Hi guys I hope your all good, So its been a mad week! Had to have a switch around. So the mimosa sherberts have been a nightmare but I think I got them back on track, there a good few weeks behind now. Gelato cakes are doing brilliant! Frosting up lovely and smell amazing, I reckon 4 weeks max left on these 2 autos, then its waiting on the sherbert mimosa to show me some nice buds. I have 1 blue cheese fem and 2 x dark phoenix vegging in there now. I will repot them when the autos are all done and finished. Happy growing guys 👌💪💚 Hi guys I just got around to defoliating and tieing back down the sherbert mimosas, its looking like each node is a 40cm long main, I cant wait for these to start producing now. Happy growing guys.

It’s been a good week of bud growth. I started turning up the dial to 400watts over night when the temps start to lower. I did add an hps to add color and wattage to the grow and not break the bank. So far it’s paying off. With allot of heat I’m keeping my eye on the water levels. Refilling as needed.

# The Frozen Archive #1 ❄️📚 ## First Steps Into Ice & Water Extraction | Unboxing, First Washes & New Beginnings Hello GrowDiaries family! 👋❄️🌱 Welcome to the very first entry of a new series that I have wanted to start for a long time. Today we begin The Frozen Archive. This series will follow our journey through fresh frozen material, ice & water extraction, solventless concentrates, curing experiments, storage methods, and everything that happens between harvest and the final product. The goal is simple: To create an honest archive that allows both the community and myself to follow the evolution of these extractions over time. Some entries will focus on specific genetics. Others will focus on techniques, equipment, observations, and experiments. This first entry is all about beginnings. And like many beginnings, it starts with learning. --- ## A Huge Thank You To Zamnesia Before anything else, a huge thank you to Zamnesia for providing the Bubbleator machine and for making this new chapter possible. The machine arrived extremely well packaged and protected. Everything inside the box was carefully wrapped and secured, ensuring that every component arrived in perfect condition. Alongside the machine were accessories, filtration bags, instructions, and everything required to begin exploring the world of machine-assisted ice & water extraction. As someone who has performed hand washes in the past but never worked with a machine like this before, I was genuinely excited to finally put it to work. This is my first documented experience using a Bubbleator. There will be successes. There will be mistakes. There will be lessons. And all of them will become part of this archive. --- ## What Is Fresh Frozen? Before we begin the extraction process itself, it is important to explain what fresh frozen material actually is. Instead of drying and curing the flowers after harvest, the material is frozen immediately after being processed. This helps preserve many of the volatile compounds that can be lost during drying and curing. The goal is to capture the plant as close as possible to its living state. In this case, the material being used comes from the previous run, which many of you have already followed through harvest. Throughout those diaries I intentionally collected and preserved material specifically for these future extractions. Today, that material finally leaves the freezer. --- ## What Is Ice & Water Extraction? Ice & water extraction is one of the most traditional solventless extraction methods available. The concept is beautifully simple. Cold temperatures make the trichome heads brittle. Gentle agitation helps separate those trichomes from the plant material. The resulting mixture is then filtered through a series of micron screens which allow the resin glands to be collected while removing unwanted plant matter. No chemical solvents. No hydrocarbons. No shortcuts. Just ice. Water. Movement. Patience. And trichomes. --- ## The First Wash With the machine prepared, the process could begin. Ice was added. Fresh frozen material was loaded into the 220-micron work bag. More ice was placed on top. Cold water was added. And then the waiting began. Watching the machine start spinning for the first time was exciting. The water slowly changed color as resin and plant material began moving through the system. Temperatures remained extremely cold, hovering around freezing conditions and helping maintain the ideal environment for extraction. This was the first true wash performed with the Bubbleator. Not only were we processing material. We were learning the machine itself. Learning timing. Learning technique. Learning observations. And documenting every step. --- ## Collecting The Resin Once the wash cycle was complete, the water was drained and passed through the filtration system. This is where the magic starts becoming visible. The trichomes that had previously been attached to the flowers now began collecting inside the filtration bags. Seeing those first collections appear is one of those moments that never gets old. The resin was carefully gathered and prepared for drying. Even at this early stage it was already obvious that the material held incredible potential. --- ## Drying & Preparing The Hash After collection, the resin was gently broken apart into smaller pieces to increase surface area and encourage proper drying. Drying remains one of the most important stages of the process. Rushing this step can compromise months of work. Patience here is rewarded later. While the first collections dried, additional washes continued, allowing the extraction process to move forward while the earlier material slowly prepared for its next stage. --- ## Temple Ball Experiments Once properly dried, part of the collected resin was worked into a traditional temple ball. This is one of the oldest and most beautiful forms of hash preservation. Heat. Pressure. Patience. And resin. Nothing more. The resulting temple ball displayed beautiful characteristics. Excellent texture. Wonderful aroma. A clean melt. Beautiful bubbling behavior. And the unmistakable appearance that makes handcrafted temple balls so special. Watching it transform from loose resin into a unified sphere felt almost like watching the extraction complete its final step. --- ## A Second Wash & A Different Approach The second material was processed using the same extraction methodology. Ice. Water. Agitation. Filtration. Collection. Drying. However, this time a different preservation method was chosen. Instead of forming a temple ball, the dried resin was left loose and placed inside a vacuum-sealed bag. All possible air was removed. The goal now is long-term observation. How does this material evolve? How does the aroma change? How does the texture develop? How does it compare to the temple ball? Those questions will be answered in future entries. --- ## This Is Only The Beginning Although this report marks the end of the first extraction session, it is far from the end of the story. The temple ball now begins its cure. The vacuum-sealed resin begins its cure. Additional fresh frozen material remains waiting. More washes are coming. More genetics are coming. More lessons are coming. And every step will become part of The Frozen Archive. For now, this first chapter closes with gratitude. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Bubbleator machine, the genetics, and the opportunity to explore this side of cultivation. Thank you to everyone following along and supporting these projects. And thank you to the plants themselves. Months ago they were seeds. Today they continue teaching us in entirely new forms. Grower's Love everyone. 🌱💚❄️ The Frozen Archive has officially beg P.S. A special thank you to Plagron for supporting this entire cultivation from start to finish. From the very first watering to the final harvest, drying, freezing, and extraction stages, every plant involved in this project was grown using the Plagron lineup, including Terra Grow, Terra Bloom, Pure Zym, CalMag Pro, Power Buds, Power Roots, and Green Sensation. As always, this is not about claiming that any product creates magic on its own. Healthy plants are the result of genetics, environment, nutrition, observation, patience, and consistency all working together. Still, after following these plants from seed to harvest and now into the extraction stage, I believe credit should be given where credit is due. These flowers, the fresh frozen material, and now the resin itself were all produced under the Plagron feeding program, and I am grateful for their support throughout the journey. Grower's Love. 🌱💚

Day 65 - Pics/Vids..... Everything looks good......stress bent them into position and defoliated ..... lots of flowering now..... ..... hadn't actually measured them for awhile, and updated the height, 44 cm .... tested out the lights higher, 40cm away, and seemed to slow down growth... so moved em back, 20-25cm... watering is the same, bottom saucer feeding, 850-1000 ppm dutch master one flower 5-8ml/lt.... actually using about 12-15ml / 1.8l....... Day 70 (10 wks) - Pulled em both out of tent, flushed em and trimmed em abit, took some pics/vids in the sunshine. ...... the soil started smelling bad, - stale, moldy, damp, soil smell..... so i did a full flush out on both.... noticed afew gnats, been afew since the start, but haven't really been many.... i'm going to try out a UV bulb, and also a usb uv led bug trap ..... just ordered them.... posted a pic of both... see if they are any good..... 😎

She is moving right along. She comes inside at night. She makes the entire garage stink and the hallway leading to it. She is a few days into the week. The weather has been cloudy from the hurricane. She is drinking a lot less, have not had to water her in a few days. Supposed to be cloudy for a few more days. She is close to being done, 1 or 2 weeks tops and she will be harvested. 10/2 Day 108. She is drinking very little, it has been very cloudy outside. Don't like her pot sitting around wet. Although at this point there is very little that could cause a serious problem She either comes in the garage or stays on the porch and maybe gets a fan blowing on her. Depending on the humidity. Last couple of days humidity has been in the 50s and windy. I am guessing 1 possibly 2 weeks and she will be harvest ready. First site of an amber tricomb and she is coming down. 9/4 Day 109. Cloudy out and her pot is still heavy. The last time I watered her could be considered a flush. She is on plain water until harvest. She smells so good, very hard to describe, a fruity diesel. 9/5 day 110 Another cloudy and rain day. Will harvest soon. Don't want anything going wrong, I am too close. 9/6 day 111 finally a sunny day after a week of rain or clouds. She is close to being done. The first amber tricomb I see and she is coming down.
