Very happy with the grow, big dense nugs with pleasant citrus aroma. Next grow i'll use 3 gal pots instead of 5 with FloraFlex matrix watering system. i'll separate the distance between the scrog nets further apart, so the buds won't lean on each other. Need to dial the light better next time to prevent foxtailing,

Well I was 2 behind! Things have been super busy here at the place! I’ve been waiting on some nutrients but there has been some delays but have been doing what I can! The reason I got a few deficiencies! But it’s all good we got the feed going now but lost some leaf color! 🤷‍♂️🏽 My buddy grew some good B+ and all this talk about Burning Man, we got out there while watering!🤪 Some might say it was excessive!

We are at the beginning of the 9th week of flowering. The trichomes are slowly beginning to change color. I'm now going on vacation for 9 days, I couldn't have planned it any shittier. But anyway, I've decided to keep them growing and then probably harvest them straight after my vacation.

🍰 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. The full smoke review will follow this harvest report and will be presented in 4K on YouTube, where we’ll document the aroma, flavor, burn, and overall experience with both phenotypes and the pressed hash. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Its finally done! So on the next days buds will continue to dry regularly in their jars. The total weight of the two wedding cake was (82g)..on the next few weeks I will continue to check their weight, while the total weight of their trim was 34.1g which i will use them asap in order to wash some hash. I did some tests with some small buds to feel the flavors and get an idea of what I would expect.. I was struck by how different the two wedding cakes are. with both the smell and the look of the buds. I will post other updates with photos in the coming days! Thanks fam for the support! 💚

🌱 Week 6 Veg Report: Terpyz Mutant Croco Adventure 🌱 Hey, Grow Fam! It’s week 6 in our Terpyz Mutant Mentha de Croco veg journey, and what a ride it’s been! These mutants are taking their sweet time growing, but with each passing day, I’m falling more in love with their quirky, unique beauty. Every plant is a masterpiece of nature—peculiar and stunning in its own way. 💚 Growth Highlights: The slow and steady growth continues to reflect their resilience. These Croco beauties are thriving despite cooler temperatures this week—daytime temps sitting around 18°C and dropping to 14°C at night, paired with 65% RH. They’re proving to be tough little warriors, adapting to the environment like champs! Even though their growth is slower than usual, the details in their leaves are breathtaking. Each plant has its own story to tell, and I’m loving the diversity in structure, color, and patterns. It’s like watching art unfold in slow motion. 🎨 Nutrition Update: This week, I’ve kept feeding consistent with Aptus Holland nutrients—but remember, we phased out the liquid All-in-One formula since the All-in-One Pellets provide everything they need for now. Here’s the mix for this week: • Regulator: 0.15 ml/L – Building resilience and helping them adapt to the colder temps. • Start Booster: 0.25 ml/L – Encouraging root health and giving them a gentle push forward. • CalMag Boost: 0.25 ml/L – Supporting robust leaf growth and preventing deficiencies in these chilly conditions. The pellets are doing a fantastic job of slowly releasing nutrients, ensuring that the plants get a steady supply without any risk of overfeeding. Aptus Holland’s organic-mineral blend continues to impress me with its balance and efficiency. Truly a grower’s best friend! Decisions Pending: Flip or Clone? I’m still holding off on flipping to flower or taking clones. With their slow growth, I want to give them all the time they need to reach a size where I can confidently determine sex. Whether I decide to flip for a week and revert, or take clones for sexing, will depend on how they progress in the next couple of weeks. It’s a reminder to embrace patience in growing. Every strain, every phenotype, every plant teaches us something unique about nurturing life. 🌿 The Beauty of Photography: This week, I brought out my trusty Sony A6000 and Nikon DSLR to capture the intricate details of these plants. From the mesmerizing leaf patterns to water droplets reflecting their surroundings, these frames truly showcase their unique personalities. Why Cameras Over Phones? • Lens Power: Swapping out lenses allows me to get super close for those macro shots, capturing details that even the best phones can’t touch. • Dynamic Range: Cameras handle light and shadow better, making every photo a true work of art. • Depth of Field: Blurring the background helps highlight each plant’s unique features. Sure, phone cameras are convenient, but nothing beats the joy of immortalizing these beauties with the precision and creativity of a good DSLR or mirrorless camera. 📸 Shoutouts & Love: Massive thanks to Terpyz Mutant Genetics for these fascinating seeds, Aptus Holland for keeping the nutrition game strong, Pro-Mix Soil for the rich growing medium, and Future of Grow for providing stellar lighting! A big shoutout to TrolMaster for making environmental control a breeze, and to Grow Diaries for being such an incredible platform to share this journey. Last but not least, a heartfelt thank you to the entire community—followers, supporters, and even the curious passersby. Your love, questions, and feedback fuel this adventure! Final Thoughts: This week has been all about patience, adaptation, and marveling at the uniqueness of nature. Each plant is a little piece of art, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to nurture and share their journey. Keep following along here on GD, and don’t forget to check out my Instagram and YouTube for more behind-the-scenes content and stunning photos.

Been wanting to try out this auto ghost og from original sensible seeds for a while and finally got the opportunity to get one wet. I originally started this setup to compete in the solo cup challenge, but I needed something that will be minimal maintainence and doesn't require hand watering. So this is what I ended up with. I will not be entering since I know it will bring controversy, but I am going to follow the rules and treat this grow as if I am competing. I didn't want to use regular solo cups because last time I had a lot of algae growing in the root zone when I harvested. I opted to use a black light proof cup. These cups were 27 oz originally so I filled them with 16 oz of water, marked the level, then cut them down to 16 oz. I set the drain pipes about an inch from the bottom so they have a little reserve if I have pump or power issues. I know people will see the drains as a way for roots to grow out of the cup but in reality I have to keep the entire pipe free of roots or it will clog and overflow. So I am actually losing a little volume due to this. I filled the bottom inch or so of the cups with river gravel to stop the perlite from washing into the reservoir. I am running a 5 gallon reservoir with a small air pump and the plants will be getting irritated 24 hours a day from an aquarium power head pump. I set the system up to be totally self contained and easily portable. It was all built from things I had laying around other than 97¢ for the cups. I will be keeping the feed simple as always feeding maxigro and maxibloom with a couple flower boosters.

4/26: I top-dressed her pot with about a tablespoon of Happy Frog Cavern Culture and watered it in really slowly with about 1/4 gallon of water and added cal-mag, humic acid, liquid molasses, silica, and I started her on open sesame. Increased Ph to 6.4 to ensure that she can utilize the increased calcium and the P and K I'm giving her. 4/27: I did a little bondage on her today...she was totally compliant!😉 4/29: She is budding up alright, but not stretching...the tangies i've grown in the past were all pretty tall, so I'm a little worried that I stunted her somehow... 5/1: I gave her a little water with cal-mag, boomerang, humic acid, and silica. 5/2: I sprayed her with boomboom spray this morning...grow bitch, grow!

#seedsman420growoff and #SeedsmanSeeds 📆 Harvest Week, 10-16 August 2024 10-12 August - Observed and let the plant grow. 13 Aug - Started 3 day RO water flush. Turned light power to 50%. 15 Aug - Harvested the plant (see pictures). 16 Aug - Began curing process. 💚 Thank you Seedsman Seeds for this opportunity to grow some new genetics from your line up. 📑 Pineapple OG performed well! Her total flowering time was 61 days, and veg time 49 days, for a total of 110 days seed to harvest! With an impressive yield to go with it. From the beginning this plant was a real pleasure to grow. Fast and even spacing between leaf set the stage for strong level branching in height. Not much training was needed during the vegetative stage other than some minor defoliation. One would think this was an F1 or Auto strain with the speed of growth, but it is not. The cross breeding in terpenes has proven to be winner as the smell is very intense with pineapple and sweet tropical scents. The buds swell solid with resins especially in the last weeks of ripening, and are snow covered with trichomes at maturity. I’m sure she would have gotten much bigger had I been set up for a larger plant. I am extremely satisfied with the results produced from these genetics. and would recommend them to anyone wanting to grow a high quality product. 🔥 Smoke Report: 25 Aug - After hanging in a closet for 8 days with RH of 50% and temperature of 70 degrees F, the product was ready for trimming. I decided to try out a large tumbler that was given to me by a good friend. Glad I did! It worked out great! Cutting my trim time down to practically nothing, and making the buds look exceptionally manicured without excessive waste, I’ll continue with this method of trimming in the future. I am pleasantly pleased with the outcome of this grow. Almost 1/2 pound of quality smoke. The buds are solid, resin filled, sticky and smell like a fruity pineapple. The high comes on kind of slow, then settles in for a smooth calming feeling, like the world just slows down a little bit. Leaving you feeling excited and relaxed, lasting for hours. Great for recreational or medicinal use. 🍶 10 Aug nutrient solution changed 🍽️ 10 Aug feeding schedule updated 💧 Using reverse osmosis water with EC/TDS at 0 🐉 Nutrient Solution EC 1.0 at 74 degree F 🔆 Light power at 65%, DLI 40 canopy coverage at 12hrs 😤 Using General Hydroponics, HGC728040, Dual Diaphragm Air Pump, 320 GPH That is it for this grow. Thanks for all the looks, reads and stopping by. They have been much appreciated.
