Chopped today, not enough room in dry tent to give her 48 hours in dark prior. The 4 tops didn't develop as well as hoped. It was the first time I topped an auto twice and still ran out of room. On the plus side the plant developed more uniformed. Buds were dense, hard. Hung 4 candelabra looking tops, the rest hung in bread wire chains. Great colors, decent gassy smell. Updates on weight and smoke in about 3 weeks.

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.

Gut

2 days before harvest ⏳✂️ The Sour OG in the front turned out super sour with a chemical, almost ammonia-like punch with hints of the OG. In contrast to the Motorbreath in the back, she is not very fuely. But the Motorbreath really smells like fuel/petrol - straight gas station vibes! It also has hints of lemon and is a little piney too, making it also appear a bit hazy somehow 🤷‍♂️

We are at the end now and by God has this been a long one never thought i would find a bag seed and now be a new grower it's a good feeling to be here now waiting to clip and bag her can't wait to have the first smoke it better be fucking good 2 Oz has cost me £1245 so far without including bills so yh fingers crossed for me guys time will tell

Alles in allem top riecht auch vorrangig nach Käse bisschen sauer, bin auf den Geschmack gespannt. Wenn sie fertig getrocknet ist für's Grovebag dann wird auch wieder eine kleine vorab Kostprobe gemacht 👍 So nach ein paar Wochen aushärten is der Geschmack der Hammer 🙏💪. Vorwiegend Richtung Blueberry mit einem Unterton Cheese. Wirklich extrem lecker und die Bud-Struktur ist der Wahnsinn, sehr dichte und knüppelharte Knospen, sowas gutes hatte ich bisher ni, selbst in den Shops in den Niederlanden noch nie so harte und harzige Blüten bekommen. Absoluter Favorit bis jetz, großes Lob an Zamnesia für die geile Sorte👌 die wird auf jeden Fall wieder gemacht. Hab zum Glück noch 2 Samen und werd auch wieder welche nachbestellen wenn die leer sind 😄.

16/01 Spider mites since 2 days, already start getting black spots on the leaves, she's very close to ready, so cut half way, will keep a close eye on the bottom... For another couple of days... 21/01 not much movement 24/01 cut lower part and cut the clones, BEST CLONES EVER ❤️♥️

This baby is looking so 🔥 right now. Nug sites are stacking up, guaranteed to produce a lot of bud.

With 33 grams on such a small plant I can't complain. I was amazed on the many hours (3) to clean the buds before curring. Several buds had rotten places because of the yellow leaves, they died and caused this problem Luckily I stopped in time and dived a little bit earlier in harvesting here highness.

Da frutos muy densos cargados de resina la calidad de la carne da ganas de pegarle un mordisco, empezando a madurar en la 5 semana mucha fuerza la alimento orgánicamente y está dando buenos frutos la resina es lo que destaca será su genética OG. Buenos humos "La felicidad no tiene precio"

Week 20: Flowering Week 3 – Lollipopping, Climate Control & Heavy Water Intake 🌸🌸 Relax! Hey, it's Week 20—Flowering Week 3 is officially underway! We are entering the final stretch of the stretch phase, and the canopy is looking dense, lush, and super active. The Screen of Green (ScrOG) net, which was installed at the start of Week 18, is doing an amazing job keeping everything level and evenly spread out across the tent. Environment & Climate Adjustment 🌡️💧 With the massive canopy and high transpiration, humidity started spiking. To keep the environment safe and prevent any mold risks in this critical phase, we installed a dedicated A/C unit with a dehumidification function. Day Temperatures: Ranging steadily between 21 °C and 27 °C. Relative Humidity: Kept under control between 54 % and 78 %. Plant Training & Maintenance ✂️ Lollipopping & Defoliation: This week, we performed a thorough lower-canopy trim (Lollipopping) in the main tent. Removing the weak lower growth ensures the plants divert 100% of their energy to the top sites. Combined with regular defoliation, airflow through the ScrOG net is top-tier. Canopy Height: Total plant height is sitting right around 1.40 m (including our 30–35 cm pots). Light Distance: The lights are dialed in at roughly 40 cm from the canopy. Strains Progress 🌿 High Society: Absolute monster growth! It has reached impressive height and filled its section of the ScrOG screen completely. Zupernova: Catching up nicely, building compact and dense bud sites across the screen. Side Tent (Mothers): In the neighboring tent, the two mother plants are chilling under reduced light, growing slowly and steadily at a manageable pace. Feeding & Watering 💧 Water consumption has surged massively this week—the plants are drinking non-stop! Total Volume: We are currently going through roughly 100 Liters of plain water per week, plus an additional 20 to 40 Liters (2–4 10L watering cans) mixed with nutrients. pH & Stability: After a short temporary fix with citric acid (which drifted up to pH 7.5 after settling), we are back to a rock-solid, stable setup using phosphoric acid to keep our water dialed in at a steady pH 6.5. Nutrient Mix: The flowering tents are receiving Hesi Bloom Complex, Root Complex, and SuperFit to keep up with the heavy demand during this key phase. Everything is primed for the buds to stack up over the coming weeks! Stay tuned and see you all next week! 🚀

A bit more defoliation and now she seems ready to go for the final weeks and ripping time. She is drinking a lot now so it seems we have 2 weeks or more to go, slow but she is turning fine. She has right now a funky smell of caramel and herbs and will be a fine germ after harvesting that's for sure!

In

2 weeks there are ready

This week brought a little bit of action on the pest management front. I discovered some spider mites on the clover growing underneath the plant, so the clover got a much-needed haircut. I immediately scanned the cannabis leaves with my microscope to check for trouble. Thankfully, I couldn’t find any live pests or the typical webbing on the plant itself, but knowing they were nearby, I wanted to play it safe. I sprayed both the clover and the cannabis leaves with a hydrogen peroxide solution, carefully avoiding the buds as much as possible. A day later, I followed up by treating the soil and the remaining clover with a neem oil solution. Aside from that minor skirmish, the plant is still making a very strong, very good impression and looks super healthy overall. Now it's just a matter of keeping a close eye on her to see if those little critters try to make a comeback, but for now, everything is looking solid!

Wow, another week done. It's become an absolute jungle in my greenhouse. A few of the GG4/Sherbets tops had to be mainlined since they're hitting the top of the greenhouse at 7ft8in tall. The smell is definitely getting stronger every day and it goes from super pungent, to sweet, to almost tropical. They're all still looking nice and healthy. The Athena Blended Line works wonders with my well water as the plants couldn't be happier. All in all Happy Growing.
