Some huge colas on two of them. I need to run them again. This strain is a true champion. Yield, looks, resin, terps everything on point. I don’t really mind that she needs some extra time. 9 weeks minimum. 29.09 Cleared runoff. Full tanks ec 1.6 ph 6.2 Removed one top bud of vf2 and g3 due to botrytis. But addition of particulate filters and uvc lamp seems to have helped a lot. It’s been very humid this time around. Even now in the late stage of flower it’s high 60%

Grow Report Woche 4: Technik, Topping & Tapferkeit Hallo zusammen 🌱👷‍♂️ Diese Woche hatte es in sich: technische Erweiterungen, kleine Rückschläge – und trotzdem geht’s weiter voran. Die Black Cherries vom Super Sativa Seed Club zeigen sich robust und widerstandsfähig, genau wie mein Optimismus! Blumat-Erweiterung 💧 Ich habe mein Bewässerungssystem aufgestockt und sechs zusätzliche kleine Blumat-Tropfer installiert, um auch die Oberfläche im Beet gleichmäßig feucht zu halten. - Vier Tropfer wurden direkt in die bestehenden Tropfringe integriert – so erhalten die Pflanzen Wasser von beiden Seiten. - Die restlichen Tropfer ergänzen das Setup rund um die Hauptwurzelbereiche. Ich bin gespannt, wie sich dieses doppelte Tropfsystem auswirkt – bislang sieht alles stabil aus. Astbruch – schnell reagiert Beim Verlegen der Tropfer ist leider ein getoppter Hauptast abgebrochen. - Innerhalb einer Minute habe ich ihn mit einem 3mm Blumat-Schlauch fixiert. - Nach zwei Tagen zeigt er wieder normales Wachstum – das nenne ich Notfallpflege mit Erfolg! - Der Größenunterschied wird durch gezieltes LST ausgeglichen – so bleibt alles in Balance. LST gestartet 🌿 Diese Woche habe ich auch mit dem Low Stress Training begonnen: - Jede Pflanze bekam ihre Triebe positioniert, um das Wachstum gleichmäßig und lichtoptimiert zu lenken. - Nur bei der Pflanze mit Astbruch habe ich vorsichtig agiert – dort wurden vorerst nur die unteren Triebe bearbeitet, damit sich die verletzte Stelle vollständig regenerieren kann. Kleines Chaos, große Zufriedenheit Es war eine anstrengende Woche, aber die Ergebnisse stimmen mich positiv: - Pflanzen sind vital, wachsen gut, und der Schaden wurde schnell behoben. - Der Übergang zur nächsten Wachstumsphase ist in vollem Gange – trotz kleiner Stolperer. 🎥 Zum Abschluss: Zeitraffer bis Woche 4 Die Pflanzen sind jetzt so groß, dass die Kamera eine neue Position bekommen hat – höherer Blickwinkel, mehr Übersicht. 👉 Der neue Zeitraffer zeigt die Entwicklung bis heute – von zarten Sämlingen zu kraftvollen Pflanzen. Ich hoffe, dass die nächsten Wochen etwas ruhiger verlaufen, damit ich mich voll auf die Pflege und Beobachtung konzentrieren kann – aber ich bleibe optimistisch und freue mich auf alles, was kommt! 🍒

Het is mijn eerste kweek, voor mijn eerste keer vind ik dat alles vrij goed is verlopen. De white widow van dp heeft zeer goed gepresteerd en heeft mij een mooie oogst bezorgd. Na het drogen geef ik een recensie over de smaak en geur.

🍰 Lava Cake – 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. ⸻ 🔬 What’s Happening in Week 4 Flower By now, stretch is nearly finished. The plants are redirecting their energy: • From vertical growth ➝ into flower bulk. • From nitrogen demand ➝ into phosphorus & potassium demand. • From building structure ➝ 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: • Thick, healthy pistils at every site. • Calyx swelling beginning, the first signs of true bud stacking. • Leaves still dark and strong — proof of balanced nutrition. • No stress, no burn, no deficiencies. ⸻ 🥤 Feeding Strategy – Why Boosters Matter Now This week, we removed the Aptus All-in-One Liquid, despite it being in the photo. The reason: the soil’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 — and we want the roots to stay clean and active. Instead, the focus is on precision boosters: Recipe (per L water): • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml → strengthens cell walls, stress protection, and nutrient uptake efficiency. • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml → keeps calcium steady (critical for bud structure) and magnesium strong (photosynthesis & chlorophyll). • Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml → directs plant energy into flower production. • Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml → provides organic nitrogen + enzymes to stimulate terpene development. • Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml → PK booster + biostimulant, promoting dense, resin-rich flowers. Why this mix? • Because the NPK in soil is still sufficient → boosters fill in the extra needs of flowering without overwhelming the root zone. • Because boosters provide specialized roles → each product targets a specific physiological process. • Because balance prevents problems → overdoing NPK at week 4 could backfire, while focused boosters guide the plants safely into mid-bloom. ⸻ 🌡️ Environmental Notes • Temps: Still ~31–34°C until AC arrives. High, but plants are adapting. • Humidity: 55–60%, VPD ~1.8–2.0 kPa — slightly high, but still manageable. • Watering Rhythm: Once substrate moisture falls near 19–20%, measured by TrolMaster WCS substrate sensor. This ensures roots get oxygen before each feed. Even under warm conditions, the plants are drinking heavily — proving they are metabolically active and thriving. ⸻ 🌸 What to Expect Next Week (Week 5 Flower) ✅ Expect: • Noticeable bulking → flowers will become rounder, denser, and begin to “stack.” • More pistils → a full carpet of white hairs covering colas. • Aroma development → the first hints of Lava Cake’s dessert-like terpene profile may start releasing. ❌ Not to Expect (yet): • Full frost coverage → heavy trichome production usually comes weeks 5–7. • Final density → buds will continue swelling for several weeks, so patience is key. ⸻ ✨ Closing Thoughts Week 4 flower is the foundation of yield. It’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: • Strong genetics, showing symmetrical growth. • Balanced feeding, keeping roots clean and buds fueled. • 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 — this is the beginning of the true show. 🔬 Science Spotlight – The Unsung Heroes: Calcium & Magnesium Many growers focus on NPK during flower, but two “quiet players” — calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) — are just as vital to ensure flowers bulk properly. 🌿 Calcium (Ca): • Strengthens cell walls, making flowers denser and less prone to collapse. • Improves nutrient transport, ensuring phosphorus and potassium (the bloom drivers) actually reach the buds. • Helps roots resist stress in warm environments (like our 31–34°C room). 🌿 Magnesium (Mg): • The central atom in chlorophyll → without magnesium, photosynthesis collapses. • Supports enzyme activity, converting sugars into energy for bud building. • Directly influences terpene production, giving flowers their aroma and flavor. Why CalMag Boost now? • In soil mixes, calcium can sometimes get “locked up” as the pH fluctuates. • With daily watering at slightly acidic pH (5.8–6.0), we guarantee Ca and Mg are immediately available. • This ensures strong, vibrant leaves → 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. ✨ Grower’s Analogy: Think of your plant like a construction site: • NPK are the bricks and beams (the main structure). • Calcium is the cement holding every wall together. Without it, the structure would crumble. • Magnesium is the spark plug in the engine — it makes photosynthesis “run” and fuels the work crews building the flowers. No cement, no structure. No spark plug, no engine. That’s why CalMag support is never optional — especially in flower when the demand skyrockets. 🌸 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Well had to harvest early. bud rot was making its way through the plant had already pulled 2 heads off covered didn't want any more being affected. So it's now chopped and drying will give more of an update after she's dryed n cured... Its been a good grow right up untill the end ventilation was lacking and temps hot. I've enjoyed it tho this plants tested some of my skills on diffieciencys and training really like the strain just abit more attention to environment nearing the buds getting very dense.

Now all plants are fully blooming and producing buds. The two plants on the back are really difficult for me to reach, so they'll have more leaves as I can't trim em. Especially the rigt back corner one, it's way bushier.

📅 D36 - 19/09 📜 I start a Flowering week, even if Lucy is actually in pre flowering stage. Adjusted SCroG and added 1,5 L of water. She drinks a lot, more than 2,5 L per day. Tomorrow I will receive an affordable EC meter and I will change the res. ✍️ 1,3 EC ♒ 5,8 pH 🌊 9,5 L 📏 20 cm 📅 D37 - 20/09 📜 Today I made a big defolation and adjusted LST and SCroG. A new res with higher EC (1,8) and pH 5,7. I put 12 L. to satisfy Lucy's thirst. ✍️ 1,8 EC ♒ 5,6 pH 🌊 12 L 📏 25 cm 📅 D38 - 21/09 📜 Nothing to report today. Lucy seems ok and she's growing fast. No signal of any problem on the leaves, even if the EC is almost 2. Tomorrow I will give her some more water. ✍️ 1,9 EC ♒ 6 pH 🌊 11 L 📏 31 cm 📅 D39 - 22/09 📜 pH and EC both falling down, so I decide to add 2 L. of pure water. I also put under the SCroG net some buds. ✍️ 1,9 EC ♒ 6 pH 🌊 11 L 📏 36 cm 📅 D40 - 23/09 📜 Lucy grown over the SCroG net and she started the flowering stage. According to the data sheet, from now to the harvest it should take about 7-8 weeks. Today I added 2 L. of pure water in order to lower the EC and raise the pH. I will keep this res until the new week and then I will change it, increasing Flora Bloom and lowering Flora Grow. ✍️ 1,8 EC ♒ 6 pH 🌊 10 L 📏 40 cm 📅 D41 - 24/09 📜 Nothing to report today ✍️ 1,8 EC ♒ 6 pH 🌊 10 L 📏 44 cm 📅 D42 - 25/09 📜 Lucy is flowering, so I will change tomorrow the res. I'm not sure about the EC level, I will see browsing around my favorites diaries. ✍️ 1,8 EC ♒ 5,8 pH 🌊 10 L 📏 48 cm

Started a little training this week. This plant is pretty bushy with tight nodes. Will be doing some more training and a little defoliation over the next week to get her ready for flower. Other than that, just watching and waiting

Took off excess lower bud sites and removed fan leaves. The plant is looking fantastic and plumping up nicely. Tops are already looking chunky and the light penetration is much better now after defoliating some more. I have turned the light up to 50% and have raised it to its final height. Luckily the stretching wasn’t too bad and didn’t push the light up too much.
