Hello. It's been hot this week. I'm about 4 days from flush and I'll try to flush for 2 weeks. I've seen some fungus gnats, but I try to run a very healthy greenhouse. I've seen 3 different types of spiders helping me out this year. 2 different types of jumping spiders, several harvesters (Daddy long legs) and a bunch of small web spiders. I think a nest of web spiders hatched near by, their webs are about the size of your palm. And of course Paper Wasps. I allow to live in the greenhouse. (check out week 5 for more on that). >I going to make my own seeds this year. I want my females to be about 3 weeks ahead of the male on flowering. The male is under lights and checked every couple of days for flower sacks, NO preflowers sacks too. As i have said before that's a male Dr. Atomic Northern Lights. Going to be crossed with my Amnesia Lemon, Burmberry and Skunkberry. What I want is the Burmberry to have more solid buds. > Amnesia lemon has not had any powdery mildew this year nor has her sister had any. I've gotten some on the other 2 strains. I'm trying frequency changed water " White Wash" works great, knocks the pm right out. I'll see if I'll use it again I'll be able to tell on the smoke and taste test when it done. That's all for now. Chuck.

🌸 Lava Cake – Week 7 Flower (Harvest Special) 🌸 This week marks a major milestone in the Lava Cake journey: we harvested phenotype two, who had been affected by bud rot. Bud rot may have tried to take the best from us, but we didn’t allow it. Every infected part was carefully removed, and the remaining healthy plant was harvested and is now drying as a whole plant under controlled conditions. ⸻ 🙏 Apologies & Context We know this is technically a flower week update, but due to the new updates on Grow Diaries and the desire to share photos, videos, and the story of this harvest so we’re combining the harvest with the flower week report. We apologize for any confusion — this is the only way to fully document and expose all that’s happening, and to make sure the lessons, successes, and challenges are visible for everyone following along. The next report will be the official “Harvest Report”, covering: • Drying & trimming process • Curing updates • Smoke review ⸻ 🌿 Quick Recap – From Seed to Here • Germination: Smooth in the Cannakan with Aptus Regulator & Start Booster, 3 seeds, 2 kept. • Vegetative Stage: Robust growth under Black Series 600 LED and later ThinkGrow & Lumatek LEDs. Root development and early structure supported with Aptus super soil and micro/macro mixes. • Transplant: Into 11L fabric pots, carefully monitored environment, roots thriving. • Early Flower: Weeks 1–4 brought thick white hairs, dense colas, and heavy branching. Nutrient support included Aptus Regulator, CalMag Boost, Plagron boosters, and All-in-One Liquid. • Mid Flower & Challenges: Week 5–6 showed signs of bud rot. Lava Cake #2 needed early harvest; Lava Cake #1 continues to swell and thrive. Through all of this, the Lava Cakes proved their resilience and quality, showing that even under stress, their genetics shine beautifully. ⸻ 🌱 Week 7 – Harvest Details • Bud Rot Management: All infected material removed and disposed of immediately. • Harvest Technique: Whole plant harvested, inspected, and prepared for controlled drying. • Drying: Slow, careful drying in a separate, stable environment to preserve aroma, terpenes, and cannabinoids while minimizing risk. Even though bud rot forced an early cut, the flowers are still dense, fragrant, and high quality. Their resilience and beauty deserve celebration. ⸻ 🔬 Educational Notes • Bud rot prevention & learning: This week reinforces how crucial airflow, humidity management, and daily inspection are during dense flower stages. • Whole-plant drying: Allows moisture to equalize gradually between stems and buds, preserving terpenes and flavonoids while keeping the product safe. • Environmental awareness: Temperature spikes, stagnant airflow, or dense canopy zones can quickly create pockets for mold — constant monitoring is essential. ⸻ 🌟 Closing Thoughts Week 7 is about resilience, lessons, and triumph over challenges. The Lava Cakes showed their strength even under pressure but needed to be harvested early, so we did it, no fears this is the only way and the way to save the rest of the closet sharing girls We want to celebrate the journey, from seed to harvest, and thank everyone following along for learning and growing with us. The next report will focus entirely on drying, trimming, and tasting — the final step where we get to enjoy the fruits of all the care, attention, and love put into these girls. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 P.S. – Heavy Fruits & Harvest Decision One of the key reasons we decided to harvest Lava Cake #1 this week was how heavy the colas had become. The flowers were so dense and weighty that some branches were starting to bend, snap, and strain under the load. While this is a testament to the plant’s vigor and genetics, it also increased the risk of further bud rot and damage, making an early, careful harvest the safest and most sensible choice. Even under pressure, these girls delivered impressive structure, weight, and resin coverage, proving their strength and quality until the very last moment. Thank you all for being here with me, see you all on the next report, Growers Love to All and never stop believing 🙏🙏🙏

Bisher wachsen die Damen unauffällig / schön. Der Dünger wurde gut angenommen.

Really loved this. Nothing more to say for now lol, it's been my first grow and grew her with 2 wild dwarfs and loved both, would grow them again. Really excited to try it out.

Week 11 - 23.09.2024 - 29.09.2024 Well. Been a week, but I got a second larger grow tent (long story, but ran out of room in the 60*60 :/) so big one now in a 100*100, small one still in 60*60. Lots more room and tested the Light with Photone+Diffusor (tested against a 400Euro Light meter and they were the same +-1%.) plus the smaller plant is now at least 10cm smaller and was getting around half the PPFD, so gave them both seperate suns. So. here is the kicker: My wife informed / reminded me, that I decided to start 3 seeds and only 2 made it. " 2*kalini and one SOMETHING ELSE..... Just proves the point my last grow was good :D If anyone can identify the 2, I'd be grateful. I think it was OG or critical Kush.. but could have been anything really..

Meninas cresceram bastante, e começaram a florir, duas aparecerem algumas machas nas folhas

The girls are really starting to take off now. They are growing on average 1-2 inches a day. we should start to see clear preflower this week.

03.04. Day 64 Flower 40 Hallo Leute seid mir willkommen zu : GRAPE APE F1 die einem beim Riechen zum Niesen bringt. Es kribbelt wie Zitronensäure. Die muss sauer sein. Es gibt immer mehr Lila, auf jeder Traubenaffen F1 die so ca 2 Wochen in Blüte ist. Schick. Die Pflanzen an sich bleiben klein, kein Wachstum. Die Knospen schon 😍. Sie Pludern sich auf, strecken sich und werden bestimmt hart sein. Das habe ich nicht getestet, ich will ihre Entwicklung nicht stören. ❤️ Ich liebe Cannabis zu growen. Das macht so viel Spaß ( wenn es klappt ). Ich bin zwar Großmeister, und meine Knospen sind herrlich, aber meine Pflanzen sehen immer sehr mitgenommen aus. Hüstel(geheucheltes Husten, nur wegen der Dramatik) Wenn ich das kann, kannst du das auch. Es ist legal in Deutschland 3 Pflanzen zu haben. Ich würde sagen Grape Ape auf dem Balkon geht voll klar. Gute Erde dazu. Dünger wäre toll, ist aber kein muss. Die Nachbarn kriegen das auf jeden Fall nicht über den Geruch mit . 1. Dezent 2. Weintrauben 3. Klein Nur so als Gedanke. Ich freue mich jedenfalls über ihr Aussehen ( für mich, nicht schlecht ), und diesen Geruch. So Sauer+Trauben+weed. Ich glaube das ist ne richtige Hardcore INDICA. 😳 Steht ja auch so in der Beschreibung.... 👍 04.04. das 65. Die erste Knospe ist wirklich fertig! 😳😍 Wow , das hätte ich nicht gedacht. Komplett milchig, die Hauptknospe. Mit Licht Gehampel, day 65 ab Keimung, 💪 stark. Natürlich, wer mich kennt, es gibt noch ein Paar Tage. 2 Gründe, mehr Gewicht, und ich hätte gerne ein wenig Amber Trichs. Aber sie riecht geil, ihre Knospen sind fest und klebrig. Ja, und dann kommen ja noch ihre F1 Schwestern. ? Also Wahnsinn. So Schnell. 07.04. dieses eine Blatt hat so krasse Farben. Leuchtend Radioaktiv. Was wird das für weed? So, genau ab jetzt hat sie mich. Die Grape Ape F1. Diese Farben sind 😍. Hat zwar etwas gedauert bis ich fan wurde, wegen wo ist sie denn ( sehr klein, die gröste bisher 47 cm. ) . Aber als sie die Farben änderte, und der Geruch dazu kam fand ich die Interessant. Ist wichtig, denn ich mag Cannabis als Pflanze sehr, da schnell und schön. Und im besten Fall, BUNT. Wie diese hier. Und ich bin gespannt welche Farben die anderen bekommen. Die sind zwar alle ähnlich, aber im Charakter unterschiedlich. Also, ich sage es gleich. Viel kommt da nicht runter. Wie denn auch, ist sehr klein. 21% THC Indica Style. Das geht nur mit kleinen Pflanzen. Indicas sind halt klein. Und schlagen hart zu. Wie Zwerge. Ich liebe Zwerge ( es sei denn ihr habt eine Audienz bei Hochlord von irgendwo. Ich glaube Zwerge sehen nur einmal in ihrem Leben Wasser. Bei der Geburt.👍 Leute ihr müsst die untern Tisch saufen. Nen Zwerg, das ist hart, dann könnt ihr in Baden, wenn er besinnungslos ist. ) Nur so als Tip.

Hey howsit guys Another week gone and one more closer and closer. These ladies are absolutely reeking and all 3 uniquely different . Ran into a bit of maintenance issues (dehumidifier fan seizing ) luckily I’m a bit of a hands on person and managed to save it. Can’t wait till they ready,I’m like a kid in a candy store 🍭. Btw can someone help me with that weird looking fan leaf? Will highly appreciate the enlightenment ⭐️ That’s it for this week guys happy growing all✌️

lowered the ionbeam lights and adjusted all lighting to get even 20k lux everywhere.

1st week of 12/12 light going beautifully. They are doing really well. Although I still experienced root issues. I think this spot is cursed :P

Questa settimana i fiori hanno rallentato la loro crescita ma continuano a produrre copiose quantità di tricomi. Guardando altri diaries su questa stessa genetica ho notato che in molti casi tende ad aumentare il volume delle cime nella 8 e 9 settimana

The girl's flowers are sick :) The girl looks hungry, this week she received Potassium and Epsom salts. this growth is different for me from my previous ones, the temperature difference is almost 10° C :)

So far so good they are starting to fill out the 1/2 and 1 gallon velcro transplant bags with roots very nicely. I still havent fed them any grow nutrients just some mammoth mycos,hardy gro ultra-bio and a liquid soil inoculant i got from ebay. I will them some NPK raw grow and cal/mag next week.

Questa gorilla strawberry è fantastica.un profumo di 🍓 impressionante.. deliziosa 🤤🤤🤤🤤 Dopo la concia sarà Top Top😉😜..boom shiva Shankar..

Another week, some more training, and girls seem healthy and green. No real clear signs of flower yet, meaning it may be bigger girls. Hopefully nice growth in the next week as well. Will continue to water when dry at a PH of 6.2-6.8, with decholrinated tap water and, keeping bottom of fabric pots wet to encourage root growth. Also keeping top soil moist and making sure they are getting decent light exposure. Will be amending top soil around and of week 5. Otherwise been easy and just monitoring heat and humidity. So far been easy to maintain 50-55% and temps from 22-24C during day. Sits between 19-20C at night. Continue to pull top sites down with LST and a couple leaves here and there, but otherwise usually tuck leaves under prime bud sites. I've decided another grow light would be the best way to go. I have bought another light and will update the diary next week with that information!

Week 2 is cruising along, and the lady is looking strong and healthy 💪🏼. Feeding her the full Canna suite with the pH locked at 5.8 and watering every 3-4 days. Everything's on track with no major updates—next week, I'll kick off LST!
