Hi guys, so were in week 5 now, (week 2 of flower) this girl has got big, she's growing really fast and ive had no issues, until now, slight nutrient burn, but that's my fault. I haven't LST 'D her until now, i havent needed to, she grew like this any way, ive starpped some of the branches down to let more light through the canopy. I'll update in a week. Thanks for reading, feel free to check out my other diaries and leave me a like, maybe even a follow. Stay high stay fly. #420everyday

These buds look so yumyum. Ze heeft niet lang meer te gaan. Ze ruikt aangenaam sterk spicy. Ik laat haar nog iets rijper worden, heb nog geen amberkleurige trichomen kunnen spotten. Verse foto's zullen volgen.

i will up date weight when i have finished trimming

Week 4 of flower 8/30/24 Defoliated a little for all the tops to get maximum light exposure. Some strange marking started to appear on some of the leaves. The problem was a very high salts buildup in the coco because I watered with almost no drainage for a couple of days. EC 3, in the drainage. PH was a little high but still at normal range. Watered with a diluted nutrient solution with H2O2 (2.5ml a gallon). Waited a couple of hours and watered with nutrients again same day without the H2O2 (usually I water once daily at the start of the 12 light cycle). EC got lower to 1.6 and on the following days it got lower even more to 1.3. The plant seems happy and there is damage only on some parts of the leaves/branches. (seems like the salt buildup was only in some areas of the roots because only specific ares of the plant got damaged.) I like to see the daily progress in mass and trichome production :) Noticed the plant mass increasing daily. The smell intensified a bit I grabbed the leaves I defoliated, rubbed the trichomes to release the oils and the smell was just incredible, It is not fully developed yet so I cannot put my finger on the most dominant terpenes, but I can surely tell the smell of tropical fruits mixed with sweet candy notes are something mega pleasant. Watering with nutrients daily (mama likes to drink a lot).

🌸 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.

Week 10 (27/03 - 02/04) During the past week the blue cheese started to change the colors of pistils into brown. All plants seem to be healthy and next to the end. During the past week I bought an iHub power strip in order to change my self-made control system, but at this time the iHub app is far useless; it often loses the settings and it randomly turns off/on the outlets. I hope that Mars Hydro will fix these bugs soon, it is annoying considering that the power strip is sturdy and well built as the rest of their products but the app that should control everything it isn't. During this week I'll change the nutrients to plants and I'll check the trichomes. 27/03 D64: - 28/03 D65: one liter of tap water each @ pH 6.3. Trichomes check: majority are cloudy, especially on two fat bananas, few amber 29/03 D66: one liter of tap water each @ pH 6.2 30/03 D67: one liter of tap water each @ pH 6.0 31/03 D68: one liter of tap water each @ pH 6.2. Trichomes check: Fat banana #2 has almost all trichomes cloudy and few amber; Fat banana #1 has majority cloudy, very few amber; Blue cheese has cloudy and few crystal 01/04 D69: one liter of tap water each @ pH 6.3 02/04 D70: -

Inizia la fioritura !! Ho cambiato il timer in 12/12 on off ed il giorno dopo già ha preso centimetri . Parte bene questa fase! Per aumentare la penetrazione della luce ho tagliato qualche foglia senza esagerare. Continuiamo così 🙏💪

Heat stress temperature outside getting to high

Week 14, Week 14 was the last week before Harvest/Havrest! I flushed the plant and trimmed her a bit before harvest. I hope you all enjoy the videos and the pics!

Encarando ya la recta final. Calculo que en una semana y unos pocos días más cómo mucho cortaré. Al principio de semana di su última comida con Ec baja y a mitad de esta hice el lavado de raíces, drenando un agua con Ec ya aceptable, con lo que presagio que va a tener buen nivel de sabor. Les estoy haciendo pasar ya bastante frío, buscando un extra de resina; con lo que se está llenando de colores. Estaba un tanto preocupado con los cogollos porque no los notaba demasiado apretados, pero en esta semana lo han hecho y mucho. Espero esta semana terminen de apretar como rocas. Comienza la cuenta atrás, tic tac, tic tac…

They’re Growing Great just watered and top dressed with Dr Earth 4-6-3, 3 tbs per plant (week 11 from seed)

Third week still good on 200 wt power led but going back 250 soon

All plants are doing INCREDIBLE, the buds are swelling up and on each branch huge colas start to form. The amount of flower production under the Q6W-Gen.2 LED-lamps (now dimmed to 100% at a distance of 60 cm) is INSANE and all flowers are gleaming with trichomes. The plants are sticky as hell and they smell like crazy. The Shiva Skunk has a sweet, musky aroma with hints of citrus, while the Serious Kush is getting danker every day, it has a PUNGENT GASSY SMELL...I LOVE IT! 😍 The first pistils on the buds start to get brown, which is a sign that they are ripening and that the moment of harvest is getting closer. I cant wait!

Giorno 1 tra 4 giorni effettuerò il taglio della parte superiore. annaffiata con 2L di acqua Giorno 5 taglio parte superiore della pianta

—SETUP— .BOSSLED LED 1800W full spectrum, real power consumption is +-250W. .Grow space 60X100X200(a simple shower box. .AN nutes and other simple additives. .Grow medium is 60% peat, 30% perlite, 10% organic correction(worm castings), 5 gallon fabric pots(18l). —BRIEF— Hi there, I have tried already done this genetic outdoors, in poor lighting and a general purpose nute from Neudorff, yielded 25g dry, in 3gallon pots same medium. So this is a good experiment, lets see indoors how she will compare. —GERMINATION— My germination process always start by scarifying the seeds, i created a little tool for that. I just a little container with sandpaper walls. Shake gently for about 60 secs+, this allows for the water to penetrate better in the seed shell, once you soak. Then i soak overnight from 12 to 20 hours max. From there i either plant straight or use the paper towel method to see the tap root before. If you are a bit on the impatient side seen the tap root is advisable so you see some movement before planting. Lol! —ROYAL QUEEN SEEDS . QUICK ONE . INFO — Chose this strain because is basic and I have to travel for a month soon, and someone else is going to take care for this time. :) Quick One is a fast-growing autoflowering strain. This was one of the first autoflowering strains developed. When it was first released, it was one of the quickest growing strains on the planet. THC: 13% CBD: Low Yield Indoor : 275 - 325 gr/m2 Yield Outdoor: 100 - 150 gr/plant Height Indoor: 50 - 60 cm Height Outdoor: 60 - 100 cm Flowering: 5 - 6 Weeks Harvest month: 8-9 weeks after sprouting Genetic Background: Strong Indica x Ruderalis Type: Sa 10% In 60% Ru 30% Effect: Physical Climate: Mild —RQS QUICK ONE GERMINATION UPDATE— My mood said to me to plant straight, so scarify > soak 18 hours +- > plant straight. Seedlings look a bit odd, with a yellow center, let's give her some days in and see what happens next.
