🌿 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.

Msg me for fem seeds

August 23rd. 70 days post flip. Clones: All 3 clones are growing very well. No crazy developments this week. Buds continue to fatten. Smells are finally starting to form and starting to notice different smells from the 3 phenos. Starting next week I will begin giving more detailed descriptions of the 3 different phenos too help me decide which one to pick when this is all said and done. I did this when they were in veg and have stopped until flower development finally begun. We are finally at this phase of actual development and want to document these next two months. I was also really lucky this week and picked up a ton of back to roots organic nutrients at Walmart. Got them on clearance for 5$ a bag, 50% off. I really cleaned up and helped out the earth boxes this week as well. I removed the plastic covers, added in new Elite Living soil to finally cover the rockwool cubes. Topped it off with some Azomite, craft blend, worm castings, bone meal, and kelp meal with potash. And than covered with a little more elite living soil. I think this will really help these guys especially now that flowers are starting to fatten. I also went from 11.5 on and 12.5 off too 11.25 on and 12.75 off. This will further motivate the buds to start to fatten. In another two weeks I will go another 15 minutes. Added in a larger fan too ensure we keep good airflow. Considering adding in another one to help cool the top canopy Parent: Finally decided to enhance these guys a little bit for the first time in 25 weeks. Topped them with some craft blend and some fresh Elite living soil I got for my other tent. Also topped them heavily and cleaned up their foliage significantly. I’m expecting them to recover in a week or two and for the new soil volume to make them happy. As always, thank you guys for following along and God Bless!

Things have been coming together very nicely, packing on very nice frost, buds have been foxtailing not too much but just enough, in result I lost some density to the buds which I don't particularly mind (my preference). The Terps are really nice and has simplified compared to last week when they were ever-changing. They know boast a black Cherry Punch forward Superboof flavor. Notes of ripe/rotten dank black cherries with that classic Superboof Orange rind/dankiness. The leaf rub gives a more sweeter black cherry wine almost smell with hints of bubblegum. Very nice change from the usual candies you see constantly nowadays. This is a dank one, every morning I wake up to the dank dank aromas of this plant filling the house. Quite a beautiful thing if I may say. All in all, one of my most favorite grows I've done too date! She's getting close to harvest if day another 2-3 weeks at most! Gonna check on trichomes soon but she's absolutely covered in trichs! I'll try and get better pictures!

¡Ah, bueno! ¡Una nueva semanita! Empecé a agregar CalMag porque ya se notaba una pequeña carencia: las puntitas de las primeras hojas estaban secas y las nuevas empezaban a ponerse un poco amarillas en los bordes. También, en estos riegos, bajé un poco el pH agregando la solución con agua más ácida para regularlo. Así que calculo que ahora debe estar en un 6.4, que sigue siendo un buen rango.

Very optimal setup for everything so far. you can really tell the first sprout apart right now because of the second set coming in. Can’t wait to start using nutrients soon!

Thinking maybe another week with these girls some leaves turning yellow and dying ag the bottom the buds are really getting fat i will start flushing them.from now

I'm satisfided of Royal Queen Seeds. All of 3 seeds germinate,growing fast and looking nice ❤️

Todo parece ir bien por estos lados, Lo importante es que las raices estan haciendo una fiesta en el sustrato!!! 😎 Hoy comienza la 4ta SEMANA!

Moved to 5 gallon bucket for a bigger root ball. Buds are starting to swell and doing fine. Pictures are from Feb 20th day 29 of flower. Moved the White Widow and Royal Gorilla out of the 4x4 tent so the Critical has more room to move around.

Hey, All photos from Flower Day 35. The Tangie seems to produce a huge mainbud. The Biscotti Phenos are very similar. Everything according to plan so far. Stay green.

This is by far the largest indoor plant I have ever had!! I'm super excited. And because I am so convinced of Hydro, I bought an RDWC system. This will be used in the next grow The PH always rises to 6.2, I bring it down to 5.8 every 48 hours Otherwise it really just keeps growing. It takes significantly longer than Dutch Passion stated. It also doesn't get 20H light but "only" 12H. I think these are the last days of the flowering phase. I slowly shut down the EC. It will also sometimes be below 16 degrees. I am very excited to harvest this plant!

Plantitas sanitas....

Esta enorme, nada mas que agregar. Me olvide de scarle fotos para el diario, pero le saque eso, ya que yo no estoy todos los dias. Se va para arriba ella, esta hermosa

The Sour Diesel uses a lot of nutrients, grows fast and responses well to LST and Topping. I have 3 Jelly Donutz from Humboldt Seed company in the back that i just planted 2 days ago. Hopefully , all 3 sprout. I have promised my friends SD1 and Gelato. So, their weekly progress will not be included in the next posts

Finally decided to sow these seeds from the diary "Sensi Seeds Durban V1" crossed with Sensi Skunk Regular Male. I will be vegging these girls hopefully until the dry seasons starts here late January 2025 Jah will.

I started the trim after 8-9 days. Aggressive drying for two days on 45%RH and 20°C and then 50 to 55%RH for 5 days. Its already a really good smoke within 2 weeks and i'm excited for more nuances while it cures. Overall its was a good experience for mainlining.
