I finally came back from vacation, and I already visited it:) it doesn't look bad, a few higher branches look like the leaves are on fire, a lot of leaves were cut off yesterday so that the plant would devote more energy to the flowers:) I think the flowers will burst and expand within a week:)

🌱 Ghost Train Ace — Week 10 From Seed (Week 5 Flower) “The Rise of Big Mama” 🔁 Quick Recap — How We Got Here This run has been unique from day one. 12/12 straight from seed — no traditional veg phase — letting each plant express itself naturally from the start. What we’re seeing now is a perfect example of what happens when strong genetics meet minimal restriction: • Explosive vertical growth • Natural structure formation • Zero training, just guidance And now, one plant has clearly stepped forward. Big Mama — standing around 180–183 cm, claiming her space, her light, and her identity. ⸻ 🌿 The Star of the Room From this point forward, the focus shifts. The other plants are doing well and will get their final report — but this one… this one is something special. • Massive vertical structure • Strong lateral branching • Bud sites stacking clean and aggressively • Resin already forming heavily for this stage And one of the most beautiful signs: 💧 Constant transpiration (“always praying and sweating”) → This is a plant fully engaged with her environment ⸻ 💡 Light Intensity — Controlled Chaos PPFD ranges: • Top canopy: ~1500 PPFD • Lower canopy: ~800 PPFD This variation is not a flaw — it’s a reflection of natural structure. Because: • Different heights = different light exposure • Different phenotypic expression = different light tolerance And she’s handling it like a champion. 👉 The top buds are pushing high photosynthetic limits 👉 Lower sites still receive enough energy to develop properly This creates: • Strong apical dominance • But still productive secondary flowers ⸻ 🌡️ Environment & VPD Balance • Temperature: 26°C • Humidity: 60% • CO₂: ~1000 ppm At first glance, 60% RH in flower might raise eyebrows — but here’s the key: 👉 Leaf VPD is in a functional range due to elevated CO₂ and active transpiration What we’re seeing: • High metabolic activity • Constant water movement • No stagnation This is not a passive environment — it’s alive. ⸻ 💨 Airflow — The Silent Engine At this stage, airflow becomes critical. Not just for: • Mold prevention But for: • Gas exchange • Transpiration efficiency • Heat distribution across the canopy With a plant this dense and tall, airflow isn’t optional — it’s structural support. ⸻ 💧 Feeding Strategy — Why This Approach This plant is on AutoPots, running mostly mineral feeding: • Terra Bloom • Power Buds • CalMag Pro With occasional organic input (non-strict, intuitive) Why this works here: AutoPots favor: • Stability • Clean nutrient delivery • Consistent EC 👉 Minerals ensure: • Immediate availability • No buildup or biofilm risk in the system 👉 Occasional organics: • Add complexity • Support microbial interaction (even if limited) This hybrid mindset gives: • Control + Expression ⸻ ⚡ Current Parameters • EC: 2.8 • pH: 6.5 • Adjusted with: • Lemon Kick • pH Plus She’s feeding heavy — no doubt about it. Estimated water intake: 👉 ~1.8 – 2L per day Which matches: • Her size • Her metabolic rate • Her constant transpiration ⸻ ❄️ Frost & Genetic Expression (ACE Influence) This is where things get exciting. ACE genetics tend to: • Stretch aggressively • Build structure before density • Then suddenly flip into resin production And that’s exactly what’s happening: 👉 Early frost development 👉 Aromas already loud at Week 5 👉 Bud formation still expanding This is the transition phase: Structure → Resin → Density ⸻ 📏 Stretch Status Stretch appears to be: 👉 Mostly complete Any further growth: • Likely minimal • Focus shifting into flower mass and resin production And honestly… with a plant already near 2 meters — that’s a blessing 😄 ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect Next Week • Bud stacking acceleration • Increased resin coverage • Stronger terpene expression • Higher nutrient demand stabilization • Possible slight fade starting on older leaves This is where she begins to define her final form. ⸻ 🙏 Gratitude — Always To everyone following this journey: • The day-one supporters • The silent watchers • The ones who comment • The skeptics • The OGs • The new growers • The platform • The community • The sponsors • The genetics • The tools • The lessons And even the challenges… Everything plays a role.

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.

LSD Zamnesia Tripping 🙂 | Fresh Frozen, Ice Water & Temple Balls — Week 16 From Seed First of all… Yes 😄 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 😄 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 😄 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 😄 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 😄 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 😄 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 “rolling hash.” 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 😄 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 “fresh hash.” 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 😄 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 😄 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 🌱

🌿 Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno B | Week 10 ❄️ The Dark Green Sister Is Getting Frostier by the Day Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌿💚 And this girl... Wow. She's getting even darker. I honestly don't know how many different ways I can describe the colour anymore. 😂 Deep green. Dark green. Rich green. Almost ridiculously green. And now, alongside that incredible foliage, we're seeing beautiful compact flowers, serious frost, a strong aroma, and another characteristic that her sister is showing too: foxtailing. 🦄❄️ And that's getting interesting. Because when two plants from the same genetic line, growing in the same room, under the same general conditions, both begin showing the same unusual characteristic... well... I'm starting to suspect genetics may have something to do with it. I'm not saying that's definitely the explanation. I'm not going to pretend I can prove it from two plants. But it's certainly interesting. And that's exactly what this experiment is here for. Observe. Document. Compare. Learn. And enjoy the hell out of the process. And this girl? She's giving me plenty to enjoy. 🌱 One Room. Twelve Personalities. For anyone joining the 8×8 Adventure for the first time, welcome! The concept behind this project is something I absolutely love. We're growing twelve different plants in the same room, using the same general environmental strategy, lighting ecosystem, irrigation philosophy and nutritional program. The plants are all being grown under a 12/12-from-seed approach. Same room. Same grower. Same general conditions. And yet... they develop completely differently. That's the beauty of it. The environment gives them the opportunity. Genetics decide what they do with it. And Frosted Guava Pheno B is certainly making her own decisions. She's not the tallest. She's not trying to dominate the tent. She's not asking for constant attention. Instead, she's becoming something I really enjoy: compact, dense, dark, frosty and beautifully individual. And now she's showing us that her sister isn't the only one with a little unicorn behaviour. 😂🦄 💚 Even Darker. Even Deeper. Let's start with the thing I can't stop noticing. That colour. She's getting even darker. The lower foliage in particular is incredibly deep green. And I absolutely love it. It's one of those characteristics that has become part of her identity. When I look at her now, I don't have to wonder which Frosted Guava I'm looking at. I know. That's Pheno B. The dark one. 😂💚 And the contrast is fantastic. Those deep green leaves surrounding increasingly frosty flowers make the developing buds stand out beautifully. The plant almost has this layered appearance. Dark foliage. Bright pistils. Green calyxes. And then... frost everywhere. It's a beautiful combination. ❄️ Frosted Guava Is Definitely Living Up to Her Name And the frost... Wow. She's becoming seriously frosty. The resin coverage is increasingly obvious across the flowers and sugar leaves, and the photographs really capture how much the plant has progressed. At this stage, the flowers don't just look like developing buds anymore. They look like proper little structures. Compact. Dense. Covered in resin. And surrounded by those beautiful dark leaves. This is exactly the stage where I start getting impatient with my own camera. 😂 Because there is always another detail to photograph. Another flower. Another angle. Another little pocket of resin. Another structure that looks completely different when you get closer. And the closer you get... the more interesting she becomes. 🌸 Compact, Dense & Beautiful Her flowers are developing in a way I really like. They're compact. They're dense. They're well defined. And they're carrying plenty of resin. She's not producing those enormous elongated structures that some of the taller girls in the room are developing. She's doing something different. She's building compact flowers with a lot of visual density. And I think that's one of the things that makes this phenotype so attractive. She's not trying to be her sister. She's not trying to be the tallest plant in the room. She's simply building the way she wants to build. And honestly? She's doing a damn good job. 🦄 And Yes... More Foxtailing Now let's talk about the little unicorn horns. 😂🦄 Because they're still there. And after looking at her sister... I'm becoming increasingly curious about this. Both Frosted Guava sisters are showing foxtailing. Does that prove it's genetic? No. Not by itself. Could genetics be playing a role? Absolutely possible. And that's precisely why I'm interested. Because they're sharing the same room. The same general environment. The same lighting ecosystem. The same nutritional strategy. And they're both showing a similar characteristic. That makes the genetic component an interesting possibility. There can obviously be other factors involved in foxtailing too, so I'm not going to declare a scientific conclusion based on two plants. But for the purposes of this diary? It's absolutely worth documenting. And personally... I like it. 😂💚 It makes the flowers look peculiar. It gives them character. It makes them less predictable. And you already know... I like peculiar. I like unique. I like unicorns. So I'm perfectly happy watching this expression develop. 🌿 Her Own Kind of Beautiful One thing I really enjoy about Pheno B is that she doesn't need to be spectacular in the same way as another plant. She's spectacular as herself. She's around 108 cm. She's compact compared with some of the giants around her. But when you look at the flowers? She doesn't feel small. When you look at the frost? She doesn't feel small. When you look at the density? Definitely not small. And when you smell her... well... she certainly doesn't feel small. 😂 The aroma is becoming much more noticeable now. That's another sign that we're moving deeper into this stage of the journey. The flowers aren't just looking mature. They're starting to announce themselves. 👃 She's Starting to Smell And yes... she's smelling. That's becoming increasingly obvious. It's another one of those moments in a grow where the plant starts engaging another sense. First you see the flowers. Then you photograph them. Then you start noticing the resin. And eventually... you walk into the room and think: "Okay... hello there." 😂 Frosted Guava Pheno B is becoming increasingly aromatic. And I'm very curious to see how that develops as she continues toward maturity. Because the visual side is already giving us plenty. Now the nose is joining the conversation. ✂️ No Need to Chase Her With Scissors After the selective cleanup we gave her previously, I'm not looking to keep interfering. She's got what she needs. The canopy has been opened where appropriate. The room is being maintained. The plant is developing. And now... I want her to work. This is one of those stages where I think observation becomes more valuable than intervention. The plant has already shown us her architecture. She's already shown us her flowering style. Now we're watching the flowers mature. So I'm not going to chase every leaf or every little characteristic. She's healthy-looking. She's developing. She's frosty. She's smelling. She's beautiful. That's enough for me. 💡 Still Eating Photons The lighting ecosystem remains consistent. The Future of Grow Black Series LED continues providing the primary overhead lighting, while Lumiflora contributes additional illumination into the lower canopy. And Pheno B is clearly making use of the available light. She's maintaining those beautiful dark leaves while continuing to develop her flowers. Again, I'm not interested in forcing an explanation onto every characteristic we see. The foxtailing is there. The frost is there. The flower density is there. The colour is there. And the plant is telling us her story. Our job is to listen. 💧 Feeding Continues The flowering nutrition remains consistent with the general program being used across the room: 🌸 Plagron Terra Bloom — 2.2 ml/L 🌱 Plagron Power Buds — 1 ml/L ✨ Plagron Green Sensation — 1 ml/L 🍯 Plagron Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH adjustment as required Current recorded solution strength remains approximately: EC: ~2.0 mS/cm with: pH: ~6.0 Watering is approximately: 💧 1.2 L per plant / 24h And that's really the story right now. We provide. She responds. We observe. She keeps growing. It's a very nice relationship. 😂💚 🌡️ Week 10 Conditions Current GrowDiaries conditions: 🌸 Flowering: Week 10 📏 Height: 108 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 🌡️ Day temperature: 29.9°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 72% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC/TDS: ~2.0 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 🌬️ CO₂: 639 ppm ? Pot size: 15 L 💦 Watering: ~1.2 L per plant / 24h 👃 Smell: Strong The environment remains consistent with the overall project. And the plant? She's continuing to do exactly what she's been doing best. Being herself. 📸 This Week's Gallery The photographs this week really make the story easy to understand. Look at the flowers. Look at the density. Look at the resin. Look at those colours. And then look at the foliage surrounding everything. That deep green is incredible. The flowers almost pop out from the darkness of the leaves. And the closer photographs show just how much development is happening. The pistils. The calyxes. The resin. The compact structure. And, of course... those little foxtailing formations. 😂🦄 It's a really beautiful combination. 🔬 Two Sisters. One Interesting Clue. This is probably the part I'm most curious about now. Her sister is foxtailing. She's foxtailing. They're both Frosted Guavas. They're both in the same room. And they're both showing it. Again... I'm not going to pretend that's enough evidence to scientifically prove anything. But it certainly makes me wonder. Could this be part of the genetic expression? Maybe. Could other factors contribute? Of course. That's why we're documenting it. If both sisters continue showing the same behaviour as they mature, that's going to make the genetic explanation even more interesting to me. And that's exactly why I love this experiment. Sometimes you don't get an answer immediately. Sometimes you get a question. And a good question is still valuable. 💚 The Dark Green Girl If I had to describe Pheno B today in just a few words: Dark. Compact. Dense. Frosty. Aromatic. Peculiar. Beautiful. That's her. She's not the loudest plant in the room. She's not the tallest. She doesn't demand constant attention. But every time I stop and look at her... there's something else to appreciate. And that's a very good kind of plant to have. 🔮 Looking Ahead Now I'm genuinely curious about where she goes next. She's clearly moving toward a more advanced stage. The flowers are established. The resin is abundant. The colour remains incredible. The aroma is increasing. And the foxtailing continues to give her that peculiar little signature. So now... we wait. We watch. We photograph. We smell. 😂 And we see how she decides to finish. Will the flowers continue becoming denser? Will the resin increase even further? Will the foxtailing become more pronounced? Will her colour remain this incredibly deep? And how will she compare with her sister when both are finally finished? I have no idea. And that's exactly why I'm enjoying this. ✨ Let This Dark Beauty Shine Frosted Guava Pheno B has really settled into her identity now. She's the darker sister. The compact sister. The dense sister. The frosty sister. And apparently... the foxtailing sister too. 😂🦄 She's not trying to become something else. She's simply doing her thing. And that's exactly what I want. We provide the environment. We provide the nutrition. We provide the water. We provide the light. And then... we let her shine. Because she absolutely deserves the spotlight. 💚 Final Thoughts — She's Becoming a Little Unicorn Week 10. And I think Frosted Guava Pheno B is becoming one of the most visually interesting plants in this room. She's not huge. She's not trying to be. She's compact. She's dense. She's incredibly dark green. She's beautifully structured. She's getting extremely frosty. She's smelling. And she's developing those little foxtailing structures that make her flowers even more peculiar. And now that her sister is showing the same thing... I'm paying even more attention. Maybe it's genetics. Maybe it's partly genetics. Maybe other factors are involved. I don't know yet. And I'm perfectly comfortable saying: I don't know yet. That's what the experiment is for. We're here to watch. We're here to compare. We're here to document. We're here to learn. And sometimes the plant doesn't give you an answer. Sometimes she gives you another question. And this girl has given me a very interesting one. 😂🦄💚 But whatever the explanation... I like what I'm seeing. I like unique. I like peculiar. I like flowers that don't all look exactly the same. And this girl certainly isn't boring. She's beautiful. She's dark. She's frosty. She's compact. She's aromatic. She's developing quickly. And she's doing it all without asking me for much more than what we're already providing. So let's keep doing exactly that. No unnecessary drama. No unnecessary intervention. Just: provide, observe, document and enjoy. Because Frosted Guava Pheno B is doing a damn good job of the rest. Let's make this dark green beauty shine. ❄️💚🌿🦄 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us a place to document this crazy 8×8 Adventure and share the differences that appear from plant to plant. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Frosted Guava genetics behind these fascinating sisters. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the adventure. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for the main lighting driving the room. Thank you to Lumiflora for bringing the under-canopy lighting dimension into the experiment. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping maintain and monitor the environment behind the scenes. And, of course... thank you to everyone following along. Every week. Every photograph. Every comment. Every question. Every little observation. That's what makes this adventure what it is. And Frosted Guava Pheno B? She's giving us another beautiful chapter. Deep greens. Compact flowers. Serious frost. A growing aroma. A little foxtailing. And a whole lot of personality. She's very different from her sister. But every bit as beautiful. And maybe... just maybe... we've got another little unicorn hiding in this room. 🦄💚 For now, we're not making conclusions. We're just watching her shine. Let's make her shine! ❄️🌿💚 Growers Love & Happy Growing! 🌱💚

Hey now! This week went very well. I feel like she is finally done growing, and just starting to thicken up and ripen. I did switch from the liquid koolbloom to the dry, and within 48 hours or so I really started noticing the weight of the colas start leaning towards the floor. I did support the main colas last week, but this week I noticed several of the smaller unsupported colas started drooping to the floor, so i added a few support lines. I am thinking maybe she has two or three weeks left. I am not a big believer in an all out flush, as I do not wish to stress her out even near the end. Rather, I am gradually weaning her off the nutes over the next 2-3 weeks. She is starting to get brown tips on almost every leaf so not sure if this is just her being near the end or a bigger issue?? Any advice please hit me up! I'm still struggling with humidity issues, but she seems to be ok! Thank you so much to everyone in this community for all the love, support, and help with my first grow. Thanks and blaze on!

As I have already written, clean the lenses and keep the lighting department efficient, and you will have excellent yields ... The plant was a bit long but the sativa component gave the direction the peaks were a bit like popcorn due to the error described above ... dirty lenses. it's not a plant that sucks fertilizers ... he likes them but don't overdo it

------------------------------------ ~SEEDSMAN PEYOTE GORILLA~ ------------------------------------ Peyote Gorilla is a cross of Gorilla Glue #4 (Chem Sister x Chocolate Diesel) and Peyote Purple, a colorful phenotype of Bubba Kush. The potent, medicinal effect of the Gorilla meets the stimulating and uplifting high of the Peyote Purple. With a flowering time of around 70 days Peyote Gorilla has a typically Indica structure, medium-sized with large, broad leaves. Yields are exceptionally good; indoors growers can expect to yield between 500 - 650 gr/m2 while outdoors as much as 1500 gr/m2 can be realized. Resin levels are very high and this means that it is very suitable for making extracts and concentrates with. This strain's scent is sour with lemon, petrol, earthy and woody notes and these properties are reflected back in the taste. THC production is very high at between 22 - 26% with CBD at just 1%. The effect is a very potent, uplifting high which gradually evolves into a physically relaxing state that will be almost certain to ease any aches and pains. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ -Strain Characteristics- BREEDER/BRAND: Seedsman PRODUCT TYPE: Seeds THC GENETICS: Gorilla Glue #4 (Chem Sister x Chocolate Diesel) x Peyote Purple (Bubba Kush purple pheno) VARIETY: Mostly Indica FLOWERING TYPE: Photoperiod SEX: Feminised THC CONTENT: 22 - 26% CBD CONTENT: 1% YIELD: Indoor: 450-600 g/m2; Outdoor: 1500 gr/plant PLANT HEIGHT: 80-160 cm GROWS: Indoors, Outdoors FLOWERING TIME: 70 days HARVEST MONTH: September MEDICAL CONDITIONS: Fatigue, Insomnia, Pain, Stress TASTE / FLAVOR: Berry, Earthy, Fruity, Petrol, Sweet EFFECT: Euphoric, Powerful, Relaxing, Uplifting _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ THE SETUP: ~Planted into Jiffy Peat Pellets that were hydrated with de-chlorinated water with SuperThrive added then ph'd to 6.0 @ 80℉ ~Grown 100% organic in 10g fabric pots with Mother Earth 70/30 Coco/Perlite medium amended with 2tbs/g of Down To Earth 4-4-4 / 2 cups/g of Earthworm Castings / 1tbs/g of Dr. Earth Flower Girl 3-9-4, 1tbs/g of Dr. Earth Bat Guano, 3/4 cup of Down To Earth Azomite and 1 tsp/g Down To Earth Fish Bone Meal. ~24hr light cycle during Germination / 19/5 light cycle for Vegetation and 12/12 for Flower ~Straight water ph'd @ 6.2-6.8 when needed and weekly Compost Tea's. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates:9/20- 💥BOOM!💥 Week Six of flower is here and my girl's in high gear, stacking her flowers and pumping out trichomes! Today I watered her with 1.5g de-chlorinated water with 5ml/g of Botanicare CalMag+ added, then ph'd to 6.2 @ 72℉. I turned her pot and plucked a couple of yellow shade leaves...the basic daily maintenance. 9/22- I didn't water her yesterday as she looked great and was 'praying' hard. Today she was given 1.5g of de-chlorinated water which was ph'd to 6.2 @ 72℉ which I gave her through her drip pan (bottom chuggin) and I also gave her pot a turn. She continues to pile on the trichomes and is taking on a exquisite purple hue to her flowers! She is definitely one of the most photogenic cultivar's I've grown and is looking lovelier by the day! 😍 9/24- We're getting close to wrapping up Week Six of flower in a couple of days and she'll be around four more weeks from finishing, with the most exciting weeks yet to come! I didn't water yesterday and today I went ahead and Top Dressed her with 2 tbsp/g Dr. Earth Flower Girl 3-9-4, 1 tbsp/g Dr. Earth Gold Premium 4-4-4, 1/2 cup Down To Earth Bio-Fish, 1/3 cup Down To Earth High Phosphorus Bat Guano and 2 cups of Worm Castings. I watered in the Top Dress with 1.5g of de-chlorinated water which was ph'd to 6.2 @ 72℉ and let her enjoy her meal! 😜 9/26- After her heavy watering on the 24th I didn't water yesterday and when I checked her today at 'lights on' and she still had some weight to her pot and her leaves were praying hard so I held off on watering today and will hit her tomorrow with her usual 1.5g watering. ~Thanks for stopping in! Things should be getting a lot more interesting in the coming weeks...Stay lifted and be Blessed! 😎🙏~

Great experience. Would've grown even taller if it was outdoors. An absolute monster that stinks and is rich in trichomes. Can't wait to harvest fully and try, it looks to be an awesome growth. Some mould spots here and there because of humidity but not a lot now. Washing will be in warm water with lemon juice

Lost my phone so couldn't post I've found it now all is looking good. Had the gavita blasting out the heat and infrared after vegging 5 weeks without any warmth. Using the 50w veg led strip in the corner and the 150w mars hydro led in the front corner. This 5x5 tent I will put the 4x4 up ASAP. First I have to get some more led lights ordered tomorrow and a UV tube from migro. The 4x4 will have either a few panel led lights or a 5x5 led bar light not sure yet what I'm doing but either one its crammed in here. Tomorrow is feed day I will try get some light to the top of the container as the shade is covering most of it since past few days now and I noticed its better to have some light heat and warmth to allow the roots to be warm and not damp in the cold shade. I messed up last time by cramming too many in a small tent. Hope not to repeat this time. I did expect there to be a couple more males this but even the bagseed blue cookies is confirmed female now 😋 I will start a new diary now for that one plant separately

"So guys,I did everything the same way I've been doing outdoors all along..soil, nutrient dosing, all the techniques and procedures I've proven for growing under the sun, except that I can control the climate..and it seems like the girls like it..but I still need a few things like reverse osmosis, additional lights, CO2, maybe UV, and I think it will be super quality.this week is last week of nutrients for BM2 and BM3. BM3 is starting to foxtail, and BM1 is full of myrcene, I think. She smells like carrots with cloves. I don’t like it 😀 but maybe the taste will change after curing. All the plants are frosty.. I found one seed on BM2, so I hope it’s the last one."..thx and bye next week ..

2/2/24. Great week for Bud site development. The pic with droopy leaves was a surprise. About an hour after watering without NUTES, both of them started drooping. Then they both bounced back within 4 hours. Strangest thing. They're doing great now. 2/4/24. Super excited! Received new batch of seeds from RQS. Got feminized Royal Gorilla, Royal Cookies, OG Kush, and autoflower F1 Orion. Oooooh, it's gonna be a good year!

* 3rd December - Day 14 from seed * Well, what a week! And I wasn't even here to enjoy it. My partner lovingly tended Nora (we decided to name her) while I was away. Looking at 'germination week', you'll see I was constantly aerating the nutrient solution. For the first 4 days, my partner was pH adjusting the solution (Rhizotonic seems to leave pH constantly climbing - around half a point per day), pouring out any old solution from Nora's 'semi-kratky' pot, then syringing 24ml of solution through the rockwool. As soon as the tap root was around half way down the pot (4th day), we filled the pot so the tap root was just touching a well of nutrient solution within the pot. Each day, the solution was emptied and refreshed - not taking any Pythium chances here. Within the next 3 days the rest of the explosive root growth came bursting through the rockwool. So, time to transport her. Made some changes to the bucket: lots of holes in the rim for LST, full foil-bubble insulation (including around the rim of the net pot , and aluminium tape around the entire silicone air line - zero light leaks), a very large new air stone, and a 25w pump to power it. The pump is ridiculously quiet - not 'quiet for 25w', simply ridiculously quiet. And as you can see, it creates a bucket which looks like a pot on full boil. There's absolutely no way pythium is getting any sort of foothold on this grow. The root explosion made it very easy to position the rockwool cube within the hydroton - the roots are submerged while the rockwool sits just above. Decided to stick with the Formulex as it's doing a grand job, albeit the dose has been kicked up. Swapping the Rhizotonic for Regenaroot as I hear very good things, including that pH remains stable! Will now use Rhizo for foliar applications only.

Midway through week 3 and things have taken off since I transplanted this past weekend! Still no nutrients added. Drilled holes in the sides...can't wait to tie them down. Side branching will do much better in the near future Sunday Feb. 10th update -It has been one week since I transplanted -plants have been tied down -trying to manipulate leaves so side branching gets light exposure -SECOND light is coming tomorrow -very difficult to get enough light on all 4 with 1 light -By the end of this week I plan on transplanting into Final Pots and prepare clones -Watch how crazy week 4 gets!
