Missed couple of weeks of updates!! She’s getting close to harvest one more week then chop

Both plants grow with a nice healthy green color and develop well. Barbarian (=AK-47 x Barabara Bud) plant # 2 is a little taller than plant #1 at this time, but both show nice side-branching and overall growth. They love the Advanced Nutrients feeding schedule and are well protected inside the Secret Jardin grow tent.

🌸 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.

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 🙏🙏🙏

The temperatures, humidity, height, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH and 50° F. Coop Poop, Feather Meal, and Soluble Kelp are ml/gallon of soil top dressed. Everything else listed in nutrients is ml/gallon of water fed to plants without checking the solution Ph. Day 1 we had a high temperature of 88°F with clear sunny skies. I watered about 5 gallons per pot with well water. I added 75 ml Coop Poop, 100 ml feather meal and 50ml soluble kelp top dressed. Day 2 we had a high temperature of 74°F with sunny skies. I watered about 5 gallons. These girls were still a little hungry Day 3 we had a high temperature of 79°F with partly cloudy skies. Today I fed 5 gallons liquid feed mixture with 40ml of Agrothrive Fruit and Flower 3-5-5 and 80ml of Biogreaux Molasses 1 - .5 - 5. Day 4 we had a high temperature of 85°F with sunny skies. I watered about 5 gallons of well water per pot. Day 5 I didn't get photos but it was a normal day. Lots of sunshine highs about 80°F. I watered about 5 gallons Day 6 we had a high temperature of 79°F. Skies were sunny and it's really feeling like fall. I watered the #3 about 5 gallons. The number two got 5 gallons of feed. The feed was 100 ml of AgroThrive Fruit and Flower 3-5-5 and 40ml of Biogreaux Black Strap Molasses. I fed the #1 a 5 gallon nutrient solution that contained 120ml of AgroThrive General Purpose 3-3-2. Day 7 we had a high temperature of 73°. It was sunny, cool, and a dry 35% humidity. The girls are super happy. I watered about 5 gallons today. This week was a success. The girls have reached their final height. The #3 is at exactly 10'. Thats measured from the top of the pot to the top of the plant. I continue to treat weekly for powdery mildew. Finally the weather is cooperating. I let the canopy get a little out of hand but she's still producing. Only the number 2 smells like white cake. The others have a lemony smell to them.

Hallo zusammen! Sie wurde die Woche 2x mit 1,2 L abgestandenem Leitungswasser (PH reguliert) gegossen. Sie wird jetzt noch für ein paar Tage ins Dunkel gestellt und dann geerntet. Nächsten Sonntag gibt es wieder mehr :) Bis dahin: happy growing u awesome people!

Freue mich auf den nächsten run

This week smells so strong. The tent was cramped

Top canopy was uneven so supercropped a couple of branches. Top branches are flowering ok but I'm not sure she'll make it too the end, bottom branches looking great. I asked how I can speed up flowering, and I need too cover her for 16 hours a day, can't cover with boxes as rain will destroy the cartoon, don't have a cloth big enough. I'm just gonna wing it, adding some leaves to protect soil from frost, bringing her in when it is forecast to below 6. She'll be flowering until Christmas at this rate :D keeping an eye for hermie

floweeer start day 104 change fertilizer from nettle to chicken manure, from my free run chicken yard

I've been flushing my 2 big plants for about a week now. They've grown denser buds and the trichomes are becoming milky and I expect them to be fully grown in a couple of days (I want about 80% of trichomes to be milky). The other one is flowering nicely and I feed her everyday. The smell also shifted to a very pleasant lemon/citrus aroma and the test bud I took off last week also has really good taste when smoking.

Loved these flowers

A selection of a few plants but you can tell the f1 hybrids are just amazing for growth got loads of bud site hopeing for fat buds now still a few weeks to

The temperatures, humidity, height, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH and 50° F. Any listed nutrients are ml/gallon of soil to be spread evenly on top of the soil. The plants are getting just under 13.5 hours of light now. In grow conditions half hours aren't an option, so I'm noting here. Day 1 we had a high temperature of 91°F. Skies were partly cloudy. I watered about 5 gallons per pot. I treated with Growers Ally fungicide. Day 2 we had a high temperature of 94°F. The girls were thirsty. I watered about 6 gallons per pot. I really wet them and the ground under the pots. They're feeding on the runoff in the soil as they've rooted through the pots. Day 3 we had a high temperature of 94°. It felt like 102°F. Skies were sunny and clear. I watered about 5 gallons per pot twice today. The girls were super thirsty. I added 80ml Coop Poop and 45ml Soluble Kelp Meal. Day 4 we had a high temperature of 90°F. Skies were partly cloudy. I watered about 5 gallons each pot. Day 5 the high was 94°F with mostly clear skies. I watered about 5 gallons per pot. Then I watered in the evening about 3 gallons per pot. These girls are eating now. Day 6 we had a high temperature of 89°F. Skies were mostly cloudy to overcast. We had a lot of rain today so no need to water Day 7 we had a high temperature of 78°F. Skies were overcast with all day rain and mist. It's about as bad of weather as u can get for cannabis in flower. Let's see how these fastbuds hold up to 💯 fu weather. Overall the week was a success. The canopy is a little out of hand but these girls are stacking frosty buds. The powdery mildew has been put in check by the Growers Ally fungicide. I'll continue to use that especially after day 7's fu weather.

Well this girl is nearing the end, flush maybe next few days flush as too hit 70 cloudy 30 amber 🤞 🌱 absolute beauty of a autoflower her smell is unreal 💚 Her sister is still outside luckily I was quick too remove as I think she has a rooting bacteria issue due too rust spots, she will be left and I'll update as and when 💚

1st of December harvest 10 Days dry time 31 days in curing phase (as im writing this) Dry time was 9-10 days (Depending on the size of the buds) Humidity 51% RH Temperature 15C https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBNeJTwUOFY&ab_channel=MedicinalGenomics (Found a lot of good science to back up a dry and cure method) Curing is still an ongoing process and the bud gets better with time. But as in now, 31 days later in cure, the buds taste fantastic, smell amazing and the smoke feels smooth. I am still amazed how the ladies bounced back after a chaotic 2-3 first week of veg. Big thanks to everyone who have been supporting, a very good learning experience. THC 22%
