The heat wave has just passed, after 15 days of hell no serious problems to report, few burnt tips, some spots where the water has fallen on the leaves, some bites. Huge beast in full stretching, I've no more options to control the growth. Stay safe Bros

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.

Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 P.S. – Drying After Bud Rot Harvest For Lava Cake #2, we harvested the entire plant and are drying her whole. 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.

Start flower: june 6 2023 The nutrients are 1ml/L calmag 1.3 grams/L drypart bloom Both from T.A. Ph around 6-6.4

Die Pflanzen sind bald Reif zum ernten. Denke das wird die letzte Woche sein.

HOLY CANNOLI! seriously man these things won't give me a freaking break. the good news is that I think chalking my first journal up to a failure led me to flip sooner and dang are these ladies tall! I'm talking WNBA tall lol. Don't hate me but I had no choice with the room's size and learning from the mistakes last time this plant will be under this first SCRO for up to week 3 of flower lol. It gets too dang big otherwise and even though it may be dumb I thought it best to try and I ended up breaking a lot of limbs haha. I taped up some though and I figured this would be the best learning experience in the opposite direction to see just how rough I can be with Vegged plant being flipped. I'm also going to be on top of nutrients better and get that Canna PK in there before the top shooter, booster, and bud Xl. I also have the RH on lock a lot better with a bigger drain bucket for the dehumidifier so it can run continuously with so many plants. I also decided to have some fun and bring the SCROG out and work under the canopy to get something bigger. I do regret the way I overlapped a lot of colas in the corners but it can't be helped with their height. Wish me luck and yell at me yall lol. Also, does anyone have a good example of what a bud should really look like throughout flower. a pheno that matches mine really.

New week starts! 🌞05.12.2022 This day began with smell rising. I think flowering starts. There's a few pestels in every knot (but not on a top). Watered my girls with nutrients without 'Roots' stimulator. I should stop to give it a long time ago, I hope it gave no harm. Soon when the odour will become too intensive I'll turn my filters on. It will be very noizy, that's why I want to do this as late as possible. 🌞06.12.2022 'SeaWeed' spraying today. I changed distance to lamps. Now it's 40sm. Temperature didn't rise, so it's OK. Upd: I made some LST on evening. It's a last training for them, I guess. 🌞07.12.2022 Pre-flowering stage started! I turned on third 100W lamp. Now it's 300W total. Fed my girls with GHE pre-flowering nutrients complect. Sprayed with 'SeaWeed', as usual. 🌞08.12.2022 Today I came home from my job to see both girls increased in their high dramatically, +5cm in 24hrs. Maybe it's because of feeding, maybe lights, maybe auto flowers act like this, I don't know. But I saw larger distance between knots there. I was forced to do one more LST procedure (result is on photo). Also, I sprayed my 'BPPa's' with 'SeaWeed' (as usual) and moved pots closer to each other to place them in a gaps between three lamps of mine. I'll feed them tomorrow. 🌞09.12.2022 Today I noticed brown tips on the my babies leaves. #1 has alot of it and #2 kinda few. I considered to water them with 'GHE Clean' solution one time, next time I'll give them half of a nutrients dose. Smell gets stronger. Tomorrow I'll turn my main ventilator with two carbon filters I have from the previous grow. 🌞10.12.2022 Yesterday I flushed my plants with 'GHE Cleen' solution 2ml/l. Today I do nothing. Tomorrow I'll give them 75% from previous feed formula. 🌞11.12.2022 I putted small amount of sulfur in an upper layer of substrate, ~10g/m². Watered my plants with 75% from 'pre flowering' GHE recommendation. Sprayed leaves with 'SeaWeed'. Week ends.

Update coming.

I grew them in soil, watered the first 5 weeks and then started nutrients and barely fed them, maybe 4 waterings total

En esta actualización se incluyen 2 semanas ya que por trabajo me fue imposible añadir la semana anterior. El día 15 de Agosto recibió la segunda pulverización de Bacillus Thuringiensis para prevenir el ataque de las orugas. Sigo alternando riego de agua un día con riego de Ascophillum Nodosum al día siguiente. He dejado de regar con Cannazym.

Week 11 flower I tied down the lower budding branches to see what happ Cruising along it’s been raining and humid so I got a small dehu runnin Looking good Iam excited about this one The smell on this one, I will sometimes just sit and sniff her she smells so good , the smell to me is like grape cotton candy bubblegum and slightly floral but no musty or funk whats

Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow. First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. I put some pictures on the construction here in week one. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of ​​3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable theme in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 8 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. Today I have put my seeds in my moisture dome and hope the seeds have germinated within a few days. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this Blue cheese Auto from Royal queen seeds will turn out. Blue Cheese automatic cannabis seeds are a cross of Blueberry Automatic and Cheese Automatic that has been perfected over five years of breeding and careful selection. The result is a feminized, autoflowering strain with superior yield, flavor, and effects to either of its distinguished parent strains. THC: 16% CBD: Low Yield Indoor : 325 - 375 gr/m2 Yield Outdoor: 60 - 110 gr/plant Height Indoor: 40 - 70 cm Height Outdoor: 60 - 110 cm Flowering: 7 - 8 weeks Harvest month: 9-10 weeks after planting Genetic Background: Blueberry x Cheese x Ruderalis Type: Sa 35% In 40% Ru 25% Effect: Cerebral and uplifting Climate: Mild .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. 2017-09-11.

My tiny potter is doing pretty good. It is a hard grow with the plant this size. The window for ph error is very small since it dries the potter out in a few hours. It is very root bound, and drainage is very slow. I been feeding 2 to 3 times a day if I get the chance. I got a little nute burn when I increased nutrition a little too early. The twin tops might of gotten too close to the light as it stretched. Regardless it's looking pretty good for a tiny potter. She is bulking now, still under the Mars Hydro FC4800 light. nothing much else to report. Thank you Mars Hydro. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Day 50-10/12/21 some are behind others but there’s this one plant that’s going purple I think it’s gonna be great!!!!

Die Dancing Sprite hat deutlich an Volumen gewonnen und bildet nun kräftige Seitentriebe aus. Das Blattwerkk wirkt sehr vital und die Pflanze zeigt eine perfekt Symmetrie, was auf ein starkes Wurzelsystem hindeutet. Wenn's so weiter geht, kann ich bald das erste mal toppen und mit LST starten.

Excelente planta não deu mais rendimento por minha culpa mas é algo que estamos sempre aprender

Gave a feed as had let them dry up a wee bit and am good for watering or should I say over watering so need to keep tellin maself less is more less is more also hav enuff feed to last so at least a know the plants won’t go hungry the amount a spent on feed n soil a coulda dun a 2 week shopping at Fukin marks n Spencer’s lol also spent 40 qwid on bio heaven they say it’s the coffee for your plants witever that means anyone who has used this product please comment n let me know how it worked for you even if ye were not impressed let me know

So far so good 🤘 Blumat watering system works great. No feeding other than water. Might do a little compost tea later. Le système d’arrosage automatique Blumat fonctionne nickel, pas de nutriments autre que de l’eau. On fera ptet un ptit thé de compost plus tard.

Bugs 🐜 hav been problem and will get worse before better
