We had a great week so far we planted 4 autoflowers in 5 gallon fabric pots and they all popped. Purple Lemonade from Fastbuds. Strawberry Cheescake from Seedsman. BlackBerry Kush Auto from Dutch Passion And Mexican Airlines By Fastbuds! We will be making a new grow diary for them all!

It's been hot and humid all week, so I had to open tent and run big fan to keep temp from going passed 83. Also used only water a few times to try to get some nitrogen out of system it is a bit to green. Hopefully stretching is complete up to 34 inches now from just 12 inches right before flip so this is nearly triple in size. Continued trimming fan leaves on lower 3/4 left as many as I could that were not blocking light which is always so few. Altogether going well.

Entering in week 4 from seed. Plant doing amazing after transplant. Blumats dailed in and put the girls on auto pilot. Sprayed some pure crop one earlier in the week and will come back with some neem oil for continued IpM later this week. So far so good! Plants are growing extremely fast. topped the plant on day 25 and trim of the bottom most node.

Well well well ! I'm planning to cut eveyone in about 10 days. Just watering and slowsly starting to remove fan leaves Pretty happy about the conditions in my room, i have around 45-55% RH and maximum 24 degres. The drying will occur in this growbox, so i think i'll can have a nice and slow dry See ya next week for the last 10 days 😍

👉 Week 3 Bloom👈 👉21.03.2026 - 27.03.2026👈 👉 Days bloom: 15-21👈 The plants are growing very healthy overall and stretching. Only one plant (Cherrytini) seems to be a bit too greenish bright.

Strong week plants are bulking and showing signs of reveg, tops are all small popcorns these ladies should get huge and throw off a ton of tops.

First week of flower , plants are looking good. Minimal stress signs and growing fast.

December 16: Seeds places into rapid rooters for germination. December 21: Germinated seed just starting to push plug out of rapid rooter. December 22: Planted in seedling pot. December 23: Seedling having issues shedding seed. December 24: Removed shell and casing, seedling showing signs of recovery.

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.

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.

Just at the end of week # 2 in bloom , LST training is going well and the canopy is pretty full , cooler outside temps allow me to use my co2 burner and they are all looking great with lots of bud sites and liking the nutrient balance, made new nuits today and it went from 1400 to 1150 in two feedings , one more week of stretch and then I will finish the under canopy cleanup and plan on a light defoliation at week 4 of bloom. The 8 Ball Kush is really showing great growth and it’s early on , should be some huge buds this crop , the Blue OG Kush is healthy , it’s my first time with it so I’m not sure what it grows like . Stay Tuned

Que hay familia, volvemos con malas noticias, un ejemplar salió hermafrodita y toco sacarla de su hueco os dejo fotografías de algunas ramas. Las 2 que quedan no pintan mal , se me fueron mucho de altura pero bueno XL. Ph controlado en 6,5 temperaturas máximas 28 y mínimas 19 , sin problemas aparentes. Variedad algo difícil para principiantes.

Yes everything is fine looking to maybe try lst next time round with some.

coming along nicely, this one did not like the low temps. I found 1 bud with some rot on it, cut that out. NO PWM thanks to the foliar sprays of Si. Buds did not grow much from last week to this one due to cold temps. This is an indoor strain here or its going to need to be crossed with something that likes the cooler fall temps.

Week 26 August - 1 september 26 August - just water (1.5l) 29 August - feed day 1 september - feed day

Week 12 here with our AUTO GELATO by Fast Buds! February, 09, 2020 (DAY 78) - YOO GROWMIES! Welcome to week 12 of our AUTO GELATO! week 6 of flower to be exact! ISNT SHE FROSTY! holy moly look at this thing, can almost go skiing lol! nothing but frost, she is starting to thicken up on the buds, i havent defoliated too much on this one because there is just too much frost all over those leaves. February 12, 2020 (DAY 81) - WHAT UPPPPP!!!! here we are folks another update. i didnt even know there were purples in the gelato auto to be honest, but the purples are getting so VIBRANT!!!!! think she is getting flushed starting this weekend. this will be the last feed then its onto that FLAWLESS FINISH by ADVANCED NUTRIENTS. hopefully im making the right choice......maybe another week wouldnt hurt....

Exciting first few days setting up everything in and around the propagator. I think I'll start counting the vegging days when the seedlings are 7-10 days old.

An amazing week 7 is about to start Sunday
