Day 78: watering 2 gal of ph water a few amber trichomes on some buds extended night cycle to 20/4 Day 82: trimmed off most fan leafs hung up to dry have a humidifier to keep it 50-60% and the temp will be 50-70ยฐF smells super good again. Day 88: put into jars havent trimmed yet about 12 to 15 grams in each jar and there 12 jars so im guessing about 4 oz total after trimming Finished trimming finally have been curing for 8 days dank smell more and more everyday. Ended up with a dry weight of: 4.39 Oz Smoked 1 test joint and tasted alot like a dryer sheet. 31.45 grams of trim I will make into wax

1st day 5th week of veg.......Bushing out well still got a little space to fill before allowing them to shoot up only a week or 2 away from flipping the reefereshers plant to flower as it will double to triple the length in the flower phase ... had issue with air flow as was only using a circulation fan . So I have installed a carbon filter and black orchid extractor fan and a temperature n humidity sensor so hopefully that helps ..... The 2 autos are coming along great in the tent atleast 3/4 branches off both of them .I've used lst on both of them tieing the tops down and allowing more light penetration to the lower canopy .... The autos are 1x critical x northern lights auto 1x cash crop auto (northern lights x big bud)

I lollipop them today!!!!!๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ It's their 37 day and they just started getting into Flower and getting taller so I Lollipoped them and did a little bit of defoliation so the light will get to the bit lower buds sites since I did some LST in a bit later stage which went incredible. But it meant some buds sites are big but still a bit lower in comparison so I didn't take them out of course. And i did some SCroG but took it out the day before the lollipop and we'll see if the girls are fine I will put it back in 2 days or so depending on the plant growth

๐Ÿฐ Lava Cake โ€“ Week 8 (4th Week Flower) | The Bulking Phase The fourth week of flower has arrived, and both Lava Cakes are showing their full potential. Their structure is strong, pistils are snow-white and thick, and bud sites are stacking beautifully. This is the week where the promise of flowers begins to turn into visible production, every day, you can almost see them swelling. โธป ๐Ÿ”ฌ Whatโ€™s Happening in Week 4 Flower By now, stretch is nearly finished. The plants are redirecting their energy: โ€ข From vertical growth โž into flower bulk. โ€ข From nitrogen demand โž into phosphorus & potassium demand. โ€ข From building structure โž into packing density. This transition is crucial: the roots, the soil microbiology, and the nutrient profile all work together to feed flowers instead of stems and leaves. What we see this week: โ€ข Thick, healthy pistils at every site. โ€ข Calyx swelling beginning, the first signs of true bud stacking. โ€ข Leaves still dark and strong โ€” proof of balanced nutrition. โ€ข No stress, no burn, no deficiencies. โธป ๐Ÿฅค Feeding Strategy โ€“ Why Boosters Matter Now This week, we removed the Aptus All-in-One Liquid, despite it being in the photo. The reason: the soilโ€™s super soil base + slow-release pellets still carry enough NPK to support the girls. Overfeeding at this stage could risk tip burn or nutrient lockout โ€” and we want the roots to stay clean and active. Instead, the focus is on precision boosters: Recipe (per L water): โ€ข Aptus Regulator โ€“ 0.15 ml โ†’ strengthens cell walls, stress protection, and nutrient uptake efficiency. โ€ข Aptus CalMag Boost โ€“ 0.25 ml โ†’ keeps calcium steady (critical for bud structure) and magnesium strong (photosynthesis & chlorophyll). โ€ข Plagron Power Buds โ€“ 1 ml โ†’ directs plant energy into flower production. โ€ข Plagron Sugar Royal โ€“ 1 ml โ†’ provides organic nitrogen + enzymes to stimulate terpene development. โ€ข Plagron Green Sensation โ€“ 1 ml โ†’ PK booster + biostimulant, promoting dense, resin-rich flowers. Why this mix? โ€ข Because the NPK in soil is still sufficient โ†’ boosters fill in the extra needs of flowering without overwhelming the root zone. โ€ข Because boosters provide specialized roles โ†’ each product targets a specific physiological process. โ€ข Because balance prevents problems โ†’ overdoing NPK at week 4 could backfire, while focused boosters guide the plants safely into mid-bloom. โธป ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Environmental Notes โ€ข Temps: Still ~31โ€“34ยฐC until AC arrives. High, but plants are adapting. โ€ข Humidity: 55โ€“60%, VPD ~1.8โ€“2.0 kPa โ€” slightly high, but still manageable. โ€ข Watering Rhythm: Once substrate moisture falls near 19โ€“20%, measured by TrolMaster WCS substrate sensor. This ensures roots get oxygen before each feed. Even under warm conditions, the plants are drinking heavily โ€” proving they are metabolically active and thriving. โธป ๐ŸŒธ What to Expect Next Week (Week 5 Flower) โœ… Expect: โ€ข Noticeable bulking โ†’ flowers will become rounder, denser, and begin to โ€œstack.โ€ โ€ข More pistils โ†’ a full carpet of white hairs covering colas. โ€ข Aroma development โ†’ the first hints of Lava Cakeโ€™s dessert-like terpene profile may start releasing. โŒ Not to Expect (yet): โ€ข Full frost coverage โ†’ heavy trichome production usually comes weeks 5โ€“7. โ€ข Final density โ†’ buds will continue swelling for several weeks, so patience is key. โธป โœจ Closing Thoughts Week 4 flower is the foundation of yield. Itโ€™s when the plants finish their stretch, define their bud sites, and begin to convert light, water, and nutrients into the weight and density we harvest later. Our Lava Cakes are in perfect rhythm: โ€ข Strong genetics, showing symmetrical growth. โ€ข Balanced feeding, keeping roots clean and buds fueled. โ€ข Stable environment, with monitoring from TrolMaster guiding every adjustment. From here forward, every day brings visible progress. The journey of seeds to now feels like preparation โ€” this is the beginning of the true show. ๐Ÿ”ฌ Science Spotlight โ€“ The Unsung Heroes: Calcium & Magnesium Many growers focus on NPK during flower, but two โ€œquiet playersโ€ โ€” calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) โ€” are just as vital to ensure flowers bulk properly. ๐ŸŒฟ Calcium (Ca): โ€ข Strengthens cell walls, making flowers denser and less prone to collapse. โ€ข Improves nutrient transport, ensuring phosphorus and potassium (the bloom drivers) actually reach the buds. โ€ข Helps roots resist stress in warm environments (like our 31โ€“34ยฐC room). ๐ŸŒฟ Magnesium (Mg): โ€ข The central atom in chlorophyll โ†’ without magnesium, photosynthesis collapses. โ€ข Supports enzyme activity, converting sugars into energy for bud building. โ€ข Directly influences terpene production, giving flowers their aroma and flavor. Why CalMag Boost now? โ€ข In soil mixes, calcium can sometimes get โ€œlocked upโ€ as the pH fluctuates. โ€ข With daily watering at slightly acidic pH (5.8โ€“6.0), we guarantee Ca and Mg are immediately available. โ€ข This ensures strong, vibrant leaves โ†’ which means more energy for flower sites. In short: while NPK builds the skeleton of yield, calcium and magnesium are the glue and spark that hold it all together. Skipping them would weaken the entire flowering process. โœจ Growerโ€™s Analogy: Think of your plant like a construction site: โ€ข NPK are the bricks and beams (the main structure). โ€ข Calcium is the cement holding every wall together. Without it, the structure would crumble. โ€ข Magnesium is the spark plug in the engine โ€” it makes photosynthesis โ€œrunโ€ and fuels the work crews building the flowers. No cement, no structure. No spark plug, no engine. Thatโ€™s why CalMag support is never optional โ€” especially in flower when the demand skyrockets. ๐ŸŒธ ๐Ÿ“ฒ Donโ€™t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Flowering day 11 since time change to 12/12 h. Hey guys :-) The first days of this week it looked really terrible for me because it was much too cold because of the unusual temperature. The heating mat has now also arrived for the big tent and lo and behold the plants have been developing really well since that day โ˜บ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘. The temperature doesn't keep quite as well as in the small box, but at least I don't get below 18 degrees in the pots at night anymore, even though it's only 16 at the top ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ‘. Since I switched to flowering, it was time to rinse off a bit with Clean Fruits :-) . Did them a lot of good. You have already received the first watering with Grow Liquid and the next in a mix with Bloom Liquid ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ‘. Otherwise everything was cleaned and checked.

se ve un incremento en tricomas, ya el olor esta muy penetrante. ademas algunos brazos se doblaron lo que provoco que las amarrara para poder sostenerlas. en la proxima semana se sacara todo nutriente que contenga nitrogeno, dando ya el engorde final.

Week 9 (aka day 63) According to the strain report, today would of been the day of harvest (if perfectly grown) Since I am not a master grower, it appears she needs more time. ha She is coming along great though! Super frosty and the flowers along the stems are starting to pack on weight. According to other grow diaries I've read, the harvest day will probably be in one month 3/3/21 (12 weeks total) If you notice my tent is a bit crammed, that's the only thing that's not ideal lol I am watering every three days with 6.0 phd water with 1 tablespoon of molasses and 1 teaspoon of SuperNova mixed into a gallon or more of water. Please let me know if you have any suggestions/ questions/ concerns. I am getting excited about harvest day! It's not to far away :) Wish me luck in the end stretch! lol Happy Growing everyone
