3/18 Week 12 Day 34/Flower Have a Norto virus in the house so being brief All looks good no changes at this time waiting on buds to say when 3/19 Day 35/F Lot happened overnight, looking like end of week for flush. Will continue PK for one more day as time for the last push here now as upped nuets about 200ppm. PK ends Friday, nuets will drop back 200ppm at the same time. Flush begins 3/24 Tuesday... 08:05 PDT ... 😏 3/21 Day 37/F Pics Some foxtailing began today but heat is ok so no worries, its all bud. Stopped the PK booster and reduced nuets to get ready for flush next week. She will go over a few days (46 -42=4) but its all good. 3/22 D38/F Pics Tricones all milky white and full Flush Tuesday Last feed Monday at half strength 3/23 D39/F Last feeding at half strength but tossed in a dose of Recharge just to see if it matters. doubt it would but it needed using as it hitting its effective date. Flush begins tomorrow morning 3/24 D40/F Flushed using 10 gallons PHed tap water and 5ml/gal flushing agent. Pic and vid

Day 66: flush 💦 Pictures are taken on day 70📸 -------------------------------------------------- She is getting a nice Purple and the clone is total red/purple now 🍌 Happy growing 🌱✌️

Colas are stacking, trichomes are piling on. This plant is doing over time with the bloom production. Just explosive through all phases. A real strong and hardy genetic all around. Shes got a nice sea of buds brewing up in her 2x2. Fucking sweet. I treated her with Dr zhymes as one of her last preventative sprays. With her explosive massively productive growth comes hunger. She has developed minor pk deficiencies. As I said last week I was upping the feed end of last grow week. Which I did... but it seems it was a touch late for her likeing. When the day to increase came she had minor signs already showing. With her next usual straight water I will also be adding a touch of the pk booster. Getting close to the finish line to be chasing deficiencies... but should be able to ammend the light hunger lol. We shall see. Until next update. Happy growing and stay lit fam.

This one is going to be weirdly exciting like all grows… but nothing beats growing strain you know nothing about down to to it’s ID. This is why this diary is dubbed Unknown Strain, and a lot more journals will be dubbed unknown strain. eg. Unknown Strain #1 - these strains are seeds I’ve collected and forgot to catalogue Unknown Strain (dealer/grow name #1) - I have it this way,to indicate where or from whom did I get the seed, but failed to get the accurate information regarding the strain. Alike this particular diary. I received seeds from my friend saplug16.20_exotic_genetics. Check out his work on instagram, his my mentor in growing. But I go overboard when it comes to growing. Ever since I’ve seen YouTube videos of growers growing weed plants like bonsais, I started growing my plants like I am growing actual bonsais, LST them in shapes and size while using defoliation and topping to achieve aesthetics. This type of growing is not focused on yield more for the hobbyist who grows for themselves and close friends. But I want to see if I can get more yield with this type of growing bud.

Switch to 12/12. The Stretch ist already kicking. Little LST to get a wider cannopy. BBP and RJ very bushy with lots of leaves. LO growing taller with bigger internodial space. All plants doing Well so far. Nutrients: Canna vega, calmag, cannazym ph 6.0-6.5 Light 50-70 % by 60cm to topleaves RH 58-65 % Temp ~ 25 Celsius With Power into the Flower

42.day bloom.

Weekly update. Sorry it was a late update this week I was out of town (Bizcon2024). Wow have they grown, I'd say doubling in size. I've upped the watering to 1000ml daily, this week I'll do a major defoliation and lollipoping. All in all Happy Growing

The girl is still growing tall and has started to bloom. He still has a lot of time ahead of him and it is a strong and healthy plant. 😊

Bueno, bien Special Kush # 1, 5ta semana floración le saqué la malla azul que molestaba, mejoraré la malla SCROG a futuro😎, al final las tres plantas florando, la tercera que creció mucho mas chica, un par de, contento

35 dias de actividad en el indoor, foto periodo de 20 horas de luz y 4 de oscuridad

🍰 Lava Cake – Week 8 (4th Week Flower) | The Bulking Phase The fourth week of flower has arrived, and both Lava Cakes are showing their full potential. Their structure is strong, pistils are snow-white and thick, and bud sites are stacking beautifully. This is the week where the promise of flowers begins to turn into visible production, every day, you can almost see them swelling. ⸻ 🔬 What’s Happening in Week 4 Flower By now, stretch is nearly finished. The plants are redirecting their energy: • From vertical growth ➝ into flower bulk. • From nitrogen demand ➝ into phosphorus & potassium demand. • From building structure ➝ into packing density. This transition is crucial: the roots, the soil microbiology, and the nutrient profile all work together to feed flowers instead of stems and leaves. What we see this week: • Thick, healthy pistils at every site. • Calyx swelling beginning, the first signs of true bud stacking. • Leaves still dark and strong — proof of balanced nutrition. • No stress, no burn, no deficiencies. ⸻ 🥤 Feeding Strategy – Why Boosters Matter Now This week, we removed the Aptus All-in-One Liquid, despite it being in the photo. The reason: the soil’s super soil base + slow-release pellets still carry enough NPK to support the girls. Overfeeding at this stage could risk tip burn or nutrient lockout — and we want the roots to stay clean and active. Instead, the focus is on precision boosters: Recipe (per L water): • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml → strengthens cell walls, stress protection, and nutrient uptake efficiency. • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml → keeps calcium steady (critical for bud structure) and magnesium strong (photosynthesis & chlorophyll). • Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml → directs plant energy into flower production. • Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml → provides organic nitrogen + enzymes to stimulate terpene development. • Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml → PK booster + biostimulant, promoting dense, resin-rich flowers. Why this mix? • Because the NPK in soil is still sufficient → boosters fill in the extra needs of flowering without overwhelming the root zone. • Because boosters provide specialized roles → each product targets a specific physiological process. • Because balance prevents problems → overdoing NPK at week 4 could backfire, while focused boosters guide the plants safely into mid-bloom. ⸻ 🌡️ Environmental Notes • Temps: Still ~31–34°C until AC arrives. High, but plants are adapting. • Humidity: 55–60%, VPD ~1.8–2.0 kPa — slightly high, but still manageable. • Watering Rhythm: Once substrate moisture falls near 19–20%, measured by TrolMaster WCS substrate sensor. This ensures roots get oxygen before each feed. Even under warm conditions, the plants are drinking heavily — proving they are metabolically active and thriving. ⸻ 🌸 What to Expect Next Week (Week 5 Flower) ✅ Expect: • Noticeable bulking → flowers will become rounder, denser, and begin to “stack.” • More pistils → a full carpet of white hairs covering colas. • Aroma development → the first hints of Lava Cake’s dessert-like terpene profile may start releasing. ❌ Not to Expect (yet): • Full frost coverage → heavy trichome production usually comes weeks 5–7. • Final density → buds will continue swelling for several weeks, so patience is key. ⸻ ✨ Closing Thoughts Week 4 flower is the foundation of yield. It’s when the plants finish their stretch, define their bud sites, and begin to convert light, water, and nutrients into the weight and density we harvest later. Our Lava Cakes are in perfect rhythm: • Strong genetics, showing symmetrical growth. • Balanced feeding, keeping roots clean and buds fueled. • Stable environment, with monitoring from TrolMaster guiding every adjustment. From here forward, every day brings visible progress. The journey of seeds to now feels like preparation — this is the beginning of the true show. 🔬 Science Spotlight – The Unsung Heroes: Calcium & Magnesium Many growers focus on NPK during flower, but two “quiet players” — calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) — are just as vital to ensure flowers bulk properly. 🌿 Calcium (Ca): • Strengthens cell walls, making flowers denser and less prone to collapse. • Improves nutrient transport, ensuring phosphorus and potassium (the bloom drivers) actually reach the buds. • Helps roots resist stress in warm environments (like our 31–34°C room). 🌿 Magnesium (Mg): • The central atom in chlorophyll → without magnesium, photosynthesis collapses. • Supports enzyme activity, converting sugars into energy for bud building. • Directly influences terpene production, giving flowers their aroma and flavor. Why CalMag Boost now? • In soil mixes, calcium can sometimes get “locked up” as the pH fluctuates. • With daily watering at slightly acidic pH (5.8–6.0), we guarantee Ca and Mg are immediately available. • This ensures strong, vibrant leaves → which means more energy for flower sites. In short: while NPK builds the skeleton of yield, calcium and magnesium are the glue and spark that hold it all together. Skipping them would weaken the entire flowering process. ✨ Grower’s Analogy: Think of your plant like a construction site: • NPK are the bricks and beams (the main structure). • Calcium is the cement holding every wall together. Without it, the structure would crumble. • Magnesium is the spark plug in the engine — it makes photosynthesis “run” and fuels the work crews building the flowers. No cement, no structure. No spark plug, no engine. That’s why CalMag support is never optional — especially in flower when the demand skyrockets. 🌸 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Week 6 2nd week of flowering: Slowly but surely, the whole thing had taken shape. And in the way I'm usually used to. "Sow love, reap happiness." Hello dear plant friends, please forgive me for my time delay in the grow diary. A lot is happening in real life for me right now and I had to get used to it. Unfortunately, one of my beloved cats died suddenly for a reason unknown to me. A long-time friend and companion. And in addition, I am very busy modernizing my grow room, expanding capacities and the current grow also requires a lot of attention, as I am passionate about new crazy training methods. All this distracts me from my grief and the loss of my dear furry friend and helps me a lot to get back on my feet mentally. Well, I don't want to keep you in suspense any longer, so here's a little preview of what will change and why.... 🤩 But that was only a short fitting and both lamps will of course come in a new generous Homebox 100 Q + I think the time has now come for me to leave the tried and tested old shell and go new exciting ways. I feel ready for the next challenges in this wonderful field of gardening. Dear people, be curious about what is to come. I can't wait to share it all with you. And now back to week 6 and last summer's Grow... Enjoy! 😊 And again my Biotabs was my secret weapon: the fermented compost tea an outstanding game maker. I usually start at the end of flowering week 2 and combine it alternately with the enchanting Bio PK - Booster from Biotabs until shortly before the end. I am firmly convinced that these two components complement each other super nicely.

Feliz por esta cosecha tan esperada para mi la ak 47 es unas de las más ricas y si le sumamos el toque a limón es un sueño hecho realidad.. 😋 Charly grower 👨‍🌾

New week and started feeding biobizz line plus some more microns 😁

This was the girls last week! I decided to call them finished on day 63 the tricomes are almost all cloudy, with a small amount of amber. I’ve learned that they continue to degrade as you dry and cure your flower, so I’m trying something new for me, and pull them a little earlier than I usually would. In addition, after watching a podcast (Dude Grows Show) if you don’t know, check it out… I decided to run the lights for 18 hours instead of 12/12 for the last 5 days before harvest. The idea behind this, is to stress the plant enough to increase its natural sunblock/protections, which would be terpenes and tricomes just before you harvest, while also possibly quickening the finishing time for your plant. The group was discussing the benefits of this (listed above) while some already had implemented these practices when finishing plants. The recommended time to run extra light time would be around the last 5-9 days of the plant, without having any nanners or weirdness happening with your plants. Anyways, they finished amazing, sticky, stinky and heavy ❤️ the Terps are crazy on these strains….Harvest details to come. Thanks for stopping by 💚🇨🇦👊

Starting week 6 and keeping the girls in veg for at least this week, possibly one more. Feeding is now at 1-6-1-3 with the CALiMAGic and General Hydro Trio. Lollipopping throughout the week and did a no-nutrient flush two days before flipping.

This beautiful OG strain is such a diamond. I LOVE HER. super strong aroma, very OG, sticky flowers, very dense and compact. What else can I ask for. This strain is such a masterpiece. Definitely looking forward to grow her again. And the best is that she's 100% organic grown without any pks or any shit like that. Just Silicium flash by biotabs which contains a lot of nutrients npk and bug shit and also the soil has been prepared with Florians organic living soil. Which contains different strains of mycorrizae and endomycorryzhae. Also contains fulvic and humic acids it's such a super foof for plants that make them perform to it's full potential without adding any chemicals NPK. I only 💦 and watch the magic happen. A complete and rich in life soil is absolutely key to get a top quality organic cannabis. And here you got the results. Hope you guys enjoy ✌️💚❤️👨‍🌾

I've been feeding full strength but giving just water from end of week 10 as I will harvest them in a few days from now.
