LSD × Zamnesia — Week 6 From Seed
(Week 2 of Flower / Early Pre-Flower)
Quick recap for anyone just joining
We’re at Week 6 from seed, which we’re counting as Week 2 of flower. Plants were grown 12/12 from seed, with only leaf tucking and very light bending, no topping, no hard training, no defoliation so far. The goal with this run is maximum natural expression of the genetics, not shape enforcement.
This week marks the transition into pre-flower: stretch is active, structure is being decided, and the plants are still very much setting their architecture.

Room & Environmental Conditions (Stabilized This Week)
After some fluctuations earlier, conditions are now much more stable, and the plants are clearly responding well.
• Temperature: ~27.5 °C
• Humidity: ~65%
• CO₂: ~900 ppm
• PPFD: ~600–850
• Smaller plants: ~600–700
• Taller plants: up to ~800–850
• Plants are managing light by growing into the photons naturally
• Nutrients:
• Switched from Plagron Terra Grow → Terra Bloom
• Following the Plagron feeding schedule
• This was the only change made
• Watering:
• pH: 6.5
• EC: 2.4
• Root / Reservoir Temperature:
• ~17 °C (a bit on the cold side, acknowledged)
• Plants are adapting well and showing no negative response so far

Plant Observations — LSD × Zamnesia
Honestly… these girls look outstanding.
Even though LSD is often described as a more indica-leaning hybrid, these plants are expressing a strong sativa-style structure:
• Tall, upright growth
• Dominant central main stem
• Side branches present, but clearly secondary
• Very uniform behavior across all plants → strong genetic consistency
Each plant is showing roughly 12–14 nodes, with:
• Lower branches well developed
• Side branches about half the size of the main stem
• No signs that side branches want to overtake the main cola
This is important:
👉 this is not a training issue and not a phenotype split
All seeds are behaving the same way, which tells us this is genetic expression, not grower influence.
⸻
Training & Defoliation — Why We’re Doing Nothing
There has been:
• ❌ No topping
• ❌ No hard training
• ❌ No defoliation
Only:
• ✔️ Leaf tucking
• ✔️ Very light bending when needed
Why?
Because at this stage, we want to:
• Let the plants decide their final structure
• Observe whether this genetic wants:
• One dominant main cola
• With several secondary colas supported by under-canopy lighting
This run is about listening, not forcing.
And with under-canopy lights active, even those secondary branches are getting meaningful light, which should pay off later.
⸻
Where We Are Right Now
• Plants are still in pre-flower
• Stretch is ongoing
• Bud sites are forming, but structure is not finished
• Each plant is moving at its own rhythm, which is exactly what we want to see
This week is about stability, not intervention.
⸻
What to Expect Next Week (Week 3 Flower)
Here’s what’s likely coming:
• Stretch will continue, possibly peak
• Clearer confirmation of:
• Dominant main cola behavior
• Final spacing between nodes
• Pre-flowers will become more defined
• Still no rush to defoliate unless airflow becomes an issue
• Feeding stays consistent—no chasing, no stacking products
Next week is about watching, not reacting.

Final Thoughts
This marks a clean, confident Week 6 / Week 2 Flower checkpoint.
Environment is stable, nutrition is dialed, and the plants are clearly happy expressing themselves.

We’ve got much more coming as we move through the grow cycles. Trust me, you won’t want to miss the next steps, let’s push the boundaries of indoor horticulture together!
As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together.
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 A6700 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.
