Loading... Jah Bless

Look at these ladies!!! Things are pollinating.... pistils are growing... Hairs are changing.... Crystals are forming.... So many beautiful things are happening here and I f****** love it!!! I can't wait to show all you guys and the source of all the seeds @Seedsman the result of all this. I've had great results with the last auto cross and then I crossed auto strawberry cheesecake from @Seedsman and so far everything has turned out amazing. I've gotten from many seeds suppliers and have been let down numerous times. These guys here are on top of everything. You have a problem and they fix it if not that day the next. Amazing people.

# The Frozen Archive #1 ❄️📚 ## First Steps Into Ice & Water Extraction | Unboxing, First Washes & New Beginnings Hello GrowDiaries family! 👋❄️🌱 Welcome to the very first entry of a new series that I have wanted to start for a long time. Today we begin The Frozen Archive. This series will follow our journey through fresh frozen material, ice & water extraction, solventless concentrates, curing experiments, storage methods, and everything that happens between harvest and the final product. The goal is simple: To create an honest archive that allows both the community and myself to follow the evolution of these extractions over time. Some entries will focus on specific genetics. Others will focus on techniques, equipment, observations, and experiments. This first entry is all about beginnings. And like many beginnings, it starts with learning. --- ## A Huge Thank You To Zamnesia Before anything else, a huge thank you to Zamnesia for providing the Bubbleator machine and for making this new chapter possible. The machine arrived extremely well packaged and protected. Everything inside the box was carefully wrapped and secured, ensuring that every component arrived in perfect condition. Alongside the machine were accessories, filtration bags, instructions, and everything required to begin exploring the world of machine-assisted ice & water extraction. As someone who has performed hand washes in the past but never worked with a machine like this before, I was genuinely excited to finally put it to work. This is my first documented experience using a Bubbleator. There will be successes. There will be mistakes. There will be lessons. And all of them will become part of this archive. --- ## What Is Fresh Frozen? Before we begin the extraction process itself, it is important to explain what fresh frozen material actually is. Instead of drying and curing the flowers after harvest, the material is frozen immediately after being processed. This helps preserve many of the volatile compounds that can be lost during drying and curing. The goal is to capture the plant as close as possible to its living state. In this case, the material being used comes from the previous run, which many of you have already followed through harvest. Throughout those diaries I intentionally collected and preserved material specifically for these future extractions. Today, that material finally leaves the freezer. --- ## What Is Ice & Water Extraction? Ice & water extraction is one of the most traditional solventless extraction methods available. The concept is beautifully simple. Cold temperatures make the trichome heads brittle. Gentle agitation helps separate those trichomes from the plant material. The resulting mixture is then filtered through a series of micron screens which allow the resin glands to be collected while removing unwanted plant matter. No chemical solvents. No hydrocarbons. No shortcuts. Just ice. Water. Movement. Patience. And trichomes. --- ## The First Wash With the machine prepared, the process could begin. Ice was added. Fresh frozen material was loaded into the 220-micron work bag. More ice was placed on top. Cold water was added. And then the waiting began. Watching the machine start spinning for the first time was exciting. The water slowly changed color as resin and plant material began moving through the system. Temperatures remained extremely cold, hovering around freezing conditions and helping maintain the ideal environment for extraction. This was the first true wash performed with the Bubbleator. Not only were we processing material. We were learning the machine itself. Learning timing. Learning technique. Learning observations. And documenting every step. --- ## Collecting The Resin Once the wash cycle was complete, the water was drained and passed through the filtration system. This is where the magic starts becoming visible. The trichomes that had previously been attached to the flowers now began collecting inside the filtration bags. Seeing those first collections appear is one of those moments that never gets old. The resin was carefully gathered and prepared for drying. Even at this early stage it was already obvious that the material held incredible potential. --- ## Drying & Preparing The Hash After collection, the resin was gently broken apart into smaller pieces to increase surface area and encourage proper drying. Drying remains one of the most important stages of the process. Rushing this step can compromise months of work. Patience here is rewarded later. While the first collections dried, additional washes continued, allowing the extraction process to move forward while the earlier material slowly prepared for its next stage. --- ## Temple Ball Experiments Once properly dried, part of the collected resin was worked into a traditional temple ball. This is one of the oldest and most beautiful forms of hash preservation. Heat. Pressure. Patience. And resin. Nothing more. The resulting temple ball displayed beautiful characteristics. Excellent texture. Wonderful aroma. A clean melt. Beautiful bubbling behavior. And the unmistakable appearance that makes handcrafted temple balls so special. Watching it transform from loose resin into a unified sphere felt almost like watching the extraction complete its final step. --- ## A Second Wash & A Different Approach The second material was processed using the same extraction methodology. Ice. Water. Agitation. Filtration. Collection. Drying. However, this time a different preservation method was chosen. Instead of forming a temple ball, the dried resin was left loose and placed inside a vacuum-sealed bag. All possible air was removed. The goal now is long-term observation. How does this material evolve? How does the aroma change? How does the texture develop? How does it compare to the temple ball? Those questions will be answered in future entries. --- ## This Is Only The Beginning Although this report marks the end of the first extraction session, it is far from the end of the story. The temple ball now begins its cure. The vacuum-sealed resin begins its cure. Additional fresh frozen material remains waiting. More washes are coming. More genetics are coming. More lessons are coming. And every step will become part of The Frozen Archive. For now, this first chapter closes with gratitude. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Bubbleator machine, the genetics, and the opportunity to explore this side of cultivation. Thank you to everyone following along and supporting these projects. And thank you to the plants themselves. Months ago they were seeds. Today they continue teaching us in entirely new forms. Grower's Love everyone. 🌱💚❄️ The Frozen Archive has officially beg P.S. A special thank you to Plagron for supporting this entire cultivation from start to finish. From the very first watering to the final harvest, drying, freezing, and extraction stages, every plant involved in this project was grown using the Plagron lineup, including Terra Grow, Terra Bloom, Pure Zym, CalMag Pro, Power Buds, Power Roots, and Green Sensation. As always, this is not about claiming that any product creates magic on its own. Healthy plants are the result of genetics, environment, nutrition, observation, patience, and consistency all working together. Still, after following these plants from seed to harvest and now into the extraction stage, I believe credit should be given where credit is due. These flowers, the fresh frozen material, and now the resin itself were all produced under the Plagron feeding program, and I am grateful for their support throughout the journey. Grower's Love. 🌱💚

Looking well so far. Will update properly when I have more time

As expected, the girl grows well, the flowers enlarge, the resin appears and the girl smells wonderful. I'm running it all the time, she still has plenty of time. 😉

5/31 Week 10 and the state of the grow is winding up I know Baba looks like hell, her buds are in danger of breaking some of the branches so I have everything kind of falling in on itself supported by bamboo. Harvest Sally and Athena yesterday leaving only Jane Baba and Cleo (my wife's) in the tent so turning down the lights a bit they are getting plenty Water only not much to do till harvest 6/3 Just nothing going on, giving them water Baba seems done now little further hair growth or bulking, harvest in a day or so, real busy with other projects so no promises 6/4 Yield from Sally and Athena wet - 650 grams dry - 151 grams about 5 oz, so with Baba still left to harvest looks like we good for an holiday season grow of this strain next winter. Cannot believe how thick the trics are on these two and the one left is even more frosty. Baba harvest tomorrow not sure about the twin 6/5 Harvest day for Baba only Jane remains Baba wet - 533 grams Running totals so far : Wet - 1188 grams Dry - 151 grams (expect to double this) Looks like we almost matched our numbers on the first two plants as expected. Prob a good 10 ounces on the grow not great but a good grow none the less with 8 months of medicine so this strain is on the schedule for November. Harvest report on Jane harvest , may be a few days she still making bud

Weeks 15 - It’s Ready - The 1st Gorilla Glue Is Ready To Be Havrest, I Gave It 3 Weeks Of Flushing And The Trichomes Of The Top Heads Are Most Cloudy With A Few Clear And A Little Amber Trichomes And The Bottom Buds Are Mostly Cloudy With A Few Clear And The Sceny Is Still At It’s Peak But You could Tell It Was About To Head Over The Morning And Start To Take A Downright Spiral I Will Be Hanging It To Dry For 7-9 Days At A Temperature Of 70 Degrees and 60% Humidity. The Slower It Dries The Better.

This week was really great except for some weather problem, cold is came a little bit earlier and i m still fixing something in the grow box. Roots are really large and strenght. Flowering started exactly in the 28 day. Let's go!

Been a little behind on updating this diary sorry, decided to go ahead and throw this lady in the flower tent as well to make room in the Veg tent! Can’t wait to see how this looks at harvest! Thanks for following friends & happy growing!✌️🏼🤙🏼🌱

🌱 Start: 17.07. 🌱 Hello everyone! This is my very first grow and I'm thrilled to share every step with you! 🎉 I'd appreciate any tips you might have to help me achieve the best results! 😊 Equipment: I've geared up with an Indoor Grow Kit from MarsHydro along with some BioBizz supplements to ensure my plants get the best care. 🌿 🌼 Seeds: I opted for Fast Buds seeds after hearing great things about them. They were delivered super fast—just two days! I’m particularly excited to test the Grapefruit strain. 🚀 I've begun soaking the seeds and setting up my space. Eagerly awaiting the transition to the next stage in a day or two! 🌱 📅 Update: 19.07. My Grapefruit seeds sprouted 1-2 cm within just 1.5 days! 🌱 It’s often recommended that autoflowers be planted directly into their final home, so I'm following that advice. I'm working on improving the air circulation in my tent to ensure the best environment for growth. 🌬️ I'm currently using 0.2L cups with big holes over the sprouts to maintain higher humidity during their initial two weeks. 💧 🎉 UPDATE 22.07. - THEY ARE ALIVE 🎉 My Grapefruit sprouted on 20.07., and I'm overjoyed to soon share photos and a video of my little green buddy! 📸🎥 PS: My plant enjoys 2 hours of chill jazz music every day! HAHA 🎷🎶

start of week 2 veg, i put an aquarium heater in my res to keep the temp 21 celcius also added an extra airpump in the res with the waterpump roots are already in the water i used CFL so far i might hang my led above them now

continuamos la semana apunto ya del final del ciclo de estas maravillosas geneticas, ya hemos cortado una fruit gum y esperamos a que se seque para hacer una cata

She’s ready for her new phase. Just placed them under 12/12 cycle. No Mr. Bee’s green Trees Bloom. I’m going Buildasoil. buildabloom 2-10-5 and single top dress this round.

Hey everyone ☺️. It gets more beautiful from week to week 😍👍. I have them all this week Sprayed again properly with neem oil in the veggie phase ☺️. There have been no trips for 2 weeks, but prevention is better 😀. Because of the neem oil, the plants look very dark and shiny, which I really like when they shimmer like that 😝. I didn't do any training these days, that will be done again the next few days 👌. it was watered twice this week with around 0.6 l per plant. The Ph / Ec measuring device was also recalibrated. Otherwise there is nothing to report for this week and we'll see you again with the next update ☺️👍. I wish you and your families a Merry Christmas 😊.
