Weird germination process: I germinated two LSD but only one made it.
Germinated using the wet towel method, then planted with michoryzae powder as added boost.
There seems to be a light mutation with the leaves pattern and shape: we are now close to see true leaves and not one leaf is consistent or symmetric to another yet.
that aside she seems to be growing pretty well.
Don't know much about this strain and it will be my firs grow. excited to see this new strains behaviour.
Second grow week for the tent: the LSD25 have literally started doubling in size each 5 days.
Although the mutation still persists, I can see sets of true leaves sprouting all over.
Fort this grow I will not top any of this tent, but I will proceed with the usual tucking and eventually monster cropping depending from how the plant will be at that point in time whether the need may arise.
This week I introduced a sprinkle of MONSTERGROW from grotek just to kickstart them, and hopefully I will incorporate as a combo Superthrive as from next week: in my humble experience they work brilliantly together.
Great growth throughout since last week.
I started tieing down to promote lateral and side branches growth.
The light schedule was changed from 24/0 to 20/4 as I felt that I don't know my new led lights well enough to try this out as a first time. They are 6 times more powerful (allegedly) from my previous three small ones combined and I do look forward to seethe difference density and product once used at 100% capacity.
not so great week:
so, basically I fucked up and snapped the main cola while tieing her down to expose for extra bud sites.
The instant I saw it snapping I grabbed stick/tape/film combo and she was patched up and braced like nothing happened. I feared the worse for a sec as the whole top cola started wilting, but she was there all perky and sprung back when I put the lights back on.
by the end of the week the lady doubled or tripled in size and girth. I won't be touching or tieing her down after the scare from early week.
The light intensity was increased from 4 to 6/10 directly proportional to the slightly hotter feed solution.
I did notice that, probably due to the cola snapping shock and recovering, the plant has shifted to pre flower.
Things are gearing up in the tent.
She not only bounced back,, but she developed spears left and right as thick as the main cola.
the break seems seems to be mended and she is well into pre flower.
She is purple phenotype as far as I can see so I may introduce purpinator to enhance the purple all over.
BY the way: she stretched like crazy! 200% and going, yesterday I found that she grew 10cm past the lights.
All pictures are before and after for each plant.
Hi there guys,
So my issue here is the following:
growing auto flowers and specifically pertaining LSD25 on week 5/6, second week of flower almost.
she is 4/5 times taller than all others plants, and still stretching 5cm every day. can I supercrop it while in pre flower?
Supercropping cannabis, particularly autoflower strains like LSD25, can be a bit tricky due to their unique growing characteristics. Autoflowering plants have a predetermined lifecycle, which means they automatically switch from the vegetative to the flowering stage without a change in the light cycle. This makes the timing of stress techniques like supercropping very important.
Here's what you should consider when thinking about supercropping your LSD25 autoflower in its current stage:
Timing: Since your plant is already in the second week of flowering, it's generally considered late for supercropping. Autoflowers are less resilient to stress during the flowering stage, and supercropping at this time can potentially stress the plant too much, leading to reduced yields or other issues.
Plant's Natural Cycle: Autoflowers, including LSD25, typically have a shorter and more rigid lifecycle compared to photoperiod strains. This means they have less time to recover from stress before they need to focus energy on bud production.
Height Management: If height is your primary concern, there are other less stressful methods to manage it. These include:
Low Stress Training (LST): Gently bending and tying the branches to control the plant's shape and height.
Adjusting Light Placement: Raising your lights (if using grow lights) can sometimes encourage the plant to stop stretching upwards.
Risk vs. Reward: Supercropping an autoflower during the flowering stage carries a risk of stressing the plant too much, which could outweigh the potential benefits. If the plant is healthy and growing well, aside from the height issue, it might be better to avoid such high-stress techniques at this stage.
Well Well Well,
So much to say, so little time to say it.
Fist things first: we are now in a 8 x 8, which is a landmark upgrade in my path to learning all I can about cannabis. Larger growing space allows you to work freely, comfortably even. It was about time and long overdue.
Within 48 hours from being moved to the 8x8 each and every plant started to grow exponentially: the LSD25 had specially different circumstances. After the man stem snapped on week 3, I refrained from touching or training the mended stem and the rest of the plant. By the time I could train her she stretched 400% in 6 days. Fucking unreal. And all branches thickened up exponentially. I managed to train her on the last day of week 6 to even out those massive side colas. Also no point supercropping at this stage.
She is definitely going to be dark and purple as all bud sites are hyperpigmenting as we speak.
Now bathed in light by on all angles and with room to explode, I look forward to she how she does
Alright, it seems I am falling behind my updates here.
So much to say, so little time to say it.
I had few issues with humidity and temperatures which were solved by implementing the following:
- extra hour of darkness, without any temperature fluctuation
- added a big ass dehumidifier which actually improved electricity consumption by adding warm air (so little to no more heating), lowered humidity drastically keeping it at a constant 55/60% (saving on fan extractor now activating very sporadically) and last but not least I am developing a great closed loop irrigation system. I can now recycle up to 85% of the water I use for feeding by connecting the dehumidifier to my water reservoir, also assisting on a constant supply of ppm neutral water to use daily.
I lowered solution ppm, but added an extra feeding during the day (6 hours prior lights out)
Having used Grotek Monster Bloom has visibly improved bud development after 48 hours from use.
She somehow went into hyperdrive on week 5 (right after breaking the main cola0 and never stopped beefing up and stretching.
First things first: started using PH booster and purpinator for bud and terps development. Best idea ever! now the buds are darkening and being up exponentially. She undergone the second stretch, reaching over 160cm.
Classic indica structure with well shaped and defined bud sites, all developing incrementally from the top dow. The plant apex is showing a double bud formation which will likely merge into one single massive elephant dick sized pole of a cola if I keep on feeding it properly and consistently.
Terpenes: boy oh boy! this purpinator is the absolute tits. It took mere days for a great diesel/fruity/hazy patchwork of aromas to come out. I have also started to notice incrementally higher frosting on each bud site extending to all sugar leaves and minor fan leaves.
all in all I am very happy of the developments. I give her 3-4 more weeks.
From next week I will start using my canon camera to better capture how glorious she is growing.
Greetings, fellow growers! Let me share the latest progress of my LSD-25 Auto journey as I navigate through Weeks 9 and 10 of the grow cycle:
🌟 **Vibrant Bud Development**: My LSD-25 Auto plants have entered the final stretch of flowering, with buds reaching their peak size and density. The once-promising flowers have transformed into resin-coated colas, exuding the characteristic psychedelic aroma that hints at their potency. Trichomes are abundant, signaling the optimal cannabinoid profile and a potential journey into euphoric bliss.
📏 **Fine-Tuning Environmental Conditions**: As I approach harvest, my focus remains on fine-tuning environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, and airflow. By carefully managing these factors, I aim to create the perfect microclimate for my plants to thrive and produce their most potent and flavorful buds.
🍃 **Leaf Senescence and Nutrient Management**: In these late flowering stages, some leaves may naturally begin to senesce as the plant reallocates its resources towards bud production. This process is a natural part of the plant's life cycle and signals that harvest time is drawing near. Meanwhile, my nutrient regimen continues to be meticulously adjusted to ensure the plants receive the essential elements needed for robust flowering and resin production.
🔍 **Trichome Assessment for Harvest Readiness**: With harvest approaching, I'm closely monitoring trichome development to determine the optimal time for harvest. Using magnification tools, I inspect trichomes for signs of maturity, aiming for a mix of cloudy and amber trichomes to achieve the desired balance of cannabinoids and psychoactive effects.
🌞 **Preparation for Harvest**: As I prepare for the culmination of my LSD-25 Auto grow journey, I'm gathering the necessary tools and supplies for harvest day. Trimming shears, drying racks, and storage containers are being readied, while my workspace is meticulously cleaned and sanitized to ensure the preservation of my precious buds' integrity. Proper post-harvest care and curing techniques will be employed to enhance flavor, potency, and overall quality.
In summary, Weeks 9 and 10 mark the final stage of my LSD-25 Auto grow adventure, where careful attention to detail and precise cultivation practices pave the way for a bountiful harvest of potent, psychedelic buds. Stay tuned for the next update as I celebrate the culmination of my journey into the realm of LSD-25 Auto. Happy growing! 🌿✨
In the final week before harvesting my prized plant, I embarked on a meticulous process to bring out the best in its buds.
For three days, I lavishly watered my plant, allowing it to drink deeply and flush out any lingering nutrients. This gentle hydration served as a precursor to the plant's grand finale.
Following the watering period, I let my plant rest for two days, allowing it to dry naturally. During this time, the plant began to prepare itself for the impending harvest, shedding excess moisture and readying its buds for the next stage.
Then, with great ceremony, I moved my plant into a pitch-black, cold environment for two days. In this darkness, away from prying light, my plant worked its magic, channeling its energy into one final burst of resin production.
On the seventh day, it was time. With steady hands and a heart full of anticipation, I carefully snipped each branch, preserving the integrity of the precious buds. After the harvest, I left my plant to dry in a cool, humidity-controlled space.
As the days passed, my plant's buds transformed, developing rich aromas and flavors that hinted at their potential. With each passing moment, I grew more eager to experience the fruits of my labor.
In the end, the journey was worth it. From the nurturing care to the final moments of harvest, every step had led to this. As I savored the first taste of my meticulously grown and cured bud, I knew that my efforts had paid off in the form of a truly exceptional harvest.
