❄️ The Frozen Archive #2 | LSD From Fresh Frozen to Temple Ball Hello GrowDiaries family! 👋❄️🌱 Welcome back to The Frozen Archive. For those joining the journey for the first time, this series follows our exploration of fresh frozen material, ice & water extraction, solventless concentrates, curing techniques, and everything that happens after harvest. If you would like a complete introduction to the Bubbleator machine, fresh frozen material, and the fundamentals of ice & water extraction, I highly recommend checking out The Frozen Archive #1, where the entire process is explained in detail. This entry focuses on a specific genetic: LSD by Zamnesia. And what a beautiful plant she was. For anyone curious about her journey from seed to harvest, the complete cultivation diary is available on my profile. This report picks up where that story ended. The flowers were harvested. The material was preserved as fresh frozen. And now it was finally time to see what LSD had to offer through ice & water extraction. ⸻ A New Wash, A New Lesson Although this is only the second entry in The Frozen Archive, this extraction actually represents my third wash using the Bubbleator machine. The first archive introduced the machine and documented my first experiences. This time I approached the process with a little more confidence, a little more understanding, and a lot of curiosity about how LSD would perform. One of the goals of this series is not simply to show the results. It is to document the learning process itself. The successes. The mistakes. The observations. The improvements. And hopefully create a useful archive for both the community and my future self. ⸻ The Material Unlike trim runs, this extraction was performed using fresh frozen flowers. Entire buds were harvested, frozen immediately, vacuum sealed, and preserved until extraction day. By freezing the material directly after harvest we aim to preserve as much of the plant’s original profile as possible before beginning the washing process. Months of cultivation eventually lead to this moment. The plant changes form. But the journey continues. ⸻ The Wash The process itself follows the same methodology introduced in Archive #1. The Bubbleator was loaded with: ? Ice 🌿 Fresh frozen LSD flowers 💧 Cold water The flowers were placed inside a properly secured 220-micron wash bag, positioned inside the machine, covered with additional ice, and submerged in water. From there the machine could begin its work. One thing that quickly becomes obvious is how important temperature control is. Throughout the wash I monitored the water carefully and aimed to keep conditions as close to 0°C / 32°F as possible. Cold temperatures help maintain trichome integrity and improve separation during agitation. Patience becomes one of the most important tools in the room. ⸻ Watching The Transformation One of my favorite moments remains watching the water change. At first everything appears clean and transparent. Then gradually the water begins taking on a different appearance as trichomes and plant material enter suspension. The Bubbleator quietly continues its work while the ice maintains the environment. And while the machine washes… Well… The grower medicates. 😄🌱 Some traditions are important. ⸻ Collection & Multiple Washes Once the cycle was complete, the water was drained through the filtration bags. This is where the magic becomes visible. The resin that was previously attached to the flowers begins collecting inside the bags. The first collections looked extremely promising. As always, multiple washes were performed. Each wash tells a slightly different story. Eventually there comes a point where the material being collected becomes noticeably greener and contains more contamination than desired. That is usually the signal that the best material has already been recovered. At that point it is time to stop chasing quantity and preserve quality. ⸻ Freeze Drying… Dog Doctor Style After collection, the resin was transferred for drying. This particular batch spent approximately five days drying in the freezer before reaching the condition I was looking for. Once sufficiently dry, the material was broken apart and worked into smaller pieces to increase surface area. It then spent additional time drying before the next stage could begin. The goal is always the same: Remove moisture. Preserve quality. Remain patient. ⸻ Working The Resin This is where things become truly enjoyable. Once dry, the resin was carefully worked and mixed together. The purpose is not simply aesthetics. The goal is to create a more homogeneous material where everything is evenly distributed. The process requires patience. Heat from the hands. Gentle pressure. Time. Slowly the texture begins changing. The colors become more uniform. The material becomes increasingly workable. And eventually… The temple ball begins to emerge. ⸻ Temple Ball Formation Watching loose resin transform into a temple ball never gets old. What begins as dry collected material slowly becomes something completely different. A smooth surface develops. The texture evolves. The appearance changes dramatically. And suddenly the extraction takes on a form that has been used for generations. This batch produced a beautiful temple ball with excellent visual appeal and impressive characteristics. ⸻ The No-Oxygen Cure Experiment This entry also begins a long-term experiment. Part of the material was placed inside parchment paper, sealed inside a vacuum bag, and stored without oxygen. The objective is simple: Observe. Learn. Compare. How will the resin evolve? How will the aroma develop? How will the texture change? Will it butter? Will it remain stable? Will the temple ball age differently? Only time will answer those questions. For now the material continues resting. And we will return in a future entry to see where that journey leads. ⸻ Early Impressions Although the cure is far from complete, early signs are extremely encouraging. The material melts beautifully. The bubbling behavior is exactly what I hoped to see. The aroma remains rich and complex. And after a quick three-week check on the vacuum-cured material, everything appears to be moving in the right direction. Now comes the hardest part. Waiting. ⸻ Looking Ahead This is not the end of the LSD story. This is simply the beginning of its next chapter. The temple ball continues curing. The vacuum-sealed resin continues curing. And in a few months we will return to compare the results and see how time has transformed the material. For now, I am extremely happy with the outcome and excited to continue learning. That is ultimately what The Frozen Archive is all about. Learning. Documenting. Improving. And sharing the journey. ⸻ P.S. A huge thank you to Zamnesia for the LSD genetics and for the Bubbleator machine that made this exploration possible. And a special thank you to Plagron for supporting the cultivation side of this project. The LSD plant documented here was grown from seed to harvest using the Plagron lineup, including Terra Grow, Terra Bloom, Pure Zym, CalMag Pro, Green Sensation, Power Buds, Power Roots, and Sugar Royal. The flowers became fresh frozen. The fresh frozen became resin. And now the resin begins its cure. Everything is connected. Grower’s Love everyone. 🌱💚❄️📚

Frisian Dew and Shaman are doing splendidly in the larger pots, a success story so far. FD and Shaman in the garden soil are a little behind, but are continuing to develop. Slugs and snails remain a problem, especially after these rainy weeks. Durban Poison from regular seed; a failure so far, perhaps they need the warmer climate in the polytunnel that is being set up. So far I have seen some male Durban Poisons, but which ones are definitely female? It remains exciting. Breeding is different from growing.

Que pasa familia, actualizamos ya la quinta semana de crecimiento de las Purple OG Kush de Dutchfem. El crecimiento fluye sin parones el color que tiene es bastante correcto las 3 en general se ven muy similares, misma altura misma formación. Ya vamos viendo cómo progresan quiero pasarlas a floración ya. Spannabis 2023 a sido increíble ya tengo ganas de que se haga el año que viene porque la de 2020 me quede con muchísimas ganas, conocí a muchas gente del sector que ya conocía por redes pero por fin nos ponemos caras, y lo dicho increíble la innovación de los productos , las genéticas que se llegan a ver, y los stands pfffff, de 10. Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Mars hydro: Code discount: EL420 https://www.mars-hydro.com/ Las maximas de temperatura no superan los 25 grados y las mínimas no bajan 19, así que no me puedo quejar. Los niveles de humedad también son los correctos van entre 50%/65% de humedad relativa. Por supuesto el Ph lo estamos dejando alrededor de 6. Hasta aquí es todo, buenos humos 💨💨💨

Almost finished. A few more weeks to go. Just bulking up now. They are smelling realllllly strong. I love the way they smell growing organically. Nothing else like it. No more feeding these girls just watering every few days until harvest. Might try the molasses trick if anyone has had experience with it let me know in the comments. I'd love some feedback on how to do it or if its even beneficial at all. Thanks for following!

She’s almost done. AT this point I have 30% amber tricks I’m looking to get it in between 40% And 50% so I’m going to keep checking everyday until I get it just where I want it.

Bit more progress this week. I feel it is slow growing for whatever reason. Hopefully she will pick up in the coming weeks.

Frosty !! And Dark ! Going to def regrow under stronger lights

Nice growing, the yield to time ratio is weaker than in the case of automatic strains, maybe it is also due to some stressful factors. but the power is huuuge. Sticky fingers ☀️😉😄 thanks to all teachers

A new week for the lady starr fedding her with high p nutrient

Nothing to do but watch and maintain environment.

The plants have limited space and are in 4 litre pots too keep them controlled. This week I defoliated again and started adding sugar royal.

"everything's gonna be allright" 😍 Hello my friends, here are my ladies in a fantastic bloom phase 😍 Canna Nutrient and Atami Soil works really good for my experience, i think i use the same for the next one because i'm shure is a winning solution 😍 On the buds, crystal are more and more and more day by day..the size is going on, from the morning to the evening i can see the difference between. Amazing, i can't say nothing else. give me your impressions, if u want 🙏 Green is the way.. The best for all, Omisan

Today I have collected everything, removed the leaves for sunbathing and put aside the sugary leaves. 501 grams total, excluding the 181 of the bowl in which they barely fit. I emptied 7 jars. I am quite satisfied, considering that they grew in a 120x120 box with a 150w led lamp, which proved to be exceptional! Viparspectra P1500. a real beauty, as soon as I can I take another one, certainly from the XS series! bestial, and it doesn't even cost that much. today day 1 of drying in a wedryer .... it is not a little stuff, but there was just right. the final review of this trip soon, yeah! ____________________________________________________________________________________ 📜👀 A look at the details of what I'm growing 👀📜 ✌️Dos-si-Dos 33✌️ 🌞🚜 Barney's Farm 🚜🌞 📋 Details 📋 ⚧ Gender ▪️ Feminised ➰ Genes ▪️ 60% Indica / 40% Sativa 🎄 Genetics ▪️ Dos Si Dos x Gelato #33 🚜Harvest ▪️ 800 g/m² 🌷Flowering ▪️ 60 - 65 days ✨THC ▪️28.0% ✅CBD ▪️ N/D 🏡Room Type ▪️ Indoor 🌄Room Type ▪️ Outdoor 🕋Room Type ▪️ Greenhouse 🎂Release Year ▪️ 2019 ________________________________________________________________________________ 👀📷🥇 Follow the best photos on instagram 🥇📷👀 https://www.instagram.com/dreamit420/ 🔻🔻🔻Leave a comment with your opinions if you pass by here🔻🔻🔻 🤟🤗💚Thanks and Enjoy growth 💚🤗🤟

This plant is thriving in its 3rd week of vegetation—it’s growing very healthy and strong!🌱 I’ve applied some Light Stress Training (LST) to ensure all parts of the plant are receiving equal light exposure, and it’s responding beautifully. Midway through the week, I noticed the first signs of flowering! This plant is transitioning into bloom faster than expected, which is really exciting. It seems eager to show what it’s capable of. Now, I’m looking forward to seeing how it handles the stretch phase—I can’t wait to watch it shoot up and develop further.😊

Purple Hints & Tent Transitions 🌸🌿 Week 4 of flower has arrived for my big Red Hot Cookies, and she’s now two weeks into her new life under the LED lights. After battling unpredictable weather out on the balcony, I made the call to bring her inside—and honestly, I don’t regret it one bit. The transition may have slowed her down a little, but it’s a much safer bet than letting her face another round of rainy chaos. 🌧️☔ She shares the tent with two Divine Seeds autos from the contest, so the light schedule remains at 16/8, which isn’t ideal for photoperiod flowering—but I’m curious to see how she handles it. Despite the slightly delayed bud development, I’m seeing some beautiful structure forming and her leaves have started to take on those signature purple hues. 🍇💜 Here’s her care routine this week: 🔸 Fed with BioBizz Grow, CalMag, BioBizz Bloom and BioBizz Top-Max 🔸 Effective Microorganisms to keep the soil biology strong 🔸 A dose of homebrewed compost tea midweek 🔸 Silica foliar spray was stopped when flowering began 🔸 pH: 6.5 🔸 EC: 2.2 mS/cm I also did a round of lollipopping on day 21 (July 10th), and she’s stayed nice and airy underneath since then. Still waiting for the upper buds to really start packing on weight, but there’s plenty of time—and I’m loving the color shifts and her elegant frame. Let’s see what the next few weeks bring as she fully settles into bloom under the tent glow. 🌞✨

20/08/2025 15:30 Lower video quality,sorry it's not my phone My friend came to the spot and gave 2l of just water each pot,i can't because i'm on vacation right now Gorilla z smell now becoming stronger and buds bigger Frostbanger are now forming good size buds and the smell Is likes a gassy one Apricot auto officially in flower It will be the one with minor production Coco Milk Is stretching with very good plant structure even if It did an "autolst" 2 Coco fresh growing good they will stay small so i planted in the same pot Daylight now officially under 14 hours,the photoperiodic ones Will start blooming soon This week Rain and storm Is coming with an enormous amount of water New videos maybe on 26 o 27 August Smoking piattella grape gas 90u right now,always fullgas 🔥🔥🔥

These Autos have grown like crazy but i've made a rookie mistake!!! I've been using Plant Magic Soil Supreme along with their Old Timers Organic Nutes and the recommened feeding chart. Week 1 i just gave the plants water, on week 2 i gave them 2ml per liter of nutes and as recommended this week i have given them 3ml per liter. The next day after watering with 3ml per liter i noticed slight nute burn marks on the FastBuds BlackBerry so i've flushed the pot with PH nuteral water and it has seemed to stopped the burning. I've dropped the nutes back down to 2ml per liter and they seem much happier! I've been planning on LSTing the plants next week but when i watered the plants today on day 19 i have noticed little pistills as shown in the photos above so i may LST sooner. As ive said this is my first grow so does anyone have any advice when it comes to LSTing my plants? Happy Growing!
