Just checking the trichome heads daily to harvest them at the for me perfect moment.

July 8: big thunderstorm last night had a few minutes of hail that did mostly minor damage. Some fan leaves with holes and others taken right off the plant. Oh well. Now I know that some of the mystery holes in leaves might just be hail damage. July 9: these Northern Lights are the fastest growing of the autos in this batch. Added Power Bloom and a handful of malted barley as a top dressing. July 11: growing fast with hot and sunny forecast for the next two weeks. 👍

All going well. No problems

Hello, I will start the harvest on June 5th, a purple punch brings a week longer. 🔥💚🔥

The plants are growing nicely! They were all flushed with plain pH balanced water on Friday and will be fed nutrients listed above on: 5/31

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.

I tend to forget about her as im mesmerized by others, she’s the one with the best perfume currently in the room. It’s very possible she starts busting late flower, trellis is up show me what you got girl. Coated top down she is some sticky icky oooooh weee! Yep hydro still in Veg Ive topped for a second round shit will be bonkers and going in the flower tent after this round. Will most likely initiate flowering in aboit 2 weeks or until she blows the top off this tent. Stay Safe Stay Fresh GHL

Nuevamente repito siempre el mismo proceso en el cuidado de la planta en cada etapa. Siempre cuido el ph que para mí es lo más importante en este trabajo. Despúes todo lo demas se puede mejorar.

Recovering just fine from the crash! I have another of exactly the same seed, critical +2.0, in a pot next to it (but a 20L pot) and they are currently the same size/doing as well as each other. Because the can is quite long I add a small amount of water from the top and also dip the can into the water to feed from below. At the bottom of the can I made around 15 small holes across the base, and there are stones covering perhaps the bottom 1.5cm of the can to further promote drainage. No ferts yet!

Starting to see almost all Milky trichomes. Buds are pretty dense. Smell is strong and loud. Smells like lemon sweet kushy

Heya🤙👍🤙🌱 This diary is going to show you guys my journey being a contender in a local Cannabis Cup🏆 22 Jan 2024 Got the tracking number for the seeds and packaging this morning. LET'S GOOOO!

The first 2 one companion planting a f1photoperiod(documented on another diary) and in a 2L pot are both lemon cherry cookies auto and the last one in a 1L pot is frozen face auto there are 2 sets of 2 side branches streaching on each autoflowers and handeling first set of defoliation and LST extremely well hopefully should see signs of more streaching as coming up to pre flower due to autos genetic makeup

Hey! Welcome to week 9 for Karen! Week 8 is now complete so please go and check it out 🙏. Big week last week... massive. Day 57: Fertigated 6l. Height 40cm. Day 58: Scent has stepped up again and I'm noticing some of bud sites starting to develop frost. Day 58.5 Flushed with 20l of PH & CalMag. Day 59: reorganised tent Day 60: Fertigated 3l. Karen has put on a load of frost in the last 24h. I mean seriously. Smell stepped up again. Height 44cm. Day 60.5: I have had a really good look at other KKA grows. I think Karen is going to need a few extra weeks. I think she will be ready for harvest in about week 14. So I think we have about another 4-5 weeks to go. Day 61: Adjusted the LST a bit. She's frosting rapidly now. 😍😍🤩 Height 45cm. Width: 60cm x 70cm Day 61.5: It is only 8 days since I *heavily* defoliated and I think I probably should do it again already. Things are progressing well at the moment though so I am trying to resist doing it too soon. She is still stretching. Day 61.75: Right, I have done some research and I have made a decision,. I'm going to give Karen 2 full weeks from the last defoliation on day 53, so on day 67 (i.e half way through next week) I will defoliate and perform final LST just to space out the colas a bite more at the "top" of the plant. Incidentally, Nesia is now easily the same spread as Karen.. Nesia is going to be much bigger than Karen. Check out Nesia here: https://growdiaries.com/diaries/161801-grow-journal-by-unorthodoxdude If you are interested in the stunted Big Bang Auto - Bertha - who is 2 days younger than Karen, check her out here: https://growdiaries.com/diaries/158111-grow-journal-by-unorthodoxdude - in the current week I have added various photos of the non-cannabis plants in my tent. Who knew basil flowers were so pretty? 😊 Day 62: Fertigated 3l Day 63: Height 47cm width 65cm x 75cm Week Summary: Another big week with a plant barely recognisable from herself a week ago. As well as the ongoing stretch she has started to frost over this week and I am hoping this continues because more and more is appearing all over the place.

another sucessfull week of just sitting here not growing much but still staying alive just waiting on a place to grow. I have some that will be finished next week, so harvest, clean and reset for the pot patch 2023 and grow this baby out for the contest.

Left Side- Purple Punch Right Side- Gelato Soon will switch these girls to flower.

This are slowly but the color and the leaves seen to be sativa and nice size of the leave. This time i put some top crop veg to estimulate the growing, i hope you enjoy the little videos.

Greetings fellow growers 🖖 and welcome to my first grow ever. This adventure actually started several months ago when I decided to stop buying flower from dispensaries and just grow my own bud. How hard can it be!? This is actually my second seed of this strain. The first bean sadly died due to over watering (sorry girl, RIP). I was literally watering the cube to the point where water was dripping from the bottom, then heavily sprayed the humidity dome and tray with the vents completely closed. Everyday. Multiple times. I never let the dome or try dry out. So after about 8 days of not sprouting, there was a funky smell of rot. So that was that. Later I learned that rockwool retains a lot of water and can easily drown seeds. So a wet/dry cycle is best for rockwool germination. So even after hours of researching and digging through forums and tutorial videos, I was still under prepared for this journey. Did not consider how delicate the germination phase is. Oh well. Lesson learned. Reset and try again! I hope everyone is safe and stoned during this corona crisis. Just like everyone else in the world, I want this pandemic to be over with. But in the meantime, let's grow some weed! 🖖 [START OF WEEK 01] Day 01 - Monday - 08/03/20 - Total Days: 001 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Light Schedule: 24Hrs/0 --- Soaked cube in 5.5 PH water for 10 min. Did not shake water out. --- NO NUTES! Only PH'd down to control the PH levels. --- Did not use the default hole (way too deep). --- Flipped cube upside down and made a shallow hole for the seed (less than 0.25" deep). --- Placed seed in and pinched hole close. No additional water added. --- Sprayed the tray and dome with straight water (5.5 PH). --- Vents are cracked opened a for ventilation (about 1/4 opened each). --- Distance between the light and tray was 53" --- AC was set to 80 °F --- Exhaust fan was set to 86 °F --- Room average temp was at 85 °F --- Dome humidity was at 85-99% when sprayed. --- Allowing to completely dry before respraying. - [2200]: Dome and tray were completely dry! Sprayed only tray and dome with more water. Day 02 - Tuesday - 08/04/20 - Total Days: 002 ----------------------------------- - [0845]: Sprayed dome and tray in the morning. Everything was dry. --- Hoping for the best! - [2130]: Everything was dry again, so sprayed dome and tray at night along with a light spray on the cube. Day 03 - Wednesday - 08/05/20 - Total Days: 003 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Everything was dry again. Resprayed dome and tray. Slightly sprayed cube. - [2125]: Hooo damn!! She popped! Am little stub is visible! Resprayed dome and tray again. --- Still going 24/0 for lights. - [+0033]: Just checked up on her and I swear she grew a bit taller! Getting excited! Day 04 - Thursday - 08/06/20 - Total Days: 004 ----------------------------------- - [0845]: Wow! Went from a little stub to fully sprouted overnight! Everything was pretty dry again so resprayed dome and tray. - [2200]: Tap root is visible! Over 1" long too! Just resprayed dome and tray again. -- Going to prep for hydroton transplant tomorrow! Day 05 - Friday - 08/07/20 - Total Days: 005 ----------------------------------- - [0930]: She keeps growing! -- Added a bit of CalMag to the spray bottle (8 drops to 650ml of distilled water). Resprayed dome and tray. Water was at a 5.4 PH with 141 PPM. - [1045]: Prepped the bubble bucket with 4.5gal of water. Water is high enough to reach about 0.25" above the bottom of the net pot. --- Added 3 drops of Superthrive --- Added 3.5ml of CaliMagic --- Added 2ml Hydroguard --- Then PH'd down to 5.6 --- Solution Strengh: 120 PPM --- Water chiller is set to 20 °C - [1100]: Transplant time! --- Filled the net basket 1/3 with hydroton. When placed in the bucket, air bubbles are not visible, but are slightly below the surface (slight digging will reveal the water/bubbles below). --- Removed plastic on rockwool cube and placed in basket, then filled around and covered with hydroton. Making sure to block any light from passing through the net pot and into the nutrient solution. --- Covered with a half-bottle dome sprayed with the CalMag water from earlier. --- Hoping for the best! - [1300]: Raised Bucket 5" higher. Now light distance is 48" to top of bucket. - [1820]: Lowered tent exhaust temp to 76 °F --- Lowered AC to 75 °F --- Raised bucket even higher so light distance is 30" to top of bucket. - [2300]: Looking good! --- Sprayed dome and surrounding hydroton with more CalMag water. --- Attached timer to light! So new 18 Hrs On/6 Hrs Off light schedule. --- Lights On: [1600] (4pm) --- Lights Off: [+1000] (10am the next day) --- Decided to go with lights on during the evening/night and off during the later mornings/afternoon (the hottest part of the day) to see if temps can be controlled better. --- Please survive girl! Day 06 - Saturday - 08/08/20 - Total Days: 006 ----------------------------------- - [0800]: Everything was dry. Resprayed hydroton and dome. - [2000]: Here first night cycle seemed to go well! Get'n taller! --- Dry again. Removed the dome. --- PH went up to 6.5 so PH'd down to 5.7 --- Ran the top feed drip ring for a bout a minute to wet the hydroton and rockwool with the nutient solution. ---Too scared to leave the top feed on 24hrs (I don't want over water her and cause dampening-off). Will let dry before re-watering. - [2100]: After closer inspection, I think she's looking a bit yellow. --- Decided to add a bit of grow nutes to the bubbler solution. --- Added 2ml of Sensi Grow A --- Added 2ml of Sensi Grow B --- Solution strength after adding more nutes: 176 PPM --- PH went up to 6 --- I hope that the extra chelating properties of the 'PH Perfect' solution is enough of a buffer for proper nutrient uptake. Day 07 - Sunday - 08/09/20 - Total Days: 007 ----------------------------------- - [0800]: Water dropped a bit (mostly due to evaporation) so solution strength was at 190. --- Checked PH again. Was still at 6, so PH'd down to 5.4 --- Ran the top feed for a minute to wet the hydroton a bit. - [0915]: Since she's looking perky but still a bit yellow. So decided to up the nutrient concentration even more before lights out. --- Added 2ml more of Sensi Grow A --- Added 2ml more of Sensi Grow B --- Solution strength after adding more nutes: 199 PPM --- PH went up to 5.8 - [1700]: Checked nutrients. --- PH: 5.9 --- Solution strength: 202 PPM --- Added 4ml of Voodoo Juice --- Added 4ml of B-52 --- PH after adding more nutes: 5.9 --- Solution strength after adding more nutes: 238 PPM - [2130]: Decided to make a new foliar spray to address the continued yellowing. --- Started with 500ml of distilled water. --- Added 3 drops of CaliMagic --- Added 3 drops of Sensi Grow A --- Added 3 drops of Sensi Grow B --- Added 3 drops of B-52 --- Added 1 drop of Superthrive --- Solution strength: 164 PPM --- PH was at 5.9 and did not adjust. --- Gave her one spray. --- Also sprayed the surrounding hydroton. [END OF WEEK 01]
