First week of flower, going well in the SCROG. Nothing fancy, just a 4x4 AC Infinity trellis. Will add a custom 2nd trellis if needed. She stunted in veg due to a bit of overcrowding causing less than ideal environment in her spot, but I fixed that by raising her, creating more space for her, and light defoliating. Other strains in this grow- Skywalker OG, Bruce Banner, Apple Betty, and Runtz. Check out my other diaries for those.

Finally seeing some fluffy flowers!! A small bit of trimming this week to get the light hitting more bud spots. should I defoliate further or let nature take its course??

6/27-8/3: In my time away, Ms. Cookies did great. She was quickly drinking down her water through the self watering base and she ended up eating all of her nutes, leaving some signs of these deficiencies when I got home. In addition to that, the soil pH was a little high at 7. So with these 2 deficiencies in mind, I flushed her with plain 6.0 pH water to bring the soil pH down, and I also amended the soil with some All Purpose 4-4-4 and Power Bloom 2-8-4. I also did some light defoliation of some larger fan leaves Overall, the plant is looking great. Had a minor setback with the deficiencies but it was honestly expected since I wasn't home to watch her closer for 2 straight weeks.

Okay, she’s still stretching (and she loves techno music as you can see 👅), but she definitely slowed down. Of course she’s not gonna fill all the grid, as I expected. What a pity! Now I just want her to grow a little more, especially those colas at grid level. If they don’t grow a little, I’ll get the worst colas ever! I’ve just bought a 600W COB panel with 6 Cree CXB3590 (3500K). It should be delivered next week! Can’t wait to try it, and finally give this princess the real power she deserves: DOUBLE SUN POWER!!!! 🤯 What do you think about this pheno? Do you think it will be that “strange” one? I love those stretching colas! 🤩 Day 70: Watering with 8L of tap water. Day 72: Feed @ 1ml/L, 6L of tap water in total. It’s very strange I’m using full strenght nutes with Dr. Grinspoon. I’m still alternating one watering with nutes and one without. Leaves are ok and pointing up to the sky, tips are perfect and colors too, so she should be just very hungry. This week I switched Biomassa with Florastimo. Florastimo increases the synthesis of natural hormones of plants, the metabolism and assimilation of nutrients, the production of essential oils and resins, and maximizes the production of flowers and fruits. Day 75: Watering with 8L of tap water. Runoff PPM is 700.

Всем привет 🖖 Бортовой журнал запись 8 Я начну эту запись с того что расскажу вам о трагедии которая произошла сегодня у меня дома 18.02.2023 Первые 2 видео я снимал сам, там не видно языков пламени, не успел заснять этот ужас который я видел. Было спокойное утро 09.32 часов, как обычно звучала сирена звук воздушной тривоги который звучит каждый день по несколько раз. Я поехал в другой конец города менять документы, мы стояли на парковке с моей девушкой и пили кофе, рядом с нами было десятки людей, и тут мы слышим взрывы ракет. Россия государство терорист эти преступники и убийцы в очередной раз нанесли новый ракетный удар. Это был ужас, сначала упала одна ракета и прозвучал очень сильный громкий взрыв, все люди начали кричать и плакать от страха, спустя минуту прозвучал второй взрыв....... Громкие хлопки и языки пламени поднялись на десятки метров в воздух. Это ужас, это очень страшно, взрывы огонь звуки сирены, кругом крики людей и паника. Русские убийцы стреляют по обычным домам, я хочу что бы каждый кто это читает знал то что россия это террористы которые убивают мирных граждан своими ракетами !!! В результате обстрела пострадали 3 учебных заведения, несколько жилых домов, 17 автомобилей, раненых....... Ублюдки горите в аду!!!! 🇺🇦 💪 УКРАИНА 💪 🇺🇦 мы победим! СЛАВА УКРАИНЕ!!! ГЕРОЯМ СЛАВА!!! Дневник. Мне тяжело вести дневник, кто читает мои записи знает что у меня нет света, нет отопления, на нас падают ракеты...... Растения сладко пахнут, цветы дозревают несмотря на что, много ещё прозрачных трихом которые так и манят своим сладким ароматом. Purple Punch почему-то не меняет свой цвет на пурпурный, немного фиолетового оттенка есть но я надеялся что они будут фиолетовые. С водой обратного осмоса смешал Delta 9 и Booster это был последний полив удобрениями, дальше только вода. Я устал пить алкоголь, успокоительное, снотворное что бы уснуть что бы не бояться что меня и мою семью убить, я хочу покурить эти цветы что бы мне стало спокойно. Каннабис меня лечит от тривоги, бессонницы, нервов. Всем мирного неба 💪🇺🇦 будьте живы и здоровы..... Пока......

Week 6 Flower – A Hard Lesson: Bud Rot Quick Recap – From Seed to Here This Lava Cake run started beautifully: • Germination was smooth and fast using the Cannakan with Aptus Regulator and Start Booster. • Veg went strong, with both phenos thriving under the Black Series LED and later joined by ThinkGrow and Lumatek support. • Transplants into 11L fabric pots gave them space to expand, roots looked stunning. • Early flower (weeks 1–4) brought explosive growth, thick white hairs, and dense colas forming under carefully tuned nutrition — Aptus base inputs with Plagron complements. But the same density that made these flowers shine also made them vulnerable. High humidity swings and airflow inconsistencies created the perfect conditions for bud rot (Botrytis cinerea) to sneak in. What Happened This Week Despite our best efforts, phenotype two (Lava Cake #2) showed visible signs of bud rot. To protect the garden, she was harvested early. Infected material was thrown straight into the trash (not compost — spores spread too easily), and the healthy parts are now drying in a separate, controlled space. Phenotype one (Lava Cake #1) remains in the tent. She has minor spots, but overall is swelling and pushing forward. She’ll be closely monitored daily to make sure the infection doesn’t spread. 👉 Full educational article from Zamnesia: 🔗 Bud Rot Cannabis Grower Guide – Zamnesia https://www.zamnesia.com/grow-weed/563-bud-rot-cannabis-grower-guide What Bud Rot Is • Caused by Botrytis cinerea, a fungus that thrives in warm, humid, poorly ventilated conditions. • Begins inside dense buds, hidden from sight, and by the time it appears on the surface, the inner cola is usually already compromised. • Spreads quickly if unchecked, especially in crowded flowering rooms. Why It Happened • Humidity spikes during flower. • Airflow not perfectly balanced, leaving “dead spots” in the canopy. • Dense colas trapping moisture. • Temperature swings stressing the balance further. Prevention Tips (for us and for everyone reading) • Lower humidity in mid/late flower (40–50%, then 35–40% near harvest). • Strong airflow: oscillating fans above and below canopy + efficient extraction/intake. need improving in here for my next run • Regular defoliation to open the canopy. • Daily inspections of the biggest buds. • Harvest at the right time — pushing too long in risky environments can invite problems. What to Expect / Not to Expect Going Forward • Lava Cake #2: She’s drying now. Expect about 2 weeks of slow, careful drying under controlled temps and humidity. With bud rot, extra caution is needed — we won’t rush, but we’ll also make sure nothing risky makes it through. Expect reduced yield because of the early cut and loss of infected colas, but quality and safety will come first. • Lava Cake #1: She will continue swelling in the tent. Expect daily monitoring, improved airflow, and cautious optimism. If she stays strong, she could still finish beautifully. • The Room: We’ll dial in airflow and humidity management even tighter, keeping CO₂ and temps in check, and prepare the AC unit to avoid these swings in the future. Closing Thoughts Bud rot is a tough enemy, but also one of the most important teachers in growing. It reminds us that environment control is just as vital as genetics or nutrients. Yes, we lost part of this run, but we also gained experience that will make every future run stronger. And sharing this openly might help others spot it sooner, act faster, and maybe even save their crop.

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. – Drying After Bud Rot Harvest For Lava Cake #2, we harvested the entire plant and are drying her whole. Because bud rot was present, we’re being extra careful: • Drying in a separate, controlled space, away from the main room. • Temperature kept around 18–20°C, with humidity 50–55% — steady and stable. • Gentle airflow moving through the room, never directly on the buds. • Daily inspections to ensure no hidden spots continue developing. The goal is a slow 10–14 day dry, preserving as much aroma and quality as possible, while making absolutely sure nothing unhealthy makes it through. With bud rot, safety comes first — anything questionable goes straight to the trash. 👉 Why whole-plant drying? By leaving the plant intact, moisture moves more gradually from stems and inner tissues to the buds. This slows down the drying process, prevents overdrying, and helps preserve delicate terpenes and flavonoids that give Lava Cake her unique flavor. Especially after a bud rot scare, a steady, controlled dry is essential for both safety and quality.

Flowering full throttle. Tested a 1:4 alcohol/water foliar on two smaller plants. killed bugs instantly, hoping it knocks out some budrot . no significant leaf damage from the spray yet 24hrs on so i may have found a nice spray during early flowering. Will run a string of lights and begin second grow that will extend into December

Transplanted 11-14 to 8” CC net cups and moved into veg tent under a Mars hydro TSL2000 (302 watts from wall at 100%) set at at 50%. Kept other clones going in cloner in case any of these don’t adapt well. I’ve noticed the Mob Boss tend to need a lot of cal mag even with tap water. The moms are in behind the table the background of the pics. Sisters are in flower in the flower tent. These will run about 5 weeks in veg so I will try to keep their growth slow. They both stretch about double with mob boss stretching slightly more than duct tape. Their names are Lucia and Ellie (Mob Boss) April and June (Duct Tape) 5” average 11-16 update: all taking very well to the veg tent and RDWC. kicked the light down about 5% to 45% to slow growth. 11-18 light still at 45% and very good growth. Maintaining ph pretty decently. 6.5” average

10/20/24 #1 mainling is going good. plan to transplant to final 3 gallon pot soon. #5 seems the most hardy and lives anything thrown at her. dry environments. humid environment. shes happy all the time. i dont remember which number off the top of my head but it wouldve been the tallest plant. the only one that ive topped so far because she was stretching more than the rest. she has a strong pungent dank stank smell coming off of her already in veg. so thats something to note and i will definitely be keeping an eye on that. #4 has been transplanted into a 5 gal fab pot and placed into my flowerring tent. im probably going to start a separate diary for each pheno through flower because they will all probably be flowered at separate times. they may overlap but they will all be on different time tables because i have my plants on a cycling through the flower tent. not necessarily a planned out perpetual grow yet but similiar in the sense of plants being pulled down and new ones ready to go. 10/22 transplanted #1 into her final 3 gal pot. training is set now she just needs to grow bigger before 12/12 10/25 transplanted #5 into a 5 gal fabric pot. also she is already showing purpling on her leafs

This girl has continue to stretch and grow and now it’s starting to develop beautiful flowers even though she just started to flower they are Snow White, and what a lovely citrusy smell to it . all of my plants are suffering from heat stress and that’s because of the dry air coming into the tent as well as the light being too close to the plants creating light burn as well other than that the girl seems to be cruising around with out difficulties developing nicely and growing very tallThank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow

♥️December 13/2020♥️ Hi everyone! Lots of growth this week wow! I measured 5 inches of height since last week! I turned my light to 100 % on the dimmer and raised a few more inches! ♥️ I think i'm finally starting to dial things in, I am pretty happy with how everything is going, I 100000x believe for my other grows I was underfeeding HARDCORE. I am such a stoner sometimes, turns out my measuring syringe was 3ML instead of 30ML??? LOL wow idiot on my part..... but obviously giving them what they need now! ♥️ SO i'm going to add Big Bud next feed, but i'm not sure if I should do a flush before hand? I know this line can have pretty hard salt build up... So any suggestions plz! :) ♥️ Other news is, the roots are just creeping hard out of the drainage holes! I can see the roots also trying to escape the top soil, for me this is so exciting! My last grows the roots sucked hard. I might be exploring hydro next grow in 2021.. I have someone who is willing to give me a setup because they upgraded to a cabinet! We shall see! I bought some lecca ( clay balls) to experiment with my house plants specifically airoids.. but i'll start there and see how I feel with that method of substrate. ♥️ Anyways, that's all from me this week, keep it sleezy n stay safe pals.👽

What I did to germinate my seed was I soaked the seed in water for 12 hours and I gave it a tap, once it sunk to the bottom I then placed in a wet paper towel for 24 hours and that has work for me 100%

1-Starting the week strong, plant is looking good. Not sure if the buds should be bigger or not but according to the strain it’s a 70-80 days flowering time so I still have plenty of time to see those buds fattening up. 2-Added 75W full spectrum LED to increase quality of pictures. In my opinion, totally worth it. Got to see my plant from a different light was amazing. Everything is looking good and the soil is still slightly moist. Probably water tomorrow. Separated all the branches to allow more light to penetrate the middle of the plant. 3-Soil completely dry, water plant with flowering nutrients. The smell seems to be a little stronger today. 4,5,6-No major changes.
