🌸 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.

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 🙏🙏🙏

20.11.2025 Her trichomes are appearing and are very obvious. Also her leaves and branches are already covered. This is a very special strain and I'm happily surprised about her development. The Agent Orange Male I already have crossed with the Gelato x Black Lebanon, looking forward to that it may have worked out properly and I can collect some veeery special seeds, almost unique 🌸💜.

Ya empecé esta semana regando con un litro un día si y un día no y alternando también los fertilizantes un riego con ellos y otro sin. Al poner le el led a la carpa pequeña para el final de la floración ha subido mucho la temperatura pero espero que aguanten.. creo que esta será la última semana que eche fertilizantes como lo veis?

La planta por suerte pudo crecer bien sin ningun problema grave, lo unico que me sucedió fue que en cierta etapa me excedí con los fertilizantes y las hojas se pusieron un poco amarillas pero se pudo solucionar. En sus tres etapas, enraizamiento, crecimiento y floración estuvo muy bien su desarrolló. Los cogollos a la hora de podarla se ven muy bien, estan bastantes pegajosos y tiene muy buen olor, parecido a frutal. En unas semanas cuando ya se pueda probar subire mas imagenes de su etapa final.

Tester #32 her sister got the axe a few days ago. This one being #2 still growing strong. Fading away so beautiful few more days until she gets the axe as well. Really easy to grow no issues at all during the entire grow. The last photos are of the first one that got the axe ^_^ really frosty and smells so damn good. Nice finishing update on 5/24. #2 getting the axe tomorrow so excited smells so fucking good. #1 is leaving the dryer today to be final trimmed and jar for curing. Should have smoke report within the week or so ^_^.

- The trichomes photos have been taken just before the harvest. - Drying was made between 22-23°C and at 55% of humidity (3 days). - Curing before smoke test : 15 days Veg time : 31 days Flowering time : 42 days Total time from seed to harvest : 77 days Height : 26.5cm Pot size : 1.5l COMPARISON BETWEEN THE FOUR PLANTS : -------------------------------------------------- The best plant : Pound Cake - biggest plant, roots and buds. The best yield : Even if I didn't manage to trigger my scale, it's the Pound Cake. The best smell : They all smell pretty good. But the strongest smells were Pound Cake and Orange Sherbet. The best high : I can't tell, but I liked them all 😎 My favorite overall : Pound Cake👌

Devo dire che questa è stata super veloce, poco più di 8 settimane circa? Le altre, di cui 2 FF e una cbd automatica, sono molto più indietro mentre lei questa mattina all’alba è stata raccolta! Gli antociani sui boccioli hanno conferito questo colore così spettacolare che mi viene una gran voglia di conciare e assaggiare!!! Questa volta cercherò di seccare moolto bene 😌

Another great week for the Apple Betty girls. I have not seen a single deficiency, other than the odd yellowed or withered leaf under the canopy, typically due to lack of light. I will come through soon and do a defoliation of both tents to allow for more light to penetrate, and perhaps get a good push for some girthy colas 😋. I have lowered the temps a bit in the tents by controlling my lung room temps, and they are maxing out at 77 degrees and hitting a night time cool of about 70. I have also lowered the humidity to hover between 47 and 52 %. Hopefully will start to get some nice colours as they finish. As I mentioned before, when I water is when I like to get under the canopy and check the stems and leaves for anything that shouldn’t be… and typically once a week after watering I’ll wipe down the tent and sanitize any surface I can. There is no reason to get lazy, that’s how you get Pests, Mold, and PM. Happy Gardening 🇨🇦👊❤️
