🌸 Week 4 Flower Report: Growth, Challenges & Big Changes! 🌸 Hey, Grow Diaries Fam! ✨ We’re here at Week 4 of Flower, and what a week it’s been—packed with challenges, adjustments, and exciting progress! Before diving into the details, let’s start with a note on my flowering timeline. While this is Week 4, I don’t start counting flower days the moment I flip to 12/12. Instead, I wait for the plants to show true signs of bloom. It’s a small but significant distinction that keeps things accurate and aligned with the plants’ development. 🌱 Defoliation: Timing is Everything! Defoliation is a critical part of the flowering stage, and I typically wait until Day 21. However, this week, I tackled it earlier on Day 17 because: 1ļøāƒ£ The room was simply too full. 2ļøāƒ£ And most importantly—the Papaya Zoap had other plans! She’s a fighter—determined, defiant, and constantly reaching for the moon. Despite intense training like super cropping, she’s still pushing upward, nearly outpacing the LED lights. Challenges like this remind us of a simple truth: gardening mirrors life. It’s about resilience, adaptation, and unwavering determination. šŸ’Ŗ This week, I added a second SCROG layer. While this net will support the flowering colas, it’s also there to strategically manage the Papaya Zoap. Why? Because experience has taught me that if she grows out of the LED’s range, she won’t finish properly—and that could disrupt the balance for every other plant in the tent. It’s all about teamwork, even in the garden. 🌟 Defoliation was intense, removing nearly all the leaves with stems to clear space and boost airflow. The tent now looks dramatically different! For the full before-and-after transformation, be sure to check out my YouTube channel—trust me, you’ll want to see this process up close! šŸŽ„āœØ Switching to Aptus Holland Minerals A major milestone this week: I’ve transitioned entirely to Aptus Holland Minerals. 🌊 From now on, it’s just minerals—no more organic inputs. This marks the start of a new chapter, and I’m incredibly curious to see how the plants react to these changes. Here’s the current nutrient mix: • System Clean: 0.5 ml/L • Regulator: 0.15 ml/L • RO Water Conditioner: 0.8 ml/L • All-in-One Liquid: 2.1 ml/L I’m keeping the pH at 6.1 and TDS at 556 ppm, and so far, the plants are thriving. This week also included a thorough system clean, ensuring everything runs smoothly as we enter the final flowering stages. 🌿 Bud Development: Pure Magic! The bud formation across all the genetics is nothing short of incredible. Every plant is thriving, and the canopy is lush, vibrant, and full of potential. I’ve raised the PPFD to 750 for this stage, with temps steady at 25°C and RH at 63%—keeping the VPD dialed in at 1.11. The TrolMaster ecosystem, paired with the AutoPots, makes managing these precise conditions seamless. With more time to focus on the plants, I can give them the daily care they deserve. šŸ’š Shoutouts & Gratitude A huge thank you to my sponsors and supporters: TrolMaster, Aptus Holland, Pro-Mix, Cannakan, and the amazing seed banks. Your incredible products and technology make this journey possible. 🌟 To the Grow Diaries community and all my followers—thank you for your energy, love, and even the challenges from the haters. It all fuels this incredible process, and I apprecilove every bit of it. Special shoutout to Brother Daggadna—check him out on Instagram and show some love! šŸ’š The plants are heading into the next phase of bloom, and I can’t wait to share how this story unfolds. 🌸✨ As always, stay tuned, stay positive, and let’s keep growing strong together! šŸ™Œ Growers’ love to all šŸ’š #TrolMaster #AptusHolland #GrowLife #CannabisCommunity #FlowerWeek4 #NeverGiveUp #GrowWithLove #IndoorHorticulture #Defoliation #PPFD #ControlledEnvironment #SCROGNet #DogDoctorOfficial Discount Codes so you can save big on your next check out šŸ’ššŸ’ššŸ’š Kannabia - DOGDOCTOR 30% off SeedsmanSeeds - DOGDOCTOR 10% off CannaKan- DOGDOCTOR 15% off terpyz.eu - DOCTOR 15% off The Neutralizer - PORKIT5-DOG 15% off As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and so joyful with you all in my life šŸ™ā€Ø With true love comes happiness šŸ’ššŸ™ Always believe in your self and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart , be a giver and the universe will give back to you in ways you could not even imagine so šŸ’š Friendly reminder all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only Growers Love to you all šŸ’ššŸ’ššŸ’š P.S. – A Deep Dive into the ICL-300: Revolutionizing Under-Canopy Lighting The ICL-300 isn’t just another LED—it’s a game-changer for under-canopy lighting. Unlike traditional LED systems that project light in a single direction, the ICL-300’s 300-degree design ensures even light distribution beneath the canopy. 🌟 This unique feature means that no part of your plant is left in shadow, creating a balanced environment for lower buds to thrive. Key Tech Specs & Benefits: • 300-Degree Light Distribution: This design fills the under-canopy space with optimal light, enhancing photosynthesis where it often gets neglected. 🌱 • Full Spectrum Output: Tailored to meet the specific needs of plants at every stage, ensuring quality growth from base to apex. • Energy Efficiency: Advanced LED technology delivers maximum output with minimal energy usage, keeping costs down and sustainability up. šŸ’” • Durability & Heat Management: Built with high-quality materials, the ICL-300 stays cool and reliable, even in intense growing environments. Why It Matters: Under-canopy lighting is a game-changer for growers aiming to maximize yield and quality. Typically, lower buds receive less light, resulting in larfy or underdeveloped flowers. The ICL-300 changes that dynamic entirely by turning shadows into opportunity. 🌟 With light evenly dispersed across the entire plant, you’re not just growing; you’re sculpting a masterpiece. For me, the ICL-300 is more than a tool—it’s a partner in innovation. It ensures that every plant in my grow room has equal opportunity to shine, from the top colas to the smallest buds at the base. When paired with a carefully managed ecosystem, like the one powered by TrolMaster, the potential for consistent, top-quality harvests reaches new heights. This isn’t just about adding light—it’s about adding value, efficiency, and balance to the grow process. I’m beyond excited to see how the ICL-300 transforms the game in my tent, and I can’t wait to share the results with you all! šŸ’š

This week the GMO cookies started to bounce back fast an hard from the leaf strip. At the start of the week all 3 girls got 1tsp of grow an bloom from roots organic dry amendments along with a feed of elemental at every watering at 1/4tsp per gallon of RO water. Add half 1/4tsp of dynomyco to the water also for some of that extra root support. Other then that slight adjustment on the tie downs an just letting the one on the right side just do her thing. Thanks for viewing an happy growing mates!

LSD Zamnesia Tripping šŸ™‚ | Fresh Frozen, Ice Water & Temple Balls — Week 16 From Seed First of all… Yes šŸ˜„ We are once again dividing the harvest reports into multiple chapters, and once again we apologize for that. But honestly, there was simply no way to fit: * harvest, * drying, * trimming, * curing, * smoke review, * macro photography, * fresh frozen work, * washing, * extraction, * and hash making… …into a single GrowDiaries update without rushing through important parts of the process. And this part? This part deserved its own spotlight completely. Because this week was not about flower anymore. This week was about resin. Living resin. Fresh frozen material. Ice water extraction. Patience. Cold temperatures. Sticky hands. And slowly transforming trichomes into beautiful hash. For everyone joining only now, quick recap: These LSD girls were grown under 12/12 from seed from the very beginning. Minimal training, mostly natural structure, gentle leaf manipulation, and environmental balance instead of aggressive intervention. Part of the harvest was dried traditionally and already covered in the previous report. But another part… …never got dried at all. Straight during harvest, selected flowers were removed fresh from the plants and immediately vacuum sealed before going directly into the freezer. No drying. No curing. No waiting. Fresh frozen. And that changes everything. The goal here is preservation. When flowers are frozen immediately after harvest, a large portion of the volatile compounds: * terpenes, * flavonoids, * aromatic compounds, * and delicate resin characteristics… …can remain much closer to their living state compared to traditionally dried material. This is why fresh frozen extraction became so respected in modern hash making. It captures a version of the plant that only exists for a very short moment in time. Alive. Wet. Fresh. Fully expressed. And honestly? Opening those frozen bags weeks later felt like reopening harvest day itself šŸ˜„ The flowers still looked incredibly resinous even after sitting frozen for weeks waiting for wash day. Now let’s talk process. For the wash itself, we used the Bubbleator machine courtesy of Zamnesia , and honestly huge thanks to them for providing it. They knew I wanted to start exploring ice water extraction properly, and they were kind enough to support the journey. The setup itself is actually beautifully simple. First: ice. Lots of ice šŸ˜„ The machine was filled partially with ice first before adding the fresh frozen material inside the working bag. The flowers themselves were placed inside a closed 220-micron washing bag. This is important because the bag keeps the plant material contained while still allowing the trichome heads to separate during agitation. After placing the material inside: * more ice on top, * cold water added, * everything submerged, * and then… …we waited. Around 30 minutes or so. And this step is actually extremely important. A lot of people think washing starts when the machine turns on. But honestly? The wash starts before that. This resting phase allows the frozen material to: * slowly rehydrate, * absorb water again, * become fully saturated, * and most importantly… * become extremely cold throughout the entire plant material. Why does this matter? Because trichomes become brittle at very cold temperatures. The colder everything gets: * the easier the resin heads separate, * the cleaner the release becomes, * and the less physical force is required. That is also why ice exists under and above the material: * lower temperatures evenly, * protect the resin, * and maintain the cold environment throughout the wash. Once the water temperature approached near freezing… …the machine came alive šŸ˜„ And honestly? Watching the water slowly transform during the wash is always magical. At first: just ice, water, and flowers. Then slowly: foam, cloudiness, resin separation, and finally that beautiful milky golden water hash makers love seeing appear. Meanwhile on the side, we prepared the filter bags. We did not use every single micron separation individually because honestly sometimes over-separating becomes unnecessary depending on goals and material quality. Instead, we focused on collecting the grades we actually wanted to work with and enjoy. And then came one of the most satisfying parts of the entire process: Collection šŸ˜„ Slowly lifting the bags. Watching the resin gather. Carefully scraping. Separating grades. Observing texture and color differences. Beautiful creamy resin everywhere. Some lighter. Some slightly darker. Some sandy. Some greasy. Every layer carrying slightly different characteristics. After collection, the resin was carefully freeze-dried. And this part also requires patience. First freeze drying. Then breaking it apart. Then more drying. Then more waiting šŸ˜„ Depending on environment and conditions, full drying can take several days because trapped moisture inside hash is dangerous long term. Rushing this step can ruin months of work later. In this case, the process stretched closer to about a week before everything felt properly stable and ready to work. And honestly… This is where the magic really started. Once dry enough, we allowed the hash to rest briefly before beginning the hand-working process. No extreme heat. No giant pressure. No fancy machinery. Just: room temperature, body warmth, gentle pressure, folding, rolling, stretching, and patience. The room itself stayed around 15°C, which turned out to be perfect for working the resin slowly without overheating it. And this step matters far more than many people realize. When hand-working hash properly: * oils redistribute, * compounds begin merging, * terpenes spread through the material, * oxidation starts slowly, * texture evolves, * and curing begins transforming the resin itself over time. You are not simply ā€œrolling hash.ā€ You are starting a living curing process. And slowly… The texture changed completely. From sandy loose resin… to creamy material… to sticky dough… to smooth beautiful temple balls. Honestly, seeing that transformation happen in your hands never gets old šŸ˜„ Final result? Three temple balls total: * two smaller ones from smaller micron collections, * and one large main temple ball that became the true star of the session. Final weight: 46.5 grams.( big one ) And honestly? I was extremely happy with that result. Especially considering the quality, texture, color, and how beautifully this LSD washed overall. Once formed, the temple balls were wrapped carefully in parchment paper before being vacuum sealed for long-term curing. And now? They rest. Months. Maybe longer. Waiting. Because the goal here is not ā€œfresh hash.ā€ The goal is evolution. Traditional temple ball style curing allows: * oils to redistribute, * compounds to merge, * texture to transform, * aroma to deepen, * and the entire resin profile to mature over time. Almost like aging wine. Or curing cheese. Or fermenting traditional products slowly and intentionally. This is medicine with patience built into the process. And honestly… That part alone deserves respect. We also included: * detailed process photos, * collection stages, * macro photography, * texture closeups, * curing progression, * and multiple stacked macro images showing the resin in insane detail. Some of these stacks reached: * 62 frames, * 87 frames, * 114 frames, * and even 152-frame focus stacks. Because honestly, hash under macro magnification becomes another universe completely. The textures stop looking real. Tiny resin mountains. Oil rivers. Micro-crystals. Glossy surfaces. Soft creamy structures. It almost starts looking geological instead of botanical šŸ˜„ Mr. Baggy of course supervised the entire operation like the professional resin inspector he clearly believes he is. And next week… The final chapter arrives. Smoke review. Curing review. Flower review. Hash review. Terpene evolution. Effects. Textures. Lessons learned. Mistakes made. And final thoughts after this entire LSD journey from seed to cured medicine. And finally… Thank you. To Zamnesia for the genetics and the Bubbleator. To Plagron. To F.O.G. To all the LEDs, gear, and equipment involved. To GrowDiaries. To the community. To the OG followers. To the new curious visitors. To the silent supporters. To the skeptics. To the lovers and even the haters šŸ˜„ To everyone spending time sharing this strange beautiful plant journey with us. Wishing everyone: cold water, sticky fingers, healthy plants, beautiful resin, and enough patience to let good hash become great hash 🌱

Smells like new shoes lol I think I made a decent haul off 315 Watts the buds look frosted and I can’t wait to dry some. I knew what to expect in the coming weeks and if I run this again I think I’ll keep the plants shorter like last time. Highly recommend this Indica strain to anymore looking to make dry ice hash or solvent less! I’ll do the weigh in shortly0

Die Pflanze entwickelt sich insgesamt sehr kräftig und vital. Nach 24 Tagen habe ich sie über der fünften Nodie getoppt. Die Triebe der ersten Nodie wurden zuvor entfernt, sodass sich die Energie gezielt auf die oberen Strukturen verteilen konnte. Einige Tage nach dem Topping habe ich mit dem Low Stress Training begonnen, um die Seitenarme gleichmäßig auszurichten. Beim Umtopfen in den finalen 25-Liter-Topf habe ich dem Substrat Green House Feeding Bio Grow mit einer Dosierung von 2 g pro Liter Erde beigemischt. Trotz dieser vergleichsweise moderaten Düngemenge zeigt die Pflanze leichte Anzeichen einer Überdüngung. Da bis zum Beginn der Blüte keine weiteren Nährstoffe hinzugegeben werden, ist davon auszugehen, dass sich dies im Laufe der Zeit von selbst reguliert und keinen nachhaltigen Einfluss auf die Entwicklung haben wird. Durch das Topping über der fünften Nodie und das Entfernen der untersten Triebe verfügt die Pflanze aktuell über acht stabile Seitenarme. Diese werden konsequent per LST bis an den Rand des Zeltes trainiert, um eine gleichmäßige Flächenverteilung und eine optimale Lichtausnutzung zu erreichen.

🌸 GrowDiaries Update — Week 11 (Week 7 Flower) Permanent Marker Pheno #1 & #2 — Flower Week 7 Here we are again, my dear growers — week 11 from seed, and what a journey it’s been! Our two beautiful phenos continue to show their individual personalities: Pheno #1, the tall dreamer, still reaching for the moon; and Pheno #2, the compact queen, steady and strong in her deep greens. Both are truly thriving, expressing themselves with grace and power. 🌱 Quick Recap – From Seed to Now From the very first sprout to now, this grow has been a journey of observation, learning, and connection. We’ve seen perfect germination, vigorous vegetative growth, stunning branching, and a seamless transition into flower. We’ve tested light, temperature, airflow, and nutrition — keeping everything balanced with the organic Aptus program (Regulator, Top Booster, and CalMag), letting the soil and biology do their magic. ✨ This Week’s Focus — Trichomes, Terpenes & Color Explosion At week 7 of flower, nature begins to paint. Trichomes are swelling and clouding — a forest of frost starting to shimmer under the lights. Terpenes are coming alive, with rich, layered aromas filling the room: sweet, pungent, spicy, earthy. You can almost taste what’s to come. Flavonoids and anthocyanins are starting to express beautifully, especially on Pheno #1, which is showing the first touches of purple hues. Meanwhile, Pheno #2 remains loyal to her deep emerald tones — dense, resinous, and classic. ā˜€ļø A Note on Light & Albino Tops Our big mama (Pheno #1) is stretching so close to the LED panel that her top is showing a touch of albinism — a bright, pale glow caused by intense light exposure. It’s not a problem; in fact, it adds a touch of uniqueness to her look. These light-stressed tops can sometimes develop special trichome patterns, and it’s fascinating to observe. A gentle reminder that even perfection has its quirks. šŸŒ”ļø Garden Conditions Temperature: High but stable with the AC in control. Humidity: Balanced despite the season’s challenges. Airflow: Excellent — a full dance of air and photons. Health: Exceptional. No bud rot, no major stress, just pure thriving energy. šŸŒ Community & Gratitude The Dognabis Cup is in full bloom! Packages have arrived, diaries are opening, and the community is alive with creativity and inspiration. Let’s keep sharing, learning, and lifting each other up — because to grow is to share, and to bloom is to connect. Massive gratitude to our sponsors and supporters: Zamnesia Seeds, Ocogenectica Seeds, Aptus Holland, ThinkGrow, Future of Grow, Skunk Magazine, FOG, Grovebags, DaggaDNA, Popeyes Passion, Imperial Seeds,the cannakan and TrolMaster — and of course, to GrowDiaries, to the growers, the dreamers, the lovers, and yes, even the haters. You’re all part of the story, and that’s what makes it real. šŸ’š 🌼 What’s Next? Week 8 ahead — trichomes will turn cloudy, aromas will peak, and the girls will start signaling when they’re ready for their grand finale. We’ll talk harvest timing, resin maturity, and flushing techniques as we approach the end of this beautiful cycle. Until then — let the garden sing. 🌿 **THE DOGNABIS CUP OFFICIALLY STARTED** ā° @everyone**The Dognabis Cup** is an independent, community-driven virtual competition designed to bring people together, celebrate and share the passion for cultivation.
