This week saw an influx of flower sites all over the plant, cannot believe how many flower sites this girl started yielding! Did some HST previous week and had wrangled the stems to create knuckles by breaking cell walls and forcing them to become thicker. Pics of recovery and knuckle forming.

The speed of this phenotype is insane, we're only 5 weeks after the first 12h day and she's already getting close to harvest. The smell is super fruity, super sweet, it's like a candy and by far the best smell I've had on a plant. The buds are not that big (probably cause of the 100W lamp) but they are beautiful and super dense, the pink colors with the light green and orange pistils it just looks delicious. The trichome density is also really high, it's super sticky.

Super Silver Haze (Zamnesia Seeds) — Flower Week 7 (Recovery) Grower: Dog Doctor Strain: Super Silver Haze Breeder: Zamnesia Seeds Stage: Flower — Week 7 (recovery after localized bud rot) Pots/Medium: 11 L fabric pots — living super soil with Aptus pellets and Plagron support Watering: Hand watering; currently water only (see science below) Lights: F.O.G. Black Series 600W + ThinkGrow ICL-300 (inner canopy) + Lumatek Zeus Compact Pro 465W Control & Monitoring: TrolMaster Hydro-X/Tent-X + WCS substrate sensors Air exchange: Dual 6” filtered exhausts + filtered intake; oscillating fans moving canopy air Current environment (example): day ~29–31 °C, night ~24–26 °C, RH mid 50s–60s, CO₂ ~700 ppm ⸻ Quick recap — seed to the present moment • Germination & early veg: 3/3 germinated via Cannakan; strong, even starts. • Transplant: Into 11 L fabric pots with a super soil base inoculated with Aptus Mycor/Micro mixes and buffered for pH stability. • Veg: Compact, steady growth; conservative feeding with Aptus starter lineup. • Early flower: Fast flower transition, pistils and bud sites stacking quickly. Plagron trio (Power Buds, Sugar Royal, Green Sensation) + Aptus boosters used to enhance bloom development. • Bud rot event: Localized Botrytis found inside one cola; removed quickly and thoroughly. Loss minimal. Immediate steps taken (see below). • Recovery week (this report): Plants responding strongly — dense colas, heavy frosting, explosive aroma. We moved temporarily to water-only feed to stabilize the root zone and let the soil biology drive nutrition. ⸻ What happened and how we dealt with it 1. Detection: Small dark spot discovered deep inside a dense cola. Because rot often starts inside dense clusters, early detection is key. 2. Immediate action: Removed the affected flowers and any suspicious material. Cut generously around infected tissue to avoid leaving spores. Placed waste in sealed bags and removed from the growroom. 3. Sanitation: Cleaned tools, wiped surfaces, checked fans and filters for dust pockets, and increased canopy airflow. 4. Environment adjustments: Increased air movement across and through the canopy; checked extraction; planned AC installation to lower day temps and stabilize RH. 5. Observation & patience: Kept strict daily inspections for any new spots; let plants recover without additional heavy nutrient pushes. Result: the loss was minimal, the rest of the canopy stayed healthy, and the plants rebounded quickly. Dense, frosty colas and an incredibly strong smell are the signs they are back on track. ⸻ Why “water only” right now — the science, explained simply We moved to water-only feeds for a short, strategic period. That decision is conservative and backed by three practical goals: 1. Reduce salt and nutrient spikes: After stress and after tissue removal, roots can be sensitive. Water-only flushes prevent sudden EC spikes that can further stress roots. Salt buildup can inhibit water uptake (osmotic stress); clean water restores osmotic balance. 2. Let the soil biology work: You’re growing in a living super soil with Aptus pellets and biological inoculants. Microbes mineralize nutrients slowly and steadily. When plants are stressed, microbial mineralization becomes more important than high-concentration liquid feeds. Water-only gives beneficial microbes a stable environment to supply what the plant needs. 3. Avoid overstimulating lush growth: At late flower, you want carbohydrate partitioning to favor flower filling and resin production, not new vegetative pushes. Limiting NPK pulses prevents a late vegetative response and encourages the plant to allocate sugars to trichome and calyx growth. Practical note: “Water only” does not mean nutrient-starvation. Your living soil still releases NPK and trace elements. Monitor substrate EC (WCS) and plant appearance; if deficiency signs persist for more than a week, reintroduce a light, balanced feed. ⸻ The gear doing the heavy lifting — why the ICL-300 inner canopy lights matter • ThinkGrow ICL-300 (inner canopy lights): These deliver targeted, diffuse light deeper into the canopy. For dense sativas or hybrids that set flowers lower on the plant, inner-canopy LEDs reduce shading and encourage even bud set on lower nodes. They also reduce the need to strip leaves to reach light—so you can preserve biology and microclimate. • F.O.G. Black Series & Lumatek: Provide high PPFD to the top canopy for strong photosynthesis and sugar production. The combination of powerful top light + targeted inner lights = even canopy carbon distribution and more uniformly fat colas. • TrolMaster + WCS: Real-time data on substrate moisture and EC lets you water by need (you’re already using ~19–25% dryness triggers), which prevents both saturation pockets that encourage rot and drought that stresses plants. • Airflow & filtration: Dual exhausts and oscillating fans keep air moving; carbon filters keep air clean. This is essential to lower local humidity around flowers and prevent new rot pockets. All gear together creates a system: light for sugar, airflow for dryness, monitoring for precision, and soil biology for nutrition. ⸻ Observations this week • Colas: Thickening, dense, frosty. Trichome production visible even with the naked eye. • Aroma: Extremely potent — strong typical Super Silver Haze profile developing (citrus/citrus-haze + spicy/earthy back-notes), likely driven by terpene expression and warm room temps. • Leaves: Minor spotting in places earlier; after CalMag adjustments and water-only period, new growth is healthy and vibrant. • Root zone: Very active — roots visible through fabric, good white root color where checked. ⸻ Risks to watch and mitigation steps (practical, daily checklist) • Risk: Secondary rot pockets — Mitigation: daily inspection, move a small headlamp into canopy to view internals, keep oscillating fans moving air between bud layers. • Risk: High night humidity with cooler temps — Mitigation: install AC / run dehumidifier at night, maintain extraction during lights-off. • Risk: Support failure from heavy colas — Mitigation: pre-position soft ties / netting to support colas now before they get heavy. • Risk: Late-flower nutrient imbalance — Mitigation: watch leaf tips/edges for burn or deficiency. If signs appear, use small, dilute corrective feeds rather than heavy dosages. ⸻ What to expect in the next 1–3 weeks • Short term (next 7 days): Continued fattening of calyxes, sustained trichome increase, aroma intensifies. Plants will drink more as flowers bulk. Keep water-only until the canopy is stable and substrate EC is within your target range. • Mid term (weeks 2–3 from now): Major bulk phase — colas will gain weight and density. Trichomes will move from clear → cloudy (start of potency peak). Expect more resin and heavier terpene bouquet. • Near harvest planning: Start planning drying/curing space and harvest timeline once trichome clouding reaches your target (we’ll plan this together when the time approaches). Also plan to stagger harvests if colas mature at different rates. ⸻ Short educational sidebar — why trichomes explode now (brief) Late flower is all about sugar allocation and secondary metabolism. With high light, steady CO₂, and stable root nutrition, plants convert energy into: • Calyx growth (mass) — the physical body of the bud • Trichome production (resin glands) — metabolically expensive, but essential for protection and reproduction; trichomes store terpenes and cannabinoids which act as plant defense and pollinator signals in nature The combination of your lighting, living soil biology, and current conservative feeding strategy drives both mass and resin production. ⸻ Final practical tips for the diary entry • Post a short video walk-through of the canopy with commentary pointing to the saved areas vs. new growth — that tells the recovery story visually. • Photograph a closeup of a supported, heavy cola to show density and resin. • Note the date of the rot removal and actions taken in the GrowDiaries log — that makes the journal useful for other growers and for troubleshooting later runs. • Keep a small “harvest box” ready: sanitized scissors, nets, gloves, labeled trays — you’ll want them when the time comes. ⸻ Gratitude and perspective we acted fast, used sound horticultural judgment, and let biology and environment do their work. That combination saved the run. Super Silver Haze is responding like a champion — dense, frosty, and unapologetically aromatic.

Veg8, siguen creciendo bien, todavía quedan 2 plantas por sacrificar, lo decidiré en el próximo riego. Veg9, ya se seleccionaron las 9 plantas, se sacrificaron las últimas 2. Veg10, riego con 0.7 EC y pH 6.0, drenaje de 1.0 EC y 6.6 pH, se tendrá que seguir bajando el pH de los siguientes riegos, las plantas han estirado un poco más, en unos 2 días se hará transplante a los maceteros definitivos. Se planea hacer LST, pero ya que los nodos están muy juntos, si no estiran mucho tendré que hacer Main Lining. Veg11, nada significativo. Veg12, riego con 0.8 EC y pH 5.5, drenaje 1.0 EC y pH 6.5, plantas listas para transplante dentro de los próximos días, se comienza a mezclar el sustrato para los maceteros definitivos. Veg13, dia de transplante, sustrato con 50% de turba y 50% de vermiculita(sílice), se agrego dolomita para subir el pH del suelo a 5.5~5.8 y además la dolomita agrega calcio y magnesio al suelo, también se agregó yeso agrícola al sustrato el cual es de liberación lenta y agrega calcio y azufre. Al momento del transplante se rocía directamente las raices con voodoo juice, tarantula y piranha, además se espolvorea great white, una ves puesta en el nuevo sustrato, se riega con 1.2 EC y 5.5 pH, de micro, grow y bloom, además b-52, etc. Veg14, nada significativo, siguen creciendo bien, en unos 2 días más haré Main Lining.

Harvest day for 2 plants , I forgot to take a picture of the 1st plant when pre trimmed , both are pretty huge , the 1st plant I expected her to be a lot smaller than what I got in my hand once cut down, the second plant was huge from the start , there is still a monster finishing her buds in the tent left so I I left this grow unfinished due to that for the moment

Empieza el show 20 de julio Realizamos cambio a 12h. Se avecina una muy gorda, intentaré realizar actualizaciones diarias a poder ser porque me interesa muchísimo ver como se desarrolla y espero que vosotros también. SEMANA 0 20 al 26 de julio En diferencia a mis cultivos habituales esta vez voy a empezar desde la semana 0. Nuestros compañeros de Crazy Roots nos están ayudando y con la experiencia que tienen nos lanzamos con los ojos cerrados 😝 Ya empieza a levantar las ramas a las que hicimos supercropin. Estamos muy contento con el entrenamiento que realizamos, los resultados están siendo muy buenos. 21 de julio Riego con unos 2.2l 1 vitamax + 2.5 Sólo tec + 2 bloom fuel + 0.3 silica power PH : 5.6/5.7 Th20 : 25°C Da gusto verla, la verdad es que se está poniendo bonita, pero otra vez pide de comer. Iremos suavemente que esta es una larga batalla y mejor quedarnos cortos que ir pasados. 23 de julio Riego foliar con tierra de diatomeas como preventivo. 24 de julio Se nos han quedado restos blancos de la tierra de diatomeas en las hojas pero no es nada preocupante, más bien estético. Además aprovechamos para hacer poda foliar que ya tocaba y teníamos un arbusto... hacemos limpia y vamos dejando las ramas que nos interesa para floración. Las temperaturas rondan los 27°C pero hot hacemos un cambio importante. Vamos a cambiar nuestro lec de 315w por 2 jackson (placa led) de 150w de la marca Grow the jungle, veremos que sale, seguro que algo bueno. Esperamos bajar las temperaturas un poco con este cambio y conseguir más homogeneidad en el cultivo. 25 de julio Hacemos un riego más ligero para no pasarnos con la fertilización. Regalos con 1.5l aprox 2.5 ml Bud fuel pro + 2.5 ml bloom fuel PH 6.2 EC 0.6ms Th20: 22.5°C 26 de julio Se acaba esa primera semana 0. Hoy ponemos el quemador de azufre a funcionar por unas 5h, tenemos que prevenir todo lo que se pueda porque una vez salgan las flores no habrá margen de error. También hacemos un riego foliar con Delta nueve usando 4,5ml•l Por comentar como reflexion: Nunca en mi vida había visto algo así. Ya había leído que era una planta compleja, que hay que darle de comer con cuenta gotas, que estira mucho.. Pero vivirlo en primera persona es diferente, y todavía no estamos en una floración avanzada.. Hace mucho que esta planta dejo de tener sentido. Es muy difícil sacarle fotos porque es muy frondosa y compleja, increible lo que ramifica, he andado doblando ramas y entrelazandolas sin sentido con la intención de intentar controlarla pero ella es indomable. Como tengo unas amnesia en el mismo cultivo el nivel de nutrientes es bastante bajo pero aún así, la ves y ves que te pide nutrientes pero riegos con una ec de 1ms y se engarran las hojas (sobrefertilizacion). He visto diarios de gente ponerla a 30cm y haciendo poda apical antes de pasar a flora y quedarse en 150cm.. Asique esto como reaccionará al cambio? Ha día de hoy pienso si es buena idea el haberla entrenado tanto y si seremos capaces de controlarla. Señoras y señores el ESPECTACULO ESTA GARANTIZADO!!!!

Sponsored grow 👉WeedSeedsExpress👈 Week 7 / Flower week 3 2/23-3/1 Week 7 flower week 4 Love Potion is in flower, the buds are puffing out with many white pistols. Trichomes are just starting to form Love Potion got her first defoliation removing fans and any bud sites and more pins added on 2/24. Since I have overfed my gals, this week I am trying to remove excess fertilizer from the planting medium by giving ph 6.5 water only. I am hoping since Love Potion is behind the other gals, I’ve addressed the over feeding issue and she will not show burnt tips and look pretty out her life. Ph 6.5 Temp 65 Thank You @WeedSeedsExpress for the opportunity to grow your strains. Your likes and comments are appreciated. Thanks for stopping by. Growers love 💚🌿 💫Natrona💫
