Plant is progressing well. Gave it a second topping this week and transplanted it into a five gallon pot. Added clips to the bottom branches and did some defoliation on these branches.

Not quite ready. I will give her another week.

This week as went well, plants are starting to bulk up and get comfortable in their new pots. Next week or the week after next might be the time to transplant them into their forever home pots, then flip to flower after 3 weeks of them growing into their new space. They have been getting a bit to much N with the Gaia Green 4-4-4 mix, I keep forgetting how much it gives them and that I need to mix it with the power bloom 2-8-4 in 25-30/75-70 or 50/50 ratios. I have extra Gaia Green Soluble seaweed extract to make up the missing K in the ratio mixes. Still mixing the PH a bit lower at 6.0 with the citric and malic acid tests, plants are going well with them, tested a bit of runoff with the one smaller plant and was getting aorund 7.5, EC still sky high so wont need to feed for a while now but they are not burning and that's a good thing. they seem to be tolerating the Potassium Silicate as well, I don't like how much it alters the PH but till I get in some ground wollastonite. Sames extras as any other week with the addition of some magnesium, rest as follows, yucca extract, silicon, potassium seaweed extract, microbes, fulvic acid, Clones are doing ok, when I took the photo of them this week they looked good and then 10 min outside of their humidity dome they looked like shit and all withered. Some of them are showing signs of putting on roots with little white specs on the stalk coming through. Will have to place them in some potting medium soon and see if they take off. And if they do I will have some to give away to whoever wants them in my friend group. I also have that one smaller plant that was delayed by a week or so thats also extra. Got to find a loving home for it, my other grow buddies don't have anything started ATM and don't want to start till later in the year. :( Pepper update! some of the peppers are living the high DLI of the lights and some of them are not... the purple jigsaw ones seems to be getting a bit burnt under the lighting. They all will be taken out soon enough. I should look at transplanting them into other pots soon and they likely root bound. Can set up something in my room with an old SF1000 I got or the Sunblaster 18" 6500k lights that I used to grow with. When I touch the leaves of the goronong and them smell my finger they have a lot of hot pepper aroma coming off of them. I think these peppers are going to be quite spicy when they are all done. The Fatalii peppers are the same and I know they are spicy AF but their smell is a bit more bright and less earthy as the goronong still pungent all over. The Fatalii are also a bit smaller, could be the older seed just is not as vibrant as new seed. Should be fine once they are outside always a good producer for me. Going to make infused salt with them and give that out as gifts to my friends. Big shoutout to Medic Grow for sponsoring the lighting in my tent, They have provided me with 2x Mini Sun 2's in the 240w configuration, They use the v1 growing spectrum that is a all purpose seed to harvest spectrum so their is no hassle of switching it mid grow.

weeks 7 and I had to put a Scrogg net in. the weight of the buds is pulling down the plant Yō Yos so I went with a net, looks like they are responding to the feeding. just water today and maybe tomorrow they're thirsty

Hi zusammen, Habe die Woche mal eine große Entlaubungsaktion (hoffentlich die letzte) gestartet. Die Pflanzen sehen soweit gesund aus, #2 hängt allerdings von der Höhe etwas hinterher… seis drum - es haben sich sehr viele Blütenstände entwickelt und bin insgesamt mit der Anzahl schon sehr zufrieden, das Zelt lässt sich gut füllen. Hab j4f ein paar Stecklinge geschnitten von jeder Pflanze - weiß noch nicht, was ich genau damit mache, Aber dachte zum wegwerfen sind sie zu schade :) Da #1 im Gegensatz zu den anderen höher gewachsen ist, hielt ich einen scrog für eine gute Idee. Wünsche euch noch eine schöne Woche und grüße Wulle

This week was terrible for her just as she was ripening the humidity increased…prompting an early harvest.

So I’ve only just realised how little these girls have been fed, I’ve just done a 10% run off and they had a low EC of 0.8 so I’ve just given them a high feed, hopefully I should see some difference in the plants over the next few days. I did this simply because they haven’t put on any weight and I’ve done my dates and they’re all @8 weeks and 4 days and they look more like 5 weeks to me, I’ve been over cautious of over feeding that I actually underfed. My bad lesson learned

Day 14 Veg: A great start to the week once they settled into their new pots. hopefully i havent stunted their progress. The mutant Banana Mash is now trying to normalise a little more with new growth. Still fairly twisted but on the mend. The other 3 are more typical of new plants with their growth . I have topped one and fimmed another with one being left natural at this point. They are on their 5th node mainly ( except mutant!) and I am hoping to open their frames right up to get light to all new growth equally. I don't think they will grow too tall by design and I don't want to limit their growth in any way so i will gently manage them as they grow. The Purple Monkey are doing brilliantly so far with plenty of vigorous growth among them. I am holding the 5th nodes down on two of them and have fimmed one. These are in bigger 60L pots so should use the space to its best I think. I also have 2 plants that came from the recent harvest. One of the ladies must have had a pollen sack hid away that managed to seed a few of the exotic girls amd visited some possible viable hybrids. 2 of these are now in the grow alongside. I will be watching them like a hawk and any sign of a testicle will result in a slaughtering of the LGBGTQ sympathiser instantly . lol We do male or female only unlike the human race !!. heehee ( bit of a political hot potato!). I gave them an actual megacrop feed today to boost the available elements for the speedy growth coming. The L.o.s is still active and providing enough nutrition but I am trying to avoid the drop once the stretch period gets busy and saps the available food from it. This seems to have been happening most crops since beginning using it to avoid the leaves losing their solent green colour too fast like starvation can cause. I also added a touch of calmag to counter the L.e.d leeching that often occurs in flowering. So there we have it Growmies. A good week with the beginning of l.s.t and some promising growth. Another issue that I have managed to resolve is the R.h. We are getting warm dry air now so the room is getting silly hot and very dry at around 40% . This is great for the flowering times but has been an issue for veg in the past. not wanting to invest in a humidifier that is costly and expensive to run , I had resulted to using towels in buckets to attempt to raise it this does work in a totally sealed tent , in my leaky d.i.y "tailored " one , this has been hard to maintain. The solution came in the form of a vicks vaporiser that I bought from fleabay. It works perfectly to bring up the rh to around 70% on its lowest setting. The tank is enough to hold a days supply of water and shuts off with the lights. simple but effective fix to a common problem we face indoors. Be safe and well. Until next time. G7 Summit will be interesting in the uk!!

31/aug Week 4 of flowering is done. She stoped growing and now focus is on bud growth and density. I defloatied her to allow light to come in hand also took off the lower tiny flowers. Food is normal minus 2l of water since I've seen minor burns on some leafs.

week 10

So this grow came to a finshed but I had a. Few issues that’s held me up from finishing up the diary, but in due time I will reupload it all in order soon. But over all I will also update with a final weigh in of each strain produced so stay tuned 🤙🏻🔥

Super Silver Haze (Zamnesia Seeds) – Flower Week 4 📖 Quick Recap – From Seed to Week 4 Flower • Week 1 Flower: Transition was smooth—plants showed pistils almost immediately, adapting well to the flip. Stable structure, great color, and strong roots already visible. • Week 2 Flower: Morphology shifted fast—nodes stacking, pistils multiplying. Feeding recipe adjusted: removed Start Booster, added Top Booster (0.25 ml/L), plus Plagron Power Buds, Sugar Royal, and Green Sensation. Plants handled higher temps like champions. • Week 3 Flower: Light defoliation done to open airflow and light penetration. Both phenos look like twins, compact, about 120 cm tall, hybrid-style leaves, strong root systems, and steady bud formation. VPD slightly high (~1.37 kPa), but plants remained stress-free. • Week 4 Flower (current): Buds are swelling, pistils thick and beautiful, leaves lush and symmetrical. Feeding recipe simplified—no All-In-One Liquid or Top Booster. Soil provides NPK; boosters fine-tune flower development, aroma, and resin potential. Week 4 Flower – Super Silver Haze (Zamnesia Seeds) Grower: Dog Doctor Strain: Super Silver Haze Breeder: Zamnesia Seeds Phenotypes: SSH #1 & SSH #2 Stage: Flower – Week 4 Pots/Medium: 11L fabric pots, custom super soil with Aptus amendments Watering: Hand watering (guided by substrate moisture) Tent: 8×8 shared environment Control: TrolMaster Hydro-X + Tent-X, WCS substrate sensors Lighting: Future Of Grow Black Series 600W + ThinkGrow ICL-300 (x2) + Lumatek Zeus Compact Pro 465W Climate this week: ~29–30 °C, RH 60–65%, VPD ~1.3–1.4 kPa, CO₂ ~700 ppm ⸻ Snapshot of the Week Week 4 marks the true turning point in flower. Both SSH girls are thriving, healthy, vigorous, and balanced like twins. Their bud sites are swelling, white pistils are thick and abundant, and the morphology shows textbook hybrid traits: broad yet elegant leaves, dense node spacing, and compact stacking. What’s especially impressive: • Consistency: Both phenos remain very similar in form and pace. • Bud set: Flowers are already defined and filling out evenly across the canopy. • Health: Zero stress from previous light defol, strong root expansion, and steady nutrient uptake. ⸻ Feeding Strategy – Why We Adjusted This week we removed Aptus All-In-One Liquid and Aptus Top Booster. Here’s why: • The super soil recipe prepared earlier already contains a strong base of NPK from pellets and amendments. At this stage, overfeeding could disrupt balance or push excess salts. • Instead, we’re focusing on boosters and stimulants to enhance flower initiation, resin metabolism, and plant resilience. Current Mix (per liter): • Aptus Regulator (0.15 ml) → Improves nutrient uptake, strengthens tissue, boosts stress tolerance. • Aptus CalMag Boost (0.25 ml) → Keeps structural integrity high under intense light and CO₂ conditions. • Plagron Power Buds (1 ml) → Stimulates rapid floral development and tighter bud formation. • Plagron Sugar Royal (1 ml) → Biostimulant that enhances secondary metabolism, terpenes, and resin potential. • Plagron Green Sensation (1 ml) → Complete flowering stimulator, focusing on density, aroma, and taste. Why this recipe works now: The soil provides the “meal,” while the boosters are the “spices.” We’re enhancing flavor, weight, and resilience without overwhelming the root zone. ⸻ Environmental Dynamics • Temperature: Still on the warm side (~29–30 °C), but stable. The incoming AC will soon help bring conditions closer to optimal. • Humidity: RH floats around 60–65%. At this flower stage, still acceptable, but we’re monitoring carefully to avoid mold risks as flowers thicken. • VPD: ~1.3–1.4 kPa. This is within a healthy mid-flower range—enough transpiration to drive nutrient uptake without locking stomata. • CO₂: ~700 ppm. Boosting photosynthesis and energy flow under high-intensity LEDs. Why this matters now: Flowering metabolism is extremely demanding—sugars, nutrients, and water must all move efficiently. Stable VPD, good airflow, and consistent irrigation ensure every part of the canopy stays productive. ⸻ Gear Check – Shoutouts • Lighting: The F.O.G. Black Series 600W, ThinkGrow ICL-300s, and Lumatek Zeus Compact Pro 465W are delivering a rich, full-spectrum spread with great canopy penetration. This balanced array ensures bud development isn’t just on top colas but throughout the plant. • Control & Monitoring: The TrolMaster Hydro-X + Tent-X system, coupled with WCS substrate sensors, allows precise irrigation based on actual root-zone moisture, EC, and temperature. This data-driven approach prevents over- or under-watering, keeps the medium stable, and maximizes nutrient efficiency. • Airflow & Filtration: Dual 6” extractors with carbon filters maintain fresh air exchange while neutralizing odors. Clean air is not just about smell control—it’s about disease prevention and consistent CO₂ delivery. ⸻ Education Corner – What Week 4 Flower Means At this stage, the plant is fully committed to flowering. • What to expect now: • Steady bud swelling, with white pistils covering all main sites. • A slight increase in daily water consumption. • Noticeable aroma starting to form—terpenes are building. • What NOT to expect yet: • No heavy trichome coverage—resin glands usually start to pop in weeks 5–6. • No “final bulk”—density and mass pack on in late flower (weeks 6–8+). ⸻ Looking Ahead to Week 5 • Bud Bulk: Expect pistils to continue exploding as flowers begin their first swelling cycle. • Trichomes: Resin production will soon kick in, expect frost to start appearing. • Environment: With AC in place, temps should drop into the mid-20s °C, and VPD will fall closer to the “sweet spot” for dense flowers and reduced disease pressure. • Defol Touch-ups: Another light defoliation may be needed around week 5–6 to open up bud sites deeper in the canopy. ⸻ Final Thoughts This Week The Super Silver Haze legacy is shining through, these phenos are vigorous, symmetrical, and stable, a perfect balance of old-school genetics and modern growing science.

Things progressing, does defoliation really improve yield? I’m hearing conflicting arguments

Heeeere we go! Sorry for the late update! This is when I start the flush! I believe the plants are pretty much ready at this point and doing this will just improve the final product! Doing this took me a good chunk of time, mostly because I didn't know exactly how much of water I was going to need (it was a loooot 😫) and how hard/tiring it was to pH it as well. In the end my calculations were off, as I needed far more water than what I had (lol) so I didn't manage to do a full flush... but I still managed to lower the amount of salts and residues to a "decent" level (around 850 to 1500 ppm). I also used flawless finish so I suppose than even when I didn't use enough water that solution alone was enough to help! Besides that the rest of the week was quite calm and relaxing. Thanks everyone for reading! 😍

All 3 plants cut and just Ozz remaining to dry and trim. Terrible outcome for #4 as I had to throw more than half of the plant away due to bud rots. I’m still really confused about what happened: the day before harvest I noticed and removed 3 bud rots from the plant - so far so good. All remaining buds were fine, but when trimming I realised every single top was maroon-ish at the base and I could clearly see a start of mold when opening some of them. Although I could clearly confirm what it was with a 30x lens, the white spots were extremely scarce and small (less than 1x1mm each time). It doesn’t seem really coherent with how it should have spread. Nonetheless, I didn’t take risk and threw away any bud where I could identify white mold with the lens, and put aside the ones where I had a doubt in pop corns (the “7g maybe”, cf below) to track the evolution. A quick summary of the harvest so far, will edit when I have some time: - Dorel: 250g wet, 37g dry / 17g trim (54g total) - #4: 450g wet, 33g dry / 7g maybe / 29g trim (62-69g total) + a lot thrown away due to bud rots - Ozz: only weighted the two bigger canopie I cut, 162g+142g≈300g wet. It represents around half of the whole plant (probably less, but stem included), so around 5-600g wet total.

Throughout the week, I give compost tea, and fermented plant juice once each ^^ Hope you guys have a wonderful day today ^^v *** Please Like, comment & share *** Highly appreciated -----/-----<@

This week was easy, just keeping an eye on the environment and low stress and high stress (supercropping) methods. Top soil was amended last week to keep the slow release organic nutrients for bloom going. The genetics are keeping it low profile, but I am able to spread it out with it's flower stretch. Have some decent top sites forming. Removing fan leaves from prime bud sites, otherwise defoliation is pretty low. Tucking fan leaves and other leaves as much as possible without removal as well. Ladies have been drinking water daily and seem to be quite healthy and green. Will be interesting to see the bud formation as it grows. I am curious with the Lowryder genetics seeming to be in stature, wondering if buds will be more Lowryder or AK-47 looking. Genetics seem resilient and quite happy with warmer and dryer environment. This week focusing on training more to get canopy how I want for final flower form. Defoliation as necessary, and keeping an eye on the environment. Things have been smooth and easy so far. The light measurements are using my phone, in a case, with LED lighting, so highly likely the readings aren't very accurate. But gives me an idea where my zones are for hitting most intensity where I need.

third week. she is growing. Unfortunately, the new leaves also show signs of over-fertilization. I hope it will improve over time. I have now raised the lamp to 50 cm above the leaf tip and set it to 50W. Additionally, I may have overwatered the plant last week, although I’m not entirely sure. So I let them dry out for the last two days. I think I’m making every beginner mistake possible. 🌱 greetings
