Day 18: The canopy is developping nice and evenly. I wonder how much mire they will stretch. I think that ill do some defoliation at the beginning of week 4 Day 20: Today I did a big defoliation right before the third flowering week ends. It was a tough job reaching all the leaves in the back because I cant move the plants.😅 But we made it! Now the light can reach much further down the plants for better/bigger buds and better aeration.

Last week plants grew very healthy, as they got bushier the humidty raised providing a better enviroment, I could even reduce the amount of water I give them. Planning to move to flowering stage very soon.

The Sensi Seeds Research breeding project has created eleven cannabis seed varieties. How? By combining new cannabis cultivars with a selection of strains from their long-established cannabis gene bank. For the first time in thirty-six years, they are opening the doors of the Sensi Seeds Research and Development Department. Week #5 Plants are doing well, there’s not much to do except to let them grow. Roots are filling the pots, I might transplant them in their final pots (18l) during next week. The Mars-Hydro SP250 has done a very good job during these 5 weeks. The plants need more space to grow, I will have to switch on the HID next week to give some more light coverage. Giving them a light feed during the week using Cellmax BIO 8-2-2 (not listed) and not Organic Grow ☝️ In my quest for plants science I have found something interesting about the Dr Cleve Backster 😊 but apparently controlled experiments that have attempted to replicate Backster's findings have failed... weird isn’t it ? 😳 (I’m looking for a job in the Cannabis industry as Master Grower, Mineralogist, Quality Control)

🌿 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.

Day 8: Nothing New Notes: New lights were supposed to be here today (Monday) according to tracking, but of course, were not. So, we still got blurples for at least the next day. Both plants seem to be growing, slowly but surely! Temp and humidity are relatively under control. Based on the size of the plants, I'm thinking I might transplant into their final homes (5 gal Smart Pots) by the end of the week! Refilling the humidifier twice a day is kind of a pain. Was looking into a possible DIY solution to feed the tank from a large reservoir, so that might be coming in the future. Plants look good, soil looks kinda dry-ish, so I will be watering tomorrow. Day 9: Watering Notes: RIP my dreams of getting a new lights. Shipment is officially delayed with no ETA. Also, watered plants as they looked a little parched, and the soil was super dry. Day 10: Nothing new Notes: Lights have signature confirmation and I wasn't home 😢 Going to pick them up at the PO tomorrow and setting the damn thing up ASAP. I also mounted my exhaust fan to one of the 2x4s framing the room because it felt like CFM was lower than usual which I attribute to putting the exhaust fan all the way on the floor which added a couple bends to the ducting and lengthened it by a few feet. After mounting it (close to the exhaust port in the tent), it seemed to pick up a bit. Plants look ok. Growing very slowly. Soil still looks damp so we're good on watering! GSC definitely looks ready to transplant soon, possibly in the next day or two. NL is close behind it. Day 11: Watering Notes: I was waiting at the post office in the morning for them to open. I got home and hung the light while removing the old one. When I turned them on, HOLY SHIT ARE THEY BRIGHT. Staring at them is almost as bad as staring at the Sun -neither of which I recommend doing-. I set it up right before lights out so I didn't get to test too much. When I got home -after they have been running for 2 hours-, first thing I noticed was the temperature increase. Thermometer said it was 79f. Granted, this is running at full strength (I didn't get to adjust before I left for work). I adjusted it down to roughly 50% as most of this light is being wasted on these poor seedlings anyway. I also pointed the fan at the heat sink. We'll see how the combination of these two things affect the temperature. The GSC looks ready for transplant, with NL close behind it. I could probably transplant the GSC tonight, but I'd rather transplant both at the same time. I might transplant them Friday night after I get home, or Sunday. With that being said, I'm going to hold off on watering them until I put them in their new 5gal Smart Pots. edit: I actually did end up giving them a tiny bit of water. Day 12: Nothing new Notes: Will be transplanting on Sunday (Day 14). Plants are growing pretty steadily now. Both just about have their first full set of leaves! New lights are fucking amazing. I decided to return my filter / fan to upgrade to a better quality setup. I got a Vortex 6in S series for better longevity and also to quiet the grow area. Replaced the filter I got with a 6x16 Phresh carbon filter. Once they're both here, gonna set them up, and return the others. Day 13: Nothing new Notes: GSC is getting so big. Already up to two nodes. Same goes for the NL, but it's more Indica looking in that it's "bushy" and flat. Pretty much a sign of how the two will compare in size later on in their lives. Also, my pH pen sucks, and I needed a TDS pen, so I am going to return the shit one I got and get a BlueLab growers toolkit, which is just a pH pen and a TDS pen. Might seem like I'm going overboard, but I am trying to future-proof my setup for as long as possible. I like to get years if not decades of use out of things I purchase. The higher up-front costs are worth it to me to have a quality product that lasts. Day 14: Transplant Notes: Today is the big move. Bought some shelving / plastic containers at the hardware store for a easy to clean up drainage system. Also bought a big bag of perlite to mix and some random other tools. I mixed both 5gal Smart Pots with a 2:1 Fox Farms Ocean Forest / Perlite mix to help with drainage and aeration. I may have messed up a little and not filled the pot that will be housing the NL, but it's roughly about 3/4 full, and I may have also buried her a little bit deeper than I should have. Other than that, it was a pretty event-free move. Everything is looking good so far. Now that they're in their new homes, the countdown begins, 3 weeks, until I can start feeding them nutrients.

They’re growing healthy, just a little slower than usual. This may be due to the light being a bit far away and AVT hogging the majority of it in the center. The good thing is that she’ll be done in about a week and a half or so I hope. Otherwise they look happy, Pink kush seems to be the one growing the most, we’ll see if the other ladies catch up.

Week 6 for the Oreoz from Super sativa seeds club. Amazing strain, the buds are hard as rocks and explode in trichomes. This strain is a must! I hope super sativa seeds club add this one to their catalogue after they completely finished their testings.

Hey everyone! It’s been another fabulous week of the girls fattening up getting ready for the ever looming harvest time! The colas are huge and glistening like a glitter ball! The back right girl has been on flush since day 51, 2 more went on flush on day 53, and the final girl front right went on flush today, day 56! Over the week I gave 3 girls a really heavy defoliation taking the majority of fan leaves off to allow good airflow and try fattening up those lower buds. It’s still impossible to tell if I prefer defoliation or not but we are getting close to harvest so should have a definitive answer to that soon! The back right girl has had absolutely no defoliation or trimming through her life cycle. I still regularly think back to when we broke one of the girls and transplanted, the cannabis gods were on our side warning us 4 girls will be huge, we were very lucky or would be seriously short of space as of now. As the girls are going to be harvested at slightly different times to ensure each are at their optimum, I have had to construct a dry box. How I built my smell free DIY dry box: Take a large cardboard box, cut an extraction hole in the top at one end and mount some ducting and seal the gap around the edge. Cut a flap in the opposite end at the bottom which will be the passive intake and promoting a draft through the hanging buds. Poke some holes in each end of the box using a screwdriver and thread some thin rope or string through the box tying the ends together once finished to give you sturdy locations to hang some pegs from. Finally I attached an extra bit of card on one of the flaps at the top; this overlaps the slight gap in the top between the flaps that could allow light to enter. Once completed I put the ducting into one of the lower intakes of the tent; the negative pressure in the tent then uses the air in the dry box as a passive intake creating a smell free area to dry your cannabis outside of your grow tent. This also keeps a slight breeze flowing through the box to ensure even drying. Happy toking guys and hope you enjoy the pics and vids, thought it was getting hard to tell how big these girls were in pics anymore so the vids help a lot, and I was lazy this week! :P

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).

Day 30 of flower. Do sweet dos strain. Plants in front right. Roughly 30 days left to go in flower. Lights 1212 par value roughly 1000. I keep lowering my light no signs of light burn yet at 19 inches. Day temp 21-26 night 17-21. Rh% is set to 45-55%. Watering every third day. 4L per plant . No runoff. Every third water I give technaflora nutrients at 1400ppm. Water ph 6.2 Ive learned my plants love a water ph around 6.2. Even slightly altering this to 6.7 you can tell they don’t grow as much. Very excited for the next few weeks as you just sit back and watch them fatten up. See y’all next week.

She's starting to smell very nice! Already much stronger smell than my last grow which is welcomed! I moved the lights down 4 inches in hopes to 'light train' it and prevent the main cola from gaining more height so it can concentrate on the budsites, hopefully it pays off. Live and learn! Happy growing y'all!

This strain took really well to LST and didn’t seem fazed by the training at all. She did become a really heavy drinker about two weeks or so into flower and she definitely seemed to want more nutes than usual. I believe I’ve got two more seeds so will be running this one again if the smoke is worth it.

Seed to harvest in only 61 days! My fastest auto yet 😱 Grape Walker Kush x Ice N Baked freebie This thing took off and blasted past the other two I have going. It grew tall really fast! I can see why it’s a freebie because it’s super tall and probably not the biggest yield but the smell is amazing! I was hoping for grape and I definitely got it! It smells like Grape Gelato lots of grape and a sweet dessert profile. Had a busy last few weeks and was hoping to post more updates. Harvested in a rush but it’s been drying for 5 days now. Will update with yield and post dry pics then later do a smoke report. Overall really easy grow just had to tame it a bit. Never really ran into issues with how quick it was. Sad I only have 1 seed left would love some more! Update: Ended up with 6.5oz and definitely happy! It’s very much grape, ice cream, gelato, dessert, cake flavor. I hope I can get more because I only have 1 seed left. Might try to reverse it but not sure if worth the risk. Everyone that tried it loved it! It’s a chill indica not super sedative but if sleepy enough will knock you out. Overall all good notes on this one. No dry mouth, eyes or munchies. Just a very well rounded indica. Nice hard dense buds. Just ordered a press and plan to make some flower rosin. Trim I’m not sure if enough worth washing. 5 gallon, Coco/Perlite, 20/4, Mega Crop part 1, OAC Calmag, Recharge.

Glaub ich hab ein bißchen mit dem düngeplan übertrieben wie man bei dem Video sehen kann bei den Sapphire scout bei den beiden zkittles die vorne stehen auf der rechten Seite sind es die jiffies die sich nicht richtig aufgelöst haben aber die hintere sieht gut aus. Mir ist gestern durch ein Gespräch mit nem Kollegen aufgefallen das ich den spreader von der Lampe schon vor 2 Wochen hätte drauf werfen können ich Trott hab das völlig verplant hab den gestern Abend schnell mal drauf gesetzt besser spät als nie
