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 🌱

Beide Pflanzen zeigen bereits die ersten weißen Härchen.Hoffentlich wachsen sie aber erst noch etwas,bevor die Blüte richtig los geht.
Ich hatte bereits mit Blattläusen zu kämpfen,jedoch waren es nur ein paar.Ich habe sie mit der Hand zerquetscht,wären dort nicht so viele Ameisen gewesen hätte ich es wahrscheinlich nicht bemerkt.

So now we’re in the first week of flowering, and I’m really happy with how things are going. The plants are constantly putting on more leaf mass, so I have to prune them every few days to remove the light-stealers and the small shoots that keep popping up. They take it all in stride and reward me by stretching nicely. 😄
The lights are now running at 60% power. My goal is to reach 80–90% during flowering weeks 5–6, and then gradually dial them back again for a nice fade.
A very kind person sent me a few very special treats, so I already have some of the ingredients for the next run ready to go. But more on that once this one starts winding down. 😉

We lost the sick on this week, knew it was coming. Also the RH was staying around 65 to 68 so I pruned a bit on the taller plants which brought it right back down to a happy zone. Also all 5 plants are growing great but my tent is too small so I took the runt out and she is living with my plants in my plant room. We are getting about 12 hours of light a day now and it is good temp and RH in that room. So I hope she will still grow like a weed. This is actually week 3 of flower I misclassified week 6.

Week four was definitely the week when the plants started to really grow bigger, I started some LST at my way cause even if I check thousands of videos I end it up doing what I thought was better for my plants, I perhaps was a bit late so it wasn’t stretching as I thought it would have, maybe I shouldn’t have wait this long, but again first time learning a lots.. I let the plant grow with LST only in week 4 in week 5 I introduced a scrog I made myself cause I thought that I couldn’t keep doing lst because I started too late

July 20th. 36 days post flip
Clones:
These things will not stop growing. I should have known with them being landraces but I am super cropping multiple tops every single day to keep the buds off the lights.
Interestingly the plants no longer seem to be burning even when they are directly touching these lights. I’ve never grown a plant this resilient in my entire life but shows what nature is capable of.
Some clones have a more modern bud structure but one of them has this crazy almost spear like structure going on. Super excited to see how they smoke in a few months.
No longer seeing any deficiency’s on any new leaves due to the nutrients last week. Will likely avoid adding anything else except some build a flower here in a week or so.
Smell is finally starting to take off. So far very peppery but also a slight off smell as well. Can’t quite put my nose on it but hopefully in a week or so will start to get even more smell.
Parents:
Parents got topped aggressively a week ago on July 12th in order to keep them small. All 4 are already showing new nodes and recovery. So far they have been in these small fabric pots for 20 weeks with no signs of deficiency.
I think the secret to that success has been low power lights limiting growth, no night cycle so the plants cannot develop the roots needed, and the fabric pots air pruning the roots so they don’t ball up.
At this point simply going to continue topping every month or so and once they start showing deficiency will move them into slightly larger pots
God bless!

Day 21: The three girls have grown really big now, I'm so proud. They were measuring around 12-15 cm before I added dirt and now they are receiving 3-4 hours of direct sunlight/5-6 of non direct sunlight (total) since the UV index here has gone mad high.

9/17 Didn't know this was a new week or I would've taken more pictures. I'm glad I took those two plants. As it dries and I start to trim I could see where it could've turned to rot real easy. It rained enough last night to soak all the girls. The two bottoms I harvest look like the have pm on them. If so I'll wash it or through it in the concentrate bag. Found a few colas a dropped which will go in the concentrate bag. Scoping the toasted toffy and the event horizon and the both look AMAZING! I've scoped the others and I'm extremely impressed. They may be difficult to grow strains but they have high cannabinoid content. The sherb cream pie has really come to life and turned totally purple with beautiful flowers. The girl in the 50 has several soda can sized buds. I hope this weather holds up. I don't like flowers this size getting wet. The sativa leaning hydrid us the only one I may have trouble with. It's only in a 10 gal but it's enormous! If needed I coyld bring it inside at night. The buds look like cat tails. I'm used to growing indica dominant strains. Plant us super healthy though. I'll be intrigued jail for a while and I've gotta make contact with whoever is going to do my extracts. I'll keep this updated. It's a lot of work bur it's worth it.
9/18 WATERED EVERYTHING I GALLON BUT THE BOTTOMS OF THE 2ND EV AND THE TT WHICH EACH GOT A HALF. Since harvest I've noticed some pm spring up on the toasted toffy. Looking at the other event horizon through a scope the trichs are all milky with some amber. I'm just waiting for A LITTLE more amber. And for me to have time and or room. I decided to harvest the tops and majority of one of my event horizon and toasted toffy. Today during an inspection I found a couple grey mold branches and some botrytis on my big GMO on the back. This plant is done. It's by far the furyhest ahead. Septoria effected the yield a little but pistols were retracted and amber was at like 10%. I thought about it and I watched the plant next to it with the pm have a branch I supported just "slough off". Right in my face. I figured if there was a sign tjis was it. I cut that rot off and put the buds from the branch in a bag and froze them then I went around and harvested the limbs on the other plant that were furyhest along. I took about half of it. I could've taken more and maybe I should've but I'm tired. I also noticed a couple spots of grey mold on the plant in the 50. All the leaves were falling off. I finally scoped it and it was right whetr I wanted it to be. Looking at the colors I'm glad I spent so much time the past few days. That one I hung whole. The sherb cream pie has something eating the fresy shoots (probably ear wigs. But the buds are fattening and the trichs aren't quite there. I'm going to let the rest of this stuff go ad long as possible. With the exception of the other event horizon. I finally tried it. It's fucking killer. I could take that plant now. The only reason I'm not is because I have to much work on my husband's as is. I'll do some videos amd pictures but I'm tired as fuck. Got to try event horizon. Very fucking impressed!
9/19 The past 3 days I've been working 5 a.m. to dark. I went back and harvested the bottoms of the toasted toffy and event horizon 1. After injury from harvest they contracted wpm. I used this as a learning experience and put some away in the freezer for concentrates and used a peroxide and water bucket. That's what kills the p.m. anyway. I hung them and they spun in the wind. I blew them lightly with a leaf blower before putting them ok strings I had previously setup with a fan in front of it. I kicked ass today. Toasted toffy got sampled and did NOT disappoint. I had it in a jar though and it was green so I'm not counting this. I do have some dry. I have indoor left too. Like in the video that one GMO looks like it's fucking dying or something. I'd rather cut it and use it for concentrates if it effects my healthy plants. I just checked on that plant in the 50 I hung. It looks amazing under the scope and smells better. Decisions, decisions. I do have a few calls I should make sooner rather than later. We are supposed to be getting rain.
9/20 The past 3 days have been hard. The wife's medical stuff is acting up and I had to tend to harvesting a few. My whole body hurts. I even did my first bud wash yesterday! The ev and tt I took and left some buds on ended up covered in pm. So I decided fuck it and tried bud washing. I also froze some for extracts. Speaking of which I need to male contact with whoever I'm going with this year because I think I've reached the point of diminishing returns on that dieing GMO. When it comes to grey mold and botrytis I don't fuck around. Winds are really high today. Putting the scope to the sherb pie is making me second guess myself too. Oh well. It's not going to rain today. And if needed I can move them in the barn. If I get ahold of Mt processor I'll chop that GMO and bring it right there. The other thing is that I've got tons of weed and a lot of its hanging so I've gotta find someone that will do a batch of live rosin then like a elbow of dry. This is the best part of the year. We'll It's supposed to be. Cutting down good plants us bittersweet. I don't mind chopping that one gmo a little early though because it's close to hitting the point of no return. That little sativa dominant hybrid in the ten is HUGE! The buds are swelling like crazy too. It's got a COUPLE septoria spots but this thing is resilient and easy to move around. This will finish perfectly. So far I'm happy with what I have. I'm GRATEFUL. The two September plants I tried were GREAT. A 90/10 and an 80/20 and they both suprised me and got me exactly whete I wanted to be. I'll keep things updated. I did a video I'll upload.
9/21 Weather is still great and the buds don't even seem wet in the morning. The thing is is that something (rot or ear wigs probably both) have stripped lower interior branches. In some cases stripping them ENTIRELY or chewing the stem right off. It wasnt happening to my favorite GMO or the one in the 30 and the like on in the ten. The Sherb pie I noticed grey mold on 3 different branches. Last time I checked trichs it wasn't ready but I've got to get a handle on this mold/pests or it's going to he taken a little early. We have incliment weather coming Wednesday I think. I'll bring the 10 inside and if I have to I'll bring that perfect GMO in as well. I'm going to scope everything again today. I called a bunch of extractors for prices. I was going to do fresh rosin and just yank and drive but that is looking to be harder. I can get badder made CHEAP from a reputable lab. I think I'll do that. They prefer dry and that way I could through what's left from last year in there. I have this other one GMO that I've had the same issues with. I'm sick of removing bud rot or having to cut interior branches off due to pm. Tried toasted toffy and it was fucking amazing. I'm planning on trimmingvthe ev and if I finish I can bring the other one in. It's done. It's not getting any bigger. Trichs aren't changing. That GMO I am going to scope when I get home and it will be coming down in the next couple days. Otherwise I'll end up with half of what's there. The GMO I took the tops from is finishing up too. If I scope that and it looks decent and I have the time I'll take the remainder. I'm leaning towards doing at least a lb dry for extracts. I've got some frozen. I've got some hanging and most is still in the ground. I sleep on all major decisions. However, I know getting my nice buds soaked when I'm already losing shit to budrot and grey mold isn't the smartest thing. I'll probably take what I can and bring the others inside to keep them safe. I didn't think I'd have this much quantity. I knew quality would be good but this isn't a bad year quantity wise either. I'll keep this updated.
9/22 Busy as hell! Rain coming Tuesday. After a final check of the scope and the flowers and I took the GMO that all the leaves had fallen off of. That plant is going straight to extracts with the one in the thirty. I also "finished" harvesting that GMO that was furthest along. Trichs were getting amber. Been in trim jail. Was going to take the Sherb Pie but I'm not seeing amber yet. I did have to cut off some branches that had rotted. I'll keep an eye on it. It will come down when it's ready. It just sucks losing little bits of it. My favorite GMO is sooooo close to perfect. I should just take it but I'll wait. If we get rain I'll bring that and the sativa looking one in the ten is the barn. Back to work now. Before I forget what strain is what lol.
9/23 Still busy as fuck. I chopped the other event horizon amd hung it whole. It's DONE and it doesn't need to go through the rain storm. I also took the majority of the GMO early pheno. What's left will get plucked off and used for extracts. The big one in the 50 is getting dry. I have finished the event horizon and I'm not "finished" with the toasted toffy but I have it in 5 gal buckets with a food grade lid so u can at least cure correctly. The gmo is still hanging. I'm wondering whether I should wait it out or chop. I'm gonna take care of what I have inside first and hope that shit doesn't eat my plants or that it doesn't rot off. That perfect GMO has one branch with some grey mold. I might cut it off. I'll keep this

It seems that everything is going well, I fertilized only once, a week ago, with 1ml of adv but they seem to have no deficiencies and I can't explain why.

Plants are looking great.
Wedding cake smells like heaven and is frosty and sticky.
It is not ready for harvest though. Trichomes are milky but found no amber coloured trichomes. I'll give her another week.
Did some defoliation on all three plants and Another topping for SL.
Wedding cake has a few big buds on the lower parts of the plant that are really close to each other. I had to bend them away from each other to avoid bud rot and help with ventilation.
Additionally I had to pick out small black flies (Gewittertierchen) out of the Buds.
I cut out the small popcorn buds of Hype1 with no chance for sunlight and healthy growth. Hopefully she will focus on the main buds on the top.
Don't worry keep growing;)

All four tomato plants are finally thriving and growing beautifully. The fertilizer made a huge difference, and the plants are now healthy, vigorous, and loaded with flowers and ripening fruit.
I’m harvesting a few tomatoes here and there, although the harvest is still fairly small at this stage. Both varieties are incredibly tasty—sweet, aromatic, and full of flavor. My favorite way to enjoy them is in the evening as a fresh snack… especially after a vape session. 😂🍅

1/21/24 - Day 76 - Everything is looking good still. Today is water change day! This time i was out at the box during the change. Everything went well. I did install a new temperature sensor to replace the old one. Also I installed a new C, and PH- bottle.
1/23/24 - Day 78 - I noticed the buds are starting to fatten up. They kind of grow in little nodules sticking out from the main bud site. Its really cool to see. I added some pictures up top! Ill update on some more pictures in the next couple of days.
1/25/24 - Day 80 - The buds are getting fatter and the smell is getting super pungent. Everything is going as planned. I need to start scoping it to check for color. We are still a long ways from starting the flush but it time to start looking!
