Hi Gromie's, well it's the end of another problem free week! Week 9 going into week 10 of veg! I don't usually veg for this long but I'm just trying to get the timing right for perpetual harvest. Plants in flowering tent were harvested & drying now for 5 days, so these girls will be transferred to the flowering tent in the next few days for the start of flowering, I've allready planted new seeds for the following grow, so just trying to get on top of the timing for everything related with perpetual growing. Thinking of setting up a 4x2 tent with a 4 inch extraction fan & filter for drying, so I can cut out around a week, that way as soon as I've harvested & cleaned the tent I can transfer plants from veg instead of having to dry in the flowering tent. Have developed really strong & thick structure's from the H.S.T & L.S.T training. Plants are nice & healthy. Performed 1 last defoliation before they go to flower as they get very bushy quickly.

The girls are stretching nicely. Noticing more vigorous growth with the AutoPots. The timer is the issue with the EasyFeed. I'm trying 1 min every 3 hours, but then I have to be sure to turn it off at lights out. An 8 hour schedule would be great, but 1 min on isn't enough and 3 mins on is too much. Because the timer is battery operated, a secondary time cannot be added. I really like the system and am trying hard to dial it in. I think allowing to dryback could be superior over the AP system, but if I'm unable to prove it, who cares. I've experienced plant #2 being unhappy due to under/over feed8ng twice this week.

Start Woche 7 Blüte. Heute gab's für beide nochmals 2l Wasser mit 20ml/l GreenBull. (die 20g BioBloom warn wohl etwas zu viel. An beiden etwas verbrannte Spitzen🙄 🙄) Sonst heißt es warten. Buds schwellen langsam an und die beiden fangen an leicht zu faden. Bis auf den einen Trieb letzte Woche an #1 auch keine weiteren pollensäcke zu finden🤞 🤞 🤞

Possibly this is your last week with only water to eliminate excess mineral salts. The appearance of the buds is great, covered in resin and quite hard, almost like stone.Does anyone have any tips for making some live rosin?

Welcome to my new diary! I'll be chronicling my experience growing Runtz photoperiod by Zamnesia. This is actually a grow I just finished, but I'm excited to share the journey with you now. As always I'll grow in a DWC system, this time in a 2x2 grow tent. To manage the environment, I'm using a Vents TT100 for air extraction and an Hailea air pump to keep the 20-liter DWC pot well-oxygenated. That 20-liter capacity should be enough to let the plant cruise for a few days without needing a refill, even when it's deep into the flowering stage. Lighting will be provided by a 150 watt lamp, which I'll run on an 18/6 schedule during veg and switch to 12/12 for flowering. As for nutrients, I'll be using the Plagron hydro line. To keep a really close eye on all the critical parameters like temperature, RH, CO2, PH, and PPFD, I'm relying on my Tent-X system by TrolMaster. It's a fantastic piece of kit that allows me to control and dim the light remotely, also includes a smoke detector. 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱 GROW JOURNAL 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱 🗓️ WEEK 1 (veg) 🔙 Kicking things off, I prepared all the materials. The clay pebbles received a 20-minute boil followed by a 24-hour soak in demineralized water adjusted to pH 5.8. I gave the air stones a 24-hour bath in a water and vinegar solution, rinsing them thoroughly afterward. The root riot cube also soaked for a few hours in water at pH 5.8. 🌱 With preparations complete, I placed the seed into the root-riot cube on day 1, nestled it in the net-pot, and surrounded it with clay pebbles. The light was set to an 18/6 cycle, positioned 50 cm away, and running at 50 watts. I hand-watered the seedling with approximately 5 ml of demineralized water directly onto the clay twice daily, while the DWC reservoir below held 20 liters of a light nutrient solution: EC 0.6 - pH 5.8. On day 4, the seedling emerged and was exposed to the grow light for the first time. Concluding a successful first week, by day 7, it had already pushed several roots out of the net pot and down into the nutrient solution.

Paramahansa Yogananda taught us how to heal anxiety and depression with these three powerful affirmations from his book back in 1924: "I relax and cast aside all mental burdens, allowing god to express through me his perfect love, peace, and wisdom." "I will, with my own will, which flows from the divine will, be calm and patient under all circumstances." "I am submerged in eternal light; it permeates every particle of my being. I am living in that light, the divine spirit fills me within and without." All light stems out from darkness. Darkness can only exist in the absence of light. Where there is light, there are shadows. Shadows require light to exist. A shadow is a reduction of light, not a total absence. "Shadow"—the hidden, unconscious, or repressed aspects of the self—must be acknowledged and integrated into the conscious mind ("the light") to achieve psychological wholeness and prevent destructive outbursts. Rather than erasing the darkness, the goal is to reveal it and bring it into the light, thereby preventing it from consuming the personality. Very few make it through awakening without becoming a monster themselves. Every individual harbors a repressed, uncivilized, or dark side—regardless of how moral or virtuous they believe themselves to be. The belief that this darkness is absent in oneself is a form of dangerous ignorance that leads to "shadow projection," where one denies their own flaws and projects them onto others. "Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate," highlighting that confronting this inner darkness is essential for psychological maturity and avoiding personal demise. All things exist as energy. We are vessels that utilize chemical energy and experience it through emotions. We are biological machines fueled by ATP (adenosine triphosphate). Emotions, e-motion, energy in motion, where you apply your thoughts, words, and action, is where you apply your energy, where focus goes, energy flows. Everything that was ever invented was first observed. The critical role of observation in the innovation process, where natural phenomena, patterns, or accidents provide the foundational idea for a new creation. Many foundational technologies were derived from direct observation of nature or physical processes. The Heisenberg observer effect describes how the act of measuring or observing a quantum system inevitably disturbs it, altering its state. The observer effect is often misconstrued to mean that human "consciousness" affects reality; however, in physics, it refers to the physical interaction of measurement tools (detectors) with the system. It is often confused with the, but distinct from, the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle applied to electromagnetism dictates that the electric (E) and magnetic (H) fields cannot be simultaneously measured with absolute precision, with an uncertainty relation of for a spatial volume. This fundamental limit means electromagnetic waves possess intrinsic quantum, non-classical, and fluctuating natures. The K radiation and quantum mystery of potassium refers to the fascinating, naturally occurring radioactivity of Potassium-40 (K) and the, until recently, poorly understood, rare quantum decay mechanisms that make it a significant, quiet, and sometimes mysterious participant in both biological and geological processes. 1. The Radiation: Potassium-K40 While potassium is essential for life, a tiny fraction of all natural potassium (0.017%) of all pottasium is the radioactive isotope K40. With a half-life of 1.25 billion years, it is a "primordial" radionuclide (present since the Earth's formation). Because potassium is abundant in the human body (muscles), we are all walking sources of weak radiation, often measured by "banana equivalent dose." K is unique because it decays via three distinct routes, creating a "triple" radioactive mystery: Beta Decay (89.6%): Decays into Calcium-40 (Ca), releasing a fast electron (beta particle). Electron Capture (EC) (10.3%): Decays into Argon-40, emitting a high-energy 1.46 MeV Gamma Ray. Positron Emission (0.001%): Decays into Argon-40 (Ar), emitting a positron (antimatter). 2. The "Quantum Mysteries" The mystery of potassium isn't just that it is radioactive; it's how it decays and what that implies for the universe. A. The Missing Decay Pathway (KDK Experiment). Until very recently, one specific path—electron capture directly to the ground state of Argon-40—had never been directly measured, making it an "unknown background" in dark matter searches. The KDK Collaboration (Potassium Decay): Experiments at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (2017-2023) finally measured this, helping scientists refine the age of the Earth and improving precision for detector simulations in particle physics. B. The "Spin-Forbidden" Long Life K has a surprisingly long half-life (billion years) for a positron emitter. The quantum reason is that the decay requires a massive change in nuclear spin (from 4 down to 0), a "spin-forbidden" transition that makes the decay highly unlikely, thus slowing it down. C. The "Mysterious" Heat Source For decades. Scientists debated whether K was a major radioactive heat source inside the Earth's core. New high-pressure/high-temperature experiments suggest it can dissolve in iron, making it a significant, long-term heat producer in the core of Earth (and Mars), affecting planetary magnetism. D. Quantum Biology/Biology Mystery. Because K is a major source of internal potassium radiation, there is emerging research regarding its impact on DNA damage, metabolic regulation, and the "bio-photons" emitted by living systems. E. Ultracold Potassium and Quantum Gases.In laboratories, researchers use potassium (K39, K40, K41) to create "degenerate quantum gases" to study exotic states of matter, such as superfluids, which are used to simulate quantum behavior in solids. In short, the potassium 40 isotope is a tiny, ancient, quantum-mechanical time bomb, slowly releasing energy from the birth of the solar system, making it essential for geological dating, a nuisance for dark-matter hunters, and a subtle factor in our own biology.

LSD Zamnesia Tripping 🙂 | Final Report — Cure, Smoke Review & Closing The Chapter Well… Here we are. The final chapter of this LSD journey. And honestly, after everything: * from seed, * to flower, * to harvest, * to drying, * to trimming, * to washing, * to temple balls, * to curing, * to finally sitting down peacefully and actually enjoying the medicine… …I can honestly say this run became something much bigger than just “growing weed.” This became a full experience. A full learning process. A full journey. And before diving into the smoke review itself, let’s do one final recap for everyone arriving here for the first time. These girls were grown under 12/12 from seed from the very beginning. No long vegetative stage. Very little training. Almost no aggressive manipulation. Mostly allowing the genetics to express themselves naturally while we simply guided the environment around them. And throughout the entire run, these plants surprised us constantly. Huge central flower development. Massive stacking. Incredible resin production. Beautiful terpene expression. And honestly… some very unexpected structure for indica-leaning genetics. This harvest was divided across several reports because there was simply too much happening to compress everything into one single update. We wanted to properly document: * harvest, * drying, * trimming, * curing, * fresh frozen preparation, * washing, * temple ball production, * extraction evolution, * and finally the smoke review itself. GrowDiaries limits the amount of files we can upload per update, so instead of rushing through everything quickly, we decided to slow down and explain the process properly week by week. And honestly? I’m very happy we did. Because now we can finally close this chapter understanding not only how these girls grew… …but how they evolved. And evolution is honestly the perfect word here. The flowers themselves cured for well over a month, some even approaching two months now. And during that time, the transformation became beautiful. The aroma deepened. The sharp greener notes disappeared. The smoke softened dramatically. And the terpene profile became something honestly very difficult to describe perfectly with words. To me personally? This smells like: * earthy sourness, * soft skunk, * herbal spice, * and a gentle diesel layer hiding underneath everything. Not aggressive diesel. Not overpowering fuel. More like an old-school soft diesel wrapped inside earthy sweetness and skunky herbal notes. And somehow… despite not being truly sweet… it still feels sweet. One of those terpene profiles that almost tricks your brain. The smoke itself became incredibly smooth. Very soft inhale. Very soft exhale. Dense smoke without becoming harsh. And one thing I really appreciated: the inhale and exhale remain surprisingly similar. Sometimes flowers smell incredible in the jar but lose complexity during combustion. This one did not. The flavor stays present throughout the entire experience. Now about the effects… Despite the name LSD, I personally would not describe this as psychedelic medicine. At least not in the “seeing colors and melting walls” kind of way 😄 To me, this is euphoric medicine. Social medicine. Happy medicine. The kind that: * makes conversations flow, * makes music feel warmer, * makes nature feel beautiful, * makes food taste amazing, * makes you laugh more, * makes you relax without disconnecting from yourself. This is the kind of medicine I would happily enjoy: * during a beach walk, * with friends at dinner, * during a peaceful afternoon, * listening to music, * creating art, * talking for hours, * or simply enjoying life slowly. Very balanced. Relaxing without becoming sedative. Strong without becoming overwhelming. And honestly? Very emotionally comfortable medicine. No paranoia. No anxiety. No mental heaviness. No unpleasant race. Just calm, warm, euphoric relaxation. A really beautiful balance. Now let’s talk about the extraction side of this run… Because these girls absolutely shined there too. And honestly? They washed beautifully. The fresh frozen material produced incredible resin quality and gave us one of the most satisfying parts of this entire journey. Everything regarding: * freezing, * washing, * ice water extraction, * collection, * freeze drying, * pressing, * temple ball formation, * and curing… was explained in detail in previous reports for anyone curious about the full process. But now that some curing time has passed… something magical started happening. The temple balls evolved. And this is where hash becomes truly fascinating. The hash you are seeing now looks completely different from the fresh temple balls shown previously because the compounds inside are evolving over time. And that evolution is natural. At first, freshly pressed hash is often: * smoother, * more uniform, * more elastic, * sometimes shinier. But during curing: * oils begin migrating, * terpene fractions separate and recombine, * cannabinoids continue evolving, * moisture stabilizes, * oxidation slowly changes color and texture, * crystalline structures begin appearing, * and the entire resin starts transforming internally. That sandy crystalline texture appearing inside the cured hash? That is part of the evolution process. And honestly… it is beautiful to observe. The hash almost begins looking alive. Changing week after week. Softening internally while crystallizing externally in some areas. Developing complexity. Developing depth. Developing personality. This is why traditional hash makers allow temple balls to age for months or even years. Good hash is not rushed. And the smoke? Absolutely beautiful. The small sample we opened after roughly 15–20 days of curing already showed: * full melt behavior, * deep flavor, * rich oily smoke, * long-lasting taste, * and incredibly smooth combustion. The rest now remains vacuum sealed for long-term aging. And honestly? I cannot wait to revisit it months from now. Final dry flower numbers for the LSD girls: * 287g dry flower * 107.3g dry flower Final total: 🌱 394.3 grams dry flower And that does not even include: * the fresh frozen extraction material, * temple balls, * finger hash, * trim-bin collection, * or future cured resin evolution. For a 12/12-from-seed run with minimal intervention… I’m honestly very happy with these results. We also have to talk about Grove Bags for a moment because they genuinely made curing extremely easy and consistent during this process. For anyone unfamiliar: Grove Bags are designed to help stabilize humidity exchange naturally while reducing the need for constant burping and jar management. Do they replace proper drying? Absolutely not. Nothing replaces a proper dry. But once the flowers are dried correctly, they help maintain an incredibly stable curing environment with much less stress and handling. And honestly? For larger harvests especially, they become incredibly practical. Now… before closing this chapter completely… Thank you. To Zamnesia for the genetics, the Bubbleator, the support, and the trust. To Plagron. To F.O.G. To the LEDs. To Grove Bags. To the gear involved. To GrowDiaries. To the entire community. To the longtime followers and OGs. To the new curious visitors. To the supporters. To the skeptics. To the silent viewers. To the people who stayed since the beginning. To the people who discovered this journey halfway through. To the lovers. And yes… even the haters 😄 If someone spent even a few moments here sharing this experience with us, then they deserve gratitude too. And of course… special thanks to Mr. Baggy for staying with us through every single stage of the madness 😄 From trimming sessions… to washing… to temple balls… to studio chaos… to hash curing… the fluffy supervisor never abandoned his post. And even though this chapter closes here… the journey itself continues. We may return months from now to revisit the cured hash evolution and see how time transforms it further. And meanwhile? New runs are already beginning. New genetics. New experiments. New lessons. New mistakes. New beautiful moments. So if anyone enjoyed this journey… You are always welcome here.

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.

Still vegging strong! Haha they are about the size I want before I flip. One of the center plants was a late germination and is a week behind I was trying to let it catch up in height and let it stretch out a bit more before I flipped but I’m getting close to just doing it. They are all really full and honestly massive haha it’s not usually my style to just let them grow and not do any defoliation but hey trying something new. I will at some point thin them out a bit. I will do a bit of bottom lollipoping before I flip for sure just to help with access for watering later on. Not much else to report, thanks for stopping by snd as always 🍻

420 Fastbuds Gelato Auto Week 4 Hello fellow growmie's this week has been awesome for growth. I would say the two girls probably grown 6in in the past week and recovered very well from the mild defoliation I did a week prior. I still only feed just 2 liters of well water daily and they both show no signs of any nute deficiencies. It still has been super hot with Temps in the high 90's but over all keeping plenty of air movement seems to be working good. All in all Happy Growing.

These plants are looking soooo much better, their color is starting to improve.. These Kritial-K are my absolute favorite in the tent, once this grow is over we may buy sevral packs of this.. they're easy, forgiving and look to be massive producers with a little training.. Verdict is still out on smoke quality but if its anything like our last Kannabia strains, its prob a winner.. The Solux is at 75$/14" and im starting to wonder if we'll even need to turn it to 100%.. they're getting more than enough light like this but we may increase power for the last 3-4 weeks of flower (a light meter would be a great one day lol).. not too much else to report, I think we're in for smooth sailing until harvest at this point.. thanks as always for checking us out and happy harvests everyone!!! ⚡Hortibloom/Solux 350⚡ Specifications ⚙️: Diodes: Samsung LM281 Pro / Osram DR (1,440 total)💡 Driver: Inventronics 350 watt🔌 PPF: 1015 μmol/s ☢️ PPE: 2.9 µmol/j 〰️〰️ Lifespan: 50k+ hrs ⌛ Weight: 14.3lbs lbs (6.5kg) Veg Coverage: 5 x 5 ft 🌱 Flowering Coverage: 4 x 4 ft 🌼 -Uses an aluminum heatsink (no fan), quiet while operating 👂⬇️ -IP65 waterproof ratings, tolerant to high humidity grow environments 💦 -May be daisy-chained via RJ14 and managed from a single controller 💡~💡~💡~💡~💡 🌎 https://hortibloom.com/products/solux-350-led-grow-light ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_

COntinued to apply small amounts of pressure with LST but aside from that, letting her do her thing. Had to leave her for a few days and she got dehydrated, after a feed she perked up again but she's now started sucking all the nutes out of her lower growth. She has a lot so I'm hoping it doesn't affect the harvest. Would have preferred this to begin with my flush. For more content on all my grows please check out my Instagram! Link is on my profile!

I am pleasantly surprised with this grow. This is my second time growing Cream Cookies and my yields have increased by 400%. Cream Cookies #2 was the heaviest yielder coming in at 224.04 grams wet. Coming in at almost a quarter POUND for one plant just makes me grin from ear to ear. Im so extremely happy with how ive been taking care of them. It seems that proper and methodical defoliation is the key to massive yields. Cutting fan leaves which block out a significant portion of the available light to the lower and developing bud sites proved to be a great choice. The plants look a little 'skinny' after defoliation, but the newly exposed bud sites explode into the canopy. Im just so very happy with how everything went. Haven't smoked yet its curing now, will update in two weeks!

May 27th-29th Trellis net is getting full and plants looked good, could’ve flipped to 12/12 but my smart self completely forgot about that flowering stretch so I vegged them till I saw a “good height” lmao I know but it’s my first grow leave me alone lol

These girls sprouted and then had no light for 2 and a half days, so a little leggy. Put them under 25% power LED to see how they respond will increase as needed over next few days, to 100% blue spectrum.. The genetics are either, selfed (G T H), or stray Skywalker that also selfed.. Soo a selfed GTH or sky ghost train. I think I like the possibilities.🙏 03/27/2018 Day 6, 100% blue spectrum, 25% red, perking up watered.
