Day 50 girls a growing so good Day 51 girls are so happy watered and they are happy Day 52 wow got some awesome pictures and got a video of our girls. Day 53 girls growing got watered Day 54 girls got so much water yesterday they didn’t need any today Day 55 watered the girls man the drank it up

📆 Semana 5 La floración entra en una fase de desarrollo mucho más evidente y la planta concentra prácticamente toda su energía en el engorde de los cogollos. La estructura ya está completamente formada y las flores comienzan a unirse a lo largo de las ramas, ganando densidad y presencia. La producción de tricomas aumenta cada día y el aroma se intensifica notablemente. Los pistilos siguen siendo mayoritariamente blancos, aunque empiezan a apreciarse los primeros cambios en los más antiguos. El consumo de agua continúa siendo elevado y la planta responde muy bien a una nutrición equilibrada. ⚡ EC: 1.5 – 1.6 💧 pH: 6.3 🌡️ Agua: 18–22°C 🌫️ Humedad: 40–50% ☀️ Luz: Sol directo de julio 🌡️ Temp. ambiente: 25–34°C 🔥 Nota: La fase de engorde ya está en marcha. Es un buen momento para mantener la estabilidad del cultivo, evitando tanto excesos como carencias, ya que el tamaño final de los cogollos empieza a definirse. Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

Had a good week, this has been a very easy grow, she's responding really well to the LST and defoliation. I would suggest any new growers try out Red Devil Auto from Weedseedsexpress. They're having some great sales right now!

So my first attempt at SCRoG seems to be working. In one short week these two girls went from stretching lanky plants to a well managed grow. Daily leaf tuck and minor adjustments in placement. Bud sites have the first sign of white pistils so they are now in flower.

Night Ritual - Wizard Trees Day 116 🚿 Watered every 2-3 days with 2L of RO tap water pH'd to 6.3; I wait for her to dry back to about 5% soil moisture content. As she is approaching harvest, I have slowly reduced the nutrients until she was receiving just plain water. From today, she is just about half way through flush, so another watering and then she'll be left to dry back. ✂️ No work on her this week, she had a good defoliation last week, so she is just sitting there waiting for harvest 👍🏻 🌸 Week 9 of Bloom, and all her trichomes have taken on a cloudy white colour, with her pistils drying and becoming amber. She has been thoroughly flush over the last 10 or so days, so she should be good to harvest in the next couple of days 🙌🏻

I see a little amber tricomes now on both so i will remove all my nutrients and begin to give ph adjusted water , around 6.4 👍💨💨💨💨😎

Week 3 (Jan 18 - Jan 24) So far so good. The new plant (in the new water only organic soil) is doing a good job catching up to the others. Going to name this one River. Oddly enough though, her partner isn't doing well at all. Going to give it a few more days, but looks like we may down to just four plants for this grow.

Week 1 Today I started 2 Strawberry Pie Auto from Fastbuds. 🍓🍓 I'll start by giving 18 hours of light and controlling the ph 6.5 without nutrients Let's see if they want to grow or not.

7/21/17: They got their watering today. They drank as much as usual. It was MUCH easier feeding out of an 10 gallon container with a spigot. I kinda wish i got the 20 gallon one as that would mean only one mix, but the 10 is fine. I left everything sit after PHing to stabilize, and the runoff looked normal. Pix posted of potential calcium def on speed bud #2 and the kush. The kush looks somewhat different, but maybe I just caught it earlier. Used full Strength CalMagic with 1/2 nutes. I also PHed slightly higher in the 5.9 range to make sure the calcium was available. I didn't expect potential lockout at 5.7-5.8, but looking at the chart Calcium needs slightly higher PH so I hope this takes care of it. I tightened down the original LST in case watering the coco dislodged it, very little. I may start some leaf LST soon to provide the lower canopy more light. We shall see how they look at lights on and decide. Not sure how much further LST to do, because I believe we have our first sexing, as I noticed 2 fine hairs (i think) on NLxBB. Pic posted. Next feeding, any ladies showing their privates will get late stage veg feeding. I may even switch the runts to that feeding even if they haven't shown sex yet. I may even do full strength, as if anything, these plants are showing deficiencies with not even a trace of burn, and if I am going to get any volume out of the yield, I need to start pushing because they aren't that big right now. I have been told LST is not so good when the plants start to flower. I have also been told that autos will continue veg growth for about 2 weeks after sex before they actually start putting energy into flower, so if that is the case LST would still be appropriate during this late veg? Anyone with any experience on this matter? The smell is getting much stronger. During feeding this morning, i left all the tent doors open and went to preparing and other things. When I reentered the room, the smell was QUITE noticeable outside of the tent. I also got my new EC meter. it expresses EC in terms of like, 500, 1500, 2000, etc. It looks like PPM but it is not, it is a very detailed EC reading. So, in the previous example, it should be read as 0.5. 1.5.. and 2.0 EC. I had a TDS pen, but I got it free, unexpectedly, when I switched to a Pur water filter. I figured it as a novelty and they were just bragging. It ended up working reasonably well when I tested faucet vs distilled and nutes, so I have been using it, but since it was an unspecified PPM scale, it seemed wiser to be more accurate with no confusion EC. For the record, the TDS pen from Pur pretty much matched EXACTLY with my new fancy EC meter, which means the Pur water filter works as well as advertised and it took my 150-200 tap water to 0 every time. I certainly have been happy with it for my drinking water. 7/22/17 I am starting to think about more frequent feedings because man do they look perky today, after yesterday's feeding. I really want the advantage of massive root structure that wet/dry cycling provides, but these plants respond well to food. I continue to ponder. 7/23/17 : the good news, we are REALLY growing. I think I have the VPD managed. not under control, but managed. its going to cost me a fortune in AC bill, but I think I got it figured out 18 out of 24 hours of the day. the other 6 are completely out of my control and it is what it is. the bad news... the damage on the kush never did quite look like cal def (speed bud #2 DID look like cal def). i think i saw an aphid. aphid damage looks like what I saw. i crushed it instantly, then regretted crushing it before positively IDing it. either way, a trip to to the hardware store for a pressure sprayer cuz tonight before lights out, its a foliar spray of neem oil and sm-90, followed by a dusting of diatomaceous earth. gott a handle this before budding, and we already have at least 1 lady for sure showing her privates (NLxBB). So, far my 1st impressions for my 1st grow ever can be summed up by the phrase "I didn't know I would need to know how to juggle to get this job!" I'm actually having fun, but I am starting to get get cash fatigue throwing money at each new problem. Granted, I had the neem oil, diatomaceous earth, the DE duster, and the SM-90 already in reserve, but I had to go out AGAIN and grab a pressure sprayer and distilled water. it's not like its expensive, but it adds up. I know the payoff is coming. every time I open that tent and smell it, i can tell the payoff is coming. so much to learn, so many little obstacles to overcome. i am glad i enjoy it. i would hate to do this if i didnt actually enjoy it, like if it was a job. it fits neatly into a challange/recreation area, as far as growing. It's not too easy nor too hard. but it IS demanding. at what i make an hour, it is likely cheaper to buy it. but i truly am enjoying this. you can't buy that. this plant is teaching me a ton already. patience, being the major one i really am enjoying it. i wish i was better at it, but that will come with time... speaking of time, the time lapse is SICK the last 3 days. you are going to have to wait until the end of the week, but trust me, it is fascinating. i wish i could do that part better, more professional, but my focus is on the plant. the time lapse is just bonus and remember, it is VERY cheap to do time lapse. if you want to do it yourself, it will cost you $50 or so for the basics. you gotta do some computer work, but its not hard. i can help. it may be minor, but its something i can contribute. i am enthralled with the footage. i am SO glad i did that. plus i can monitor temps and humidity real time anywhere from my phone with proper port forwarding. since there has been 0% burn, i am VERY tempted to do a full early veg feeding (700pm) before i transition to 1/2 late veg feeding until flower. gonna sit on this, but i likely will push them just to see if they can be pushed, and if so, which strains... again, enjoyment =D a little more LST, main stem hopefully it will help with the bud cuz its gonna fuck with the time lapse 7/24/17 About a half hour before lights out I sprayed them with 1 part sm-90, 5 parts water, and 1 ml per gallon of need oil. This morning Speed Bub #1 had a brown mark on it. I am hoping these marks aren't pests at all, but light burns from draps of water. Only time will tell. I will spray them again tonight or tomorrow, but this time 10 minutes or so before lights out just in case. I have not dusted with diatomaceous earth yet, as I am not convinced I have an infestation yet. Does the brown spot in the new pics look like anything specific to anyone else? 7/26/17 Not much to report. They are growing steady. Still, most not sexed. I am starting to think the stall at the beginning wasn't stunting, but a root network taking hold. I am also starting to think this time limit of autoflowers lacks the urgency that some people speculate. For instance, the speed buds should have started flowering in the 3rd week. We are almost done with week 4 and they aren't even sexed yet, but growing fine, if not slightly small for this age. I suspect autoflowers DO have an internal timer, but that timer may not be as strict as some think; the timer may take into account environment and adjust itself. I don't know, but I haven't seen anyone using 7 gallon pots for autos, so this early stall and late sexing may be unique to this situation, and may support my theory that the week they apparently did not growing on the time lapse, that there were roots going nuts. That would spell out environmental factors, no? I was going to feed them today, but the bags are still so heavy and the tops arent even all dry yet, so I am going to wait a day and go into late veg feeding at lights up tomorrow. Not sure, but I think it's time, wet/dry cycle or not. I will of course, monitor them but they look beautiful. One mistake I made for sure that I won't make again is not fiilling the pots to the top. Not only did I create unnecessary shadows, but the leaves are now pushing and folding on the sides and I have to manually make sure they are straight and getting sufficient light. Practice makes perfect, I will do better next time. A few of the plants are getting some more spots. In my opinion, it is either damage from the neem treatment, or def because they are hungry. Still no evidence of bugs. I was looking for the plants to tell me they were hungry because they look so healthy and the bag is heavy, so I will take this as their message for sure and feed them at lights up tomorrow. Either way, the plants still look great and are growing like weeds. I did wait long to feed them, so this is expected. Later in the day tomorrow, when they perk after watering, we will do their portraits for the week and get this weeks time lapse uploaded. Yeah, I am pretty sure it's calcium. It's a bit worse than I thought, so will for sure get on lights on feeding. I either need to increase calcium in the feed, or feed them more often. I guess it's time to move to more aggressive feeding, at least that is what they seem to be telling me. Normal 1/2 strength feed given more often. 7/27/17 They were fed today, late veg nutes. Will provide details in week 5. I was going to take photos today, but spent almost 8 hours in the ER to be told that I was as healthy as a teeny bopper. That compliment is going to hurt a whole lot when that bill comes in. Of note, I have raised the LEDs 2 nights in a row and the smell is getting much thicker. Anyway, I am exhausted, and have to work tomorrow, so I will take their portraits a little late tomorrow and get the time lapse up before opening week 5.

Busy trimming all week long :) Not much to add.

Day 78. Visited outdoors garden. Girls in ground grows way bigger than in pots. Biggest strain Lemonade Og. Same as indoors all Whiteys almost finished. My friend does this run, i had no time, all they got is my soil mix and fishmix by biobizz in veg. Those Autos are really good, but all so different, pattern stays the same indoors vs outdoors. Indoor girls can't get back. This is 4sure my last attempt in mixing outdoors with indoors, girls never loved it at mines. One Whitey is almost done, she needs just good flush for a week plus, in two weeks both Diesels will go aswell. Lemon Og is the long runners, but like i predicted, they grow huge plants, just not in this run ;))) Ill give a go for Whiteys and Lemon Ogs indoors one day soon, despite my promise not to grow Autos ... ;)))) Maybe i give FastBud a go vs them. Have big respect to theirs products. Day 81. Had too easy 3 night shifts, even was answering grow questions ,))) So ... Came home and did what i had to do - Great Flush. As suspected Whiteys are smallest, fastest to flower and fastest to finish, one will be chopped in a week. Lemonade OGs are bigest, but latest to flower. One Diesel has really nice colours, but its DEFICIENCY ;))) Anyway, can't get my issue, maybe its not light shock, maybe my roots don't get same airflow as in greenhouse, where they basically stand on two planks with good gap in-between and even after. For next grow ill buy trays .Always doubted do i need them, but sometimes i do, so its time for upgrade. I wanted to get answers and made proper flush. Each plant got 50 Liters of water 7.0 ph and after that : 80 ppm, 6.2 ph , 1Liter for each plant to reload soil ph. Future will show, or maybe will confuse me even more ;))) I am not expecting any harvest from those autos, i gave away more than 20 plants, those where left purely for taste, but to crack why my plants from outdoor don't grow inside, i would love to. Happy Growing !

The plant grows. I have now added an oxygen pump to the water tank. Let's see what effect that has. You can see the progress every day. I've also bought some phosphoric acid to keep the PH down (hopefully). My water tank is very large, about 75 litres. I also have a few holes in the lid, so a lot of rainwater gets into the tank through this and also through the openings in the pots. Never had to top up the water yet lol. At the end of the fourth week I'm happy with the growth, especially as it's my first plant. -------------------------- Die Pflanze wächst. Ich habe mittlerweile einen Sauerstoffpumpe in den Wassertank gegeben. Mal sehen wie sich das auswirkt. Man sieht den Fortschritt jeden Tag. Ich habe außerdem Phosphorsäure gekauft, um den PH-Wert endllich stabil unten zu halten (hoffentlich). Mein Wassertank ist sehr groß, ca. 75 Liter. Außerdem habe ich ein paar Löcher im Deckel, so dass dadurch und auch durch die Öffnungen in den Töpfen viel Regenwasser in den Tank gelangt. Musste noch nie Wasser nachfüllen lol. Am Ende von der vierten Woche bin ich zufrieden mit dem Wachstum, vor allem da es meine erste Pflanze ist.

LSD Zamnesia Tripping 🙂 | Final Report — Cure, Smoke Review & Closing The Chapter Well… Here we are. The final chapter of this LSD journey. And honestly, after everything: * from seed, * to flower, * to harvest, * to drying, * to trimming, * to washing, * to temple balls, * to curing, * to finally sitting down peacefully and actually enjoying the medicine… …I can honestly say this run became something much bigger than just “growing weed.” This became a full experience. A full learning process. A full journey. And before diving into the smoke review itself, let’s do one final recap for everyone arriving here for the first time. These girls were grown under 12/12 from seed from the very beginning. No long vegetative stage. Very little training. Almost no aggressive manipulation. Mostly allowing the genetics to express themselves naturally while we simply guided the environment around them. And throughout the entire run, these plants surprised us constantly. Huge central flower development. Massive stacking. Incredible resin production. Beautiful terpene expression. And honestly… some very unexpected structure for indica-leaning genetics. This harvest was divided across several reports because there was simply too much happening to compress everything into one single update. We wanted to properly document: * harvest, * drying, * trimming, * curing, * fresh frozen preparation, * washing, * temple ball production, * extraction evolution, * and finally the smoke review itself. GrowDiaries limits the amount of files we can upload per update, so instead of rushing through everything quickly, we decided to slow down and explain the process properly week by week. And honestly? I’m very happy we did. Because now we can finally close this chapter understanding not only how these girls grew… …but how they evolved. And evolution is honestly the perfect word here. The flowers themselves cured for well over a month, some even approaching two months now. And during that time, the transformation became beautiful. The aroma deepened. The sharp greener notes disappeared. The smoke softened dramatically. And the terpene profile became something honestly very difficult to describe perfectly with words. To me personally? This smells like: * earthy sourness, * soft skunk, * herbal spice, * and a gentle diesel layer hiding underneath everything. Not aggressive diesel. Not overpowering fuel. More like an old-school soft diesel wrapped inside earthy sweetness and skunky herbal notes. And somehow… despite not being truly sweet… it still feels sweet. One of those terpene profiles that almost tricks your brain. The smoke itself became incredibly smooth. Very soft inhale. Very soft exhale. Dense smoke without becoming harsh. And one thing I really appreciated: the inhale and exhale remain surprisingly similar. Sometimes flowers smell incredible in the jar but lose complexity during combustion. This one did not. The flavor stays present throughout the entire experience. Now about the effects… Despite the name LSD, I personally would not describe this as psychedelic medicine. At least not in the “seeing colors and melting walls” kind of way 😄 To me, this is euphoric medicine. Social medicine. Happy medicine. The kind that: * makes conversations flow, * makes music feel warmer, * makes nature feel beautiful, * makes food taste amazing, * makes you laugh more, * makes you relax without disconnecting from yourself. This is the kind of medicine I would happily enjoy: * during a beach walk, * with friends at dinner, * during a peaceful afternoon, * listening to music, * creating art, * talking for hours, * or simply enjoying life slowly. Very balanced. Relaxing without becoming sedative. Strong without becoming overwhelming. And honestly? Very emotionally comfortable medicine. No paranoia. No anxiety. No mental heaviness. No unpleasant race. Just calm, warm, euphoric relaxation. A really beautiful balance. Now let’s talk about the extraction side of this run… Because these girls absolutely shined there too. And honestly? They washed beautifully. The fresh frozen material produced incredible resin quality and gave us one of the most satisfying parts of this entire journey. Everything regarding: * freezing, * washing, * ice water extraction, * collection, * freeze drying, * pressing, * temple ball formation, * and curing… was explained in detail in previous reports for anyone curious about the full process. But now that some curing time has passed… something magical started happening. The temple balls evolved. And this is where hash becomes truly fascinating. The hash you are seeing now looks completely different from the fresh temple balls shown previously because the compounds inside are evolving over time. And that evolution is natural. At first, freshly pressed hash is often: * smoother, * more uniform, * more elastic, * sometimes shinier. But during curing: * oils begin migrating, * terpene fractions separate and recombine, * cannabinoids continue evolving, * moisture stabilizes, * oxidation slowly changes color and texture, * crystalline structures begin appearing, * and the entire resin starts transforming internally. That sandy crystalline texture appearing inside the cured hash? That is part of the evolution process. And honestly… it is beautiful to observe. The hash almost begins looking alive. Changing week after week. Softening internally while crystallizing externally in some areas. Developing complexity. Developing depth. Developing personality. This is why traditional hash makers allow temple balls to age for months or even years. Good hash is not rushed. And the smoke? Absolutely beautiful. The small sample we opened after roughly 15–20 days of curing already showed: * full melt behavior, * deep flavor, * rich oily smoke, * long-lasting taste, * and incredibly smooth combustion. The rest now remains vacuum sealed for long-term aging. And honestly? I cannot wait to revisit it months from now. Final dry flower numbers for the LSD girls: * 287g dry flower * 107.3g dry flower Final total: 🌱 394.3 grams dry flower And that does not even include: * the fresh frozen extraction material, * temple balls, * finger hash, * trim-bin collection, * or future cured resin evolution. For a 12/12-from-seed run with minimal intervention… I’m honestly very happy with these results. We also have to talk about Grove Bags for a moment because they genuinely made curing extremely easy and consistent during this process. For anyone unfamiliar: Grove Bags are designed to help stabilize humidity exchange naturally while reducing the need for constant burping and jar management. Do they replace proper drying? Absolutely not. Nothing replaces a proper dry. But once the flowers are dried correctly, they help maintain an incredibly stable curing environment with much less stress and handling. And honestly? For larger harvests especially, they become incredibly practical. Now… before closing this chapter completely… Thank you. To Zamnesia for the genetics, the Bubbleator, the support, and the trust. To Plagron. To F.O.G. To the LEDs. To Grove Bags. To the gear involved. To GrowDiaries. To the entire community. To the longtime followers and OGs. To the new curious visitors. To the supporters. To the skeptics. To the silent viewers. To the people who stayed since the beginning. To the people who discovered this journey halfway through. To the lovers. And yes… even the haters 😄 If someone spent even a few moments here sharing this experience with us, then they deserve gratitude too. And of course… special thanks to Mr. Baggy for staying with us through every single stage of the madness 😄 From trimming sessions… to washing… to temple balls… to studio chaos… to hash curing… the fluffy supervisor never abandoned his post. And even though this chapter closes here… the journey itself continues. We may return months from now to revisit the cured hash evolution and see how time transforms it further. And meanwhile? New runs are already beginning. New genetics. New experiments. New lessons. New mistakes. New beautiful moments. So if anyone enjoyed this journey… You are always welcome here.

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.

All, Still just watering only.All looking slow growing. Pineapple express quite a small and short.

From the start i wanted these plants to grow on its natural potential. No topping, no training. My experiment was to see the results compared to a trained plant. From what i saw, deffo topp or train these. Even if it takes longer to grow, it will give better yields. Overall its got a strong and tasty smoke. Just didnt harvest in 8 weeks like what the manufacturer sais. But 12 weeks is not bad. Dry weight: 32 grams Atleast this grow was a success, so im happy. Next is Mephisto genetics! Thank you for reading!!

Transplanted from red solo cup to 2 gallon pot mid week. Trying to build solid roots that are slightly bound. Intention is to train the roots horizontally and vertically in their final 7 Gallon cloth pots. I have reduced my plants from 3 to 2 plants. I feel 2 plants work better for a Scrog in a 2x4 tent. I am watering (200ppm, 6.7ph) with a 2ml solution of Seaweed Extract roughly 2.5 times per week. I am also applying it as a foliage spray using a pesticide sprayer.(brand new, so clean) Runoff water PPM 750(due to FF Ocean Soil) Ph 5.8. Same day of transplant I put my plants under my Mars Hydro Tsl2000 on full power 40 inches from the plant. Following day: 25 inches Following day: 16 inches (best recommend distance by cocoforcannabis.com) helpful site for tested lights. Currently both plants have 4 nodes. I intend to top above the 2nd node once 5 nodes appear. I intend to scrog in an X pattern with the 4 main colas that should develop.

This was the last photos and video I took before I chopped them. One of the girls started to yellow on the sugar leaves quiet badly!

420 Fastbuds Week 1 Cherry Cola Auto Hey hey what up grow family. Started another couple seeds from 420Fastbuds of this amazing looking strain Cherry Cola Auto. Germination started on 9/21 and 48hrs later after soaking in a glass of water they where put into the soil. Fast forward 48 more hours and we have sprouts that appear to be healthy. All in all Happy Growing
