Due to construction and revamping of our space, we had to leave all seedlings in their germination dome for approximately a month before getting them into veg. In order to not run into any space issues within the small dome, these young plants were kept under a low-wattage fluorescent tube to avoid any growth which may have been "too vigorous." VEG WEEK 1: 03/09/2021: (Image 1) Each plant was potted into, and fed with the following nutrients during transplant: 1. 5l FF F1 medium 2. GHF: Biogrow - 15g worked into medium 3. Wormcastings (workd into medium and astop dress) 4. Organics Matter Mycoroot Supreme -placed at the bottom of the planting hole. 5. Watered each plant with a Silicon Plus feed solution . 07/09/2021: (Image 2) - All plants are now in 5l pos with Freedom Farms F1 medium, and are in their new veg home under a 3500K 320W Quantum Board. - The 3 weakest seedlings of the total 19 seeds (1x Crit and 2x PC) were placed on the left side of the tent, and in different pots, as they are obviously struggling and may not even make it into our final flower room.

Harvest & Trim Report — RollerCoaster Haze (Zamnesia Seeds) Overview We’ve reached the end of the RollerCoaster Haze ride. After an intense and rewarding flowering period, the girls were harvested and processed with care. This is a full documentation of the final stage: harvest timing, drying method, trimming workflow, kief collection and pressing, and final yields. This harvest produced excellent results from two phenotypes — a true tribute to the genetics and the ecosystem we built around them. Final dry yields: • Pheno #3: 138 g (dry, trimmed bud) • Pheno #2: 224 g (dry, trimmed bud) Total dry bud: 362 g We also collected kief and pressed it into a beautiful resinous hash using heat and pressure; this sits alongside the cured flower and will be part of the upcoming smoke review. ⸻ Harvest Timing & Rationale The decision to harvest was made after careful observation of trichome and pistil development, the overall fade, aroma intensity, and the plants’ finish-line behaviour. The last weeks of the run had been dedicated to ripening: we completed the last balanced feed, then transitioned to plain water and a spectral end-season program (reduced whites/blues, elevated red/far-red/UV). These cues — combined with visible trichome development and the natural fade in the canopy — indicated the plants were ready to come down. ⸻ Cutting & Whole-Plant Drying • Each plant was cut whole and hung to dry intact. • Drying duration: two weeks (full-plant hang), at the environment you maintained (consistent conditions around your final stage set point). This allowed a controlled, gradual loss of moisture and preserved aromatic compounds and trichome integrity. • Drying environment was monitored and managed with the same attention as the grow: consistent airflow, humidity control and gentle circulation to avoid hotspots while preventing too rapid desiccation. (Notes: this section is a narrative of what i did. For clarity on local rules and safety, always follow local regulations and recommended practices.) ⸻ Trimming Workflow • After the two-week hang, the plants were moved to a dedicated trimming area and placed in the trim bin for processing. • Trimming method: primarily hand trim, using delicate, precise trimming tools and patience — “delicatessen and love” as i put it. The emphasis was on preserving trichome-rich surfaces while shaping each bud for appearance and even curing. • Hand trimming allowed you to selectively manicure the buds, remove the remaining larger fans, and leave the finished colas in a state ideal for curing and later consumption. The results were clean, visually appealing buds with intact resin heads. ⸻ Curing & Storage • Trimmed buds were carefully placed into Grove Bags for the finish of the cure. The Grove Bags are being used as the controlled environment for the slow biochemical processes that refine aroma, smoothness, and terpene expression. • The plan is to allow the flower to finish its cure under stable conditions until ready for the smoke review. This prolonged, stable cure should bring out the nuanced haze profile the genetics promise. ⸻ Kief Collection & Resin Press • While trimming, kief was collected from the trim and from screens. The kief was then pressed into a concentrated resin/hash using heat and pressure. • The result is a solid, aromatic hash — glossy and packed with the strain’s signature terpenes — a beautiful secondary product from the harvest and a perfect complement to the flower in the smoke review. ⸻ Sensory & Quality Notes • Aroma: intensely hazy — a dominant hay-sweet note with mature, layered complexity. The smell in the drying/trim room was strong and very characteristic of a classic haze. • Appearance: colors trending golden to warm yellow tones, heavy frosting of trichomes, dense calyxes and robust colas. The buds visually convey potency and quality. • Structure: each phenotype expressed the haze identity; long internodes on some branches, dense stacking on others — overall excellent structure that translated into heavy colas and great yields. ⸻ Recap: Seed → Harvest at a Glance • Germination: pillbox water method; seeds cracked and into soil within 48 hours. Gentle Aptus start mix supported early vigor. • Vegetative: bottom-watering to promote downward root growth; transplanted and vegged with controlled training and canopy management. • Flower: early flip to 11/13; progressive nutrition with Aptus + Plagron mix; inner canopy lighting (ICL300) to support middle/low bud development; spectrum tuning (red/far-red/UV) toward the end of flower. Final flush and plain water to finish. • Harvest: judged by trichome and pistil maturity, aroma, and overall plant condition. Whole-plant hang for two weeks, then hand-trimmed and cured in Grove Bags. Kief collected and pressed to make hash. • Yield: Pheno #2 — 224 g; Pheno #3 — 138 g (dry, trimmed flower). ⸻ Gratitude & Next Steps Thank you to everyone who followed this run — your support, questions, and shared passion have been part of what made this project so rewarding.

Day 63 - lookin good.... haha.... um, tanks stabilized, ph 5.8 - ppm 1200 .... she's feedin alot..... buds are fillin and lotsa white furries.... listed the nutes and amounts etc.., but i'm kinda feeding her as she needs.... so every few days she is drinking 2 lts +- and i'm just mixing up a neut solution in a 2 lt bottle every day or 2 ..... sometimes she just wants abit of water...... Day 64 +vid....shows her deep green and gloss... abit of crystalic :) Day 65 - vids pics.... trimmed her, and abit of bending.... Added blood and bone.... she's stretching alot, 60cm+ ........ Day 67 took all the early buds on all the stringy 0ff shoots.... Poor lighting vids, but don't want to mess with her flowering, :) 👍😎👊

12/20 - Fog Dog (Atlas seeds) started the paper towel method a day before the rest. The Fog Dog will be my “tester” plant. I will see how this plant handles different factors compared to the other 3 seeds. 12/21 - Put Double Grape, Tangerine Dream, and Glue Gelato in separate wet paper towels and ziplocks to pop. Tested well water. Ph at 6.0 and TDS/PPM at 43. 12/22 - Still waiting for seeds to do their thing using the paper towel method. 12/22 (7p) - -TD and GG both cracked and showed their fancy tails, so I put both in 3 gal fabric pots. FD cracked as well with tail; however, I put that in a 2 gal, as I am testing this one out. Was going to mix the Rabbit Creek Farm soil with Ocean Forest...but I forgot to mix in the Ocean Forest, so there's that. Have a feeling the Mephisto Double Grape will crack tomorrow and be moved into a 3 gal. -Temp in the tent is between 71.6-73 degrees F (TSW 2000 turned down from 100% to 25%. -Humidifier is acting funky. I want it to stay at my selected RH, but for now it is hovering between 64-67 mostly and 70-72. Needs permanent fixture...I dont like the range being off like that.

Holy fucking shit. I upped the E.C. to around 1.9 and it seems she LOVES it. Since the change (from 1.2 to 1.8) she suddenly draws 5L of water a day and the buds are starting to form. I can clearly already see the typical "cali" US genetics on this plant and i'm very excited to see that develop! Pretty sure i could have achieved the same state with only 6 weeks of veg, but i had to veg her longer for some other plants. Im curious, what she will yield, if someone can guess, i would be happy Take care of yourself, this will be a banger grow!

Flush Week !! More yellowing and colder tempereatures... Feeding is 1 irrigation plain water, and the next with 2-3 ml Top Candy, giving the plant the Carbohydrates it needs, but no more nutrients this week. Eating way less water than before. Aprox 1 week until harvest, and the end of the next week probably is going to be sunny. So not much more to say fellas, sooo as usual, Take care and Good VIbes !!!

Tag 88: Die Epsilon F1 Automatic von Royal Queen Seeds hat den besten Zeitpunkt zur Ernte erreicht. Blütetag in der Erntezeit. Das verspricht den höchsten Ölgehalt und damit die höchstmögliche Aromaausbeute. Die Buds sind klebrig und sehr hart. Ich versuche die Schöne langsam zu trocknen, ich schalte nur abends für ein paar Stunden den Venti an. Das Nassgewicht ist mit einer Küchenwaage gemessen und nur grob über den Daumen ernst zu nehmen. Schliesslich zählt das Trockene. 🥦 😀

Week 5.5 for PE, GSC (small one), & both GG's. Week 6 for everything else! Everything looks great other than the one GSC.. What I thought was light burn is apparently nute burn.... Run off PPM is about 100ppm higher than the rest... Gave the whole crop a little flush, and gave them half strength feedings for 2 days. Obviously the burnt tips won't recover, but it doesn't seem to be getting worse. Right now she's at a whopping FOURTY EIGHT inches... She is the most developed, and has officially begun producing buds. Scent def. resembles GSC, no question at all. Next best is the LSD25, growth is amazingly healthy, and is starting to form buds. Everything else is doing great, but going at pretty normal speed compared to the LSD & GSC Healthy white roots are exploding out the bottom of every pot; something I've never seen growing in soil.

she's a beast and has grown really tall just hoping the buds will fill out in the next few weeks, I grew this strain a while back but it looked completley different to this and was half the size, maybe that was because it was grown in soil ??

✨**Grow Report by Zuppler - Week 8 Flowering Phase** 👀🐗 Ayo, what’s good fam? Zuppler back with that Week 8 flowering update, and we’re gettin’ real close to harvest time now. Just two more weeks to go, and these girls are almost ready to shine. The buds have gotten so heavy I had to tie ‘em up to keep ‘em from toppin' over. They’re thick, dense, and full of weight – just what we’ve been workin’ for. I’ve already started flushin’ the medium, lettin’ ‘em clear out all the leftover nutes. The plants are respondin' well, and the fade is startin' to show real nice. Right now, almost all the trichomes are milky, and I’m just waitin' for that perfect amber to start showin' up. It’s a waiting game now, lettin' ‘em ripen and hit peak potency. The smell’s still crazy loud, and the resin is drippin’ like it’s made for the top shelf. Everything’s goin' smooth – temps, humidity, all dialed in to finish these queens off strong. We’re in the home stretch, and in two weeks, it’s choppin’ time. Zuppler signin’ out. The harvest is almost here, fam!

-everything is on schedule and good, tried 3 times rapid of nutrient tea(just lightly bit of kelp and alfafa and aerated 24hrs) and she loves it -i'm using a type of kale as cover crop for many benefits but i need most from it is heat fix(it's damn hot outside :D)
