Alright! This week is finally done and this will be the last vegetative growth week for the plants. Switching to flower tonight :D I have done some defoliation and a bit of lollipopping to the 3 plants, I was noticing the shadows where quite dark on the tent floor and the plants where not crazy tall so they needed to be managed, If I was outdoors I would just LST them some more and not worry about any of it but indoors the airflow is tight and it was needed, cleaning up the undercanopy was none negotiable or some bad things would have happened in flower. Mainly molds or worse WPM. I also removed the string supports I has on the plants when they broke from some LST I did a few weeks ago. In the stripping down of the plants I removed a lot of lower immature growths and took out some immature branches, I have all these sitting in a glass of water and will clone them out for shits and giggles, I think their is about 15 of them or more, maybe I will go and plant them aorund my neighbourhood in municipal planters. Plus now I can work in the topdressings that will be required in the upcoming weeks to keep these plants happy and healthy. Going to continue amending in some of the bokashi in the feedings as well as worm castings as they give off a nice ammount of microbes for the soil. I wish I had some of my LABs for this grow but I did not make any. The clones from before are doing fine, just did not take any pics of them. The butterwort is doing a fantastic job of eating up the gnats. I have some nematodes on hand for when its had its fill as I won't want them getting into the flowers as they ripening. Big shoutout to Medic Grow for sponsoring the lighting in my tent, They have provided me with 2x Mini Sun 2's in the 240w configuration, They use the v1 growing spectrum that is a all purpose seed to harvest spectrum so their is no hassle of switching it mid grow.

Starting week 2 of flower on this lovely Forbidden Runtz Auto from FastBuds! Still going strong! Stretching out more and more daily and slowly starting to stack flower sites. She has some yellowing and yucky looking lower leaves but that seems common with my soil setup and nothing to worry about yet. Usually just a minor watering issue as each plant requires different amounts daily and it can be hard to get them exact. More updates soon! Day 54 she is looking and feeling a little over watered so we will dial her watering back over the next few days. She also has some minor insect damage but we have lots of spiders and other predators in the tent that should keep them at bay. We will defoliate any damaged leaves and will not spray anything on them. She needs cleaned up good anyways! We will also remove some lower bud sites in the process. Day 55 we removed some damaged leaves and some that where blocking lower bud sites. Didn't remove any lower unwanted bud sites yet but they will be next!

week intel: its time to harvest top buds! because my base nutrients and one of boosters was salt based, i'll do flushing this week to get some relieve to plants in the last days stresses : flushing Drought stress via watering only one time with flushing this week feeding: day 1 : i flushed them with Advanced Nutrients Flawless finish and adjusted ph day 3 : no more feeding from now on day 5 : no more feeding from now on guide of the week : i harvest in 2 parts : first i harvest top of the branches and will let the lower buds to ripe another week then ill harvest the second wave. its crucial to get uniformed buds in terms of quality that you let the lower buds to get some extra air and especially light! then the pop corn buds quality will reach the top buds. my dry and cure style is this: 3 days of hanging upside down to get water activity lower to around 0.6 in 50% humidity and 26 C temp (i know its a little high but we are in a hot summer right now and i cant get it lower even with air conditioner) and then after 3 days of drying i remove leaves and stalks, trim buds and move them to jar for the rest of their life :D . and in the first 4 days of curing i open the jar door and let hem get some fresh air in the jar for about 5 minutes and close the jar door again, after 4 days of curing like that buds are smokable but they will get better as they getting cured about 1 month. im happy as hell with this harvest :D.

96 días desde la germinacion. 47 días de floración. Ya estamos entrando a las semanas finales de cultivo y las flores van engordando a buen ritmo. Finalmente, en mayor o menor medida, todas las plantas sufrieron de sobre fertilización y veo 2 factores responsables de esto; 1. me excedí en la cantidad de guano de murciélago (alto en fósforo) con el que fertilice el sustrato y 2. en la mitad de la floración se estropearon mis 2 herramientas de medida, el medidor de EC y PH, al calibrarlos el otro día me percate, y como estamos en cuarentena se me hace complicado adquirir nuevos medidores por lo que suspendí los riegos con abono y he estado regando solo con enzimas y Flawless Finish, voy a seguir así hasta finalizar el cultivo. Debo tener ojo con los hongos, donde vivo hay una humedad muy alta que no baja de 60% e incluso ha llegado (según mi termohigrómetro) a 96%. Eso, feliz cultivo a todxs. 👊

Added top funnel watering wick, most insects/bugs use damp topsoil 1-2" to reproduce. This uses gravity, 👊👊👊fiber wicks water, and spreads evenly, to keep moisture under the topsoil out of the reach of bugs. Zinc is a chemical element with the symbol Zn and atomic number 30 Neodymium is a chemical element with the symbol Nd and atomic number 60 Thorium is a weakly radioactive metallic chemical element with the symbol Th and atomic number 90.

Day 100 from seed by far the healthiest most stacked plant in the tent, very dense nugs, strong citrus and berry smells kinda like blueberry lemonade, I'm very impressed to say the least.

Hace un par de días le he dejado de dar nutrientes y he suspendido todo tipo de alimentación para terminar con una cosecha más limpia. Ahora solo toca ir aumentando el volumen de riego e intercalar los riegos de agua sola y enzimas para aprovechar todo el alimento que pueda quedar en el sustrato y así lograr la cenecencia.

Been having problems with EC! And I thought I had it made.😏 The only thing I can figure is my mix of HP Myco, and HP coco coir, EWC, shrimp compost, perlite and a little powdered dolomite lime must be too "hot". I am using a bluelab truncheon that is accurate and my runoff EC is 3.6. Plants were still to dark despite my hopes. My well water is 400ppm so I will try to keep my input water 1.8EC and 6.2 - 6.5 PH, 21 degrees and my runoff 2.0 EC. I have put thru another 120 L of just PH'd water 0.8EC until runoff was 1.8 to 2.2. Their shade of green looks better but there are 4 that are still too dark so I will try more water tomorrow. EC'd, PH'd & took Temp of all inflow and outflow on 10 plants (this takes forever)😟. Watered again with 6.3 PH, 20 degree, 0.9 EC well water and put thru 3 gallons for 6 plants . Run off EC was 0.8, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 2.0! Their colour and hue is much better than it was, not so heavy and dull, and I believe that this flushing has saved them from being stunted and having more cell wall damage, as well as nitrogen toxicity and other bad stuff. You can see them coming around already from my blunders. Today Sept 28 is Day 73 and Day 14 of Bloom. I can hardly wait to actually feed them something in a couple of days.

Day 84 (day 21 flower): Major defoliation on both the Brain Cake and Bakers Delight. Both the ladies are getting sticky! The Brain Cake smell is pretty neutral but the Bakers Delight has a bit more smell and reminds me a bit of a Tangine Kush (Rare Dankness) I grew a while back. Changed the water reservoirs to the flower bloom booster nutrients (Plagron green sensation). Day 86 (day 23 flower): They seem to be coming along nicely, a tiny bit of progression in the buds since defoliating. The Bakers Delight is more sensitive to nutrients so added some tap water to dilute the nutrients a little (TDS 510 -> 470). Day 87 (day 24 flower): Both doing well. The Bakers Delight seems to be reacting positively to the slightly lower nutrient concentration. Both water reservoirs between 5.7 and 6.3 at all times and around 20-21c. Day 89 (day 26 flower): Everything seems fine, water stats are stable, for as far as I can see no deficiencies or excess, bud are growing in height and seem to be producing nice amounts of thc giving the buds a slightly grey color. Some of the pistils are turning orange very early, might be due to stress the past weeks, or the new full spectrum light or just genetics. The Bakers Delight currently has a stronger smell, also a more peppery background. The Brain Cake has a neutral fresh 'plant material' green hash smell, nothing special going on yet with her odor. --> Slowly been hanging the light closer, at 50cm from the Brain Cake and 60cm from the Bakers Delight, will slowly lower till its approx 40cm from the Brain Cake and 50cm from the Bakers Delight (because the BD is 10 cm shorter...). Hopefully this will get the top buds to get even bigger and stronger and hopefully aswell the bottom buds will pull some weight and most importantly the bottom buds need to ripen as fast as the top buds which is usually the main issue when they dont get enough light... Curious to see how it plays out. Might need another minor defoliation around day 40-44.

Start of week 9! The buds are really starting to swell and look more spectacular every day! The smell is intensely fruity too! I reckon about two more weeks and it’ll be time! Last feeding before flush!

🌿 Lava Cake – Week 4 VEG | Queen Energy & Full Ecosystem Build 🌿 Both Lava Cake phenos are thriving post-transplant—zero signs of stress, branching vigorously, and growing like there’s no tomorrow, they’re glowing like true queens under the summer sun. 👑 ⸻ 🌱 Growth Highlights • Structure: Lateral branches coming in fast and healthy • Leaves: Deep green, thick, full of life—new sets coming in strong • Resilience: No transplant shock observed; they’re in full takeoff mode • Training: Not started yet, but their shape is ideal for light training soon ⸻ 💧 Nutrient Profile Current feeding recipe (per liter of water): • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml Supports nutrient flow, strengthens cell walls, anti-stress defense. • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml Helping frame formation and boosting photosynthetic power. • Aptus All-in-One Liquid – 1 ml Serving as the balanced nutrient base. • Aptus Start Booster – 0.2 ml Still enhancing root expansion and early leaf vigor. We’re still watering from below, by filling the tray and letting the substrate absorb from the bottom up, encouraging strong root systems and oxygen-rich zones in the upper soil. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment Overview • Room Temp: 27°C • Humidity: 57.4% • CO₂: 632 ppm • Water Temp: 18.5°C • pH: 5.83 • EC: 1.01 Everything monitored in real time via the TrolMaster Ecosystem, providing precision control and remote access, yes, even while we’re in the bathroom. 😉 ⸻ 💡 Lights & Zones We’ve now expanded our setup into the 8x8 tent, and the Lava Cakes are sharing space with their sisters across two dedicated zones: • Future of Grow – Black Series 600: Full-spectrum power delivering compact, colorful growth. • ThinkGrow Model Ones: Smart spectrum and PPFD control, perfectly synced with the TrolMaster system. Both lighting zones are tuned for veg—intensity dialed in, and spectrum tuned for lush photosynthesis. ⸻ 🌬️ Airflow & Filtration • Exhaust: Two 6” inline fans with carbon filters for odor and purity • TrolMaster Aerofan 6” (controlled by Tent-X controller) • Spider Farmer 6” Inline (controlled by GGS Controller) • Intake: One 6” active intake with filter This full cycle keeps airflow fresh, clean, and optimized, essential for plant metabolism and VPD balance. 💡 Why carbon filters even now? Because purity matters. Even in early veg, it keeps the air crisp and microbial risks low. Plus, stealth mode always on. 🔇 ⸻ 📈 Sensors in Action We’re dialing in with: • CO₂ sensor (live ppm tracking) • Humidity/Temp sensor • PPFD sensor for light mapping and consistency These tools allow us to optimize every square meter of canopy, ensuring no girl is left behind. ⸻ 🌿 Looking Ahead • Light training coming soon • Roots will now fully colonize the 11L Amnesia fabric pots • Expect explosive top and side growth • Canopy management will begin as needed • More studio photo sessions—before the girls outgrow the door! 📸 ⸻ 🧠 Final Notes This is a very special run. The Lava Cakes are being treated like royalty—from tailored nutrients to cutting-edge control systems. The goal: maximum quality, transparency, and education every step of the way.
