🌿 Lava Cake – Week 5 (First Week Flower) | Pre-Bloom & Heat Talk 🌿 The Lava Cakes have officially stepped into their flowering tent… though, to be fair, they’re still enjoying a little extra veg time before showing pistils. Both phenos are healthy, lush, and stretching beautifully, clearly ready for the show ahead. ⸻ 📸 Photo Studio Glam We took them out for another studio shoot, bright lights, clean background, and every angle showing off their deep greens and perfect branching. Soon, their beauty will be dressed in flowers, but for now, the leaf structure alone is worthy of the spotlight. ⸻ 🌡️ Current Conditions • Room Temp: 31°C • Humidity: 50.3% • VPD: 2.23 kPa • PPFD: 766 µmol/m²/s • Soil EC: ~2.0 • Soil Temp: 25.6°C Yes, the temperature is running hot — AC unit is on the way to lock it back into our ideal zone. ⸻ 💬 Heat in the Grow Room – Risks & Benefits Potential Risks: • Faster substrate drying = more frequent irrigation needed • Higher transpiration rates can stress plants if roots can’t keep up • Slightly increased risk of light stress at high PPFD without proper cooling • Possible reduced terpene retention if sustained into late flower Possible Benefits (short term in veg/pre-flower): • Accelerated metabolism — plants grow and stretch faster • Increased water/nutrient uptake (if well-fed and watered on time) • Can improve CO₂ usage efficiency if levels are high enough Bottom line: As long as they’re hydrated, fed, and ventilated, short bursts of high temp are manageable. But for flowering, we want to keep daytime temps closer to 24–28°C for optimal quality. ⸻ 💧 Watering Strategy We water when the soil dries to about 25% moisture remaining, this encourages: • Stronger root growth searching for water • Better oxygenation of the root zone • Less risk of root rot in warm temps Right now: They’re drinking daily due to the heat, so we’re feeding daily as well. ⸻ Current Feeding (per L of water) • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml • Aptus All-in-One Liquid – 1 ml • Aptus Top Booster – 0.25 ml With the increased drinking rate, nutrient uptake has increased — meaning no signs of deficiency, just steady lush green. ⸻ 🚀 Looking Ahead • AC installation will stabilize temps, allowing tighter VPD control • First signs of pistils should appear within the next 7–10 days • We’ll begin adjusting feed ratios for early bloom once flowers set • Light intensity will climb further as stretch continues ⸻ 💚 Closing Note: This week is all about momentum, heat or no heat, the Lava Cakes are pushing upward, prepping themselves for a heavy flower load. The environment tweaks are on the way, and we’re building them the perfect stage for their bloom performance. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

ill add info soon

Photoperiod buds 🤩 The smell is absolutely divine very fruity,sweet & tropical🍋🍊🍉🍌 Solid like a diamond 💎 Bay harbor butcher’s trim to show the density

Shes the only one and shes the best of the box.... Big plants big yield. Good resin and good smell 🙂🙃

Day 23 I made many mistakes this is my second indoor grow I showed a glimpse of my first in the video . Day 23 she is starting to finally get taller I had my light way to close so she wasn't getting any taller at all just fat anyways now she'll start growing have mer some fish emulsion three days ago then the hairs are Poppin so I gave her a teaspoon of more bloom.

Could have let her ripe a little longer and let lower buds fatten up more, but I've decided it's time now. Harvested on 09.Nov.2023-Day 70 This little plant produced a lot of nice Business just 70 days. I am very happy with Gorilla Cookies and will definetly grow it again. Thé plant loves LST and its highly recommended to increse thé yield. It felt like flower starts in week 3 but the plant continues to grow until like week 9 or 10..so high yield in short time is not just possible but likely.

The hulk is swelling up at a rapid clip I think she'll have some big buds on her. Started giving less grow down to 2 ml per gal and more bloom. Added in some TNB co2 as well which I usually only use on the autos. Instead of feeding on the previous feed I gave them the enhancer from green house feeding just humic acids and enzymes and they responded very well as I think there was beginning to be a build up. I'm happy with how they look right now.

Adding water level checks to the NodeRED code to prevent pump from running when water level is too low. Read more here: https://hackaday.io/project/188129-rhaspberry-pi4-basic-watering-system-for-balcony

The colas keep filling out and getting longer and smell amazing. It's been warmer and more humid outside so RH in the tent has gone up. I added a mini air purifier I wasn't using (no ozone) as an extra precaution against mildew. I woke up in the middle of the night on Monday and realized that the air purifier has a light on it so I got up and turned it off. I was worried that I'd messed with the dark cycle so I left them in darkness for an extra 2.5 hours. My cool tube fan fell off the next day, onto my plants. They look undamaged. I taped it up again and set up a safety wire like the filter and fan have. I need a better solution for next cycle. The buds are beautiful and having an even canopy is great. It's hard not thinking about the end result. The buds still look small compared to the big colas of a traditional grow shape but there's still a couple weeks left. There is some bud formation under the canopy but it's a little light. The tops of the colas are fat but short on the 7 gallon plants and taller and thinner on the 5 gallon plants. I did leave a couple offshoots on that developed in late veg/early flower. By the time I caught them, I felt they were too mature to chop and I thought they helped fill out certain areas. But those ones have fewer bud sites and tend to be just a cola on a branch that shoots straight up which is still good. I do wonder if less crowding would have given me bigger buds, but I think it has more to do with pot size. This is week 7 of flower. I switched to half strength nutes and started adding fancy molasses (18ml/gallon). I broke my pH tester and didn't replace my SCROG net until after I finally watered the next day so the canopy changed a bit. I took the opportunity to rearrange the plants a bit. Crystal formation increased a crazy amount the day after I started adding molasses. I think I'll keep adding molasses even during flush. The CBD Blue Shark has this really beautiful white glow. The pistils are very strong and white and the trichromes reflect back this silver light. The leaves are a nice semi-glossy dark green which gives great contrast. It's just a beautiful plant. The Wedding Cake has a lot more colour with lots of red hairs and some yellow tones in the pistils. The fan leaves are more prone to yellowing and death than the leaves on the CBD BS. The buds seem more structurally dense and are really working on these pyramid shapes that look like delicious orange and green snacks. The buds on the CBD Blue Shark are more symmetrical and kind of otherworldly like some kind of sea creature.

Hallo und herzlich Willkommen zu einem etwas anderen Gropwbericht. Die Blueberry Zkittlez Automatic von Sensi Seeds (der Strain heißt jetzt Blueberry Candiez Automatic) hatte ich letztes Jahr bereits angebaut und war vom Geschmack total begeistert. Deshalb baue ich den jetzt wieder an und dazu die Blueberry Automatic von Zamnesia Seeds, die schon einige Zeit in meiner Samenbank liegt. Mal sehen, wie sich die Pflanzen unterscheiden. Die URL der Blueberry Automatic von Zamnesia Seeds: https://www.zamnesia.com/de/3323-zamnesia-seeds-blueberry-automatic-feminisiert.html Die URL der Blueberry Zkittlez Automatic von Sensi Seeds: https://sensiseeds.com/de/research/blueberry-candiez-automatic Beide Strains erhalten die gleichen Bedingungen. Beide stehen in einem 9 Liter doppellagigen Stofftopf von ROOTIES (ChillWelten war der Vorgänger der Firma, heute heissen alle ROOTIES), beide haben die Sonnenerde Bio Hanferde und bekommen und später gibt's noch eine Mulchschicht mit Sonnenerde Bio Faser. Beide haben am Anfang eine Bioledex mit 10W im gleichen Abstand. Tag 60: Die Blueberry Automatic von Zamnesia Seeds hat wie alle anderen SF-Nematoden, Florfliegenlarven, Raubmilben Amblyseius cucumeris und californicus bekommen. Tag 62: Die Blueberry Auto hat bereits vollkommen reife Blüten, keine hellen Fäden mehr zu sehen. Dagegen sind bei der Blueberry Zkittlez die meisten Blütenfäden noch weis. Schau mal wieder rein, wenn es dir gefallen hat. Schönes Wochenende und bleibt friedlich und humorvoll. ✋😎

Didn't have a lot of time this week so she missed her waterings for a couple of days, also didn't empty the dehydrator so humidity was up a few days. Installed a second cheap blurple led on the side, but doubt this will really help much. Having some trouble keeping temps up as winter is coming and I dont have a heater in my garage

Ende der sechsten Woche: Die Pflanzen wurden heute ein letztes mal entlaubt. Bis zur Ernte bleibts jetzt so - außer irgendwelche Blätter geben von alleine den Geist auf. Der Geruch ist inzwischen wirklich heftig! Der Aktivkohlefilter leistet aber gute Arbeit, daher gehts klar. Nach wie vor werden die Buds dicker und dicker. Sie sehen etwas weit für ihr Alter aus, aber ich schiebs mal aufs Adlite… Die Blüten sitzen VOLL mit Trichomen - bin wirklich gespannt, wie das Endprodukt wird.
