Getting a bit worried, only grew 3cm this week. Was supposed to harvest this coming Tuesday but looks like she might take an extra 2-4 weeks.

This plant was a pleasure to grow, with cola buds dense and encrusted, and a problem free first grow. Seem to have gotten an OG dominant pheno with nice gelato hints of flavor and color; the citrus zest may or may not come out in the finished product, for me it is faint. Hope to grow this strain again in the future, definitely head-stash potential so my remaining steeds will be going in the vault. I let it hang dry a bit too long, but they’re currently a week into the cure at about 59% RH. My next grow will probably be the same set up, but improving on it with the experience I’ve gained through this process. I hit my 10 Oz total yield goal I’m pretty satisfied with my techniques and strain choice. Get this strain if you want an easy, high potency indica with impressive yields and good flavor. I’ll also be dry sifting the (tons of) sugar covered trim from both of the plants to press into resin, so I encourage y’all to take advantage of all that the plant provides. Cheers

# LSD Zamnesia Tripping 🙂 | Harvest Day — Week 14 From Seed Well… This one became something special. Week 14 from seed, harvest day officially arrived for our LSD girls, and honestly, standing in front of these plants during harvest felt a little surreal. The entire room had that strange mix of excitement, silence, stickiness, exhaustion, curiosity, and gratitude growers probably know very well. This run taught us a lot. Before diving into the harvest itself, a quick recap for everyone joining now: These plants were grown under 12/12 from seed. No traditional long vegetative phase. No giant bush-building period. No months of shaping before flowering. The idea behind these runs has always been curiosity: - observing morphology, - understanding structure, - exploring how genetics behave under flowering conditions from the beginning, - and learning how much expression comes naturally when we interfere less. And honestly? The morphology on these LSDs became fascinating. For a mostly indica-leaning hybrid, they absolutely did not develop the way many people would expect from a classic “indica structure.” Instead of short dense bushes, these girls built massive central colas with strong vertical expression and incredible flower stacking all the way through. Not the tallest plants in the world… …but the flower mass? Serious business. You can actually see it clearly in the photos where I’m standing beside them, holding them, comparing them to speakers, equipment, and studio gear. The scale becomes obvious immediately. The plants may not dominate a room vertically, but the density and flower production are honestly impressive. Huge colas. Heavy structure. Beautiful stacking. Outstanding resin production. And the closer harvest came, the more unreal they became. Of course, before chopping everything down, we had to bring them into the studio one final time. Some plants deserve proper portraits before the end, and these girls definitely earned that treatment. The studio sessions were incredible: - dramatic lighting, - macro photography, - behind-the-scenes moments, - live videos, - giant cola shots, - resin closeups, - and all the tiny details that are impossible to appreciate properly with the naked eye alone. This is also where macro photography becomes something really special. Macro photography is not just “zooming in.” It’s about revealing another world hidden inside the flower: - trichome heads, - resin texture, - pistil coloration, - gland development, - frost layering, - microscopic color changes, - tiny resin rivers running across sugar leaves. And harvest time is honestly one of the most beautiful phases for macro work because the plant is at peak expression: - swollen calyxes, - mature trichomes, - fading leaves, - curling pistils, - oily resin everywhere. The flowers almost stop looking real under proper magnification. And speaking about resin… Oh my God. The finger hash during harvest was absolutely insane. Or technically, since we are talking about live fresh material, this would be closer to charas than classic dry-trim finger hash. And there is actually a difference. Traditional finger hash usually comes from handling dried or partially dried flowers during trimming, while charas is collected directly from fresh living material. The resin profile, texture, aroma, and even effects can feel noticeably different because the compounds are still fully alive and fresh inside the plant material. This sticky dark resin has been used traditionally for centuries, especially in places like India, where charas still holds cultural, medicinal, and spiritual importance today. Even Lord Shiva is historically associated with charas in many traditions. And honestly, after handling these plants during harvest… it becomes very easy to understand why humans have respected this resin for such a long time. The flowers were unbelievably oily. Not dry frost. Not sandy frost. Not airy resin. Proper greasy, sticky, living resin. The kind that coats your gloves instantly and keeps building layer after layer while working. At some point during harvest, you stop trimming and start realizing you accidentally created little resin sculptures on your fingertips. 😄 We also froze around 800 grams of fresh material for future washing and extraction work. And this is only the beginning. Future reports will cover: - washing, - ice water extraction, - separating grades, - drying techniques, - collection, - curing, - and the entire process from fresh frozen material into final concentrate. So definitely stay tuned, because that part of the journey is going to be incredibly interesting too. The remaining plants are now hanging whole for drying. Instead of aggressively breaking everything down into tiny branches immediately, we chose to dry the plants mostly whole to slow the drying process naturally and preserve quality as much as possible. Current expectation: - around 7–12 days drying, depending on how each plant behaves individually. Because at this stage, patience matters. Drying too quickly can destroy weeks and months of work surprisingly fast: - aroma loss, - harsh smoke, - terpene degradation, - uneven curing, - brittle flower texture. Harvest is not the finish line. Drying and curing are part of the grow too. And honestly, some people underestimate just how important these final stages truly are. Now let’s talk trichomes for a moment, because this is always an important conversation. For me personally, harvest timing is all about trichome maturity. This run was harvested with: - the majority cloudy, - a small but important touch of amber, - and a few still transitioning. That is personally where I believe the plant reaches peak balance. Cloudy trichomes usually represent peak cannabinoid maturity and expression for the type of effect I personally prefer: strong, complex, alive, euphoric, full-spectrum. Amber absolutely has value too, and I encourage people to experiment with later harvest windows if they enjoy heavier, more sedative effects. But in my experience, once too many heads become amber, part of the energetic complexity starts shifting toward degradation pathways and more CBN-heavy expressions. That can be wonderful medicine too. Just different medicine. This is why harvest timing becomes deeply personal for every grower eventually. There is no universal “perfect harvest day.” There is only observation, intention, and preference. And these girls felt ready. The fading across the leaves confirmed it beautifully too: - yellows, - pale greens, - orange pistils, - swollen flowers, - fully expressed resin, - end-of-life coloration everywhere. The plants looked alive and dying at the same time in the most beautiful possible way. Mr. Baggy, of course, stayed with us throughout the entire process helping along the way 😄 and we included a few behind-the-scenes moments because honestly, those moments matter too. Sometimes the chaos around the grow becomes part of the story itself. And next week? Next week becomes another important chapter: - trimming, - curing updates, - smoke review, - washing process, - extraction updates, - and the final transformation of everything we have been nurturing for all these weeks. This harvest actually happened a while ago already, which gave us enough time to let the drying and curing process evolve properly before discussing final quality. We wanted the next report to feel complete instead of rushed. And finally… Thank you. To Zamnesia for the genetics. To Plagron. To F.O.G. To the LEDs and all the gear involved. To GrowDiaries. To the 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 day one. To the people who just discovered this run now. To the lovers and even the haters 😄 If someone spent even a few moments here sharing this journey with us, then they deserve some gratitude and positive energy in return. Wishing everyone healthy plants, peaceful minds, sticky fingers, beautiful harvests, and a little curiosity on their own journey too. 🌱 📡 DELETED @ 1K Please stay tuned.we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@TheDogDoctorOfficial NEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.

Harvest time ... Trim jail done after two months of harvesting, drying and curing ... a lot of work for a solo grow ... Yield is enough for a year... or two... won't disclose weight 😉

Vaporized on plant a solution based on tomato leaves extract…aphids prevention… Prepared the watering system: Blumat Classic XL for few day’s autonomy. Added light Mix Plagron and super guano(TopCrop) in the pot. Added aromatic plants, repelling species around the culture: mint and basil against whitefly , red spider mit, thrips, aphids, ants.

Just some glamour shots

This will be a bit of a challenge, one of the LCC is 45cm while the others are 25cm. I gave them little ramps to keep canopy even and all 3 are still looking healthy.

The plant is doin very well, the colas are all getting bigger and the resin production is huge. I'm near the harvest so within few days I'll give her the last nutrients ans the next week I'm gonna flush her. I'm very happy about this plant, she takes nutes very well and give zero problem.

Gorilla Melon und Rainbow Melon sind zum Glück doch gekommen nach neusaat 😃👍🏻

Día 29: Riego con Base Sensi Bloom A+B 2,5 ml/l, Big Bud 2 ml/l, Bud Candy 2ml/l, B-52 2ml/l y Super Silver de Agrobeta 0,1ml/l. Día 31: Riego con Sensizym 2ml/l.

Tag 48, Woche 3 der Blüte kommt morgen zum Ende… 🌷🌺 Soweit haben sie sich extrem gut gestreckt und Bio Masse aufgebaut. Stamm kommt photoperiodischen am Ende der Blüte nah, deutet darauf hin, dass es der Pflanze super geht, sieegr als genügend Nährstoffe zur Verfügung hat und anstatt Stämme bauen zwei der Ladys einfach Rohrsysteme auf 😆 die angezeigten Äste sind teilweise so dick wie bei anderen die ganze Pflanze 🌱 Terps sind super Candy, eine Streckt sich komischerweise immer noch, war ein Spätzündung, dafür meiste Bio Masse von allen. 3 blühen bereits gut, eine davon lässt tatsächlich mit der Trichomproduktion auf sich warten, wieso keine Ahnung aber interessant zu beobachten 😄

2nd week of veg. Will be using Cal/Mag and Grow With Grease for watering when needed until I begin to see nute issues. 2/16 D2 adjusted LST and turned the pot for better light penetration. 2/19 D5 mid day @ 1430 3 potential main colas were topped. 2/20 D6 The girls received a lite feeding as we transition to another beautiful week of veg growth.

9/15 I'm starting by saying that the plant doctor is a great product. For the first time in forever I have no traces of wpm. The fusarium doesn't seem to be spreading g either. Blueberry is exploding in growth. It seems like everyday the buds are bigger. We had a MASSIVE wind storm. I mean a windstorm that knocked down trees. The blueberry was the only one that wasn't properly vertically trellises. My tiny little supports didn't hold. Nothing broke and there's no damage but I had to move the plant and secure it better. I didn't have time before the doctor but I HAD to do it. I used the trellis from another plant to keep the branches upright as they're so heavy. If it RAINED those branches would've snapped for sure. I put the little one in the lean-to beside the barn out of the wind. Blueberry is getting closer. I really think k it'll make it. UPDATE: I took some buds from the plants that died in early flower and washed them for ice water hash. Well I'm in the process of washing some. There's a lot and I want to see if it's any good before I kill my arms. It's a great forearm workout though. Although it's hard to take a drink now. Of course that's when it REALKY started bubbling furiously. I know I'll get double the next pull at least. I'm going to let it sit and maybe add some more when I do it. I'll post a temple ball if it works out. If not I have other stuff to wash. I may do a diary on that. Went back over and all plants seem happy despite the gusts of wind. Luckily I was able to get the tarp up. I'm taking a break before I die from exhaustion. I felt off the ladder earlier this morning..... 9/16 I watered the plants a little. The soil was dry to the touch but i noticed the container was still heavy so I lightly watered. With all this sun and it supposed to be 80 today I felt I needed to water. The wind is still horrific. I have my blueberry trellises pretty good. Others have wind breaks. I fell hard yesterday morning hurrying around. I was on an upside down bucket on one foot and it kicked put from under me. Legs flew in the air. Luckily I wasn't injured. At least that's something I've taken from martial arts that's benefitted me. Knowing how to fall. Anyway everything is progressing nicely in flower. I'm goi g to continue with beastie bloom but I'll switch over shortly to cha ching. I'm getting close. Also ran a batch of water hash with the buds of dead plants. I didn't think I'd get anything but I did. Now to properly dry it and see if it's any good. Still a heart break. Oh well. 9/17 I totally fucked everything up. I uploaded a shit ton of pictures to the wrong week. The app wasn't working. Hope I didn't fuck or too much. Fed everything today. The blueberry is in late flower. Some buds look REAL close to being done. My wife keeps talking to me so I can't finish this. I have to do things one at a time sometimes and this just isn't working here. Massive wind storms but no broken branches. Temps get down close to freezing at night. Low Temps are bringing out fall colors. I took a video of the blueberry. the other two won't be done for a little bit though. Oh well. I'll just bring them inside the garage at night. 9/18 I've been out multiple times to shake the buds today. It's not raining now but it did last night and today. Another day or two of rain and then some. I che ked some trichs and some buds are done. I'm just waiting for the rain to clear up and we get some sun. Wish I checked the trichs before this bout of rain. It's not raining now though and hadn't for a little while. Prime for thieves but I'm not realky worried. To much hassle for one plant and there's dogs. I may harvest in sections. I was going to do plant doctor today but it will have to he tomorrow. 9/19 It's been raining but today looks good. Treated with plant doctor. I can't say enough good things about that product. I got the trich scope out after a few friends said my plants look ready. Some buds are. That's how it goes. Buds don't all mature at once. I like a solid couch lock though. If the forecast is just going to he more rain then I'll do a selective harvest. It's about the same time the strain finished last year. Now I've got earwigs eating my buds from the bottom up. UPDATE: I found my old trich scope but couldn't find the right batteries anywhere. I wad able to buy a new one for ten bucks. I went back over having more time. After ACTUALLY checking the trichs they were mature. Obviously the whole plant can't be at the same stage but everything is nice and milky. Earwigs were starting to eat the bottom of buds and had stripped a couple lower branches. After seeing this and having a nice day where the flowers dried out and an upcoming rainy forecast I chose to harvest the majority of the blueberry plant. I left some small branches but I'm almost positive it will just turn into earwig food. Seems early to ke but looking back this was about the same time this strain was ready last year. Same problem with the ear wigs only I let them eat the while inner plant before I called it quits and took what was left after it was my finally my perfect stage. I was using a USB microscope and was being to picky. I think I made the right choice.

here already a little more grown and applying the techniques lst apical pizzicato experimenting, Seeing how the techniques are manifested, some were done poorly, so their results were somewhat strange or curious, if they did, you judge, errors such as not cutting the apical trying to do the pruning, poe error from fmi and only cut the tiny growing leaves that's why you will see those rare leaves

The preflowers show up, thin stems but a bushy plants

This week marked the final stretch of the grow the Epsilon F1 is now fully mature and absolutely covered in thick, frosty trichomes. The main colas have gained impressive density, with most pistils turning a rich orange while the trichome heads are mostly milky with a few amber ones starting to appear. The fade is beautiful, with yellow and purple tones spreading through the fan leaves as the plant naturally finishes its life cycle and directs all remaining energy into the buds. The aroma has become more intense and complex sweet, fruity, and slightly earthy. Overall, she looks perfectly healthy and ready for harvest very soon. A light flush is underway, and I’ll be checking the trichomes daily to harvest at the ideal point depending on the desired effect, either a bit earlier for a more uplifting high or a few days later for a deeper, more relaxing one.
