Familia, ya actualizamos otra semana más de floración. Tercera semana de floración de las Blue Spider de Zambezaseeds que sobraron de algún envío y la verdad que respondieron fenomenal después de 2 años. Tienen un buen color están creciendo bien y desarrollando las flores correctamente. Que más puedo pedir si en verdad va sobre ruedas este proyecto. Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Mars hydro: Code discount: EL420 https://www.mars-hydro.com/ Las maximas de temperatura no superan los 25 grados y las mínimas no bajan 20, así que no me puedo quejar. Los niveles de humedad también son los correctos van entre 50%/65% de humedad relativa. Por supuesto el Ph lo estamos dejando alrededor de 6. Hasta aquí es todo, buenos humos 💨💨💨.

Ladies have taken off! Finished week 2 with no issues in sight. I’ve been working my yoga poses to get under the scrog to clean and spray some essential oils for pest management. Also added some sticky traps, haven’t seen anything, not even a gnat, but can’t be too careful this time of year. I’ve been pushing her nutrients and got close to 1100 ppm, some slight burn at the tips was noticeable, but nothing else. Did some defoliation and the smells are strong! Perfect terp profile that I’m looking for, Gas, funk and skunk 🇨🇦❤️🌱😎💨 Happy Growing!

March 17 - 24 Growth is still going very well with lots of LST and defoliation. Business as usual with nutrients and the Blumat system seems dialed in a I prepare to leave them unattended for 5 days in April. Near the end of the week I installed a second net.

Nothing special this week. I've defoliated the plants this week even though I've planned to to that next week, but it was just getting too messy. I'll need to defoliate even more later this week so that I can switch them to a 12H cycle on the 7th week, and not cause too much stress doing both things at once. Happy growing 🌿

Buenas noticias para esta semana. 1. La semana pasada comenté que tenía una planta desordenada, pues no me había percatado que la karpa tenía un orificio abierto en el techo y estaba entrando contaminación lumínica cuando dormía y por eso estaba débil. 2. Un loco que sabe más que yo, me dijo que las puntas amarillas es algo bueno en mis plantas y no algo malo, por lo que están saludables. 3. Las flores tuvieron un gran avance y ya se notan de mejor tamaño y un excelente aroma. 4. El calor y la humedad hacen que cada planta consuma 2 lts de líquido al día. 5. Voy a iniciar Pk1314 esta semana que sigue. Malas noticias 1. Ya no tengo mota seca jajaj Buenos humos

So far I’ve had a strain of diesel & candy kush sprout & the ww was not successful in the coco coir as it’s been quite dry & overcast outdoors lately so I decided to take an indoor approach which has been more successful & pest free. I put another candy kush & turbo diesel seed in a glass of water & already got the seed of candy k to split open so I’ve moved it into to a moist paper towel in a zip bag &’ll plant it in coco coir once the root is nice n long enough to transfer into a pot. Also I’m smh 🤦‍♂️🏽 because I’ve had more success with a $24 grow light bulb from homedepot but none whatsoever with my $160 viper spectra 1500 grow light for the vegetative cycle🤷‍♂️🏾. Can someone tell me what’s the best brightness range & distance from 5%-100% when using the viper spectra 1500 for all stages? Because I’m ready to resell it on Amazon at this point.

I’ve been dealing with fungus gnats. Sounds like a common problem I layer the ground with perlite and heavily put diatomaceous on top let it sit for two days vacuum the top layer off and repeat. Twice got all of them I can see and back to a regular feeding schedule daily. I have yellow fly traps I’m gonna put on the soil to help keep them down. I’m going to get a drip system. So there isn’t much saturated soil on the top for them to breed . To prevent this next grow

Well she looks like she's finally done stretching she's starting to crown and I can't wait to see what she turns into.. I hope this is going to be a tasty one.. I will say for a half gallon of dirt this is turning into a pretty big plant.. initially I was hoping for an ounce or two just to try it but now I wouldn't be surprised if I end up with three or more... When you use maxi Bloom with Cal mag and silica you don't need a 5 gallon pot or 7 gallon pot to grow a big plant you just need to be able to feed it every day because the pot dries out quick.. that combination of nutrients is literally like steroids for your plants.. as long as you know how to flush properly this is definitely the way to go and it's also 100% the cheapest.. a 3 lb bag of Maxi Bloom is less than 20 bucks and you could do a whole run from beginning to end with just that bag alone.. you can actually do multiple runs with just that bag.. hope all is well Happy growing everyone ✌️

Week 16 – Close to the Finish Line 🏁🌾 Week 16 and we’re clearly heading into the finale. Harvest is very close now. The smell is absolutely insane — lemon, sweet candy, bonbon vibes, bright and loud. The buds are looking fat, heavy, and fully developed. One thing still bugs me a bit: the front right plant in the 15L pot. That one turned out absolutely amazing — a really special pheno. Strong structure, beautiful buds, insane aroma. It honestly hurts that I didn’t take a backup or a cut from her. Lesson learned the hard way. Still, I’m very happy overall. This run delivered big time, and the flowers look mature, sticky, and ready for the final step. 👉 Next update will be the Harvest Update. Until then, Muchachos😎 OnlyBuds 🌱✨

Growing along quite well. Next year, bigger bags and better soil mix. Also, a little longer veg inside wouldn't hurt. Got buds starting on the three ATF's, Chemdog, Night Nurse, and one Viper Cookies. Still no signs on the big mother Lamb's Bread, which makes me wonder how big she's gonna get. Finally stopped being lazy and set up some support for them, since my training left them a little wild. Hit them again last night with neem as the little pests are back and munching away. Supposed to stay relatively dry this week, hoping the single application will last for a while. Continuing with TIger Bloom every other feeding, alternating with straight water ph around 6.

Day 29: Low VPD due to shitty weather....... about 0.8 kPa at 23C. Girls happy - nothin' to bend or weave today. Still dark green - no signs of overfeeding in new foliage. Drain (average): pH 5.9; EC 2.7 Roots keep pentrating the pots. 👍 Day 30: Girls happy - nothin' to bend or weave today. Still dark green - no signs of overfeeding in new foliage. Drain (average): pH 5.8; EC 2.7 Roots keep pentrating the pots. 👍 Day 31: Girls happy - nothin' to bend or weave today. Still dark green - no signs of overfeeding in new foliage. Drain (average): pH 5.9; EC 2.7 Roots keep pentrating the pots. 👍 Day 32: Did a little defoliation - just cut a few odd lookin' fanleafs and some smaller foliage at the bottom of the stem. 65g total. Further i keep opening the canopy by moving some shoots to the next square of the net Still watering daily. Plant 3 is way thirstier and bigger than the others. Plant 2 spills out the largest amounts of drain...... but she's not far behind them other girls. Had to crank up the vent to get humidity out..... i'll keep defoliating carefully - that'll help it ;-)

🌿 Week 2 Flower – Super Silver Haze Queens by Zamnesia Two weeks into flower, and the Super Silver Haze girls are showing us why they carry the weight of legend. Despite a week where photos were few, the video walkthrough tells the story: the tent is alive, the room is humming, and the girls are thriving. Their transition into bloom is unmistakable, pistils, morphology shifts, and that unmistakable “flowering energy” filling the air. ✨ Recap of the Journey So Far From the start, these seeds germinated strong, three for three. Early veg was compact and stable, surprisingly stress-free for haze genetics. Transplanting into 11L Zamnesia fabric pots with a tailored Aptus soil mix gave roots the space and nutrients to explode. Week after week, they’ve grown strong under a spectrum of full power LEDs, with an environment tuned by hand and tech alike. Now in flower, they carry the old-school spirit of Super Silver Haze, a strain with cups, history, and heavy nostalgia, now represented by Zamnesia, but forever rooted in the haze heritage. This isn’t just another grow. It’s a living tribute. 🌱 Feeding Recipe This Week The girls are feeling the switch from Start Booster to Top Booster (0.25 ml/L), and the difference shows. Morphology is shifting beautifully. On top of that, we’re layering in some Plagron support — a little experiment to push the expression further: • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml/L • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml/L • Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml/L • Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml/L • Aptus Top Booster – 0.25 ml/L The Aptus All-In-One Liquid is staying aside for now, since the pellets in the soil are still doing their job beautifully. EC in the soil is ~2.0, with incoming solution at ~0.6. pH around 6.1. Watering is based on substrate moisture, waiting until ~19–20% dryness before irrigation. Average uptake: 1.5–2L per day. 🌡️ Environmental Conditions • Room Temp: Peaks up to 34°C (a bit higher than ideal, AC unit arriving soon!) • Humidity: 50–70% depending on the day • VPD: ~1.8–1.9 (not perfect, but plants are handling it well) • CO₂: ~700 ppm • Soil Temp: 25°C • PPFD: 760–780 μmol/m²/s across canopy zones ⚙️ Gear & Ecosystem The grow room is evolving into a proper ecosystem: • Lights: • ThinkGrow Model on and ICL-300 LEDs • Future of Grow Black Series 600W • Lumatek Zeus Compact Pro 465W Together delivering a full, balanced spectrum across the 8x8 tent. • Airflow & Extraction: • 2 × 6-inch extractors (Trolmaster Aerofan + Spider Farmer) with carbon filters. • Trolmaster unit fully integrated, Spider Farmer on its GGS controller. • Automation: • The Trolmaster WCS substrate sensor is a game-changer — giving live readings of soil EC, pH, and moisture. • Tent-X brain keeps everything connected, making hand-watering smarter and data-driven. 🌼 The Girls This Week Compact, stable, symmetrical, both phenos are tracking almost identically. Pistils are pushing fast, leaves are deep green, internodes are filling with energy. It feels like they’re already a week ahead, and yet, they’re right on schedule. 🐝 A Moment for the Bees This week, alongside the plants, we pause to thank the bees. A photo of one busy bee pollinating a flower reminds us: without these tiny workers, there would be no flowers, no fruits, no life as we know it. In the fairytale of the growroom, the lights are the sun, the soil is the earth, and the bees are the quiet guardians of the cycle. May we never forget how important they are. 🙏 Closing Thoughts Week 2 flower, and already the tent is bursting with energy. Genetics this stable, this historic, deserve respect. The environment isn’t perfect, temps and humidity will improve once the AC kicks in, but the girls don’t seem to mind. They’re thriving, and the journey is only just beginning. To the growers, the sponsors, the community, the lovers and the haters alike — thank you. You make the journey worth sharing. This is more than just a grow: it’s a story, a legacy, and a chance to honor the Queen that is Super Silver Haze. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 P.S.- Why These Plagron Additives? – A Deep Dive I’ve decided to complement the Aptus base with three Plagron boosters. Each one has its own role in the flowering process, and together they form a very balanced support system for the Mango Kush ladies. 🌸 Power Buds (1 ml/L) • Purpose: Early flowering stimulator • What it does: Power Buds encourages the plant to initiate bud development faster. It shortens the “transition phase” from veg into bloom, helping flowers form sooner and more consistently across the canopy. • Why now: We’re in Week 2 Flower, the exact point where we want to signal the plants: “It’s time to build flowers.” Power Buds sends that hormonal nudge. ⸻ 🍯 Sugar Royal (1 ml/L) • Purpose: Enhances resin, aroma, and stress resistance • What it does: Sugar Royal contains amino acids that stimulate the plant to produce more chlorophyll and secondary metabolites. In plain terms: richer terpene profile, stickier resin, stronger smell, deeper taste. • Extra benefit: It also reduces stress from heat or drought, very useful right now since our temps have been spiking up to 34°C. • Why now: As stretch continues, plants need to stay strong and not waste energy on stress. Sugar Royal helps them thrive despite less-than-ideal VPD. ⸻ 💎 Green Sensation (1 ml/L) • Purpose: All-in-one bloom enhancer for the second half of flower • What it does: Green Sensation is a powerful 4-in-1 booster that improves: • Flowering: denser, heavier buds • Resin production: frostier flowers • Nutrient uptake: more efficient feeding • Soil health: stimulates beneficial microbial activity • Why now: Even though it shines brightest in late flower, starting early allows the soil ecosystem and plant metabolism to adapt gradually. By the time we hit peak bloom, the system is fully primed. ⸻ 🌱 How They Work Together • Power Buds → Kickstarts flower sites • Sugar Royal → Enhances resilience + resin quality • Green Sensation → Boosts density and overall flower performance The trio works like a team of specialists: one accelerates the start, one polishes the quality, and one pushes yield potential. Combined with the Aptus base (Regulator for strength, CalMag Boost for structure, Top Booster for bloom push), it’s a balanced, experimental, but very promising recipe. 💚 Growers love to all 💚

==== UPDATE 31-10-18 ==== Weight after 4 weeks: 137 grams from one plant! I am so happy :). 123 grams of grade A bud, 14 grams of great quality larf. My last grow had about 130 grams from 4 plants. Only two thirds of it was good bud. Autoflowers, never again! This plant never got bigger than the 70*70 tent it grew up in, so I used 0.5m² . 315w CMH started during week 3 of flower. Thanks again to Zambeza for a monster yielding plant. ======================== It's been quite a ride. The plant was harvested at the end of week 11. This plant survived spider mites, maybe thanks to the predatory mites, and environment actions. A slow start in the first few weeks but it turned out quite beautiful. I will update with weights later... if you are interested, leave a comment and I will notify Thank you very much for following my diary, and for all the kind support and advice. The "flavor report" is based off some trim hash, which was truly an A smoke. I can't recommend Critical XXL enough! Thanks to Zambeza for this great experience. I will probably never grow autoflowers again. My next diary, flowering 100% under CMH, will start soon! 00
