🌿 Week 3 – Transplant Week – Lava Cake (Zamnesia Seeds) 🍰 Grower: Dog Doctor Pheno Selection: Lava Cake #1 & #2 Pots: 11L Amnesia Fabric Pots Light: Future Off – Black Series 600 Environment: Dual air systems (TrolMaster + Spider Farmer) Feeding: Hand-watering (for now) Monitoring: TrolMaster ecosystem (in progress) ⸻ 🌱 Transplant Time – Rooted, Ready, and Rising This week marked a major milestone: our two selected phenos, Lava Cake #1 and #2, were officially transplanted into 11-liter Amnesia fabric pots. The girls are thriving, roots are pristine white and full of life, and the energy in the tent is buzzing with potential. We celebrated the moment properly—with photos in the studio, of course. They looked so beautiful, they deserved the spotlight. 📸 We’ll try this again next week, before they grow too big to carry! ⸻ Why Fabric Pots? We chose Amnesia fabric pots for their root-focused benefits: • Air-pruning the roots naturally, preventing circling and encouraging a healthy root ball • Increased oxygen to the root zone, supporting microbial activity and faster nutrient uptake • Better drainage, reducing the risk of overwatering • Durability & sustainability—washable and reusable Fabric pots turn the container into a living zone that breathes with the plant. And now, these queens have the space they need to express themselves fully. ⸻ 🌿 Soil Mix & Nutrient Support We prepared a rich, bio-balanced super soil transplant mix, boosted with Aptus Holland amendments: 🔄 Transplant Mix: • Super soil base • Aptus Mycor-Mix – inoculates roots with beneficial mycorrhizae • Aptus Micro-Mix – promotes microbial diversity and root health • Aptus Substrate Buffer Powder – stabilizes pH and nutrient flow 💧 Feed Mix (per liter): • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml (stress support & nutrient flow) • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml (structure & balance) • Aptus All-in-One Liquid – 1 ml (base nutrition) • Aptus Start Booster – 2 ml (root & shoot stimulation) 💦 Water Stats: • pH: 5.83 • EC: 1.01 • Water Temp: 18.5°C We continue to bottom-water—placing the solution in trays and letting the girls draw it in themselves. This promotes downward root expansion and avoids oversaturation at the crown. ⸻ 🌀 Airflow & Environmental Control With multiple strains in one tent, proper airflow and environmental balance are essential. • 2x 6-inch Extractors (one TrolMaster Aerofan, one Spider Farmer) • 1x 6-inch Intake Fan • All fans are filtered with carbon filters to purify air and manage odor, even early on. Prevention is key. The Aerofan is controlled by the TrolMaster system, giving real-time response to temp and humidity. The Spider Farmer fan is managed by a GGS controller, running parallel automation. • Room Temp: 27°C • Humidity: 57.4% • CO₂: 632 ppm • Light: Full-spectrum from the Black Series 600—compact, clean, and consistent. This environment isn’t just “good”—it’s being crafted as a living ecosystem. One that will evolve into semi-automation, allowing us to trust and fine-tune from the TrolMaster app. ⸻ 🔍 What This Week Is (and Isn’t) What it is: • A foundational week: transplant, root expansion, environmental balance • A chance to observe and support the transition without stress • A moment to shift from “starter energy” to serious vegetative growth What it isn’t: • A week for heavy training—we’re letting them root down before any top work • A time to overwater—bottom-feeding keeps everything stable • A race—slow roots = strong fruits later on ⸻ 💬 Final Words Our Lava Cakes are happy, lush, and ready to grow into queens. With their roots now in rich, living soil, and the tent gradually evolving into a precision-controlled jungle, we’re laying the groundwork for a clean, healthy, and joyful flowering run ahead. More studio photos soon. More lessons too. This isn’t just a grow, it’s a journey of discovery, shared with love.

Very happy with how this little cake is turning out, she is starting to smell and she has beautiful buds starting to develop. She is also very frosty and taking her sweet time, probably 80+ days.

Our Black Runtz branded Zamnesia has arrived at the moment of truth, it's going very well from the start and the god of Jella has punished me because I'm bragging too much: I accidentally knocked out the fan that cut a brunch. I'm an asshole, I was very high and I did this damage that I also reported in the photo to make amends and remind myself not to do this bullshit. Apart from this which is still a disgrace for me, the plant is an excellent beauty, it's doing very well, we only went from 16 buds to 14 buds like this damage that I caused. They know 14 succulent buds, let's hope. If I don't do any more damage. We did our best, Zamnesia has put superb genetics and at home B&B we are working to show you the plants in all their possible meanings. This plant like all the other photoperiodic ones has been worked with a topping x16 buds, simply repeating the topping technique without doing anything else than cleaning the leaves from time to time and now the branches that I believe do not give me good flowers at the bottom. After the damage x14 buds The 14 buds are not perfectly aligned there is something that escapes upwards but it is normal in the economy of a plant i tried to FIM before go in bloom. We are still using soil, fertilizers and all the additives recommended by Plagron 100% organic. The plant has been flowering for 3 days, in the diary I leave it indicated as the last week of vegetative but we move on to the fertilizers for flowering. We have now moved on to the early flowering program which maintains the same additives Power Roots, Sugar Royal, Pure Zym and adds the flowering stimulant Power Buds. Now the base fertilizer is now Alga Bloom with which I get along very very well even more than Alga Grow that sometimes I have to understand well how to dose in some particular cases ( topping). Probably try to prepare the soil with Plagron Super Mix or with the Zamnesia Pellet. The Green Sensation will arrive as the hero of the end of flowering and at the same time it will be time to remove power roots and a week later the Pure Zym enzymes. ---- Decide on the right soil and calculate your fertilizer card based on the soil on the official website. -- www.plagron.com Try a seed of this strain that drives us crazy.. -------- https://www.zamnesia.io/en/11159-zamnesia-seeds-black-runtz.html Zamnesia Description // Black Runtz comes from a truly legendary genetic pool. Our breeders used three modern classics from the United States to create this strain: Zkittlez, Gelato, and Runtz. With 20% THC and flavors of grapes and berries, Zkittlez passed on her delicious flavors and relaxing effects. Gelato contributed to Black Runtz's immense flavor profile by passing on high concentrations of the terpenes limonene and humulene. Finally, Black Runtz inherited the high potency of the original Runtz, a strain with a respectable 21% THC. The end result of this 3-way cross is a strain with 55% indica genetics and 45% sativa. Black Runtz boasts rapid flowering times, high potency, and contrasting yet balanced terpenes that supports its delicious flavor profile.

So despite many obstacles and hurdles, we are on the last week of flowering hopefully the heat stays down for the next few days, and I can get some color into these nugs the sativa Room may need a few more weeks no big deal. This is typical of sativa leaning strains. this will give me a bit of a stagger in between harvest so I don’t have to do all the work in one day which is a good thing .

So she's getting pretty close to being finished I reckon guys!! She's had pretty much straight water for a month or so now with only a few little feeds Her buds are feeling dense and have developed a beautiful purple colour (which I am trying my hardest to enhance!) They also have a beautiful citrus smell with some earthy overtones and are looking frosty!! Trichomes are still cloudy no amber! It's Tuesday 12/10/21 day 55 of flower and her next drink will be tonight and she will be getting a weak dose of feed, 1 maybe 2 more then flush!!!!

Her grow was not particularly easy but with a little care and attention she will be a masterpiece, not a very strong eater, less is better when she's a baby and deffently as a clone, but once flower hit it was smooth sailing. 100% recommend an amazing overall plant 💯 and was such a pleasure to grow and smoke🌱🌳💨

19 May 2021 Finally got around to doing the Low Stress Training today. I have all the branches spread out and tied down in order to be able to control how she grows from now until harvest. I’m cultivating her differently from my previous grow. Trying to put some lessons learned to use. Hopefully it works out well. Regardless, it’s going to be a learning experience. Today starts the 6th week of the vegetative stage. I believe I’m going to be able to flip her sooner than expected. Today I fed: CALiMAGic 2.5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, FloraGro 10ml, and FloraBloom 2.5ml. The initial pH was 6.50 and needed no adjustment. The TDS meter was 768 ppm. I fed half a gallon again and still had plenty of runoff. Runoff pH was 6.10, and runoff TDS was 2400. The tent temperature was 81 degrees F, and humidity was 42%. Solution was chilled to 50 degrees F. So far she’s growing well. 21 May 2021 Feeding time again. Blueberry Muffins is looking GOOD! All of her branches I tied down the other day have started to turn upward toward the light. My pH meter is on the fritz, but my records show that the solution hasn’t needed any adjustments since I started giving nutrients. I fed half a gallon of water chilled to 53.3 degrees F with the following: CALiMAGic 2.5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, FloraGro 10ml, & FloraBloom 2.5ml. The TDS was 842 ppm, and the runoff TDS was 2522 ppm. I decided to top the plant today and to try and clone the top myself. My history of cloning is 100% failure, so I’m not holding out much hope. Hopefully this arrests its upward growth for now. 23 May 2021 This little girl needs to CHILL OUT for a while and slow down her growth! It seems like she exploded in growth over night and is growing OUT (wide), and is getting bushy. I have 3, most likely 4 weeks left till I can move her into the larger tent, but I’m going to have to do something! Oh, she looks great by the way. I’m not increasing her nutes till I can flip her! I fed the same as I have been: CALiMAGic 2.5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, FloraGro 10ml, and FloraBloom 2.5ml. Historically the pH has been between 6.47 - 6.52 without adjustment, so I fed the solution with those nutrients in water chilled to 51 degrees F. The TDS was 762 ppm going in, and the runoff was 2561 ppm. Tent temperature was 80.6 degrees F, and humidity was 44%. 25 May 2021 Today is the last day of week 6 (2 of this diary), and I am going to flip the switch tomorrow starting the flowering stage in the smaller tent with just one light. It is getting bigger by the day, and I also noted some brown spots on the leaves which indicate a possible Calcium deficiency. The CALiMAGic will be increased in the next feeding, but I started giving the new amount today because of the spots on the leaves. I will harvest the DarkStar Kush in my large tent in 3 weeks, so I figure my Blueberry Muffin and her tent mate will do fine for the time in the smaller tent until I can move them. Other than the possible calcium issue, the plant looks great! I fed half a gallon of water chilled to 46.6 degrees F, and added FloraMicro 7.5ml, FloraGro 10ml, and FloraBloom 2.5ml. The initial/final pH was 6.6 and needed no adjustment. The TDS was 932 ppm going in. Runoff pH was 6.4, and TDS was 2701 ppm. The tent temp was 79.4 degrees F, and humidity was 53%. Projected harvest date is 09 July 2021. Can’t wait to see the colors and the smell!!

No joke, the small plant last week blew up. It grew almost 10 inches in a single week! I had to put the Vulcan pinch on this skinny beast! I know it’s taboo to let train a plant in flower but she was forcing my light up.

Another decent week I would think. Only issue is the CDLC. She seems to be a slow grower but no new issues have popped up on her. Miracle Berry Express is a monster. I'm LSTing every day...I don't really know when to stop so...yeah.. Everyone is looking good. This is first grow but I have really good feelings about it. Gave em all a hair cut too. I think I took too much though. Next time I won't take any small ones. I'm pretty sure I stunted some nodes....I'll have a pretty big harvest regardless I'm thinking. I kinda just listen to the plants...if they look like they have an issue I'll respond. Otherwise I let them do their thing.
