Well, I've almost made it to the finish line. Finally brought down the two KTs. Was A LOT more work than I anticipated and the magic wore off quickly! After hours and hours of trimming and some easy drying at about 73 F and 63 RH. About 8 days for the KTs, then another trim and jarred them up. Scale was acting up a bit but my count is 10.4 ounces dry between 2 plants. Happy with the yield. Am currently a little concerned that it doesn't smell like much. Didn't over dry, didn't quickly dry. In jars the RH is showing 61 or 62. Really hoping some individual character comes back to them! Will return to update smoke report. OG and Blueberry still drying.

6/29 - 4 days after I gave everyone the compost tea, the Jack Herers have sprung back to life! The compost tea was a literal life saver. Just a few days later and her leaves have smoothed out, there's virtually none of that glossy, dark green, twisted and gnarled growth. They are looking great! 6/30 - Top dressed all with Uprising Grow and Uprising Foundation 7/1 - Today I did a little selective defoliation on the Jacks. They are looking stronger and stronger each day. 7/2 - Today was feeding day. Gave them a dose of their regular nutrients. They are very happy! 7/3 - Added some red wigglers today! I ordered some Red Wigglers from Uncle Jim's Worm Farm and they arrived today. I added about 10 to each pot then moistened the soil a bit with just RO water pH to 6.6. I can't wait to watch them do their thing!

Hallo, Servus und herzlich Willkommen in der Glasfabrik. Leute kommt nach Bayern zum kiffen. Die Fabrik ist in der 12. Woche. Kurz vor der ersten Ernte. 17.06. Hier hat sich viel getan. Meine Teile sind jetzt gekommen. Bis auf den AC Infinity und meine Bluetooth-Dimmer für die SANligths. Der AC Infinity Lüfter wäre erst etwa Dezember gekommen. Deshalb hab ich einen anderen Lüfter gekauft, der verfügbar war, den Aygochy 150mm mit einen bärenstarken max. Durchzug von 688m³/h. Ein Ferrari unter den Lüfter. Tim Tylor, der Heimwerker-King, wäre blass vor Neid wegen der Power. Ich habe auch Fotos reingestellt, da könnt ihr meine neuen Errungenschaften bewundern und beneiden. So wie ich immer neidisch wurde, wenn all die Reports hier sehe. Für den alten Lüfter hab ich auch eine Neue Verwendung gefunden. Den kann ich in der Küche schon gebrauchen. Es war aber überhaupt nicht einfach, den neuen Lüfter so einzustellen, dass er das macht, was ich will. Zunächst zeigte sich, dass mir ein Luftbefeuchter nicht ausreicht, um auf die gewünschten 65%. Ich musste einen zweiten in das Zelt stellen (noch nicht im Bild). Und der Lüfter hat seinen eigenen Hydrometer, der nicht ganz synchron läuft mit dem von Govee. Da muss man einiges kalibrieren. Aber jetzt macht er, was ich will und ich muss mich eigentlich gar nicht mehr darum kümmern. - Ja puh, eine Menge Freizeit jetzt. Ich arbeite ja nicht: Arbeitslos, Krankheit, Rente - irgendwie etwas vom allem davon. Zum Glück habe ich noch die Wässerung alle 3 Tage und die Fototermine alle Montag für den Report. Ja, und dieser Report. Das Aufzuchtzelt musste ich auch lange kalibrieren. Ich hatte mir überlegt, ob ich im Aufzuchtzelt einen Filter brauche. Aber besser ist es. Vielleicht will ich da auch trocknen oder solche Dinge. Ich habe auch ein Video reingestellt, das euch das gesamte Fabriksgelände zeigt, - komplett!. In diesem Video ist auch ein Suchspiel enthalten: Findet die blaue Pipette. Wo hab ich die wieder hingelegt? Kennt ihr das? Man legt schnell man was ab und das ist plötzlich spurlos verschwunden, egal wie lange man sucht, es ist weg. Dann irgendwann will man ein Brötchen machen, dann liegt das dort einfach da. Das passiert mir oft. Mein Couchtisch ist das reinste Bermuda-Dreieck. Das kommt alles von meiner Cannabis-Psychose. Ich habe nämlich schon mit 15 angefangen zu kiffen. Kein Mensch hat mir gesagt, dass ich erst mit 25 anfangen darf. Ja, und das bedeutet zwangsläufig eine Psychose, wenn ich Hr. Pilsner (CSU) richtig verstanden habe. Jetzt hab ich den Salat und finde die Pipette nicht mehr. So ein Mist. Aber das ist halt einfach meine Bestimmung. Wohl gemerkt, die blaue Pipette. Die gelbe hab ich selbst gefunden. Wie toll jetzt alles ist. Ich sag euch, ich bin so glücklich. Ich habe fast mein ganzes Leben davon geträumt, dass sowas mal kommen könnte und dass ich völlig unbehelligt Pflanzen großziehe. Nicht das ich nicht vorher schon bereit gewesen wäre, illegal etwas anzubauen, aber ich durfte ja nicht, meine Vermieterin hat das nicht erlaubt. Aber jetzt ist es so weit. Der Traum wurde wahr. Meistens wenn Träume wahr werden, dann verwandeln sie sich in Albträume. Ich hoffe, dass ist jetzt nicht genau so. Bisher jedenfalls nicht. Bisher ist alles Bestens. Gut, da war doch noch was? Ach ja, die Pflanze. Alle 3 Pflanzen haben in den letzten 2-3 Tage furchtbar gelitten. Wegen meine Kalibrierungen standen sie of stundenlang im Zimmer rum mit einem VPD-Wert über 1.6kPa. Nicht gut. Und man sieht es den Pflanzen an. Nicht so wehr in den Bilder, aber wenn man sie live sieht ... Wir sind in der 12. Woche. Ich hab mir die Trichomen angesehen. Die sind schon trübe, aber ich habe noch keine bernsteinfarbene gesehen. Die Blüten könnten auch noch etwas anschwellen. Also eine Woche braucht sie mindestens noch. Was mich an den Autopflanzen stört, ist ihr Aussehen. Da ist zu viel von der hässlichen Rudalis drin. Ertrag und Wirkung sind OK, aber das Aussehen und der Kleinwuchs. Nicht mein Ding. Den Raum füllen sie in keinster Weise aus. Darum steig ich auf photoperiodischen Pflanzen um. 6 Wochen Wachstum und dann die Blüte. Das sieht dann ganz anders aus. Wir werden sehen. Die nächste Pflanze wird schon eine photoperiodsche sein. -- Ja, und was ist inzwischen aus meinen gefürchteten, aber auch verachteten, Landes-Shrek geworden. Wo ist Markus? Ist natürlich sau dumm gelaufen: Diese pathetische, aufrührerische und doch geschichtsträchtigen Rede nach der Europa-Wahl. Aber leider auch kurz vor der EM. Söder wollte ja weiter gehen. Aber leider, die Menschen hatten gar nicht mehr hingehört. Wegen der EM. Ausgerechnet jetzt, denkt sich Markus. Söder hofft jetzt, dass die Menschen nicht vergessen, dass er mit seiner CSU die Europa-Wahl haushoch gewonnen haben. Aber ich befürchte … Also ich hab das schon vergessen. Nun gut. Dumm gelaufen Markus. Das ist ja nicht seine erste Peinlichkeit dieser Art Das steckt er locker weg. Morgen reitet unsere wackere Ritter Don Qujsöder ohne Fehl und Tadel wieder gegen die bösen Windräder. Er wird die Probleme der Kernfusion lösen und die geilsten Reaktoren bauen. Er wird auf den Mond fliegen. Ja Markus, das ist deine Bestimmung. Flieg zum Mond und sei unser Mond-König. -- Leute kommt nach Bayern zum Kiffen. Hier ist was los, hier geht es in die nächste Runde. Verpasst nicht Söder bei seinem neuen Showdown: Kanzlerin oder Kanzler? Söder oder Merz. Nirgends erlebt ihr das so authentisch wie in Bayern. Und dazu die sauber Luft; die Kühe; die Blasmusik und die Dirndl. Kreiert mit uns das neue Bayern. Die Symbiose von Hippie und Wurzelsepp. Das beste aus beiden. Kreiert mit uns das Bayern 2.0 Natürlich sollen die Dirndl erhalten bleiben, darum ist es eine Kultur-Evolution, keine Kultur-Revolution. Wir bringen die bayrische Kultur auf das nächste Level. Aber nicht so ein Schwachsinn wie einst die Musikantenstadl-Show. Oder gibt’s die noch? Auf so was lächerliches kann nur von ein Konservativer kommen. Nein – es muss ehrlich sein und echt, und total bekifft. Als Anregung habe ich euch ein Bild gebastelt. So in etwa ist das gemeint. Gestaltet mit, statt nur zuzuschauen. Bleibt, bis die Mondrakete vom Englischen Garten abhebt. Streckt ihn einen brennenden Joint entgegen und ruft „Geile Aktion Markus! – Respekt!“. Kommt nach Bayern zum Kiffen. Was ihr hier seht und erlebt, werdet ihr nie mehr vergessen. -- Geiler Lüfter! ---- 18.6. JA - schon gut - ich habe es verstanden. Alphörner kommen aus der Schweiz und nicht Bayern. Gut, aber alles die selbe Familie. Überall Lederhosen, Dirndl, Blasmusik und überall wird gejodelt. Bayern, Österreich und Schweiz. Sie folgen alle der bayrischen Leitkultur. Aber ihr habt Recht, das ist zu grob. Soweit dürfen wir nicht gehen. Dann bekommen die Ureinwohner nur Angst. Bah - das sieht wirklich brutal aus. Schaut euch das gar nicht erst an. -- 19.6. Ja schon gut - Südtirol folg auch der bayrischen Leitkultur. Bella Italia. -- 22.6. Freunde, es ist der Wahnsinn, wir hatten jetzt 2 Tage mit 30°C und der neue Lüfter hat sich bestens bewährt. Zwar kann man nicht verhindern, dass die Temperatur im Zelt auf 30°C steigt, wenn der Raum, in der das Zelt steht, bereits 30°C hat. Aber weil er dann sozusagen permanent auf Alarmstufe läuft (ab 28°), kann man die Temperatur an der Raumtemperatur angleichen und der Alarm schaltet sich ab, wenn der Raum wieder unter 28° fällt. Damit der VPD-Wert nicht über 1,6 steigt, muss man schon gehörig Wasser ins Zeltpumpen. Bei 30° sind das 3 oder 4 Liter am Tag. Dafür brauche ich 2 Luftbefeuchter. Hat etwas gedauert, bis ich den Dreh heraus hatte. Aber jetzt klappt das Supi-Dupi. Ein neuer Samen ist auch schon unter der Erde. Die erste Photo-Pflanze. Ich freu mich. ✋✋✋Spoiler Alarm✋✋✋ Es ist die Critical von RQS. Die neuen 20l Töpfe sind auch gekommen. Ich finde, sie passen von der Proportion her perfekt zum Zelt. Das ergibt eine harmonische Komposition. - Richtig malerisch. Äh - gibt es eigentlich schon Ölgemälden mit einer Growbox als Motiv? Das wäre wie ein Stillleben, sehr anregend. Ich kann nicht malen, aber macht das mal einer von euch? Ich habe mir außerdem organischen Dünger bestellt. Mal sehen, wie es damit ist. ------ Ach ja, was Söder angeht, ich hoffe, ich trete keinen auf den Schlips, wenn ich über Söder her zieh? Den mag doch keiner, oder? ODER? - Sonst bist Du hier komplett falsch. Wir mögen Söder nicht Söder ist übrigens ein toller Name für einen Bösewicht, finde ich. Der Söder treibt wieder rum. - klingt gruselig. Aber Söder, das muss man zugeben, ist ein erstklassiger, toller Bösewicht. Als Bösewicht ist er mir sogar sympathisch. Schon allein das endlose Fotomaterial im Internet, dass man gegen ihn verwenden kann, wer würde sowas zulassen? Söder hat die meisten sogar selbst gepostet, ist das nicht unglaublich. Das ist natürlich wahnsinnig schlau. Wenn man über ihn lacht. - Lachen ist eine positive Empfindung. So wird er auch bekannter, weil die Bilder überall gezeigt wird. Er ist nur der Ministerpräsident eines Bundeslandes. Wer kennt schon die Ministerpräsidenten der anderen Länder? Söder kennt jeder. Er hat seine Hausaufgaben als Bösewicht gemacht. Und erst seine Reden. Knapp, auf den Punkt gebracht. Er bietet für alles ein Lösung. - Natürlich ist ER die Lösung. Selbst den Populismus verachtend, verbreitert er seine populistische Thesen. Weil Populismus, was von einem Genie kommt, ist gut. Zur Zeit steht er rum, und sobald ein Mikrophon auftaucht sagt er: "Reden; es wird immer nur geredet; Wir müssen jetzt handeln; Nicht immer nur vertagen, verschieben und bedenken; Wir müssen jetzt was tun" Ein wenig erinnert er mich an Donald Trump, als er am Kapitol zum Putsch aufrief. Nun, Söders putsch wird nicht ganz die Dimension aufweisen wie der von Trump. Aber am Ende haben sie beide die Regierung nicht gestürzt. Aber was wird Söder noch einfallen? Wie kann er Regent werden? Die Leute lieben ihn doch, oder? -- Puh, - stellt euch mal vor, Söder hätte die Chance, nach Peking zu fliegen und den Handelsstreit zwischen China und der EU bei zu legen. Er würde den ganzen Tag Purzelbäume drehen, vor Freude. Er wäre dann der Macher. Der starke Mann und knallharte Verhandler. Er wäre zweifellos der Mann, den Deutschland braucht. Es würde seinem Putsch wieder neuen Schwung geben. Und stellt euch vor, genau das ist passiert. Nur das nicht Söder nach Peking flog, sondern Habeck. Robert Habeck, denkt sich Söder, ausgerechnet dieser grüne Taugenichts mit seinen Wärmepumpen. Der doch nicht. Söder tut mir jetzt leid. Erst schreit er noch, es muss etwas getan werden, und dann fliegt Habeck nach Peking. Kann es dümmer laufen? Naja, Gott sei dank ist immer noch die EM, dann merken die Leute das vielleicht gar nicht.

Starting to see fatter buds, brown hairs, and lots of trichomes. When looking through the jewelers loop they are all still clear. Not long now for the Wedding Cheesecake. She is in the middle. This will be her last feeding. Then I will start flushing next two weeks until she is ready to harvest.

Each of the ladies looks perfectly healthy. Which makes me very happy. However, I'm a little undecided about defoliation... but the question has already been asked. I'll get an answer right away.

Outdoor coco 15g pots Progress: Lava cake is about week 6.5. Starting to ripen and get heavy. Buds are getting fat. Strong sweet cookie/ ice cream smell. Buds are getting more frosty. Buds are getting so heavy I installed a net on 3 of 4 and doing #4 soon. On my most mature plant - About 25-30% of pistils have turned color. Some trichomes are milky, none amber. Looks like plants are a few days apart. Marathon OG week 5 1/2. Still stacking and getting fat. Smells dank. Trichomes are showing up. The 20 gallon OG is growing into a monster. I’m still waiting for the heavy bud stacks…. Nutes: Bumping up ppm, the dry koolbloom and molasses, stopping regular koolbloom and grow. Looking to starting flushing the lava cake in a week or so. Feeding 2x a day; 3x on hot days. Weather: Had a good week of cooler temps until yesterday, when it was 97. Looking at hugs in the 80s this week, perfect. Pests: The moths and caterpillars are in full swing so I’m applying BT every morning. I’m working hard to reduce caterpillar 🐛 losses. We lost all of the top colas on a plant in another location 💔 . I’m only losing one bud at a time and not the entire colas so far. Wishing fat buds and monster harvests to all.

Lemon Cherry is smelling amazing, they look as though they should finish quick, but I'll try to hold harvest until late this time. Not doing any special treatments, feeding nuts about once a week full biobizz schedule and taking down sick leaves. AK will probably finish last, looking very pretty.

Sigo pulverizando cada dia un par o tres veces con agua destilada y regando a ojo las que voy viendo secas cada dos más o menos. No son ciencias exactas y unas demandan más o menos segun fenotipo , el sitio donde están dentro del armario, por el riego anterior por si fué excesivo o insuficiente, etc etc . La idea es regar cuando veo que lo necesitan. regar y dejar secar. A mitad de semana las cambié a maceta de 5,5L téxtil y las pasé bajo los COB , 4 cri97 4000K y 5cri 97 2700K ,250W áprox. En estos momentos aumento el riego a 500ml por planta cada dos dias áprox. según. Armario de doble capa de DM con aislante y las medidas serian 76x76x180. El armario está fuera de casa por lo que tengo que luchar contra las inclemencias meteorológicas añadiendo un par o tres de calefactores de 80W. en momentos de mucho frio o aumentar caudal de extracción y tiempo de ventilador cuando hace mucho calor. Los calefactores van con sensor de temperatura graduado para que el sustrato se mantenga a 20- 22ºC áprox Esta semana empiezo a regar con agua del grifo , de base 0.4 áprox. y 6´5 de PH.

May 10, 2024 A new week and more flushing. Both ladies look really good. Tropicana C is way too heavy for her branches. It's good and bad. It's bad because they are flopping all over. And it shows how weak these tops are. It had to be my nutrient regimen. It's good because it shows the buds are dense and heavy. Tropicana Cookies has significantly stronger branches and can hold a lot of weight for the size of the buds. I could just be a tight fit with all the buds up and down each top. Who knows. They are starting to lean a little bit, but not too bad. Her buds are almost all purple top to bottom and the leaves are getting lighter and lighter throughout the plant. She's covered in trichomes. From what I can see, there's not nearly enough amber trichomes on the buds. Very soon though. I reactivated her wick system today. Her container was about half the weight as it was yesterday. Maybe now that it's not saturated anymore, the wick system will provide what it needs. We shall see later today I think. The lighting for some of this week will stay the same. I'm just waiting for the other 2 plants in the tent to start their flush. Then I'll drop the power down some. Most likely to a DLI of 36 mol/m²/d. We shall see. I'm also curious if it will actually do anything. They are autoflowers and light doesn't really mean much. Just as long as it's on and the right DLI, it should be fine, right? Anyway, I'll drop it when the flush starts anyway. I want to see what happens. The environment is looking a little better. The humidity is lower at 54%, but still way too high. At least it's below 60% finally. But 54% isn't much better. The temperature is pretty good at 76° during the day and 67° at night. I still can't get it down to 66° at night, so 67° will have to suffice. However, there is about a 10° difference between lights out and lights on. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.1° RH: 54.2% VPD: 1.29 kPa May 11, 2024 Watering day! Last watering of the grow. I'll let them dry out from now on. It should be like 4 days before they are dried out. Tropicana Cookies looks so close to being done. Her fade is spreading and I'm guessing another 3 days? Maybe less. There is so much more purple now. Ite absolutely beautiful. She definitely will need a trichome check daily. Tropicana C has started showing purple finally. I'd give her another 5 days, maybe a week. I honestly cannot tell. I'll check trichomes tomorrow and every day afterward. Her buds are definitely getting heavier and some even look fatter. She's definitely not quite ready, but super close. The light power will be dropped in a couple days down to a DLI of 36 mol/m²/d. Not much else for that. The environment is still kind of a mess. The temp is fine at 75°, but the humidity is still high at 55%. I even got the temp down to 66°. So that's good. I'd like to keep it there for the rest of the grow. I'll also try to drop the temp during the day to help bring out more color. It will also help with keeping the temp low during the drying period. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.0° RH: 53.6% VPD: 1.27 kPa Update: I ended up checking the trichomes anyway, and i think I know when they will be done. Just an estimate, but I think a good one. Anyway, Tropicana Cookies should be done in about 3 days while Tropicana C should take about 5 days. I may wait and harvest both at the same time. Or in between and harvest them in 4 days. Tropicana Cookies just needs more amber trichomes. They are almost all cloudy. Very few clear, but only about 5% amber. Tropicana C on the other hand, has a bit too many clear trichomes and no where near enough amber. 5 days should do it. 4 might be a little early, but that might be the only option. We shall see in 4 days. May 12, 2024 Not much going on today. Tropicana Cookies had a soaked bottom again, so I removed 1 of the wicks. So there should be about half the water going in now. She's definitely not thirsty. So very close. Anyway, she is fading quite nicely and I think she will have a whole bunch of beautiful colors. Lots of purple and some nicely fading fan leaves. Light greens, yellows a tiny bit of red. But not there yet. Tropicana C did not have a soaked bottom today. She never does. It just tells me she is still thirsty. Which also tells me she still has some time left. Maybe 4 to 5 days, but I may harvest her in 3 to 4 days. It all depends on how she looks. I got some trichome pics today. Just one for each plant, but they were the best I could get so there you have it. Anyway, Tropicana Cookies looks very close. More amber trichomes, more cloudy and much less clear. Tropicana C still has a bit too many clear, but definitely has more cloudy. Not too many amber, but more than yesterday. I still plan to drop the DLI down to 36 mol/m²/d in a day or two. It won't really matter, but it's still important to note. It's for the other plants in the tent. The environment is a lost cause. I can still control the temp, but the humidity is still at 57%. I have the temp at 77°, but I think I'm going to drop it down to 74°. I don't think the humidity will go up with the temp change. And if it does, back up to 77°. I'll probably get the 74° mark, so all good. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.9° RH: 55.6% VPD: 1.25 kPa May 13, 2024 Not much going on today. I checked trichomes and I think I'm going to harvest when Tropicana C is done. She should be done in a couple of days. Maybe 3 to 4? Maybe less? I'm supposed to be harvesting tomorrow, but I'm not sure I will. I'll check the trichomes again tomorrow, but both are there. Just a little bit more. Not too much longer though. I have 4 more plants ready to come in like ASAP. Anyway, the trichomes on Tropicana C are mostly cloudy now, with a few clear and more amber. Maybe 8% to 10%. Just a bit more. Tropicana Cookies is a bit further with next to no clear trichomes and the same amber as her sister. Roughly 8% to 10%. She will definitely be done either tomorrow or the next day. So I think it makes more sense to focus mostly on Tropicana C for harvest time. I really don't want to harvest an indica too early. Not to mention, the purple is coming through really quickly for Tropicana C. Tropicana Cookies has almost all purple buds. The very bottom of the plant still has mostly green with purple coming through just a bit. It's more like pink than purple. But the majority of the bud is green. These are the underdeveloped buds. Not even worth of popcorn I think. That stuff will become concentrate. The light intensity will be dropped tonight down to a DLI of 36 mol/m²/d. Kind of pointless for the last couple days, but it needs to be done. The environment is driving me crazy. I can keep the temp at 74°, but then the humidity goes up to 58%. Much too high. Even opening the tent door only drops the humidity down to 52%. I'm going to need to drop the humidity in my room down to 35% somehow and maybe I'll get below 50%. This is ridiculous. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.4° RH: 56.2% VPD: 1.24 kPa Update: I ordered a new dehumidifier for grow tents today. It should be here tomorrow. I'm guessing a lot of my problem with the humidity is my current dehumidifier. It barely pushes air. Cheap and well used. The new one is from Vivosun. A much more reputable company. May 14, 2024 Trichome day! Took a couple videos. The videos are kind of crappy. I hurt my back so I'm shaky. I removed the wick system completely from both plants. Tropicana Cookies was yet again soaked. Not as bad with just the one wick, but still soaked. Anyway, I pulled the wicks and emptied the reservoirs. Maybe that will help with the humidity. They should both be dried out in a few days. Just in time for harvest. Tropicana Cookies looks wonderful! Her buds are nearly black, with nearly black leaves. It's the darkest strain I've ever grown. Insane. She still has a day or 2 left to go. There's trichomes, but not enough. Hopefully 2 days will do it. Trichomes are mostly cloudy, a little bit of clear and not enough amber. Tropicana C is right behind her sister plant in the dark purple color. Her flowers and sugar leaves are getting super dark. Fan leaves are lights ing up, but not fading. I have a feeling she is going to need longer than I have been estimating. I also have a major issue with the side branches all around the plant. They are just laying down. Buds completely facing down. The branches are also super weak. I don't understand what happened. Back to trichomes. There's like 20% clear still and nowhere near enough amber. The lower light intensity doesn't seem to being doing anything, but I'm sure it's preserving the trichomes. Maybe even helping along the plants to finish up. The environment is still a nightmare. The temp is still fine, but the humidity is stuck at 60% again. The humidity in my room is higher than outside. I have the door open to help drop it, but it's not helping with the tent humidity. I have no idea how environmental science works. Lol. I wonder if I defoliate both plants a couple days early, what will happen. Wouldn't it put all of its energy into the buds and increase trichome production, like a last push? I'll research this and decided what to do by tonight. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.3° RH: 59.2% VPD: 1.15 kPa May 15, 2024 Nothing going on today. Both ladies are about halfway there before completely drying out. I'd say another 2 days. I was going to harvest tomorrow, but I checked the trichomes and they still aren't there yet. Plus, I think the other 4 waiting to get in the tent still have time to veg before they overwhelm their containers. One of them is very close, but I don't think she will be a problem in the next 2 days. Plus I can always train her down. Tropicana Cookies is starting to lean more. Her branches aren't quite falling over, but they are definitely getting weighed down. She seems to have basically stopped fading. Still a lot of green leaves, but each top is essentially all dark purple. So this may be it for fading. Now I can only wait for her to ripen up. Hopefully 2 more days. I really can't push it that much further. Tropicana C is still behind her sister by a bit. Not much, but enough for me to be concerned about harvesting them together in 2 days. I guess I'll see how the 4 other plants are doing in 2 days. Maybe I'll wait 3. Who knows at this point. It's been 7 weeks, so it should be any day. I think the light intensity is making the smell stronger. Less intense light is keeping the trichomes nice and plump and filling with cannabinoids. So maybe it was a great idea to drop he intensity. The environment is still kicking my ass. I can't get the humidity to drop below 60% and now I don't have much control over the temp It's stuck at 73°. Not bad for this stage, but it's killing the VPD. It needs to be at like 1.5 kPa, but it's at 1.00 kPa. Super bad. No good. The night temp is still too high. The average last night was 69.1°. Much too warm for night temps. Maybe that's what is taking Tropicana C to turn purple. She's getting there definitely and should be the same color as her sister. They are the same phenotype after all. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.9° RH: 63.0% VPD: 1.00 kPa May 16, 2024 The final day of the week and I think I need to harvest these 2 tomorrow. The 4 Sour Diesels I have in my 2x2 tent are starting to get bigger and will need more space very soon. Not to mention, they are in my 2x2 tent I use for drying. Tropicana Cookies is basically done. I didn't check her trichomes today, but all the buds top to bottom are purple. Lighter purple in the lowers, but those are popcorn and larf, so I'm not so worried. She also seems to have stopped fading. She's nearly dried out now. Probably tomorrow right when I need to harvest. Tropicana C on the other hand has her trichomes looked at today. Made a video and took a pic from it. Anyway, the trichomes are much more cloudy now and maybe 7% amber. She should go a few more days, but I still have the dilemma of the other plants. I guess it all depends on how they look tomorrow I guess. She hasn't started fading yet, but more purple is showing up everyday. That's another reason I think she could go a few more days. She still hasn't even begun to fade. She's about half dry, but if I have to, I'll add a half gallon of plain water tomorrow to see if she fades at all. I may have to harvest Tropicana Cookies tomorrow and then Tropicana C a few days later. I should be able to fit 4 more 3 gallon containers in the 3x3 with just the one plant gone. It'll be tight and I'll need to Tetris the shit out of it, but I think I can manage. One thing I haven't thought about until now is drying itself. If I have to harvest separately, the 2 to 3 day difference will mess up the dry for the first one harvested. I think? Maybe not. I have a plan. Instead of hanging them next to each other, I'm going to hang them on top of each other. So the first will be Tropicana Cookies on top and later in Tropicana C on the bottom. Theoretically, with this setup, I could control the humidity a bit better. When Tropicana Cookies is nearly done and needs the extra humidity for that even dry, Tropicana C will have brought it back in and I should be able to hold it around 60% for the rest of the drying time for both plants. Lighting doesn't matter anymore. It's served it's purpose and I could technically take one out now for a 2 day dark period before harvest. But if anything, I'll wait for tomorrow. I honestly didn't think about the dark period until now. Haha. Whoops. That may just solve problem entirely. I don't have to wait for harvest time. My other plants won't get too big and I can put them in the 3x3 more comfortably. I can also harvest both plants at the same time. Or, if I have room, I can place Tropicana C in the dry tent on the bottom while Tropicana Cookies gets hung up. I don't think there's enough space though. Anyway, I think the best course of action is to put Tropicana Cookies in the dry tent for a 2 day dark period and harvest both when Tropicana C is ready. Then I can see if there's a difference between lights all the way to harvest or dark for 2 days. Fun! The environment is the bane of my existence. The new dehumidifier is definitely stronger than the old one and more compact. I even left the old one in there as well. Both running at the same time can only drop the humidity to a solid 60%, but my room is 63% and I can't do anything about it. I also have the tent completely sealed off. I think it's helping to keep the humidity from climbing to 65% or 70%. I have the temp up a bit to 76° and 77°. Just to help a smidge with the DLI. The only thing I have an advantage with is my ari flow and spread canopy. There's 2 fans blowing around air and the exhaust. It should help prevent mold or bud rot, but with such high humidity for days, I can only imagine something bad is happening. Maybe not bud rot or mold, but the chemical composition of the buds? I dunno. I haven't learned that much. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.8° RH: 62.8% VPD: 1.07 kPa

🌸 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.
