🌿 Lava Cake – Week 5 (First Week Flower) | Pre-Bloom & Heat Talk 🌿 The Lava Cakes have officially stepped into their flowering tent… though, to be fair, they’re still enjoying a little extra veg time before showing pistils. Both phenos are healthy, lush, and stretching beautifully, clearly ready for the show ahead. ⸻ 📸 Photo Studio Glam We took them out for another studio shoot, bright lights, clean background, and every angle showing off their deep greens and perfect branching. Soon, their beauty will be dressed in flowers, but for now, the leaf structure alone is worthy of the spotlight. ⸻ 🌡️ Current Conditions • Room Temp: 31°C • Humidity: 50.3% • VPD: 2.23 kPa • PPFD: 766 µmol/m²/s • Soil EC: ~2.0 • Soil Temp: 25.6°C Yes, the temperature is running hot — AC unit is on the way to lock it back into our ideal zone. ⸻ 💬 Heat in the Grow Room – Risks & Benefits Potential Risks: • Faster substrate drying = more frequent irrigation needed • Higher transpiration rates can stress plants if roots can’t keep up • Slightly increased risk of light stress at high PPFD without proper cooling • Possible reduced terpene retention if sustained into late flower Possible Benefits (short term in veg/pre-flower): • Accelerated metabolism — plants grow and stretch faster • Increased water/nutrient uptake (if well-fed and watered on time) • Can improve CO₂ usage efficiency if levels are high enough Bottom line: As long as they’re hydrated, fed, and ventilated, short bursts of high temp are manageable. But for flowering, we want to keep daytime temps closer to 24–28°C for optimal quality. ⸻ 💧 Watering Strategy We water when the soil dries to about 25% moisture remaining, this encourages: • Stronger root growth searching for water • Better oxygenation of the root zone • Less risk of root rot in warm temps Right now: They’re drinking daily due to the heat, so we’re feeding daily as well. ⸻ Current Feeding (per L of water) • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml • Aptus All-in-One Liquid – 1 ml • Aptus Top Booster – 0.25 ml With the increased drinking rate, nutrient uptake has increased — meaning no signs of deficiency, just steady lush green. ⸻ 🚀 Looking Ahead • AC installation will stabilize temps, allowing tighter VPD control • First signs of pistils should appear within the next 7–10 days • We’ll begin adjusting feed ratios for early bloom once flowers set • Light intensity will climb further as stretch continues ⸻ 💚 Closing Note: This week is all about momentum, heat or no heat, the Lava Cakes are pushing upward, prepping themselves for a heavy flower load. The environment tweaks are on the way, and we’re building them the perfect stage for their bloom performance. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

These girls are in full flower in week 5. They stayed the typical size of an auto. The two were seperated in anticipation but clearly it may have been unnecessary

I guess I can't put it off any longer.... This plant officially needs some yoyos. She can no longer hold herself up, and I have too many colas leaning against the wall. These buds are exquisite! The contrast of the trichomes against the purple bud is stunning! I want to make it my mission to grow all the purple FastBuds strains! They're just breathtaking! The smell in this tent is phenomenal. If only I could upload the smell! 🍇🍇🍇

8th week! "We don't reccomend topping an autoflowering strain" they said.

Day98 Harvest Day 14.07.2025

About 3 days until harvest . Looking fat and frosty . The tri-combs are mostly a milky color with a few amber .

Finally got my blue dream from seedsman. Winner of the contest seeds of knowledge Here it is finally growing this beautiful lady I gotta say this one was almost broken, it arrived very well but since it was hidden as requested when I open the box with a razor to take out the seeds Packs my bad accidentally cut a tiny side of the seed Shell which I noticed and place into germination and now she is here with us and we are very happy to welcome her to our family Day 1 Tuesday Place into germination Fully at dark until next morning from 8AM Started to get light since she is a photoperiod At the end of the Day went and hid it in a box very well so its dark Day 2 Same process took her out and start again sunny Day for her indoors of course Day 3 Thursday finally got her showing its cotyledons doing the same process :3 And im guessing it goes with the sun At the end of the Day got to give her enough darkness she is a feminized seeds which I have to make her flower after idk some time so I will try and see how much she can grow and get STRESS for yield and potency, thanks a lot for your support Happy Friday btw 👽🌱 **** DAY 5 My girl is a monster and needs to recover Taproot was coming out of peatmoss and I didnt even notice so had to transplant to a Bigger pot soon, since she is not an auto she is way too fast cuz taproot was out in the bottom so I had to take the net out of the Peat moss so roots van expand comfortably but accidentally broke the tiny edge while sliding with lil to no pressure and it sucks but it was stuck and it was either that or just plant it like that but well probably I should have left her be but anyways she is young I think she will develop more since she is in a better soil mix now than just Peat moss, wish me luck cuz I really hope she is better and gets to grow huge, we will see at the process right This is whats all about Lets do our best tho We will! Enjoy & happy growing everyone ☺️

The Gelato OG from seedsman is a monster to only be 42 days old not sure if I just got a good pheno or what happened but compared to the other gelato beside it from the same bag it looks like a completely different plant! Can’t wait to see how the buds turn out!

I harvested my pollen sacks plant looks healthy at this point I dont feed till harvest just water every 3-4 days. think o got 21 more days to go b4 harvest but until then I'm just checking out my trichomes so that I dont harvest to late .....one love and dont forget weed is love so share the love with those you know .......

Madame se porte bien, légère baisse de croissance depuis le changement de tente et ainsi une carence/excès que j’arrive pas à identifier mais ce n’est pas très grave dans l’ensemble J’ai fait un peux de bondage pour écarter les apex et commencer à lui donner la forme que je veux Faudra que le lui mette un humidificateur pour améliorer le vpd et un ventilateur pour lui apporter de l’air frais Ça va devenir un bon gros buisson à l’avenir!

Just starting , This is my soil mix! Only took two days to break soil pretty sweet!!

End of week 7 in bloom (photos and videos are from day 49) and things are going well so far. I have some yellow leaves in the buds, that i have to remove tomorrow. I water every 4 days and i topped up the pots with soil yesterday. Colas are getting thick and fat and for sure are tall! Depending on their position in the tent, colas are from 35 to 70 cm in heght. In terms of quantity, i think i have about 80-90 big colas in the 2,2 square meters tent so it is possible to achieve an outstanding harvest! We will see!

another sucessfull week of just sitting here not growing much but still staying alive just waiting on a place to grow. I have some that will be finished next week, so harvest, clean and reset for the pot patch 2023 and grow this baby out for the contest.

🌿 Growth & Development This week, the plants showed steady growth, with strong lateral branching and healthy leaf development. The canopy is filling out well, and I’m keeping an eye on structure to ensure even light distribution. 💧 Feeding & Nutrients The three nutrient lines (BioBizz, Green House Feeding, and Advanced Nutrients) are showing some early differences in growth rate and leaf color. BioBizz (BB#1): A bit more compact, deep green leaves, good root structure. Advanced Nutrients (AN#3 & AN#4): Faster stretch, slightly lighter green, but vigorous growth. 🌞 Environment & Conditions Temperature: Holding steady at 24-26°C during the day, 20°C at night. Humidity: Around 55-60%, keeping VPD in check. Lights: Running at 75% power, maintaining a 35 cm distance from the canopy. 🌱 Training & Maintenance Defoliation: Minor leaf tucking, removing a few lower fan leaves to improve airflow. LST (Low-Stress Training): Slight bending to encourage an even canopy. Watering Schedule: Every 2-3 days, depending on pot dryness. 🔍 Observations & Adjustments No major issues, no pests or deficiencies spotted. Advanced Nutrients plants are drinking slightly more, adjusting watering amounts. Next week, I might increase nutrient strength slightly for more growth. Excited to see how the nutrient differences develop in the next phase! Let’s keep it growing! 🚀🌱
