Strain: Fast Buds – FrostBanger Grow Type: Indoor Pot Size: 5 Gallon Medium: Coco and Perlite Nutrient Line: Athena Week 11 Update – Harvest Chop day for FrostBanger! This girl had such a wild structure short but stacked, and her trichome coverage definitely lived up to her name. I took her down and hung her to dry; really looking forward to sampling her once she’s properly cured. She might not have been the tallest in the tent, but she held her own with some seriously frosty buds. Can’t wait to see how the final product smokes. Watering Final week watering: 1.2–1.5L prior to chop. Indoor Climate Conditions (Drying) Day Temperature: 20–22°C Night Temperature: 17–18°C Humidity: 55–60% See y’all next week for the dry/cure update!

Week 9: The Aroma Explosion & The "Funky" Cheese 🧀🍍 The Vibe: We are deep in the game now! The tent smells absolutely intoxicating a mix of sweet tropical fruit and that distinct skunky funk. If Week 8 was about the frost landing, Week 9 is definitely about the density. The buds are hardening up, and the trichome production is spreading like wildfire to the sugar leaves. The Ladies: Pineapple Express F1: She continues to be the absolute Queen of the tent 👑. The colas are stacking beautifully, and she’s drinking up everything I give her. Pistils are darkening up nicely, giving her that mature look. Blue Cheese F1: She is still the rebel of the group! 😅 After noticing that weird stretching on the side branch last week, she's settling in but staying super compact. She definitely has a "boujee" attitude with those 3-fingered leaves, but the bud sites she does have are looking frosty. Just letting her do her thing! White Runtz: Cruising along. Maybe not as monstrous as the Pineapple, but she's frosting up nicely. She have the most fat buds here, compared to the others she win by far. Care & Nutrients: Sticking to the Bio-Bloom and Top-Max combo to push that swelling. PK 13-14 is given with every time I water them. I'm keeping a close eye on the environment (temps holding steady at 27°C) to make sure we don't stress them out in this critical phase. The finish line feels close! 🏁

Grande descoberta esta poundcake, entrou no top 10 das fastbuds 😍

Anche questa strawberry gorilla è quasi arrivata al termine.... forza bella mia. Tira fuori il massimo della tua potenza 😂🤣🤤💪👍..gli ultimi 3 giorni lasciata fuori all'aperto con 2/3gradi °c un buono sbalzo termico gli ha fatto solo bene...

Esta semana he empezado a regar solo con agua en teoría las plantas son de 55-60 días aproximadamente y el día 19 cumplen 60 días.. aunque los tricomas están 50% blancos y 50% transparentes espero que maduren un poco más durante esta semana por que ya tienen bastantes signos de carencia en las hojas que les quedan por que se le han caído bastantes también

Moved into 4x8 tent and now under a Mars hydro 150w light. She’ll finish up In this tent whilst I prepare a new grow for the freed up tent I say another 2 weeks and she’ll be done I hope

Buds are fattening up pretty well and I've had to use more rubber garden wire and clips to keep the branches from bending over. Smell is increasing on the Northern Light but still a mild skunk on the Black Devil. Also gave the very last feeding on the plants this week so they will get nothing but water until the chop. I'm very happy with the microbe populations so I stopped feeding the sugars (molasses/agave) as the plants themselves don't get much out of them; that stuff is just for feeding the soil beasties. I had added some predatory mites several weeks ago to deal with some springtails, and the mites annihilated the population. I did find a developing larva though so there are still some around. Posted lots of microscope videos today.

(Ignore the plant tag - I found out this week from the person who gave me the clone that I had heard completely wrong) She is growing so fast now. I topped and tied down the main stems that were out-growing the lower branches as an experiment but also defoliated the leaves covering any under canopy nodes that could be of potential to catch up. I also turned on the Autopot system this week. The airdomes have been running 18/6 since week 2.

Happy with the over all bud development again this week the smell has really picked up now going into the final weeks. Checking the trichomes regularly planning to possibly start flushing next week all 3 plants are showing signs of colour fading of the larger leafs. Still defoliating and using some sticks to help expose more of the lower bud sites have also added an additional fan to help airflow. Increased the light output from 90% to 100% ☀️ 🤞🏻

Day 51, 31st of October 2020: Hiya!... Time goes fast basically I went on holiday only for 6 days so my friend looked after them.... and miracle happens .... Ladies and Gentlemens ... They impressively grew 20 cm.... look at them explosion ... I had to do LST and gave them darkness one day and switch the lamp to 12/12 from today.... They want to flower .... The smell is getting stronger as well I bought extraction fan system with filter which is already in arrived today but not in use yet..... Everything seems to be good and everything will continue the same way well from next week pump a lot of nutrition they will need it ;) Cheers!

Heerlijke harde volle toppen en voor het eerst dat ik harsdruppels zie. Een heerlijke strain om te growen. De plant wordt in zijn geheel opgehangen en ik zal het droge gewicht wegen.

Yes I my peoples! Here we are at week 4 in bloom period.. plants were feed today with a EC 1.8 and at end 2.0 with a special pk booster 4g to 5 liters water.. Little deflo to the ladies..warm temperatures don't let the girly be more happy

Top dressed the soil day 19 with organic fertilizer. The blue strains are growing fast and bigger than the others. The two LSD’s look completely different, one looks healthy and growing strong. The other, has very light leaves. Im not sure why. it’s in the same soil with the same nutrients and gets the same water as the other plants. Any thoughts? Other than that, things are going well! The Ladies are growing rapidly. Should be ready to LST and tie them down in a few days.

11/2: Both Sweet Zkittlez are looking great, as is the first Black Jack. The other Black Jack has popped and is growing in the DWC cloner for a couple days. Neither Gorilla Girl has popped yet. 11/3: One of the Zkittlez, the Black Jack, and a few other seedlings suddenly look like they are starving, so I fed them and am foliar feeding with a kelp/fish emulsion product every few hours.😕 I can see some green just below the surface on both Gorilla Girls now...fingers crossed. 11/4: I planted the baby Black Jack today and foliar fed them a few times. The Zkittlez with the deficiency looks better today, but her first set of leaves won't last long... Neither Gorilla Girl has emerged yet... 11/7: The younger Black Jack is starting to catch up now. Both Gorilla Girls popped and got planted on the 5th, late at night. Both SZ's look great...the one that was deficient has corrected and is doing well now.

What's up growmies🤟🏽. Week 3 on deck 🙌🏾🙌🏾. Everything is smooth sailing. I lst'd 4 of them today and I'm letting 2 grow natural ( for now). I have them on a 1.5 liters every 3 days watering schedule. They appear to be healthy and thriving. Until next week, happy growing my friends and may the plant goddesses bless you with a bountiful harvest 💪🏾

I colori dell'autunno sono arrivati😂😜con i colori sono arrivati pure deliziosi profumi..deliziosa..a vedere qualche foto delle ultime, sembrerebbero pronte da tagliare,ma io preferisco che maturino un pochino in più. Voglio vedere più tricomi ambrati.cosi da renderla più sedativo possibile 😉😂🤣💪👍🕉️💚💛❤️

Her we go after 30 days, 3 days germination included. 27 days of grow! End of week 4. Hello week 5 and hopefully flowering ❤️ They seem good to me. Can’t wait 😜

Since this diary started in the middle of Week 4 of flower, many of the details about how we got to that point have remained a mystery. In previous updates I mentioned how my last attempt at growing this cut resulted in a plant that outgrew my space. I had a long veg time and used a 5 gallon pot. That information allowed me to exercise caution on this grow because I knew how big this plant can get when given an opportunity. With that in mind, I only gave her 9 days after transplant from the aerocloner before moving her to the flower tent. My pervious experience dictated that this plant exhibits significant lateral branching. I top most of my plants to encourage this kind of growth, but due to the short veg time and for the sake of experimentation, I decided to not top her this time. You can see that this has resulted in a large main stem cola, but also (thanks to knowing her growth pattern) several rather large secondary colas as well. As an aside, some may look at this and wonder "yeah, but what about the yield?" I have never weighed a harvest. I grow for myself only, therefore yield is not something I concern myself with. I just don't care. I fill one quart mason jar and the rest is given away or turned into hash. My scheduling is such that I harvest approximately one plant a month; therefore I have enough smoke to last a VERY long time. While this plant will probably go 12+ weeks, with only 9 days of veg, it’s still comparable to a 10 week variety that would require a longer veg time to produce a similar yield. And, frankly, I have close to a dozen cultivars in my ‘consumable’ collection and this is the only one I reach for prior to 9 pm. She has a very clear and motivational high. Not overpowering, but I never test her ceiling, so she could get one blasted if necessary. This would also be a great plant for someone having trouble eating, because my appetite is essentially limitless when I’m smoking this. Perhaps it’s no coincidence that I have put on a few lbs since I’ve had her in my collection?

🌸 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. The road to the crown begins here. 🌿👑 💚 Dog Doctor 📣 Thank you for following the Super Silver Haze journey!
