Week just starting off and the one baby has still not broken thru so I take matters into my own hands and attempt emergency surgery!!! I sanitized a Raw loader stick and gently pulled the sprout up. It laid over after and I'm going to give it a few hours before I try to put something to hold it up if it doesn't manage to orient properly. Any advice would be appreciated, This week just started so will edit it throughout the week.. 11/18 Transplanted into 1ga pots and gave first n00tz FF 3tsp/GA Big Bloom. 11/19 Ok so my humidy has been plumiting to 33-36% so I tried putting a rag over a fan, putting a rag in a bowl over the inlet and nothing helped so I went to amazon and bought this! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08GQZDS9J It has a gallon or so tank and a humidity sensor so it cycles to maintain humidity. 11/20 Anyways humidifier shows up today and I kicked it up to 80% and its about 70% after 4 hours.. I'll drop it down once the babies get to growing a bit more. I'm actually worried I transplanted too soon. Shout out to my boy Jeff! And a smaller shout out to James! 11/22 So no real changes the last few days, the plants still aren't thirsty so holding off on that. I did rearrange grow tent to allow me to set up a camera to capture time lapse of the process and I had to get some power to it so it doesn't cut off when the lights go out hehe. I mean all is well I guess, I'm still concerned bout my little plants and the one with the crooked stem. Although I'm thinking the more I keep hands off right now the better chance they'll have! Wish me (and my babies) luck! 11/24 So everything looks smooth, today I uploaded a time lapse of the last couple days which if you speed thru it can see movement of the plants which is cool, but I'm stressing that my 3 way meter isn't correct. Its reading like 6-7 on moisture scale after about 7 days of being on the same water/feeding. I am anxious to water again but don't want to overwater...I mean I do feel some moistness if I press down on the soil. I'm quickly learning this is a great means to work on your patience!!! Oh and I'm rapidly losing hope for the bent girl, so sad.

I started with 1L of tap water left uncovered 24hrs for evaporation of chlorides. I then added formulex alongside Regen (drop for drop) until e.c. reads 0.4, and then Ph to 6.3. Coming along nicely nothing to majot to comment on :)

These GroBuckets are pretty awesome. I'm barely having to do anything but keep the reservoir full and LST a bit.

Missed last week so the measurements for their feeding was for 8 weeks this week they got PH water only 3 liters each. These girls are in their final stretch they will get one more feeding and then start the flush. They get fed or watered every 4 days as needed. Ultimate #3 which has been the dwarf since the beginning has wind burn from the fan had to readjust the fan and move the lights up so the other two don’t get fried. They are looking and smelling good and their buds are coming together nicely. As with the last batch of Ultimates they aren’t sticky yet they seem to wait to really develop that stickiness until just before harvest.

Heeey! 👋 Here's the third week of flower or the 2nd with actually visible buds! And some have grown quite a lot in such little time, nice! 😁 And the plant stretched a lot too! Sooo, everything is going well, or it seems that way! If anything what's happening is that I'm still taking too long to water my plants (but they do recover fast!) 😖 and I'm also giving them all the proper nutrients they need (I was missing one last week, oops!). I also defoliated my babies this week. Hopefully the lower buds will thank me later! 😃 I'd like to add as well that all the previous issues that were visible on Matcha seem to be gone, which is good! Her leaves are healthier (a little too dark maybe) and there is no more "tigering" in her leafs! Once both stop growing I'll start giving them the rest of the nutrients to fatten up the buds, but I'll let you all know before I do it! Thanks for reading and I hope you all enjoy the photos!

🌿 Week 2 Flower – Super Silver Haze Queens by Zamnesia Two weeks into flower, and the Super Silver Haze girls are showing us why they carry the weight of legend. Despite a week where photos were few, the video walkthrough tells the story: the tent is alive, the room is humming, and the girls are thriving. Their transition into bloom is unmistakable, pistils, morphology shifts, and that unmistakable “flowering energy” filling the air. ✨ Recap of the Journey So Far From the start, these seeds germinated strong, three for three. Early veg was compact and stable, surprisingly stress-free for haze genetics. Transplanting into 11L Zamnesia fabric pots with a tailored Aptus soil mix gave roots the space and nutrients to explode. Week after week, they’ve grown strong under a spectrum of full power LEDs, with an environment tuned by hand and tech alike. Now in flower, they carry the old-school spirit of Super Silver Haze, a strain with cups, history, and heavy nostalgia, now represented by Zamnesia, but forever rooted in the haze heritage. This isn’t just another grow. It’s a living tribute. 🌱 Feeding Recipe This Week The girls are feeling the switch from Start Booster to Top Booster (0.25 ml/L), and the difference shows. Morphology is shifting beautifully. On top of that, we’re layering in some Plagron support — a little experiment to push the expression further: • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml/L • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml/L • Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml/L • Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml/L • Aptus Top Booster – 0.25 ml/L The Aptus All-In-One Liquid is staying aside for now, since the pellets in the soil are still doing their job beautifully. EC in the soil is ~2.0, with incoming solution at ~0.6. pH around 6.1. Watering is based on substrate moisture, waiting until ~19–20% dryness before irrigation. Average uptake: 1.5–2L per day. 🌡️ Environmental Conditions • Room Temp: Peaks up to 34°C (a bit higher than ideal, AC unit arriving soon!) • Humidity: 50–70% depending on the day • VPD: ~1.8–1.9 (not perfect, but plants are handling it well) • CO₂: ~700 ppm • Soil Temp: 25°C • PPFD: 760–780 μmol/m²/s across canopy zones ⚙️ Gear & Ecosystem The grow room is evolving into a proper ecosystem: • Lights: • ThinkGrow Model on and ICL-300 LEDs • Future of Grow Black Series 600W • Lumatek Zeus Compact Pro 465W Together delivering a full, balanced spectrum across the 8x8 tent. • Airflow & Extraction: • 2 × 6-inch extractors (Trolmaster Aerofan + Spider Farmer) with carbon filters. • Trolmaster unit fully integrated, Spider Farmer on its GGS controller. • Automation: • The Trolmaster WCS substrate sensor is a game-changer — giving live readings of soil EC, pH, and moisture. • Tent-X brain keeps everything connected, making hand-watering smarter and data-driven. 🌼 The Girls This Week Compact, stable, symmetrical, both phenos are tracking almost identically. Pistils are pushing fast, leaves are deep green, internodes are filling with energy. It feels like they’re already a week ahead, and yet, they’re right on schedule. 🐝 A Moment for the Bees This week, alongside the plants, we pause to thank the bees. A photo of one busy bee pollinating a flower reminds us: without these tiny workers, there would be no flowers, no fruits, no life as we know it. In the fairytale of the growroom, the lights are the sun, the soil is the earth, and the bees are the quiet guardians of the cycle. May we never forget how important they are. 🙏 Closing Thoughts Week 2 flower, and already the tent is bursting with energy. Genetics this stable, this historic, deserve respect. The environment isn’t perfect, temps and humidity will improve once the AC kicks in, but the girls don’t seem to mind. They’re thriving, and the journey is only just beginning. To the growers, the sponsors, the community, the lovers and the haters alike — thank you. You make the journey worth sharing.

With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 P.S.- Why These Plagron Additives? – A Deep Dive I’ve decided to complement the Aptus base with three Plagron boosters. Each one has its own role in the flowering process, and together they form a very balanced support system for the Mango Kush ladies. 🌸 Power Buds (1 ml/L) • Purpose: Early flowering stimulator • What it does: Power Buds encourages the plant to initiate bud development faster. It shortens the “transition phase” from veg into bloom, helping flowers form sooner and more consistently across the canopy. • Why now: We’re in Week 2 Flower, the exact point where we want to signal the plants: “It’s time to build flowers.” Power Buds sends that hormonal nudge. ⸻ 🍯 Sugar Royal (1 ml/L) • Purpose: Enhances resin, aroma, and stress resistance • What it does: Sugar Royal contains amino acids that stimulate the plant to produce more chlorophyll and secondary metabolites. In plain terms: richer terpene profile, stickier resin, stronger smell, deeper taste. • Extra benefit: It also reduces stress from heat or drought, very useful right now since our temps have been spiking up to 34°C. • Why now: As stretch continues, plants need to stay strong and not waste energy on stress. Sugar Royal helps them thrive despite less-than-ideal VPD. ⸻ 💎 Green Sensation (1 ml/L) • Purpose: All-in-one bloom enhancer for the second half of flower • What it does: Green Sensation is a powerful 4-in-1 booster that improves: • Flowering: denser, heavier buds • Resin production: frostier flowers • Nutrient uptake: more efficient feeding • Soil health: stimulates beneficial microbial activity • Why now: Even though it shines brightest in late flower, starting early allows the soil ecosystem and plant metabolism to adapt gradually. By the time we hit peak bloom, the system is fully primed. ⸻ 🌱 How They Work Together • Power Buds → Kickstarts flower sites • Sugar Royal → Enhances resilience + resin quality • Green Sensation → Boosts density and overall flower performance The trio works like a team of specialists: one accelerates the start, one polishes the quality, and one pushes yield potential. Combined with the Aptus base (Regulator for strength, CalMag Boost for structure, Top Booster for bloom push), it’s a balanced, experimental, but very promising recipe. 💚 Growers love to all 💚

So, jetzt endet mein Grow hier mit. Mein erster Grow jemals und noch dazu meine erste Automatic. Die Sorte Royal Bluematic war nicht unbedingt schwer anzubauen, sie hatte lediglich hier und da mal ein paar kleine Punkte von irgendwelchen Viechern, sonst nie Beschwerden gehabt. Würde nicht behaupten, dass die Pflanze extrem schwer anzubauen war aber auch nicht extrem leicht, allgemein kann ich das schlecht beurteilen, da es ja mein erster Grow war. Der Anbau war trotzdem recht einfach. Man sollte sie auf jeden Fall nicht hoher Luftfeuchtigkeit aussetzen, da meine zweite Bluematic ein paar Schimmel Stellen hatte, die hier zum Glück nicht. Im Endeffekt habe ich nicht viel gemacht, außer sie mal zu gießen, zu düngen und zu beschneiden. Ich bin mit 37g trockene Ernte rausgekommen. Hätte gedacht es ist deutlich weniger, bin aber sehr zufrieden ☺️ (Beim Nass Gewicht nur geschätzt, hab es nicht gewogen).

It's now over the end of week 13. These pictures are about 2 days past a week. So I will upload next step in about 5 days. Things are smelling great and nugs are getting dense. Colors are coming in purples on the fade, looks nice. Trichomes are milky on most but still some clear, not much amber. Will be waiting likely another week or 2 even to see what happens. So far these have been champs, honestly been a pleasure to work with. Though I think the plants might not agree! Even with the mishaps we got some good bud going and some great crystal coverage. Excited to see the drying and product. Cheers everyone, happy growing.

01/08/18 - I fed them all 1 litre each, one of them seems to be praying up but the other two Seem a little bit droopy still. 02/08/18 - #3 is praying like usual and the other two are getting better Day by day I’m going to be giving them another feeding tomorrow, I have seen roots stretching out to the sides of the pots so I might saturate the whole pot. 04/08/18 - horrible sight today looks like rusty cracks in some leaves , not got a clue what this. 05/08/18 - browning has continued since last night and it’s all on the new leafs not the older ones. i fed them without any calmag , so I think it could be a deficiency of some sort (cal/mag).the mad thing is, it’s only two of the girls, one of them is completely fine nice green leaves not yellow marks that turn orange/brown. It definitely has nothing to do with my ph or all three girls would be showing some symptoms seeing as they all get fed with the same soloution.✌️🏻 07/08/18 - everything’s cleared up their was slight nute burn in the process but everything seems a lot better so I decided to start LST. all the new leaves are the colour they should be with no nute burns or calcium deficiency 🙏🏻

Week 3-Day 21 of flower. These ladies have been on autopilot. The environment is controlled, we have been having some temp and RH swings, but the equipment is dialed in. I have a portable AC when it is humid and hot, only needs to run for 15 minutes from time to time to keep the lung room/tent at the perfect temps. I can’t say enough how important it is to test, test and dial in your environment. I can already see big advancements in my photo periods from when I started, to today just a 1 1/2 years later. Having your environment as close to perfect as you can, can compensate for A LOT of rookie Mistakes 🤓 Anyways, still keeping to Feed, Feed, water schedule, despite the tip burn, I’ve dialed it back to about 900 ppm and seeing how the plant reacts. Did a light defoliation, which will probably be the last one. Seems like all I am doing at this point is watching and watering. Happy Growing Folks 🇨🇦❤️🌱😎💨

Well this one is also speeding along at a rapid rate! It's getting close. I'm very excited to see what she weighs as you can clearly see I had to add a rope to keep the cola from falling over. Hope you enjoy & check back again next week! Thanks for taking a look at this diary!
