I'd like to title this Diary entry Screw You Advanced Nutrients. 7th week done.. 3 weeksish left on the Lsd-25 and 4 weeksish on the purple Lemonade.. Gonna be some chunky mothers. Purple coming up everywhere, pretty colours. Oh yes we are very pleased so end of 7th week for these ladies and stretching has stopped thank goodness and we are now into bud building/mass building. The two lsd-25 plants definitely went into full flower "mode" sooner. The Colorful lady seems to have benn mass building all week. Probably gonna have different harvest windows on these ladies. Was hoping for same time but it's okay we are creative and will figure a way ahead. There is some CO2 being fed in the tent. With a smaller co2 bucket. We will be trying out a new one for us and it is a product called dense from green planet. We will using dense when the regular reservoir change is suppose to happen. Before we feed only Dense we will be prepping the ladies with an extra feeding of GP3 micro. Buffering the leaves and prepping the uptake for the feeding. So with dense there will be only a feed of Dense with UC roots and ph down. The formula of dense is 0-0-62 so this is a very concentrated Potash supplement. We will be using 1/2 recommended doses as per our system and it's requirements. This will run for 4-5 days and significantly increase the Amount of Potash in the Plant fear not.. The next 2-3 days will run with just phed water then onto P-k spiking with Bloom Booster alone. At this stage Massive Bloom formulation would be great as well but we wanna cut out our nitros while still have some micros.. So we will feed smaller amounts of GP3 Micro with Powdered bloom booster, rezin and liquid weight. Right up until we do a 3 day flush before harvest. Nutrients and Light is the idea so we will see turn outs and everything. If you are wondering what is the difference between the plants and the lady on the left looks so burnt. Left side only fed Flora Series w/ Advanced Nutrients supplements the plants on the right side is fed only Flora Series with Green planet supplements. The nutrient formulas provided in this diary are for right plants only. We can not express the amount of disgust we feel towards Advanced Nutrients as we spent good money on their product and feel genuinely ripped off. The words smelly disgusting mess describe what happened when we added big bud to left side. Bottle smells fine but the Formula is obviously way off as we did not have issues like this when using it the first dozen or so times. We will be using chemical nutrients and powders for life now and will not use Advanced Nutrients again or recommend it for anyone. The Organic Big Bud Formula is no good for hydroponic growing and they obviously rushed it to market to make money..... We really wanted to finish with Advanced Nutrients being the supplement on the left side but we can not. The product itself has basically made it impossible to continue confidently using any Advanced Nutrients labeled as both Organic and Safe for hydroponics. The proof is in the pudding and so glad and happy really now that we are using Green Planet and continue on this trend of cleaner greener growing and a more intelligent approach. On a further note just to go a bit further Bud Candy for example contains sugars that are basically present in Black Molasses. So what they've basically done is filtered and bleached Black Molasses and watered it down and are selling it to us at around 40 bucks a litre. Bunch of crooks Screw you Advanced Nutrients.

The High intensity was to strong (clearly my fault) in the beginning which stunted her overall stretch, she however still delivered super dense, terpene and trichome loaded buds.

Ok start of week 5, as stated in the video I finally got on top of the ph drop. After some research I found that dwc systems can have 2 problems that can create this problem. One is the air it pulls in is to rich in co2 and basically creates acidic resovour but since I have been changing the system weekly I didn’t feel this was my problem. The other reason could be too low ec for the plants. Basically every plant has a natural ec lvl and if the nutrients are below that of the plant it can create an inbalance that leads to ph drop. I upped my nutrients from 1200 to 1400 and since I done that my ph has stayed stable at 5.8. Also had signs of slight light burn so lifted the light. So on we go learning this system day by day. Will say I have seen some great explosive growth since it’s all been stabilised.

Wk10 11/10/21: Day 64. 💧I have no idea what I should do. Should I chop it now, and use it to compare my next grow to, or wait another week and then chop? I think I'll let the pot dry out one more time, and then cut it down. Might as well have a baseline to go by. With plenty of cloudy trichomes, it's likely a good time to come down anyhow. Everyday I see more and more pistils dying back, but also a bunch of new hairs being pushed out, so it's confusing. I have a feeling that it's going to start foxtailing if I let it go much longer. Right now, buds are still very tight. If I do anything else before harvest, it will be a wet trim of most leaves. 11/11/21: Day 65. Pot is a bit lighter today, but not enough for me to say it's time. I've never been one to harvest just before the lights come on, and just chop it down whenever I felt like it, and had the time. I'm not sure if I will wait until early morning, or just go with what I've always done. I really don't feel like waking up at 4:30 and making a bunch of noise. I should really change my lighting schedule to make that easier, but I would be very unhappy if I couldn't check on, and take care of my plants during the morning and throughout the early afternoon. My thoughts on the plant came true. I opened the tent today, and saw some foxtails forming. Right now it's alright, as it's just a bit more bud to smoke, but if I left it to go for the entire rest of the week, it would definitely look like it had some lumps. So, that means it's time to wet trim, then chop down and hang it. Thankfully I have a small empty tent that I can use for drying. I have a fan in there still, so the air will be moving. Cannot wait to give this a test. 11/12/21: Day 66. 🌲Pot is definitely light enough to harvest today. As much as I'd like this to be my first dark harvest (chop 1 hour before light, or 5 hours after dark), I'll just stick with my usual plan and chop it down later, once I've taken care of a few other small things. I can see even more foxtails forming, and the old ones are now very prominent. I know there are several reasons for that to happen, with one being genetically predispositioned to growing them, but this is not likely the case. They are likely caused by my movent of the plant mich closer to the light, technically just a smidge too close. Oh well, I don't mind a few buds messed up, just as long as it's not the entire plant. Plant is now hanging inside the upstairs tent with a fan for air circulation. I will monitor it's weight loss every two days, and then jar and cure some remaining buds for approximately 4 weeks in my auto cure. It may not last that long, but I'm going to try. I will do my best to keep the main cola separate and intact for a future session. Chop: 88.1g or 3.11oz 11/14/21: Day 68. 35.5g or 1.14 oz 11/15/21: Day 68. Total dry: 20.7g. Bud is actually quite crumbly, so I'm sure once its brought back up to the 64% the Integra pack provides, it will have a better weight. Some smaller buds were smoked for testing, while a good portion is in the small auto cure, where it shall hopefully remain for the next 4 weeks. Updates will be provided once buds are cured for a true smoke report. End Diary As you can see, the plant did not finish on a desired colour. I do not mean a dark purple, but a high level of yellowing in the leaves. It started early in the flowering process, and continued to get worse. The plant however, persevered and finished strong. Even though the plant did not finish up looking like an ideal specimen, it allowed me to learn a lot about the genetics, and how to work with the dry amendments with this strain. Next round will be mich better, I guarantee. Don't believe me! Just watch! We will see it together.

Nachdem ich ein paar Triebe aus Versehen abbrach, lies ich vergangene Woche die Pflanzen in ruhe. Mittlerweile war alles zugewuchert, weshalb ich mich dazu entschloss, einige Blätter zu entfernen und mit etwas LST zu starten um die Pflanzen auf das kommende SCROG´ing vorzubereiten

bueno se hizo una por primera vez una cosecha por partes, como indicamos en el post anterior, se cosecho los cogollos donde la luz pegaba mas al parecer y estaban mas desarrollados, la cosecha fue con tricomas blancos tendiendo a transparentes con pocos ambar, en opinion ya luego de una semanas y una segunda cosecha, es que cosechamos pronto por temor al pasarnos al ser primera vez, entonces posiblemente nos apresuramos un poco ligeramente o confundimos los tricomas tendiendo a ser transparente por los blancos que es lo que indica la teoria el punto de corte, pero no nso quejamos quedo genial! subiremos el segundo punto de corte luego de 2 semanas . LAS ULTIMAS FOTOS LAS DE LAS 2 SEMANAS MAS 2DO CORTE.

Things have really begun to take off now. The two toofless aliens are pushing 2 foot tall and have begun their apical cola growth. Side branches are starting to catch up with the tops and flowering mode is in full effect. The two alien vs triangle, one shorter and bushier the other taller bud still wide, have almost begun apical cola blossom and sitting around a foot and foot and a half. Excited to see their progress over this next week as they begin blooming more heavily. Have added snow storm and carbo load to my arsenal and the combo alone in a airated tank will produce bacterial growth with a clear tea brew! Love it, will use this for pre flush watering from now on with a little molasses i can tell it will work wonders!

Awesome Week💚 Following some great discussions with more experienced growers, I really think we got things back on track! 🙏 To those Growmies I really raised the ppm this week we topped out around 630 PPM This was in an attempt to balance out some nutrition issues. I think the ladies have responded very well. 😃🌱💪 Raised the light up to 24in as well a few days later after seeing positive changes due to feeding regiment. Started preflowering, showing pistols on all plants. Counting down these last 7-8 weeks when the ladies beauty comes out 🤩 Will update throughout the week with photos and videos. Happy Growing! 🤙💚💪🌱😎🌱💪💚🤙

Hey everyone 🙂. Flowering day 1 Today the time was changed to 12/12 hours. Actually, I only count the flowering days from the correct flowering, for the sake of simplicity I will count the days from the position :-). Flowering day 2 Today both were poured with 1 L each and checked for their health. Flowering day 3 Today the humidifier was filled and both plants were sprayed with Canna Cure. They were also checked for their health as they did every day. Flowering day 4 Today the whole tent was cleaned. Flowering day 5 The humidifier was filled again and the plants were sprayed. Flowering day 6 Today both were poured with 0.6 L and checked for health. Flowering day 7 End of the week 😄. Both were checked for health. I hope you have a lot of fun with the update, stay healthy and let it grow 🙏🏻🌿 You can buy this Strain at : https://sweetseeds.es/de/cream-caramel/ Type: Cream Caramel ☝️🏼 Genetics: Blue Black x Maple Leaf Indica x White Rhino 👍 Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow Led Quantum Board 100 W 💡 Bloom Lamp : 2 x Todogrow Led Cxb 3590 COB 3500 K 205W 💡💡☝️🏼 Soil : Canna Coco Professional + ☝️🏼 Fertilizer: Green House Powder Feeding ☝️🏼🌱 Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.

🌿 Week 4 – Vegetative Stage – Super Silver Haze (Zamnesia Seeds) Grower: Dog Doctor Strain: Super Silver Haze Breeder: Zamnesia Seeds Stage: Week 4 Veg Phenotypes: SSH #1 & SSH #2 (Flower-bound) Tent: 8x8 Shared Grow Space Lighting: • Future Of Grow – Black Series 600W • ThinkGrow – Model One LED Control System: TrolMaster Hydro-X and Tent-X Watering: Hand Watering Pot Size: 11L Fabric Pots CO₂: 632 ppm Day Temp: 27°C Night Temp: 25°C Humidity: 57.4% Water Mix pH: 5.83 EC: 1.01 Water Temp: 18.5°C ⸻ 💚 Week 4 – Settling, Stretching, Syncing Four weeks in, and both SSH #1 and SSH #2 are looking incredible compact, symmetrical, and showing zero signs of stress from last week’s transplant. Honestly? We expected at least a little pushback. These are Hazes, after all. You prepare for stretch, for sass, for slow adaptation. But… not this time. They slipped into their 11L fabric pots like they were born there. They’re reaching 7th leaf nodes now, with tight internodal spacing and structure so dense you’d swear they were hybrids bred for micro-grows. And hey, we know veg structure doesn’t dictate flower outcome. These could still blow up, stretch to the sky, and become full-on jungle queens. But for now? We’re appreciating the compact calm before the flower storm. ⸻ 🌬️ The Shared Tent Ecosystem Our 8x8 tent is currently split into two zones: • Zone 1: ThinkGrow Model One LEDs, driven by TrolMaster • Zone 2: F.O.G. Black Series 600W LEDs, also under TrolMaster The environment is fully monitored, precisely tuned, and stabilized for the transitional weeks ahead. With 632 ppm CO₂, 27°C daytime temps, and stable humidity, everything is in that sweet pre-flip zone. We’re hand-watering still, listening to the soil, watching for response, and matching volume to the plant’s breath. ⸻ Feed & Medium – Stability Over Change Same soil. Same nutrient profile. Still working beautifully. No need to tweak what’s working. Feed Mix (per liter): • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml • Aptus All-In-One Liquid – 1 ml • Aptus Start Booster – 0.25 ml Roots have claimed their territory. Shoots are responding with balanced, symmetrical growth. ⸻ 🧠 Bro Talk: Expecting the Unexpected Let’s be real, when you grow Super Silver Haze, you kind of expect drama. Maybe a little leaf curl, maybe a delay in root adaptation, maybe explosive node stretch in week 2 post-transplant. But… nope. These girls are calm, confident, even a little reserved. Bro-to-bro? It’s almost suspicious. 😂 It’s a reminder that expectations don’t grow plants. Observation does. We’re staying ready for anything as flower time approaches. ⸻ ❌ What This Week Isn’t: • Not a week for heavy defoliation • Not a training week — their shape is too compact • Not a time to switch formulas — they’re loving it ⸻ ✅ What This Week Is: • A final week of vegetative calm • A snapshot of stability before the flip • A week to appreciate healthy, non-eventful, smooth development ⸻ 🌸 The Flip Is Near Next week we’ll likely flip to 13/11 — not just because they’re ready, but because space is limited. These two girls are sharing a tent with a full house of other cultivars, and it’s getting cozy. We’re preparing now: • Light timers prepped • Trellis nets on standby • TrolMaster thresholds tuned for night temp and humidity shifts They’ve had their moment of calm. Soon they’ll bloom. And that’s when the real Super Silver story begins. ⸻ 📲 Follow the Flower Journey We’ll be tracking every step, every change, every beautiful chaos as they enter the flowering phase. If you’re just joining us: • GrowDiaries: https://growdiaries.com/grower/dogdoctorofficial • Instagram: @DogDoctorOfficial • YouTube: Dog Doctor official ⸻ ⚙️ Grow Gear Snapshot • Lights: Future of Grow, ThinkGrow LEDs • Control System: TrolMaster Hydro-X and Tent-X • Nutrients: Aptus Holland • Pots & Substrate: Zamnesia Fabric Pots • Airflow: Spider Farmer & TrolMaster 6-inch Carbon Filter Fans • Storage: Grove Bags ( latter but important ) ⸻ There’s beauty in these weeks where “nothing happens.” Because in truth, everything is happening — under the soil, inside the plant, inside the plan. This is Super Silver Haze in its pre-bloom prime. Let’s flip soon and let her write the next chapter herself. 💚 Love to the growers, the dreamers, the students, and the believers.

Day 14. Beautiful trileaf plant. Not quite ready for LST. Maybe tomorrow. Day 15. Bent over nicely for me. This plant is gonna be a beast.
