Day 33-40 (May 24th-May 31st) (Day 34) I just found a herm branch on the tight blueberry pheno. It looks like a random pollen sack opened right above a lower branch. I removed the sack but I saw a small amount of dust fall onto one of the lower branches. I’m going to leave it to see if it will pollinate that small branch at all. I spent a good 5 minutes looking closely for bananas or claws but couldn’t find anymore. The main bud is clearly unaffected so I will just leave it unless it is visibly seeding itself. Too bad because I’m really excited for this plant. (Day 36) Not a lot has happened since I flushed them. Growth actually looks healthy and I don’t see any deficiencies on anything yet. (Day 37) Both of these badazz cheese phenos are picture perfect and easily hold up against Canadian and California quad grade. I might try to reveg them at the end and take some clones. They have this unique pungent, grassy, sour milk smell that is just wonderful. The density and bud structure is looking great too. This whole plant will probably take 3 minutes to trim if that. (Day 38) Just found a banana on the shitty blueberry pheno. This pheno is trash and I would honestly throw it away if it didn’t mess up the 3 perfect rows. It has almost no frost, no smell, is airy and has bad structure. I’ve actually never seen a plant with such little frost. Even outdoors. (Day 39) I think most of this tent will be done by day 60 but I will probably ride it out until day 70+. I don’t think the blueberries or the jacks will fill out very much either way but taking it too day 70 will ensure maximum production from each plant.

For vegetative stage I kept the lights on for 20 hours and off for 4 and then at the first sign of trigger I set hed the lighting to 12/12 I used pre amendment soil so there was no need to add nutrients the plant was in a city slicker sub irrigated planter that I would refill when empty this was my first time growing in a sub irrigated planter and it most definitely will not be the last this planter rocks out to say the least only regret is that I didn't buy more of them as for the smoke report I'll try and do an update I'll be drying for 16 days at 60 degrees Fahrenheit and 50% humidity

The plant went crazy with growth this week, easily doubling in size (probably more). My tent is only a small one at 80*80*160 and this thing is now fully populated by plant. Can't beleive I managed to get 4 in here with my last grow, I guess they will grow as big as the space they are provided with when they are healthy and happy and this plant is definitely both. Things continued to warm up again this week, a few sunny days of 26c outside which meant my tent once again crept into the 30's for 2 or 3 hours of the 18 hour lights on cycle. On top of this, just to add salt into the wounds there were cold nights as well where the tent heaters were going full whack keeping things warm. To tackle the heat I ended up using a CO2 bag. CO2 was recommended to me by the Hydro shop and could help with the plant dealing with the high heats at times, guess I'll see. The plant also received the gift of automated watering, with the higher temperatures but also as I'll be away for a week for work next week I had to get something setup in advance. No idea why I didn't install an automated watering system with previous grows, was so cheap and makes things so much easier. Best of all the plant is loving more frequent drinks/feeds. Currently set to 4 a day at around 500ml each feed. When I started this gro my plan was to go nutrient free, and just use what the living soil offered. That only lasted through veg anyhow, now that it's flowering, I can see how much the plant is loving the Mills nutrients. Based on the growth in the last week I'd say the plants loving them a hell of a lot!!!! I think all the hard work shaping the plant is done now as the stretch is nearly over. Had no other option but to install a net during the week just to keep it down as much as I could. Only took a few days to fill it out and there's way too many bud sights now. If the plant had of stretched much more it would have to move into a larger house, but now the buds are starting to fatten I'd say it will be safe now. Couldn't be happier with this grow anyhow. Now just have to wait and see these buds fatten up.

After defoliating both Barbarian (=AK-47 x Barbara Bud) plants after week 11 they now develop more and amore flower clusters, since the light can penetrate deeper int the canopy now. The plants are producing trichomes like crazy, even the bigger sugar leaves are covered in them! VERY FROSTY PLANTS! The flower clusters clearly form colas now along all side branches and both plants fill up nicely. The smell is now strong and sweet with a clear peach aroma to it, it makes me smile every time I look into the tent. The plants love the Advanced Nutrients feeding schedule and are getting the recommended dose every watering.

Flipped 5/18. Roots are all established and now bottom watering only. Did a little scrog action to try and control the stretch a little and shoot for as even as possible in the canopy this time. Cheers!

D78 - We're just starting week seven of flower, and the girls are rocking it in the tent. I'm thrilled with how they are coming along. The buds are fattening up, with a more intense smell than they had only a few days ago. I'm starting to see the first signs of fading, and the trichomes are clear/milky with an odd amber here and there. I estimate that chop day is a couple of weeks off, which would bring it to eight weeks of flower. ________________________________ D80 - Pics ________________________________ D82 - I have been stuck in trim jail so it has been a couple of days since I looked in on the girls. They didn't miss me though as everything is just humming along. They look and smell amazing, citrus and pine, and the buds are fattening up with each passing day. Some additional fade but not much, to be honest. ________________________________ D84 - We are indeed on the home stretch at the end of the seventh week of flower. The girls look great with only a slight fade until now. I'm starting to see some amber trichomes but want more before harvest. Judging from how the trichomes have progressed this week, I say chop day is a week off.

The flush is almost over and these are almost done. Few more days and they’ll be gettin chopped. Paying close attention the trichome head colors and ratios. Everything looks and smells fantastic. Fastbuds most definitely is a leader in the auto genetic world. More than pleased every time.

📁 Folder 11 – LSD Week 3 · VEG (12/12 from Seed) Week 3 closes with beautiful, confident growth across all plants. Uniformity is strong, vigor is consistent, and it’s becoming very clear that we are working with solid, stable genetics. Despite different timelines, all plants are responding exceptionally well to the environment, the feeding program, and the hands-on approach. ⸻ 🌱 Plant Development & Structure • 15-day VEG sister • Clearly larger and more established, as expected • Already pushing into approximately the 7th node • Strong vertical structure and well-spaced internodes • Acts as a reference point for genetic potential • 12/12-from-seed sisters • Currently working through the 3rd to 4th node • New true leaves actively emerging • If counting early single leaves, development aligns perfectly for Week 3 • All plants are remarkably similar in structure and expression Across the board, plants are showing: • Lush, healthy green coloration • Strong leaf posture • Excellent response to the soil and feeding regimen No signs of stress. No confusion. Just steady progression. ⸻ 🌿 Leaf Expression & Genetics Leaf shape, color, and texture are extremely consistent across all individuals. This level of similarity reinforces the idea that these genetics are well-selected and stable. So far: • No erratic behavior • No weak individuals • No outliers Everything feels balanced and intentional. ⸻ 💧 Watering Philosophy (Hands-On Approach) At this stage, everything is hand-watered, one plant at a time. • No automated irrigation • No connected systems • No shared reservoirs Each pot is lifted, weighed, and observed individually. Watering decisions are based on: • Pot weight • Visual cues • Leaf posture • Overall plant behavior This approach allows for: • Individual attention • Better understanding of each plant’s needs • Stronger grower–plant connection While this method will later be explained in more depth through video content, it’s important to document it here so readers understand how decisions are being made during these early stages. ⸻ 💡 Light & Environment (Baseline) Plants continue to grow into the light under a controlled PPFD range. No pushing, no forcing — just gradual adaptation. Everything else remains aligned with the locked baseline: • Stable temperatures • Balanced humidity • Consistent feeding • Clean, predictable conditions ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect • Continued node stacking and leaf expansion • Increased growth speed as root systems mature • Clearer differentiation between the 15-day VEG plant and the 12/12-from-seed plants • Preparation for more visible vertical movement in the coming weeks 🚫 What Not to Expect (Yet) • No explosive stretch just yet • No need for stronger feeding • No aggressive training • No automation at this stage Observation remains the priority. ⸻ 📝 Final Notes Week 3 confirms that LSD is thriving under this approach. The combination of strong genetics, consistent environment, and hands-on care is producing predictable, healthy results. This is one of those weeks where nothing dramatic happens — and that’s a very good sign. Everything is right where it should be.

Trust me, you won’t want to miss the next steps, let’s push the boundaries of indoor horticulture together! As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together. 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 A6700 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.

Olá growmies. Esta gorilla está a demorar muito mais tempo comparando com o meu primeiro grow. Penso que o problema tenha sido as doses baixas de nitrogenio que dei durante a floração e as temperaturas no máximo chegaram aos 23 graus.. no próximo correrá melhor. Vivendo e aprendendo 👍 15 janeiro: continuação do flush - regada só com água, 2l. Vou esperar mais uma semana no máximo para cortar. Na esperança que alguns tricomas comecem a ficar âmbares. 18 Janeiro - harvest day! Ja está a secar! Atualização em breve!

We have unfortunately lost the Black Opium in this line up but the other three are doing well. We have some albinism throughout the White Widow and she looks lovely to say the least, Kabul is well on her way and doing great along with the Purple Opium. Hopefully we have a great week and these girls keep in their groove!

Week 1 Day 1 - 8/12/2023 1st Water change Day! Such a special time it is when you remove the little bit of Nutes that you gave them as an appetizer and you give them their first real meal. Added 39 Gallons of Water to my system SILICA= .5mil/Gal = 19.5 = 20mil Root Drip = 1mil/Gal = 39mil Cal Mag= .25mil/Gal = 9.75 = 10mil FLoraMicro= 3.0mil/Gal = 114mil FloraGro = 2.0mil/Gal = 78mil FloraBloom = 2.0mil/Gal =78mil ORCA= .5mil/Gal = 19.5 = 20mil Week 1 Day 2 - 8/13/2023 Everything is looking good the roots are making thier way to the water and the new grow is looking nice and green. Week 1 Day 3- 8/14/2023 Everything is right on track, they are looking beautiful and in the praying postition all leaves happily lifting towards the light. Week 1 Day 4- 8/15/2023 Looking beautiful today and looked like she could use her first haircut.. gave her a TOP off. Roots are laying in the water everything is looking right on track.. Week 1 Day 5- 8/16/2023 walked in and the humidity was under 60.... ohh noooooo.. So I added 2 humidifiers to the tent and attached them to my InkBird controller which is set to 62. She had roots nicely in the water.. this grow is on!!! Week 1 Day 6- 8/17/2023 Humidity was a little low this morning, so I refilled the humidifiers. Other than that, the temp looks great, the PH looks great, the PPM looks good the plant is in the praying position and all damage from the little drowning seems to have been fixed. Happy Happy. Week 1 Day 7- 8/18/2023 Yay.. week 1 in the books, roots in the water growth has started first hair cut given and both side nodes are growing. Everything is looking good and on track.. A lot better than week one of the last grow when I had them drowning week 1. Really excited on how this grow is going to come out.

This week was the harvest of plants. Two turned out big and powerful. One is a short plant with a large central flower. One could stand and bloom for another two weeks, but it is already cold outside and the flowering will slow down. And there is no strength to wait. So I collected. As a result, the wet weight was: "small" - 82 grams, "bag" - 185 grams, "fat top" - 282 grams, "skinny" - 252 grams. I wait 10-14 days until drying in an awning without light and with a carbon filter. Temperature 16 degrees

Amazing high. And the bud never smelled like hay. Not even at 85% rh . Still had smelled berries and gas. I am still curing on it and I am very happy with the results. Buds are hard as rock. Not having a big long cola but many big buds, was also good, good trichome production. When smoked cali kush and gorilla glue terpenes profile are felt instantl. It is a delifghyful experience that comes in wjth a cerebral high and turns later into a relaxed body high that leaves you smiling
