Super Silver Haze DWC Indoor Grow

Hi everyone. Long time lurker here. Wanted to post my first attempt at DWC with an SSH seed from nirvana. I’ll keep it simple.


4x4 Gorilla grow tent shorty (/w incl. ext)
Mars Hydro TSW 2000 (300W) LED
5 Gallon bubble bucket w/ 4x airstones
20-28C; 50-65% RH
Tap water 150-250ppm, ~6.4pH


Initial Nutrients:
Fox Farm Trio (GB, BB, TB)
2ml/gal Hydroguard

Current Nutrient:
8ml/gal FloraNova Bloom
2ml/gal Hydroguard
5ml/gal CalMag


(Seedling;Wk 1-3)
Seeded in a GH rooting plug. Once sprouted, it was only given water for first 3 weeks.

(Early Veg; Wk 4-6)
I started week 1 veg nutes @ ~25% of FF hydro feeding schedule. Increased to ~30% and saw some nute burn.

(Growth Period; Wk 7-9)
Rapid vegetative growth began after 3 weeks of feeding. I tried switching over to RO supplemented with CalMag just for experimentation, and got obvious signs deficiency as rust spots on fan leaves. Switched back to tap water without CalMag and had no issues.

I decided to veg this plant for 6 weeks instead of 4 in an effort to fill out the grow space. This was a mistake. More on that later..

(Start Flowering; Wk 10-11)
Continued with FF nutes @ 25%. Sex showed in the middle of week 10.

(Flowering; Wk 12-13)
I stopped using FF because they’re high maintenance in DWC. Did some research about the Lucas method, and settled on the KISS variation that’s merely 8ml/gal of GH FloraNova Bloom. Plant seems to be very happy. Today 12/12/21 is day 2 of week 13, which is the 4th week of flowering. Currently creeping up on 5ft tall, so I’ll need to grab an extension kit for my grow tent so I can move the lights further away. They’re maybe 10-12 inches from the light with the light at the very top of the tent.

I feel like I got a pretty good pheno this time as the plant looks very strong and healthy with thick stems. I decided not to do much pruning and just let her grow and take everything as a learning experience. Will probably get a dehumidifier too later into flower since my big centrifugal fan is too much for my current situation. Sorry I didn’t include many things that pics during her youth. I wasn’t planning on making this a journal post, so I’ll do better next time. I’m excited to see the yield.

bend that girl out, aim for lateral movement to make a bigger canopy

I’ve currently got her back under the screen and bending as much as I can to keep height down and let some of the other colas make their way up.

When I ran the original SSH multiple times 20 years ago I did a lot of super cropping . If the Nirvana version is anything like the Greenhouse original it's gonna stretch 2-3x in flower .

I topped her @ Wk4 of vegetative growth, but 2-3x sounds kinda scary. She was ~18in tall when I started flowering, wasn’t expecting a 6ft tall plant, but that’s what it’s looking like it will be. What kind of light did were they getting? If outdoor, 2-3x stretch sounds about right.

Mine were under a 1000 watt MH and or a 430 watt HPS . They were quite capable of 6-7' , I had to keep up on training them . The smoke was quality though .
