I feel like this turned out better than it should have. Amazing genetics.

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.

New week starts! 🌞05.12.2022 This day began with smell rising. I think flowering starts. There's a few pestels in every knot (but not on a top). Watered my girls with nutrients without 'Roots' stimulator. I should stop to give it a long time ago, I hope it gave no harm. Soon when the odour will become too intensive I'll turn my filters on. It will be very noizy, that's why I want to do this as late as possible. 🌞06.12.2022 'SeaWeed' spraying today. I changed distance to lamps. Now it's 40sm. Temperature didn't rise, so it's OK. Upd: I made some LST on evening. It's a last training for them, I guess. 🌞07.12.2022 Pre-flowering stage started! I turned on third 100W lamp. Now it's 300W total. Fed my girls with GHE pre-flowering nutrients complect. Sprayed with 'SeaWeed', as usual. 🌞08.12.2022 Today I came home from my job to see both girls increased in their high dramatically, +5cm in 24hrs. Maybe it's because of feeding, maybe lights, maybe auto flowers act like this, I don't know. But I saw larger distance between knots there. I was forced to do one more LST procedure (result is on photo). Also, I sprayed my 'BPPa's' with 'SeaWeed' (as usual) and moved pots closer to each other to place them in a gaps between three lamps of mine. I'll feed them tomorrow. 🌞09.12.2022 Today I noticed brown tips on the my babies leaves. #1 has alot of it and #2 kinda few. I considered to water them with 'GHE Clean' solution one time, next time I'll give them half of a nutrients dose. Smell gets stronger. Tomorrow I'll turn my main ventilator with two carbon filters I have from the previous grow. 🌞10.12.2022 Yesterday I flushed my plants with 'GHE Cleen' solution 2ml/l. Today I do nothing. Tomorrow I'll give them 75% from previous feed formula. 🌞11.12.2022 I putted small amount of sulfur in an upper layer of substrate, ~10g/m². Watered my plants with 75% from 'pre flowering' GHE recommendation. Sprayed leaves with 'SeaWeed'. Week ends.

I like honesty she was to trim. Heavy resin

10.08. Rainbow Sherbet 1# Day 107# Rainbow Sherbet 2# Day 105# Both plants entered preflower today, 2 days ago they received half a dose of boost and a dose of bloom. The day before yesterday was the end of their 15th week. Stay High and Keep Growing!!!

We want to make 12 lbs per 4x8 bed it have 10 plant avg. per 1 cola = 5-10 gram But my coffin Candy is 60-100 top-cola per 1 plant Total 10 plant = 800-1,000 cola per 1 bed Waiting for mission

All is going well, the girls are looking good. Only providing Calmag and powder KoolBloom now. Buds are starting to thicken up and overall nice and healthy. Raised up PK2 slightly, PK1 is much taller.

No problems this week, plants growing extremely well. Unfortunately, I was not able to set up a drip system yet. The only training I did was to tuck the fan leaves a bit, next week I will start LST. I used a foliar spray this week in the days that I feed the plant. DAY 22 - Nutes PH - 6.04 Solution Temp - 20 PPM-1500 Watering Volume per plant - 3L DAY 25 - Water PH - 5.92 Solution Temp - 20 PPM-570 Watering Volume per plant - 4L Plant B is about 20cm Height and Plant A is about 22 cm Height.

Hello Growmies, As we conclude the sixth week with our Epic Buzz plants in the Tent-X Ultimate Grow Showdown, we've seen substantial growth and faced some climatic challenges head-on. The plants have thrived under a regimen of defoliation, lollipopping, and scrogging, developing into robust specimens ready for the flowering stage. The extended watering intervals and the consistent application of our chosen nutrient blend, Alga Grow, Sugar Royal, Power Roots, and Orca, have supported their vigorous development, ensuring they are well-nourished and hydrated. However, managing the environmental conditions, particularly during the night, has presented some hurdles. The recent introduction of a custom-built extraction box has been our latest strategy to combat the high humidity levels we've been battling during the lights-off period. This innovative solution has shown promising results, offering a more controlled grow atmosphere by extracting humid air directly outside, preventing it from lingering in the lung area of our setup. Despite this improvement, the integration of the Mars Hydro fan with the Tent-X system remains unresolved, leading to less than ideal fluctuations in our VPD levels. The lack of support from Mars Hydro, Secret Jardin, and even TrolMaster in providing clear guidance for this integration has been a stumbling block. We're considering a shift back to the reliable Prima Clima system, known for its seamless compatibility and ease of use. In the spirit of community and shared growth, we're reaching out for any advice on connecting a 5-phased PWM motor to the TrolMaster controller. The collective wisdom of this community has always been a guiding light, and any insights would be greatly appreciated. The resilience of the Epic Buzz plants, their lush canopies, and strong structures speak volumes of their potential as we edge closer to the flowering phase. With a mix of innovation, community support, and a bit of grower's grit, we're navigating these challenges, committed to providing the best care for our plants. Stay Lifted, Salokin

Laughing Buddha – Wochenbericht #21 | Blütewoche 6 Blütewoche 6 ist geschafft und trotz der bekannten Blattprobleme entwickelt sich die Laughing Buddha bei den Blüten weiterhin richtig stark. Der Unterschied zur vergangenen Woche wird besonders im Zeitraffer deutlich. Ohne die Dunkelphasen lässt sich die Entwicklung diesmal sehr schön verfolgen: Die einzelnen Buds haben sichtbar an Masse gewonnen, mehrere Blütenstände beginnen immer stärker zusammenzuwachsen und die größeren Colas werden zunehmend kompakt. Gleichzeitig produziert sie weiterhin sehr viele frische, helle Blütenfäden – hier ist also noch lange nicht Schluss. Auch die Harzproduktion macht richtig Spaß. Die Zuckerblätter sind inzwischen stark mit Trichomen überzogen und einige Buds sehen schon jetzt ordentlich „frostig“ aus. ❄️ 🍃 Blattentwicklung Weniger schön bleibt der Zustand des Laubes. Die bereits vorhandene Aufhellung ist weiterhin deutlich sichtbar und an einigen Blättern haben die nekrotischen bzw. rostfarbenen Stellen zugenommen. Nachdem in der vergangenen Woche bereits verschiedene mögliche Ursachen überprüft und die Bedingungen angepasst wurden, möchte ich momentan nicht mit weiteren großen Veränderungen reagieren. Boden-pH und EC waren bei der Kontrolle unauffällig. Gleichzeitig wurden die zuvor sehr hohen Temperaturen bzw. der hohe VPD entschärft und der Abstand bzw. die Lichtbelastung angepasst. Die alten Schäden werden natürlich nicht verschwinden. Entscheidend ist jetzt, ob sich die weitere Verschlechterung verlangsamen bzw. stoppen lässt. Trotz des angeschlagenen Laubes zeigt die sichtbare Entwicklung der Blüten momentan jedenfalls, dass die Pflanze weiterhin ordentlich arbeitet. 💧 Bewässerung Zwischendurch wurde überwiegend Regenwasser verwendet, da kein vorbereitetes Leitungswasser zur Verfügung stand. Künftig werde ich wieder hauptsächlich Leitungswasser verwenden und eventuell einen Teil Regenwasser beimischen, um die hohe Kalkbelastung meines Leitungswassers etwas abzumildern. Nach dem versehentlichen Verschieben eines Bodensensors wurde dieser außerdem wieder korrekt eingesetzt. Dadurch waren die vorherigen Feuchtigkeitswerte teilweise irreführend – nach dem erneuten Einsetzen zeigte der Sensor wieder plausible Werte. 💡 Licht & Technik Diese Woche gab es noch zwei kleine technische Geschichten. 😅 Einmal wurde das Licht morgens manuell eingeschaltet, damit ich vor der Arbeit gießen konnte. Abends habe ich leider zu spät daran gedacht, sodass sie an diesem Tag ungefähr 13 statt 12 Stunden Licht bekommen hat. Ein einmaliger Ausrutscher – danach ging es wieder normal mit 12/12 weiter. Außerdem hatte der Spider-Farmer-Controller seit einiger Zeit seine Netzwerkverbindung verloren. Lokal funktionierte die Steuerung weiterhin, in der App wurden allerdings keine aktuellen Daten mehr übertragen. Ich habe den Controller schließlich auf Werkseinstellungen zurückgesetzt und sämtliche Geräte neu verbunden – seitdem funktioniert wieder alles wie vorgesehen. 👍 🌸 Fazit Blütewoche 6 Die Blattgesundheit bleibt ganz klar der Punkt, den ich in den kommenden Wochen am genauesten beobachten werde. Dafür gibt es nichts schönzureden: Für die noch verbleibende Blütezeit hätte ich natürlich lieber deutlich mehr gesundes, sattgrünes Laub. Auf der anderen Seite steht eine Blütenentwicklung, mit der ich wirklich zufrieden bin. Die Buds haben innerhalb dieser Woche sichtbar zugelegt, die Harzproduktion läuft auf Hochtouren und über die gesamte Fläche stehen inzwischen zahlreiche ordentliche Colas. BW6 war damit eine etwas widersprüchliche Woche: oben werden die Buds immer schöner, darunter macht mir das Laub weiterhin Sorgen. 😅 Jetzt heißt es möglichst stabile Bedingungen halten, genau beobachten und ihr die Ruhe geben, ihre Arbeit zu machen. Auf in Blütewoche 7. 🌿✌️

Bloom Week 10 - It's a wrap. About to enjoy another Oaxaca Old Fashioned to celebrate. Yeah - I'm into mixology too. These are the frostiest buds I've ever grown. I'm looking forward to harvest. Something tells me I won't be disappointed. Regardless, I'll be honest with the results.

Leider sind die Blattspitzen leicht verbrannt. Ich habe die Temperatur zu schnell erhöht 😒 Jetzt erstmal wieder auf 25°C Tagtemperatur und Alg a mic ins gießwasser, das sollte helfen 😌 Nach 2 Tagen hat sich die Pflanze sichtlich erholt 😍, sie sieht vitaler aus als je zuvor 😁 An Tag 33 zeigt die Shogun ihre Vorblüte 😙

She's chunking up so much and just continues to get smellier and smellier! This plant's been getting compost tea and overdrive/ph perfect bloom only until end of this week, then I'll begin flush!

Messed up not trimming lower buds really fluffy but still, branches were lst to long and buds got heavy in branchs

Well its day 20 and shes really started to take off 😊 thinking of topping her soon Ended up doing LST

She sure is turning into a pretty plant. She’s looking good!

Last week of growing started, we will switch to flowering at the end of the week. Nothing special was done, simply water as all had seaweed and biogrow already, during flower we will only add some extra PK and some sugars and it should be more than enough!

I think the plants finished their stretch this week. The buds are now getting bigger and some trichomes have appeared on the leaves next to the buds 😎 The smell is also stronger than last week. I have some small issues with the plants. Yellow/brown tips for the Blackberry Cake and the Cashew Kush and yellowing leaves for the Jack Herer. The BioBloom seems to slow down the issues so I hope it will be alright. The previously broken branch of the Cashew Kush was not flowering so I removed it. On the other hand, the Blackberry Cake nicely recovered from the LST strings marks 💪 Plants heights at the end of the week : ------------------------------------------- Blackberry Cake : 80 cm Jack Herer : 59 cm Cashew Kush : 83 cm
