are you only using one bulb? if so my advice would be get more lights.

First Suggestion, obviously get more lights. You will be disappointed if u don't. Next suggestion, I dunno how much vertical space you got to work with, but they like to stretch... alot, so you may have to tie them down or LST to keep em shorter and bushier.

I'm about 4 weeks into flowering 5 Super Silver Haze plants in a Aeroponic setup. Really good genetics on these girls, they came close to death due to a malfunction in my cooling vent but rebounded like it was nothing. Pest resistant as well, but I'v noticed they are very easy to Nute Burn. So don't over feed em with too much nutrients. If you do, flush and go weaker.

Minimal odor as well, when compaired to alot of other strains.

And depending how bushy they get, you will need to do some trimming and or add fans to keep air circulating throughout the canopy or they will get mildew/mold. I activly give them "haircuts" at least once a week, already had a mildew problem while vegging them.

*More light - a lot more, like 4 - 6 cfl's per plant
*Put an oscillating fan blowing on them on low to strengthen up the stems
*I'd put em in bigger pots: more roots = more buds
*As for soil use sterilized or baked potting soil mixed with perlite and/or vermiculite, sand, coconut husks
*Nutes you want something like NPK 20-10-10 for veg, 10-20-20 for flower

man those look bad for 8 weeks. you need at least a 10inch pot like 2 weeks ago. what soil are you using? Im growing super silver haze also and im using fox farm soil and nutes. you need at least 4 lights surrounding the plant and just do a lot of reading on here and get a few magazines too. heres a limnk to my grow.

how should i trim them down? what do you mean by LST?

after re-potting them...one of them began to bud, the other is male and long gone.... so far so good week 3 of flowering..pics coming soon

the taller one was the male right?

LST,.. low stress training

one way to do this, and i dont know your hight restrictions, is when you max out and the plants are growing into the lights, is to lightly squese the mail stem to soften it up a little and just bend the main bud over to a 45 deg angel, and it will keep going just fine,.. but be gentel!!, you may also want to use a stake to support it after you do this

yea taller was a male...took a while to show, but all is well now...learning as i go, thanks for the tips. anything else let me know

Link for slang

https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/3423-vocabulary-growing-terms-slang.html

LST - Acronym for Low-Stress Training, the technique of manipulating the branches in order to reduce plant height, expose certain branches to light, and/or distribute hormones to lower branches of the plant to encourage larger buds.

This will teach yah alot

thanks for the help guys

Interesting grow. Just checked it out for the first time today. I'm a newer grower myself, grows linked in my sig.

Consider changing up your watering sched just a little bit, i'm a hydro grower.. but everything i hear (and my non-cannabis gardening experience) tells me you should water minimum twice a week, ferts every second time (W-W-F-W-W-F... W=Water and F=Fert) What fertilizer are you using??

Also think about using molasses, most soil growers swear by it the last couple weeks of flower and week or so of flushing... carbo loading the plant to encourage some metabolism and bulk up and sweeten your nugs.

If you've got a hydro store nearby FloraNectar by General Hydroponics its FLAVORED!!! Berry and Pineapple currently, planning on using one or the other in my WaterFarm grow hear GREAT things about the product.


All in all looks like a VERY successful personal grow! +rep and keep up the good work!!!

thanks for the tips, im watering than feeding only because im not using a strong fert, fox farms tiger bloom(2-8-4). ive heard from a few people that super silver haze is sensitive to stronger ferts which was one of my early problems with miracle grow ferts. i decided to go weaker and its been going great. thanks for checking my grow out, looking forward to checking your's

my 68 w 2700k that was on top blew out and all i got is a 6500 k 85 w over it now and 4 27 w 2700k on the sides. i think its doing pretty damn good since the change. any thoughts? should i change back to 2700k?????

sorry to hear about your bulb.. how about a flower update?

those are gonna take forever to flower, and grow tall has fuck. you need more light

you need 2700k during flowering, use the red spectrum bulbs, not any daylight bulbs(white ones)
