Gave her a nice LST+Defoliation session after the week 1 of flower stretch! She's currently drinking a 1 gallon dosage of the above listed nutes, every 4-5 days!

Hello everyone here is another week and at first glance everything seems to be going well ... rather happy with the result but remains to see more ... here I started rinsing on the bottom plants and the others next week ... now place to photos ...

Big growth, shooting 11s

4/4/2022 After being gone for 2 weeks on a vacation with the family! I came home to an out of control jungle! These girls exploded with growth! I had to do a heavy defoliation and lollipop! I turned the light to 80% and it’s about 26 inches away from the top of the tallest plant.

Ya esta en su tercera semana de floracio y las flores ya se empezaron a formar , ha crecido muy rapido con una buena estrucctura y aroma muy dulce

Starting strong

Just notice that one of the fan leaves that I put a small LST clip on has snapped off. Thinking that I may be better off sticking to the large clips removed a few of the LST clips and tied down branches with garden wire. I think this may be the better solution. Accidentally used 1 tsp for Bloom instead of 1/2 tsp. 5ml should be fine for a large plant, hopefully no nute burn as a result. So far she seems to be loving the extra nutes. Plants appear to have loved the 5ml of Bloom. No signs of burn this morning. Did some defoliation today to try and remove large leaves that were blocking light to bud sites

More heavy defoliation more pony railing tops as they grow out . Before there were 11 tops tied now there were 18 tops tied . Overall she probably looks the exact same as 4 weeks ago but she has been doing a lot of leg work for the the grow to come . I’m still waiting to see these top dressed nutes start becoming available to her . I’m also curious to see what response , if any, she gives to the worm castings I topped dressed her with . She’ll be going to a 6 gal pot in about 3-3&1/2 once it’s time to feed her again . At the exact End of this week I’ve just untied all her tops . Give us a like .

Almost ready to harvest (Day 53) The are labled with 55-65 days of flowering Started to only give water with calmag from day 51 Smells are really nice

Room setup rundown, examples of bud, et al in pictures... Some minor tweaks since these pictures were taken Seedlings/Clones lights - Viparspectra XS1500 x1 Vege lights - DIY 630umol/s PAR x3 Flower Lights - 650w 3400K 1900umol/s PAR x2 Substrate - 50/50 sphagnum peat moss and vermiculite in 5-gallon pots Climate Control - Luckily, the lights, winter and normal furnace use all equate to a decent temperature. A humidifier is needed early and later a dehumidifier is needed The last 4-5 weeks of flower phase. Irrigation - I use 6 pressure compensating emitters per 5-gallon pot.. Basic process - 16/8 vege and 12/12 ligth schedule - Updated 2026 Sow up to 2x as many seeds as needed. These sit in a 1020 tray under the xs1500 until potting up to 1-gallons. After potting up, a couple 226-watt DIY lights are turned on to cover entire 4x4 area. Everything is hand-watered up to this point. Weak plants are removed as needed to get down to 8 plants that will go into final pots. This takes just over 3 weeks. Once in the 5-gallon pots (slightly under-filled), they move to the 4x8 platform under two 650w lights running at 60% and a slightly closer hanging distance than normal for a minimum of 10 days before flip to flower - usually ~14. Some light training with scrog to get the canopy level and allow 10-12 future vertical branches per plant to space out a bit. Cuttings for any feminized breeding cycles are taken after 30-35 days. Some light pruning of lower growth occurs. Flip to flower is generally 35-38 days after sprouting, but the second grow cycle can sometimes be delayed by the first. After flip to flower, lights set to 100% with normal hanging distance, and fertilizer concentration is reduced. Now, the vertically growing 10-12 branches per plant are spaced out the last few inches with minimal training. The scrog provides the anchor. If necesary, some minimal pruning is employed to avoid future congestion. Some pruning is inevitable, but the goal is not to waste time and resources on growth that is not producing fruit. Average and better plants will be 180-250+ grams. Weak plants will fall short of that. Even culling the weak early on in vege will result in 1-2 weak plants per crop, on average. Drying / Curing - Into mesh racks for 10-14 days. I wet trim and cut down to similarly sized buds for even drying. Temps are controlled around 65F and RH is controlled at 57-60%. Then, into some 5-gallon buckets with gamma seal lids and (3) 2-way 67g boveda humidipaks (58% or 62%) in each bucket. These are burped until moisutre levels are confidently at equilibrium. Once i figure out what I prefer to smoke, large portions of both harvests will be vacuum sealed - still kept in the sealed, rh-controlled 5-gallon buckets. Only cut open a couple at a time to keep everything fresh throughout the year. Cost - 0.33 cents (USD) per gram produced. This includes an accelerated depreciation expense for all equipment used, fertilizer, water, electricity for all equipment used, new filters and other yearly purchases - bti, ph strips, sticky traps, etc. I'm a finance guy, so these numbers are comprehensively accurate and purposely err slightly on high side of cost. The only facet not included is the cost of my labor. Tip: Reconstituting 2-way humidipaks -- tray, humidity dome and a heat mat are used. Set some wet paper towel on bottom of tray. change these out daily. I use upside down seedling pots so that the humidipaks don't directly touch the wet towels. Set heat mat to 80F or causes condensation to form on dome, and the 67-gram packs can gain abut 0.20 to 0.25 grams per hour. Weigh them as you go until they get back to 67 grams and remove from dome for use or storage. Anything that has precipitated (hardness inside), will mostly go back into solution over a few days, but some small portion may not. Shaking or otherwise moving the pebbles around in the solution will help speed that process up. If those solids inside build up over time, that's when you'll need to replace them. A few pebbles inside of a 67g pack won't matter much. The key is providing a closed 100% RH environment without directly wetting the packs. Rate of absorption is fairly slow, and will vary by pack size. You may not get 100% of it back into solution, but as long as those solids don't build up much, they'll work fine. This process also reduces any bud smell that may be clinging to them... assuming they dried out significantly and not just topping them off with a few grams of moisture. Don't try to max out their weight unless you are certain you only need 1-way RH control. Othwerwise, you don't want them fully saturated. So, do weight and keep track of their progress.

# LSD Zamnesia Tripping 🙂 | Harvest Day — Week 14 From Seed Well… This one became something special. Week 14 from seed, harvest day officially arrived for our LSD girls, and honestly, standing in front of these plants during harvest felt a little surreal. The entire room had that strange mix of excitement, silence, stickiness, exhaustion, curiosity, and gratitude growers probably know very well. This run taught us a lot. Before diving into the harvest itself, a quick recap for everyone joining now: These plants were grown under 12/12 from seed. No traditional long vegetative phase. No giant bush-building period. No months of shaping before flowering. The idea behind these runs has always been curiosity: - observing morphology, - understanding structure, - exploring how genetics behave under flowering conditions from the beginning, - and learning how much expression comes naturally when we interfere less. And honestly? The morphology on these LSDs became fascinating. For a mostly indica-leaning hybrid, they absolutely did not develop the way many people would expect from a classic “indica structure.” Instead of short dense bushes, these girls built massive central colas with strong vertical expression and incredible flower stacking all the way through. Not the tallest plants in the world… …but the flower mass? Serious business. You can actually see it clearly in the photos where I’m standing beside them, holding them, comparing them to speakers, equipment, and studio gear. The scale becomes obvious immediately. The plants may not dominate a room vertically, but the density and flower production are honestly impressive. Huge colas. Heavy structure. Beautiful stacking. Outstanding resin production. And the closer harvest came, the more unreal they became. Of course, before chopping everything down, we had to bring them into the studio one final time. Some plants deserve proper portraits before the end, and these girls definitely earned that treatment. The studio sessions were incredible: - dramatic lighting, - macro photography, - behind-the-scenes moments, - live videos, - giant cola shots, - resin closeups, - and all the tiny details that are impossible to appreciate properly with the naked eye alone. This is also where macro photography becomes something really special. Macro photography is not just “zooming in.” It’s about revealing another world hidden inside the flower: - trichome heads, - resin texture, - pistil coloration, - gland development, - frost layering, - microscopic color changes, - tiny resin rivers running across sugar leaves. And harvest time is honestly one of the most beautiful phases for macro work because the plant is at peak expression: - swollen calyxes, - mature trichomes, - fading leaves, - curling pistils, - oily resin everywhere. The flowers almost stop looking real under proper magnification. And speaking about resin… Oh my God. The finger hash during harvest was absolutely insane. Or technically, since we are talking about live fresh material, this would be closer to charas than classic dry-trim finger hash. And there is actually a difference. Traditional finger hash usually comes from handling dried or partially dried flowers during trimming, while charas is collected directly from fresh living material. The resin profile, texture, aroma, and even effects can feel noticeably different because the compounds are still fully alive and fresh inside the plant material. This sticky dark resin has been used traditionally for centuries, especially in places like India, where charas still holds cultural, medicinal, and spiritual importance today. Even Lord Shiva is historically associated with charas in many traditions. And honestly, after handling these plants during harvest… it becomes very easy to understand why humans have respected this resin for such a long time. The flowers were unbelievably oily. Not dry frost. Not sandy frost. Not airy resin. Proper greasy, sticky, living resin. The kind that coats your gloves instantly and keeps building layer after layer while working. At some point during harvest, you stop trimming and start realizing you accidentally created little resin sculptures on your fingertips. 😄 We also froze around 800 grams of fresh material for future washing and extraction work. And this is only the beginning. Future reports will cover: - washing, - ice water extraction, - separating grades, - drying techniques, - collection, - curing, - and the entire process from fresh frozen material into final concentrate. So definitely stay tuned, because that part of the journey is going to be incredibly interesting too. The remaining plants are now hanging whole for drying. Instead of aggressively breaking everything down into tiny branches immediately, we chose to dry the plants mostly whole to slow the drying process naturally and preserve quality as much as possible. Current expectation: - around 7–12 days drying, depending on how each plant behaves individually. Because at this stage, patience matters. Drying too quickly can destroy weeks and months of work surprisingly fast: - aroma loss, - harsh smoke, - terpene degradation, - uneven curing, - brittle flower texture. Harvest is not the finish line. Drying and curing are part of the grow too. And honestly, some people underestimate just how important these final stages truly are. Now let’s talk trichomes for a moment, because this is always an important conversation. For me personally, harvest timing is all about trichome maturity. This run was harvested with: - the majority cloudy, - a small but important touch of amber, - and a few still transitioning. That is personally where I believe the plant reaches peak balance. Cloudy trichomes usually represent peak cannabinoid maturity and expression for the type of effect I personally prefer: strong, complex, alive, euphoric, full-spectrum. Amber absolutely has value too, and I encourage people to experiment with later harvest windows if they enjoy heavier, more sedative effects. But in my experience, once too many heads become amber, part of the energetic complexity starts shifting toward degradation pathways and more CBN-heavy expressions. That can be wonderful medicine too. Just different medicine. This is why harvest timing becomes deeply personal for every grower eventually. There is no universal “perfect harvest day.” There is only observation, intention, and preference. And these girls felt ready. The fading across the leaves confirmed it beautifully too: - yellows, - pale greens, - orange pistils, - swollen flowers, - fully expressed resin, - end-of-life coloration everywhere. The plants looked alive and dying at the same time in the most beautiful possible way. Mr. Baggy, of course, stayed with us throughout the entire process helping along the way 😄 and we included a few behind-the-scenes moments because honestly, those moments matter too. Sometimes the chaos around the grow becomes part of the story itself. And next week? Next week becomes another important chapter: - trimming, - curing updates, - smoke review, - washing process, - extraction updates, - and the final transformation of everything we have been nurturing for all these weeks. This harvest actually happened a while ago already, which gave us enough time to let the drying and curing process evolve properly before discussing final quality. We wanted the next report to feel complete instead of rushed. And finally… Thank you. To Zamnesia for the genetics. To Plagron. To F.O.G. To the LEDs and all the gear involved. To GrowDiaries. To the 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 day one. To the people who just discovered this run now. To the lovers and even the haters 😄 If someone spent even a few moments here sharing this journey with us, then they deserve some gratitude and positive energy in return. Wishing everyone healthy plants, peaceful minds, sticky fingers, beautiful harvests, and a little curiosity on their own journey too. 🌱 📡 DELETED @ 1K Please stay tuned.we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@TheDogDoctorOfficial NEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.

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.

It has been a strange week alternating rains and high temperatures... and in the garden all kind of bugs appeared like it is Spring :( In the last 3 days of this week noticed some leaves with aphids, and some powdery mildew but hopefully not touching the buds, as are covered in a lot of resin and thc, so gotta clean the plant removing all the afected leaves when harvesting and hash is discarded with this plant.. So... the Royal Cheese had to be harvested as soon as possible... but no worries at all as the plant past the middle point of the harvest window(as i say lol), with practically all the trichs milky. Would like to keep the plant like 3 or 4 days more until amber appearing, but the taste of the Cheese is better if you harvest earlier so it is all fine. The colas are so big, did not expect this kind of production with a revegged plant ( but she did not fully flower ), 3 months ago when the plant started to flower. The smell is insulting hahaha, it is stinking all the sorroundings... The neighbours probably are mad about it 😅 But they are kind, did not complain about it.. The feeding schedule: -Water-/-TopCandy-/-Water- Flushing: last 10-11 days until harvest Good vibes!!!!, next diary week will be Harvest
