Taking it day by day. I think the power going out for the few days it did messed with her. Bucket is getting smelly and looks like the roots are getting root rot... but hopefully I can combat it. Maybe need to get a bigger airstone.. hopefully the one I ordered from Amazon actually shows up.. Ac Infinity tent and in-line fan will be in today! 😬Thanks for stopping by. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

5/4 Her first set of true leaves are coming in. So I guess I will call her in the vegetation stage. Skywalker was such a sweet child growing up. Haha. She had a bit of a rough start. Her shell was stuck on and she had some cold nights. She was supposed to be an outdoor plant and still may end up out there. Popped her a bit to early for the northeast. She really seems to love the spider farmer se3000. I do prefer growing under the sun. Other than that she has good color and is starting to pack on some height. 5/5 she is moving along. Turned the light up to 70 dim. She how she likes that. She is sharing the light with a younger cheese auto that is not ready for more power 5/6 life has been hard on this little girl. Turned the light up to 70 dim and she got burned. She is still growing at a good pace. Her single leaves got torched a bit, I think she will be fine. 5/7 she is happy I turned the light down. Growing well. 5/10 bent her over today, lst. Maybe a little early. Her 3rd node is out and she has branches showing. She had some sun the first few days after breaking ground. She will probably spend most of her time outside. The weather is supposed to be in the 70s for a while. Giving her a few hours of sun today then back under the light. This strain is supposed to be pungent. We shall see. This is my first mesphito grow.

I harvested a little early on this plant in order to achieve a more cerebral high, and boy did I achieve it. I've always smoked hybrids before and not thought anything of it, usually they feel like whatever genotype they're dominant in however I believe that by harvesting this strain - which is an indica dominant hybrid, a bit earlier; I've achieved more of a cerebral sativa effect while maintaining the qualities of an indica high. A good way to describe the effects of this strain is a feeling of being couch locked inside of ones own mind.

🌸 Lava Cake – Week 7 Flower (Harvest Special) 🌸 This week marks a major milestone in the Lava Cake journey: we harvested phenotype two, who had been affected by bud rot. Bud rot may have tried to take the best from us, but we didn’t allow it. Every infected part was carefully removed, and the remaining healthy plant was harvested and is now drying as a whole plant under controlled conditions. ⸻ 🙏 Apologies & Context We know this is technically a flower week update, but due to the new updates on Grow Diaries and the desire to share photos, videos, and the story of this harvest so we’re combining the harvest with the flower week report. We apologize for any confusion — this is the only way to fully document and expose all that’s happening, and to make sure the lessons, successes, and challenges are visible for everyone following along. The next report will be the official “Harvest Report”, covering: • Drying & trimming process • Curing updates • Smoke review ⸻ 🌿 Quick Recap – From Seed to Here • Germination: Smooth in the Cannakan with Aptus Regulator & Start Booster, 3 seeds, 2 kept. • Vegetative Stage: Robust growth under Black Series 600 LED and later ThinkGrow & Lumatek LEDs. Root development and early structure supported with Aptus super soil and micro/macro mixes. • Transplant: Into 11L fabric pots, carefully monitored environment, roots thriving. • Early Flower: Weeks 1–4 brought thick white hairs, dense colas, and heavy branching. Nutrient support included Aptus Regulator, CalMag Boost, Plagron boosters, and All-in-One Liquid. • Mid Flower & Challenges: Week 5–6 showed signs of bud rot. Lava Cake #2 needed early harvest; Lava Cake #1 continues to swell and thrive. Through all of this, the Lava Cakes proved their resilience and quality, showing that even under stress, their genetics shine beautifully. ⸻ 🌱 Week 7 – Harvest Details • Bud Rot Management: All infected material removed and disposed of immediately. • Harvest Technique: Whole plant harvested, inspected, and prepared for controlled drying. • Drying: Slow, careful drying in a separate, stable environment to preserve aroma, terpenes, and cannabinoids while minimizing risk. Even though bud rot forced an early cut, the flowers are still dense, fragrant, and high quality. Their resilience and beauty deserve celebration. ⸻ 🔬 Educational Notes • Bud rot prevention & learning: This week reinforces how crucial airflow, humidity management, and daily inspection are during dense flower stages. • Whole-plant drying: Allows moisture to equalize gradually between stems and buds, preserving terpenes and flavonoids while keeping the product safe. • Environmental awareness: Temperature spikes, stagnant airflow, or dense canopy zones can quickly create pockets for mold — constant monitoring is essential. ⸻ 🌟 Closing Thoughts Week 7 is about resilience, lessons, and triumph over challenges. The Lava Cakes showed their strength even under pressure but needed to be harvested early, so we did it, no fears this is the only way and the way to save the rest of the closet sharing girls We want to celebrate the journey, from seed to harvest, and thank everyone following along for learning and growing with us. The next report will focus entirely on drying, trimming, and tasting — the final step where we get to enjoy the fruits of all the care, attention, and love put into these girls. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Trust me, you won’t want to miss the next steps, let’s push the boundaries of indoor horticulture together! As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together. With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 P.S. – Heavy Fruits & Harvest Decision One of the key reasons we decided to harvest Lava Cake #1 this week was how heavy the colas had become. The flowers were so dense and weighty that some branches were starting to bend, snap, and strain under the load. While this is a testament to the plant’s vigor and genetics, it also increased the risk of further bud rot and damage, making an early, careful harvest the safest and most sensible choice. Even under pressure, these girls delivered impressive structure, weight, and resin coverage, proving their strength and quality until the very last moment. Thank you all for being here with me, see you all on the next report, Growers Love to All and never stop believing 🙏🙏🙏

Hi guys So start of week 4 and I just put the screen up, so now I will be vegging until it hits the net and is filling 80%. This week I will top the plants and hopefully get the nodes to stretch. I have put the dog eaten plant in a small cup in the auto room potential mother? Room is 62% humidity and 28°c I have started bottom feeding these today so time will tell how they react, still only on root juice from biobizz I will add nitrogen possibly end of week see how they grow. Happy growing peoples 💚👌💪

1/11/2025 17:10 11.4°C 70%RH It's fucking cold outside,at least last days were sunny but every sunrise was so foggy until 8:00 when the sun Is high enough to make everything visible This means i cannot grow weed outside anymore,the more days i wait the more bud rot i find Plants still looks pretty good especially Coco fresh,i only found a flower that looked weird and i found out a very little tiny piece of mold Video #1 Coco Milk 105 days from seed Last video before harvest ,the smell is crazy but sadly i found some mold I will post more details in the harvest section Video #2 Coco fresh 93 days from seed This one Is getting heavy and looks like she loves cold climate,rippening very fast and smelling strong Not strong like her sister but more cali terps,runtz lineage coming out more as we are near the end Trichomes are now whitening with less than 5% of amber and a lot of trasparent ones Probably this plant will start molding with foggy days like this but i will wait until some more amber decide to appear Next time the very end of this guerrilla grow journey,maybe 6 or 7 november which Is a lot later than i ecpected

Week 4, 22/3/2020 - 29/3/2020, as seen in the pics the growth since last week was tremendous. She's gained 4 times her mass and she very healthy. Of course increased the nutrient strength this week and the watering. This week will water 4 times per day for 45 mins each time.

Moin, 8. Blütewoche ist um und verlief ohne nennenswerte Probleme. Die Buds sind voll mit milchigen Trichomen und glänzen ihrem Ende entgegen. Über die letzten Wochen hat sich immer mehr lila in die Blätter und Buds eingeschlichen bis diese am Ende der Blütewoche lila, fast schwarz sind! Wirklich ein sehr schöner Strain, die Terps sind auch top auch wenn ich mir etwas mehr süße erhofft habe. Generell würde ich den Geruch als sehr Gasy einordnen und süß einordnen. Den Ec habe ich nach und nach auf 1,4 abgesenkt, geflusht wurde aber nicht! Da ich persönlich am liebsten meine Trichome milchig mag und weniger bernsteinfarbig, wird dieses Wochenende geerntet.

19.11. day 29. Hallo Leute. Die LeM ist etwas gebremst durch 25 w/h Blaulicht. Lässt sich aber nicht aufhalten. Die Strawberry.... Ist nicht in Blüte, aber explodiert an trieben . 20.11. Armes Strawberry. So klein wie sie ist gab es HST. Alles gequetscht, gedreht, gebrochen. Das darf Mann ruhig hören. Jetzt hängt sie etwas durch . Egal in 7 Tagen wird das nochmal wiederholt. 21.11. so Leute der Stamm der LeMellon ist schön Dick. Erst Recht für day 31. Und die Strawberry ist nicht in Blüte. Sweet Seeds gibt Tag 40 als Blüte an . Bin Mal gespannt. 24.11. Strawberry Cola Sherbet F1 . Wie gut ist denn Sweet Seeds? Ich hatte bereits ne Red Poison. Die war ECHT gut . Day 34 . Sie ist nicht in Blüte trotz 7 Tagen 12-12. Was haben die da reingebaut ? Ruderalis so gut getimet das die egal wie nach 40 Tagen erst in Blüte geht? Echt? Das will ich wissen. Cannabis ist und bleibt spannend. Vor allem die neueren Sorten.

FERMAKOR BARREL MIX – BASE IN USE (Testing on the Fantasy Feast girl we pulled out of another diary https://growdiaries.com/diaries/274722-grow-journal-by-yan402 ) (FERMAKOR BASE SYSTEM KOH VERSION diary https://growdiaries.com/diaries/278391-grow-journal-by-yan402) (Urea & Micros on the way — first week running without them) 🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶 💧 30 L Barrel – Current Working Mix 🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶 Step 1 – Calcium Nitrate (Part A) 7 L warm water (~35–40 °C) → added 45 g Calcinit, stirred until fully clear. That’s the calcium + nitrogen backbone for the feed. Step 2 – FERMAKOR PK Base (Part B) 15 L water in the main barrel → added 30 ml FERMAKOR PK Concentrate, mixed well. This forms the main P + K part of the formula. Step 3 – Combine Solutions Slowly poured the Calcinit mix into the barrel while stirring — no reaction, still crystal clear. That confirms the mix is stable and precipitation-free. 🌿 Step 4 – FPJ / FFJ Batch Added 30 ml homemade FPJ (fish + veg batch) ≈ 1 ml/L. Color shifted to a light-amber tone — looks alive and active. 🍋 Step 5 – Citric Acid Balance Added 1 tsp citric acid after everything was blended to fine-tune pH and help chelate micros later on. 📦 Step 6 – Top Up & Check Filled to the 30 L mark with plain water → pH tested with drops, showing yellow-green — roughly 5.8 – 6.0 range. Nice clean look, stable smell, no residue. 💧 Current Base Ingredients (Active Mix) Warm Water ≈ 22 L total Calcinit 45 g → N + Ca foundation FERMAKOR PK Base 30 ml → P + K support Citric Acid 1 tsp → Chelation + pH balance FPJ / Fish Emulsion 30 ml → Organic enzyme booster Result: clean amber mix, mild and balanced.

Day 74 - Cheese - Been watering with only clean ph every 3-4 days and watching the trichomes. They're mostly cloudy with no amber. Just gonna keep watching and letting it swell. Super Lemon Haze - Buds are coming in nicely. Purple leaves coming in near the top. Gets cold in the basement at night, so I'm not surprised with a bit of colour change. The tip burn doesn't seem to be moving too fast on the leaves it effected and the rest of the growth is coming in nicely. I Think there should be only a few weeks left now, so probably one more nutrient feed and onto flush as well. End of week 11 - For my first grow, I've already made it far past my expectations. Love growing and love these plants. Stay tuned for cheese harvest!
