Ive got two Skunk Apple Runz plants(tossed 1 when I repotted the plants) with exotic-looking leaves and some great genetics. These are seeds I made and both the parents were top notch. They're both about five inches tall and growing strong they both seem to have the growth strength from the ricky bobby Unfortunately, one of them might not make it because of some damage or mutation im not sure, it just seems to have stop growing upward correctly but the other one's looking really healthy. Happy late turkey day grow diaries world!!!! It's now day 24 from seed for all the seedlings I have going. The past few days the plants have really started to take off. There roots have really started to dig in. Every other water I am still giving 2ml per gal of fox farm grow big. I keep having to tell myself not to add any more nutes other than that. I don't want to fry my plants but I also want they to start jumping. I'm quite excited for the coming week, I think the next 7 days or so is when the plant really starts to transform and look more like a pot plant than just some random little green thing. A few days ago I decided to move the plants from under my 55w cheep amazon light to under my spider farmer 100w newer version light with the good leds in it. The plants will hopefully be ready to up pot them here soon and get them in the large tent. Sometimes when growing multiple different strains it can be really hard to balance giving to much or to little light. You don't want the faster growing plants to get to stretched out waiting on the slower plants to catch up I spend Thanksgiving day morning transplanting the plants into 2gal pots. I am useing spme promix potting soil it's my 1st time tring this soil. It is actually doing really well the roots were all white and nice looking. I think next time I'm going to add some worm casting, kelp, granular mycos, and a little bit extra perlite. I just didn't have the money with christmas coming to splurge for all the extra stuff. I got rid of 2 plants 1 of the bubble og and 1 skunk apple runtz. There is only room for 10 pots in the 2x4 tent. I will peob only bring 8 of them to flower, always good to have back ups. Yesterday I also stuck the plants back under the 500w medicgrow mini sun 2 in my 2x4 tent. They did great under it the 2nd half the day I was happy they didn't get stressed. I had put them under that light a little early about 10 days ago or so. I am expecting in a week these plants will ge going crazy with growth

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 I suggest we document and report regularly: Germination rate (# seeds germinated / total) Root health (if any observations / photography) Soil moisture & pH (weekly) 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.

She took off like a rocket. This week she’s definitely growing day by day. I bought a cctv to monitor my plants while I’m not at home. She loves the nutrients I’m giving her. I’ll probably grow her for about 1.5 feet in height and flip her until she can cover the entire 2x2 tent. We’ll see in the next weeks

Pollen was dropping like crazy as the male flowers got ripe and ready. The females got good and coated and fully pollinated. I harvested the males to collect and preserve the pollen. Some dried and I veiled it up. But the bulk majority is still drying up. I left just the bottom portion of the male kicking for some extra pollen well the females throw off. The diary will now begin to focus on the pollinated females. The journey to beans is well under way! Until next update. Happy growing and stay lit fam.

These girls are 5 days old under 16 w cfl. The one wrapped is only 2 days old in soil. The medium is a mix of mostly coco and some sohum soil. (Seeds are photoperiod) The T5 17w lights have definitely changed their behavior, they’re not shooting upwards in length no more. What do you guys think?

Ive been topping up with ro water since last weeks nutrient swap, which had gradually brought down the ppms from about 800 to 500. I pumped out the tank at the start of this week and replaced with ro water and final solution. Had to adjust the ph twice during the week and topped up with some more water. Planning on leaving the lights on for a couple more days then into darkness for 2-3 days and chop these ladies down. Flush seems to have gone well and can see the plants canabilising their leaves for the remaining nutrients

The phenotypes of the two plants now show another clear difference. The plant on the left has developed two equally large, beautiful main stems and is small and bushy, as I would expect from an OG Kush or an Indica. The plant on the right has put on another extreme stretch during flowering, as you would expect from a Sativa. I therefore had to tie off the two main stems to prevent them from suffering burns at the top of the lamp. The buds are now clearly visible. The odor has increased significantly and is already very pungent in the third week of flowering. We did not fertilize this week but only added 10g BioEnhancer from GreenHouse Feeding to 1 liter of water.
