Super Silver Haze (Zamnesia Seeds) – Flower Week 5 ⸻ 🌿 Quick Recap – From Seed to Week 5 Flower • Week 1 Flower: Fast transition—pistils everywhere, healthy roots, compact growth. • Week 2 Flower: Morphology shift in full swing; feeding adjusted with Top Booster and Plagron trio (Power Buds, Sugar Royal, Green Sensation). • Week 3 Flower: Light defoliation to open structure. Plants ~120 cm, hybrid leaf traits, strong root activity. • Week 4 Flower: Bud stacking accelerated, pistils thickening, recipe simplified (soil NPK carrying, boosters fine-tuning). • Week 5 Flower (current): Buds swelling, pistils everywhere, resin heads sparkling. Slight leaf spotting observed—likely Ca/Mg imbalance. Adjusted by reintroducing Aptus All-In-One Liquid for a nutrient push and better balance. ⸻ 🌱 Plant Development Both phenos continue to mirror each other, tight internodes, balanced structure, and lush hybrid leaves. The buds are swelling rapidly, calyxes stacking beautifully, and pistils are thick and lively. The resin layer is already visible, giving a frosty shimmer that promises density and potency in the weeks ahead. A few spots appeared on lower and mid leaves—most likely a calcium/magnesium issue. To counter, we increased nutritional support by bringing Aptus All-In-One Liquid back into the mix, ensuring a complete and balanced NPK profile while keeping boosters steady. ⸻ 💧 Feeding & Nutrition (Week 5) • Aptus Regulator – micronutrient transport, cell wall integrity • Aptus CalMag Boost – raising Ca/Mg levels to address leaf spotting • Aptus All-In-One Liquid – full-spectrum NPK support reintroduced this week • Plagron Power Buds, Sugar Royal, Green Sensation – continuing to enhance flower development, aroma, and resin formation Soil still provides a strong nutritional backbone, but this week’s adjustments help stabilize the balance and support heavy bud development. ⸻ 🌡️ Environmental Conditions • Day Temp: ~29–30°C • Night Temp: ~25°C • Humidity: ~65% • VPD: ~1.3–1.4 kPa • CO₂: ~700 ppm • Watering: ~1.5–2L per plant/day, at ~20% soil dryness • Soil EC: ~2.0 • Light Intensity: 760–780 PPFD across canopy AC installation is still pending, so temps are slightly higher than ideal, but plants remain vigorous and unstressed. ⸻ ✨ Special Focus: Trichomes – Nature’s Treasure Houses At Week 5, trichomes are beginning to form in visible density, and this is a great moment to explore what they are and why they matter. 🔬 What Are Trichomes? Trichomes are microscopic, glandular outgrowths on cannabis flowers and leaves. They are resin factories—producing cannabinoids (THC, CBD, CBG, etc.), terpenes (aromatic oils), and flavonoids (pigments and antioxidants). 🌸 Cannabinoids • THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol): Primary psychoactive compound; euphoric, creative, uplifting. • CBD (Cannabidiol): Non-psychoactive, soothing, anti-inflammatory, balancing. • Others: CBG, CBC, THCV—each contributing unique effects and therapeutic potential. 🌺 Terpenes Aromatic molecules giving cannabis its smell and flavor profile. Examples: • Myrcene: Earthy, musky, sedative qualities • Limonene: Citrus, uplifting, mood-enhancing • Pinene: Piney, sharp, potentially focus-enhancing These terpenes modulate the effects of cannabinoids in the entourage effect. 🎨 Flavonoids Less talked about, but flavonoids contribute to color, taste, and antioxidant activity. They can influence the final bouquet and even the therapeutic properties of the plant. 🌌 Why They Matter Now At Week 5, trichomes are initiating en masse, but they are still clear and immature. As the weeks progress, they’ll cloud, then amber, signaling ripeness. Monitoring trichomes with a loupe is the most reliable way to judge harvest time, not just pistils. ⸻ 🎛️ Gear & Setup • Lighting: Future of Grow Black Series 600W, ThinkGrow ICL-300 LEDs, and Lumatek Zeus Compact Pro 465W—all synced under TrolMaster for environmental control. • Airflow: Dual 6” extraction with carbon filters (TrolMaster Aerofan + Spider Farmer), controlled separately for redundancy. • Monitoring: TrolMaster Tent-X + WCS substrate sensor—tracking EC, moisture, and real-time root zone conditions. ⸻ 🌿 Outlook The girls are in their prime flowering momentum. With nutrients adjusted and trichomes stacking, the coming weeks should bring bulk, aroma, and resin explosion. This is where the legendary Super Silver Haze genetics (Skunk x Northern Lights x Haze) begin to show their pedigree—old-school power, modern stability.

I just recently made a growdiaries account and wasn’t able to get one of my Gelato Auto by Fastbuds. But I was really happy with the results and wanted to show it off a bit. I ended up with 105 grams dry from the 1 autoflower plant alone! Also mid grow as I was entering the flowering stage I broke one of the bigger stems during lst so I know for sure I would have pulled a QP off of her alone. Really happy with that and not to mention the quality of nugs I got off of her.

Info: Unfortunately, I had to find out that my account is used for fake pages in social media. I am only active here on growdiaries. I am not on facebook instagram twitter etc All accounts except this one are fake. Flowering day 1 since time change to 12/12 h. Hi guys :-) . The time has finally come 👍 You have been switched to 12/12 hrs and are ready to flower. Of course, cuttings were cut beforehand to keep the genetics. For 4 days now she has also been getting Fast Buds from GreenBuzzLiquids. They were also sprayed again with GBL Fast Plant spray. She is very healthy and I am excited to see how she gets going again in bloom :-). This week it was poured twice with 1.2 l each time (for nutrients, see nutrient table above). Then I filled canisters with fresh osmosis water for the next few weeks 👍. The tent was cleaned and every plant was checked for health. At the moment I am tinkering with the ventilation because there are currently 4 fans with 4 activated carbon filters running, which I want to make more efficient by putting a hose through 2 tents. These are the things about which you desperately at the beginning but learned from them in the end. I wish you all a nice week. Stay healthy 🙏🏻 You can buy this Nutrients at : https://greenbuzzliquids.com/en/shop/ With the discount code: Made_in_Germany you get a discount of 15% on all products from an order value of 100 euros.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas!!! We have had some crazy cold weather here the last 4 days and for the first time in 13 years had snow on Christmas day. So with the cold and snow came grow room issues. My grow space is outside and not attached to the house so maintaining a proper temperature and humidity has been a bit on the difficult side. Even with the lights running 24 hours, it's had a few drops down to 19c and the humidity has gone up to 68% a few times. Now luckly I'm still in veg and the humidity isn't a issue yet but the temperature has been making me worried. Going to put togther a heater with its own temperature switch increase it drops below 20c. Did some training over the last week with some LST and FIMing. With the LST every 3nd day I've been adjusting them and pulling the plants back a bit more and more. Since I don't think I'll be able to set up a SCRog net this go around (spent to much for Christmas and wont be able to affordthe PVC tubing) ive got to figure out something else and fast. Plants are getting big and it's going to get hard to bend then properly without braking stuff. Because I was showing some issues with 2 of my plants I started adding a bit of Revive to my res to see if they get better and they have. But because of the cold that's been hitting us my tank has had a hard time staying warm. Even with my 50w tank heater it's been fighting a up hill battle because the area outside the main room where the tank is, has been sitting around 14-17c. So with that the air pump I use to circulate the tank, it is pulling in cold air and thats been fighting the tank heater in getting it up to what I like it at. I tried using my water pump instead of the air pump for circulation and the res went up to 25.6c soooo I would much rather have 19c res then water that could kill my plants. So let's talk about the plants themselves. Both Special Queen plants are doing great but as you can see from the picture, one is doing absolutely amazing. Great growth (understatement) and has bounced back from training like a pro. The other plant is still doing really good when compared to all the other plants in the room but still could be a little bit better. Depending on what I'm going to do for supporting the plants this might be the last week of veg. Well see. Well that's all growmies. Happy growing everyone!!!

This week basically was just feeding the soil with molasses ( 5ml per 1 litre ). And Reverse osmosis water. Environment control during this stage is of high importance. Since the plant is moving from its adolescence to teenagehood, so to say lol, it's really vital to keep the conditions steady. Other than that, this week was a breeze. Thanks to any and everyone that's viewing my diary, I do appreciate the support. 💚🌿

📆 Week 8, 24-30 June 2024 24 June - Defoliated 25-30 June - Observed and let the plant grow. 📑 Defoliated Pablo. Well, she successfully smothered out the main apex and topped herself. I gave it the final pinch to complete the process. Pablo is one of most densely packed plants I’ve grown. She is beautiful and lush, but she requires a little more attention than most. 🍶 24, 27 June nutrient solution changed 🍽️ 24, 27 June feeding schedule updated 💧 Using reverse osmosis water with EC/TDS at 0 🐉 Nutrient solution EC 2.8 at 74 degrees F 🔆 Light power at 80%, DLI 40 canopy coverage at 12hrs 😤 Using PYPABL, Air Pump, 400GPH That is it for this week. Thanks for the look, read and stopping by.

Normal flight, all 4 plants strached quite good. Unknown plant is much weaker comparing to Super skunk, that has a really strong genetic. Plan to watch them next week, if all goes well will start training the plants. Plan to do topping and LST. God bless you brother if you are reading this 🤙

Only 3/4 sprouted so I’m going with that. I don’t have any extra seeds. I am very happy tho because my last grow 4 was a lot in my setup. I want to see how much I can train 3 plants and how much bigger I can get them. I also have to order seeds this run and get more soil. Very excited

It has been getting harder to take the plant out and in of the stealth bucket. Would recommend a alternative strain for next time.

Auto Maxi Gom is growing good. She got her first lst today. She is under the Medic Grow Mini Sun-2, in Xpert Nutrients. The feed chart might be a bit strong for autoflowers. I think I got it better figured out now. Everything is looking really good. Thank you Xpert Nutrients, Medic Grow, and Seeds Mafia. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

This week I decided to recruit my husband to get a proper look at this girl's roots. She's gotten so damn big that it's impossible for me to get a shot otherwise. Her root ball is massive. She's large and in charge. I went through and gave her another thorough round of defoliation. What I removed was any droopy leaves in the underbrush, as well as any fan leaves that were casting shadows and blocking light from my bud sites. When I was finished, I was able to stand over my plant, look down, and visibly see through to the base of my plant and grow media. Being able to do this suggests to me that my light source is also able to penetrate down throughout the plant as well. The removal of these leaves also contributed to improved air circulation and decreased humidity - both which are important as we progress through the flowering stage. This week I also caught my first whiff of this plant's sweet aroma. I'm excited to see how her terps develop over the upcoming weeks! 😋😋😋 I cloned another branch off this plant. Baby Tester FF3s are slowly taking over my house. 😂 Thank you for following along! This has been so fun! ✌️ 💜 🌱
