Hello Growmies, As we step into week 15 of flowering with our Northern Lights by Zamnesia, the journey gets more intricate and exciting. Let's delve into this week's updates: Our Northern Lights star is proving to be quite finicky, especially with nutrient uptake. I've observed signs of lockout whenever the EC (Electrical Conductivity) level rises above 1.7. Thankfully, the pH levels are stable, so no concerns there. After some experimentation, I believe we've found her sweet spot at an EC of 1.5. This delicate balance is key to maintaining her health and vigor. Despite the challenges, she continues to develop beautifully. The buds are light yet densely packed with trichomes, creating a spectacular frosty appearance. It's truly a sight to behold as they cake up all around, showcasing the plant's remarkable genetic potential. One consequence of the recent nutrient lockouts is chlorosis, leading to a significant loss of leaves. It's a delicate phase where careful monitoring and adjustments are crucial to minimize further stress on the plant. The tent is now filled with a very sweet aroma, a delightful sign of the maturing buds. This scent not only signifies the quality of the buds but also adds an extra layer of enjoyment to our growing experience. Your continuous engagement and feedback are what make this journey so special. I look forward to reading your insights, questions, and tips. Your shared passion and knowledge are invaluable in navigating these complex stages of growth. Don't forget about the special discount code ZAMMIGD2023 at Zamnesia's online store. It's a great way to connect with fellow growers and enjoy quality products. Thank you for being with me on this adventure. Your support is a huge part of what makes this experience so rewarding. Stay tuned for more updates as we carefully guide our Northern Lights towards a successful harvest. Here's to healthy growth and aromatic buds!

EDIT - I have killed this grow. Some hermy has pollinated my entire grow, so decided to kill them off.

Week 2 · VEG We are now officially in Week 2 of VEG for the LSD girls. Growth is steady and healthy, leaning more toward controlled development rather than explosive speed — exactly what we want at this stage. This is one of those interesting cases where one sister received ~15 days of VEG, while the others are running 12/12 from seed, giving us a clear visual comparison under identical conditions. ⸻ 🌱 Plant Development & Observations • 15-day VEG sister • Already working on her first proper pair of true leaves • Leaf definition is exceptional • Very pronounced leaf outline and corner detailing • Strong, healthy green coloration • Compact, balanced structure so far • 12/12 sisters • Currently on their second pair of true leaves • First small, unshaped leaves are present • Followed by the two longer, well-defined leaves • New smaller leaves are now emerging (1–2 coming in) • Even the smallest plants show remarkable detail and symmetry Across all plants, leaf texture and definition really stand out — LSD is already showing her genetic character early. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment (Same as the rest of the room) • Temperature: ~28°C • Humidity: ~75% RH • Light Schedule: • Mixed approach • One plant with extended VEG • Others running 12/12 from seed ⸻ 💡 Light Intensity (PPFD) • Current PPFD: ~500–600 PPFD • This level is being maintained intentionally to: • Support healthy leaf development • Avoid stress on the younger 12/12 plants • Gradually prepare all plants for higher intensity later on This PPFD aligns with the progression board and keeps everything consistent across the documented runs. ⸻ 💧 Watering & Feeding Nutrient Line (Plagron): • Terra Grow • Power Roots • Pure Zym • Sugar Royal • Vita Race Solution Details: • pH: ~6.0 • EC / TDS: ~1.0 EC Same recipe, same logic, same controlled approach — consistency is the key here. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect • Continued leaf expansion and increased definition • The 15-day VEG sister will likely start to outpace structurally • 12/12 plants should keep stacking nodes slowly but steadily • Strong foundation building before any visible stretch 🚫 What Not to Expect (Yet) • No explosive vertical growth yet • No heavy feeding response required • No need to push PPFD higher at this stage Patience here pays off later. ⸻ 📝 Final Notes This week is all about detail, balance, and consistency. LSD is responding beautifully to the environment, and even at this early stage, the genetics are clearly expressing themselves through leaf shape, texture, and structure. Everything is right on track.

With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6000 (for now A6700 will be doing all future updates) paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

Tras 10 años cultivando en hidro con arlita (Dutch pot) nos pasamos al RDWC de fabricación propia. El sistema cuenta con 8 cubos para plantas y un deposito externo de almacenaje y trabajo, donde esta alojada la bomba de agua que impulsa a un enfriador y luego se reparte entre las macetas. Todo ese agua se recoge y vuelve al tanque por un tubo de 30mm de diámetro. El deposito cuenta con medidor continuo de EC y regulador PH con bomba dosificadora, Ambos de la marca Milwaukee El sistema cuenta con una bomba de aire de 8 salidas con piedras difusoras para cada una de las macetas. A ver que tal sale mi primer cultivo en este sistema. 💪

Do-Si-dos auto has grew well. She has a strong fruity, citrus aroma. Smells really good. The colas didn't get super big, but looked to be very frosty and dense. This is my first time trying this famous strain. It looks like it will be really good. I never had any huge issues during the grow. I also didn't juice her with nutes like I normally do to others in flowering. I am curious to test the results once I get her processed. Thank you Zamnesia seeds, Athena, and Medic Grow. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱❄️ Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

So this was the first week for the 1st clone clipping of pure ice cream. She looks pretty good like it will root, and make it. She will let me know for sure within this next week. Hopefully I caught part of the lighter color pigment mutation the mother plant had. 🤞🏻Thank you Pure Instinto seeds. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

: - Day 1 week 5: just checking how lst is doing, they will be ok - Day 2 week 5: not completely dry to water so I’ll wait for day 3 of week. Did lst to make sure all branches receive as much ligth as possible - Day 3 week 5: watered them with 4ml/L calmag and 2ml/L bio grow ph 6,5 tap water trough activated carbon filter. RHC#2 broke one of the branches, I had to tape it. Not to be worried, she’ll recover from that. RHC#3 is very slow compared to the others. - Day 4 week 5: defoliation so sun enters better and wait. - Day 5 week 5: added 1L of water with 2ml/L Bio grow, 6 ml/L calmag and 2ml/L bio heaven. 1600 us/cm and ph 6,2 - 6,5. RHC#3 suffered of broken branch due lst 😞 still learning about the flexibility of branches. I think she’ll recover hoping not too much stress for her. - Day 6 week 5: RHC#3 looks good despite broken branch. Not much for today just watch temp and humidity, hoping they grow tall so I can cover a good part of the tent. - Day 7 week 5: water with the usual calmag and biogrow ph 6,3. Defoliated every 3 days or so to keep light enter every branch

Alr guys, this banana was my first auto ever, I experimented with her a lot, did all type of mistakes, at first she was on a window getting not light at all, I move her to a different house 3 times, transplanted her like 4 times broke the rootmass, almost burned with nutrients and on top of everything I HST her like a mofo 😂 tried to mainlining but she overcome all my mistakes and thrive like a champ she was, beautiful sweet smell and taste even tho 80% of the buds were microwaved OMG im sorry for all but I learned a lot, need to try again with her with all the experience and proper equipment that i have now

Hey everyone, Starting some CBD seeds to go along with everything else growing. Kinda making the best of what I have available, small little pop up greenhouse. Got some solar powered fans and run the humidifiers on a timer depending on heat and what not. Looking to be doing good so far, weather is crappy right now but should be better later this week.

Orange pistols have started to show up but other then that nothing special happening , plants are starting to thicken up and still have many more weeks to go till harvest. Started to add some flora bloom to the feed to boost the finally product and increase the ppm because will the organic line I'm finding in it hard to get the ppm past 500.

week was good I ran in to some problems got nutrient deficiency and some burnig on my leaves. But I fixed that by doing a nice good rinse of straight water and than fer them some good olnutes and back to good. Smell is strong and funky so strong I finally ordered a carbon filter. If you like my diaries check out my Instagram for more pics.
