didn't know what to expect since its my first grow but I ended up doin a 5 day flush with 5 days of 24 hour light. Dr Bruce Bugbee was discussing whether 48hr of darkness helped, and made the case that having the light would more beneficial for terpene production. Dry time was 21 days with the humidity at 60

Note : Jegliches Equipment aufgelistet welches ich nutze findet Ihr in der Germinations Woche !!! Day 15 : ich weiss noch nicht ob der mineralische dünger wirklich sofort etwas gebracht hat . schauen wir was die zeitraffer so vermitteln. ist es seit gestern schneller am wachsen ? Day 16 : PPFD 275 * 20h = DLI 19.8 Day 17: + 0.5L Flaschenwasser (EC 0.26) + + Canna Rizothonic + + Canna Terrar Vega + = Total EC 0.68 (PH 7.2) + Final PH 6.15 Day 18: es wächst Day 19: es wächst immer noch ventilation übern blätterdach angemacht. ich glaub daher kommt das ruckeln im video Day 20: + 0.5L Flaschenwasser (EC 0.26) + + Canna Rizothonic + + Canna Terrar Vega + = Total EC 0.68 (PH 7.2) + Final PH 6.15 + 0.5L Leitungswasser (PH 8.0) Der Stamm hat sich in den letzten 3 Tagen verdreifacht vom Volumen. Jetzt hat er so Bleistift dicke erreicht. Day 21: die temps und relative luftfeuchte sind hier zwischen 58%-68% und 23.5°-25.5°C . reguliert sich aber immer zu den höheren werten . ist hier halt so :))

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 🌱

WDrying waiting weight it . This was a good grow to get back into a rhythm overall great I will like to rerun using different soil and nutrients as well as switch up my training as well . I will update my journal once it’s completely dry trim and everything like that with better numbers and better information. The genetics were pretty good and solid overall I’m happy with my girl.

Week 9 looking healthy. Another light defoliation, get better light to the nuglets. The plants seem to be responded really well to the additional room in the tent. Their buds are filling out more which is nice. Update: Noticed some light spotting on the youngest plant. Plant leaves measured around 80ish, so I put my light up an inch or so and turned my fan up. Youngest plant is looking the best with great buds. I just realized I have no idea how to tell if a plant is ready to be harvested Bud is thickening up still with some really great trichome production. Lol someone send me a better camera so I can take frosty pics.

SPONSORED DIARY===SPONSORED DIARY===SPONSORED DIARY Plants are doing well this week. Have some continued signs of thrips damaging some of the leaves. Will need to teat them and kill em all off if possible. The thrips are also outdoors on some of my plants, I feel they came from the bagged promix I got or they overwintered and travelled indoors. Light was a bit to strong at 100% when i grew taller, turned it down to 80%ish now till it starts to blooms. currently at 45cm hang height, Tent is having some issues with cooling down, even running the extractor is not doing much, so I prop the door open at the top and it helps vent it out. Maybe because of the vents the air is not circulating though and just travelling up one side of the tent, IDK. its a waste to run it past setting 5 on a 2x2 so the door will stay propped indefinitely. Still no smells unless I'm rubbing them, no signs of flower just yet, temped to top or LST but I think I'm going to let them go as is and get a good gauge on how they grow and yield. SPONSORED DIARY===SPONSORED DIARY===SPONSORED DIARY Big shout out to @SpiderFarmer for supplying the 2x2x5 Grow tent and The SF1000 100w LED light. I will be uploading all relevant photos of the products in the next week when they arrive, maybe do a little unboxing video. Who knows. A 2nd big shout out to Dr.Seeds for supplying the 3x5pac of seeds I will only be featuring two of the three strains in two separate diaries. You the users will get to decide what ones I grow. I have setup a Grow Question on each diary to vote for your strain of choice for that diary. https://growdiaries.com/grow-questions/47600-drseeds-1-vote-what-i-grow "Diary #1" https://growdiaries.com/grow-questions/47600-drseeds-1-vote-what-i-grow "Diary #2" Cast your vote for each diary. Thought I would add in the relevant links if you wanted to read up on any of the products that will be officially featured in this grow. https://www.spider-farmer.com/ https://growdiaries.com/grow-lights/spider-farmer (+) https://www.spider-farmer.com/products/sf-1000-led-grow-light/ https://growdiaries.com/grow-tents/spider-farmer (+) https://www.spider-farmer.com/products/sf-2-x2-indoor-grow-tent-hydroponic-home-plant-reflective-aluminum-oxford-cloth/ https://drseeds.net/ https://growdiaries.com/seedbank/dr-seeds (+) https://drseeds.net/product/granddaddy-purple-autoflowering-cannabis-seeds/ (+) https://growdiaries.com/seedbank/dr-seeds/granddaddy-purple [Photoperiod not Autoflowering] https://drseeds.net/product/60-day-wonder-autoflowering-cannabis-seeds/ (+) https://growdiaries.com/seedbank/dr-seeds/60-day-wonder-autoflowering

I started the flush on Tuesday 4/19. I chopped both plants on Saturday 4/23. The Trichomes are just about perfect in my estimation: > 5% clear, 10% amber, 75% cloudy. This is my first time drying the whole plant (I have always wet trimmed in the past). I read a bunch of good stuff about how hanging the whole plant and dry trimming makes better bud, so I'm giving it a shot. My main concern is possible mold with how tightly compact these plants are. I am keeping the humidity between 50% - 55% right now. I am hoping these plants will be dry enough by next weekend to start trimming and jar curing.

Aug 3: still going strong starting the third week of flowering. I’m putting her in the garage at 9 pm, doing the 730 nm far red light to put plant into dark mode 2 h faster, and then out of garage at 7 am. So 10+ 2 h is 12 h dark and 14 h daylight or a 26 h day. The far red light definitely works as a bloom booster and helps the plants finish faster when the sun is stronger. Did morning foliar spray of Extreme Blend and potassium silicate. Aug 4: always some defoliation to be done and I took out all the small stuff that was growing into the centre. If I had a longer season I could have left some of these small branches but I want the energy directed toward the prime bud sites. Also removing leaves makes it more stable in the wind. Yet another growing trade-off. Aug 5: she looks great coming out of the dark garage this morning. Lots of colas with lots of buds 👍👍 Aug 6: added UV lights from AC Infinity. This far north we run out of strong sunlight before it gets too cold in the fall. By adding UV lights, this will make Edmonton in September seem like California in July. Along with genetics, UV light is the main factor controlling trichome and THC production. Adding UV light for a couple of hours per day centred at peak sun (currently 1:39 pm) should help a lot this far north. At the other end of the light spectrum, I use Forever Green Indoor (FGI) 730 nm far red light. This is the third season using the far red light as a bloom booster and it definitely works. A few seconds at dusk is all it takes to put the plant into dark mode two hours faster, and is like getting a 26 h day. Bud ripen earlier and therefore under stronger sun. Both of these lights are low power LED used for a few hours (UV) or just a few seconds (far red). Gotta love science and technology when it allows us to figure this kind of out.

hello everyone, farm brothers! I've been wanting to make a diary dedicated to my friends at seedstokers for a long time, since I've received extreme hospitality from them in their home, but I wanted it to be in grand style...just the way I like it! and here we are!
