🌸 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.

Day 1: Popped. Temp: 75º RH: 82% + PPFD: 250 Day 2: Temp: 75º RH: 82% + PPFD: 250 Day 3: Roots showing through the bottom of the rapid rooter. Dusted roots with Tryfecta Myco Supreme (FoxFarms) and transplanted to 5 gallon pot w/ProMix HP. Temp: 75º RH: 78% + PPFD: 300 Day 4: 5-10ml ph 6.2 water feed. Temp: 75º RH: 75% + PPFD: 300 Day 5: Showing second set of leaves. Temp: 75º RH: 75% PPFD: 300 Day 6: Temp 75º RH: 75% PPFD: 300 VPD .42 KPa Day 7: Temp 75º RH: 72% PPFD: 300 VPD: .42 KPa The Do-Si-Dos like the rest are showing some small signs of over watering. Notice the slight yellowing around the leaf edges indicating wet feet. Will continue to mist spray a few times a day for the next week with no additional water added to soil. Hopefully we can get this corrected quickly.

🌱✨ Super Sativa Seed Club Week 5 (Pre-Flower) Report! ✨🌱 Hey fellow green thumbs! 🌿 We’ve just wrapped up the first week of the flowering phase with our Auto Fast Pete and Auto Northern Dragon Fuel from Super Sativa Seed Club. This week has been all about preparing for an explosive flowering phase and optimizing our grow environment. Let’s dive into the details! 🌟 Week 5 (Pre-Flower) Progress: Day 29-31: Transition to Flowering • Auto Fast Pete: Our fast-growing friend is transitioning beautifully into the flowering phase. Pistils are emerging, marking the beginning of bud development. The plant is showing strong, healthy growth and a robust structure. 🌿🌸 • Auto Northern Dragon Fuel: This resilient plant is also entering the pre-flower stage. The first pistils are visible, and the plant is stretching and preparing for full bloom. The vegetative growth has set a solid foundation for a bountiful flowering period. 🌱✨ Day 32-34: Room Organization & Autopot System • Room Setup: This week, we reorganized the grow room, placing our Auto Fast Pete and Auto Northern Dragon Fuel to the far left of the tent. This strategic placement ensures they receive optimal light and airflow. 🌿💡 • Autopot System: We turned on the Autopots, an innovative system that automates the watering process, ensuring the plants receive consistent hydration. The Autopots use gravity to deliver water from a reservoir to the plants, allowing them to take up water as needed. This method promotes healthy root development and prevents over or under-watering. 🌱💧 Day 35: Nutrient Changes & Environmental Conditions • Nutrient Strategy: We’ve stopped direct feedings and are now testing how the plants do with only the organic nutrition in the soil, supplemented by regulator and CalMag in the reservoir. This approach aims to maximize the benefits of organic soil nutrition while ensuring the plants get essential minerals. 🌿 • Reservoir Details: • TDS: 400 • Temperature: 18°C • pH: 6.2 • Environmental Conditions: • Temperature: 31°C • Humidity: 51% These conditions create an optimal environment for flowering, ensuring healthy development and growth. 🌡️💧 🌟 Care Tips: • Light: Keeping our full-spectrum LED light at an optimal distance (18-24 inches) to ensure even light distribution. The plants are responding well to the consistent light schedule. 💡 • Autopot System: The Autopot system ensures a steady water supply, reducing the need for frequent manual watering. This system is great for maintaining consistent soil moisture, which is crucial during the flowering phase. 🌊 • Nutrient Monitoring: Keeping an eye on the reservoir’s TDS and pH levels to ensure the plants receive the right amount of nutrients and minerals. This week, we’re focusing on organic soil nutrition supplemented with regulator and CalMag. 🌿 • Environment Control: Maintaining a stable temperature of 31°C and humidity around 51% to create the perfect conditions for flowering. Adjusting airflow and positioning to optimize plant health. 🌡️💧 🌟 Genetics Spotlight: Auto Fast Pete: • Characteristics: Rapid transition to flowering, strong structure, early bud development. This strain is a reliable and fast-growing option for any grower. • Future Expectations: Swift bud development and resin production in the coming weeks. Anticipate a dense and flavorful harvest. Auto Northern Dragon Fuel: • Characteristics: Resilient transition to flowering, robust structure, visible pistils. This strain promises high yields and resilient plants. • Future Expectations: Significant bud growth and increased resin production. This plant is gearing up for a heavy yield. 🌍🌿 Fun Fact: Did you know? 🌿✨ Autoflowers begin flowering based on their age, not light cycles. This means they transition to flowering typically around 4-5 weeks after germination, making them a great choice for quick harvests! For all the in-depth action and detailed explanations, head over to my YouTube channel! 🎥✨ I’m sharing all the tips, tricks, and step-by-step guides to help you get the best results from your grow. This week has been particularly exciting, and there’s so much more to explore and learn together! 👉 Join me on YouTube Link is in my profile 👈 🌟 Conclusion: Week 5 marks the beginning of the pre-flower phase, with both Auto Fast Pete and Auto Northern Dragon Fuel showing promising signs of bud development. With the Autopot system in place and our focus on organic soil nutrition, we’re set for an exciting flowering period. Stay tuned for Week 6, and happy growing! 🌿💚✨ #SuperSativaSeedClub #Week5Report #FastPete #NorthernDragonFuel #PlantMagic #GardeningJoy #NatureLovers #PlantPower #Inspire #GrowYourOwn #YouTubeChannel Germination method 🌱 @thecannakan Genetics @supersativaseedclub_official Nutrition @aptusholland 🌿 @aptus_world 🌎 @aptus_es 🌍 @aptusbrasil 🌱 @aptus_thailand 🌿 @aptus_portugal 🌳 @aptususa_official 🍀 @aptusplanttechnz 🌺 @aptusplanttechaus 🍃 Ambient controls🎮 @trolmaster.eu @trolmaster.eu.support @trolmaster.support @trolmaster.agro Soil @promix_growers_eur @promix_cannabis LED - @lumatekeu Watering- @autopot_usa @autopot_global Love and attention- @dogdoctorofficial As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and so joyful with you all in my life 🙏 With true love comes happiness 💚🙏 Always believe in your self and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart , be a giver and the universe will give back to you in ways you could not even imagine so 💚 More info and complete updates from all my adventures can be found ⬆️link in the profile description ⬆️ Friendly reminder all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only 💚Growers Love To you All 💚

Added a little time lapse video for y’all to see my journey - atleast this clone journey- with this strain. Hope you enjoy it. Every day is a learning experience and she is like that saucy best friend - keeping me on my toes. She got 2 gallons of recharge, increased liquid nutrients - finally, some new minor tip burn which is what I was looking for. It’s about 1.25 gallons per day to keep her moist, 2 gallons to even get a cup of run off. (Every 3rd day I saturate her). New nutrient addition this week is tps signal- which I had great success with during end stage on another run. Plus I had hoped it would curb her appetite more. But by the 31st….she still wasn’t happy. I yell at her - “my goodness woman, what do you want from me!?” 🤣🤣 Mega nutrient increase coming up. 🙂 - and I’m watching the trichomes closely. I’m taking a ton of the lower branches/larf for a 6 week flower CBG harvest. I intend to mix it with the final thc flower product to maximize the benefits of the plant in certain smokes/edibles.

The vigorous branches and typical sativa structure are now embracing the Overdrive effect. In this sixth week, the buds are slowly expanding, in sync with a terpene profile that promises pure tropicality. ✅ The feeding cycle strictly follows the AN Master Recipe, while watering has been increased to 3 cycles/day via drip kit, optimizing distribution in deep substrates. 💡 Full spectrum with: FD9600 at maximum power Mars Hydro 100W to favor the lower body 🌬️ The dehumidifier will be activated on Friday evening, without connection to the Inkbird, but will operate automatically at the target humidity to keep the VPD under control.

I did a few things differently than I usually do since I’ve been having problems with germination lately. I’ve grown strawpicanna before, so I know it’s not exactly an easy cultivar. Still, I experimented, and sometimes experiments fail. I’m not crying over it though - things happen in the garden you just gotta grow with the flow. 😝😝 I still have some things in the works. Just got a 10 pack of Blueberry Rose from Lovin In Her Eyes so I’ll be back with a fresher and hopefully far better diary in a few days.
