First Silver Haze Grow

SETUP-Small as possible, 2 50w cfl, 5 gallon pot, plain soil no nutrients. Soil came from landscaping job, it's just generic, but good dirt

DAY 10-sorry I dont have pictures of it before day 10.

My first indoor grow as well as my first silver haze. Im trying to grow a small plant and I know sativas get tall. when do you think I should start flowering it?

about a 2 feet either bend it or top it and itll grow broad not taller put cfls on sides not on top jaaha theyll grow better more resin and maybe get a uv light it'll help with resin silver haze has increadible high and resin so make it stronger

SSH grows massively tall in the early stages of flowering. I mistakenly let a few grow to about 2.5 ft because I had mislabeled them earlier as H. Kush - yeah, not smart to label when you are medicated. They are now taller than me and I have had a hell of a time getting proper lighting.

I grow SSH in organic soil with organic nutrients and HPS lighting. For me, SSH produces really light and fluffy buds. It definitely is not something I would recommend for first grow indoors, but I have yet to master her particular needs, so dont let that discourage you if you are up for the challenge.

My advice: Anything over about 18" and you will be asking for trouble. She does respond well to topping early on in my experience.

I am absolutely ready for the challenge. Ive always loved to grow things and I put in the time, effort, and love for the plants. thanks for the replies, more pics soon

zooted

i need to get more lights but I just havent managed to get any, oh well it's still doing good. found a tiny red mite on it earlier. killed it and didnt see any more.

she smells skunky already and the main stem has parallel dark lines going up it. almost black like it has stripes

Where did you get your seed from?Im growing MNS super silver haze...peace

I got my seed out of a very lucky gram of silver haze. I believe the grower said nirvana seed company.

Great to see the progress. A couple tips for ya to maximize your chances for success:

1) This strain has a strong reaction to nutrients and pH fluctuations. Be sure to slowly dial in your nutrient regiment and always check your pH. She can go from "OMG thats beautiful!" to "OMGWTF!" in a few days.
2) She has many sativa traits, including longer flowering times, quick vertical growth pattern, sparse buds (almost non exisitent at the lower branches). Plan accordingly in terms of grow space, pruning, etc.
3) She loves light. I have never starved her for light, but once into flowering, there is a massive growth spurt. Be prepared to give her what she needs.
4) Very susceptible to heat stress and moisture loss that can cause her to lose massive amounts of leaves in no time, and in some cases, revert back to veg. I have only seen this once, and I attributed it to high temps in the grow area when my AC broke.

I have a couple in the last stages of indoor flowering right now (the ones that are taller than me). If you like, I will take some pics to show you what you are in for (in hopes you will take my mistakes and learn from them).

i would love some pictures. I've never dealt with silver before, much less indoors. I usually do indica outdoors and this challenge seems like a lot of fun. Any advice is appreciated. The ph is good right now and I will get at least one more light this week.

Here you go bro,Ive got these two phenos of SSH going now.The one in DWC is pure sativa and the other pheno is a skunk#1 pheno.Ive found 7 different phenos in my pack of MNS SSH..peace

i see what they mean about most budding being at the top. I see tremendous progress in the growth of this plant. A new set of leaves every day it seems and a bunch of small ones growing from the base of the branches. It grows a lot faster than anything Ive dealt with. When should LST'ing be started? A little taller I'd imagine? Ive never had to do that before

DAY 14

Another set of leaves coming out today

no replies? lol any advice or anything? lmao
