Erde ist eine sehr luftige aus einem Garten Fachgeschäft, welche sehr leicht vorgedüngt ist, mit einem NPK Dünger. Möchte versuchen alles aus dieser Sorte heraus zu holen. Beigesetzt habe ich 1 Sack mit 10 Litern Plagron Perlit, welches vor der Zugabe gründlich abgewaschen wurde. Eine ganze Packung Royal Queen Seeds Easy Boost habe ich von Anfang an der Erde beigemischt. Dann wurde der gesamte Airpot mit seinen 38 Litern Volumen, einmal mit Wasser gefüllt, damit der Organische Dünger aufquellt. Dieser wurde dann mehrmals von mir durchgemengt, damit die aufgequellten Organischen Düngerteile sich möglichst gleichmäßig in der Erde verteilen. Nachdem die Erde nach über 1 Woche durchgetrocknet war, wurde diese erneut aufgelockert. Dann kam der Samen Zamnesia Banana hinein, welchen ich 4 Tage vorgezogen habe. Der Samen ist sehr, sehr Gut, da er von vorne herein eine sehr starke, praktisch absolut gerade Wurzel nach Unten gebildet hat. Das weiß ich, da ich den Samen in einem gereinigten, durchsichtigen Plastikbehälter vorgezogen habe, in dem vorher geiles Minzeis aus dem Aldi drin war. Start war der 07.11.2020. Habe Gestern das erste mal einen Hauch von dem Plagron Flüssigdünger auf 1 Liter Wasser gemischt, ca. 0,5 ml. Die kleine mochte die Dosis sehr. Mit PH Down habe ich den Wert von der Mischung auf den PH Wert 6.6 eingestellt. Lampe ist ein SMD Chip mit 65W, genauer der Cree CXB 3590. 1 Der Photonenstrom liegt bei 137,5 µmol/s, was ich für einen Einzelnen Chip in dieser Größe für sehr ordentlich halte. Auf den Wert komme ich, aufgrund der Angabe einer 4 er Lampe, die 4 solcher Chips enthielt. Diesen Wert habe ich dann durch 4 geteilt. Das habe ich wiederum getan, weil ich keine Angaben mit einem Strahlungsdruck Messwert zu diesem Chip im Internet fand, nicht einmal in dem Herstellerdatenblatt. https://proemit-576b.kxcdn.com/shop/media/pdf/b9/c8/eb/ds-CXB3590-1.pdf https://www.ledrack-growled.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Produktdatenblatt18-LedRackPlusKit-TechLed_Swiss.pdf 1 Weiter im Text, dieser ist erfahrungsgemäß stark genug, für 1 Pflanze auf 500mm x 500mm. Growbox ist ein Eigenbau aus OSB Platten mit 12 mm Stärke, welche 4 140 mm Lüfter mit Vorwiderstand, welche durch ein Universales 12V Netzteil versorgt werden, verwendet. Reflektoren sind eine Rettungsdecke und Alufolie. Ich bin gespannt wie der Grow wird, denke ich werde mehrere Triebe durch Topping und später durch Entlaubung.

🌸 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.

: 1st flow week :) really happy with the girls no problems or deficits yet (my fault in some cases). I wanted them to grow taller but I installed the lights too close and it prevented to grow tall and also in some cases defoliation was too aggressive and the girls had to overcome that. - Day 1 week 1 flow: no action just changed lights to 12/12 and flow mode. - Day 2 week 1 flow: watered them with nuts and ph 6,3 or so, no big deal. - Day 3 week 1 flow: just watching them grow and overcome small tent, decided to take out the net cuz no point of it girls just can gro vertically. - Day 4 week 1 flow: shower of 1L with nuts described, following biobizz schedule. - Day 5 week 1 flow: not much to do waiting for them to growww - Day 6 week 1 flow: shower of 1L with nuts described, following biobizz schedule. - Day 7 week 1 flow: a little defo and ready for week 2 :)

5 Tage Zelt , aber ich glaub ich trenn da noch einige dinge . alles recht fett geworden . So vom 4 Tag im Trockenzelt mal Photos gemacht. DAs ist also die aktuelle Budgröße . Eine sehr fluffige Sorte !!! Es ist endlich Zeit fakten zu schaffen . Die Ernte hat glatt ein 5 Liter Messbecher gefüllt und hat dabei 145 Gramm erbracht. Die Buds sind eher fluffig als fest . Ein gutes Beispiel dafür das die Buds zwar riesig aussehen , aber eigentlich nichts wiegen. Obwohl das optisch mein Größter Grow war, ist die Erntemenge doch weit aus geringer ausgefallen . Geschmack ist kräftig würzig mit einer Methol Note . Die Trichome sind von einem Sidebud genommen. So wirklich gut getroffen hab ich den Erntezeitpunkt nicht . Aber es klebt und klebt und klebt . Einfach perfekt fürs Vapen durch meine Wasserpfeife .

Start of week 8 for DG. Buds are still filling out. Wondering when of if I should flush her before harvest? Only been using Cronk Nutrients for a couple of weeks so I don’t think there should be too much of salt build up. Haven’t tested and ppm from runoff. She still showing a little bit of bite or light burn so I fed her plain ph’d water for 2 feeds in a row so we’ll see. The GWK is starting week 7. She’s taller but still has a lot of filling out to do. She also showed a few leaves of nute burn but I’m pushing her. She had one plain water feeding this past week. She’s looks great though. Flush or no flush? I think I’m a couple weeks out from DG harvest.

June 15: lots of rain ended this morning. 64 mm or 2.5 inches over 48 hours. No watering need for a while. She looks pretty good and I’m currently waiting for the two stems to grow a bit more. A day or two before another round of topping to make the 8 (or 16?) cola manifold. June 18: still more rain. Wow, really pouring at the moment. About 80 mm in last few days and heavy rain forecast for all day today. Oh well. Plants are up against house to minimize soaking. Took two fan leaves that were growing back across the main stem to allow more light in. So far so good. June 20: second round of topping to get to 8 colas and tied down to have all growth tips at same elevation. Waited until fourth node was forming and then topped to third node and removed growth tips at the second node. Sounds a bit hard but totally easy once you try. 👍called mainlining on Growdiaries but should be called manifolding. Still quite cool and rainy which is great for the forest fires, but a bit cool for cannabis. Oh well. June 21: Happy Solstice. Our monsoon season seems to be done and next two weeks look like great cannabis weather - sunny with low to mid 20s C.

Seeds were soaked until the taproot was showing then placed into peat plugs. They stayed in here for 5 days in total, 2 days after the had popped so I classed it as a whole week. They were then placed into they’re final homes, 23 litre fabric pots

I’ve added VPD to my dashboard and have now dialed in my climate for a perfect VPD. Home assitant dashboard controlling lamp, up/down humidity and cooling. Exhaust is going to be used to scrub the air and back into the tent. After adding C02 I’m now doing a sealed grow to take better control of the environment. I was dealing with high temps I put a evaporative cooler just in case if I need to up the humidity or lower the temps.
