This Week at a Glance
โข Structure: Both phenos are thriving and still tracking like twinsโcompact plants with clean symmetry now at ~120 cm. Bud sites are stacking; white pistils are abundant.
โข Leaf morphology: Classic hybrid lookโrounded blades, neither narrow โpure sativaโ nor broad โpure indica.โ
โข Roots: Pots are clearly โaliveโโgreat colonization and visible vigor through the fabric.
โข Defoliation: Performed a light defol only to open the canopy and improve airflow/light to interior sites. No heavy stripping.
โข Media & feed: Continuing the same program as last week (Aptus + Plagron). No All-In-One Liquid for nowโthe super-soil and pellets are carrying base NPK exactly as intended.
Fewer photos this week (busy!), but thereโs a room video and a couple of room shots showing the general happiness of the canopy.

Feeding Program (unchanged from Week 2)
โข Aptus: Regulator, CalMag Boost, Top Booster
โข Plagron: Power Buds, Sugar Royal, Green Sensation
โข Why this mix now: Weโve pivoted from early growth stimulation to floral support, aromatics, and metabolic efficiency. The super-soil + pellets provide the backbone; the liquids fine-tune the bloom signal and energy management.
(You noted solution pH ~6.3, low input EC because the medium is pre-charged, and healthy daily uptake at ~1.5โ2.0 L per plant, irrigating around 19โ20% substrate dryness, kept as operational context.)

Environment, Monitoring & Why It Matters
โข Temperature & RH: ~29.6 ยฐC and 67% RH. That calculates to VPD โ 1.37 kPa (not โ137โโdecimal matters).
โข What this does:
โข VPD in the 1.2โ1.5 kPa range drives active transpiration and nutrient flowโgood for biomass and stacking.
โข With higher temps, plants demand steady water availability and reliable Ca/Mg delivery to avoid tip-burn or micro-deficiencies.
โข Risks if this persists:
โข In late flower, warm & humid microclimates can increase powdery mildew/Botrytis pressure inside dense colas.
โข Heat can push foxtailing, reduce volatile terpene retention, and increase overall plant stress.
โข Mitigations already in play:
โข Light defol to open the canopy (great call).
โข Strong, clean airflow in the 8ร8 (dual 6โณ exhausts with carbon filters + filtered intake).
โข TrolMaster WCS sensor guiding irrigation by moisture and watching substrate ECโkeeps the rhizosphere stable.
โข AC unit arrivingโexpect a meaningful drop in day temps; aim to settle around mid-20s ยฐC with RH mid-50s as flowers pack on.
โข Lighting layout: F.O.G. Black Series 600W + ThinkGrow ICL-300s + Lumatek Zeus 465W provide a broad, balanced spectrum across the room. PPFD varies by position (natural growth and fixture spread), which is fineโsite-by-site variation keeps edges productive while the center stacks. As biomass increases, incremental dimming or fixture height tweaks can hold the canopy in that efficient PPFD window without overshooting.

Genetics Note (because sheโs a queen)
Super Silver Haze is old-school royaltyโher name carries cups and history. Seeing these phenos remain compact, calm, and synchronized in early flower is a treat. Itโs a reminder that legendary haze lines can deliver refined structure when the root zone, spectrum, and climate are in tune.
Thank you to Zamnesia Seeds for the representation of this classic, so far, these two are everything we hoped for.

What to Watch Next
โข Stretch trajectory: At ~120 cm now, expect the last of the vertical push to taper soon. Netting/support only if neededโright now form is clean.
โข Microclimate hygiene: Keep leaves gently moving everywhere; defol only in small passes to avoid shocking resin production later.
โข Moisture-guided irrigation: Stay with the WCS moisture trigger to prevent both saturation pockets and drought spikes as flowers thicken.
โข AC commissioning: Once installed, re-check overnight RH (often creeps up in cooler dark cycles); a slight dehumid bump at lights-off is a big win for late-flower health.
