Hello Growmies, Week 5 of the G.M.O. grow is upon us, and the ladies are showing their distinct personalities. The tallest plant is now 25 cm, standing proud with a robust stem and that characteristic wide-leaf structure. She's been topped and is bushing out beautifully with 6-8 nodes left to flourish. The second plant, a bit shy at 18 cm, has not been topped yet. She's a testament to the variability of cannabis, as sometimes not all plants align with our schedules. Her smaller stature doesn't mean she won't catch up, but for now, she remains untouched, a potential natural beauty amongst her pruned siblings. Looking at the images, it's clear that the topping has encouraged a fuller canopy in the larger plant. The coloration is deep green, indicating a healthy nitrogen uptake, and the internodal spacing is tight, suggesting good light penetration and strong vegetative growth. The smaller plant, while not topped, has a vibrant color and a vitality that can't be overlooked. With no Tent-X controller in this environment, it's a more hands-on approach, but these G.M.O. girls are thriving under the attentive care they're receiving. Every three days, they've been sipping on a cocktail of Alga Grow, Sugar Royal, Power Roots, and Orca, ensuring their nutritional needs are fully met. This consistent feeding regimen across the grow is paying off with vigorous growth and the promise of an exceptional flowering phase. Stay lifted, Salokin

Guten Morgen liebe Freunden, es ist heute das Ende der 4 Woche. Die Pflanzen giesse ich mit ca 2l Wasser, EC wert liegt bei ca 0,9. Der PH Wert liegt bei 6,3. Ich gieße immer so viel das ca 10% drain entsteht da ich mineralisch dünge. Die Triebe die zu hoch wachsen, binde ich immer wieder nach unten damit die nebentriebe genug Licht bekommen. Bei Pflanze 1 beginnt jetzt die vorblüte, Pflanze 2 und 3 zeigen noch keine vorblüte. Ich halte euch wie immer auf dem laufenden, schönen Sonntag und bis nächste woche. :)

March 20, 2019: The girls have transitioned nicely into the flower room. I’m seeing them all start to stretch out and all showing definite signs of their femininity. The DinaMed CBD+ is still the tallest, but the CBD MediKush is catching up quickly. The 4 Cherry CBD Hemp plants are all smaller so far. But the Jobe’s fertilizer spikes seems fine so far. No signs of deficiencies or issues after the first week. Watering with living water (tap water with a few ounces of fish tank water mixed in per gallon) or just straight tap water (well water). The girls remaining in the veg tent are doing OK. They really need to be transplanted into larger containers. I’m going to go shopping this weekend looking for square nursery pots for transplanting into.

The grow with Papaya was definitely worth it. Incredible buds, a great smell that permeates the entire tent. I'm looking forward to my next grow with this strain.

Hello Diary. The first week of vegetation is over. The plants thrive nicely, look healthy and satisfied. šŸ˜€ Purple Punch # 1 grew 11 cm in the first week of vegetation while Purple Punch # 2 reached 7 cm. I remind you that I had to repeat the germination of another Purple Punch, so it’s lower. In addition to the nutrients that I mixed into the soil at planting, I started adding BioBizz’s Root-Juice. I regulate the humidity with a humidifier, so the humidity varies between 50% and 60%. With Purple Punch on the ā€œFarmā€ there is also one Watermelon Auto that keeps them company. Let’s see what the first week looked like. 27/01/2021 - Day 1. Official first day of vegetation. 29/01/2021 - Day 3. Watering. I prepared 4 liters of water but each plant got about 1 liter. p.H. I regulated with Plagron’s Lemon Kick at 6.1 and added 4ml / lit Root-Juice from BioBizz. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 22.9 degrees and 50% humidity. 02/02/2021 - Day 7. Photographing and watering. After the photo shoot, I watered the plants, each getting about 1.5 lit. This time I didn't add any extras I just adjusted the p.H to 6.3. and the water temperature was 20.2 degrees. I also measured the height of the plants Purple Punch # 1 - 11 cm Purple Punch # 2 - 7 cm. That’s it for this week, thank you all for your support and likes. See you soon.

šŸ° Lava Cake – Final Harvest & Smoke Report GrowDiaries | Week 8 (Harvest & Cure) After months of dedication, lessons, and love, our Lava Cake journey comes to a close — and what an ending it is. Both phenotypes reached maturity beautifully, wrapped in dense, resin-coated buds that carry the unmistakable aroma of sweetness and spice. 🌱 From Seed to Harvest — A Journey in Full Bloom Our Lava Cake journey began from seed with two unique phenotypes, both full of potential and personality. Week after week, through careful nutrition, TrolMaster monitoring, and endless observation, we watched them evolve. From the early stages of vegetative vigor, through the lush canopy of mid-flower, and even through the challenges of heat and bud rot, these girls showed true resilience. Each setback taught something — about balance, airflow, humility, and the living rhythm of nature. Both plants were ultimately harvested with respect and gratitude. āø» āœ‚ļø Harvest & Trimming After about two weeks of slow drying at 60°F / 60% RH, the branches began to snap — a sure sign the moisture was just right. Each plant was trimmed by hand, carefully and patiently, letting every calyx, pistil, and trichome tell its own story. The buds were dense, sticky, and heavily frosted — a trimmer’s delight. Finger hash collected along the way was pure gold, rich in aroma and bursting with terpenes. Each snip of the scissors felt like sculpting something sacred. Both plants were dried whole, allowing for slower moisture migration and a smoother final cure. āø» 🌿 On Trichomes and Harvest Timing We chose to harvest when most trichomes were cloudy, with only a few still clear and very few amber. This moment — just before full amber maturity — is where potency meets flavor at its peak. Why cloudy trichomes? Because that’s when cannabinoids like THC and terpenes are at their maximum activity. Too early, and you lose potency; too late, and THC starts converting into CBN, giving a heavier, sleepier effect. Cloudy trichomes deliver a balanced high — euphoric yet grounding — capturing the essence of the strain in its full potential. āø» 🌸 Aroma, Taste & Effects The Lava Cake lives up to her name and lineage. Her rich terpene profile brings waves of sweet baked goods, layered with berry and grape undertones inherited from her Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies x Grape Pie heritage. When smoked, she’s smooth, creamy, and sweet, leaving a lingering flavor on the palate that feels like dessert for the senses. The effects are deeply relaxing, melting away tension and replacing it with calm contentment. This isn’t a beginner’s strain — her high is potent, steady, and full-bodied. A few tokes are enough to drift into a deeply peaceful, happy state. Perfect for evenings, rest days, or moments when the world needs to slow down. āø» šŸŒ¬ļø Curing — Grove Bags & UV Glass Jars After trimming, buds were stored in Grove Bags, which naturally maintain humidity between 55–62%, eliminating the need for daily ā€œburping.ā€ These innovative curing bags use a one-way humidity membrane, preserving terpenes and color while preventing mold. Alongside them, we used black UV-resistant glass jars — perfect for long-term storage, protecting cannabinoids from light degradation and keeping aromas fresh. Together, these methods allowed the buds to cure into perfection — firm, aromatic, and bursting with flavor. āø» šŸ”„ Resin, Hash & Full Spectrum Bar All trim from the grow — not just from Lava Cake — was collected to make a full-spectrum bar using simple, natural heat extraction with hot water in a glass bottle. The result was a potent, sticky, terpene-rich concentrate that perfectly captures the soul of the garden. āø» āš–ļø Final Yields • Pheno #1: 144g dry • Pheno #2: 99g dry Both phenotypes displayed amazing bud density and structure. In fact, their sheer weight caused a few branches to snap under their own mass — another reason that influenced our harvest timing. These were heavy girls, through and through. šŸŒæšŸ’Ŗ āø» šŸ™ Gratitude & Reflections To everyone who followed along — thank you. To Zamnesia, for the genetics and inspiration, thank you. To the GrowDiaries community, the supporters, the doubters, and everyone in between — thank you for being part of this experience. And above all, thanks to God, because without Him, none of this beauty — not even the smallest seed — would exist. Growing Lava Cake wasn’t just about cultivation; it was about connection, learning, and the sacred patience of nature. āø» šŸŒ€ Closing Thoughts From seed to smoke, these Lava Cakes have been a story of flavor, resilience, and soul. Despite challenges like heat and bud rot, the final result was spectacular: frosty, aromatic, powerful flowers that embody everything beautiful about this craft. As we light the first cured joint, we celebrate not just the harvest, but the journey itself. Until the next grow — stay curious, stay kind, and keep growing. šŸŒ±šŸ’š Thank you to everyone who followed this run — your support, questions, and shared passion have been part of what made this project so rewarding. The full smoke review will follow this harvest report and will be presented in 4K on YouTube, where we’ll document the aroma, flavor, burn, and overall experience with both phenotypes and the pressed hash. šŸ“² Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

So far so good. She seems to have survived the short drought and is standing up straight again. She hasn't really grown in size, so I'm still a bit worried the tap root might've suffered some drought stress or even got damaged. But other than that, she looks good - healthy and vital. I've added some mulch (finally!!) which, besides benefitting the microbes in the soil, should also slow down the evaporation process and help with moisture control. Topping her on Day 15 is a bit of a gamble, maybe it was a little early - removing the sun-sail fan leafs is quite a risk as well, so I'll have to observe her even more cautiously than I do anyways. Hope she bounces back alright!

Chopped on July 28th. Hung for 6 days and trimmed on August 3rd and Put into grove bags. When I first put them into bags I was getting a 65% reading so I have been opening bags once a day for the last week. That takes us too today August 10th. Bags are finally reading 62 stable so they will be getting sealed for the next two weeks where they will thank you be transferred to jars. Got right around 5.3oz with my lazy trim so figuring a little under 5 when fully trimmed. I purposefully leave more leaves on than most people because the leaves protect the Trichomes. I do the final trim directly before smoking. Thank you guys so much for following the diary and God bless!

I hope to get this veg week in without her going into flower. This girl is so short and stocky. I have been continuing to adjust the lst about every 2 days. I removed the first nodes off the stems from the first and second nodes to force those nutes to where they need to be. I will say that running a feeder soil is so boring hopefully it's worth it. Day 32 - Had to increase her water today, she's a thirsty girl right now.

Hey guys, update week 2 this week I decided to do a video update to change it up, I also didnt take the plants out of the plant this week just gave water. They are all happy and grow at a nice rate, still no fertilizer just water in Sonnenerde living soil, even though the size of them compared to the pot size makes me worry a bit. Lets see what the next week has in store as we continue this journey together. I have to say I like these genetics a lot, all making nice trichomes and developing a beautiful aroma, solid plants, not one of the 4 doing funky things. Solid genetics !

So far so good. 3 plants all m39xgdp photo periods. All in Pro Mix HP under 240w quantum boards 3500k. Middle one was actually from a seed that popped 2 plants it was growing slow at first but is now catching up nice. I took clones from all 3 a week ago. All topped and some lst. The one on the right I damaged the roots on it transplanting but it seems to be bouncing back well these last 2 weeks. Plant on the left has been great had slight nute burn early but corrected it. Also the b52 I swap every other feeding woth cal mag. Will be feeding big bud in 2 weeks and also will use overdrive in the last 2 weeks. Day 7 of 12/12 decided to strip the lowers off the plants , branches that will never make it to the top. May strip again in week 3. I just hacked it all in 1 shot to give them stress in 1 go rather then over multiple days . Hopfully this has a positive impact.
