Day 54 of week 8 flowering This week I have continued to flush and I am a bit surprised that the plants are still not showing their amber warning light! This means I started to flush to early as I was expecting the clones to be harvested around now, This info will really help me planning the next crop of clones. I also defoliated the canopy to allow for the smaller buds to ripen. Happy growing, Skully.

Fast Buds Wedding Glue Auto Day 25 from sprout Light: ViparSpectra XS2000 dialed in at 75% Watering top and bottom every other day to every 2 days Growing in Natures Living Soil Autoflower mix with happy frog. I will honestly say I am very pleased that this wedding glue is starting to take off! It did take it this long to build its root system but I am happy. I think it may take this girl another week to 2 weeks to enter pre flower. Because she is the "runt" of the 4 plants in my 4x4 I will probably give minimal training for this run. See you all next week! Happy Growing!

Well, the room is looking huge. If I didnt defoliate, I feel like the harder to reach areas would be difficult to maintain and that the transpiration would be too much to control. I like what I have going on so far. The defoliated plant has stretched higher than the defoliated one. Underneath they look similar, and it will be very interesting to see the end results for myself. SBG a CHAMP!! Second round of defoliation scheduled for 3 days from now. Thanks for looking

❄️ The Frozen Archive #2 | LSD From Fresh Frozen to Temple Ball Hello GrowDiaries family! 👋❄️🌱 Welcome back to The Frozen Archive. For those joining the journey for the first time, this series follows our exploration of fresh frozen material, ice & water extraction, solventless concentrates, curing techniques, and everything that happens after harvest. If you would like a complete introduction to the Bubbleator machine, fresh frozen material, and the fundamentals of ice & water extraction, I highly recommend checking out The Frozen Archive #1, where the entire process is explained in detail. This entry focuses on a specific genetic: LSD by Zamnesia. And what a beautiful plant she was. For anyone curious about her journey from seed to harvest, the complete cultivation diary is available on my profile. This report picks up where that story ended. The flowers were harvested. The material was preserved as fresh frozen. And now it was finally time to see what LSD had to offer through ice & water extraction. ⸻ A New Wash, A New Lesson Although this is only the second entry in The Frozen Archive, this extraction actually represents my third wash using the Bubbleator machine. The first archive introduced the machine and documented my first experiences. This time I approached the process with a little more confidence, a little more understanding, and a lot of curiosity about how LSD would perform. One of the goals of this series is not simply to show the results. It is to document the learning process itself. The successes. The mistakes. The observations. The improvements. And hopefully create a useful archive for both the community and my future self. ⸻ The Material Unlike trim runs, this extraction was performed using fresh frozen flowers. Entire buds were harvested, frozen immediately, vacuum sealed, and preserved until extraction day. By freezing the material directly after harvest we aim to preserve as much of the plant’s original profile as possible before beginning the washing process. Months of cultivation eventually lead to this moment. The plant changes form. But the journey continues. ⸻ The Wash The process itself follows the same methodology introduced in Archive #1. The Bubbleator was loaded with: ? Ice 🌿 Fresh frozen LSD flowers 💧 Cold water The flowers were placed inside a properly secured 220-micron wash bag, positioned inside the machine, covered with additional ice, and submerged in water. From there the machine could begin its work. One thing that quickly becomes obvious is how important temperature control is. Throughout the wash I monitored the water carefully and aimed to keep conditions as close to 0°C / 32°F as possible. Cold temperatures help maintain trichome integrity and improve separation during agitation. Patience becomes one of the most important tools in the room. ⸻ Watching The Transformation One of my favorite moments remains watching the water change. At first everything appears clean and transparent. Then gradually the water begins taking on a different appearance as trichomes and plant material enter suspension. The Bubbleator quietly continues its work while the ice maintains the environment. And while the machine washes… Well… The grower medicates. 😄🌱 Some traditions are important. ⸻ Collection & Multiple Washes Once the cycle was complete, the water was drained through the filtration bags. This is where the magic becomes visible. The resin that was previously attached to the flowers begins collecting inside the bags. The first collections looked extremely promising. As always, multiple washes were performed. Each wash tells a slightly different story. Eventually there comes a point where the material being collected becomes noticeably greener and contains more contamination than desired. That is usually the signal that the best material has already been recovered. At that point it is time to stop chasing quantity and preserve quality. ⸻ Freeze Drying… Dog Doctor Style After collection, the resin was transferred for drying. This particular batch spent approximately five days drying in the freezer before reaching the condition I was looking for. Once sufficiently dry, the material was broken apart and worked into smaller pieces to increase surface area. It then spent additional time drying before the next stage could begin. The goal is always the same: Remove moisture. Preserve quality. Remain patient. ⸻ Working The Resin This is where things become truly enjoyable. Once dry, the resin was carefully worked and mixed together. The purpose is not simply aesthetics. The goal is to create a more homogeneous material where everything is evenly distributed. The process requires patience. Heat from the hands. Gentle pressure. Time. Slowly the texture begins changing. The colors become more uniform. The material becomes increasingly workable. And eventually… The temple ball begins to emerge. ⸻ Temple Ball Formation Watching loose resin transform into a temple ball never gets old. What begins as dry collected material slowly becomes something completely different. A smooth surface develops. The texture evolves. The appearance changes dramatically. And suddenly the extraction takes on a form that has been used for generations. This batch produced a beautiful temple ball with excellent visual appeal and impressive characteristics. ⸻ The No-Oxygen Cure Experiment This entry also begins a long-term experiment. Part of the material was placed inside parchment paper, sealed inside a vacuum bag, and stored without oxygen. The objective is simple: Observe. Learn. Compare. How will the resin evolve? How will the aroma develop? How will the texture change? Will it butter? Will it remain stable? Will the temple ball age differently? Only time will answer those questions. For now the material continues resting. And we will return in a future entry to see where that journey leads. ⸻ Early Impressions Although the cure is far from complete, early signs are extremely encouraging. The material melts beautifully. The bubbling behavior is exactly what I hoped to see. The aroma remains rich and complex. And after a quick three-week check on the vacuum-cured material, everything appears to be moving in the right direction. Now comes the hardest part. Waiting. ⸻ Looking Ahead This is not the end of the LSD story. This is simply the beginning of its next chapter. The temple ball continues curing. The vacuum-sealed resin continues curing. And in a few months we will return to compare the results and see how time has transformed the material. For now, I am extremely happy with the outcome and excited to continue learning. That is ultimately what The Frozen Archive is all about. Learning. Documenting. Improving. And sharing the journey. ⸻ P.S. A huge thank you to Zamnesia for the LSD genetics and for the Bubbleator machine that made this exploration possible. And a special thank you to Plagron for supporting the cultivation side of this project. The LSD plant documented here was grown from seed to harvest using the Plagron lineup, including Terra Grow, Terra Bloom, Pure Zym, CalMag Pro, Green Sensation, Power Buds, Power Roots, and Sugar Royal. The flowers became fresh frozen. The fresh frozen became resin. And now the resin begins its cure. Everything is connected. Grower’s Love everyone. 🌱💚❄️📚

This past week has been a blast! After getting these ladies nutrition straightened out, they are thriving!💚🌱💚 I gave defoliated wayyy more than what I see other growers traditionally doing. After the "3rd and final haircut" I defoliated two more times 😅 Thank you the GD community for the support and resources along the way 🙏 My only concern now is the tent actually becoming too crowded.😆. Other then that I am thinking it should be smooth sailing these next 6 weeks or so. 🏴‍☠️😎🏴‍☠️ Happy Growing! 💚💪🌱😎🌱💪💚

Hi Guys, Grow Diaries for whatever reason won't allow me to upload my complete harvest video which is a real bummer because I mainly do the videos for my YouTube channel but decided to also include them on grow diaries to give other growers who might be considering growing the same strain in the future. Helps give people an idea of what to expect when they grow it. But honestly I can't be bothered to re-edit it to fit to Grow Diaries setting which I don't even know what they are.... Didn't think they had any! Maybe it's the length of my video..... 🤔! I don't know, but I like to give growers a good description of the strain and smoke review. I hate it when I go to others peoples pages to have a look at a strain I'm thinking of growing and them not having hardly any pictures that properly show you the growth stages of the plants.... Really annoying. Which is why I chose to properly document mine to give you guys or try to give you guys the best view of my grows..... If that makes any sense 😅 https://youtu.be/iYNiI75Vvkg That's the link for my channel guys, the complete King's Juice harvest review is there. Really sorry I couldn't provide a better aspect to the Harvest guys, but at least I know for next time and I will be prepared. 👍🏾

The last days went unspectacular. All plants do well. Some show some yellow tips. The purple tips are gone after I flushed with ph optimized water and CalMag solution. Somehow quite a population of fungus gnats made themselves comfortable. That is the reason for the many yellow stickers + I watered with Nematodes. Had to clean the Blumat system as some ends were clogged. I increased the amount of light slightly and the maxed the time of the UV bars to 10 minutes per daylight hour. Now to the most interesting news. The buds develop nicely. Slush Mint Cake smells like red bull energy drink. Love that. Hyper Vyper and Skywalker both have their destinctive smell as well. According to the breeder only 4 weeks to go :)

This strain by crop king seeds has impressed me with its toughness. Being my first grow ever I made some mistakes along the way but the girls seemed to get through it all and grow well. In the end I am fortunate for them to provide me with more than enough bud to get me through the year if it all dries and cures properly. The past week after harvest has been cold and humid. I tried everything I could given my resources to dry it in my shed but weather of 1-10 Celsius. Rain high humidity and even hail storm one night has been hard on the drying process. Now jarred a little early to try to help with continuous burping of lids. I will submit a better review of how they turned out once dried and cured. Also will submit a dried weight I had an ounce of this exact strain given to me this past year for health reasons and that is what inspired me to track down these seeds and grow my own because I enjoyed it so much. Anyways hope for me it all turns out well

Overall i'm really happy with this strain. First i thought i wouldn't get a high yield but i'm pretty happy with it i got 250grams of top trimmed buds 2g of hashoil 2g of bubblehash and another 80grams of dry plant material for making bubblehash. Super potent strain with an amazing flavour, definitely nit the last time growing this strain.

Die Nachzüglerinnen kommen super in die blüte, trotz 16h Helligkeit ! Beide Sorten eigenen sich super für große und sehr große Gefäße! Wuchsverhalten und Struktur gefallen mir extrem gut. Widerstandsfähig gegenüber Schnecken und Thripse! Hatten bis jetzt überhaupt keine Mängel, bin geflasht vom Dünger und selbst angemixter erde. 🍀🐝
