And so it begins...My 1st grow log (super silver haze grow)

Ok this is my first grow. Super silver haze strain. As you can see one has all ready sprouted and the other 4 are well on there way. Im using regular party cups, which I've poked holes in the bottem. I'm doing this to keep em small. If any one has any other method for keeping plants small feel free to throw it my way. Im use one 20w floresent tube light just to get em started. The im gonna work up to 4 100w cfl blubs. I plan to give em 36 hours of darkness then start 12/12 in 3 or 4 weeks (I will have started using all 4 lights by then) and also start feeding. After I find out whish are female Ill transplanet them into bigger pots. I plan to keep the flower cycle going for bout 5 to 7 weeks then, harvest.
suggestions?

that growbox looks very familiar. saw it on a post the other day. did you have another post and switched to this one?

yea in fact i think u posted on it

ok i turned on 2 other cfl bulbs. most of them have sprouted. I got another computer fan for air outtake. im planing on get 1 or 2 little fan to make better air cirulation.

ok all five have sprouted within in one week since start of germanation. here are some pic of em and of my air system.

looks good man!
keep it up!

unless you plan on doing a full 8 weeks flower your wasting your time, trust me yoo wont harvest shit after 5 weeks using CFL's just not gonna happen so do yourself a favor and go the full 8-9 weeks it takes.

i dont have that kinda space i cant let them get that big

^Again, I concur with Invision. The buds fatten ALOT during the final couple of weeks. You will be needlessly robbing yourself of priceless bud. Be patient. It helps. Check out my thread and look at the rubbermaid box that is flowering with CFLs. I will have updates today. They are getting bigger. But wait til those last few weeks...BAM!

Then use LST and topping to keep them short and flower them when they are short. You can keep them smallish. But they will stop most of their strech after the 4th or 5th week, so after that it's mostly horizontal growth...bud growth. Don't harvest early. Use other methods to keep them short.

Love...is love.

yea im gonna let it bud for 8 weeks ill transfer them in like 3 weeks and also start feeding them then, after a week start 12/12.
thanks for all the input

Wow man. Super Silver Haze is a killer strain. It sells for around $800 an oz. in some parts of the country that are lucky enough to have this strain. Do not deny yourself the full pleasure of this strain by cutting its life short. I suggest your veg for a couple weeks and then switch to flower if you want to keep them small. Also, doing some LST will help keep them small and compact and will let them fill up your grow space quite well. Hope your grow goes well.

Happy Toking :rasta:

super silver haze sounds soooooo yummy
i cant wait til you smoke this so you can let us know

yea man i got the seeds from this kid that grows. His plants are huge, he's growin super silver haze too. I tried some off that shit, abosltly amazing. hes also workin on this cross he made of super silver haze and AK 47 so, hes gonna gimme some of those seed soon. i also tried some that lol.
so its final im gonna make my veg cycle for bout 3 weeks but one weekin ill start using all four of the cfl. Two weeks in to veg im gonna transfer them, start feeding and start LST. Then ima let it bud the whole 8 weeks.

Day 3; Veg Cycle

Looking great man, I wish you the best of luck on this grow.


Have you looked into T5s? At my local grow shop for 29$ you can get a mounted 2 foot T5bulb, all you do is plug it in, you can daisy chain these as you get more. The light output is sexy for small grows!

I am planning on around 600 watts of t5 mixed spectrums to build my veg room with, the prices are actually really reasonable compared to the amount you could produce.

Just as a quick note, you are not in veg state yet. As of now you are still in early seedling stage. It takes a couple weeks to get out of seedling stage.

Happy Toking :rasta:

o so when do i kno im out of early seedling stage

ok its 5 days since plants have sprouted. Im still not sure if there in veg cycle. I've put a little bowl of water to increase humidity. I'm planning on puting a little fan in there other than the air outake/intake fans and a thermometer. here are some pic to view.

seedling and veg together take quite a while it seems.my plants are about 25 days out of dirt and i still won't flower for about another 3 weeks and that will probably still be to soon to get the maximine potential out of them.pic1 of course i only vegged these for about a month and they still did quite well.pic2(the pic is a little deceptive it is two plants one was 9 grams and the other was just cut though i expect aroud 5 or 6 grams due to the wet weight being 20.both were also topped about 2 weeks into flower(oops) so there was potential to get more out of them

alot of luck on your grow and i can't wait to see them get big:D

Yo Salezzi ~ im growing SSH (supersilverhaze) right now as well and if you have any questions in regard to this plants set-up or you just want to check out your strain a couple steps ahead on the grow cycle, check out my SSH UPDATE @ http://boards.cannabis.com/showthread.php?t=87140

you picked a good strain man! wait till the leaves have silver gliter all over them, you will trip out!

yo thanks fo all the input feeling free to gimme any suggestions or idea
:rastasmoke:

My first week is almost over and there lookin real healthy and are growing fast.
:D

p.s. i was pertty high when i wrote that last post:stoned:

Done with week 1 they have all growin pertty fast exept for the little on at the top (see pics).

look at em bitch open up

week 2, thinkin bout transplanting and feeding soon.
suggestions?

yeah get them in bigger pots, let roots grow big

ok they have been transplanted i jus dont know if i should start feeding or not. help?

They look big enough to me, start at 1/4 strength though.

so so i only put a fourth of the food im sopossed to put in the water

yep, 1/4 strength. those look great!:thumbsup: i'm currently looking for supersilver myself, heard nothing but good.

love, kp:p

Yes as the princess said 1/4 strength food and there looking great.
I have been looking into a nice haze the only problem is some veritys can take like 12 weeks to finish flowering. It will be worth the wait if you can.

here are my babies. 2 weeks and 3 days old. Theyve blowing up ever since i transplanted and started feeding them. im thinkin bout lettin them grow for another 2 weeks or week and a half before i put em on 12/12. help? Any other changes i should make for when i go 12/12?
:stoned:

not really, just need to change the times, and nute. every time you water.. see thru pots r bad 4 roots too

I'm with Abbatoir. Throw some duct tape or something over those pots.

Nice lookin' plants, salezzi. They look like they are happy with you now. Looking forward to seeing them grow big. :greenthumb:

Check out BIG FIX duct tape. 'I' used it to light-proof the clear resevoir for the main flowering room's ebb & flow system. Check it out in THE JOURNAL. ;)

BIG FIX, baby. (grunting) lol

:rasta:

Edit: The tape is 12" wide and 30' long in roll. Kickass.

thanks guys

How tall are those puppies? They look small, lots of vegetative growth though. I agree with the others, get them some pots that aren't see through, bad for the roots. What type of lamp you using? Keep up the good work

yea im plannin on putting some reflective material on the pots. there on 4 100w cfls. i jus put the bulbs on a celling fan lamp i rewired

good job salezzi, jw, when you transplant them again (if you do) you will you get them out of those weird shaped pots? lol if you havent already i would try and poke some holes in them so the roots can breathe, good job tho man ;)
