Been a busy week, everything is looking good I still have 1 that is behind and still recovering. Potted into 6.5L pots. Vpd is in range but does fluctuate. Gonna back the EC off a little as i find it to be high in nitrogen in places I don’t like doing plain watering so I shall lower the ec and do a little extra run off Midweek so some good recovery from transplanting everything looking good still environment perfect backed off the nutrients added a water butt and and air pumps to the room. Later week update, all these ladies are thriving in there environment really healthy plants, I need to get rid of the shite from the early growth when they were fresh cuttings now. The branching has exploded now these girls take about a week from topping to get back to full growth rate under these led lights other than that all good. 🌱

Woche 4 bricht an und es läuft hervorragend! Die Orange Sherbet bekommt diese Woche frischen Boden: eine Mischung aus Bio-bizz All-Mix und Greenhouse-Feeding, perfekt für die letzten Vegetationswochen und blüte. Zudem hat sich die Orange Sherbet sehr gut mit dem Backhefe-Buttermilch-Melasse-Experiment entwickelt, was zu einem starken CO2-Anstieg auf bis zu 1500 ppm geführt hat. 💨 Ich bin gespannt, wie sie sich in der neuen Umgebung entwickeln wird. Auf der anderen Seite explodieren die Frozen Black Cherries förmlich in der Hydroponik! 🌱 Die Entwicklung ist beeindruckend, und ich könnte nicht zufriedener sein mit ihrem Fortschritt. Die Blütephase rückt näher, und ich bin gespannt, wie sich alles weiterentwickelt! Ich halte euch auf dem Laufenden! 🚀 Week 4 is here, and things are going great! The Orange Sherbet is getting new soil this week—a blend of Bio-Beth All-Mix and Greenhouse-Feeding, setting her up perfectly for the final weeks of vegetation and . Additionally, the Orange Sherbet has responded well to the back yeast-buttermilk-molasses experiment, resulting in a significant CO2 increase of up to 1500 ppm. 💨 I'm excited to see how she adapts to her new environment. Meanwhile, the Frozen Black Cherries are absolutely thriving in hydro! 🌱 Their growth has been phenomenal, and I couldn't be more impressed with their progress. The flowering phase is getting closer, and I can't wait to see how everything unfolds! I'll keep you updated! 🚀

She's going stronger. Now she's in flower it looks like she'll be finishing veg smaller than hoped for but will still have good few bud sites. Been LSTingthe bigger fan leaves that are... were, blocking prime bud sights. A good heavy water with molasses today too... 29/11... Lucky girl! And a little bit of LSTing today 30/11 Day 38?

Germination Report 1. Introduction & Thank Yous First of all: a huge thank you to: Zamnesia Seeds — for trusting us with the LSD (feminized) genetics. Plagron — for providing the LightMix Bio soil and support. Future of Grow — for the Air Grow Pro III 2.95 Hyper Red LED setup and the Nova 2C Pro control system. Cannakan — for the germination bundle that allowed us to start strong and clean. And of course: GrowDiaries community, our sponsors, our followers (both long-time and new), even the haters — everyone who watches, learns, and shares energy with us. Without all of you, this project wouldn’t be as magical, ambitious, or grounded. 2. Project Overview & Germination Method Goal: To document the full lifecycle of LSD (Zamnesia Seeds) — from seed to harvest — and share detailed observations, successes, and learnings in a transparent, educational way. Germination method used: Water soak – We placed the seeds in clean, filtered water. After about 24-36 hours, the taproots (“tails”) emerged. Direct sow into soil – Once taproots appeared, we gently transferred the seeds into Plagron LightMix Bio, without using a separate starter medium. Monitoring – We maintained optimal conditions for moisture, temperature, and gentle light (using the Future of Grow LED at low power to avoid shocking the seedlings). Now, we wait and observe. We will document germination rate, any variability, and the time it takes for cotyledons and true leaves to appear. 3. Genetics: LSD (Zamnesia Seeds) Strain background: This is LSD from Zamnesia Seeds, feminized. Genetics: Mazar-I-Sharif × Skunk. It’s 70% indica / 30% sativa. THC: up to 25% under optimal conditions. CBD: very low (~0-1%) per breeder. Flowering: ~8-9 weeks photoperiod. Size: indoor ~90 cm; outdoor ~100 cm. Yield: indoor up to 700 g/m² (per Zamnesia) Terpene profile & effects: Dominant terpenes: caryophyllene and myrcene. Aroma: earthy, skunky, slightly sour / tabacco-like. Effect: long-lasting, relaxing body stone + euphoric, “trippy” cerebral effect — a bit psychedelic but not aggressively “couch-lock.” What to Expect (Phenotype & Growth): Because of the indica dominance, expect relatively compact, bushy plants. Good resin production — Mazar-I-Sharif contributes strong resin traits. Given the genetics, plants may be quite stress tolerant (Zamnesia notes stress resistance). Internodal spacing may be moderate, but because of high resin potential, it's ideal to manage light and train carefully for dense bud structure. 4. Soil: Plagron LightMix Bio Why LightMix Bio? Using Plagron LightMix Bio, we're choosing a light, biologically active substrate that’s ideal for young plants and seedlings. Key soil characteristics: According to Plagron’s technical data sheet, LightMix has a pH around 6.3 (1:1.5). Electrical Conductivity (EC) is about 1.0 mS/cm (1:1.5) when measured by their method. Nutrient-wise, LightMix contains modest levels of N, P₂O₅, K₂O — enough to support seedlings but not so rich that there’s risk of nutrient burn early. Plagron recommends starting to feed only after the first week, so the soil gives a gentle, buffered base for early growth. Implications for germination: By sowing directly into this soil, we give seedlings a stable, gentle environment. The buffering capacity helps prevent pH swings. Biological activity (microorganisms) in LightMix helps nutrient uptake once roots grow, but since LightMix is relatively “light,” we must monitor and plan feeding as plants move beyond seedling stage. 5. Lighting Setup: Future of Grow We're using Future of Grow gear, which is absolutely top-tier, so here’s what to expect and how it plays into our germination + veg phases. Light unit: Air Grow Pro III 2.95 Hyper Red LED from Future of Grow. Power: ~600 W (±5%). Photon Flux / PPF: ~ 1,794 µmol/s. Efficiency: 2.95 µmol/J. Dimmer: has a 25% - 50% - 75% - 100% dimmer and supports 0-10 V dimming (compatible with controllers like Trolmaster) LED spectrum: “3-in-1” design: different spectral blends for different growth stages (germination, vegetative, flowering) + enriched red spectrum (“Hyper Red”) for boosting yield & resin. Advantages of Hyper Red: More red-light proportion increases resin production, helps open stomata, can reduce stretch, and may suppress botrytis risk. Energy savings: Compared to HPS, this LED uses 40-60% less energy per the manufacturer. IP54 rating, good build, driver remote cable (4m) so we can position driver outside the tent if needed. I control everything with Nova 2C Pro from Future of Grow. This gives me precise control over dimming (0–10 V), which is ideal for adjusting light intensity across phases (germination, veg, flower). With the Nova 2C Pro, you can program light schedules, dimming profiles, and likely integrate with other environment controls (if you have them) — giving you the flexibility to ramp up the light gently for seedlings, then scale up in veg, and later maximize for flowering. 6. What We Expect (Short-Term & Long-Term) Short-Term (Germ + Seedling): Germination rate: because you soaked the seeds and then sowed, I’d expect a high germination percentage, given healthy seeds and good water conditions. Timing: tails already out after ~24–36h is excellent. In soil, cotyledons should emerge in ~2–4 days, and true leaves by ~5–7 days (depending on conditions). Root development: roots will begin colonizing the LightMix, tapping into its modest nutrients. You should see good vigor if moisture, pH, and light are stable. Risk factors: overwatering, damping off, or too intense light stress at this stage. Use gentle misting, maintain humidity, and avoid driving the light too hard too early. Long-Term (Veg → Flower → Harvest): Vegetative phase: plants should remain relatively compact (given LSD’s indica-dominance), but with your LED, you can promote healthy branching and resinous pre-flowers. Flower phase: Expect robust resin production, thanks to Hyper-Red spectrum. The LSD genetics + red-enriched light may push for dense, potent buds. Yield: Realistically, yield will depend on how well you manage training, light, nutrients, and space — but given the reported potential (~700 g/m²), with your gear and a solid grow, you have a chance to get very respectable yields. Quality: Expect a classic skunky, earthy aroma, with the “trippy” effect LSD is known for. The terpene profile (caryophyllene, myrcene) should shine, especially if your environmental control is good. 7. Risks & Challenges, and How We’ll Mitigate Them Overwatering/damping-off Mitigation: Use light misting, allow soil surface to slightly dry, maintain humidity at moderate levels, and avoid waterlogging. pH drift Mitigation: Although LightMix is buffered, check pH of feed water once you start feeding; adjust if needed. Light stress Mitigation: Start with low dimmer settings, keep light at a safe distance in germ / seedling phase, then gradually ramp up. Stretch / internode control Mitigation: Use training (LST, topping, etc.) if needed, and take advantage of the red-enriched spectrum which naturally reduces excessive vertical stretch. Pest / disease Mitigation: Keep clean environment, good air circulation, monitor for early signs, and use environmentally friendly control strategies. 8. Metrics We'll Track & Report on GrowDiaries To make this truly educational and transparent, here are the metrics we document and report regularly: Light settings (dimmer %, height above canopy) Environmental conditions (temperature, humidity) Any nutrient data (once feeding begins) Training methods used (if any) Milestones (first node, stretch, preflowers) Photographs (high resolution) to document morphology 9. Conclusion / Reflection This germination run is more than just a “test”: it’s the foundation of a full seed-to-harvest journey with a legendary strain — LSD — under truly professional-level gear and high-quality organic soil. With the support of Zamnesia Seeds, Plagron, Future of Grow, and Cannakan, we have a dream team backing us. That means not just for yield or potency — but for education: growing in a way that inspires and informs. We are deeply grateful to everyone: sponsors, community, followers, and even critics — because their energy fuels our commitment to be open, rigorous, and passionate.

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.

Welcome to week six! 🌱 Week five was a complete success – all parameters are perfectly aligned. I’ve increased the water conductivity to a solid 3000 and bumped the CO2 level up to 1200 🌿. Light intensity is now set at 1400 µmol in the center and 1000 at the edges, which will keep the plants strong in their generative state 🌞. I’ll maintain these levels until the end of the third week and then start slowly removing the large fan leaves to ensure the buds get plenty of light 💡✨. I’m also trying something new to activate the “Emerson effect” 🌄: I’m running the deep red lights for 5 minutes before sunset and for another 5 minutes after the day ends. This should give the plants a final boost in photosynthesis, helping to maximize their growth potential! Everything’s looking fantastic so far! The Black Cherry has rooted well across different experimental setups, and at the end of the grow, I’ll provide a full report on the best care techniques for both strains 🌺👌. Willkommen in Woche sechs! 🌱 Die fünfte Woche lief perfekt – alle Parameter stimmen. Ich habe die Leitfähigkeit des Wassers auf satte 3000 erhöht und den CO2-Gehalt auf 1200 angehoben 🌿. Die Lichtstärke beträgt jetzt 1400 µmol in der Mitte und 1000 am Rand, was dafür sorgen wird, dass die Pflanzen stark im generativen Zustand bleiben 🌞. Ich werde diese Werte bis Ende der dritten Woche beibehalten und dann langsam damit beginnen, die großen Sonnensegel zu entfernen, damit die Blüten ordentlich Licht abkriegen 💡✨. Zusätzlich probiere ich etwas Neues aus, um den „Emerson-Effekt“ zu aktivieren 🌄: Ich lasse das tiefrote Licht 5 Minuten vor Sonnenuntergang und 5 Minuten nach dem Ende des Tages weiterlaufen. Das sollte der Photosynthese einen letzten Schub geben und das Wachstum der Pflanzen maximal fördern! Bis jetzt sieht alles fantastisch aus! Die Black Cherry ist in verschiedenen Versuchsreihen gut angewachsen, und am Ende des Grows werde ich einen ausführlichen Bericht darüber abgeben, wie sich die beiden Sorten am besten pflegen lassen 🌺👌.

***Sponsored Grow*** = Medic || https://medicgrow.com || Grow = ***Sponsored Grow*** Still have some issues with the feed and this pineapple dream, they are getting some burning in the sides on some of the larger fan leaves, I would say it could have been over feeding but the runoff is not that bad, and I would expect more burning on the other plants as well. Its smell has changed a bit as well, its not as fruity as it was earlier on or its diluted by all the other smells in the tent, might be a sign I am giving them to much water at a time as well. Still giving them a 2:1 or 2.5:1 grow vs bloom nutrient. Its helping with some of the pink stems from last week. Feeding strength is up .2 point to reach 900ppm or aorund 1.8EC will leave it here fro the remainder of Veg. Prob will do for 2 more weeks then flip to flower as I just topped them and want to give them some time to recover. NPK ratio of 7-7-14 1:1 equal parts grow/bloom. Grow=8-4-15 Bloom=6-10-14 Boost=1-15-30 "not yet used it yet" Also took some clones from the plants as well, took two main cuttings from each plant, forgot to do the one so its not shown in the first video up the updated clone pics later in the week. If any of these impress me then the clones will go outside and grow there all year for a extra special harvest. Or I'll give them out to some friends and family maybe a little gorilla gardening project, but I will wait before getting ride of them all as I'm still kicking my self in the ass over the Blue Cindy loss. really liked that plant and wish its clones I gave out where still aorund. Lights doing well. The V1 spectrum is good on the medic grow mini sun-2's 240w. No issues so far, dimmed at 80% till flower is initiated then up to 100%, Will test out 13/11 I think as the schedule to give them some more photons for an extra hour vs 12/12 . Till next week. ***Sponsored Grow*** Official Website: https://medicgrow.com/ + https://www.kannabia.com/en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/medicgrowled + https://www.facebook.com/kannabiaseed/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/medicgrow + https://twitter.com/kannabiaseeds Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/medicgrow420/ + https://www.instagram.com/kannabiaseedsint YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNmiY4F9z94u-8eGj7R1CSQ + https://www.youtube.com/c/KannabiaSeedCompany Growdiaries: https://growdiaries.com/grower/medicgrowled https://growdiaries.com/grow-lights/medic-grow + https://growdiaries.com/grower/kannabia https://growdiaries.com/seedbank/kannabia

Note on PieLato 💨 1. Easily breaking down before rolling up. 2. On the inhale , can taste the rubber or hint of gas(Hit the blunt) and on the tone down sweet bake (backend) 3. On the exhale light , barely coughing good cough and then once kick in smooth after that… 4. Smell like something my grandma be smoking on. Got that sitting in the living room where her plants is at and smell of incense lit in background . At the same time weeeed like dispensary walk in line up… smoking while describing.. 5. PieLato effect head high , body high and rewind . I sense after party or smoking this. You going to want to go to your Momma house or whoever bake goods . That that PieLato. Mad tho only have one plant good sh!t…. Make you want to put on Nipsey part when he said burning rubber 🔥

Welcome Back!💚 Nach der vierten Woche entwickelt sich die THC-Victory weiterhin rapide und nach dem topping zeichnet sich es ab, dass die Pflanze sich nun sehr schnell in die Breite ausdehnt. Dieses Mal ist mir leider ein Trieb beim LST irreparabel Abgebrochen, aber wie ich die Pflanzen so kenne, kompensieren Sie dass relativ schnell. Da die Pflanze eine reine Sativa ist, wird heute (26.09.25) die Blüte eingeleitet, da ich mit einem sehr starken Stretch rechne. Die Umgebungsgegebenheiten sind weiterhin optimal: ————— 🌞 Temp: 24°C bis 26°C 🌚 Temp: 18°C bis 19°C 💨 RH: 68% VPD: 0,7 kPa👍 ————— Grüne Grüße 🥦

And she is definitely on the run with her sister, she is growing , i mean growing so fast that is just crazy, her structure is getting better but still looks very fragile wen compared with any other girl on these tent, but these in the end means nothing so lets keep giving her love and all the attention she deserves. She is defiantly a sativa dominant phenotype, her structure, her leafs, everything about these one indicates that but lets see Sorry so little updates lately this will change for 2023 , i promise that as for now my wishes for you all are that 2023 brings Joy , health, abundance and great weed to bake hihiihi Oh and i know it kind looks out of control , with kind a is since they are all way bigger than i ever predicted, i will get in there defoliate and figure it out how it will all go from there, what to do wen life trows you big plants you thank for them and try your best to control them beasts , thats what i am trying and will do hihihi As always thank you all for stoping by and for supporting me on this journey, i am super passion about growing and fell blessed to have you all with me on this new journey <3 <3 <3 Genetics - Fast Buds Banana Purple Punch Ligth - LUMATEK ZEUS 465 COMPACT PRO
