Super Silver Haze (Zamnesia Seeds) â Flower Week 5
⸝
đż Quick Recap â From Seed to Week 5 Flower
⢠Week 1 Flower: Fast transitionâpistils everywhere, healthy roots, compact growth.
⢠Week 2 Flower: Morphology shift in full swing; feeding adjusted with Top Booster and Plagron trio (Power Buds, Sugar Royal, Green Sensation).
⢠Week 3 Flower: Light defoliation to open structure. Plants ~120 cm, hybrid leaf traits, strong root activity.
⢠Week 4 Flower: Bud stacking accelerated, pistils thickening, recipe simplified (soil NPK carrying, boosters fine-tuning).
⢠Week 5 Flower (current): Buds swelling, pistils everywhere, resin heads sparkling. Slight leaf spotting observedâlikely Ca/Mg imbalance. Adjusted by reintroducing Aptus All-In-One Liquid for a nutrient push and better balance.

đą Plant Development
Both phenos continue to mirror each other, tight internodes, balanced structure, and lush hybrid leaves. The buds are swelling rapidly, calyxes stacking beautifully, and pistils are thick and lively. The resin layer is already visible, giving a frosty shimmer that promises density and potency in the weeks ahead.
A few spots appeared on lower and mid leavesâmost likely a calcium/magnesium issue. To counter, we increased nutritional support by bringing Aptus All-In-One Liquid back into the mix, ensuring a complete and balanced NPK profile while keeping boosters steady.
⸝
đ§ Feeding & Nutrition (Week 5)
⢠Aptus Regulator â micronutrient transport, cell wall integrity
⢠Aptus CalMag Boost â raising Ca/Mg levels to address leaf spotting
⢠Aptus All-In-One Liquid â full-spectrum NPK support reintroduced this week
⢠Plagron Power Buds, Sugar Royal, Green Sensation â continuing to enhance flower development, aroma, and resin formation
Soil still provides a strong nutritional backbone, but this weekâs adjustments help stabilize the balance and support heavy bud development.
⸝
đĄď¸ Environmental Conditions
⢠Day Temp: ~29â30°C
⢠Night Temp: ~25°C
⢠Humidity: ~65%
⢠VPD: ~1.3â1.4 kPa
⢠COâ: ~700 ppm
⢠Watering: ~1.5â2L per plant/day, at ~20% soil dryness
⢠Soil EC: ~2.0
⢠Light Intensity: 760â780 PPFD across canopy
AC installation is still pending, so temps are slightly higher than ideal, but plants remain vigorous and unstressed.

⨠Special Focus: Trichomes â Natureâs Treasure Houses
At Week 5, trichomes are beginning to form in visible density, and this is a great moment to explore what they are and why they matter.
đŹ What Are Trichomes?
Trichomes are microscopic, glandular outgrowths on cannabis flowers and leaves. They are resin factoriesâproducing cannabinoids (THC, CBD, CBG, etc.), terpenes (aromatic oils), and flavonoids (pigments and antioxidants).
đ¸ Cannabinoids
⢠THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol): Primary psychoactive compound; euphoric, creative, uplifting.
⢠CBD (Cannabidiol): Non-psychoactive, soothing, anti-inflammatory, balancing.
⢠Others: CBG, CBC, THCVâeach contributing unique effects and therapeutic potential.
đş Terpenes
Aromatic molecules giving cannabis its smell and flavor profile. Examples:
⢠Myrcene: Earthy, musky, sedative qualities
⢠Limonene: Citrus, uplifting, mood-enhancing
⢠Pinene: Piney, sharp, potentially focus-enhancing
These terpenes modulate the effects of cannabinoids in the entourage effect.
đ¨ Flavonoids
Less talked about, but flavonoids contribute to color, taste, and antioxidant activity. They can influence the final bouquet and even the therapeutic properties of the plant.
đ Why They Matter Now
At Week 5, trichomes are initiating en masse, but they are still clear and immature. As the weeks progress, theyâll cloud, then amber, signaling ripeness. Monitoring trichomes with a loupe is the most reliable way to judge harvest time, not just pistils.

đď¸ Gear & Setup
⢠Lighting: Future of Grow Black Series 600W, ThinkGrow ICL-300 LEDs, and Lumatek Zeus Compact Pro 465Wâall synced under TrolMaster for environmental control.
⢠Airflow: Dual 6â extraction with carbon filters (TrolMaster Aerofan + Spider Farmer), controlled separately for redundancy.
⢠Monitoring: TrolMaster Tent-X + WCS substrate sensorâtracking EC, moisture, and real-time root zone conditions.

đż Outlook
The girls are in their prime flowering momentum. With nutrients adjusted and trichomes stacking, the coming weeks should bring bulk, aroma, and resin explosion. This is where the legendary Super Silver Haze genetics (Skunk x Northern Lights x Haze) begin to show their pedigreeâold-school power, modern stability.
Massive thanks to Zamnesia for carrying this legendary strain forward. And thanks to the community, growers, learners, lovers, and even the skeptics, for sharing the journey.
