into Week 8, we’ll be: • Reducing humidity and increasing airflow • Keeping close watch on moisture and leaf density • Fine-tuning the TrolMaster environment controls • Allowing buds to fatten, harden, and mature into their final form We’re entering the critical ripening phase, where patience and precision make all the difference. ⸻ 🌾 Grower-to-Grower Corner – Preventing Bud Rot Since every grower faces this risk sooner or later, here are a few small habits that make a massive difference: 1. Prune with intent: Create small “air highways” between branches so moisture can escape. 2. Nighttime is key: Rot thrives in cool, humid nights. Keep fans on and air moving even when lights are off. 3. Monitor VPD: Around 1.2–1.4 kPa is ideal for mid-late flower; beyond 1.6 increases risk. 4. Inspect daily: Use your eyes and your nose — the first clue is often a smell, not a sight. 5. Clean the space: Mold spores can live in your tent, filters, and even fans. Sanitize between runs. Remember: Bud rot doesn’t mean failure; it means evolution. Every grow that survives it creates a smarter grower. ⸻ 💚 Closing Thoughts This week was a humbling reminder that even under the best light, nature still has the final say. But she also rewards those who pay attention, act fast, and grow with love. The Super Silver Haze continues to honor her legacy — strong, aromatic, and beautifully structured.

Had these pictures on my memory stick was going to upload them at some point haha better late than never... Nice lush green growth after defoliation and a double dose of nutrients to help her recover from it.

In crisis control now there doing there thing the west coast had a few calmah issues but seems to of responded well they all smell amazing but the blue dream atm smells like sweet candy blueberry’s with a slight citrus if it tastes as good as it smell I can’t wait

I just add 13 hrs from 11 hrs Believe in Organic living soil

A great pleasure to grow this strain and the automatic version is a really good surprise. I will surely growing it again.

[DAY 57] - 27/07/2022 - Lamp 40 cm from the center of the canopy and 100% dimmer (150 watt); - TEMP. 29°-30° - RH 70%; - In the next few days I will raise the EC from 1.2/1.3 up to 1.5/1.7 and increase the bloom dose, at the moment I am still giving the pre-flo dose; - I'm trying to promote the growth of the left side and for this reason I moved the lamp far to the left in order to get more light in those still low points (for two days, then it will come back to the center of the box); - This also allows me to bring the lamp closer to the highest right branch, as it only gets side light. For this reason, despite the proximity there should be no burning problems, I will keep the situation under control; [DAY 58] - 28/07/2022 - Lamp 40 cm from the center of the canopy and 100% dimmer (150 watt); - TEMP. 29°-30° - RH 70%; - EC 1.5 - PH 6; - Today I added 1.5 liter to the DWC with this composition: Water EC 0; Silicate and CalMag up to 0.4; A+B up to 1.4; Bloombastic up to 1.7; 0.2 ml/l Hydro booster; 2 ml/l H2O2 [DAY 59] - 29/07/2022 - Lamp 44 cm from the center of the canopy (22 cm from the top) and 100% dimmer (150 watt); - moved the lamp 10 cm away more to promote stretch (tip by my friend @SwissKush); - TEMP. 29°-30° - RH 70%; - EC 1.5 - PH 6; - A lot of resin on the leaves, nice smell; - Took a video for a growquestion. [DAY 60] - 30/07/2022 - Lamp 43 cm from the center of the canopy (20 cm from the top) and 100% dimmer (150 watt); - tomorrow I raise lamp 5 cm more; - TEMP. 29°-30° - RH 70%; - EC 1.7 - PH 6; - Removed 3 damaged leaves, with the beginning of next week I will make a big cut under the net, there are too many leaves and flowering sites that do not take light and it is useless to keep them; - She's drinking about 2.5 liter of solution/day [DAY 61] - 31/07/2022 - Lamp 46 cm from the center of the canopy (23 cm from the top) and 100% dimmer (150 watt); - TEMP. 29°-30° - RH 60%; - EC 2 - PH 5.9; - Removed some damaged leaves and a few leaves that were stealing too much light to the lower flowering sites, about fifteen leaves removed. 10 hours to recover from it. Still a lot to cut down there in the coming days when buds begin to form; - The EC went up by about 0.3 in 24 hours, this is due to the Bloombastic, the plant does not want it for now; - From tomorrow I will proceed to a small flush by adding 2 liters of water a day with EC 0 to prepare the DWC for the new feed for the new week (which will start on day 64). [DAY 62] - 1/8/2022 - Lamp 46 cm from the center of the canopy (22 cm from the top) and 100% dimmer (150 watt); - TEMP. 30°/31° - RH 40-50%; - EC 1.8 - PH 5.8; added 2 liter of demineralized water EC 0 - PHed [DAY 63] - 2/8/2022 - Lamp 46 cm from the center of the canopy (22 cm from the top) and 100% dimmer (144 watt); - I DON'T KNOW WHY BUT SMART PLUG SAYS: 144 WATT AT 100% DIMMER. I don't like it! - TEMP. 30°/31° - RH 40-50%; - EC 1.6 - PH 6; added 2 liter of demineralized water EC 0 - PHed. Tomorrow I'll replace the whole bucket with new feed EC 1.7 PH 6; - I believe the plant is no longer growing, and I also notice that the buds are slowly swelling. Tomorrow I tie back the main colas and then in the next days I will remove everything that does not get light, I hope it reacts well 🙏

Day 6 - defoliation of tainted leaves and LST training

ปกติดี

I sliced my thumb open so this weeks report will be short. We had budlets show up and have come in strong. All 7 colas are firm and strong. I was able to apply some tie downs to allow more light in to the bottom canopy. No issues to report other than some small colored tips that I’ll keep my eye on. The environment is pretty solid. No issues there to report. In case you didn’t know, we are approaching the most crucial weeks of flowering, weeks 4-6. From my research, this is a very crucial time for cannabis plants. Hopefully my thumb will have healed up next week. This is what I get for planting a tree on Earth day while stoned!

From day 28 to 35 it slowed down a lot on gaining height, going from 24in to 26. It went from a little bit of signs of flowering to boom out of no where a lot more. I started bloom boost for the first time on morning of day 34, day 35 today I realized the bottle I bought says Orchid bloom boost 😂 🤦‍♀️🏼 🤷‍♀️🏼 I have to look for something else probably 😂 It’s fun to watch it change. I sprayed for the fungus knats twice now, just the soil. I recently noticed a lot of shadows as well, so we bought a bigger light and changed our system around a little. I figure if it’s flowering then more light can’t hurt? This is my first grow, although I am familiar with regular plants this Auto flower is all new to me! Any tips and suggestions are welcome! I did not top it or LST it, it seems to be doing so good I wish I would have 🤷‍♀️🏼 Not sure if I should tie it off now? The top is getting heavy anyway and if I could lean it a little the light would get in there more? The smell is amazing! Super excited to see what happens when it’s all done 🤩 Thanks for reading & any info or opinions are welcome lol

Day 71. Girls are still stretching !!! Will supercrop biggest Blue Dream this Monday or maybe Sunday if i am lucky. I think next watering is on Saturday and it takes 2 days , so i can do it only before watering, less damage to plant and hopefully quicker recovery !!! But they reach sky, so no other way ! This week will be updated after main actions. Amazing run ! Day 72. Supercrop and watering day, before this - plants look amazing, but they reach sky and will go hermie in shade most of the time. Will update AFTER ... ;)) Job done ! Moved monster to the corner and supercroped her hard, left two colas untouched. Think Blue Dream #2 could need same drastic measures ;))) All girls got feed, raised lights to max. Hope stretch is over, otherwise half of harvest larva buds and i already cleared plants heavily ... One more round of defoliation for sure ! Day 75. Blue Dream took supercroping like nothing, still reduced watering on 25% for two goes, tops already standing up, leaves reverted to new horizont and hopefully no bananas !!! ;)) Girls got water with CalMag and video is straight after last round, i water in 3 rounds, 30 min inbetween, have no run off most of the time. Happy Growing !

I don't have much to show or say for this week.. It was incredible to notice the radical differences in the plants appearance in just sever days but it was also quite nerve wracking!!! Once I got the plant transferred I decided to go ahead and feed her with Green Planet's Medi-One (an organic bottled nutrient that I still had lying around). The original plan was to attempt a dry amendment grow but as the dry amendments where no where to be found after placing my order, I opted to use what I had handy. I went ahead with a water soluble nutrient that would immediately activate the roots and supply nutrients to the sterile medium and I am happy that I did. The very next day after the 1st feeding the plant already started to look different and just "perkier"
