Flowering

Day 36 Cloudy with periods of rain. Day 37 Cloudy Day 38 Sunny Day 39 Cloudy Day 40 Sunny Day 41 Sunny Day 42 Sunny Week review: Plant is looking healthy with no issues. On day 38 she started to show white pistols. Day 41 I added two bud clips on the top two branches to spread them out some. 😍

day 26 of flower, gorgeous plant very unique leaf structure, and tall as hell, the experiment of topping on say 4 of flower seems to be paying off, i’m very happy with it at this height. looks like the beginning of anthocyanin breakdown are occuring in the fan leaves

Gracias al equipo de Sweet Seeds, Marshydro, XpertNutrients y Trolmaster, sin ellos esto no sería posible. 💐🍁: Big Devil Fast Version: Atendiendo a las peticiones de nuestros amigos y clientes, presentamos la versión feminizada y fotodependiente de nuestra apreciada variedad Big Devil Auto (SWS15).

This grow took me around 12 weeks to complete. I harvested at about 80 days and got some beautiful dense nugs. I have found growing autos in DWC allows to get amazing results. During this grow I started feeding bloom nutrients at a much earlier stage to try and make them available as soon as the plant can use them. I also found this didn’t effect my stretch much and allowed for a whole lot of bud sites. Take note that most micro nutrient lines contain a lot of nitrogen and when the autos start making bud sites you can cut the grow nutrients much earlier. I had pretty good results with micro and bloom during the early flower stage. I also found that by gradually removing certain growth and not adding too much stress, the strain reacts pretty well. If you do decide to do a heavier defoliation, rather do it after the plant has completed its stretch. This will help not shock and stunt growth during vegetative stage. I would personally recommend to try and scrog this strain of grown in dwc for even larger yields as I removed quite a lor of growth during my grow. I will definitely make use of this for my next grow. At the middle of the flowering stage I installed a dehumidifier and tried to keep it between 45-55% RH. My temperatures were consistently between 20-27 degrees as I ran a 24h light cycle. I also made use of a mycelium bag for some added Co2 which I found worked well. I am overly satisfied with the yield and density of these flower and would recommend Fastbuds genetics to anyone looking to grow their own. High quality and very high yielding plant.

Really nice plant to grow the high is nice and mellow, if I was to do this strainbagain I'd try go for the photoperiod to give her more potential but over all great grow and fantastic jar appeal.

what a monster she grew ◇

Week 3 Flower – Super Silver Haze (Zamnesia Seeds) Grower: Dog Doctor Strain: Super Silver Haze Breeder: Zamnesia Seeds Phenotypes: SSH #1 & SSH #2 Stage: Flower – Week 3 Pots/Medium: 11L fabric pots, custom super soil (Aptus amendments) Watering: Hand watering, irrigation by substrate moisture Tent: 8×8 shared room Control: TrolMaster Hydro-X + Tent-X, WCS substrate sensor Lighting (room): F.O.G. Black Series 600W + ThinkGrow ICL-300 (x2) + Lumatek Zeus Compact Pro 465W Climate this week: ~29.6 °C, 67% RH (VPD ≈ 1.37 kPa), CO₂ ~700 ppm ⸻ This Week at a Glance • Structure: Both phenos are thriving and still tracking like twins—compact plants with clean symmetry now at ~120 cm. Bud sites are stacking; white pistils are abundant. • Leaf morphology: Classic hybrid look—rounded blades, neither narrow “pure sativa” nor broad “pure indica.” • Roots: Pots are clearly “alive”—great colonization and visible vigor through the fabric. • Defoliation: Performed a light defol only to open the canopy and improve airflow/light to interior sites. No heavy stripping. • Media & feed: Continuing the same program as last week (Aptus + Plagron). No All-In-One Liquid for now—the super-soil and pellets are carrying base NPK exactly as intended. Fewer photos this week (busy!), but there’s a room video and a couple of room shots showing the general happiness of the canopy. ⸻ Feeding Program (unchanged from Week 2) • Aptus: Regulator, CalMag Boost, Top Booster • Plagron: Power Buds, Sugar Royal, Green Sensation • Why this mix now: We’ve 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 ~1.5–2.0 L per plant, irrigating around 19–20% substrate dryness, kept as operational context.) ⸻ Environment, Monitoring & Why It Matters • Temperature & RH: ~29.6 °C and 67% RH. That calculates to VPD ≈ 1.37 kPa (not “137”—decimal matters). • What this does: • VPD in the 1.2–1.5 kPa range drives active transpiration and nutrient flow—good for biomass and stacking. • With higher temps, plants demand steady water availability and reliable Ca/Mg delivery to avoid tip-burn or micro-deficiencies. • Risks if this persists: • In late flower, warm & humid microclimates can increase powdery mildew/Botrytis pressure inside dense colas. • Heat can push foxtailing, reduce volatile terpene retention, and increase overall plant stress. • Mitigations already in play: • Light defol to open the canopy (great call). • Strong, clean airflow in the 8×8 (dual 6″ exhausts with carbon filters + filtered intake). • TrolMaster WCS sensor guiding irrigation by moisture and watching substrate EC—keeps the rhizosphere stable. • AC unit arriving—expect a meaningful drop in day temps; aim to settle around mid-20s °C with RH mid-50s as flowers pack on. • 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 fine—site-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 she’s a queen) Super Silver Haze is old-school royalty—her name carries cups and history. Seeing these phenos remain compact, calm, and synchronized in early flower is a treat. It’s 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 • Stretch trajectory: At ~120 cm now, expect the last of the vertical push to taper soon. Netting/support only if needed—right now form is clean. • Microclimate hygiene: Keep leaves gently moving everywhere; defol only in small passes to avoid shocking resin production later. • Moisture-guided irrigation: Stay with the WCS moisture trigger to prevent both saturation pockets and drought spikes as flowers thicken. • 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. ⸻ Gratitude & Credits • Genetics: Zamnesia Seeds • Control & sensing: TrolMaster Hydro-X + Tent-X, WCS substrate sensor and more • Lighting: Future Of Grow Black Series 600W, ThinkGrow ICL-300 (x2), Lumatek Zeus Compact Pro 465W • Nutrition: Aptus Holland + Plagron • Room design: 8×8 with dual 6″ carbon-filtered exhausts and filtered intake From seed to now: steady hands, living soil, measured light, and a room that keeps getting smarter.

Pheno #1 is getting fatter and fatter by the day although she is starting to fade out a bit. It’s a shame I had to tie her down because I swear her main cola would have been a foot long 😂She is also sensitive to light and has received slight amounts of burn and bleaching. She is the largest of the three but she has the least amount of resin and terpenes which is a bit unfortunate... She smells earthy, no banana scent or fruit terps like pheno #2. I still have about another 4+ weeks to go so that could easily change but we will see. I will try to be optimistic! Pheno #2 is a frost monster. She is completely covered in resin and trichromes. Her smell is out of this world, definitely has that banana fruity type smell. I don’t think I have smelt another strain quite like this so I’m very excited to see how she continues develop. Pheno #3 is a bit funky. She is stretching and getting bushier but she is extremely slow to flower. She has tons of shoots and bud sites. Almost every popcorn type branch at the very bottom raced to the top of the canopy. I feel like she hasn’t changed in the past couple weeks but maybe that’s just me being impatient. She is developing some interesting deficiencies but only on a couple leaves here and there. She is also somewhat lackluster compared to the other two. In my opinion she is a little dull looking... It’s odd to see how all three pheno’s are expressing different traits regardless of being grown in identical substrates with identical feeding schedules. It’s hard to say if it’s the genetics, substrate or the nutrients but I have a strong feeling it has more to do with the medium not being properly balanced. I normally would never grow with such a light substrate but DP grew theirs in a similar medium so I thought for the first time around I’d try to grow similar to their style. Next round I’m definitely going to switch it up and use the NFG or a custom soil blend I’ve been developing for auto flowers. It should be nice to see how a commercial soil compares to a homemade organic soil tailored for auto flowers. I’ll most likely run that experiment within a month or so once I get my new grow space setup. This week I’m going to lay off the nutrients and feed with some compost teas and microbes instead. In the video you can see my smaller brewing bucket. This is a mini-Microbulator along with an air stone. This allows for maximum dissolved oxygen saturation and also helps with preventing anaerobic spots in the brew. Set up a new space for future grows. Will top out the max I can grow in MI at 12 plants within the next couple months! Thanks to @MarsHydroLED • 2 X MARS TS1000 LED • 2x4 MARS HYDRO TENT

Noticed nitrogen deficiency last week with yellowing veins and some fading of new growth below. Flushed and checked pH before adding a heavy feeding of Grow Big. After a few days some color returned and she has livened back up.

Day 39 she’s huge very very happy with the way she is turning out. She’s exploded and very large and in charge. I’m stoked on her.

Week 1 Veg - 10/01* Currently CHERRY COLA is coming alone accordingly, first set of leaves have already sprouted and will be giving her small amounts of Nitrogen in about a week.

She still fattening up, looking good.
