Good week of growth. Fed twice throughout the week. Couple signs of insects but hoping it's just the few fruit flies I have in the vicinity. Also continued with LST, both plants seem to like it. Growth on Alaskan purple is slow due to the shitty Amazon light overjead I believe. Seemango has a mars hydro ts1000 overtop.

Day 43 (Second Grow, Flowering Phase): Hey everyone! Weโ€™re well into day 43 of our second grow and deep into the flowering phase. ๐ŸŒธ The transition has been amazing to witness, with our plants showing significant bud development. The plants are producing beautiful, dense buds, and itโ€™s incredible to see the daily changes and the rapid development. Weโ€™ve been maintaining the humidity between 50-60%, but weโ€™re keeping a close eye on it to prevent any issues. Weโ€™re considering whether to get a dehumidifier to bring it down to the ideal 40-50%. The SCROG net continues to work wonders, ensuring even light distribution and supporting the heavy buds. Our Timor shield mantis is still patrolling the garden, keeping pests at bay naturally. Sheโ€™s become quite the guardian! The plants are looking healthy and vibrant. We're excited to see how they continue to develop over the coming weeks. Any tips or advice for optimizing this stage? Let us know in the comments!

everything in the second week of flower went well. she really stretched and the buds quickly started getting fat. also every watering i would notice a very strong odor of weed. december 22nd 2021: gaver her last half of gallon used in last feeding. also nothing was tested. ph tested at 6.6 last feeding and it usually comes out a little higher after a few days. january 1st 2022 i noticed the first trichomes.

I have noticed great results from my training methods so far. I clipped all the lowest bud sites and leaves, this has resulted in the plant showing brand new bud sites. I also have been keeping the canopy evenly distributed using the scrog net Also starting mid week 3 and continuing through mid week 4. I fed my plant using only water and sledgehammer. I am going to resume normal feeding in a day or two.

๐ŸŒธ Lava Cake โ€“ Week 7 Flower (Harvest Special) ๐ŸŒธ This week marks a major milestone in the Lava Cake journey: we harvested phenotype two, who had been affected by bud rot. Bud rot may have tried to take the best from us, but we didnโ€™t allow it. Every infected part was carefully removed, and the remaining healthy plant was harvested and is now drying as a whole plant under controlled conditions. โธป ๐Ÿ™ Apologies & Context We know this is technically a flower week update, but due to the new updates on Grow Diaries and the desire to share photos, videos, and the story of this harvest so weโ€™re combining the harvest with the flower week report. We apologize for any confusion โ€” this is the only way to fully document and expose all thatโ€™s happening, and to make sure the lessons, successes, and challenges are visible for everyone following along. The next report will be the official โ€œHarvest Reportโ€, covering: โ€ข Drying & trimming process โ€ข Curing updates โ€ข Smoke review โธป ๐ŸŒฟ Quick Recap โ€“ From Seed to Here โ€ข Germination: Smooth in the Cannakan with Aptus Regulator & Start Booster, 3 seeds, 2 kept. โ€ข Vegetative Stage: Robust growth under Black Series 600 LED and later ThinkGrow & Lumatek LEDs. Root development and early structure supported with Aptus super soil and micro/macro mixes. โ€ข Transplant: Into 11L fabric pots, carefully monitored environment, roots thriving. โ€ข Early Flower: Weeks 1โ€“4 brought thick white hairs, dense colas, and heavy branching. Nutrient support included Aptus Regulator, CalMag Boost, Plagron boosters, and All-in-One Liquid. โ€ข Mid Flower & Challenges: Week 5โ€“6 showed signs of bud rot. Lava Cake #2 needed early harvest; Lava Cake #1 continues to swell and thrive. Through all of this, the Lava Cakes proved their resilience and quality, showing that even under stress, their genetics shine beautifully. โธป ๐ŸŒฑ Week 7 โ€“ Harvest Details โ€ข Bud Rot Management: All infected material removed and disposed of immediately. โ€ข Harvest Technique: Whole plant harvested, inspected, and prepared for controlled drying. โ€ข Drying: Slow, careful drying in a separate, stable environment to preserve aroma, terpenes, and cannabinoids while minimizing risk. Even though bud rot forced an early cut, the flowers are still dense, fragrant, and high quality. Their resilience and beauty deserve celebration. โธป ๐Ÿ”ฌ Educational Notes โ€ข Bud rot prevention & learning: This week reinforces how crucial airflow, humidity management, and daily inspection are during dense flower stages. โ€ข Whole-plant drying: Allows moisture to equalize gradually between stems and buds, preserving terpenes and flavonoids while keeping the product safe. โ€ข Environmental awareness: Temperature spikes, stagnant airflow, or dense canopy zones can quickly create pockets for mold โ€” constant monitoring is essential. โธป ๐ŸŒŸ Closing Thoughts Week 7 is about resilience, lessons, and triumph over challenges. The Lava Cakes showed their strength even under pressure but needed to be harvested early, so we did it, no fears this is the only way and the way to save the rest of the closet sharing girls We want to celebrate the journey, from seed to harvest, and thank everyone following along for learning and growing with us. The next report will focus entirely on drying, trimming, and tasting โ€” the final step where we get to enjoy the fruits of all the care, attention, and love put into these girls. ๐Ÿ“ฒ Donโ€™t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. ๐Ÿ’š Growers love to all ๐Ÿ’š P.S. โ€“ Heavy Fruits & Harvest Decision One of the key reasons we decided to harvest Lava Cake #1 this week was how heavy the colas had become. The flowers were so dense and weighty that some branches were starting to bend, snap, and strain under the load. While this is a testament to the plantโ€™s vigor and genetics, it also increased the risk of further bud rot and damage, making an early, careful harvest the safest and most sensible choice. Even under pressure, these girls delivered impressive structure, weight, and resin coverage, proving their strength and quality until the very last moment. Thank you all for being here with me, see you all on the next report, Growers Love to All and never stop believing ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™

Pre98 Bubba , oh how Iโ€™ve missed you for so many years! These ones came out absolutely gorgeous! Loving the the purple phenos ๐Ÿ˜ ! These ladies liked to stretch quite a bit so youโ€™re gonna want to use some LST on em but I also recommend topping at least 6 times to get a better bang on your yield ! Expect nice tight purple buds with a tremendous amount of frost covering, some of the frostiest Bubba Iโ€™ve ever had! Over all I give it 10 stars an would definitely over an over run this strain!

Outdoor Auto #2 Sour Diesel fastbuds originals sour diesel auto 13th November 2020 BLACK FRIDAY ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ‘ป lol Only if ya superstitous ๐Ÿ˜ Okay so you may have noticed there is only one sour diesel plant featured this week? That is because I have put the other plant out bush somewhere alongside a Male auto plant to be open pollinated. I didn't want the risk of having any of my other plants pollinated so I took the male auto and the sour diesel a fair ways out into the bush , found a protected spot and will leave them both there for atleast a week or until the male has well and truly released pollen into the air. Once I feel that the plants have had their "sexy time" I will collect some extra pollen for freezer storage before pulling up the male and bringing the sour diesel plant back home to finish off the seed production process. By doing it this way I hope to get quite a few "auto" beans to play with ๐Ÿ˜Ž * Now for a quick report on the other plant that is still here and flowering. She is finally starting to put on a little bit of bulk and smell which is encouraging. ๐Ÿ˜€ The bio bloom and worm castings reall made a difference I feel . That is about it for this week , When I go out to check on the ones out bush I will take the camera so I can get some snaps. Thanks for stopping by ๐Ÿ‘ Edit 14th November I went out to water the Sour diesel and Male auto that are out bush. Above you will see a video of my highly technical and advanced methods of pollination ๐Ÿ˜‰

Hey Guys! Super excited this week! I've really been wanting to try growing outdoors, so I built a cheap hoop house! Got most of this stuff for the frame from Lowes under 300$. All the soil products I got from GrowGreenMI. Some really cool people out there. One thing I'm super worried about is drainage. Right now those holes are about 4 feet deep and they've got about 4 inches of water in them already. What's been cautioned is that, eventually, about 2 months in these plants roots will grow and reach the bottom and cause root rot to form. One of the biggest things I was trying to be wary of was causing root rot. This was also the biggest precautionary measure I took when mixing the soil. Adding the extra perlite, coco, and clay pebbles. Best advice right now is to build the soil up on the holes another 16 to 18 inches and possible stick a PVC pipe down to the lowest drainage point of the hole to allow some of that natural occurring water to evaporate. Any advice anyone has on it is welcomed! Making a compost tea for the soil outdoors, will probably put 2 cups in each RDWC bucket as well and let that do it's magic for a day or so before nutrient change. Raised the bed about 14 inches as well! All the seeds sank! Off to a good start! Lol

White Truffle is a very promising new strain from Zamnesia, let's see how it goes. ** Remember that we are growing a plant worked with the techniques indicated and another left to grow without pruning to preserve its speed; in the previous/next diary you will find the other plant of the same variety. In this diary we find the plant worked with the Main Lining and here we immediately noticed that it is a plant with irregular internodes, that is, the mini branches are not parallel on the main branch and are in spurious numbers and strangely positioned, a big gamble to decide what to keep and what to leave. I hope I have not cleaned too much, because I have done it but it seems wise to me to try to leave everything that can see the light better. We are in a 100% organic configuration, the soil is recycled Promix + 1/3 fresh soil + 10% Perlite + RQS Mycorrhizae Mix (4 g in the mix, 1 g under the small fiber pot). We have switched to the early flowering program We feed with // 1 ml/l Power Roots - 1 ml/l Pure Zym - 1 ml/l Sugar Royal - 3 ml/l Alga Bloom - 1 ml/l Power Buds We spray 5 ml/l Vita Race Foliare once a week. For all the information: https://plagron.com/ All nutrients are available from Zamnesia: https://www.zamnesia.io/it/531-growshop/476-fertilizers We always have the excellent mycorrhizae from RQS flowing in the soil. https://www.zamnesia.io/5778-mix-micorrhiza-easy-roots.html Try this strain, it's an autumnal delight ---- // https://www.zamnesia.io/11184-zamnesia-white-truffle-seeds.html Zamnesia Brief Description // The product of crossing GG with Peanut Butter Breath, White Truffle boasts a first-class genetic line, taking the best from some of the best American cultivars.

Orion F1 Liquid Nutrients: The seedling is looking fairly unhappy. I will keep an eye on it. The plant has been given its first dose of Mega Crop Part B to introduce some more nitrogen, hopefully she will begin to grow some more and start greening up. The plant was watered when the pot was dried, to avoid mould and root issues. 8.5.25: The plant was watered with 1ltr of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.0. I added per litre; โ™ก 1/4 TSP Mega Crop Part B โ™ก 1ml Trace PPM: 656 PH: 6.0. โ˜† Xpert Nutrients PH down, up to 1ml. โ˜† Ecothrive Neutralise 1 drop per litre from the 1ml pipette, which is attached. This is my dechlorinator. Let's see how she goes. Thanks for stopping by ๐Ÿ˜Š๐ŸƒโœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿคž
