The run continues nicely, we still had some temperatures of nutritive solution a little high with the heat of Danielle. It drops drastically in 2 days so I will finally finish this growth in the calm one and will be able to begin my bloom on September 24th. I apply hydrogen peroxide at a rate of 0.5ML/L, twice a week as a treatment. The root Rot X is used every ten days when changing the nutritive solution. I put less water in my system, in order to create a wet zone and a dry zone, I make sure that the roots are always immersed of course. As soon as the temperature drops, I will switch to 800 ppfd for the end of growth and depending on the evolution of the plants I may add some sensi grow a and b to increase the ec a little. If you are attentive, you will observe on the tips of the leaves or even on the leaves, spots of burns or deficiencies, it is simply the consequence of the pythium a few days earlier. The last growth update will be around September 24/25.

Tag 20 Weiteres LST, erste Blätter entfernt. Autopot geleert und wieder mit 20 L gefüllt. (Terra Grow 1ml/l, Power Roots 0,5ml/l, CalMag 0,3 l/l) Tag 16 Spitzen der Pflanzen weiter mit einem Draht runtergebunden (LST). Töpfe gedreht, weil die Blätter die warme Luft aus dem Lüfter nicht vertragen haben. Das Autopotsystem funktioniert gut, der Tank ist schon halb leer. Die Banana Purple Punch ist bisher am besten entwickelt.

Hola a todos!! Esta semana prácticamente no he fertilizado, ya que luego de un breve lavado note que los valores de ppm aun seguían siendo alto..(1700...1800), entonces segui regando solo con agua, con bajas ppm 500 ppm aprox. Recien ayer logre bajar las ppm , no asi el ph, del drenaje, me viene dando 7.2, pero a pesar de todos estos inconvenientes, a la planta se la ve engordando los cogollos.En esta semana se estiro 1.5 cms solamente, pero los cogollos están creciendo de buena manera. El lavado lo hice el día 44 con 7 litros de agua con ph 6 y ppm 500, luego de un buen rato de drenaje medi y en ese entonces parecían haberse corregidos, pero al siguiente riego dia 46( lo hice con 2lts de agua) me volvió a dar valores altos. Para no generar un mal ambiente para la planta, la deja descansar 2 días, y ayer (dia48) volvi a regar y al fin las ppm han bajado a 900, el ph aun sigue dando alto, pero como mencione antes la planta demuestra que cualquier inexperto la puede cultivar, porque se aguanta todo ese stress😅😅 . Aun no sé distingue sus sabores, pero sus hojas ya se están cargando de resina..

From Tiny Seed to Thriving Cherry Cola Auto: A Fast Buds Adventure! My friends get ready for a Cherry tail and one i am depply curious about it and about all <3 <3 <3 In the world of cannabis cultivation, there's nothing quite like watching a tiny seedling transform into a vibrant, budding plant. Today, we're diving into the magical journey of germinating the Cherry Cola Auto from Fast Buds Seeds. Not only are we exploring this fantastic strain, but we're also sending a shout-out to the folks at Fast Buds Genetics, thanking our sponsor, Aptus Holland, and celebrating the supportive community on Grow Diaries platform. So, let's get our hands dirty and dive into the exciting world of cannabis cultivation! We kicked off our journey by gently placing our Cherry Cola Auto seeds in a glass of H2O, like they were taking a refreshing sip of life. The seeds soaked up the water, and after just 24 hours, we witnessed the first signs of life - a tiny taproot emerging. It's like nature's own alarm clock, signaling that the adventure had officially begun! After seeing that adorable taproot, it was time to find a cozy spot in the soil for our Cherry Cola Auto. We prepared some nutrient-rich soil and gave our little green friend a warm, loving home. With a tender touch, we planted the seed, taproot down, and covered it with a light layer of soil. It's like tucking in a baby, ready for a long and restful nap. In just three short days, our Cherry Cola Auto broke through the surface, eagerly reaching for the world above. It's almost like the plant knew we were excitedly watching, and it didn't want to disappoint! The tiny cotyledons unfolded, revealing their first set of true leaves, and our hearts skipped a beat at the beauty of this young life. Before we continue with our Cherry Cola Auto's growth journey, let's take a moment to send some love and appreciation to those who've made this adventure possible. Fast Buds Genetics: You've created a masterpiece with the Cherry Cola Auto. This strain is a testament to your dedication and expertise in cannabis genetics. We salute you for bringing such a delightful variety into our lives. Aptus Holland: We couldn't have embarked on this journey without your support. Your sponsorship has provided us with the top-notch nutrients and care our plants need to thrive. Here's to a green partnership that keeps on giving! Grow Diaries Platform: To our fellow growers and the supportive community at Grow Diaries, thank you for being our digital companions on this journey. Sharing our experiences and learning from each other is what makes this adventure even more enjoyable. Conclusion: As we wrap up our germination report, it's clear that the Cherry Cola Auto from Fast Buds Seeds is off to a fantastic start. In just a few days, we've witnessed the magic of life emerging from a tiny seed, and we're excited to see what the future holds. This journey is a testament to the joy of cannabis cultivation, the power of quality genetics, and the support of an amazing community. So, to Fast Buds Genetics, Aptus Holland, Grow Diaries, and all you fellow growers out there, here's to the endless possibilities that the world of cannabis cultivation offers. Let's continue to nurture our plants, share our experiences, and grow together. Cheers to the Cherry Cola Auto and all the amazing strains waiting to be discovered! Happy growing!

She is in full flowering stage, smelling very good and with excellent development. During this stage a lot of pistils present and growing. Also cutting old leaves and big ones that don't allow sunlight to enter the plant.

🌿 Lava Cake – Week 6 (2nd Week Flower) | Morphing Into Bloom 🌿 The Lava Cakes are officially stepping deeper into flower mode. Stretch is slowing down, morphology is shifting, the leaves, the stance, the energy of the plants are clearly moving toward bloom. Even without a huge photo set this week, the video walkthrough tells the full story: happy, thriving plants under carefully tuned conditions. ⸻ 📖 A Quick Recap – From Seed to Here • Seedling Stage: Strong germination, started in solo cups with Aptus support, rooting fast. • Veg Growth: Transplanted into fabric pots, lush branching, topped and trained with ease. • Environment Setup: TrolMaster ecosystem dialed in step by step — exhausts, intakes, carbon filters, sensors. • Lighting Evolution: Black Series 600 → Future of Grow LEDs → ThinkGrow Model 1 → now with a Lumatek Zeus Compact Pro 465W and the ThinkGrow ICL-300 added to the lineup. The room is a galaxy of light. • Nutrition Journey: From Aptus start boosters to super soil base, steadily adapted feeding. Now, the recipe grows richer for flowering. Each step has built the foundation for what’s happening now, the Lava Cakes standing strong in early flower. ⸻ 🍽️ This Week’s Feeding Recipe We swapped Start Booster for Top Booster and layered in a new experiment: Plagron trio support. Current Mix (per L water): • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml • Aptus Top Booster – 0.25 ml • Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml • Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml • Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml The Aptus All-in-One Liquid is on pause for now, pellets in the soil still provide baseline nutrition. This new combo is about flower initiation + terpene support + bio-stimulants. It’s partly science, partly intuition — but that’s how discoveries are made. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment This Week • Room Temp: Up to 34°C (AC unit coming soon to stabilize) • Humidity: 60–70% at times • VPD: ~1.89 kPa • Soil Moisture: Watered when dry-down hits 19–20% • Monitoring: TrolMaster WCS Substrate Sensor → reading EC, moisture %, and soil temp straight to Tent-X brain Conditions aren’t perfect, but the girls are handling it gracefully. Warmth makes them thirsty, and with careful irrigation + sensor data, they’re drinking daily and staying strong. ⸻ 💡 Lights of the Garden • Future of Grow LED • ThinkGrow Model 1 and ICL-300 • Lumatek Zeus Compact Pro 465W All tied into the TrolMaster network. The room is now a layered ecosystem of precision — light spread, airflow, and CO₂ distribution tuned for a canopy that can handle big flower production ahead. ⸻ 🐝 A Note for Nature – The Bees Alongside all this controlled technology, we can’t forget the real farmers of the world: bees. A photo this week shows a bee at work, pollinating. Without bees, there would be no flowers, not in the garden, not in the fields, not in the orchards. They are nature’s TrolMaster, carrying genetics forward, balancing ecosystems, ensuring that plants fulfill their destiny. In our indoor rooms, we simulate everything: light, water, air, food. But bees remind us of the real story outside, a world built on quiet pollination, day by day. A fairytale where the smallest wings sustain the biggest cycles of life. So this week, the Lava Cakes bloom under LEDs, and the bees bloom under the sun. 🌞🐝 ⸻ 🚀 Looking Ahead • AC will stabilize the room climate and drop stress levels. • Flowers will set fully, with pistils stacking over the next 7–10 days. • Plagron trio will show its effects, watching closely for flavor, resin, and density changes. • More light power may be added as the canopy demands. ⸻ ✨ Closing Thought: Even on a busy week, even with just a video instead of many photos, the story of these Lava Cakes is alive. They’re moving into flower with strength, under lights, with data guiding them — but always with love as the main ingredient. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Another day another week and coming along nicely only difference this week is I have started pumping some overdrive through them now seems as it’s week 6 flower. 2 weeks on that then hopefully ready for a flush with pure water and a few days dark then harvest time. I’ve got a feeling the papaya is going to be ready before the cookies waiting for.my microscope for my phone to come then will update with some pictures of the trichomes.

Day 51 from seed! Very impressive stuff. Been feeding her lightly with some Vitalink products. 2 weeks left on her but may push her longer depending on how she looks. Smelling sweet and cheesy 💪
