Week 5 for my plant so far it might be 4 more week to go, i have cut down a little bit of nitrogen The bud get nicer and got more trichomes but it seem not harden up by now. I have 5 large branches as in the video and 5 other small branches, how many gram dry will i get anyone have a guess i'm excited the last picture is the bud i cut down because the downside of it has greymold, i dry it for 5 day and cure for 6 day seem pretty nice, enter your thought :) If there anything i would do in this stay to maximize the crop, need suggestion

🍰 Lava Cake – Final Harvest & Smoke Report GrowDiaries | Week 8 (Harvest & Cure) After months of dedication, lessons, and love, our Lava Cake journey comes to a close — and what an ending it is. Both phenotypes reached maturity beautifully, wrapped in dense, resin-coated buds that carry the unmistakable aroma of sweetness and spice. 🌱 From Seed to Harvest — A Journey in Full Bloom Our Lava Cake journey began from seed with two unique phenotypes, both full of potential and personality. Week after week, through careful nutrition, TrolMaster monitoring, and endless observation, we watched them evolve. From the early stages of vegetative vigor, through the lush canopy of mid-flower, and even through the challenges of heat and bud rot, these girls showed true resilience. Each setback taught something — about balance, airflow, humility, and the living rhythm of nature. Both plants were ultimately harvested with respect and gratitude. ⸻ ✂️ Harvest & Trimming After about two weeks of slow drying at 60°F / 60% RH, the branches began to snap — a sure sign the moisture was just right. Each plant was trimmed by hand, carefully and patiently, letting every calyx, pistil, and trichome tell its own story. The buds were dense, sticky, and heavily frosted — a trimmer’s delight. Finger hash collected along the way was pure gold, rich in aroma and bursting with terpenes. Each snip of the scissors felt like sculpting something sacred. Both plants were dried whole, allowing for slower moisture migration and a smoother final cure. ⸻ 🌿 On Trichomes and Harvest Timing We chose to harvest when most trichomes were cloudy, with only a few still clear and very few amber. This moment — just before full amber maturity — is where potency meets flavor at its peak. Why cloudy trichomes? Because that’s when cannabinoids like THC and terpenes are at their maximum activity. Too early, and you lose potency; too late, and THC starts converting into CBN, giving a heavier, sleepier effect. Cloudy trichomes deliver a balanced high — euphoric yet grounding — capturing the essence of the strain in its full potential. ⸻ 🌸 Aroma, Taste & Effects The Lava Cake lives up to her name and lineage. Her rich terpene profile brings waves of sweet baked goods, layered with berry and grape undertones inherited from her Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies x Grape Pie heritage. When smoked, she’s smooth, creamy, and sweet, leaving a lingering flavor on the palate that feels like dessert for the senses. The effects are deeply relaxing, melting away tension and replacing it with calm contentment. This isn’t a beginner’s strain — her high is potent, steady, and full-bodied. A few tokes are enough to drift into a deeply peaceful, happy state. Perfect for evenings, rest days, or moments when the world needs to slow down. ⸻ 🌬️ Curing — Grove Bags & UV Glass Jars After trimming, buds were stored in Grove Bags, which naturally maintain humidity between 55–62%, eliminating the need for daily “burping.” These innovative curing bags use a one-way humidity membrane, preserving terpenes and color while preventing mold. Alongside them, we used black UV-resistant glass jars — perfect for long-term storage, protecting cannabinoids from light degradation and keeping aromas fresh. Together, these methods allowed the buds to cure into perfection — firm, aromatic, and bursting with flavor. ⸻ 🔥 Resin, Hash & Full Spectrum Bar All trim from the grow — not just from Lava Cake — was collected to make a full-spectrum bar using simple, natural heat extraction with hot water in a glass bottle. The result was a potent, sticky, terpene-rich concentrate that perfectly captures the soul of the garden. ⸻ ⚖️ Final Yields • Pheno #1: 144g dry • Pheno #2: 99g dry Both phenotypes displayed amazing bud density and structure. In fact, their sheer weight caused a few branches to snap under their own mass — another reason that influenced our harvest timing. These were heavy girls, through and through. 🌿💪 ⸻ 🙏 Gratitude & Reflections To everyone who followed along — thank you. To Zamnesia, for the genetics and inspiration, thank you. To the GrowDiaries community, the supporters, the doubters, and everyone in between — thank you for being part of this experience. And above all, thanks to God, because without Him, none of this beauty — not even the smallest seed — would exist. Growing Lava Cake wasn’t just about cultivation; it was about connection, learning, and the sacred patience of nature. ⸻ 🌀 Closing Thoughts From seed to smoke, these Lava Cakes have been a story of flavor, resilience, and soul. Despite challenges like heat and bud rot, the final result was spectacular: frosty, aromatic, powerful flowers that embody everything beautiful about this craft. As we light the first cured joint, we celebrate not just the harvest, but the journey itself. Until the next grow — stay curious, stay kind, and keep growing. 🌱💚 Thank you to everyone who followed this run — your support, questions, and shared passion have been part of what made this project so rewarding.

Great harvest, hope u like it!

She is in full flower now and she will have some large tops as she is not a bushy plant.it has been a rainy last week here in my province in Canada but it's calling for lots of heat and sun for next week Keeping my finger cross

This is the 1st time doing autos from fastbuds I am really impressed by there strains also the 1st time using the easy boost tablets all in all I am very happy and can’t wait to start my next happy growing all and thanks to every one who tuned in on my diary’s it’s been a pleasure

Boax plants coning along strong. Grew about 2 inches this week. One plant is 19 inches, the other is 17 inches, I averaged the height as 18 inches for this weeks update. I'm going to take cuttings for clones from these girls soon. If you check the pics you should see that the taller of the 2 plants has a "Y" where the main stem split for some reason. I'm thinking cutting at the bottom of the Y would give me a good cutting/clone. But I'm open to any other advice/input on taking cuttings and cloning. I've done it once before successfully, but I'm no expert. Thanks all!

2 plants harvested and the 3rd is still fattening

The plant is still going strong, but I noticed that the colors have faded a bit. Not necessarily a bad thing, though—I realized the temperature difference between day and night was a bit too extreme, which probably caused unnecessary stress. It did look absolutely stunning with those colorful leaves, but stability is more important now.🌱 Other than that, everything is going great! The buds are getting thicker, stinkier, and completely covered in frost.😍 The dominant smell is still pink pepper, which is really interesting. Sometimes I get a hint of something sweet, but I’m not sure yet if it will develop more over time.💚

Week 6 allready! atleast 4 weeks left minimum 🌞✌️

She’s getting closer to chop! I would say about another 1.5weeks max on this girl.. buds are getting fat and frosty and she is full of blueberry terps! I’ve been giving her a diastatic malted barley tea with molasses and bokashi bran to help boost nutrient cycling and she’s been responding very well to that! Was hoping for more anthocyanins but maybe they will appear closer to harvest.

The day 15 i maded a root semi-washing to it to see if it helps to the thinky, I don't know if it helped or not, but my feelings where that the plant didn't go better or worst after that washing, just weird vegetation growing, it's going to became a trully Dwarf plant. The day 13th, the second Think Big shows it's cotyledeos, this plant is going to grow very weird too. ----APROXIMATED WATERING CALENDAR---- 09/06/18: Draught 10/06/18: Draught 11/06/18: Draught 12/06/18: 0.5l solution with all week nutrients @ 0.8 EC PH6 13/06/18: Draught 14/06/18: Draught 15/06/18: Root semi-washing (4l water) *****ESPAÑOL***** -----SUMMARIO SEMANAL----- 12/06/18: Vídeo 0 & Fotos 1 & 2 13/06/18: Fotos 3 a 10 15/06/18: Fotos 11 a 14 Como podéis ver en el vídeo, comparado con las otras 2 genéticas, la única Think Big que ha germinado está creciendo muy muy rara (se verá mejor en las fotos de la semana que viene. El día 15 le realicé una semi limpieza de raíces por si era cosa de nutrientes, no se realmente si ayudó o no, mi impresión es que la planta no fue mejor ni peor después del lavado, simplemente siguió creciendo de manera muy muy rara. Está planta se convertirá en una auténtica planta enana. El día 13, la segunda Think Big ya mostraba sus cotiledones, esta planta va a crecer muy muy rara también. ----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO APROXIMADO---- 09/06/18: Sequía 10/06/18: Sequía 11/06/18: Sequía 12/06/18: 0,5l de agua con todos los nutrientes semanales @ 0.8 EC PH6 13/06/18: Sequía 14/06/18: Sequía 15/06/18: Semi lavado de raíces (4l de agua)

Probably another 2-4 weeks on this solo auto. Has been given a total of 7 dynomyco feedings total. Seems to have a positive effect on the quality. Solos are hard to do, and compared to another side/by/side solo, this one is doing better… ✌️💚🌿💨

They are responding amazing to everything, they dont even look the same is just crazy retarded how well they are doing now , ate least to my eyes they do lol love the green, love how full is getting , love it all, if she keeps like this next week mb less i will put them in flower mode other way i wont have space for them after lol For now i have my PPFD around 560 but i will bring this up wen in flower, i did IPM on them just in case with nematodes and a bunch of beneficial bugs and mites lol As always thank you guys for your love , your time, your support and it all, i fell blessed and i am truly thankful <3 <3 <3

 Growers love to you all

Welcome to week 3 📅 Day 15 6/21/2021 She is now feeding from the reservoir and things are going great. The micro top has almost fully recovered and the undergrowth is growing nicely. I would like to say a few words about Mars Hydro. the TS 1000 is a great light and I love the fact that the power supply is capable of being separated from the light and located outside of the tent to keep the heat down. I also like the fact that you can control the light intensity and daisy chain with another light witch is what I plan on doing. Update Day 18 6/24/2021 she is growing fast and drinking lots as I have had to top up the res. I have also put the TS 1000 at 100% and the plants love it

5-3 Bud growth continues and buds are starting to form together to make bigger colas. Also starting to see more trichs and the smell is getting stronger and sticky.

Tag 26: getoppt bei 5 Nodien. Tag 29: Beginn LST.

Well here it is harvest day 😁 some nice purple on the top buds , smell is very fragrant! Buds are a nice size for such low wattage leds. Quite frosty nothing spectacular but frosty all the same, I will update once all dry with weight and smoke report. 🙏 blessing you all good days.
