Day 77 from seed She started to drink less, about 3 liters a day. 0 fade. Another 2 or 3 weeks and she be done. This one is taking her time. Day 80 from seed: Reduced canna nutes to 50% Removed big bud nutes from res. Next week i will stop all nutes and lower ppfd + temp. Also i will turn on the 440nm in a week for tri production. 0 fade 0 amber trichomes.

Ill upda

Primera semana en la que se ve una mejoría en general de las plantas. Me hubiese gustado anotar aquí el día de germinación y transplante a tierra, datos a considerar.

End of week 7 Last 2-3 days crystals/sugar leaves started appearing slowly. i have added another 125 Watt CFL for extra supplemental light . Breeder says plant needs 65-70 days from seed. Thats like 20 days more for the buds to get as big as possible. cant wait for this week to check these buds stay tuned :)

Octava semana de floracion, continua el engorde de los cogollos, me pase con los nutrientes a principios de la floracion, pero me di cuenta a tiempo y he salvado la cosecha. La proxima vez será mejor. 📅 Dia 50: Riego con nutrientes EC 450, necesito que se aclare un poco mas. 📅 Dia 51: Descanso 📅 Dia 52: Riego con nutrientes EC 950 📅 Dia 53: Descanso 📅 Dia 54: Riego con nutrientes EC 450, se va quedando limpia, lo noto en el color de las hojas. 📅 Dia 55: Descanso 📅 Dia 56: Riego con agua EC 450

Day 10 Of 12-12, defoliated 75% of canopy will leave untouched until day 21 Flower. Running 1250 ppms of cropsalts, light dimmed to 75% @15-18” of canopy

Ich war die letzte Woche kaum daheim und die Pflanze hat mir das auch direkt gezeigt. Es ist eh Zeit zum umtopfen, also hab ich mich dazu entschieden. Sie sitzt in 25l CANNA TERRA PROFESSIONAL mit Biotabs.

Looks good

this is week 5. will make fem pollen from this genetics and seeds. crossing with the queen to make AU79. both bridals very strong. this is very very special, already showing me extreme trics in veg. will veg max time 15-20 weeks. I had issues with neglecting my ph, too nigh causing k issues, not phing down, added a few drops b+ nutrient and will be good with my ph. My rh lowest was 23%, so added more red romaine lettuce seeds, dill to grow so I am not wasting my light. It is dimmed to 60% only CW diodes on, NW IR R UVA are off. Only controlling cool white diodes for veg. More red longer wavelengths light for flower, along with uv. Everything is good, extremly positive with this grow! 2 queens on the right topped

The struggle is real as we continue limping to the finish line... A few more feedings this week and then on to the flush. Struggles aside, she smells great and is packing on. Photos/video taken 119 days after breaking soil, day 42 of flower.

Seeing lots of good development, Pineapple Express is almost there! I went ahead and defoliated the light bleached leaves, trichomes are getting more cloudy. Spotted a few amber trichomes but not many... update- varies by bud. Trich’s appear mostly cloudy to me. Looking at harvesting maybe mid-week next week... 5 more days or so... maybe sooner if trichomes becomes more amber! Super excited to see how this Pineapple Express turns out! Went ahead and clipped the bud off her that had been pollinated, she was starting to open up some of the seed pods. Seeds look fully developed and are quite dark. Tester bud had a few seeds in it but not outrageously so, only a few. Berry white is trucking along, lots of trichome development this week but buds still don’t seem to be swelling much. Smell coming off this little plant is fantastic!

This week repot to 3L and change spectrum

As the plant enters the fifth week of flowering, the first trichomes have begun to form. The buds have started to thicken considerably during this week. They are becoming denser and more robust, which indicates that the plant is channeling its energy into producing larger, more resinous flowers. Throughout the growth process, the cannabis plant has shown no signs of health issues. It has remained vigorous and resilient, with no observable deficiencies or diseases. To ensure optimal light penetration and airflow, the plant was lightly defoliated this week. The cannabis plant is progressing well in its fifth week of flowering. The formation of trichomes, the thickening of buds, and the plant's overall health are all promising indicators of a successful flowering phase.

Well, what can I say. She’s a beast. No nutrient deficiencies that I can see, leaves all seem green and healthy. Nute balance, PPMS and PH is dialled in, staying at around 1000 TDS 0.7. That’s not a typo, she’s drinking 7 litres/2 gallons per day. I think she’s doubled her size in 7/8 days. She’s a bit bushy, as I’ve been really busy this last week I haven’t been able to defoliate. Nutes remain the same, slight decrease in nitrogen going into week 2 of flower.

Die Pflanze wächst richtig super. Anhand der Blattfarbe und der Blatthaltung erkennt man dass es der Pflanze richtig gut geht. Tag 38: - Einleitung Blüte - Erste Blütedüngung

Que pasa familia, vamos con la cosecha de estas Gorilla Zkittlez Auto de FastBuds. Por dónde empezar, es una autofloreciente que es normalita de cultivar, tiene un periodo corto de crecimiento y de floración igual no es largo, o igual tendría que haberla dejado alguna semana más no entiendo bien. En cuanto a la alimentación , pues la aplique una vez por semana y a sido suficiente, se a comportado bien en interior, la flor pues no es muy prieta porque no deja de ser una autofloreciente, pero es una flor que va repleta de tricomas. El periodo de luz pues de principio a fin a 18 horas, fue suficiente para completar el ciclo de vida como esperaba.

# The Frozen Archive #1 ❄️📚 ## First Steps Into Ice & Water Extraction | Unboxing, First Washes & New Beginnings Hello GrowDiaries family! 👋❄️🌱 Welcome to the very first entry of a new series that I have wanted to start for a long time. Today we begin The Frozen Archive. This series will follow our journey through fresh frozen material, ice & water extraction, solventless concentrates, curing experiments, storage methods, and everything that happens between harvest and the final product. The goal is simple: To create an honest archive that allows both the community and myself to follow the evolution of these extractions over time. Some entries will focus on specific genetics. Others will focus on techniques, equipment, observations, and experiments. This first entry is all about beginnings. And like many beginnings, it starts with learning. --- ## A Huge Thank You To Zamnesia Before anything else, a huge thank you to Zamnesia for providing the Bubbleator machine and for making this new chapter possible. The machine arrived extremely well packaged and protected. Everything inside the box was carefully wrapped and secured, ensuring that every component arrived in perfect condition. Alongside the machine were accessories, filtration bags, instructions, and everything required to begin exploring the world of machine-assisted ice & water extraction. As someone who has performed hand washes in the past but never worked with a machine like this before, I was genuinely excited to finally put it to work. This is my first documented experience using a Bubbleator. There will be successes. There will be mistakes. There will be lessons. And all of them will become part of this archive. --- ## What Is Fresh Frozen? Before we begin the extraction process itself, it is important to explain what fresh frozen material actually is. Instead of drying and curing the flowers after harvest, the material is frozen immediately after being processed. This helps preserve many of the volatile compounds that can be lost during drying and curing. The goal is to capture the plant as close as possible to its living state. In this case, the material being used comes from the previous run, which many of you have already followed through harvest. Throughout those diaries I intentionally collected and preserved material specifically for these future extractions. Today, that material finally leaves the freezer. --- ## What Is Ice & Water Extraction? Ice & water extraction is one of the most traditional solventless extraction methods available. The concept is beautifully simple. Cold temperatures make the trichome heads brittle. Gentle agitation helps separate those trichomes from the plant material. The resulting mixture is then filtered through a series of micron screens which allow the resin glands to be collected while removing unwanted plant matter. No chemical solvents. No hydrocarbons. No shortcuts. Just ice. Water. Movement. Patience. And trichomes. --- ## The First Wash With the machine prepared, the process could begin. Ice was added. Fresh frozen material was loaded into the 220-micron work bag. More ice was placed on top. Cold water was added. And then the waiting began. Watching the machine start spinning for the first time was exciting. The water slowly changed color as resin and plant material began moving through the system. Temperatures remained extremely cold, hovering around freezing conditions and helping maintain the ideal environment for extraction. This was the first true wash performed with the Bubbleator. Not only were we processing material. We were learning the machine itself. Learning timing. Learning technique. Learning observations. And documenting every step. --- ## Collecting The Resin Once the wash cycle was complete, the water was drained and passed through the filtration system. This is where the magic starts becoming visible. The trichomes that had previously been attached to the flowers now began collecting inside the filtration bags. Seeing those first collections appear is one of those moments that never gets old. The resin was carefully gathered and prepared for drying. Even at this early stage it was already obvious that the material held incredible potential. --- ## Drying & Preparing The Hash After collection, the resin was gently broken apart into smaller pieces to increase surface area and encourage proper drying. Drying remains one of the most important stages of the process. Rushing this step can compromise months of work. Patience here is rewarded later. While the first collections dried, additional washes continued, allowing the extraction process to move forward while the earlier material slowly prepared for its next stage. --- ## Temple Ball Experiments Once properly dried, part of the collected resin was worked into a traditional temple ball. This is one of the oldest and most beautiful forms of hash preservation. Heat. Pressure. Patience. And resin. Nothing more. The resulting temple ball displayed beautiful characteristics. Excellent texture. Wonderful aroma. A clean melt. Beautiful bubbling behavior. And the unmistakable appearance that makes handcrafted temple balls so special. Watching it transform from loose resin into a unified sphere felt almost like watching the extraction complete its final step. --- ## A Second Wash & A Different Approach The second material was processed using the same extraction methodology. Ice. Water. Agitation. Filtration. Collection. Drying. However, this time a different preservation method was chosen. Instead of forming a temple ball, the dried resin was left loose and placed inside a vacuum-sealed bag. All possible air was removed. The goal now is long-term observation. How does this material evolve? How does the aroma change? How does the texture develop? How does it compare to the temple ball? Those questions will be answered in future entries. --- ## This Is Only The Beginning Although this report marks the end of the first extraction session, it is far from the end of the story. The temple ball now begins its cure. The vacuum-sealed resin begins its cure. Additional fresh frozen material remains waiting. More washes are coming. More genetics are coming. More lessons are coming. And every step will become part of The Frozen Archive. For now, this first chapter closes with gratitude. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Bubbleator machine, the genetics, and the opportunity to explore this side of cultivation. Thank you to everyone following along and supporting these projects. And thank you to the plants themselves. Months ago they were seeds. Today they continue teaching us in entirely new forms. Grower's Love everyone. 🌱💚❄️ The Frozen Archive has officially beg P.S. A special thank you to Plagron for supporting this entire cultivation from start to finish. From the very first watering to the final harvest, drying, freezing, and extraction stages, every plant involved in this project was grown using the Plagron lineup, including Terra Grow, Terra Bloom, Pure Zym, CalMag Pro, Power Buds, Power Roots, and Green Sensation. As always, this is not about claiming that any product creates magic on its own. Healthy plants are the result of genetics, environment, nutrition, observation, patience, and consistency all working together. Still, after following these plants from seed to harvest and now into the extraction stage, I believe credit should be given where credit is due. These flowers, the fresh frozen material, and now the resin itself were all produced under the Plagron feeding program, and I am grateful for their support throughout the journey. Grower's Love. 🌱💚

I was on vacation for 1 week so i couldnt take any pictures… but shes going nicely into flowering stage now Light is running on 100%
