En esta primera semana las mantenemos bien húmedas para su correcto desarrollo.

The plants are all doing well, unfortunately they are developed differently, in the future I will make a report per plant

last top for lollipops

Day 8 - Decided to put em in a diy dwc hydro setup till oxypots arrive.... initially was planning on soil pots and the roots are coming out the sides of the jiffy pots... so, 2L ice cream container, mix up 6.2 ph 500 ppm solution, cut a few jiffy sized holes .... blow bubbles in the water afew times a day.... lol Using abit of old Dutch Master Gold One Grow atm.... and i'll look at using some Nutrified elements grow, Crystalic, rock nitro, dutch master gold one grow/flower.... :) ice cream containers worked out perfect for jiffy... ....perfect for the seedling stage.... baby dwc for baby seedlings.... also gave me a chance to test out dwc....... i'll build this as i go... going to be a interesting grow for me.... 😎

Second week of flower, time to stretch! Im very happy with the outcome so far, it is without worry that some tops are in shadow. Enough tops to go around, have to wait until after stretch to lollipop! The lady all the way in the back, to the left, has either stunned growth or just slower than the other to go into stretch. However i will just play the waiting game, as i see no symptoms for a problem atm. Last watering was 15/10 👽👉17/10 VPD is set to 1.2, but because of the function of my dehumidifier, it range from 1.1-1.3. 👽👉18/10 Waterday* They are real thirsty First signs of pistils have shown! I upped my nutes from EC1.36 to EC1.66 BioHeaven 2ML/L BioGrow 1ml/L > 1.5 BioBloom 0.5ml/L >1.5 TopMax 0.5ml/L> 1 Calmag 0.3ml/L > 0.4 👽👉19/10 The ladies love it! Stretching and praying hands! 👽👉20/10 Impressed with the stretching. Not much to report, they just feeling the vibe. 👽👉21/10 Changed the lamp hanging system, to gain some more distance from light to canopy. 👽👉22/10 Thirsty ladies, but since i did not have time to water, i gave them 200ml each to survive another 24hours without feed. 👽👉23/10 Waterday* I upped my nutes from EC1.66 to EC1.77 added 1ML/L Rootjuice to this feed Bioheaven 2ML/L BioGrow 1.5 ML/L > 2 BioBloom 1.5ML/L TopMax 1ML/L Calmag 0.4ML/L Rootjuice 1ML/L

Not much to say this week, buds starting to dense up more now. Triple G back right yellowing need to keep eye on her weather she’s coming to end or some kind of deficiency, roughly a week or 2 before there down 🍁

I'm back with another update. I could'nt hard bend them alot because the stems got thicker, if i would had done that, branches would had snapped. On the other hand the shamans had their stretch(already 2 weeks into flowering) and will not go any bigger, maybe a bit but not that much. (As a reminder, i bend them alot because i don't want them to get higher then my balcony fench) So I only have to bend the critical kushes a little bit for a few weeks until they had their 2 weeks into flowering stretch. Hopefully i will get a nice cantopy again. I gave them a little bit more nutrients(ec 2) because when i checked my run-off, it was still on a lower level, saw some difiencies and yellow leafs. Indicating that they can have more nutrients. Update: Compare this week with last week and see the difference. By just giving them the propher love they need, they will get better! Next update will be the end of this week like always and i can tell you they are starting to look better. Also i have to keep remind myself that this is just a outside fun grow haha and not anything to serious because when i gave them only water today I checked the run-off and all plants had different levels of ph and ec, which for me is normal because i'm used to alot of plant at the same time and never cared about it(cost alot of energy and time), but with just having 4 plants, it is tempting to do something about it like making seperate feed buckets for every plant haha.

Week 14 (week 7 flower) Light settings 12/12 on at 9.00am off at 9.00pm Viparspectra Light power= 63% 150w VPD aim 1.0-1.6 DLI aim 35-40 Extractor settings temperature 24c with 0c steps Humidity 45% with 0% steps Max speed 10 Min speed 4 Monday 19/6/23 Day 92 (day 46 flower) Been warm again but a good few thunderstorms. VPD has been better. Tuesday 20/6/23 Day 93 (day 47 flower) Moved light more over the test strains at the front. #1 DLI=34.5 Wednesday 21/6/23 Day 94 (day 48 flower) 💧 Starts Autofeed at 10.00am-12.05pm, 8 runs (5,5,10,10,15,15,15,15 total 90 mins) 5 minute gaps. 12L 30 drops ph d Feed Ec=1.33 Ph=6.5 1.7L left Roughly 2L each Combined runoff 1.5L Ec=2.1ph=6.2💧 Defoliation.

Saturday 24/6/23 Day 97 (day 51 flower) Adjust drippers. 💧 Starts Autofeed at 10.00am-12.05pm, 8 runs (5,5,10,10,15,15,15,15 total 90 mins) 5 minute gaps. 13L 35 drops ph d Feed Ec=1.31 Ph=6.2/6.5 1.25L left Roughly 2.35L each Combined runoff 3L Ec=2.4 ph=6.0💧 Sunday 25/6/23 Day 98 (day 52 flower) #1 Height= 65CM Dist= 38CM DLI=34.0 The weather has caused another tough week for controlling environment. The grow is showing signs of heat stress but nothing to worry about. This tester is coming along nice. Becoming very frosty, I'm not sure how much more the flowers will bulk out but she is looking nice.

This week I added a scrog net and started guiding some of the branches through it. A few branches were already long enough to be bent and positioned under the net, while others still need a bit more growth before reaching it. From now on, the goal is to let the plant grow freely and focus on filling the net evenly before flipping to flower 🌿💪

29й день 12/12. Добавляю в питание Simplex Aroma Punch. Теперь питание поочередное. 10 литров с раствором 2А 2Б 1T.A. Мл на литр, после чего 10 литров с раствором 2А 2Б 1Aroma 0.5 mg. Мл на литр. Все вместе не даю, что бы не перегружать ЕС в корневой. Так же на этой стадии можно не заморачиваться и лить 2А 3Б, вообще так до конца можно лить и результат будет хорошим. Просто жопа ищет приключений. Убрал дальний красный. Увеличил световой день до 13 часов, добавил по полчаса в начале и в конце. Провел еще одну дефолиацию, убрал большинство крупных листьев и проредил листья снизу. После Aroma Punch, EC слива вырастает до 2.5к, но растиха не показывает проблем. Со следующей недели постепенно начинаю снижать питание. 29-35 день.

The purple Lemonade despite a very beautiful structure is a little worrying us because the flowers are swelling very slowly. We are afraid that they will remain small but it seems they are getting bigger so we wait a little longer to express ourselves even if the painta seems in excellent salu...

All things great with this Sweet girl 😚a bit more sun would be nice

Week 9! Day 65: 2L (pH6.8) + mild organic fertiliser from kitchen scraps. Remember the potato water I spoke of earlier? I blended it up with some ruined sweet peppers from the garden and some applecider vinegar & eggshell to give her one last, very diluted nutrient solution. This feed was aimed more at the soil than the plant. Bud bulking has come to a halt, she's fading. Nonetheless, I discovered some purple leaf edges on one of the buds in particular, I wonder if this might be related to nutrition or temperature.

one of the sturdiest Staples I have ever worked with and had the pleasure to work with.

Well been a very eventful season my friends the gorilla glue stolen so ya gone . The blue cheese stolen yah so happy lol . The Moby Dick was at seperate location so she is my only real good baby right now ..I have learned a lot this year and the loss of being robbed sucks so bad but what can you do ...I put in the plant I harvested today a unknown strain very tall buds were talking over and the smell is piney but not overly sticky weird . besides that I will watch the Moby Dick and hope for a big harvest from her cheers brothers and sisters keep watch ...

LSD — Week 12 12/12 from seed. Late flower. Full expression. Quiet hands, heavy flowers. This is the stage where the grow starts asking less from us — and more from our patience. By now, most of the work is already done. Structure is built. Feeding has done its job. Environment has stayed stable. Roots have carried the weight. And now the plant is doing what it was always meant to do: Finish. This is not the week for chasing numbers. Not the week for aggressive changes. Not the week for “fixing” what clearly isn’t broken. This is the week for restraint. For observation. For letting the plant complete the final chapter on its own terms. And LSD is doing exactly that. ⸻ Quick recap — how we got here This run was never about force. It was about rhythm. From the start, LSD showed what stable genetics + stable conditions can do when they’re allowed to work without interruption. No dramatic swings. No constant corrections. No overhandling. No chasing deficiencies that weren’t there. No feeding for ego. Just consistent inputs, controlled environment, steady root-zone conditions, and enough discipline to leave healthy plants alone. That’s what built this finish. Now, in week 12, we’re seeing the result of every quiet decision made weeks ago: * strong vertical structure * dense flower stacking * steady resin production * proper late-flower fade * increasing floral mass * and a plant that is still focused on ripening, not surviving That matters. Because this stage is no longer about growth. It is about conversion. The plant is no longer trying to become bigger. It is trying to become heavier, louder, stickier, and more chemically complete. And it shows. ⸻ Late flower, properly explained This is one of the most misunderstood stages in the cycle. To newer growers, this phase can look confusing. Leaves begin to fade. White hairs begin to darken. Growth appears slower. The plant drinks differently. Some leaves curl. Some flowers swell unevenly. The plant looks “older.” And that is exactly what should be happening. This is not decline. This is maturation. Late flower is the point where the plant shifts energy away from expansion and into completion. That means: * less vertical push * less fresh green growth * slower water demand * increased resin output * calyx swelling * terpene maturation * pistil oxidation * nutrient drawdown from stored reserves The plant is not slowing down because something is wrong. It is slowing down because it is finishing correctly. ⸻ Trichomes — what they are, and what they are not This is where the real story is now. Trichomes are not “frost.” They are not cosmetic sparkle. They are not just visual proof that a plant “looks strong.” And they are definitely not just sugar. Trichomes are glandular resin heads — microscopic biochemical factories built by the plant. Their job is protection. They exist to defend the flower from: * UV stress * heat * dehydration * pests * fungal pressure * environmental stress And inside those tiny resin glands is where the plant stores much of what we care about most: * cannabinoids * terpenes * flavonoids * volatile compounds * aromatic oils So when we say a plant is “getting frosty,” what we actually mean is: The plant is reaching peak resin production and chemical expression. That frost is chemistry made visible. And right now, LSD is deep in that phase. The resin is no longer just forming. It is maturing. That distinction matters. Early trichomes are mostly clear — immature, still developing, not yet fully expressed. Then they move cloudy/milky — peak cannabinoid development, strongest active expression. Then amber begins — oxidation, degradation, and chemical transition into later-stage ripeness. This is why trichomes matter more than pistils. More than fan leaves. More than fade. Because trichomes tell you what the flower is doing chemically — not just visually. And right now, these plants are no longer building resin. They are finishing it. ⸻ The “curl” in the leaves One of the easiest late-flower details to misread. At this stage, some sugar leaves begin to curl, claw, or fold inward around the flower. New growers often panic here. But in late flower, this is often not a feeding issue. It is not always heat. It is not automatically toxicity. Sometimes, very simply: There is just too much flower and too much resin sitting on too little leaf. At this point the plant is carrying weight, stacking density, and coating nearby leaf tissue in resin so heavily that those small leaves begin to tighten, curl, and fold into the flower. It is a late-stage pressure response. Part mechanical. Part environmental. Part genetic. Very often normal. Context matters. And in this context — dense tops, heavy trichome load, stable temps, no major stress signals — this reads like maturity, not trouble. ⸻ Pistils — why the white hairs are changing This is another classic late-flower marker. Those white hairs are pistils. Early on, they emerge bright white as the flower actively builds and reaches. As the flower matures, those pistils begin to: * darken * curl inward * oxidize * retract into swollen calyx tissue That change from white to orange/brown is not the plant “dying.” It is the flower aging into ripeness. Fresh white pistils usually signal active new flower development. Darkened pistils usually signal that part of the flower is maturing and beginning to finish. This is why late flower often shows both at once: * older pistils darkening * newer pistils still pushing That is normal. Flowers do not ripen all at once. They ripen in layers. And that’s exactly what we’re seeing now. ⸻ Feeding — why less is doing more This is the point where overfeeding does more harm than underfeeding. The plant no longer needs to be pushed. It needs to be allowed to finish. Right now the feed is still simple, controlled, and appropriate: * Pure Zym * Sugar Royal * CalMag Pro * Terra Bloom * Power Buds * Green Sensation Nothing excessive. Nothing chaotic. No late-game bottle collecting. No panic additives. Just enough to support: * final bulking * resin maturity * metabolic efficiency * clean finish That’s the right move here. And yes — next week is likely the point where feedings begin to step down or stop entirely. Not because the plant is starving. Because the plant is done demanding. That’s the difference. Late flower feeding is not about force-feeding weight. It is about supporting the final metabolic steps without leaving excess behind. The closer we get to harvest, the less the plant needs to be fed — and the more it needs to be left alone. ⸻ Environment — why nothing is changing This room is still stable. And stable is exactly what late flower wants. * 26°C day * 18°C night * 60% RH * ~21°C root zone * ~18°C solution * 12/12 unchanged * CO₂ stable * watering controlled And most importantly: The plants clearly like it. So we do not change what is working just because we are close to harvest. Late flower is not the time to start experimenting. Not the time to suddenly drop temperatures. Not the time to force stress. Not the time to chase color. Not the time to “improve” a stable room. Consistency is what got the plants here. Consistency is what finishes them properly. ⸻ Weight gain — where the real growth is now The plant is not stretching anymore. But it is absolutely still growing. Just differently. This is density growth now. Mass growth. Calyx stacking. Internal swelling. Resin thickening. Water redistribution. Final weight. This is where flowers stop looking bigger every day — but start feeling heavier every day. That is late flower. Less visible movement. More invisible gain. And this is where growers who harvest too early lose the most. Not because the plant looked unfinished. Because the final weight had not landed yet. That weight is landing now. ⸻ What to expect next week Next week is likely transition week. Not dramatic. Not aggressive. Just the beginning of the final slowdown. Expect: * less water demand * slower daily movement * more pistil darkening * more calyx swelling * heavier tops * continued fade * trichomes shifting deeper into maturity * feed reduction or full stop approaching This is the point where observation becomes more important than intervention. The job next week is simple: Watch closely. Touch less. Finish clean. ⸻ Final thoughts This is one of the most beautiful parts of the cycle. Not because it is explosive. Because it is precise. This is where good structure becomes good flower. Where patience becomes weight. Where resin becomes chemistry. Where restraint becomes quality. LSD is no longer trying to impress. It is trying to finish. And it is doing that exactly right.

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.
