After finally getting the light right(backing it up and turning it down🙄). My plants finally starting to look better and grow faster!

🌸 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.

Harvested on day 88. The plant had a really strong smell, and I ran into some issues during drying because the temperature dropped, and humidity went up a lot. It dried over 16 days, turned out nice and dense, and kept its sweet, citrusy aroma.

I think this is day 14 now. Its hard to keep track as my PC has broken and it had all my data/feedings etc so im guessing some things 😂 Day 18 they have grown quite abit. 1 is still slower than the rest but nothing alarming considering they are in a unstable enviroment. Once the clones are transplanted 2-3days ill be able to control the seedling/clone tent easier 🙏

So far so good. This is week 2 or 3of flowering and no issues so far. The fan leave are starting to thin out but I guess that Normal in the flowering stage. The only question I have in this stage is what should my humidity but for the flower stage ? I heard any where from 60-40?

last week only water, almost ready to harvest, she smells sweet and piney

I started the week by selecting the 3 best plants to put them into their final 26l pots with some Dynomyco. I made the selection based on their sizes, shapes and roots. I increased the light output from 25% to 50% and started the week with 23h of light per day. After a few days I noticed what I think are light burns on every plants so I reduced the number of hours/day to 18h and it seems ok now. I checked the pH, not optimum but alright for soil and I always have this 7.0 with this soil and this pH meter (don't know if it works properly or not because it's always 7.0 in this soil, never 7.1 or 6.9). The 3 plants grew a lot this week, it's one of my best growth rate so far so I'm very happy 😁 The Wedding Cheesecake is by far above the two others, it already developped 5 nodes so I topped it (first time it happens to me that soon). As usual with this soil, I think they have a bit of nitrogen toxicity but nothing critical. Plants heights at the end of the week : ------------------------------------------- Gorilla Cookies : 18.5cm Purple Lemonade : 15cm Wedding Cheesecake : 22cm

Topped off with nutrients rich water 1100 ppm.

Trochu jsem je poladil 😉😁😉

Estamos cursando el día 11 desde el brote. Tienen buena pinta. Sin duda revisaré el Ph del agua de riego.. tengo la impresión de que está un poco alto. Continuamos fertilizando lo mínimo. 100 ml en cada maceta cada riego. Buenos humos 💨

Blessed and very happy so

Very happy I went Original Sensible Seeds beens this grow. 🤩 All 3 autos from some special american line, and o boy , they don't disappoint.🔥 Bangers genetics 👏🏻 all trees are good size with super thick stalks and loads of fat buds. Another big defoliation been done this week, removed around 2 kg of leaves.All frosty with great smell. I like it a lot 💚

Just feed her ph water for the last couples of days I’ll be chopping her down this week due to heat wave in my area .. wish I could let her go few more days At this stage she’s releasing nitrogen still

7. Juni Die Dinger wachsen munter weiter. Mittlerweile ist der Geruch wirklich extrem intensiv wahrnehmbar. Sehr süßlich. Buds sehen wunderschön aus, sind allerdings noch etwas mager.

17-05-2021: As you might have seen I have added some reflective foil to reduce heat on the water. This helps a lot. Growth is as expected but they are a bit on the bright side. Well yesterday the set EC was raised from 1.3 to 1.6 so probably new leaves will be a bit darker. Also added a bit of Calmag. Still great to see that as soon the roots touch the water the growth is exploding. Well yet 13 days till 12/12 so I am excited to see how big these ladies will be by then. Hoping for a seventh node before that. 18-05-2021: Today I dosed 18ml of H2O2 (50% silver stabilized). I have seen a few algae so if they are gone by tomorrow I keep this dose, if they are not I will give them a shock treatment of 50ml. In this system I don't have to worry about clogging (50mm tubes) but I also believe that if it is not necessary I shouldn't do it. Dosing is advised from the supplier based on tomatoes by the way. 19-05-2021: All survived the H2O2. Today I have added additional 18ml. Just to see what happens. Growth seems a bit faster last night 22-05-2021: Blue is not doing great... I hope they survive. Red is still OK

Today is week nine 60 days flower. This is super exciting! I have been trying not to stress cause even tho the bottled nutrients give you the feeding schedules your plant reacts to said nutrients one ways or another. I am excitied beacuse I am learning about mychrozia, beneficial bactiera how they coenside with each other and can replace fertilizer etc but thats a whole worm whole haha I have been giving this plant, flawless finish, and bud candy these last few days. How ever now I am giving her just water. Ph irrated always! MUch love lets root her on too the finish! Few More weeks LETS GO GUAVA she is smelling so so so fruity berries melons and sweet lets go

D19 19/09 : Start a new clones diary. I've got the new Spectron 7 from AC Infinity and I would experiment with new features starting from timelapse 😋 D22 22/09 : First timelapse done, jus posted.

DIREKTE I UNDERLAGET OG HAR OVERLEVET MINUS 2 grader og 0 grader! Og er startet op udendørs også jeg elsker denne konkurrence! Held og Lykke med det hele til alle sammen på growD! From Nicogreen the one and only REAL NICOGREEN 💚💚💚💚💛🖤💚💛
