Happy about this harvest. Very strong orange citrus aroma with some dense buds along with it. Definitely a sativa dominant bud, with a smooth smoke. Have experimenting on self pollinating and tried it on one particular bud on this plant, and i have to say, it has worked! One seed has been found and is directly been placed in soil 3 days ago. Have not seen any faces submerged yet but hopefully fat monkey #2 is on the way soon with some new growing techniques 😏

Ladies and Gentlemen we are back!! This project started last Sunday an Germination week was a success for these Purple punch’s an Forbiddin Runtz from Fastbuds 😍! I went with my paper towel method, sprayed down paper towel with pure water, folded it up inside sandwich bag un seeled in a dark cupboard. Checked everyday to make sure paper towel was still moist and on 3rd day we had all 6 pop open! I planted them Wednesday and all 6 popped up in soil on Friday in my Ac Infinity pots using Fox Farms Happy Frog soil! Tomorrow we will give them a small dose of nutrients, will be doing nutes on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays only rest get pure water! Well y’all let’s have another great week , keep them eyes peeled for next weeks photos an pics !!

Na última semana os pistilos começaram a ficar alaranjados, os buds engordaram pouco, espero que nos próximos dias eles finalizem bem gordos! Darei a ela fertilizante por mais uma semana e depois flush por outra semana, creio que daqui uns 20-25 dias estarei colhendo!

Things really looking good this week did a major defoliation to help with light penetration. Backed off of the Big Bloom because I noticed the tips of some of the leaves were burning. Buds are now starting to form nicely. Very little smell still. Since this is my first inside grow with autos I would love to hear some feedback from some more experienced growers.

What a great week it’s been!today is day 65 from seed!! One of the Forbiddin Runtz got it’s last feeding on Friday and will get flushed for 2 weeks and will be ready for dry and cure! The rest will still remain getting same dose of nutes the rest of this week and most likely into the next! This batch felt like it went so quick ! Hope you all enjoy an watch out for next week !

Week begins 8/12 LAST FEED 2 gallons 8/12 AFTER A RAINING NIGHT. 8/13 I've found what appears to be septoria on a couple plants. Looks like the weather will be OK tonight so I can apply organocide or something similar before dark. I've seen random pillar damage so this will be a two-for. I also should move the middle plant back and utilize my space more. Ph seems on point around 7.3. Higher in some places of the soil. I've noticed what looks like root issues on my blueberry. Winds were horrible yesterday and this plant doesnt hace a vertical trellis for support. Stem was pretty wobbly for a while but the plant seems to be growing fine. Either that or a jpn beetle munched the top of a bud. That's probably what happened. It was in the low 50's this morning. That's a 40 degree temperature swing in just a few days. This grow season has been the most challenging I've faced. Of course it had to happen when personal, family, and health concerns rear their head. Oh well. I can only do my best. 8/14 Went over at 5am to apply organocide to treat WPM or septoria as well as insecticide for pillars. I got there and one of my healthiest plants had been turning a little lime green now it was drooped over just like the larger GDP. This one is a 9lb kush though and they were doing good. Now it looks like it's dead over night. Maybe it's that liquid kool bloom. The soil seemed dry so I watered the plants. It MIGHT have picked ok a little. I'll have to check tonight. If not something is going on at night or in the rootzone and I really don't know what the fuck is going on. I will post updates and check later tonight. Damn. This has been a real challenging year. 8/15 That plant might be overwatered or not be draining correctly. At least I was able to get underneath it and the ground was dry. It was also hard packed dirt so elevating the bag may help. I'm going to wait a few days and see if things improve. This really sucks. I'm getting that defeated feeling. I need to get out of it though as I'm starting to see flower begin. The blueberry is probably the farthest along. I need to remember to take pictures of the newly developing flowers. Granted I've had numerous medical and other issues that have taken me off my game but losing two plants in one year is pretty shitty. I was able to fix things with COVID last year or the year before so I hope I can at least save this 9lb kush plant. If I lose this plant too it will be a substantial amount of cannabis lost. I need to rearrange my cage as well to make use of the extra space. Maybe I could've overwatered that plant that had been in the rain for a long time. I need to get my water routine down pat instead of doing the "lift the pot" method I have been doing. I went to several different commercial growers and got a bunch of crazy answers. Only time will tell. Last night I finished the organocide application on all the other plants except for the two babies and the drooped 9lb kush. Don't want to stress it further. I'll see how it goes. 8/16 Despite the soil drying out the newest disaster (my 9lb kush) is much worse with chlorosis killing leaves. Stalks and branches seem good. Soil smells musty and a little wetter than the rest. It was roofed to the ground slightly. NO water underneath. I stuck my hand in the bag from a bunch of angles. It's like the same thing that happened with the other one. I added to my surveillance. I also smell bleech and I hace an idea this might not be my doing at all. I can't be detailed but I'll find out one way or another. UPDATE. Went back over after the dentist and plants were dry as a fucking bone and droopy. I mixed up five gallons of phed water and watered everything. Even the 9lb kush that is pretty much dead. The soil was dry though. Everyone is saying overwater but I really doubt that. We had some massive rainstorms bur still. I need to review a game cam I have because unfortunately my cams went on the frits for a couple days (and the dogs went wild during that time around midnight) couple nights in a row. I fucking smell bleech. I'm a good dude and don't really have any enemies but we'll see what the game cam pulls up. 8/17 Of course we are getting a shit ton of rain. I watered yestetday because everything was dry as a bone I watched yesterday as my blueberry was almost horizontal due to the wind. I added several supports to every branch and a few more up the main stalk. That may be what has been happening. The wind blowing so hard it separates the stalk from the roots. My problems started after I took my windbreaker tarp down. I put it back up for this storm. Or maybe it's just root rot. I dont fucking know. I cut all the dead stuff off the 9lb kush thats pretty mucb dead. Its holding on though. I probably shouldnt have watered that but it seemed bone dry. Maybe further down was wet. I dont know. Extra cams are up. I didn't smell that chemical bleachy smell today so it's probably in my head. I have better peace of mind with the night cams up though.and the dogs though. I've had a visitor this year but he left very quickly. 8/18 We got a shit ton of rain last night. No damage though. I spent what time I had in the garden working on the 9lb kush that looked like it was dieing. I'm not giving up on this one so easy. It seems to want to hold on. Despite the severely overwatered medium (due to this storm) I cam see new growth that looks healthy. The branches also seem stronger. I'm cautiously optimistic. The other one straight up died. So I might be able to salvage this. I'll go over later today and check on it. I debated putting it inside for the storm bur I figured I'd let the rain leech out anything in the medium in case it's locked out or something. At least I've got a couple real healthy ones this year. That NYCSA is amazing. That's a strain I'll probably grow again. Resilient as all all. Vigorous and doesn't seem impacted by things like WPM or other fungal ok infections or diseases like some other strains. I got a great recommendation from my buddy to use pots all the same size. It makes things easier watering. I just used what I had this year. I had bigger pots so I wanted to fill them. That tarp being up I think greatly helped with the wind. It's down now so things cam dry out. Still raining bit not yard and no wind. I think that may have played a large role in killing the 7ft GDP. Wind ripping the stalk away from the roots. Or it could've been a million other things. I'll never know. I do know that I have a better mindset, a great set of resources and I'm learning something new every year. If I can br8ng this plant back to life I'm going to be very proud of myself.....and her. Oh and I'm going to buy new tiger bloom. I'll start beasty bloom (hesitant as it has caused lockout in the past) as it goes better with my other nutes than the liquid kool bloom. Plus I started getting portables around tge time I used the liquid kool bloom. That being said, after two weeks I can see buds where there weren't before so I don't know. Next year I'm using seeds and I'm doing things different. I'm STRONGLY considering rapacaps idea about adding a removable roof for flower. The more I think about it tge better it sounds. That and putting wheels on pallets (buddy suggestion) and I could attach my supports directly to the pallet. I've got a lot of work to do that's for sure. Plants look healthy but I needvto him them again with organocide to fight any fungal stuff or pillars that might be hiding.

🌿 Super Silver Haze – Harvest Report (Zamnesia Seeds) Grower: Dog Doctor Strain: Super Silver Haze Breeder: Zamnesia Seeds Lights: Future of Grow Black Series 600W | ThinkGrow ICL-300 | Lumatek Zeus 465 Compact Pro Control System: TrolMaster Hydro-X Ecosystem Medium: Custom Super Soil Mix with Aptus Holland Amendments Environment: 8x8 Shared Tent | Day Temp 29.6°C | RH 67% | CO₂ 700 ppm ✨ From Seed to Soul – A Legendary Journey What a ride this one was. From the first spark of life in the Cannakan to the final aromatic breath from the Groove Bags, this Super Silver Haze journey was everything—a perfect reflection of the plant herself: bright, strong, unpredictable, and utterly timeless. Three seeds were germinated — all three came out strong, though one was shy. From there, two phenos took the lead, both with stunning vigor, hybrid leaves, and perfectly compact growth. Throughout veg and flower, they mirrored each other so closely it felt like growing twins. There were highs — lush foliage, incredible root growth, and perfect structure — and there were lows — a bout of bud rot, handled quickly and carefully. But like in life, every setback was a lesson. The environment taught us, the plants guided us, and we adapted. 💧 Feeding & Soil The foundation of this run was a custom super soil charged with Aptus Holland amendments — Mycor-Mix, Micro-Mix, and Substrate Buffer Powder. Throughout veg and early flower, the girls enjoyed a balanced routine of: Aptus Regulator – For strength & stress control Aptus CalMag Boost – Supporting cell structure Plagron Power Buds, Sugar Royal & Green Sensation – Enhancing bloom, resin & sweetness Aptus All-in-One Liquid & Top Booster – Brought in at key stages for balance and final push By the final weeks, we tapered down to pure water — a gentle flush that allowed the plant to use her own reserves. This stage is vital; it purifies the flavor, softens the smoke, and reveals the true essence of the strain. 🌬️ The Harvest The girls were harvested whole and dried for about 14 days at 60°F (15.5°C) and 60% RH, the perfect “60/60” for slow, even drying. Branches were ready when they snapped cleanly — a satisfying sound of readiness. Trimming was done entirely by hand on a Trim Bin, using Zamnesia curved blade scissors — slow, patient, and meditative. Frost everywhere. The gloves were covered in resin, leaving behind sticky charas that smelled like pure nostalgia. Yields: 🌿 Pheno #1: 153.15 g of dry, dense, frosted flowers 🌿 Pheno #2: 126 g of equally beautiful, slightly sweeter buds 🍋 Aroma, Flavor & Smoke Open a Groove Bag and you’re met with a wave — sweet citrus, ripe fruit, and that unmistakable Haze spice. Both phenos share the same terpene fingerprint, but #1 carries a deeper, earthier tone while #2 shines with fruity brightness. The smoke itself is smooth, creamy, and elegant — full-bodied yet gentle. Inhale: Fruity citrus sweetness Exhale: Earthy, classic Haze with a spicy afterglow It’s like smoking sunshine filtered through memory. 🌀 Curing – Glass & Groove Bags Curing took place in Groove Bags and glass jars — both excellent, but different in spirit. Glass jars (Pheno #2): require daily “burping,” opening to let moisture escape. Groove Bags (Pheno #1): a modern evolution — engineered with breathable film that automatically balances RH. No burping, no fuss, just perfection. The result? Two styles of cure, both producing world-class aroma and velvet texture. ⚙️ Gear That Shaped the Legend Zamnesia Seeds – For the timeless Super Silver Haze genetics Aptus Holland – For balanced, bioavailable nutrition Plagron – For the bloom magic and resin push Future of Grow, ThinkGrow, Lumatek – For perfect full-spectrum lighting TrolMaster Hydro-X System – The digital brain of the grow Grove Bags – For preserving freshness and flavor Each piece of gear played a part in writing this chapter. 🌈 Reflections & Gratitude This run was a story of resilience — of learning, adapting, and never losing faith. Bud rot appeared, but so did strength. Mistakes came, but so did lessons. And in the end, she rewarded us with medicine so beautiful it transcends the difficulties. To everyone following the journey — the growers, lovers, haters, dreamers, sponsors, and the Zamnesia family — thank you. This wouldn’t be possible without you.

So I've marked it as week 7 of vegatition but I have noticed the formation of some very deep purple pre flowers with little pistils starting to.form. This lady has been topped 3 times once on the main cola after 3 nodes. Then again on the 2 separate tops that occurred after the first topping and as far as training goes that will be it maybe a little defoliation later on but that will all depend on the plant. I haven't really update the nutes other than added bat guano to my homemade soil she hasnt had much in the way of added nutes water on the daily with 1l or when the soil gauge shows it's getting dry. Light schedule is the natural sunlight as we are having 25 26 degrees days in the uk I'm.allowing mother nature to do here thing. Awesome structure to this lady and would definitely recommend fastbuds genetics looking forward to watch this girl develop

Another week has flown by! The girls are doing great, cruise control this week as I have just been monitoring RH and temps. Trying to keep them as low as possible, I’ve been getting as low as 74 during the day and 68 at night. I finally took a look a look at the trichomes with my jewellers loop, lots of cloudy, and a few amber around the leaves and top colas, but still lot’s of clear trichomes. I’ve ordered myself a wireless/usb digital microscope to assist with the process, and looks like it will be here just in time to determine harvest day. 😎🎄 I started by eliminating the nutrients at the beginning of the week. I typically allow for 3-4 pure water feeds before I harvest, and at the rate they have been drinking, this should be enough to get through the 7-12 days they have before harvest. I don’t flush, but rather “rinse” with normal water amounts, allowing the plant to use up the remaining nutrients in the soil. This also allows me to recover most of the soil from my grows and reuse ♻️ with other soil mix. There has been great debate and a great deal of bro science out there for many years, but the recent studies suggest there is no difference in end result when it comes to flushing or using nutrients right until the end, if a proper dry and cure is performed. What do you think? What do you prefer to do? Thanks for reading this far, leave me a comment with your preferred method 👊🇨🇦❤️

Well finally got word on my lights I’ll be picking them up tomorrow! Still keeping it light on the feed! Doing plant Guard once a week and feeding once a week! It’s going to fun changing out lights with a full room! But I couldn’t turn down the offer! But I’m ready to flip! But I might strip the plants a bit and give them a week to recover! I stripped them good a while back but looks like I didn’t do s damn thin now!🤷‍♂️🏽

Also heute startet die 8. Woche,nicht wie hier vermerkt die 10.Woche. Ab jetzt nur noch das Novamax Bloom, Silicate und Pro Bloom von Terra Aquatica als Additiv. Hier und da mal paar Blätter und Äste entfernt. Die Pflanze ist seit letzter Woche 5 cm gewachsen, mal sehen ob sie zum Schluss 60 cm erreicht. Ppfd ist so bei 580 im Durchschnitt ,ergibt so 41,76 DLI. Ich denke 4 Wochen wird sie noch brauchen, bei 70 g Trocken Gewicht bin ich total
