I busted myself up so havent been able to get into the grow much for a couple weeks. They are definitely thirsty and not getting enough water so will water more deeply next time around a gallon per tote a day.

Welcome to the smallest harvest in my grow-tent! The LSD from barneys farm: GROW: This little plant grew extremely well in her 4 Liter pot and took as much nutrients as I wanted to give! She was really small in her vegetative Phase, but she stretched pretty much in flowering and developed nice and strong branches! Her height was about 30 cm and the smallest plant in my grow tent, due to the small size of her pots! I just wanted to try her and I had a small space between the other plants, so I decided to leave her there! I really liked her structure and her leaves, which looked really wild and rough😍 HARVEST: I put my LSD into a vase for 2 weeks for ripening, because she developed some bananas in her flowers! But luckily there is no seed in any bud of my plants, so I think I’ve done it well! I harvested her mostly wet, which made it take much longer... other than that it was fun to harvest her, came out with 16,7 g dry buds and 7 grams of cuttings! That’s pretty cool for me because she was just a small experiment if I can place a fifth plant in my tent, usually I would have put her outdoors! BAG APPEAL: 8/10 She surely has a nice sativa-structure in her buds, although no hints of purple or blue in them. The green is really bright and fresh, looks like high quality weed for sure! She is not that hardly trichome-covered like my blue gelato, but sure she has some pretty shiny calyxes! SMELL: 8/10 Her smell is really musky and earthy, as well as sweet at the end, which makes it a really nice bouquet of flavours to experience when you smell at the jars filled with her buds! Personally I love her smell! TASTE: 8/10 She already tastes pretty good in my storm vaporiser, but she’s not totally cured yet. I prefer the taste of my strawberry lemonade, but this one definitely has some hints of mint! EFFECT: 9/10 Her effect is really strong, crawling up your mind and your body really slowly, but lasts for about 4 hours! When you smoke it, you firstly get the feeling of happiness and classic red and dry eyes, but than it disappears and comes back with a really trippy and colourful effect! It’s like having a window between you eyes and the reality, and this window Is coloured in rainbow colours! Not as intense as mushrooms, but it surely has some relation to this effect. After a funny and giggly time and another few vape-hits, she’ll ,,blast you into another dimension“ - for real! I was so passed out, couldn’t barely speak, but still feeling damn fine and just perfect! Still I prefer the effect of my Shiskaberry due to her more talkactive effect and the need to walk. Also Shiskaberry is more trippy than this one, also related to the effect in your mind, including you thoughts and your state of mind! I Vaped this strain at 200-220 degree Celsius, which made her producing big clouds of tasty vapour! We smoked 0.6 g in this evening, we were 4 people and 1 of them Is a heavy smoker since years! But she was passed out same as we were😅 so all in all a really nice strain, we smoked it in the evening outdoors, but I think at a sunny day in the park this strain might be even better! So thank you for reading this harvest-report, see you in the next Report on blue gelato or peyote critical! Not sure yet which one I’ll try next😋

Hard to believe it's been another week. These beautiful girls are growing great. They're definitely swelling amazing especially at the top colas. Starting to see some faded leaves so I think I'll back down my nutes from 1050 to around 800. All in all Happy Growing.

💪😍

Again it's been a fairly productive week with the grow. Didn't quite hit my VPD target but I wasn't far from it. There is enough foliage that I managed to remove the humidifier from the tent. #3 Gorilla Cookies FF has come on great this week. Like the Tropicana Cookies she has shot up this week and has big leaves, because of this I also attempted to fim to slow her down a bit. Out of the 3 strains in the tent this one seems to have droopy leaves a good few hours before lights out, as if it's had enough for the day and gone to bed. I don't think it's got any issues but I'll keep a closer eye on this one. One more week of Veg I feel before 12/12.

Chopped on day 90 7 days drying Yield: 5.86 Ounces dry weight To me I get a rubber/latex type smell from this strain. I've only sampled a small nug. Now sealed in grove bag to cure.

Her large leaves curl sometimes so I know she does not like too much moisture and with her being in a plastic pot makes it worse however once she gets the sun ☀️ life comes back…I will soon transfer her to a fabric pot.

Day 66 - Today i fed her, kept same feeding as lat week, will only feed acti-vera every couple times. She´s been very healthy im very happy. Im still confused about the "rust" spots, but it´s not spreading. Day 68 - These last couple days was cloudy. Today probably will rain. She´s smelling :) Has a very fresh greenish blueberry smell. Day 69 - Today was a hard day. I woke up and the bottom leafs were yellowing and she wasn´t happy. Is it N deficiency or overfeeding? Or maybe fading already? Will keep a close eye and watch how/if it develops. Spotted leaf septoria and removed infected leqfs right away and also spotted some rot in one bud, which i removed. Cricket bites are exposing the plant. Let´s keep strong and help the plant fight and recover. I need to get neem oil Day 71 - Today i fed her, but now i am doubting myself as im thinking i should have flushed at least once with ph´d water. Is she fading already at this stage? I´ll work to keep things in control. Today i also slightly defoliated her, removed inside and top fan leaves that were shading the buds mostly to also improve airflow, as buds are getting shaped. I also want to keep leaf septoria, bud rot, and other diseases away.

🍰 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.

Week 14 Day 92 (10/16) Checked her trichomes and she's just starting to show some amber. She may need watered tonight, probably will add in some Mammoth P and molasses too. Day 93 (10/17) I've been slacking on updates and pics, but there's just not too much to say or document. She's still doing her thing, really looking more frosty than the first partial harvest. Thinking I should have waited a bit longer for the first cut, but oh well, it still gets the job done. I have held off on watering as her pot is still pretty heavy. It was lighter this morning so maybe this afternoon I will water her. I'm keeping an eye on her trichomes as I want there to be more amber for the final harvest. Day 94 (10/18) Everything from the partial harvest has been dried and I finally weighed it all. Came out to around 48.5g (including the 4-5g we've been smoking on). There's still plenty more on her. Everything has been jarred up for a few days and I've got Boveda packs in the jars too. Day 98 (10/22) Checked the trichomes this morning and I think I might put her in the dark for 48 hours starting tomorrow night. She's turning into a fuggin 100 day auto. Day 99 (10/23) Well, I made the executive decision to prep her for harvest. When her lights went off last night, I unplugged it from the timer so she'll have her 48 hours of dark. I also added some ice cubes around her base. I've read about the dark helping and the ice simulating a frost, but I've never done this so we'll see. Shouldn't hurt right? So I'll be harvesting her Saturday night or Sunday. And hopefully popping another over the weekend 😃 Day 100 (10/24) Well she's been in the dark almost her 48 hours. I have family in town tonight, so she may have to wait until tomorrow to get cut. Or I might just stay up half the night and get her down tonight lol. We'll see. Day 101 (10/25) Technically week 15, but who's counting. Cut her down today. Got her cleaned up and into paper bags to dry. Will get a weight and post the harvest once she's dry. Getting another one ready to go 😉

Hi everyone 🤗 This week the Orange Sherbert Phenotype # 1 and the Zkittlez Phenotype # 2 were harvested :-) Now the Victory Kush 1 - 3, Zkittlez 1 - 2 and Orange Sherbert 1 are ready to dry. All others except the gelato are rinsing 👍 Orange Sherbert 2 will be harvested next week :-) Until then, I wish everyone a nice weekend, stay healthy and let it grow 🍀🌱👌

10/12/2023 - Plants are all looking great! 11/12/2023 - Just taking some fan leaves out and keep watching 😋 15/12/2023 - All good, already we can see the 3 different phenos expressing

Beginning of week 8! Things are going well in the tent, new life is thriving and ladies are coming along nicely!

Hello Diary. The second week of flowering is over, as seen in the photos, Mimosa # 2 flew into the sky. She has grown 45cm in a week which is twice her size since last week. Both plants look good and healthy. The color of the leaves is dark green and they shine as if they were varnished. Both have stretched quite a bit, especially Mimosa # 2, to whom defoliation has obviously come in handy. Also after I put the bending clips, I directed the branches away from the plant to get as much light as possible. We’ll see how the flowers continue to form and fill in, but for now, all is well. Watering is now every two days, I added CalMg preventively twice and added one Easy Bloom Booster tablet. Conditions at the "Farm" are not ideal, the temperature is around 29 degrees which is expected given the summer months. Here’s what it looked like last week. 14/06/2021 - Day 30. Watering. I always prepare about 8 liters of water, I regulated p.H. at 6.5, added 1.5 ml / lit CalMg and one Easy Bloom Booster tablet. With that, I watered all three plants evenly. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 27.6 degrees and 40% humidity. 16/06/2021 - Day 32. Watering. I lowered the p.H to 6.2 and added 1.5 ml / lit CalMg. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 29 degrees and 50% humidity. 18/06/2021 - Day 34. Watering. This time I didn't add any extras, I just lowered the p.H to 6.4. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 29 degrees and 50% humidity. 19/06/2021 - Day 35. Photography and height measurement. Mimosa # 1 - 104 cm Mimosa # 2 - 90 cm That’s all for this week, see you soon.

Dates aren't lining up well since I didn't document the germination process . From now on each new post will start with what day the plants are on e.g "Day 20" Day 46 They have grown a lot since last week event though I've neglected them a little. They're showing signs of what I believe to be a nitrogen and phosphorus deficiency. Maybe some cal-mag too. I let them dry back too far a couple times in the past week. I probably should've transplanted sooner, but here we are! Transplanted into 5 gallon plastic pots with extra drainage holes drilled into the bottom. I have not been good recently with taking pictures and note keeping. My process for transplanting was the same as the 1 gallon process. I mixed together FFHF potting soil with roughly 15% worm castings, and roughly a 3-4 cups of perlite. Gently removing the plants from the 1 gallon pot; I used a water bottle to wet the root mass with some de-chlorinated tap water ph'd to 6.5. I then evenly distributed a heaping tablespoon of Xtreme Gardening Mykos Mycorrhizae over the moistened root mass. Into the middle of pre filled 5 gallon pot, I added a little more Mykos before inserting the plant into it's new home. I added more soil mixture and lightly packed them in. Then I watered 1.5L of plain de-chlorinated tap water ph'd to 6.5. No defoliation, I'm letting them bounce back after transplanting. In hindsight they definitely needed a feeding of nutrient solution and an increase in volume watered as well. Whoops.

Strawberry Trop Cherry - STRNG Seeds W12F3 1/25-31 TPS1 14ml/g Silica Gold 3ml/g 1/27 73 6.5 ph & 935ppm 1/27 66.3F, 6.6 ph & 1014 ppm To balance out the feed solution, I blend some of one bucket into the other and then back to the first bucket. I do this a couple of times to even out the PPM and temperature.

Stay green, growers love 💚🌿 💫Natrona💫

The buds put on some size this last week. This strain was supposed to be around 8 weeks but I’m day 58 since flipping the switch and they are still going. Started flushing today with plain water and flawless finish. My runoff ppm was at 1000, I’ll keep flushing this week. My harvest date will be right at 10 weeks.

Anything is sticky as fuck…
