Better Grow - Super Silver Haze Round 2

So am I still a few weeks away before brushing some pollen into these girls?

nutrient burn for sure. flush with the size of the container and then soak the soil with 1/4 or 1/2 strength nutes and let her dry out for a couple days. im watering every other day in my artifical environment.

You`re good to seed now Caddy, went back and checked your pics again. Seeds will form up by the end of the flower cycle for ya. Make sure you remove her from the area with fans (or turn them off), and to lightly shake your pollinated branches to knock off excess before fans come back on. The seed production will also take up quite a bit of the plants energy, so you may lose yield ... but you`ll have some of your supply

Awesome thanks KC! I will try this out to see what happens

we had a paradise acid plant go hermie from ac breaking in partners grow room. we isolated it and kept it, and it produced seeds.

i gathered 3 seeds, took em home and grew em. all were mostly female/all were mild hermies. they always make seeds by 8 weeks in bloom from pistil, so i would wait till like 6-8 weeks from pistil when theyre really ready to mate. i keep the acid hermie gene around, and grow it out every season becuase its an awesome strong plant/pheno. a great mutated girl haha. all plants are uniform growers, really produce, and are potent as hell!

they will preform better with less nute stress. i had nute stress too becuase i was feeding heavy, but i didnt realize my soil had micromax slow release nutes in them! i saw cal/mag signs, thought it was a def, and fed even harder! i was burning the shit out of thc bomb and blackout kush, till i stepped back and figured out what was going on.

6% calcium, 12% sulfur and 17% iron! fuck you monsanto! i didnt even realize i got miracle gro potting mix, my bags got mixed up at the nursery i guess.

i usually use harvest superpowered organic soil from lowes, or gardeners gold potting soil which is close to here in canadian nursuries.

fox farm is too expensive and too hot for me. you dont have to feed for 4 weeks with fox farm soil out of bag, kinda like scotts/miracle gro.

Just pollinated 3 heads. We shall see what happens . Seemed simple enough. I took a piece of cardboard and wrapped it around the bud as to not accidentally get it on other buds. Used a baking brush to grab the pollen from the jar and rub it all over the bud.



the heads smothered in pollen


took a shot of the main cola while i was at it

Thanks B.real I think I should be fine though...hopefully haha

i agree, they look like they will accpet the pollen now, they are developed enough

beautiful girls. looks like they will produce very well! haze is one of my favorites

i see ssh is haze skunk and n.l. very nice..kinda sounds like diesel a bit LOL

acid/diesel is chemd (mexican haze/el dorado) super skunk and n.l.

Good job there Caddy, within a few days you should see the pistils dying off and seeds will form in their place. Long process though, should be done by time you harvest nearly. Congrats on your first pollination brother, welcome!!

Thanks stone appreciate it!

Got a quick question. Should there be a set time where I should probably stop feeding them N based nutrient like my grow big. They were pretty dry a few hours ago so i gave them another heavy feeding. 2 feedings ago was the heavy feeding, followed by a 10 gallon flush, and now another heavy feeding. Same amount but I cut the tiger bloom in half due to the burn from the previous heavy feeding.

tl;dr - when should I stop the grow big nutrient feed?

as long as you see the plant pulling green from the leaves, youre good to chop. usually this takes 5-7 days after flushing.

Thats pretty cool that you can pollinate selected buds. Lookin good caddy.

Looks like they took to the pollen nicely. The pistils are dying off just like u said KC!



Thanks guys. heres an update after another heavy feeding.

Congrats Caddy, looks like the early stages of seed development to me! If you thought growing buds was fun and addictive, you`re just entering my world now ... . Keep it up mate, looking great,
