I’d like to say I’m impressed with the steady growth rate and the fast flowering offset with this violet face, bud sites swelling and throwing out thick healthy pistols, eager to have this cured 😃

Week 2 underway and she's developing accordingly. Everything is in the soil so we continue to just let her sip from the reservoir thru the wicks. I'm still misting the top of the soil to make sure she's getting enough to drink.

I wasn't paying attention to the plant and she got a little dried out. I noticed that the lower leaves were stating to curls and She was just looking very unhealthy. I flushed the pot and defoliated all the growth below the top two nodes on each branch. gave her a couple days to recover from the defoliation and then added a feeding of nutrient solution. She has recovered nicely. However, there are some leaves that are still showing signs of damage but also improvement. That is the reason that this week is lacking in photos. I had to play doctor to the plant.

Day 22–23 – Pre-flower kicking in 🌸 Day 22: Watered all plants with plain Lauretana water, no nutrients, alternating with last feed. They're drinking more now, a good sign the stretch is near. Royal Jack tops are showing pistils, and the Atlas girls have a few white hairs at the nodes too. The replacement is small but growing steadily. Day 23: Topped up the pots with some fresh soil. The two Atlas are bushy and flat thanks to LST, deep green, with pistils popping at the nodes and no tip burn or yellowing. Royal Jack stays compact but healthy. The replacement now has true leaves and a nice colour. Next step: a feed once the pots feel light again, starting the transition with a lower dose of Easy Grow and a half dose of Easy Bloom. The light goes up gradually we are now at 75%. LST wires stay, but no new bends from here on. Day 25: Pre-flower is fully underway. Both Atlas girls are covered in white pistils on every top, and the LST has kept the canopy flat and even, so the stretch should start any day now. Leaves are deep green with clean tips, a sign the last feed was plenty. The Royal Jack is opening up at the top and showing its first hairs. It stays compact, but it looks healthy. The replacement is pushing out new serrated leaves and growing steadily. No watering today, since the pots still had some weight after the plain-water round and the fresh topsoil. Next up is a transition feed set for tomorrow: low Easy Grow with a half dose of Easy Bloom. LST wires stay in place, with no more bending from here on. I crease the light to 80%. I did a light defoliation. I removed a few small, shaded leaves and some tiny inner shoots from the lower part, so more air moves through and the plants put their energy into the tops

Hey now, I hope everyone is having a great weekend, it was a good week for the ladies in the 5X5, they are all starting to stack flowers and really starting to distinguish their own smells. The Bubble Runtz has the most indica dominant looking colas and smells absolutely amazing. The Sundae Driver is looking like she is gonna have the fattest colas and be the biggest producer. I am really hoping I get the red phenotype of the Red Hot Cookies, and both the Green Crack and Durban Nights are showing the most Sativa characteristics and looking great. I now have the Medic Grow Light cranked up to 100% in F1 mode and am also using the UV/IR for 30 minutes per day prior to lights out. I am running a 12/12 cycle and feeding the same mix of GH nutrients which include Silica, CalMag, MaxiBloom, and Bloom Booster, with additional food grade Hydrogen Peroxide in the reservoir to keep algea growth to a minimum. I mix one 5 gallon bucket of nutes per day and clean my reservoir once per week. My pump is set to auto feed the plants every 5 hours after lights on, and I have a gravity self draining runoff setup I built. Not much to do from here on out, just keep the reservoir clean and full, a little defoliation, and 5 minutes per day to mix a bucket of nutes.I hope they get fat in the next few weeks and then I have about 7 people lined up to help me trim, I will throw everyone two zips for the help. hoping to do the wet trim in a day. I hope everyone has a great rest of your weekend, Thanks for stopping by, Stay Safe and Blaze On!!! 💪 Website: https://medicgrow.com/ https://growdiaries.com/grower/medicgrowled

LSD Zamnesia Tripping 🙂 | Fresh Frozen, Ice Water & Temple Balls — Week 16 From Seed First of all… Yes 😄 We are once again dividing the harvest reports into multiple chapters, and once again we apologize for that. But honestly, there was simply no way to fit: * harvest, * drying, * trimming, * curing, * smoke review, * macro photography, * fresh frozen work, * washing, * extraction, * and hash making… …into a single GrowDiaries update without rushing through important parts of the process. And this part? This part deserved its own spotlight completely. Because this week was not about flower anymore. This week was about resin. Living resin. Fresh frozen material. Ice water extraction. Patience. Cold temperatures. Sticky hands. And slowly transforming trichomes into beautiful hash. For everyone joining only now, quick recap: These LSD girls were grown under 12/12 from seed from the very beginning. Minimal training, mostly natural structure, gentle leaf manipulation, and environmental balance instead of aggressive intervention. Part of the harvest was dried traditionally and already covered in the previous report. But another part… …never got dried at all. Straight during harvest, selected flowers were removed fresh from the plants and immediately vacuum sealed before going directly into the freezer. No drying. No curing. No waiting. Fresh frozen. And that changes everything. The goal here is preservation. When flowers are frozen immediately after harvest, a large portion of the volatile compounds: * terpenes, * flavonoids, * aromatic compounds, * and delicate resin characteristics… …can remain much closer to their living state compared to traditionally dried material. This is why fresh frozen extraction became so respected in modern hash making. It captures a version of the plant that only exists for a very short moment in time. Alive. Wet. Fresh. Fully expressed. And honestly? Opening those frozen bags weeks later felt like reopening harvest day itself 😄 The flowers still looked incredibly resinous even after sitting frozen for weeks waiting for wash day. Now let’s talk process. For the wash itself, we used the Bubbleator machine courtesy of Zamnesia , and honestly huge thanks to them for providing it. They knew I wanted to start exploring ice water extraction properly, and they were kind enough to support the journey. The setup itself is actually beautifully simple. First: ice. Lots of ice 😄 The machine was filled partially with ice first before adding the fresh frozen material inside the working bag. The flowers themselves were placed inside a closed 220-micron washing bag. This is important because the bag keeps the plant material contained while still allowing the trichome heads to separate during agitation. After placing the material inside: * more ice on top, * cold water added, * everything submerged, * and then… …we waited. Around 30 minutes or so. And this step is actually extremely important. A lot of people think washing starts when the machine turns on. But honestly? The wash starts before that. This resting phase allows the frozen material to: * slowly rehydrate, * absorb water again, * become fully saturated, * and most importantly… * become extremely cold throughout the entire plant material. Why does this matter? Because trichomes become brittle at very cold temperatures. The colder everything gets: * the easier the resin heads separate, * the cleaner the release becomes, * and the less physical force is required. That is also why ice exists under and above the material: * lower temperatures evenly, * protect the resin, * and maintain the cold environment throughout the wash. Once the water temperature approached near freezing… …the machine came alive 😄 And honestly? Watching the water slowly transform during the wash is always magical. At first: just ice, water, and flowers. Then slowly: foam, cloudiness, resin separation, and finally that beautiful milky golden water hash makers love seeing appear. Meanwhile on the side, we prepared the filter bags. We did not use every single micron separation individually because honestly sometimes over-separating becomes unnecessary depending on goals and material quality. Instead, we focused on collecting the grades we actually wanted to work with and enjoy. And then came one of the most satisfying parts of the entire process: Collection 😄 Slowly lifting the bags. Watching the resin gather. Carefully scraping. Separating grades. Observing texture and color differences. Beautiful creamy resin everywhere. Some lighter. Some slightly darker. Some sandy. Some greasy. Every layer carrying slightly different characteristics. After collection, the resin was carefully freeze-dried. And this part also requires patience. First freeze drying. Then breaking it apart. Then more drying. Then more waiting 😄 Depending on environment and conditions, full drying can take several days because trapped moisture inside hash is dangerous long term. Rushing this step can ruin months of work later. In this case, the process stretched closer to about a week before everything felt properly stable and ready to work. And honestly… This is where the magic really started. Once dry enough, we allowed the hash to rest briefly before beginning the hand-working process. No extreme heat. No giant pressure. No fancy machinery. Just: room temperature, body warmth, gentle pressure, folding, rolling, stretching, and patience. The room itself stayed around 15°C, which turned out to be perfect for working the resin slowly without overheating it. And this step matters far more than many people realize. When hand-working hash properly: * oils redistribute, * compounds begin merging, * terpenes spread through the material, * oxidation starts slowly, * texture evolves, * and curing begins transforming the resin itself over time. You are not simply “rolling hash.” You are starting a living curing process. And slowly… The texture changed completely. From sandy loose resin… to creamy material… to sticky dough… to smooth beautiful temple balls. Honestly, seeing that transformation happen in your hands never gets old 😄 Final result? Three temple balls total: * two smaller ones from smaller micron collections, * and one large main temple ball that became the true star of the session. Final weight: 46.5 grams.( big one ) And honestly? I was extremely happy with that result. Especially considering the quality, texture, color, and how beautifully this LSD washed overall. Once formed, the temple balls were wrapped carefully in parchment paper before being vacuum sealed for long-term curing. And now? They rest. Months. Maybe longer. Waiting. Because the goal here is not “fresh hash.” The goal is evolution. Traditional temple ball style curing allows: * oils to redistribute, * compounds to merge, * texture to transform, * aroma to deepen, * and the entire resin profile to mature over time. Almost like aging wine. Or curing cheese. Or fermenting traditional products slowly and intentionally. This is medicine with patience built into the process. And honestly… That part alone deserves respect. We also included: * detailed process photos, * collection stages, * macro photography, * texture closeups, * curing progression, * and multiple stacked macro images showing the resin in insane detail. Some of these stacks reached: * 62 frames, * 87 frames, * 114 frames, * and even 152-frame focus stacks. Because honestly, hash under macro magnification becomes another universe completely. The textures stop looking real. Tiny resin mountains. Oil rivers. Micro-crystals. Glossy surfaces. Soft creamy structures. It almost starts looking geological instead of botanical 😄 Mr. Baggy of course supervised the entire operation like the professional resin inspector he clearly believes he is. And next week… The final chapter arrives. Smoke review. Curing review. Flower review. Hash review. Terpene evolution. Effects. Textures. Lessons learned. Mistakes made. And final thoughts after this entire LSD journey from seed to cured medicine. And finally… Thank you. To Zamnesia for the genetics and the Bubbleator. To Plagron. To F.O.G. To all the LEDs, gear, and equipment involved. To GrowDiaries. To the community. To the OG followers. To the new curious visitors. To the silent supporters. To the skeptics. To the lovers and even the haters 😄 To everyone spending time sharing this strange beautiful plant journey with us. Wishing everyone: cold water, sticky fingers, healthy plants, beautiful resin, and enough patience to let good hash become great hash 🌱

Good morning, time for the weekly update! Today is day 34 of flower and I’m starting to miss the training, topping, and busy days of veg growth! Just peek in on them once a day and water anymore, getting boring! Last week they got one watering with silica and one with fish shit, week 6 of flower is starting so after this week I’ll probably just be giving them plain ph water. I hope the flowers have stacked well and start to put on some weight now, maybe you guys can give me some feed back on how the buds are looking at this stage! Thanks for reading see ya next week :)

Rainbow melon what can I say? This plant is absolutely one of my favorite so far out of the fast buds genetics. I’ve grown a couple other genetics before and I have to say fast buds definitely checks all the boxes almost makes it too easy. The plant literally grows itself like it has a mind of its own handling low stress training absolutely amazing. Seems like it wants to have a perfect canopy. Very little TLC and the plant absolutely is thriving. 🌿🔥

2024-06-22 Yesterday i had to Harvest them, weather was very bad . The are having tropical Climate in the raintime, very Humid and rainy, sometimes changes to cold and windy so very bad Season until now. They would have needed 7 days more to ripe perfect. But they started to mold. so i harvested them quickly, and sorted out all moldy stuff this is very sad. Buds are more open and supersticky. you can see with eyesight the loooong and dense Trichomes, iam going to add more Pics if they are cured and i add some Pics from the microscope. i give this Strain 8 from 10 Points for Outdoor Growing, because of their tendency to catch mold , despite the fct they were under a Roof, But yeah we had avery cold, rainy and humid Season i really like to grow them again, but indoors!!! because of their Juicyness

Another good week here in the tent. Getting water daily. Defoliated as needed every other day. The girls are looking great and smelling great. Lots of frost coming off these girls. Started the UVB at 30 minutes and have moved up to an hour. The tests went right to two hours but I wanted to ramp it up. Will go up thirty minutes tomorrow and continue that every few days to ramp up usage. The trichomes are coming along but not milky

Hi everyone I chop her down day 86 and let her dry in 19° temp and RH 65 % I'm going to slow drying for best results 7 to 8 days She is very dense and sticky bud and so heavy too I think she yield over 150g plus but the bud are not 100% purple its mix with light purple and green ass you can see in pic or video but still I'm very very happy and already germinate another purple lemonade 💜 next week I will update smoke reviews and final dry weight 😀

Sie wachsen täglich mehrere centimeter und das ist wirklich schön zu sehen, ich habe bis jetzt noch nie so schöne gesunde starke Pflanzen gesehen 😍 Ende Woche 3 habe ich entlaubt und lollipopped und sie haben nicht mal ein bisschen was an Stress empfunden, Ja ich behandle sie 2 mal am Tag Momentan und versuche ihnen alles zu geben was sie brauchen. Das Ergebnis sieht man 😎👌👍🍀 Ich habe 2 verschiedene Phenotypen aber sie scheinen alle mit der gleiche Behandlung zufrieden zu sein. Ab Woche 5 erhöhe ich den EC auf 1.8 Und so bleibt es bis Woche 7. Run off liegt bei 20 %, temp auf 28-29, täglich Gießen 1-2 mal Raucht einen guten bis zu nächste Woche Gute Menschen👌👍

Our number #Lavender had a rough start and a happy ending. At one point she fired a fantastic main cola into the sky and now we are almost ready for the cut. https://seedsmafia.com/en/ https://www.mars-hydro.com/
