7/24/23 - Day 42 - Ok, so where to start? I'm going to go over the last couple days of issues/troubleshooting. We had an issue with the lights not coming on for a whole day/night cycle. That was a couple of days ago, and everything seems okay since then. I had some Canoeing/tacoing on the leaves once the lights were back on. I think I had the PH too low, 5.8. In flower, I should start moving it up the scale. Once I corrected the PH to 6.2, the canoeing/tacoing in the leaves seemed to be gone/almost gone. I'm REALLY worried about the height of the plant. She is only 12 in. from the light that I cannot move. I added a second scrogg net???? I don't know if that's done a lot, but I'm going to try and stop if from growing straight up. I think the best I can do is give it a lean. So Ill call this the ScoggGL (GangstaLean). You'll see some pictures up top as I start the ScoggGL I did the first big trim and pulled a 3-gallon bucket of fan leaves out. I cut off a few side branches I didn't want the plant to waste energy on. I trimmed so many leaves off it was crazy. The smells have been awesome! You all know the smell of the fresh plant stems and leaves as you trim and rub across them. It's one of my favorite smells, which is in full effect. I noticed that I have some pistils growing. I know what that means, shes going to have some flowers here in the next week. I couldn't be more excited!!!!! The roots are just downright ruthless; they have been growing out of control. I have a great picture of them in there with no water. I should note that I did two things that might have solved the Tacoing in the leaves. It could have been one or the other, but it also could be a combo of both things. I did the trimming to get some airflow between the leaves and changed the target for my PH from 5.8 to 6.2. When moving into flowering, I should have already done that. But I did both things while the leaves were Tacoing, and now they are not. I wanted to make sure I noted that. 7/26/23 - Day 44 - Things are looking great. No more tacoing, she's growing and still drinking about 2+ gallons a day of water. I hope the vertical growth stops soon, I want to remove a ton more fan leaves, and I'm hoping that it spends more time growing around than up, I'm keeping some leaves on just to slow some vertical growth. 7/27/23 - Day 45 - She's sleeping right now, but I will chop some more fan leaves when she wakes up. She's growing too tall, and I need to find a way to stop her. I think shocking her system will help stunt her growth. How crazy is this, what a conundrum I'm in. Normally I stress out trying to find the right time to trim to avoid stunting growth. I always keep my plants busy and do one or two chops. I think they need to grow as mother nature intended. Let them grow and do one, maybe two fan leave chops. That's always been my motto and its always worked out great for me. This is now the exact opposite. Feels weird even thinking about it, doing a leave chop two weeks into flower..... ARE YOU INSANE!!!!!! Lol The 2nd chop has happened. I took a ton of fan leaves off. It's time for the plant to slow down heal and start working on the buds! Let's see how this goes over the next couple of days. I added a timelapse of me chopping her up. 7/28/23 - Day 46 - After adding more water last night, I was checking PH, and I did a quick check on the ppm from the nutes. If it went from 600ppm down to 130ppm in a couple of days. So we decided to give her another dose of nutes so she has something to eat. I'll update you after she wakes up for the day.

First day in Flower! It's been... very interesting 2 weeks.. now that I survived tha, im having some lockout due to being unable to take care of my plants for the past 5 days and someone having no idea had to do the job, I'm not afraid of showing these mistakes I'm always looking forward to the outcome so I'm still having some hopes for this og kush, not everything here went as planned and that's why I want to focus on finishing up the grow and starting new ones, better ones as soon as possible, I will definitely never grow autos again as I'm just not a fan of them having to be on 18/6 schedule and I like having co trolley over my plants as sometimes things can go wrong. Og kush had a lockout after flush it grew beautiful but still ate up some of the upper leaves. Runtz.. yeah I like him he is a beautiful little bonsai he didn't get lockout too much but also did I'm looking forward to seeting the stretch on him if it so happens. Cherry gusher, a tiny pheno I got this time I'm looking forward to growing 4 next time and hunt down a pheno. They say outdoors you have to play with God and indoor you try to play God.. we are not perfect and that's why I'm looking forward to the finish line. Will i scrog? I have the net setup but I'm not sure if I will get enough stretch. Day 3 I noticed some light white spots on bottom leaves of the plant after a flush I did recently, I diagnose this as magnese or magnesium deficiency, I'm going to up the cal mag to 8 ml and a+b to 10ml per 5 L of water along with additives extra 0.5 ml just as a touch up. Also I noticed we are at 47cm at the tallest branch after topping and lst and this thing is an absolute bush.. I could probably hide behind it if I was a kid playing hide and seek!.

🌿 Week 4 – Vegetative Stage – Super Silver Haze (Zamnesia Seeds) Grower: Dog Doctor Strain: Super Silver Haze Breeder: Zamnesia Seeds Stage: Week 4 Veg Phenotypes: SSH #1 & SSH #2 (Flower-bound) Tent: 8x8 Shared Grow Space Lighting: • Future Of Grow – Black Series 600W • ThinkGrow – Model One LED Control System: TrolMaster Hydro-X and Tent-X Watering: Hand Watering Pot Size: 11L Fabric Pots CO₂: 632 ppm Day Temp: 27°C Night Temp: 25°C Humidity: 57.4% Water Mix pH: 5.83 EC: 1.01 Water Temp: 18.5°C ⸻ 💚 Week 4 – Settling, Stretching, Syncing Four weeks in, and both SSH #1 and SSH #2 are looking incredible compact, symmetrical, and showing zero signs of stress from last week’s transplant. Honestly? We expected at least a little pushback. These are Hazes, after all. You prepare for stretch, for sass, for slow adaptation. But… not this time. They slipped into their 11L fabric pots like they were born there. They’re reaching 7th leaf nodes now, with tight internodal spacing and structure so dense you’d swear they were hybrids bred for micro-grows. And hey, we know veg structure doesn’t dictate flower outcome. These could still blow up, stretch to the sky, and become full-on jungle queens. But for now? We’re appreciating the compact calm before the flower storm. ⸻ 🌬️ The Shared Tent Ecosystem Our 8x8 tent is currently split into two zones: • Zone 1: ThinkGrow Model One LEDs, driven by TrolMaster • Zone 2: F.O.G. Black Series 600W LEDs, also under TrolMaster The environment is fully monitored, precisely tuned, and stabilized for the transitional weeks ahead. With 632 ppm CO₂, 27°C daytime temps, and stable humidity, everything is in that sweet pre-flip zone. We’re hand-watering still, listening to the soil, watching for response, and matching volume to the plant’s breath. ⸻ Feed & Medium – Stability Over Change Same soil. Same nutrient profile. Still working beautifully. No need to tweak what’s working. Feed Mix (per liter): • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml • Aptus All-In-One Liquid – 1 ml • Aptus Start Booster – 0.25 ml Roots have claimed their territory. Shoots are responding with balanced, symmetrical growth. ⸻ 🧠 Bro Talk: Expecting the Unexpected Let’s be real, when you grow Super Silver Haze, you kind of expect drama. Maybe a little leaf curl, maybe a delay in root adaptation, maybe explosive node stretch in week 2 post-transplant. But… nope. These girls are calm, confident, even a little reserved. Bro-to-bro? It’s almost suspicious. 😂 It’s a reminder that expectations don’t grow plants. Observation does. We’re staying ready for anything as flower time approaches. ⸻ ❌ What This Week Isn’t: • Not a week for heavy defoliation • Not a training week — their shape is too compact • Not a time to switch formulas — they’re loving it ⸻ ✅ What This Week Is: • A final week of vegetative calm • A snapshot of stability before the flip • A week to appreciate healthy, non-eventful, smooth development ⸻ 🌸 The Flip Is Near Next week we’ll likely flip to 13/11 — not just because they’re ready, but because space is limited. These two girls are sharing a tent with a full house of other cultivars, and it’s getting cozy. We’re preparing now: • Light timers prepped • Trellis nets on standby • TrolMaster thresholds tuned for night temp and humidity shifts They’ve had their moment of calm. Soon they’ll bloom. And that’s when the real Super Silver story begins. ⸻ 📲 Follow the Flower Journey We’ll be tracking every step, every change, every beautiful chaos as they enter the flowering phase. If you’re just joining us: • GrowDiaries: https://growdiaries.com/grower/dogdoctorofficial • Instagram: @DogDoctorOfficial • YouTube: Dog Doctor official ⸻ ⚙️ Grow Gear Snapshot • Lights: Future of Grow, ThinkGrow LEDs • Control System: TrolMaster Hydro-X and Tent-X • Nutrients: Aptus Holland • Pots & Substrate: Zamnesia Fabric Pots • Airflow: Spider Farmer & TrolMaster 6-inch Carbon Filter Fans • Storage: Grove Bags ( latter but important ) ⸻ There’s beauty in these weeks where “nothing happens.” Because in truth, everything is happening — under the soil, inside the plant, inside the plan. This is Super Silver Haze in its pre-bloom prime. Let’s flip soon and let her write the next chapter herself. 💚 Love to the growers, the dreamers, the students, and the believers.

Finally I discovered why is my critical girl and my blue cheese having such a hard time is because we have more gardening in this property tomatoes and other vegetables and my brother decided to add bat guano to all of the plants including the cannabis plant this happened a few months ago without me knowing so I continue to feed liquid nutrients without realizing they was already food in it and not any food slow-release fertilizer so after seeing my critical going south I was worried for the blue cheese cookies but they seem to be more resilient to higher doses of nutrient nevertheless I was scratching my head trying to figure out where she's getting nutrients from and boom that my brother told me by the way I add bat guano to all of the plans some months ago and I guess now is becoming available to the plans and causing all sort of problems hopefully with water only she can make it through to the end of the season but she is actually holding on pretty good still stretching and still growing .so for everybody out there please do not mix slow-release fertilizer with liquid fertilizer because you going to cause yourself so much headache and problems because there is no way to control what is in the soil. And the reason you use Liquid Fertilizer its to have complete control in their intake of nutrients and customize it to their need something my brother does not understand yet thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow.

growing rapidly, next week I plan to add fertilizers, at the current stage the plant has gone through LST and topping and pruning large fan leaves, in my opinion this stress did not affect the growth this is my first experience in the style of Maine Lining, waiting for 4 week!

01/06/24 Transferred plants to their final home. DIY Aeroponic system.PH 5.6 01/08/24 Gentle bend LST, Having both lights on caused my breaker to trip. Temp in tent dropped to 40*F for 8ish hours. 01/09/24 LST and leaf tucked each plant. 01/10/24 Found out the hard way to keep an eye on water volume. Added 2.5 gallons of water with 40ml each of Sensei Bloom A+B, 20ml Voodoo Juice, 20ml B-52. 01/11/24 Plants bounced back. No lost ladies.
