18 plants, 5 strains. Each plant has 3 main buds. By means of LST I tried to make them all the same height. Because the plants have now stopped growing, leading is no longer necessary. The plants are still attached to the plant sticks with tie strips to support the buds when they get heavy later on. Lots and large leaves, and therefore a weekly large defoliation every week. The trichomes begin to appear. . All three Exotic Witch plants are mostly Indica types. A fantastic sweet pleasant intoxicating scent. The buds are already getting fat. EW # 1 - 87cm - lots of trichomes, slightly more sativa, quality EW # 2 - 96cm - fat buds, probably a big yielder EW # 4 - 71cm - smallest plant, lower yield

Germination Report 1. Introduction & Thank Yous First of all: a huge thank you to: Zamnesia Seeds — for trusting us with the LSD (feminized) genetics. Plagron — for providing the LightMix Bio soil and support. Future of Grow — for the Air Grow Pro III 2.95 Hyper Red LED setup and the Nova 2C Pro control system. Cannakan — for the germination bundle that allowed us to start strong and clean. And of course: GrowDiaries community, our sponsors, our followers (both long-time and new), even the haters — everyone who watches, learns, and shares energy with us. Without all of you, this project wouldn’t be as magical, ambitious, or grounded. 2. Project Overview & Germination Method Goal: To document the full lifecycle of LSD (Zamnesia Seeds) — from seed to harvest — and share detailed observations, successes, and learnings in a transparent, educational way. Germination method used: Water soak – We placed the seeds in clean, filtered water. After about 24-36 hours, the taproots (“tails”) emerged. Direct sow into soil – Once taproots appeared, we gently transferred the seeds into Plagron LightMix Bio, without using a separate starter medium. Monitoring – We maintained optimal conditions for moisture, temperature, and gentle light (using the Future of Grow LED at low power to avoid shocking the seedlings). Now, we wait and observe. We will document germination rate, any variability, and the time it takes for cotyledons and true leaves to appear. 3. Genetics: LSD (Zamnesia Seeds) Strain background: This is LSD from Zamnesia Seeds, feminized. Genetics: Mazar-I-Sharif × Skunk. It’s 70% indica / 30% sativa. THC: up to 25% under optimal conditions. CBD: very low (~0-1%) per breeder. Flowering: ~8-9 weeks photoperiod. Size: indoor ~90 cm; outdoor ~100 cm. Yield: indoor up to 700 g/m² (per Zamnesia) Terpene profile & effects: Dominant terpenes: caryophyllene and myrcene. Aroma: earthy, skunky, slightly sour / tabacco-like. Effect: long-lasting, relaxing body stone + euphoric, “trippy” cerebral effect — a bit psychedelic but not aggressively “couch-lock.” What to Expect (Phenotype & Growth): Because of the indica dominance, expect relatively compact, bushy plants. Good resin production — Mazar-I-Sharif contributes strong resin traits. Given the genetics, plants may be quite stress tolerant (Zamnesia notes stress resistance). Internodal spacing may be moderate, but because of high resin potential, it's ideal to manage light and train carefully for dense bud structure. 4. Soil: Plagron LightMix Bio Why LightMix Bio? Using Plagron LightMix Bio, we're choosing a light, biologically active substrate that’s ideal for young plants and seedlings. Key soil characteristics: According to Plagron’s technical data sheet, LightMix has a pH around 6.3 (1:1.5). Electrical Conductivity (EC) is about 1.0 mS/cm (1:1.5) when measured by their method. Nutrient-wise, LightMix contains modest levels of N, P₂O₅, K₂O — enough to support seedlings but not so rich that there’s risk of nutrient burn early. Plagron recommends starting to feed only after the first week, so the soil gives a gentle, buffered base for early growth. Implications for germination: By sowing directly into this soil, we give seedlings a stable, gentle environment. The buffering capacity helps prevent pH swings. Biological activity (microorganisms) in LightMix helps nutrient uptake once roots grow, but since LightMix is relatively “light,” we must monitor and plan feeding as plants move beyond seedling stage. 5. Lighting Setup: Future of Grow We're using Future of Grow gear, which is absolutely top-tier, so here’s what to expect and how it plays into our germination + veg phases. Light unit: Air Grow Pro III 2.95 Hyper Red LED from Future of Grow. Power: ~600 W (±5%). Photon Flux / PPF: ~ 1,794 µmol/s. Efficiency: 2.95 µmol/J. Dimmer: has a 25% - 50% - 75% - 100% dimmer and supports 0-10 V dimming (compatible with controllers like Trolmaster) LED spectrum: “3-in-1” design: different spectral blends for different growth stages (germination, vegetative, flowering) + enriched red spectrum (“Hyper Red”) for boosting yield & resin. Advantages of Hyper Red: More red-light proportion increases resin production, helps open stomata, can reduce stretch, and may suppress botrytis risk. Energy savings: Compared to HPS, this LED uses 40-60% less energy per the manufacturer. IP54 rating, good build, driver remote cable (4m) so we can position driver outside the tent if needed. I control everything with Nova 2C Pro from Future of Grow. This gives me precise control over dimming (0–10 V), which is ideal for adjusting light intensity across phases (germination, veg, flower). With the Nova 2C Pro, you can program light schedules, dimming profiles, and likely integrate with other environment controls (if you have them) — giving you the flexibility to ramp up the light gently for seedlings, then scale up in veg, and later maximize for flowering. 6. What We Expect (Short-Term & Long-Term) Short-Term (Germ + Seedling): Germination rate: because you soaked the seeds and then sowed, I’d expect a high germination percentage, given healthy seeds and good water conditions. Timing: tails already out after ~24–36h is excellent. In soil, cotyledons should emerge in ~2–4 days, and true leaves by ~5–7 days (depending on conditions). Root development: roots will begin colonizing the LightMix, tapping into its modest nutrients. You should see good vigor if moisture, pH, and light are stable. Risk factors: overwatering, damping off, or too intense light stress at this stage. Use gentle misting, maintain humidity, and avoid driving the light too hard too early. Long-Term (Veg → Flower → Harvest): Vegetative phase: plants should remain relatively compact (given LSD’s indica-dominance), but with your LED, you can promote healthy branching and resinous pre-flowers. Flower phase: Expect robust resin production, thanks to Hyper-Red spectrum. The LSD genetics + red-enriched light may push for dense, potent buds. Yield: Realistically, yield will depend on how well you manage training, light, nutrients, and space — but given the reported potential (~700 g/m²), with your gear and a solid grow, you have a chance to get very respectable yields. Quality: Expect a classic skunky, earthy aroma, with the “trippy” effect LSD is known for. The terpene profile (caryophyllene, myrcene) should shine, especially if your environmental control is good. 7. Risks & Challenges, and How We’ll Mitigate Them Overwatering/damping-off Mitigation: Use light misting, allow soil surface to slightly dry, maintain humidity at moderate levels, and avoid waterlogging. pH drift Mitigation: Although LightMix is buffered, check pH of feed water once you start feeding; adjust if needed. Light stress Mitigation: Start with low dimmer settings, keep light at a safe distance in germ / seedling phase, then gradually ramp up. Stretch / internode control Mitigation: Use training (LST, topping, etc.) if needed, and take advantage of the red-enriched spectrum which naturally reduces excessive vertical stretch. Pest / disease Mitigation: Keep clean environment, good air circulation, monitor for early signs, and use environmentally friendly control strategies. 8. Metrics We'll Track & Report on GrowDiaries To make this truly educational and transparent, here are the metrics we document and report regularly: Light settings (dimmer %, height above canopy) Environmental conditions (temperature, humidity) Any nutrient data (once feeding begins) Training methods used (if any) Milestones (first node, stretch, preflowers) Photographs (high resolution) to document morphology 9. Conclusion / Reflection This germination run is more than just a “test”: it’s the foundation of a full seed-to-harvest journey with a legendary strain — LSD — under truly professional-level gear and high-quality organic soil. With the support of Zamnesia Seeds, Plagron, Future of Grow, and Cannakan, we have a dream team backing us. That means not just for yield or potency — but for education: growing in a way that inspires and informs. We are deeply grateful to everyone: sponsors, community, followers, and even critics — because their energy fuels our commitment to be open, rigorous, and passionate.

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.

Nothing but water this week. They have slowed down drinking. Think there just about done. Probably chop in the next few days it looks like having two in the earth box is really going to effect yeild. If I was to to this again I would flip when they are much smaller

Ya en la recta final familia, están apuntito, solo unos días más. Nuestras lemon kush ya recibieron su lavado de raíces , están sin productos ya solo AGUA. Controlamos de todas formas el Ph igual y que no baje por debajo de 6,2. Bestiales estás flores , un olor muy característico con tonalidades cítricas que recuerdan al limón. Todo un clásico en verdad. Estos ejemplares carecen de brazos laterales, son óptimas para un SOG desde semilla, pudiendo llenar 16 plantas en metro cuadrado.

Alles in allem ein guter strain. Sehr sehr oldschool kushy. Ertrag top. Den cut gibts wie immer bei ROOTS_FARMS. best genetik in europe👌

First attempt at defoliating today to expose additional bud sites. I’ve seen mixed thoughts on the topic, and in the spirit of trying things out I pulled the trigger. I anticipate a bit of stunting in the short term, but hoping for increased bud density down the line. Increasing dark time in hopes of increased florine, or whatever the flowering hormone is. Again, trying things out. She’s looking great though.

Mein outdoor spot ist noch nicht vollständig vorbereitet ich muss den boden noch düngen Dieses Jahr ist ein typ der ganz in der nähe von meinem pflanzen rumhängt Ich behalte die jungen pflanzen 2-3 Wochen drinnen bevor ich sie direkt in den Boden einpflanzen werde. Ich habe hilfreiche Pflanzen rund um mein beet gepflanzt Lavendel, kerbel, marigold und basilicum.

Here is a video tour of my back yard jungle. I am in the process of a huge clean-up now that the plants are ripening up and the buds are getting heavy. I'll post some photos tomorrow once the work is done. Some of the fan leaves are coming down now to promote light penetration and air circulation... don't want mildew.

The first picture is from last week and the videos are from today. It's been 56 days in veg so far. I was going to switch to flowering next week but decided to hold off and let it spend more time in recovery. To keep the branches down I used a wire clothes hanger and paper clips.

Purple punch auto Harvested! Everything went fine and was an easy growing season for me. I’ll come back and update on the dry weight result :)

That’s the day! I just flip her into 12/12 under 3 leds panel with 315 true watts I think I will put her under HPS after stretch I removed few fan leafs for more light

I have been super excited with everything up to this point . I have made all my preparations that I think need to be made and did some trial runs on my environment. I starting preparing around the 15th of January and my set up was complete around the 19th of February. I spaced my purchases out based on budget constraints. I wanted a cheap and efficient grow area. Some thing I paid more for because through all the research I did I felt quality was more important. If you are as excited as I was, you get pretty anxious when awaiting order status when you first order your seeds. You should remember you are ordering from an online seed bank not amazon. Most work Monday - Friday and are in a complete different time zone. I ordered my seeds from seed supreme Seedbank. I placed my order on 31 January and mailed money as directed. This was the scariest part for me especially when I didn’t hear anything back. I finally received a email on the 12th if February saying my invoice was paid and then subsequently mailed out on the 15th and I received on the 20th. One thing I would like to note that recommend to anyone mail cash is to make sure you spend the extra cash and track your payment. I’m currently germinating all five GSC I received I placed them in water for the first 24 hours and then a paper towel for approximately 40 Hours. I’ll add links to most of the items I purchased below. Some items I purchased through offer up and let it go app to save money.

Day 2 - 2/24/19: Nothing new to report no activity on the surface, misted watering at 5.8 PH. Day 3 - 2/25/19: Plant number 1 which had the longest tap root broke the surface I started a time lapse on it to cover the first moments of birth 😭 daddy is already so proud lmao. I have another light watering today with my humidity domes on, the intent is to have the plants roots work to get the required water and hopefully promote root growth. I also added 1ml of Rapid start and diluted into 1 gal. Day 4 - 2/26/19: Checked the status this morning prior to work and two more have reached the surface only two more remaining which I suspect will reach by the time I make it home from work. Misted this morning pot was looking pretty dry with the exception of the humidity domes, which I removed on all the sprouted seedling. I intend on shifting to a 20 on 4 off cycle and starting my other fans. Day 5 - 2/27/19: All five plants have broke the surface. I did a normal watering this am still utilizing the dome to avoid watering on top of the plants. I lowered the light again some of the early sprouters we stretching a little more than I wanted and appeared leggy to me. Day 6 - 2/28/19: Nothing really to report today. Excited for the name reveal tomorrow. I did a light watering. I played around with my ppm meter and ec I definitely plan on using in conjunction with my first feeding this weekend. Day 7 - 3/1/19: Was watering this morning normal levels. I also mixed a new feed to be ready for them tomorrow. While I was watering # 5 fell over I accidentally tipped it with the spout. I grabbed some left over soul to help prop it up hopefully she is ok.

Will up date in a week or 2
