Weather is getting a bit better this week. Almost no rain anymore and much more sun comparing to last week. Blueberry Ghost OG and Kali AK still don't want to start flowering, but they slowed down from growing taller at least, so there are hope of they to start flowering soon (hopefully).

LSD Zamnesia Tripping 🙂 | Fresh Frozen, Ice Water & Temple Balls — Week 16 From Seed First of all… Yes 😄 We are once again dividing the harvest reports into multiple chapters, and once again we apologize for that. But honestly, there was simply no way to fit: * harvest, * drying, * trimming, * curing, * smoke review, * macro photography, * fresh frozen work, * washing, * extraction, * and hash making… …into a single GrowDiaries update without rushing through important parts of the process. And this part? This part deserved its own spotlight completely. Because this week was not about flower anymore. This week was about resin. Living resin. Fresh frozen material. Ice water extraction. Patience. Cold temperatures. Sticky hands. And slowly transforming trichomes into beautiful hash. For everyone joining only now, quick recap: These LSD girls were grown under 12/12 from seed from the very beginning. Minimal training, mostly natural structure, gentle leaf manipulation, and environmental balance instead of aggressive intervention. Part of the harvest was dried traditionally and already covered in the previous report. But another part… …never got dried at all. Straight during harvest, selected flowers were removed fresh from the plants and immediately vacuum sealed before going directly into the freezer. No drying. No curing. No waiting. Fresh frozen. And that changes everything. The goal here is preservation. When flowers are frozen immediately after harvest, a large portion of the volatile compounds: * terpenes, * flavonoids, * aromatic compounds, * and delicate resin characteristics… …can remain much closer to their living state compared to traditionally dried material. This is why fresh frozen extraction became so respected in modern hash making. It captures a version of the plant that only exists for a very short moment in time. Alive. Wet. Fresh. Fully expressed. And honestly? Opening those frozen bags weeks later felt like reopening harvest day itself 😄 The flowers still looked incredibly resinous even after sitting frozen for weeks waiting for wash day. Now let’s talk process. For the wash itself, we used the Bubbleator machine courtesy of Zamnesia , and honestly huge thanks to them for providing it. They knew I wanted to start exploring ice water extraction properly, and they were kind enough to support the journey. The setup itself is actually beautifully simple. First: ice. Lots of ice 😄 The machine was filled partially with ice first before adding the fresh frozen material inside the working bag. The flowers themselves were placed inside a closed 220-micron washing bag. This is important because the bag keeps the plant material contained while still allowing the trichome heads to separate during agitation. After placing the material inside: * more ice on top, * cold water added, * everything submerged, * and then… …we waited. Around 30 minutes or so. And this step is actually extremely important. A lot of people think washing starts when the machine turns on. But honestly? The wash starts before that. This resting phase allows the frozen material to: * slowly rehydrate, * absorb water again, * become fully saturated, * and most importantly… * become extremely cold throughout the entire plant material. Why does this matter? Because trichomes become brittle at very cold temperatures. The colder everything gets: * the easier the resin heads separate, * the cleaner the release becomes, * and the less physical force is required. That is also why ice exists under and above the material: * lower temperatures evenly, * protect the resin, * and maintain the cold environment throughout the wash. Once the water temperature approached near freezing… …the machine came alive 😄 And honestly? Watching the water slowly transform during the wash is always magical. At first: just ice, water, and flowers. Then slowly: foam, cloudiness, resin separation, and finally that beautiful milky golden water hash makers love seeing appear. Meanwhile on the side, we prepared the filter bags. We did not use every single micron separation individually because honestly sometimes over-separating becomes unnecessary depending on goals and material quality. Instead, we focused on collecting the grades we actually wanted to work with and enjoy. And then came one of the most satisfying parts of the entire process: Collection 😄 Slowly lifting the bags. Watching the resin gather. Carefully scraping. Separating grades. Observing texture and color differences. Beautiful creamy resin everywhere. Some lighter. Some slightly darker. Some sandy. Some greasy. Every layer carrying slightly different characteristics. After collection, the resin was carefully freeze-dried. And this part also requires patience. First freeze drying. Then breaking it apart. Then more drying. Then more waiting 😄 Depending on environment and conditions, full drying can take several days because trapped moisture inside hash is dangerous long term. Rushing this step can ruin months of work later. In this case, the process stretched closer to about a week before everything felt properly stable and ready to work. And honestly… This is where the magic really started. Once dry enough, we allowed the hash to rest briefly before beginning the hand-working process. No extreme heat. No giant pressure. No fancy machinery. Just: room temperature, body warmth, gentle pressure, folding, rolling, stretching, and patience. The room itself stayed around 15°C, which turned out to be perfect for working the resin slowly without overheating it. And this step matters far more than many people realize. When hand-working hash properly: * oils redistribute, * compounds begin merging, * terpenes spread through the material, * oxidation starts slowly, * texture evolves, * and curing begins transforming the resin itself over time. You are not simply “rolling hash.” You are starting a living curing process. And slowly… The texture changed completely. From sandy loose resin… to creamy material… to sticky dough… to smooth beautiful temple balls. Honestly, seeing that transformation happen in your hands never gets old 😄 Final result? Three temple balls total: * two smaller ones from smaller micron collections, * and one large main temple ball that became the true star of the session. Final weight: 46.5 grams.( big one ) And honestly? I was extremely happy with that result. Especially considering the quality, texture, color, and how beautifully this LSD washed overall. Once formed, the temple balls were wrapped carefully in parchment paper before being vacuum sealed for long-term curing. And now? They rest. Months. Maybe longer. Waiting. Because the goal here is not “fresh hash.” The goal is evolution. Traditional temple ball style curing allows: * oils to redistribute, * compounds to merge, * texture to transform, * aroma to deepen, * and the entire resin profile to mature over time. Almost like aging wine. Or curing cheese. Or fermenting traditional products slowly and intentionally. This is medicine with patience built into the process. And honestly… That part alone deserves respect. We also included: * detailed process photos, * collection stages, * macro photography, * texture closeups, * curing progression, * and multiple stacked macro images showing the resin in insane detail. Some of these stacks reached: * 62 frames, * 87 frames, * 114 frames, * and even 152-frame focus stacks. Because honestly, hash under macro magnification becomes another universe completely. The textures stop looking real. Tiny resin mountains. Oil rivers. Micro-crystals. Glossy surfaces. Soft creamy structures. It almost starts looking geological instead of botanical 😄 Mr. Baggy of course supervised the entire operation like the professional resin inspector he clearly believes he is. And next week… The final chapter arrives. Smoke review. Curing review. Flower review. Hash review. Terpene evolution. Effects. Textures. Lessons learned. Mistakes made. And final thoughts after this entire LSD journey from seed to cured medicine. And finally… Thank you. To Zamnesia for the genetics and the Bubbleator. To Plagron. To F.O.G. To all the LEDs, gear, and equipment involved. To GrowDiaries. To the community. To the OG followers. To the new curious visitors. To the silent supporters. To the skeptics. To the lovers and even the haters 😄 To everyone spending time sharing this strange beautiful plant journey with us. Wishing everyone: cold water, sticky fingers, healthy plants, beautiful resin, and enough patience to let good hash become great hash 🌱

I finally got them in the garden! It was a trip getting out there, so they don't look the greatest because they're stressed. I broadforked the bed because I have very hard clay soil and put down Ocean Forest potting soil. I have some wire support hoops for the AG19 row cover I'm going to be using for the transition. It's lightweight and breathable but it will cut down on some of the sun so they don't burn and it will also keep them warmer at night since it's still pretty cool. And please disregard my comment about the Chamomile and Nitrogen... Chamomile sequesters Calcium, Potassium and Sulfur, not Nitrogen😜. Clover sequesters Nitrogen. I added about 5-10% Biochar in with the Fox farm potting soil which is an excellent source of carbon and helps retain soil moisture. I added some lime to stabilize ph and try to deter lockout which I had last year. I also added mycorrhizal inoculant for root health, it helps to reduce stress in plants and helps them to uptake more sugars which is exactly what we want.

Week 12. Day 78....well it's coming to an end for this girl. Cut off all nutrients and just feeding with plain pH 6.0 water since day 76. He leaves are starting to change colors. Ppm is down to low 800. I'll post more pictures during the week. Day 81....she got water today, I've been feeding her 2 gallons every 2days for the longest and she was happy with that. She also had freezing temps more than once and she's still doing well. Leaves are starting getting yellow and I also noticed some purpling of some of the upper leaves and stem. I've been busy lately but I promise my next grows I will be 💯. Day 83.....gave her another 2gallon feeding today of plain pH 5.8 tap water. A lot more leaves are getting yellow. I did notice some of her caylx are turning a little purple, this is excitement to me. I'll let her run a few more days and then it's chop down time. Curious to see how much she yield.

Woche 4 Topping und Blattschnitt. Der Blattschaden wird wohl durch die zu abrupte Umstellung kommen. Etwas viel Licht und Wind im neuen Zelt der kleinen . 45. DLI (noch aus der letzten Blüte) wurde erstmal auf 35 DLI reduziert.

So another week and some more thickening and ripening. The smell is like blueberry on one and the others are sweet as well. Slightly different smell to each. Watering when dry still at pH 6-6.6 and monitoring overall plant trichomes. At this point it's autopilot to the end. No more feeding with slow release and will slowly flush the remaining food out next few weeks. I like my trichomes to have some amber, not too much but mostly cloudy with some amber. Seems like most will be dense, except one plant I've called corona virus. It has smaller buds but are really resinous and smelly. Cheers and happy growing!

So she had some nice growth this last week. I'm hoping this next week is its last bit of growth, can only move the light up another 3 to 4 inchs. I've got to clean up the lower section A bit more, more growth there then I'd like. So far it's growing a lot nicer then the last plant I did in this tent with a SCRog set up. The size of the squares on the last grows netting were 6" and this one is 4". Way easier to get a proper looking SCRog plant then with the 6" that's for sure. Now that the temperature outside has warmed up the night time temperature has been better then earlier weeks. The humidity has also gotten a lot better. Especially after I add a 4" muffin fan to the lower 4" duct hole. The humidity went up but the temperature went down a bit during lights on. Ive had to lower my temperature switch just to get the 4" duct fan to turn on to suck out the stail air. Think what I'll do is add a second plug to the temperature switch so I can add the 4" muffin fan to it so that itll only turn on when the temperature goes up instead of running 24/7. I've increased the feed up to 1000ppm and am give it 1.5L of water a day with 250ml max run off. My run off ppm is only 1080ppm so that's a great sign so far. I've been trying my best to keep the ppm levels equal every feed but itf luctuates a bit but no more then 60-80ppm. Same with my Ph, because I'm using the Jungle Juice base nutrients it's not part of Advanced Nutrients Ph perfect line so I have to adjust it. I usually try to have it swing back and forth between 5.9 and 6.1 and the plant seems to be liking it. Tho I'm not done this grow yet this light is doing a lot better in this tent then the last light. Only downside is that one burnt out diode. Because I always try to plan a grow ahead, I'm already planning on trying that last light out again (Phlizon PH-1000 125w that they apparently don't make anymore). But this time it's going to be in my 2x3x5 fusion hut tent with Royal Queen Seeds Fast Eddy CBD AUTO strain. Also going to add a ex hale bag to it. Well that's all for now growmies. Keep growing!!!

Day one of flower finally here, top dressed with Gaia Green & worm castings but I have also began high frequency fertigation with emerald harvest nutes on top of the dry amendments. Plants have not looked healthier. I get the benefits of high frequency fertigation and have a stable root zone as it's packed with organic matter. I still use recharge at every watering also, except when giving silica. With the new watering style I now water 7 times daily with nutes or suppliments in every watering.
