9.2. - I've decided that this is the last week of feeding or maybe last feeding as I'm already considering to flush. Leaves are still yellowing, however the buds are looking fat and frosty. Thankfully, they grow bigger each day with stronger smell. I see more and more amber trichomes. ❄️ Watered 💧 11.2. - Watered 💧 12.2. - Looks like snow blizzard in the tent ❄️ also the smell is getting so strong that my filter is not enough 😁 Buds are swelling and the Gelato plant went totally crazy as you can see...finally, things are going well ❤️‍ 15.2. - Week wrap-up: Today I flushed 4 of 7 plants 🚽 This was very successful week as I got rid of the deficiencies and buds gained a lot of weight and sugar 🍭 Also the Gelato plant is thriving and I'm very excited to see the final results. Next week I'll harvest the flushed plants ✂️ 9.2. - 15.2.2024

She is growing great and right where I want her. I mainlined her on day 14. I topped her above the third node and left a small stump. The stump will swell which helps keep the main from splitting later in life. I cut everything below and will the down the new growth.

IM so glad I picked up this limited edition strain from ace seeds. She smells like a tropical fruits . Always wanted to try growing a p.c.k strain (Pakistan chitral Kush). Genetics speaks for it self. Buds are slowly fattening up, and getting loaded with resin. I have nothing but big hopes for her. I can wait to try this baby. I think this is going to be some top shelf smoke 💨

The leaves continue to turn yellow from the bottom. It seems that I started fertilizing too quickly and the tips of the leaves burned a little

Well it was a fine grow , used the whole Hesi earth pack and for the 1st time, Hesi Boost and Power Zyme , i used a kind of boost from plagron years ago and think this is similar. The earth will be reused in the next grow with Greenhouse powder feeding on half of the plants , rest gets fresh earth and hesi. Now its time to flush with Ph corrected water and see where we stand next Weekend 😁. Left Gran Jefa, right back Fullgas , right Front and mid Lemon Orange.

The first week of flower, amended the soil with 1/2 cup of bonemeal in each pot. The days after I applied it was very humid and white mold grow on the top layer of the soil. I used a spray bottle with hydrogen peroxide to kill the mold. This worked very effectively.

Três das quatro plantas estão com sementes, acabei colhendo uma delas e as outras três vou colher semana que vem :(, para minha sorte eu tenho um lindo clone da única que não se tornou hermafrodita :(, foi muito difícil controlar o clima não sei aonde errei

I'm very happy with this weeks progress. They transitioned very well to the garden, which I'm chocking up to the row cover. They didn't need any water due to the thunderstorm we had last night, but I did make a ring around the base of each plant and gave them about 1-2 TBSP of the Coast of Maine Stonington Blend fertilizer. They also got their tomato cages.

Getting tall. I have light wind blowing on it to strengthen the stem because it will be going outside. I think I'll need to start training it early.

🌸 Lava Cake – Week 7 (3rd Week Flower) | Blossoms Rising The third week of flower has arrived, and our Lava Cakes are stepping fully into bloom. Both girls are looking beautiful, symmetrical, and strong, with thick white pistils reaching out and leaves still praying to the light. Their similarity in structure makes this run feel almost like growing twins, each reflecting the same genetics, each glowing with energy. ⸻ 🔙 Looking Back – The Road Here From seeds sprouting in soft cups → to vigorous veg under Future of Grow and ThinkGrow LEDs → to the careful transplant and expansion in the 8x8 ecosystem, every stage has been about setting a solid foundation. • Feeding: Aptus core line + Plagron boosters • Training: Gentle guiding, letting them branch freely • Environment: Tuned by the TrolMaster brain, with sensors guiding irrigation and VPD All of this has brought us here: lush plants in early bloom, no signs of stress, and a canopy built for flower stacking. ⸻ 🍽️ Current Recipe – Staying Steady This week, we keep the same feed — consistency is key as the flowers set. Per L Water: • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml • Aptus Top Booster – 0.5 ml • Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml • Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml • Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml With the Aptus All-in-One Liquid still paused, the soil’s embedded nutrition + pellets are helping balance things out while these bloom boosters do the heavy lifting. ⸻ 🌡️ Room & Rhythm • Temps: ~31–34°C (still awaiting the AC unit for stabilization) • Humidity: ~60%, bringing VPD near 1.9 kPa • Watering: Daily — plants are drinking heavily, irrigated once substrate moisture falls near 19–20% • Monitoring: TrolMaster WCS substrate sensor + Tent-X keep us informed on EC, moisture, and temps directly in-soil Even with warm conditions, the Lava Cakes are thriving, drinking more, praying more, and pushing out flowers with confidence. ⸻ 🌸 Week 3 Flower – What We See • White Hairs: Thick, long, and vibrant, covering the tops like cotton clouds. • Flower Formation: Calyxes stacking, pistils reaching — no signs of hesitation. • Leaf Posture: Still upright, showing photosynthesis and metabolism are strong. • Uniformity: Both plants showing the same pace and morphology, a sign of stable genetics and consistent environment. ⸻ 🔮 Looking Ahead – What to Expect / Not to Expect ✅ Expect: • Rapid stacking in the next 2 weeks — buds will start to swell noticeably. • Aroma development — sweet Lava Cake terpenes may start teasing the air soon. • Nutrient demands rising steadily as flowers form. ❌ Not to expect: • Big trichome coverage just yet — resin production typically comes later. • A slowdown — stretch is nearly over, but flower development is just beginning. ⸻ ✨ Closing Thoughts The Lava Cakes are shining this week. Both are aligned in their growth, both are drinking and feeding with rhythm, and both are showing that the careful setup, from lights to irrigation to sensors, is paying off. Week 3 of flower is a promise — not yet the harvest, but the first real glimpse of what’s coming. Thick pistils today, heavy buds tomorrow. With consistency in feeding, environment, and care, these girls are well on their way to becoming the stars of the room. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

**Update** 96.5 grams dry from 1 Autoflower! Amazing smells, still has some of the 🍈 funk. She needs to cure to let the Terps and Flavors come out. She is still very sticky and resinous. Will update once a week or two of cure is done, but with the 1 joint I smoked, full heavy hitter, body buzz and heavy head high. Looking forward to the finished product. This plant flourished with little work on my part. Good nutrients, and not being too hands on let this beast do her own thing. I would definitely recommend as a beginner strain/auto flower to go with, she is easy to see through to the end. Didn’t really need much attention until flower came on and she fed hard for phosphorus and potassium while she stacked. I’ve got some of her cousins already sprouted and am looking forward to trying some different techniques to see what she can do! Happy growing all 🌱😎

Maintained the LST and Defoliated girls and to me they seemed to be fine with everything done. I also gave them nutrients on 11/12 and plain water 11/16 and both was until runoff. This was the 1st week with UVA lights on for 1 hour at the end of the days light schedule.{ Ladies seem to have no issue with UVA} only issue is #2 seem to be having a rough grow, not sure whats going on with her.Other then that to me with my limited knowledge and this being my 1st grow ever and the mistakes i made they look to be fine to me, but IDK.Either way i'm happy and enjoy growing my own BUD. Thank you all for the responses that i have received from the community on Growdiaries. HAPPY GROWING!!!

Drunken Bitch Slap has gotten pretty big. She is bulking now under the Hortibloom Solux 350. Her colas are looking dense at the moment. Everything is looking strong are the moment. I may do a solution change tomorrow for last bit of bulking.

35 days!!! When I returned from vacation, I found her a little tired:) as far as I know, the weather wasn't very good, but the last 3 days we've had really sunny weather, so even though the girl lives on the north side of the house, she's still maturing there:) she looks really good :) good luck to everyone.

Jan 13th ordered a Dehumidifier today should be here Monday need to get the humidity down for flower I can only get it down to 57% so Hopefully it will work One of the amnesia haze plants have some type of deficiency not sure have brown spots on leaves Got humidity some decent control but I’m sure amnesia haze 1 is dealing with PH issues the PH meter is cheap and I’m sure it’s been off a bit so I’m going to look for new one this week

D92. At the start of week eight of flower, the girls are simply doing their thing and slowly bulking up. I gave each girl 1.25 liters of water @ pH 6.6. ------------------------------ D93. I brewed compost tea (worm castings, rock dust, kelp meal, biochar, oatmeal) and gave each girl 2.5 liters @ pH 6.6. ------------------------------ D95. Each girl got 2.5 liters of water @ pH 6.6 with FFJ, humic acid, and a teaspoon of Epsom salt. ------------------------------ D98. We're at the end of week eight of flower, and we're heading toward the final stretch. I guess another two to four weeks until harvest. Today, each girl got 2.5 liters of water @ pH 6.7. ------------------------------

Day 105 The Pinus Contorta Purple Matcha is going crazy with the smell, 1 or 2 more weeks for more trichomes to turn amber. The Fresh Pressed Runtz is doing good too but she's far from being ready (on paper 10 weeks vs the 8/9 of the purple matcha).
