Week 2 of 🌹Flowering and some of Kaiydaan's sugar leaves look as though, they've been dusted with Confectioner's sugar. She still has no smell that I can recognize, however, she has a citrus/pine scent when you rub her leaves between your fingers. "Freeman", the 3rd girl to sprout, 2nd girl to 🌼Flower, and the girl we were attempting to manifold, is growing in healthy and strong. We weren't able to manifold her, because she began to show signs of 🌻Flower when Kaiydaan did, WAY EARLY. Not wanting to shock her, we ceased all topping and stripping. So basically we're left with a topped Auto that was partially stripped below the 3rd node. I think "Freeman" could have withstood the ⚡shock of multiple toppings, but I rather not risk that theory on a first grow. "J" is still in full Veg well behind "Freeman" and "Kaiydaan". We are still feeding full Veg nutrients to "J" as we taper off "Freeman" and "Kaiydaan". I don't have bloom boosters so we will be relying on our organic amended soil and organic fertilizers to get us through Flower. July 8, 2021 I defoliated and rotated the crop. "Kaiydaan" and "J" are doing very well and are getting stickier with every passing day. July 12, 2021 Monday. Things are progressing. Not much change, no stretching. "J" is still in full Veg, weeks behind "Kaiydaan' & "Freeman" with no signs of moving into Flower. I don't believe she is a Photoperiod, but just a different Phenotype from the others.

This week has been horrible and I've been combatting the heat as we have had a heat wave so been some serious high temps 30-31 but I've swapped out my hps for a new led light hopefully this will help also I did a flush day 77 ready for week 3 Happy Growing!👊👍

7/16 some plants are showing yellowing in the leaves and one the plants has branches drooping. theyre flimsy as is. same plant is showing airy buds, almost no bud structure. maybe will pack on weight a little bit? probably not 7/18 could be a nitrogen issue. considering theyre autos, i shouldve dialed it back before flower 7/22 plants are still throwing out pistils

These girls are looking good, they are slowly streching at a good pace. They are still on a 6.4-6.8 ph which they are loving. No burnt tips from over feeding. There branching is good, stems are thick and sturdy, dont think I'm going to need support. So they get fed & inoculated once a week (@900-1100/ph:6.4-6.6)on Tuesdays and watered (@170-220ppm/ph:6.4-6.5)(acti-vara/cal-mag(2ml/gal.)) some times I dont have to use a buffer (ph+/-).

Week Update – Final Flush Before the Chop! 🌿✂️ Last week of flushing and we’re just about ready to bring her down! I like to aim for a few ambers towards the end, so I’m closely monitoring those trichomes going for that sweet 70/30 cloudy to amber ratio. 👀💎 She’s absolutely stinking up the place in the best way possible pure skunk vibes, it’s amazing. Dense as a rock too! I seriously can't wait to smoke her.

Chopped on 9/11/25 Has a fruity sweet smell to it. These buds are giant and just long connected braided cola with very uniform and chunky buds throughout the whole plant

Man this week has been taking forever, my theory is it will only get slower relative to harvest just because my excitement. I top dressed with about 2 inches of worm castings with an eyeballed mix of 2tbps of bone meal (3-14-0, bloom fert.), 1.5-2tbps of Gaia green all purp.(4-4-4, I don’t have an actual potassium fert. Like leingbenite So I use this), 3tbps of dr earth kelp meal (1-.05-2 has many different vitamins, amino acids, carbohydrates) and 2tbps of mykos (for microbiology inoculation and nutrient uptake/upkeep). So I every time I water I have this old 2gallon water tin that I usually fill up about a quarter to half way full. Using this amount of water and the 5 gallon bucket of my soil mix makes my watering schedule once every 3 days (on average). I do use bottle nutrients but it’s mainly for the supplementing. For feeding I use 2-3ml to half a gallon for all bottle nutrients, I have never gone over, and I have never had deficiency’s that can hinder plant development. Deficiency's: PSA: Now if anyone happens to read and actually look at my plants please do look closely and maybe let me know if you see something that I have missed since I’m still very new. I noticed my plant was having a cal mag issue so that’s why I top dressed with worm castings, I also top dressed with about 3tbps of azomite (I feel using azomite it may help with all those unnoticeable deficiency’s that a new grower might miss). I’ve been noticing on some of the leaves the very tips are showing discoloring, since the color is still so vibrant mostly I can rule out nitrogen, phosphorus, Iron, manganese, and sulphuric. It’s still very early stage so I did an extremely light foliage feeding (in the dark to prevent UV damage) of 2ml of big bud, big bloom, and tiger bloom, mixed into half a liter of water, I then emptied the spray bottle and sprayed with tap water just to make sure there’s no nute burning. Today I fed the plant through water amendments with 3ml of big bud, 3ml of bud candy, 3ml of big bloom, and 2ml of tiger bloom;(my theory is hopefully the nutrient deficiency’s will go away) My soil mix is pretty basic. 40% coco, 10% perlite, 10% well composted chicken manure, 20% black gold compost, 20% worm castings. I’m not going to put the fertilizer amendment percentage to be honest I eye ball it but there’s a rough general measurements that I do.

im not training these at all im strictly watching them grow and studying how they are naturally. messing with the lights a little, and got some light burn on both plants cause the lights were wayy to close. but all that being said im recalibrated with the lights, added in the blurple light just because i wanted more specrtum. growth has been explosive. i incorporated fish shit into every feeding and watering this week and i love it so far.

gave plant a good spray down with warm water to dislodge mites. Also treated with castile soap and vinegar wash under all the leaves. Applied predatory mites the next day. So far no sign yet, fingers crossed.

The temperatures, humidity, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH and 50° F. Any listed nutrients are ml/gallon of soil. Day 1 we had rain the previous night and intermittently throughout the day. Temperatures were in the low 70's with cloudy skies. Day 2 we had clear skies sunshine. Temperatures were in the low 80's. Day 3 we had partly cloudy skies, low humidity, and temps in the lower 80's. I watered about 1.5 gallons from the hose. Day 4 we had lite showers in the morning, partly cloudy skies and temperatures in the low 80's the remainder of the day. Day 5 we had showers in the early morning until afternoon. Then it was mostly sunny with high temperature around 79. Day 6 we had lots of sunshine and temperatures in the low 80's. I watered about 2 gallons from the water hose today. Day 7 it was mostly sunny with temperatures reaching 82°. This week was successful. The plants nearly doubled in height. They've weathered all the rain and are thriving.

So the end is here. Its time, only damage from this point on, in this case.. I chopped her. She is hanging... strong pine smell with a little lemon. Not my favorite that's for sure.

23.11 Последнии неделя полторы перед харвестом Закинул семки на ночь к пузырикам с FitoPower, утром или в течение дня закину одну в easyplug другую в кокосовую таблетку. 24.11 Hola amigos Семки за ночь утонули и были высажены в easyplug и обычную кокосовую таблетку, накрыты стакашком и убраны под 20 не сильных бытовых ватта, затем им будет включена 60ватт sun2board. Немного о подготовке мин.ваты. Мат мин.ваты нарезал на кубики 1.5-5см и погрузил их в таз с водой ph5.5 и оставил напитываться на 30минут, каждые 10минут подходил смотрел пш, он был на месте. Далее заполнил 2горшка и оставил стекать всё лишнее, собственно всё.

During the past week a lot has happened.😃 First of all I chose Pheno 1 to stay and I gave Pheno 2 away to my friend. I switched the Bilberry light to Bloom Spectrum, but kept the 18 hours light schedule the reason behind this is that because of the quick (unexpected) vertical growth I am soon planning to re pot and then switch to 12 hours. I don't want to put all that stress on her at the same time. The switch has even more increased the growth. She is going FANTASTIC!!💪 I pruned just twó (one level) of fan leafs to give some light to the lower levels. Normally I don't do this but something compeled me this time. I fed her twice tha past week, both times with the same nutrient proportions. I dont't have to water much as the BAC Lava Soil keeps the moisture very well. I hope she keeps going like this!!

🌸 Week 1 Flower – Super Silver Haze (Zamnesia Seeds) Grower: Dog Doctor Strain: Super Silver Haze Phenotypes: SSH #1 & SSH #2 Tent: 8x8 Shared Grow Space Lighting: Future Of Grow – Black Series 600W LED Control System: TrolMaster Hydro-X Watering: Hand Watering Pot Size: 11L Fabric Pots Medium: Super Soil with Aptus Holland amendments CO₂: ~700 ppm Day Temp: 31°C Night Temp: 25°C Humidity: 50% Soil Temp: 25°C Water pH: 6.1 Water EC: 0.6 Runoff EC: ~2.0 Water Temp: 18.5°C PPFD: 760–780 µmol/m²/s ⸻ 🌿 Early Flower Surprise Week 1 of flower… and I swear these girls are moving like they’re already in week 2. Pistils are out, floral sites are forming, and the stretch is starting with elegance. It’s possible they slipped into pre-flower during late veg without me catching it, they were so stable, compact, and lush that I might have missed the subtle signals. Either way, they’ve entered bloom with full confidence. Both phenos are incredibly similar in structure and size, making them a joy to manage. They’re compact yet big, stacking nodes tightly while still filling space. The leaf color is deep and uniform, the formation is textbook Haze, and the inner node spacing is perfectly balanced for light penetration. ⸻ 💧 Feed & Water Adjustments We’ve tweaked the recipe this week, retiring Aptus Start Booster and introducing Aptus Top Booster at 0.25 ml/L. Current Feed (per L): • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml • Aptus Top Booster – 0.25 ml The soil is already enriched with slow-release Aptus pellets, which explains why EC in solution is lower (0.6) while the medium’s own EC is holding steady at ~2.0. They’re drinking well, 1.5–2 L per day — with irrigation happening around 25% dryness in the pots. ⸻ 🌡️ Environmental Conditions & Upcoming Changes The room is running hotter than ideal at 31°C daytime, 25°C night. RH is stable at 50%. CO₂ sits comfortably at ~700 ppm. A dedicated AC unit is on its way and should be installed next week, which will help dial temperatures closer to the sweet spot for flowering. Soil temperature is at 25°C, supporting strong root activity, while PPFD at the canopy sits between 760–780 µmol/m²/s depending on plant position. We monitor these numbers carefully to keep photosynthesis at optimal efficiency without stressing the plants. ⸻ ⚙️ Why We Measure Everything • PPFD: Ensures plants receive the right light intensity for maximum photosynthetic activity during each stage. Too low = underpowered; too high = light stress. • Soil Dryness: Prevents both overwatering and underwatering, protecting root health and microbial balance in living soil. • Soil EC: Tells us nutrient availability inside the medium, helping us adjust feed without guessing. • CO₂: Works in harmony with light intensity and temperature to push growth rates without causing metabolic stress. ⸻ 👑 Remembering the Queen Super Silver Haze isn’t just another cultivar, she’s an old school heavyweight, a cup-winning legend with a long legacy. Growing her feels like growing history. There’s nostalgia here for me, a personal connection to the magic this plant has delivered over decades. My hope is to see her express that classic SSH magic, the electric haze high, the silver sheen on the colas, and the unmistakable aroma that once ruled the cups. ⸻ 📸 Studio Shots & Natural Growth Of course, I couldn’t resist taking them to the studio this week. Under the lens, they shine, vibrant greens, symmetrical structures, healthy posture. No training yet, letting them express themselves naturally as they settle into flower. Next week, I expect to see stronger pistil development, initial stacking, and perhaps the first hints of stretch acceleration. ⸻ 🔮 What’s Next? • AC unit installation for tighter climate control • Continued monitoring of PPFD and EC • Watching for early resin development • Tracking stretch patterns for possible support netting These queens are just starting to show what they’re capable of.

Just starting to poke out their first divided leaves. Put some mushroom mulch around the base of the stem to prevent the cover crop from moving in too close and blocking out light to the tiny seedling. It's been raining here today and it looks like it gonna continue but our cold frame allows us to control how much water gets on the seedlings (which is nice). Gave them their first compost tea consisting of green and brown vegetative matter, worm castings, some mushroom compost, and General Hydroponics subcultures M and B. Used the leftover vegetative material as mulch. Trimmed cover crop again.

It is a day one of the 6th week. I watered the plants and started adding B’cuzz Silic Boost. Also made some beautiful photos under a white light and I am really happy with the plats progress. 👍 Two days after watering and spraying with the fresh water added with vita race the plants are super gorgeous and they are growing in size acchieving 60 cm in height. Buda are getting bushier as well. 😻 I am a little worried by the fact that some of the plants tend to curl their leaves down just before the light turns off. After six hours of night plants look healthy again. Could that be connected to the distance between te lamp and the plant which is diminishing as the plants grow? Thanks for suggestions😊
