Everything is looking really good. I decided to remove more fan leaves than I was comfortable with, I guess I will see how it affects overall growth. I figure the stretch should be done, so now the main focus is on the flowers. The smell is sweet like berries that were dipped in kerosene (like toxic gas)

Helloing 👋🏻friends and visitors. Welclone to my Clone diary🙃 Both Clones are doing fantastic! Some leaves are changing colour from green to burgundish underneath and dark green on top. Some top buds have so much frost on them that I mistakenly thought it was mold😳😅 all is good though 😉 ______________________________ Feeding: Tue 12Dec: 3L each w/nuts pH'd 6.5 Fri 15Dec : 3L each w/nuts pH'd 6.5 Mon18Dec:2L each water only pH'd 6.5 _______________________________ Thanks for stopping by, likes and comments are appreciated 👊🏻😎 Keep on growin! Keep on tokin!!! 😙💨💨💨💨💨

Planted into final 15 ltr pots, put into veg tent, started automated feeding on light nutrients. Automated watering, pump turns on & waters plants for 15 minutes out of every hour. Recirculating hydro, I run air pumps to my resovoir to provide airated water/nutes to the plants. Hydro system is a 15 ltr pro pot recirculating adjustable height system. Inner & outer pots! Inner pot has plastic mesh type of bottom , holes everywhere to allow roots to grow through, this sits in a sealed pot apart from 19 mm drainage hose, & has 3 adjustable heights. Which is very handy when you have plants of different heights, as it helps to level them out. Drainage pipe is waround an inch or so off the bottom, so that their is always water/nutes in the bottom of pot, another reason I run air lines. Plants grow big root system's in it! At harvest time when I take the top pots out the roots have filled the entire space & are really compressed! Absolutely crazy! I run the same set up in veg & flower & as I grow perpetualy it makes it easy to simply pick up the inner pot & move it & place it in flowering tent & set up. System can be purchased with a 3rd pot as to be used upside down as a base to get pots of the ground so they can be drained back to a res. Instead of doing like that I simply built a table to sit the system on allowing me to drain it to a res underneath, it came at a good price as well, grows awesome plants.

More Flowering! The rest of the strains started to catch up, but nanners started showing in the hermies and TP started to overripen with orange hairs. I would've gone extra days if there were no nanners, but it wasn't worth it to risk seeding the nugs, I'll just have to settle with more larfy buds. Going to start flushing next week.

First grow. Ph 6.3 /temp 23 /RH%60 /water ppm 210 /Co2 500 ppm/18-6 light/ par value 600/ techna flora recipe for success nutrient cycle. Kryptonite organic worm casting soil. No training yet. 3.5 litres of water every 3 days . First mistake and note to growers and self when using spray bottle to we surface make sure not rip off any leaves as your pulling the trigger...oh well she will live.

Thanks Pyramid Seeds for your good genetics. Not my first experience with PS, like them so much. I was happy to grow this baby. It my first experience with coco. No pH or ppm meters, nothing just my eyes and feeling whole process. Thanks to ru brend Plantators for good feedings and stims for awesome price. You always can ask me about everything, I'm always in connection.

🌱 Week 1 — LSD (Zamnesia Seeds) – 12/12 From Seed | Update & Observations ✨ Introduction & Gratitude A massive thank you to everyone supporting this project: • Zamnesia Seeds for the LSD feminized genetics. • Plagron for LightMix Bio and the nutrient line powering this run. • Future of Grow for the Air Grow Pro III 2.95 Hyper Red LED & Nova 2C Pro controller. • Cannakan for the germination bundle and clean start. • And of course — GrowDiaries community, followers, supporters, critics – all of you bringing energy to the project. Your presence transforms a simple grow into a full learning journey. ⸻ 🌱 Germination Success & Early Structure Many seeds germinated beautifully — strong, vibrant, full of potential. I’m officially cataloging two plants here on GrowDiaries, but behind the scenes I’m maintaining several siblings for phenotype observation and comparison. This run is 12/12 from seed, which creates a very specific growth pattern: During Week 1: • Plants remain very small (just a couple of centimeters). • Above-ground growth is minimal. • Below-ground activity is extremely high. This is expected — and intentional. ⸻ 🌘 Understanding 12/12 From Seed When a plant receives 12/12 from day one, the message is: “The season is ending soon — focus on rooting and survival.” So instead of stretching or building large leaves, she invests early energy into: • Expanding roots • Stabilizing her metabolism • Preparing for an early, compact flowering cycle • Setting the foundation before vertical growth begins From my past 12/12 tests, this is always the pattern: Weeks 1–3 = Root-building mode Then suddenly — they take off. This method produces smaller but extremely resinous plants with fast turnaround and interesting terpene expression. ⸻ 💧 Feeding – Plagron Nutrient Strategy (Week 1) Even in Week 1 we’re feeding intentionally, because 12/12 requires an accelerated metabolic ramp. Water mix: • Terra Grow: 25 ml / 10 L • Power Roots: 1 ml / L • Pure Zym: 1 ml / L • Sugar Royal: 1 ml / L Foliar spray: • Vita Race: 2.5 ml / L Why this works: • Power Roots accelerates root mass — crucial for 12/12. • Pure Zym keeps soil active and helps nutrient absorption. • Sugar Royal boosts stress tolerance & vigor. • Terra Grow prevents early N deficiencies. • Vita Race strengthens the seedlings right away. This creates a balanced early nutrient environment for fast-cycle genetics. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment & Water Metrics Everything is stable and aligned with early root development: • EC: ~1.0 • pH: ~6.0 • Water temperature: 21–22°C • Room temperature: ~28°C • Humidity: 65–70% • CO₂: ~666 ppm (a number I personally enjoy 😄) This environment encourages rapid enzymatic activity, strong roots, and good nutrient flow. ⸻ 💡 Lighting – 500 PPFD From Day One We’re running 500 PPFD from the start, controlled by the Nova 2C Pro. Most growers start low… but in 12/12 from seed, higher PPFD ensures the plants receive enough total daily light early on. Why this works: • Ensures strong photosynthesis despite short photoperiod • Prepares the plants for higher PPFD later • Reduces stretch • Works extremely well with the Future of Grow Hyper Red spectrum The seedlings are responding exactly as expected — compact and healthy. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect Next Weeks 2–3 • Slow, steady vertical growth • Leaf expansion • Root zone fully activates • First signs of hormonal shift toward pre-flower Weeks 4–5 • Miniature stretch phase • Formation of early bud sites • Structure hardens and prepares for flower stacking This run will produce compact, fast, resin-rich plants — perfect for demonstrating what’s possible with professional gear and alternative light cycles. ⸻ 📊 Metrics Being Tracked To keep this educational and transparent, we’re logging: • PPFD (currently 500) • Light height & dimmer percentage • Temperature / humidity / VPD • EC, pH, water temp • Feeding amounts & intervals • Growth progression, morphology, and structure • Differences between the official GD plants and the siblings ⸻ 💬 Final Thoughts Week 1 sets the foundation for an exciting 12/12 run with LSD from Zamnesia. This method is unconventional — but extremely rewarding when executed properly. And with: • High-quality genetics • Plagron nutrients • Professional-grade light from Future of Grow • Clean germination support from Cannakan • And an active, engaged community …this project becomes more than a grow. It becomes a shared learning experience. Thank you to everyone following, supporting, questioning, watching, and sending energy. You make this journey meaningful.

Trust me, you won’t want to miss the next steps, let’s push the boundaries of indoor horticulture together! As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together. With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6000 (for now A6700 will be doing all future updates) paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. 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.

420Fastbuds FBT2312/Week1 Week 1 update on these new sprouts. Been a week since they sprouted and so far seems good. I did switch from misting the top soil with my sprayer to feeding 500ml of water and 1/4tsp/gal strength General Hydroponics Calimagic about every other day. Started seeing some rust spots so I'll keep a close eye and make sure it doesn't get any worse. Over all Happy Growing

Esa familia, de vuelta vamos a actualizar esta tercera semana de floración de estas candy caramelo de Zambezaseeds. Son fast flowering, así que veremos que tal se rápidas son en su floración, hasta ahora se están comportando muy bien, tienen 0 bloqueos alimenticios, esta vez no se nos va de la mano con el producto 😂. En resumen color verde, vigorosas, bastante estables hasta ahora, sigo regulando ph , humedad y temperatura. Gracias al led ts-600 que me a facilitado marshydro es posible cultivar en interior 365 días al año . Www.mars-hydro.com web: http://bit.ly/2uJAjgy ts600: http://bit.ly/3cnv0Ev code: an420 Macetas de 7L en sustrato all mix de plagron, hasta ahora esto es todo un saludo y buenos humos gente 💨💨💨
