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.

Bloom Week 6 - Not sure why this platform doesn't allow tbsp measures. Anyways, this week they were fed with 1/2 tbsp of dry bloom fertilizer per gallon of soil. This is a half dosage and there will be no more feedings. If I do another run, I wouldn't use bloom booster as a supplement in week 5. An early feed perhaps if anything. There seems to be a little nutrient burns. There's also some fading coming through, which can be normal for this week.

So much stretching going on this week. I think we are just about done though. Which is good because I do not want to have to move the exhaust and all. Really upped the nutrients this week. Burned em just a tad but I think I found her sweet spot. 1300-1500 ppm. Seems strong but if I even go down to 1000ppm #3 starts getting yellow. Finally some nice flowers forming. Aromas are starting to fill the room when I open the tent each morning. I thought this was supposed to be an 8 weeks strain but I'm 17 days in and it's feeling more like a 10-11 week strain.

Both Barbarian (=AK-47 x Barbara Bud) plants have developed well and carry hefty top buds on each side branch and also the main cola. The lower regions also carry buds, but those are a little more fluffy and not so big and dense as the top buds. In total the two plants harvested 91,3 grams. Every bud is COVERED IN TRICHOMES and the plants glisten in the light, they are FROSTY AS HELL! The plants have a STRONG AROMA now, which is sweet and peachy with hints of sandalwood. They smell ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS and the dried weed carries the flavor of this aroma also in the smoke! VERY PEACHY! All in all I can only recommend this strain, its not the biggest yielder, but definitely delivers connoisseur grade weed. Hats off to Mat from House of the Great Gardener in Canada, he has made another GREAT cross and I hope he will release this variety soon! 👍😍😎.

Day 42 – the girls are deep into flowering now, and they're looking amazing. Buds are really starting to fatten up, and there's a noticeable frost forming on the sugar leaves and top colas. The smell is getting stronger too – sweet and fruity from the Zkittlez side, but with that strong, earthy undertone you’d expect from Gorilla Glue. Ive got some problems on the leaves because i forgot to water it . Stretch has pretty much stopped at this point. They've settled into full bloom mode and are putting all their energy into stacking. I did some light defoliation a few days ago to help with airflow and get light to the lower sites – seems to be working well. Feeding every 2–3 days now. Smell is picking up quickly. Can’t wait to see how frosty they get in the next week or two

Looking beautiful as she goes into the first week of flower. The temps have dropped to a reasonable level and get got some rain early in the week which was helpful. Then some days of sunshine. I was able to make another nice batch of tea this week. Looking forward to a harvest soon on the horizon!

😎 Weekly Update: The plant has growth to 70cm height at day 36 :) 🔪 Most of defoliation and lollipoping has been done - trying not to stress the auto too much. 🌹 LST Update: I do branch a day - so I began 5 branches training by now. Weekly thought 💭 : I think I do not know much about auto's - considering to do some HST, the upper leaves are really big, watery and makes a lot of shade. I took very little off. Do you think its ok to remove them all? 😮 Day 38 Update: She has grown 10cm / 4" in 48 hours. I hope she’s done stretching because I have no power left to lift my lights every other day 😷 Day 36: 69Cm/27.1" ---> Day 38: 79.5 Cm/31.3" 💥 🥊 First cloning attempt ever seem to be a success :) P.s She drinks almost a gallon per day - never seen anything like that before. Luckily I am using DWC otherwise I would never dare to water one gallon every day. See you next week - Stay tuned 💥 😝

Transplanted the girls into larger containers with fresh soil. The soil is a blend of Peat Moss one Perlite. I then mixed some older soil with the new Peat/Perlite blend. After the transplant I watered with Recharge to help get some healthy microbes starting to develop in the soil. The Baox clones did not make it, I threw them away and started some fresh seeds. The new seeds started are Blackberry, DinaMed and Cherry. It should be interesting to compare how these new seeds develop compared to the seeds that have struggled so far. I'm hoping to see some nice improvements over the next few weeks. Stay tuned...

Tiny pots are hard. She's not the prettiest lady but she's doing something.

Gorilla Cookies is at about 10 weeks now. A surprisingly small plant but still looks like it will be a couple of zip. Buds are quite frosty and I'm getting lots of autumn colours. Maybe another week see how she goes.

Big thanks to the homie @wicked_stix for providing me with this Masterpiece! One plant was grown in coco coir drain to waste with cropsalts other DWC also with Cropsalts. Hydro was neglected but ran itself for 3 weeks as a stand alone system. All in all got over 380gr running the light at 280w for the hydro setup full of frosty the ⛄️ type buds with tremendous sugary flavours ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
