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.

We’re in the seventh week of flowering, and the plant is looking absolutely stunning! It’s starting to show beautiful purple colors in many places, all the way through the buds. The colors are really popping, and it’s giving the plant such a unique look. On top of that, it’s smelling incredibly sweet—strong and fragrant every time I open the tent! 🍬🌿 Most of the trichomes are now a milky white, which is exactly where I hoped they’d be at this point. I’m sticking to the BioBizz week 7 bloom schedule, knowing it’s almost time for the flush. 🌱💧 Everything is going so well, and I’m beyond excited to see how it turns out in the final stages. Just one more week before the flush, and then we’re almost there! 😁✨

On day 1 I transplanted 2 BB clones into 3 gal smart pots with coco coir. I watered them in with veg formula and set up my blumat watering system with week 1 flower nutes. I raised PPFD to 600-700. On day 2 the reservoirs PH was adjusted from 6.4 to 6.0. The rez is 823 ppm. The tops are 16.5" from the grow light. The blumats have not started watering yet and I will monitor to ensure it goes smoothly. I have the blumats set at 1.25 carrots on left plant and 1 carrot on right plant. The average PPFD of my 16 tops is 703 PPFD. I increased temps to 85 day 81 night to get leaf surface around 80 f during day. On day 3 the reservoirs PH is 6.2. The rez is 782 ppm. The blumats have started watering and I will monitor closely over the next few days. On day 4 the reservoirs PH was adjusted from 6.3 to 6.1. The rez is 717ppm. On day 5 the reservoirs PH is steady at 6.1. The rez is 706 ppm. The highest top is 15.25" from the light. I defoliated to bring in more air and light to deeper into the canopy. I increased the flow rate of blumat by .5 carrot on the right plant as it was a little to dry for my liking. The Clones are preforming well. On day 6 the reservoir PH is going down so I adjusted up from 6.0 to 6.2. The rez is 730 ppm. The highest cola is 14.75" from the light. The left plant had a runaway so I reduced blumat by 1 carrot. I increased flow of blumat on right plant by .5 carrot as it is still drier than I would like. On day 7 the reservoirs PH was adjusted from 6.3 to 6.0. The highest cola is 14.25". I reset rez with nutes.

Struggling a touch with cold temps at day and night but now swapped the 400mh for a 600hps for the last few days of veg to up temps a touch. Will initiate flower in a couple of days and all looks good. Limited height room in this chamber so plants are a little smaller than I normally would have liked.

Ya se acerca el día de la cosecha aunque sigue produciendo flores nuevas, el olor es fuerte, penetrante y hasta cierto punto picante. Estoy regando solo con agua y así seguiré hasta que la corte.

Did some ballsy defoliation yesterday, but the girls seem to be rebounding well... Not sure if I stunted the northern lights plant or if she's just genetically shorter and bushier. I find myself popping my head in the tent to check on them enough that my husband walked by and said "I wish you loved me as much as you love your plants" 12/23 update. Unsure what my leaves are trying to tell me. Soil felt a little dry so I took the opportunity for a pH balanced fairly heavy watering, no nutrients this feed. Maybe a salt build up since I've been giving light nutes with every feed? Last flush earlier this week with solid pH on the runoff, so maybe not. Maybe just too much nutrients in general. I'll back off for a bit and see how she does. 12/26 update: lemon auto is getting light burned AF. Wound up rearranging the light situation to take her farther away from the light, but still within it to get enough light for some (hopefully) dense buds. I think a bigger tent is in my future. Feeding every other, otherwise getting pH balanced water

Our Test #3 has already made me fall in love. It is one of those plants that is doing well I would already promote it but to avoid the risk of speaking too soon, let's see what grass it will give us. For each strain we have at least two plants there is also a specimen that is growing straight that you don't see in the photo for now for each strain of her I have two both excellent. The plant that you see in the photo responded excellently to topping from the beginning and did not suffer the stress that this technique brings the fertilizers for flowering that go from a few days after I made the switch to mid-week (it is therefore considered vegetative the plant is still understanding that it is going to flower). I find myself very well when it comes to flowering with Palgron in vegetative I have some difficulty I have to ask the experts for advice on how to prepare the soil with their products. I think I will use Bat Mix or Super Mix next time or the excellent pellet from Zamnesia going to integrate Alga grow if necessary. We did our best Zamnesia has put superb genetics and at home B&B we are working to show you the plants in all their possible meanings. This plant like all the other photoperiodic ones has been worked with a topping x16 buds, simply repeating the topping technique without doing anything else than cleaning the leaves from time to time and now the branches that I believe do not give me good flowers at the bottom. The 16 buds are perfectly aligned and it is very regular in growth. The fertilizers for flowering have helped us to return in a very short time to a good balance now we go straight to making great buds. We are still using soil, fertilizers and all the additives recommended by Plagron 100% organic. The plant has been flowering for 3 days, in the diary I leave it indicated as the last week of vegetative but we move on to the fertilizers for flowering. We have now moved on to the early flowering program that keeps the same additives Power Roots, Sugar Royal, Pure Zym and adds the flowering stimulant Power Buds. Now the basic fertilizer is now Alga Bloom with which I get along very very well even more than Alga Grow that sometimes I have to understand well how to dose in some particular cases ( topping). Probably try to prepare the soil with Plagron Super Mix or with the Zamnesia Pellet. The Green Sensation will arrive as the hero of the late flowering and at the same time it will be time to remove power roots and a week later the Pure Zym enzymes. ---- Decide on the right soil and calculate your fertilizer card based on the soil on the official website. -- www.plagron.com Try a seed of this strain that drives us crazy.. -------- Strain Coming Soon! Try another Zamnesia Masterpiece instead Zamnesia Description // Strain Coming Soon! Stay Tuned! All the best that mother nature can offer is on ---- www.zamnesia.com

That's how I know the crop was harvested too early:( ..... but only because someone started visiting my place of cultivation and took my two girls, and left two, so that he wouldn't come back a second time and take them, I decided to cut her down earlier:( that's it such news awaited me when I returned from vacation, but overall the girl looked very beautiful, although she got a lot of stress when the snails ate her, but she endured it and recovered very well:) I will dry the bigger flowers and make bubble hash from the rest, good luck to everyone be careful in nature :).

the plans have been doing very well and despite being very hungry they seem to be doing very well I just need to start feeding them instead of once a week probably twice a week because they are very hungry now that they are in full flower mode . thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow

As I figured she really started picking up speed this week. I'll be switching her to swell this week. Looking at a week 8 or 9 finish
