Heya Growmies, this week was pretty eventful first off, the plant is in flowering in full force and doing really well despite a lot of user error throughout its life! I mentioned last week I was going to do two things, the plants last major defoliation and turn my DWC into a 2 bucket RDWC. I have managed to get around to both, I am always anxious when defoliating, scared of taking off too much but this time I really pushed my comfort zone, let me know what you think. before, in my other grows, I have a lot of larfy buds, I dont want those, I want tight, dense small nuggies, I think one of my bigger problems back then was defoliation amount, I just left too many fan leaves. RDWC.... Let me just say that I have proven to myself this week that I'm not destined to become a plumber, in my first iteration the drain line was too small, causing the pump to overpower it and overflow the plant bucket, I changed out the hose for some 50mm pvc tubing, which worked wonders, for the first few hours I sprung leaks and had to pull my plant out during her dark period to fix it; no bueno. All is well right now though, no leaks and everything is circulating nicely at 500 liters an hour. I could probably get a bigger pump, but its fine, I'm going to stop tempting fate. From here on out honestly, theres not much more for me to do other than go into the garden, pull a fan leave here or there, check flowers for nanners and balls and adjust the water. It's on cruise control now Stay safe out there growmies, keep growing!

These ladies came in a rush, such a rush that they stretched out without leaving the seed. I only got a picture of two but about four of them were like that. As soon as they shedded the seed the leaves came in nicely, only one got a bit damaged from being stuck in the seed. I placed the seed in a 500ml cup with BioBizz Light Mix soil, beforehand I mixed 1 gram of Synergy per 4 liters of soil. These are live microbes called Mycorrhiza which live in symbiotic association with the roots. My idea is to leave them in this container for about 14-21 days until the roots develop correctly then transplant them to their final pot which will be an 11L fabric pot. As the light mix soil comes blended for at least two week of life, no nutrients will be added until after the transplant. All out good first week only problem was I had to adjust the light a bit to keep them from stretching, but at the end of the week ladies were spreading their leaves so they comfy now.

11-05 Looking great, smelling great, and a putting on the weight like a good girl! I think I'll hit them(or maybe just one) with a light dose of powder Kool Bloom this week to prepare for the full dose the 7th and 8th week of bloom. 11-08 So I believe I messed up 😣😕😔. At some point when I was writing down my recipe for my feedings so I didn't forget, I accidentally wrote the wrong number down for the Jack's Hydro, I put a 16 when it should've been a 12,and I just realized it a few days ago. That would account for the some of the minor issues I've been seeing. I should have seen it sooner! All I can do now is feed them right, and hope it doesn't have any negative effects. 11-11 Going into week 7 of flower and things are great. The 2 girls are coming along nice, smell great and looking through a magnifier are almost done, about a week or so left.

Day 64: Second Grow We’re now in the fifth week of the flowering stage, and the buds are getting thicker by the day. We’ve decided to order a microscope to keep a closer eye on the trichome development. Additionally, we’re considering ordering CANNAZYM, a nutrient that could help our buds grow even bigger and healthier. Here’s to another week of growth and progress!!

11/1 In the water - bottled 6.0 - under the eye of the vicious Woodstock on the heated seedling mat. 2 Green Crack going into 5 gallons of washed and buffered coco 60% and perlite 40% using cocotek A and B nuets No nuets of course 11/2 On the paper towel, all look cracked on quick inspection 11/3 Cracked no tails ... at all... getting nervous... hate this part 11/4 Still no tails, the two Fastberry have already sprouted and been planted. Nervous again lol 11/5 Still no tails, going to drop two more later though Ive no confidence in them at this point. update: Holding off dropping two more, getting some activity (not breathing easy yet) from the first two. Seems my last ditch effort of a 3% peroxide solution soaking the seeds MAY be working. Wait one more night 11/7 Planted to very very sad germs out of habit more than hope on em. H2O2 works just wasnt much more to be done on em. Dropped two more into the water from the second pack of seeds, maybe it matters. 11/9 Tails on both, planted in coco. Looks like that first set of seeds is ... questionable :) 11/12 Finally some green! One is up nothing from the others yet. At least I have a grow now :D 11/13 One is up fairly strong the other is up but not looking as well may be a problem here just watching and waiting. Calling this Day 1 , will name later if things go well 11/14 New pics, both up looks like I have a grow Ladies of SciFi... Meet Ripley and Tara Going to carefully poke around in those first two pots that didnt sprout. See If I can learn anything. Need to figure out how to prevent that kind of thing. 11/15 New Pic. They growing well now. Found on the two other pots the seeds never did anything after planting which is what I expected to be honest. Afraid that seed pack is a no-go Feeding mix - 2 cups at 5.9 of each, .6ml CocoTek A & B, Fish Sh!T to runoff until transplant 11/16 New Pic and Vid The GC is playing a game of catch-up with the Fastberry Feeding every day now will go to twice daily when large enough. 11/19 Day 6 Really liking the coco coir. two feedings a day at 5ml cocotek A&B and 4 ml Fish Sh!t / gal at 6.0 Meter got in - TDS of the above feed is 575 with tap water being 210 giving a nuet level of 365 well within seedling and early veg limits, so plenty of room down the road. Will be working it up as I feel right 11/20 End of week 1 ... heh finally :) Put a lot of thought and study into this and adjusted the feeding. This in response to some slight lightening at the leaf tips suggesting nuets too high. Water TDS 220 ( gonna have to get a filter soon) so subtracting that I have the solution at 230 ppm (@2.5ml/gal cocotek AB with 2ml Fishsh!t which has little impact on TDS ) PH to 6.1. 450 ppm without adjustment which was my real target here. Fertigating twice daily to 5% runoff, transplanting when roots start poking out. Gentlest way I can think of to try and catch these babies up a little.

-Tag 61 Heute haben wir leider feststellen müssen das sie ein Zwitter ist und sehr viele Männliche Blüten entwickelt hat. Zum Glück haben wir es rechtzeitig gemerkt, denn sie stand direkt neben unser Membrana die auch schon in der Blüte ist.... Schade das wir sie vernichten mussten und sie nicht probieren konnten

This is start of week 5, the girls have been grooving even with a heat wave hitting and a few days of 90 degrees or 32c Thinking this week they will start to turn some what a red purple hue, they have also stopped stretching. Starting to produce lots of trichomes and the smells are starting to come out, atm the middle one smells like Vicks lol, and the left one is smelling gas. Will keep you updated with all the important info growmies until next time ✌️ 09/04/23

# 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. 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.

The plants look much better. I put too much nuts On first week so I had to rest all of them -70%. In my case the Calcium was blocking the entry of potassium so I decided just put 0.5ml/2l. The smaller plants are in week 2 but I noticed 2 of them growing really fast, they’re almost like the others 4 plants who are one week older! Almost all f them will be transplanted at the end of this week
