First Grow - Super Silver Haze

Perhaps ... :). What I would recommend is tie all of your shoots to the main at about halfway of each shoot, then you can later reinforce the main with bamboo, PVC structure, etc. to provide support when you need it most. The initial ties should give some short-term strength and will allow the main to be solidified better down the road. Always happy to help a fellow Super Silver grower :blsmoke:

Hmmm that sounds like a good idea!

Previous experience with lanky Sativas has to have it`s benefits :mrgreen:

Hahha yes it does! Glad I'm getting help from someone who has grown them before.

Did you get my comment on the previous page about harvesting? I think I posted it the same time you replied and then it went to a different page :(

Yea super silver is a nice run for sure I did one indoors that yielded 12+ ounces had colas as long as my arm. It was a fun active smoke and nice for the sativa enthusiast.

Thanks Droxster. What are Reggie seeds? I tried Googling that but I couldn't really find anything. Welcome back to the forum btw, let me know if you post a grow I wouldn't mind taking a peek :)

KC, I had a question which I should be thinking about soon here. What method for harvesting/curing/drying do you prefer when you harvested your SSH? When its time, I think im planning on cutting the branches and trimming excess leaves around the buds and clean them up before they are hung upside down in a dark room. After that I'll remove the buds individually from the branches and store them in mason jars. Every couple of weeks I will crack open the mason jar for the moisture to release.

Does this sound okay or what would you suggest?
Sounds pretty good. My step-by-step looks like this:

1) Last 72 hours before pull, go complete darkness, want to plant to think it`s dying off making it produce every last ounce of it`s energy into resin hardening
2) Pluck all major fan leaves, eveything that`s not grown into bud (you`ll know what I mean by the end)
3) Hang dry (ON STEMS STILL) for 7-10 days, keep humidity around 45-50%
4) Cut buds off stalks and place in mason jars (lightly, don`t overpack). Store for minimum 2 weeks (I`ve found this to be sufficient) opening the jar(s) once a day for fresh air
5) Roll up a big one with your buddy and try the fruits of your labour !!

Hopefully this covers the process for ya :)

This must`ve been a single plant grow, DWC or something of the equivilant. Not saying there`s fibs being told, but the SSH shouldn`t produce that kind of weight indoors, no way. Best run I had was 6-7 ounces and it was a monster with nearly perfect conditions. Would love to see some pictures of this 12+ OZ plant

Beautiful. Thats kinda what I was picturing minus the 72 hour darkness....seems like a good idea. I will try this out exactly and see how it goes. Much appreciated KC!

As always, no worries :blsmoke:. I ran 2 plants (OG Kush) about a year ago and let one continue 12/12 for the last 3 days and pulled the other out of the garden and into a dark room. The resin swelling was much more intense with the `dark`plant even though they were identical before the final 3 days (cut from symetrical clones). Should really run the comparrison again, photo it this time, and article it for the forum. Have at er` ;)

Yea dude seriously that seems like a really good tip! Thanks for sharing :)

***EDIT forgot to add that as the days go by more fan leaves are starting to turn slightly yellow so I've been trimming them as soon as they look unhealthy. I also have 2 bottom branches that have a bud site at the very tip of it. A very small bud site but it does have some hairs growing lol...should I even bother keeping these? Should I use it for cloning? Or just completely cut it off?

Whoa, whoa whoa. Are these `top`leaves!? I should hope not. At this point, clear everything along the bottom quarter of the plant using snips, right along the stem. Divert as much growth as you can up top and leave them leaves alone! unless they`re badly curling over or look like their inhabiting mould, leave them. They`ll yellow slowly as it gets later in flower, you just may need to get some CalMag and supplement that slightly, free up the other nutrients. I couldn`t reference a picture either, would help to diagnose :).

Gonna take a bit to ACTUALLY write this journal out (finally figured out the camera loading), so if I`m not brisk with my response ... I`m working :bigjoint:

You`re exactly right. They will be small buds. We`re looking to make the serious weight up top, those little babies down there are only going to hinder the big colas ability to maximize. Food for thought.

P.S. Journal is now up :), link in my signature

Alright thanks man. As soon as the lights turn back on im going to take a picture of my bottom section of the plant and hopefully you can shed some light on how far up I should cut. As always, thanks for your help.

Alright Caddy, looking awesome buddy. The bottom 2 branches in the first picture .. cut em. The third from the bottom trim everything all the way up to the top cola. Then you can tie those branches in slightly for support and you`re rockin man.

**EDIT** Everything on the third lowest branch minus the fan leaves at your second top budsite and above. Still want those bad boys and the nugs will condense together on that third bottom branch set

P.S. The second picture should be your profile pic, totally sweet view :p

Looks great, now we watch them want to come together. All spaced out now, but those become `Arm` colas later, haha. Do I see ties to the main shoot yet .. ? :bigjoint:
