This week the buds have fatten up some more and the production of thc was clearly visible in the trichomes. On the last day of this week I did a check and I saw a lot of them where turning cloudy, half cloudy with a few amber ones. I guess another 2 weeks at max and I'll be harvesting. The fungus gnats where a real pest during this run. So I've placed a drosera capensis(carnivorious plant) in the growroom and she hasn't eaten this much since I got here a year ago. Should have done this weeks ago... This weeks menu for the Pineapples: Day 1 → Each 1250 ml (0.33 gallon) tapwater with Plagron nutrients (see above for which and how much) Day 2 → Dry Day 3 → Each 1250 ml (0.33 gallon) ph adjusted tapwater (ec 0.48– ph 6.6) Day 4 → Dry Day 5 → Each 1250 ml (0.33 gallon) tapwater with Plagron nutrients. 16 ml Terra Bloom, 4 ml Sugar Royal, 4ml Power Buds and 4 ml Green Sensation was added to 5 liter (1.32 gallon) of tapwater (ec 1.77 – ph 6.6) Day 6 → Dry Day 7 → Each 1250 ml (0.33 gallon) ph adjusted tapwater (ec 0.46– ph 6.5) The cobs are now at 45 cm (17.7 inch) with 320 watt → DLI 43/PPFD 995 This will be the maximum power for this run. Temperatures fluctuated between 20.3 – 29.8 °C (68.5 – 85.6 °F) and humidity levels between 43 – 69% Till next week!

🌿 Lava Cake – Week 4 VEG | Queen Energy & Full Ecosystem Build 🌿 Both Lava Cake phenos are thriving post-transplant—zero signs of stress, branching vigorously, and growing like there’s no tomorrow, they’re glowing like true queens under the summer sun. 👑 ⸻ 🌱 Growth Highlights • Structure: Lateral branches coming in fast and healthy • Leaves: Deep green, thick, full of life—new sets coming in strong • Resilience: No transplant shock observed; they’re in full takeoff mode • Training: Not started yet, but their shape is ideal for light training soon ⸻ 💧 Nutrient Profile Current feeding recipe (per liter of water): • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml Supports nutrient flow, strengthens cell walls, anti-stress defense. • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml Helping frame formation and boosting photosynthetic power. • Aptus All-in-One Liquid – 1 ml Serving as the balanced nutrient base. • Aptus Start Booster – 0.2 ml Still enhancing root expansion and early leaf vigor. We’re still watering from below, by filling the tray and letting the substrate absorb from the bottom up, encouraging strong root systems and oxygen-rich zones in the upper soil. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment Overview • Room Temp: 27°C • Humidity: 57.4% • CO₂: 632 ppm • Water Temp: 18.5°C • pH: 5.83 • EC: 1.01 Everything monitored in real time via the TrolMaster Ecosystem, providing precision control and remote access, yes, even while we’re in the bathroom. 😉 ⸻ 💡 Lights & Zones We’ve now expanded our setup into the 8x8 tent, and the Lava Cakes are sharing space with their sisters across two dedicated zones: • Future of Grow – Black Series 600: Full-spectrum power delivering compact, colorful growth. • ThinkGrow Model Ones: Smart spectrum and PPFD control, perfectly synced with the TrolMaster system. Both lighting zones are tuned for veg—intensity dialed in, and spectrum tuned for lush photosynthesis. ⸻ 🌬️ Airflow & Filtration • Exhaust: Two 6” inline fans with carbon filters for odor and purity • TrolMaster Aerofan 6” (controlled by Tent-X controller) • Spider Farmer 6” Inline (controlled by GGS Controller) • Intake: One 6” active intake with filter This full cycle keeps airflow fresh, clean, and optimized, essential for plant metabolism and VPD balance. 💡 Why carbon filters even now? Because purity matters. Even in early veg, it keeps the air crisp and microbial risks low. Plus, stealth mode always on. 🔇 ⸻ 📈 Sensors in Action We’re dialing in with: • CO₂ sensor (live ppm tracking) • Humidity/Temp sensor • PPFD sensor for light mapping and consistency These tools allow us to optimize every square meter of canopy, ensuring no girl is left behind. ⸻ 🌿 Looking Ahead • Light training coming soon • Roots will now fully colonize the 11L Amnesia fabric pots • Expect explosive top and side growth • Canopy management will begin as needed • More studio photo sessions—before the girls outgrow the door! 📸 ⸻ 🧠 Final Notes This is a very special run. The Lava Cakes are being treated like royalty—from tailored nutrients to cutting-edge control systems. The goal: maximum quality, transparency, and education every step of the way. We’re not just growing plants, we’re growing understanding, one leaf at a time. Thank you so much for following our journey.

No complaints this week..humidity levels are optimal, runoff ppms are at ideal levels , white pistils are showing throughout the plants, the ladies have stretched a few more inches from last week, they seem to like to bloom ratio of the 3 part general hydroponics nutrient solution, small clusters are forming on top of plants. They seem to be drinking much more judging by how fast the medium has been drying out.So far everything is going well. Im definitely looking forward to see how well they produce buds. Will keep yall updated in my next upload.

Starting week 1 of flower on this Bruce Banner Auto from FastBuds! She has been a pleasure to grow so far! Had some minor issues dialing in her water amounts last week but she is starting to look better. Im sure last week put a hurting on growth rate but she will still produce nicely. More updates soon! Day 45 she is starting to perk up more and finally stretching out some! Still monitoring her situation closely though as she does have some slight yellowing around the edges but it may of just been watering issues. She is also incredibly compact and bushy right now. In about a week or so after stretching I'm gonna have to defoliate and open her up some most likely. Day 47 she is looking better yet! She is really showing signs of perking up fully and bouncing back! She definitely took a beating with these water issues but I think I got her figured out now. We increased airflow around her pot even more so she can dry out better. I suspect the bottom of her pot was staying too wet for daily watering causing issues. Now she seems to be drying out quicker and looking much happier. Day 48 we removed some dead and dying leaves that she had on her lowers. Looking nice and perky today and starting to stretch out a lot more.

Hi people! who was surprised that I had to tie it?)) the buds are just huge! and already at this stage they are strong as stone! and they still keep growing! and yes! I also gave her overdrive !!!))) probably my favorite fertilizer! I love her effect! how it affects the buds! and how quickly you can see its effect. I'll show you Overdrive's work next week! if you haven’t dealt with this booster yet, you will be pleasantly surprised!

I uploaded macro shots just for you fellow growers it was a small harvest but it was a small plant so I'm happy I got that much 😀🙏

She has left the Sunset Sherberts behind, and deciced to take advantage of the nice and toasty environment. Jedi (her name) has finally broken through. Steady at 21.5-24 C. RH at 65-75% with Spider Farmer Huimidifier and Dehumidifier, shooting for VPD. (day 1) Let's quickly review the key new components I've planned to integrate or have already: Circulation Pump - Adding this to the 14L Mars Hydro reservoir will ensure even fresh, circulated-for-a-miniute-every-hour, batch of water (and later nutes) to the auto-drip system, maintaining optimal feeding for my plants when I am away, next week. Biobizz & BioTabs Supplements - These organic nutrient and microbial products will provide a comprehensive and balanced feeding regimen for my plants. Auto-Drain Potted Plant Stands - The wheeled, auto-draining stands will simplify watering and prevent any spills or overflows. Inkbird Humidity Controller - Pairing this with the Spider Farmer humidifier and dehumidifier will allow me to precisely maintain the ideal VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit) levels. LST Clips, Trellis Net & Shelves - These will help me maximize my grow space and optimize the plant canopy for optimal light exposure. Pest Control Strips - An important preventative measure to stay ahead of any potential pest issues. Smart Soil Sensors - The Zigbee-enabled sensors will provide vital data on soil moisture, temperature, and more, which I can monitor remotely. Air Purifier/Ion Generator - Ensuring my grow environment has clean, high-quality air circulation. With all of these elements in place, combined with my existing setup and the automated control via the iGrow app, I'm truly creating a "hands-off" grow operation. (theoretically, with a bro, coming to phiscally check too)....The ability to monitor and adjust key parameters remotely while I'm away in Italy. Running on Sunrise/set mode(18/6) over the "seedling" scene, in iGrow app, keeping track of DLI and later on, the Adlites will come into play. Temp at 23.5 and RH is at 60%.

We are at week 3 now. A lot of development, i have not used liquid nutes this week, it is raining a lot so no water needed, thus no liquid nutrients. I have top feed of dry nutrients mix, basically a mixture of a super soil recipe that usually is used within to make a hot soil: I mix all tue ingredients together and use it gradually about 40g as a powder, in the top of the soil. - Azomite 500g - Natural fosfate 500g - Biochar 1kg - Bokashi 1kg -Kelp meal 500g -Mamona meal 1kg -chicken meal 1kg -Potassium silicate 500g -Gypsum farm 500g -Diatomaceous earth 500g Mix all keep it in a soil bag, this pure mix and use it once every month. The companion plants have emerged and will protect the soil humidity mainly.

Day 3 so after mites and a mishap with the wrong detergent. We are back with my next try at growing Sugar Breath, which has to smell better then new puppy breath. As of Saturday Fozzy Bear (we wanted it Fozzie but official paper work says otherwise) joined the family and his new big brother Buddy. He has already grown a few inches since we got him but god is he ever cute, and god bless Buddy for taking his playful shit since

Day 37 We started with nutes today Then all day long outdoors From 6AM to 6PM Plus CFL afterwards They rest for 3 hours and then CFL again Btw accidentally snapped one part of one big leave but that okay Since we don't do defoliation on her We guessing it's okay she will recover soon Day 38 Since she's such a queen we wanted to upload a video showing how she starts flowering for the record, thanks a lot You can Always follow me at Instagram @cannagrowersiriuz Also don't forget to add your comment below, it is important to us! We want to learn, any tips, suggestion, more than welcome my friends Happy Growing Day 39 Some mins before installing ScroG Day 40 Wonderful, she's out of there already so huge, full of buds Day 41 she's actually doing great full of buds but those 2 first leaves are a little bit sad looking weird plus those black dots idk and it's turning yellow in between I decided to remove it and well, I'm hoping she's doing well what else I could think of guys any help or concerns? At the end of the day, she's overall healthy and strong Day 42 Time to feed the babies, so we added 900PPM (300ml) floranova grow Followed by 1590ppm (300ml) flora nova bloom to make sure she's got all nutrients balanced well, also added 400ml of plain water after that so they could get a nice run off. I think they're happy and we gonna check on them in a couple days to see how they go, Ph is around 6.2 which is great Temp outdoors from 7-@ 1pm around 25C to 36C Then back indoors Temp is 28C and drop to 22 at night and dawn so they're good and comfortable Keeping humidity lvls around 40/65% top Nice AC and Fan for air circulation Thank you all for your support

24/02: Colas again have become real heavy in places and have had to strap them together to prevent the stalks from falling and snapping. Over all blooming well have been on maximum dose of nutrients now for a few weeks. lots of orange hairs. water now for a week and then to harvest. the topping in this grow really paid off.
