Big phatty is healthy as and ready to flip into flower, defoliating on the reg and spreading her out some more . Here comes the stretch

flush has started 4 days ago. Her buds are swelling up and she is getting pretty close. Trichomes are mostly cloudy. here is day 56 of flowering

Fourth week the plants are growing very well, with very dense foliage. I performed the first defoliation and applied LST on G1 and G2 that were already with a larger structure to plan the size of the cannopie.

Begining of the week two from germination , + 8 cm. Day 8 just water ph 6 Day 9 rest Day 10 rest , + 2 cm Day 11 watering Day 12 rest Day 13 FOL fish mix , cal/mag extra Day 14 rest

Week 13! We made it to harvest! The buds are looking gorgeous..bright green super crystally from that 48 hours of darkness prior..and oh so many hints of purple all thanks to my efforts of cooling down temps at night. Smelling absolutely dank right after drying which was a nice teaser for me when I get to finally smoke her! I have two plants chopped one is still drying and I’ll probably add one more photo because it had one fat cola that needs to be shared LOL! Unfortunately this plant was 6 grams short of giving me 2 full ounces but i’m still learning and they weren’t trained at all and I’m happy with the result! I think the plant still hanging will give me an ounce or less..it was my corner plant that didn’t get much tending. What a fun strain to grow will update on the smoke eventually!

Ciao a tutti! Ho saltato le prime due settimane di crescita, perciò partirò dalla terza. Il giorno 15 ho sostituito la mia vecchia lampada Niello crew cob da 600 Watt (falsi) ad una MarsHydro TS2000 da 300 Watt (reali). In soli tre giorni ho potuto vedere una crescita incredibile degli internodi. Come substrato ho usato BioBizz, 35% all mix - 65% light mix. Per le prime settimane solo acqua con pH 6.2/6.3 e all'occorrenza 2 ml/l di olio di Neem (ho avuto un infestazione di moscerini proveniente dal sottosuolo, al momento sotto controllo). Sono sprovvisto di umidificatore, perciò all'occorrenza bagno le pareti per avere dei valori migliori (senza intervenire l'umidità si stabilizza al 47%, bagnando cerco di mantenerla >50/55%).

Net installed, last week of 18/6. I expect a lot of stretching starting this week, as a "pre-flower time" begins.

So we're in week 3 veg , they've mostly outgrown their mutated leaves now and looking strong.

This is the first week of the plants being above soil, we did lose one but we are germinating another to replace that. I think the one we lost was due to heat stress, the others are holding up pretty well, there is another one that showed signs of heat stress, we just moved it a little deeper in the tent and it seems to be doing okay.

🌿 Lava Cake – Week 6 (2nd Week Flower) | Morphing Into Bloom 🌿 The Lava Cakes are officially stepping deeper into flower mode. Stretch is slowing down, morphology is shifting, the leaves, the stance, the energy of the plants are clearly moving toward bloom. Even without a huge photo set this week, the video walkthrough tells the full story: happy, thriving plants under carefully tuned conditions. ⸻ 📖 A Quick Recap – From Seed to Here • Seedling Stage: Strong germination, started in solo cups with Aptus support, rooting fast. • Veg Growth: Transplanted into fabric pots, lush branching, topped and trained with ease. • Environment Setup: TrolMaster ecosystem dialed in step by step — exhausts, intakes, carbon filters, sensors. • Lighting Evolution: Black Series 600 → Future of Grow LEDs → ThinkGrow Model 1 → now with a Lumatek Zeus Compact Pro 465W and the ThinkGrow ICL-300 added to the lineup. The room is a galaxy of light. • Nutrition Journey: From Aptus start boosters to super soil base, steadily adapted feeding. Now, the recipe grows richer for flowering. Each step has built the foundation for what’s happening now, the Lava Cakes standing strong in early flower. ⸻ 🍽️ This Week’s Feeding Recipe We swapped Start Booster for Top Booster and layered in a new experiment: Plagron trio support. Current Mix (per L water): • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml • Aptus Top Booster – 0.25 ml • Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml • Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml • Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml The Aptus All-in-One Liquid is on pause for now, pellets in the soil still provide baseline nutrition. This new combo is about flower initiation + terpene support + bio-stimulants. It’s partly science, partly intuition — but that’s how discoveries are made. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment This Week • Room Temp: Up to 34°C (AC unit coming soon to stabilize) • Humidity: 60–70% at times • VPD: ~1.89 kPa • Soil Moisture: Watered when dry-down hits 19–20% • Monitoring: TrolMaster WCS Substrate Sensor → reading EC, moisture %, and soil temp straight to Tent-X brain Conditions aren’t perfect, but the girls are handling it gracefully. Warmth makes them thirsty, and with careful irrigation + sensor data, they’re drinking daily and staying strong. ⸻ 💡 Lights of the Garden • Future of Grow LED • ThinkGrow Model 1 and ICL-300 • Lumatek Zeus Compact Pro 465W All tied into the TrolMaster network. The room is now a layered ecosystem of precision — light spread, airflow, and CO₂ distribution tuned for a canopy that can handle big flower production ahead. ⸻ 🐝 A Note for Nature – The Bees Alongside all this controlled technology, we can’t forget the real farmers of the world: bees. A photo this week shows a bee at work, pollinating. Without bees, there would be no flowers, not in the garden, not in the fields, not in the orchards. They are nature’s TrolMaster, carrying genetics forward, balancing ecosystems, ensuring that plants fulfill their destiny. In our indoor rooms, we simulate everything: light, water, air, food. But bees remind us of the real story outside, a world built on quiet pollination, day by day. A fairytale where the smallest wings sustain the biggest cycles of life. So this week, the Lava Cakes bloom under LEDs, and the bees bloom under the sun. 🌞🐝 ⸻ 🚀 Looking Ahead • AC will stabilize the room climate and drop stress levels. • Flowers will set fully, with pistils stacking over the next 7–10 days. • Plagron trio will show its effects, watching closely for flavor, resin, and density changes. • More light power may be added as the canopy demands. ⸻ ✨ Closing Thought: Even on a busy week, even with just a video instead of many photos, the story of these Lava Cakes is alive. They’re moving into flower with strength, under lights, with data guiding them — but always with love as the main ingredient. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Let’s Go Day 47 of 🌺!! These girls are looking so amazing for the most part , on the other hand we got a lil bit of a deficiency on one of the Dirtyblondes, hopefully it’s not too much to worry about so probably gonna go ahead an start flush on the 2 Dirtyblondes and one of the pre98 s this weekend cause they are looking pretty close to being done, hopefully they should be fine! I hope you all enjoy an have an amazing productive day as well as a great upcoming weekend! peace love an positive vibes to all y’all Cheers 😶‍🌫️💨💨💨💨💨🤙🏻

Ordered a scale the other day so should have some more numbers tomorrow! Not going to sample anything until I get the scale, then I'll update with some more details.

This diary is to follow plants except the 3 in large containers already

Weekly update. Sorry it was a late update this week I was out of town (Bizcon2024). Wow have they grown, I'd say doubling in size. I've upped the watering to 1000ml daily, this week I'll do a major defoliation and lollipoping. All in all Happy Growing

Last week of vegetative stage. I will be flipping next week and start the flowering stage. I'm looking at 9 mains colas and 4 smaller ones. From now on, I'll do occasional defoliation as she is obviously an indica dominant strain (despite breeder saying it's a 50/50) I was scared of her stretching too much and outgrowing my 6' height tent. This was a mistake and if I would do things differently, I would let her vege another 2 or even 3 weeks. She grew rather small in height

This week started of good except for ph and iron. I'm phing feed and water to 6 but my naturally 7.6 ph water is raising ph. I've realized my water and organic soil don't have iron in them. It's keeping these from greening up properly. I do have blood meal in the soil but not enough. I'll be adding an iron supplement next week when it arrives. Until then I'm going to feed a little masses and blood meal with the ph water. I've had a difficult learning curve switching from coco and salts to organic and soil. #2 got topped on day 1. I'm going to clone this top so I'll have this plant for the future.

Lights 6500EVO 9(650w) UV (50w) 15min a hr, Under canopy (86w) 12hrs, IR 15min pre and post main lights, Deep Red 20min per hour pH 6.2 EC 2.5 PPFD 1150-1300(with DR on) These things are wonderful 👍👍

Hallo an alle Gartenfreunde, dieses mal gibt es reichlich zu erzählen. Zuerst einmal, dieses Tagebuch sollte so ganz und gar nicht verlaufen. Wir Bitten betreffend dahingehend einmal um Verzeihung bzw. Nachsicht! Aus der Not heraus entstand eine Erde, die mit jeder Woche unbrauchbarer wurde. Sie war so arg am arbeiten, dass sie gestern morgen Samstag d. 17.05.25 einen Boden mS- Wert von sagenhaften 2,96 aufwies. Ähm ja... wie und warum Sie noch stehen, dass ist eine Frage die wir uns nicht so schnell beantworten können ^^😇 Letzte Woche um diese Zeit lag der Wert bei 1,9 mS was auch krass zu hoch war. Den Wert hatten wir genommen weil wir wieder eine Woche am Jonglieren waren. Alle 2 Tage sind die Sonnensegel bis zum Mittag kaum hochgekommen. Es war so als würde man gegen Windmühlen arbeiten. Zu dem kam ja noch wie zu erwarten ein Nährstoffblock was wieder rum ein Mangel an Mikro- Nährstoffe hervorgerufen hat. Da in dem Bereich vieles miteinander verbunden ist um überhaupt verwertet zu können, ist es schwer das einzige Element aus zu machen was wohl mehr Nährstoffe und oder gar weniger benötigt. Insgesamt macht das auch spaß, den sogenannten Fehler ausfindig zu machen aber auf einen solchem Zeitraum ist es nur mehr als Kraftraubend. z.B Schlaf, was ist das? ^^ Hahaha Zunächst haben wir uns auch nochmal die Werte des Leitungswassers über ein Onlineportal des ansässigen Stadtwerks angeschaut. Wir haben hier einen sehr geringen Anteil an Calcium aber einen sehr hohen Anteil an Magnesium. Im Ausgang schon schlecht weil man beides in einem verabreicht (Calmag) Betreffend dessen wurde klar, hier muss eine Lösung her, sonst stünde dem bevorstehendem (Log out) nichts mehr im Wege. Ergo: Einzige Möglichkeit, zurück zur alten Schule, neue Erde (sehr neutral) und alle 3 Damen wurden gestern Abend zum dritten umgetopft. Statt 15 L haben sie jetzt 20 l. Es war der reine Wahnsinn... Wir waren sprachlos, die Wurzeln sind komplett nur in der zuletzt nachgegebenen Erde eingewachsen. Sprich so ca. 10- 15 cm tief. Die Umgebung und das neue Zelt, einfach ohne Worte... Dennoch war das aller wichtigste, dass Sie alle diesen Stress überleben und uns am Ende doch Bitte mit wenigstens einem zufriedenstellenden Ergebnis belohnen werden. Das Autopot- System hat soweit gut funktioniert, nur nicht mit dieser bescheidenen Erde. Nun schlussendlich hoffen wir, dass sich jetzt schnell erholen und richtig reinhauen werden, da die Secret Source eine etwas andere Figur macht. Aber war ja im vorstand identische Vorgehensweise. Nur das wir bei ihr schneller reagiert haben. Allgemein sind die ersten Eindrücke bis hierhin positiv. AAAAAber es ist wie es ist, es kann noch alles möglich sein. Dem muss man sich bewusst sein. Unser ,,Jahfri,, der auf die Pflanzen aufpasst, birgt viel Kraft die mit euren tollen zusprechenden Kommentaren sich rein nur positiv auswirken können. Vielen Dank dafür und an diejenigen die bei uns vorbeischauen, kommentieren und ggf. Folgen. Wir wünschen in Diesem Sinne noch einen angenehmen Sonntag und eine Erfolgreiche neue tolle Woche! VG 😎
