WEEK #20 – WE'RE GETTING JUICY Final Stretch (or so). -2/-1 weeks for SMC and -1/0 weeks for Skywalker *Haze* according to Dutch Passion standard. So we're a bit overdue. But with the size of the plants, who cares? Still very little healthy plants, no signs for "end of life". Checked trichomes on top buds regularly: Milky way is here, but still not much amber. In fact not noticeably more than last week. Skywalker (to be expected) still a bit behind. But i can see additional calyxes forming (green/fresh pistills), so totally worth the wait. 😍 This time i cropped the detail shots to avoid the mediocre resizing of growdiaries. It's fun to just look at the plants, i hope you can imagine as well now. Regarding smell, it hit me today 😰. SMC smells like fruit loops - not kidding. Well, a bit of fuel/diesel smell in the air, but full sweet fruitiness. 1-2 more weeks, fingers crossed. 😺

WEEK 8 (Day50-56) Week No. 8 went quite smoothly. One of the plants still has a slight deficiency due to the intense light, while the other has stretched way too aggressively. At one point, it was almost 15 cm taller than its neighbor, which I didn’t like at all. So, I took a rather bold approach. Using supercropping, I brought the plant back to approximately the same height as the others. I bent the shoots and stabilized them in the new position using plastic training clips and some tape. This was done just before the photos were taken, so they don’t look their best at the moment. However, I’m confident it will work out well. Other than that, I haven’t changed much. The lighting remains at 24 hours, and I slightly increased the amount of fertilizer again.

Seofuku und Cookies and Cream wurden getoppt. Sie sind beide etwas größer als die Chemo Cake und so geben wir dieser etwas Zeit zum aufholen. Das starke Licht scheint etwas zu viel für sie zu sein. Für alle drei gab es die zweite Dosis Pflanzengeflüster. 1,5 g in 100 ml auf drei Pflanzen verteilt.

LSD — Week 12 12/12 from seed. Late flower. Full expression. Quiet hands, heavy flowers. This is the stage where the grow starts asking less from us — and more from our patience. By now, most of the work is already done. Structure is built. Feeding has done its job. Environment has stayed stable. Roots have carried the weight. And now the plant is doing what it was always meant to do: Finish. This is not the week for chasing numbers. Not the week for aggressive changes. Not the week for “fixing” what clearly isn’t broken. This is the week for restraint. For observation. For letting the plant complete the final chapter on its own terms. And LSD is doing exactly that. ⸻ Quick recap — how we got here This run was never about force. It was about rhythm. From the start, LSD showed what stable genetics + stable conditions can do when they’re allowed to work without interruption. No dramatic swings. No constant corrections. No overhandling. No chasing deficiencies that weren’t there. No feeding for ego. Just consistent inputs, controlled environment, steady root-zone conditions, and enough discipline to leave healthy plants alone. That’s what built this finish. Now, in week 12, we’re seeing the result of every quiet decision made weeks ago: * strong vertical structure * dense flower stacking * steady resin production * proper late-flower fade * increasing floral mass * and a plant that is still focused on ripening, not surviving That matters. Because this stage is no longer about growth. It is about conversion. The plant is no longer trying to become bigger. It is trying to become heavier, louder, stickier, and more chemically complete. And it shows. ⸻ Late flower, properly explained This is one of the most misunderstood stages in the cycle. To newer growers, this phase can look confusing. Leaves begin to fade. White hairs begin to darken. Growth appears slower. The plant drinks differently. Some leaves curl. Some flowers swell unevenly. The plant looks “older.” And that is exactly what should be happening. This is not decline. This is maturation. Late flower is the point where the plant shifts energy away from expansion and into completion. That means: * less vertical push * less fresh green growth * slower water demand * increased resin output * calyx swelling * terpene maturation * pistil oxidation * nutrient drawdown from stored reserves The plant is not slowing down because something is wrong. It is slowing down because it is finishing correctly. ⸻ Trichomes — what they are, and what they are not This is where the real story is now. Trichomes are not “frost.” They are not cosmetic sparkle. They are not just visual proof that a plant “looks strong.” And they are definitely not just sugar. Trichomes are glandular resin heads — microscopic biochemical factories built by the plant. Their job is protection. They exist to defend the flower from: * UV stress * heat * dehydration * pests * fungal pressure * environmental stress And inside those tiny resin glands is where the plant stores much of what we care about most: * cannabinoids * terpenes * flavonoids * volatile compounds * aromatic oils So when we say a plant is “getting frosty,” what we actually mean is: The plant is reaching peak resin production and chemical expression. That frost is chemistry made visible. And right now, LSD is deep in that phase. The resin is no longer just forming. It is maturing. That distinction matters. Early trichomes are mostly clear — immature, still developing, not yet fully expressed. Then they move cloudy/milky — peak cannabinoid development, strongest active expression. Then amber begins — oxidation, degradation, and chemical transition into later-stage ripeness. This is why trichomes matter more than pistils. More than fan leaves. More than fade. Because trichomes tell you what the flower is doing chemically — not just visually. And right now, these plants are no longer building resin. They are finishing it. ⸻ The “curl” in the leaves One of the easiest late-flower details to misread. At this stage, some sugar leaves begin to curl, claw, or fold inward around the flower. New growers often panic here. But in late flower, this is often not a feeding issue. It is not always heat. It is not automatically toxicity. Sometimes, very simply: There is just too much flower and too much resin sitting on too little leaf. At this point the plant is carrying weight, stacking density, and coating nearby leaf tissue in resin so heavily that those small leaves begin to tighten, curl, and fold into the flower. It is a late-stage pressure response. Part mechanical. Part environmental. Part genetic. Very often normal. Context matters. And in this context — dense tops, heavy trichome load, stable temps, no major stress signals — this reads like maturity, not trouble. ⸻ Pistils — why the white hairs are changing This is another classic late-flower marker. Those white hairs are pistils. Early on, they emerge bright white as the flower actively builds and reaches. As the flower matures, those pistils begin to: * darken * curl inward * oxidize * retract into swollen calyx tissue That change from white to orange/brown is not the plant “dying.” It is the flower aging into ripeness. Fresh white pistils usually signal active new flower development. Darkened pistils usually signal that part of the flower is maturing and beginning to finish. This is why late flower often shows both at once: * older pistils darkening * newer pistils still pushing That is normal. Flowers do not ripen all at once. They ripen in layers. And that’s exactly what we’re seeing now. ⸻ Feeding — why less is doing more This is the point where overfeeding does more harm than underfeeding. The plant no longer needs to be pushed. It needs to be allowed to finish. Right now the feed is still simple, controlled, and appropriate: * Pure Zym * Sugar Royal * CalMag Pro * Terra Bloom * Power Buds * Green Sensation Nothing excessive. Nothing chaotic. No late-game bottle collecting. No panic additives. Just enough to support: * final bulking * resin maturity * metabolic efficiency * clean finish That’s the right move here. And yes — next week is likely the point where feedings begin to step down or stop entirely. Not because the plant is starving. Because the plant is done demanding. That’s the difference. Late flower feeding is not about force-feeding weight. It is about supporting the final metabolic steps without leaving excess behind. The closer we get to harvest, the less the plant needs to be fed — and the more it needs to be left alone. ⸻ Environment — why nothing is changing This room is still stable. And stable is exactly what late flower wants. * 26°C day * 18°C night * 60% RH * ~21°C root zone * ~18°C solution * 12/12 unchanged * CO₂ stable * watering controlled And most importantly: The plants clearly like it. So we do not change what is working just because we are close to harvest. Late flower is not the time to start experimenting. Not the time to suddenly drop temperatures. Not the time to force stress. Not the time to chase color. Not the time to “improve” a stable room. Consistency is what got the plants here. Consistency is what finishes them properly. ⸻ Weight gain — where the real growth is now The plant is not stretching anymore. But it is absolutely still growing. Just differently. This is density growth now. Mass growth. Calyx stacking. Internal swelling. Resin thickening. Water redistribution. Final weight. This is where flowers stop looking bigger every day — but start feeling heavier every day. That is late flower. Less visible movement. More invisible gain. And this is where growers who harvest too early lose the most. Not because the plant looked unfinished. Because the final weight had not landed yet. That weight is landing now. ⸻ What to expect next week Next week is likely transition week. Not dramatic. Not aggressive. Just the beginning of the final slowdown. Expect: * less water demand * slower daily movement * more pistil darkening * more calyx swelling * heavier tops * continued fade * trichomes shifting deeper into maturity * feed reduction or full stop approaching This is the point where observation becomes more important than intervention. The job next week is simple: Watch closely. Touch less. Finish clean. ⸻ Final thoughts This is one of the most beautiful parts of the cycle. Not because it is explosive. Because it is precise. This is where good structure becomes good flower. Where patience becomes weight. Where resin becomes chemistry. Where restraint becomes quality. LSD is no longer trying to impress. It is trying to finish. And it is doing that exactly right.

Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

Week 1 - 01/01 to 01/08 2021 HUGE THANKS TO @MARSHYDROLED and @VIPARSPECTRALED! New surge protectors/heavy duty timers/the good cords. The LSD-25 itself looks similar to my first run with a very slow growth compared to the other 3 strains i have going now. It is from the same tester kit so I am expecting a small plant overall but the new lights will definitely give me more overall bud. I have all my seedlings under the P1500 from Vipar as my veg light for the first few weeks to a month. It's SO nice to not have a blurple anymore, the light is way better in my room and on the eyes. The new diodes had every single seedling grow more in 6 hours than it did in the first 7 days under the blurp LED, EVEN the LSD-25. It had no hight to it before the Vipar went in. While the other 3 are doing better, the LSD is still going to be one of my favourites. I can't wait to smell that earthy/varnish/citrus. I noticed a bit of spotting on the Dark Devil in my other diary so I added some Hydrogen Peroxide to the spray bottle and it cleared up. All four have been getting constant spritzing from the spray bottle to keep humidity up. Have no doubt the new lights will make the plant/overall yield. Thanks for stopping in! Throw down a like and/or follow so i can return the favour 🙌 -- Check out my Diary of the Year 2020 entry 🙏 https://growdiaries.com/diaries/54258-fastbuds-original-auto-sour-diesel-grow-journal-by-glazedgrow IG: @GlazedGrow CannaBuzz: @GlazedGrow

The plants are not fully in the same stage, but most started getting milky trichomes so I decided to flush. Roughly 3-4 times the usual amount of water. Ph to 6.2 and a lot of run off water. Never experienced with flushing so here goes nothing. I will try and cut all the plants at the same time. The trichome development will be at different stages but this might be a good way to see what trichome stage I like most, and I will be able to decide better in future grows. To be honest I'm not looking for highest possible THC content ;) Taste/smell are priority.

April 23 Fading leaves and turning purple. I'm making sure to do my due diligence in removing all dead leaves between the buds as they die, so that I'm not having dead leaves stuck in the bud as it dries. Trichomes aren't quite where I want them yet. The ones nearest the light are orange, but not much orange is anywhere else.

Bud wet weight : 168,1g of trimmed medium to big sized buds 25,4g of tiny tiny buds/larfs = 193.5 grams of trimmed wet buds. Details on genetics and smoke report above. This, as my first grow, is way more than I ever expected it to be. I haven´t had that much fun and enthusiasm in a very very long time. I can´t even explain the feeling it is to harvest your own cannabis, but I know most of you know what I´m talking about haha. It was really nice to practice LST, even tho it was SO HARD, ´cause I didn´t had barely any space to work since I used a hard pot and did not fill nearly half the size of it and the walls of the pot were really high. It was even difficult to water without dropping water on the lower buds. I haven´t learnt much about defoliation tho, I feel I need to study a little more about the phases you should or should not do it. Also, I discovered thrips are a pain in the ass. I had 2 tough weeks dealing with thrips, but in the end it was alright. I don´t have any humidity control device, which I intend to buy for the next grows. Growdiaries was really helpful for me, it kept me motivated everyday (not that I wouldn´t have had it anyways), the Grow Questions are REALLY useful and all the community is awesome. Thanks to all people that helped me here on GD during this first grow! To conclude it: I am really happy and satisfied with how the grow turned out. They look incredible, it almost feels like I can´t believe it still. Peace. UPDATES: 07/10 : The buds are now dry and already in curing jars, one of them with a Boveda 58% humidity pack. The total grams of the dry buds are: 41.4g (medium to big sized buds) 4.1g (tiny buds) = 45.5 grams! I´m really happy with the results, I thought it would be around 30g so yeah, that´s a really good surprise! In 2 weeks I´ll be back to update the smoke report. Thanks so much for reading! Peace. 09/10 : I managed to fit everything in the same container with some space between them, so now every bud is with the Boveda pack. 14/10: It´s been a week and the smell improved, it still smells a little like hay/plant ( even tho it´s not too dry neither too wet ). 21/10: Now it´s been two weeks and even tho the smell isn´t anymore hay, it´s a lot herbal. I really think the aroma can get better, but the taste is already good enough for me. The smoke report has been done and in case I have something to add, I´ll report here. Thank you so much for reading! Peace.

È veramente un mostro a parere mio. Cresce a vista d'occhio ogni giorno, ho dovuto rivedere il baldacchino, non smette di crescere.. Quindi ho eseguito ancora Lst. Tra qualche settimana sarà solo lei nella tenda.. Non vedo l'ora perché si è presa già tutto lo spazio

The first week of vegetation is here, and it’s been a bit of a mixed start for my two plants.🌱 One of them is looking a little droopy, while the other has developed slightly yellow leaves. I’m not entirely sure what’s causing these issues, but I’ve decided to give both plants their first dose of nutrients to help prevent further damage and hopefully get them back on track. I’ve been checking on them daily and keeping a close eye on their progress. I’m staying hopeful that they’ll bounce back and show improvement by next week.🌱

this is the last week before the harvest. the buds are formed 100% all in trichomes! this variety is very reminiscent of Afghan genetics. leaves and their shape. I think it should be an indica dominant variety. find out very soon)
