Welcome to week 8 🌱✨ The Girl Scout Cookies ladies are doing good so far. I did some more defoliation and lollipopping. I guess the stretch will be done soon. Unfortunately Salem and Morgana are still standing tall in the back. I still have no idea how to get those main stems out of the hotspot. Edit: I installed an automatic watering system today. Individual treatment for every lady. Let’s see how they’ll like it. 🧙‍♂️

Hi everyone, fantastic growers My experiment can be said to be successful! I germinated and collected two seeds in the same vase .... * Perhaps with a single seed I would have collected the same quantity, but it was worth trying and experimenting since I am contrary to trashing a seed already germinated! Everyone has the right to live his life ... especially if it's a question of increasing my stocks :)

🌿 Lava Cake – Week 6 (2nd Week Flower) | Morphing Into Bloom 🌿 The Lava Cakes are officially stepping deeper into flower mode. Stretch is slowing down, morphology is shifting, the leaves, the stance, the energy of the plants are clearly moving toward bloom. Even without a huge photo set this week, the video walkthrough tells the full story: happy, thriving plants under carefully tuned conditions. ⸻ 📖 A Quick Recap – From Seed to Here • Seedling Stage: Strong germination, started in solo cups with Aptus support, rooting fast. • Veg Growth: Transplanted into fabric pots, lush branching, topped and trained with ease. • Environment Setup: TrolMaster ecosystem dialed in step by step — exhausts, intakes, carbon filters, sensors. • Lighting Evolution: Black Series 600 → Future of Grow LEDs → ThinkGrow Model 1 → now with a Lumatek Zeus Compact Pro 465W and the ThinkGrow ICL-300 added to the lineup. The room is a galaxy of light. • Nutrition Journey: From Aptus start boosters to super soil base, steadily adapted feeding. Now, the recipe grows richer for flowering. Each step has built the foundation for what’s happening now, the Lava Cakes standing strong in early flower. ⸻ 🍽️ This Week’s Feeding Recipe We swapped Start Booster for Top Booster and layered in a new experiment: Plagron trio support. Current Mix (per L water): • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml • Aptus Top Booster – 0.25 ml • Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml • Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml • Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml The Aptus All-in-One Liquid is on pause for now, pellets in the soil still provide baseline nutrition. This new combo is about flower initiation + terpene support + bio-stimulants. It’s partly science, partly intuition — but that’s how discoveries are made. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment This Week • Room Temp: Up to 34°C (AC unit coming soon to stabilize) • Humidity: 60–70% at times • VPD: ~1.89 kPa • Soil Moisture: Watered when dry-down hits 19–20% • Monitoring: TrolMaster WCS Substrate Sensor → reading EC, moisture %, and soil temp straight to Tent-X brain Conditions aren’t perfect, but the girls are handling it gracefully. Warmth makes them thirsty, and with careful irrigation + sensor data, they’re drinking daily and staying strong. ⸻ 💡 Lights of the Garden • Future of Grow LED • ThinkGrow Model 1 and ICL-300 • Lumatek Zeus Compact Pro 465W All tied into the TrolMaster network. The room is now a layered ecosystem of precision — light spread, airflow, and CO₂ distribution tuned for a canopy that can handle big flower production ahead. ⸻ 🐝 A Note for Nature – The Bees Alongside all this controlled technology, we can’t forget the real farmers of the world: bees. A photo this week shows a bee at work, pollinating. Without bees, there would be no flowers, not in the garden, not in the fields, not in the orchards. They are nature’s TrolMaster, carrying genetics forward, balancing ecosystems, ensuring that plants fulfill their destiny. In our indoor rooms, we simulate everything: light, water, air, food. But bees remind us of the real story outside, a world built on quiet pollination, day by day. A fairytale where the smallest wings sustain the biggest cycles of life. So this week, the Lava Cakes bloom under LEDs, and the bees bloom under the sun. 🌞🐝 ⸻ 🚀 Looking Ahead • AC will stabilize the room climate and drop stress levels. • Flowers will set fully, with pistils stacking over the next 7–10 days. • Plagron trio will show its effects, watching closely for flavor, resin, and density changes. • More light power may be added as the canopy demands. ⸻ ✨ Closing Thought: Even on a busy week, even with just a video instead of many photos, the story of these Lava Cakes is alive. They’re moving into flower with strength, under lights, with data guiding them — but always with love as the main ingredient. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚

Pues no sé el porqué pero se están retrasando mucho. Las voy a cortar en los próximos días aunque aún no han llegado a madurar del todo. Los próximos días hará calor extrema por mi zona y no me quiero arriesgar a que se me mueran. Definitivamente ya no cultivo de nuevo a partir de abril sin aire acondicionado. Está vez mucho menos pero espero que al menos sea de buena calidad

Date: 30.09.2024 So the green gelato is doing fine inside shes kinda starting to turn purplish red on some parts of her buds. The 2 Lemon Cherrys are still outside Im starting to lose hope for the 2 girls but fck it hope will still get smth out. Date: 04.10.2024 Sooo I think that the gelato is going to get chopped down in the next 2-3 weeks. The 2 Lemon Cherrys aint getting any where with the weather atm so I think im just gone give them a few more weeks and hopefully this strain will be good enough for a bit of rosin or IceOLator

Day 43 purpling petioles is back. Root zone ph tests are perfect 5.9 6.0. She is fed at only 650 ppm on constant drip feed. Anything higher and was seeing some tip burn. May try low low low dose pk boost. I've read up on adding at 1/8 strength and feed middle 3 weeks can help. Think I'm going to give it a shot next reservoir change. Day 44 res change. Implemented Canna PK boost at 10% strength. Filled res with 2 gal. Will monitor plants signals. A couple bottom leaves yellowed and died. Not concerned as the leaves where well below canopy and low light conditions. Day 45 .75 gal consumed. All is well Day 46 she drank another 3/4 gal last night. Maintenance flush completed. Adjusted fan to above canopy and while doing so my hand inadvertently brushed against a bud and she smells of pure lemon candy at the moment. Stunning. Day 47 another 3/4 gal gone and the top of the coco had a few dry splotches. She's out drinking my feeder. I may have to add a second carrot to the pot. Day 48 she drank a gal last night. I think I finally got her flowering nutes dialed back in. Initial runoff ppm coming out same as going in. Overall appearance strong and healthy. Added 3 gal to res. Day 49 checked her at lights on and she was bone dry. Somehow got an air bubble in the drip line. Immediately drenched her. she looks fine. Fingers crossed. Added some pics/vids of some propagators that I'm playing around with. No MJ yet, but its spring and planting my herbs and veggies.

Drunken bitch Slap is growing great under the Hortibloom Solux 350 . 1 week bg into light change and not much has happened yet. Changes will show in a week to 2. I changed the solution today as well. Also increased light strength to full power. Nothing else to report at this time. Thank you Hortibloom, and Aeque genetics. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Everything is going good again this week, girls are starting to pack on the buds now for sure. Screen is not the evenness canopy, but it will do. 1 plant does seem to not be doing the same as the others, bud wise, though, but she got stressed a bit when I broke a large branch early into flower while training it under my screen maybe. I also noticed my light was not quite coming all the way over on that side of the tent far enough so I fixed that and we will see how she does. Buds are only half The size maybe of what are on the other 3 plant blanches. I also did a water change out end of last week and kept the nutrients on the lighter side still. I usually go opposite and push them with the nutrients, but this time we are dialing it back just a tad to see the results. So far so good anyway. Lol Cheers💨

Everything went smoothly, the weather down here is perfect hitting that sweet spot of 26 degrees at day and 24 at night with 35% ish humidity. Right at time for resin production and trichomes production. Flowers are stacking nicely and the smell is just amazing, a strong pungent smell kinda like black licorice but with a hint of blueberry in the back . This makes for a great stealth grow throw a bag of black licorce on the table and you’re in full ninja mode, if ninja were to grow weed... here i go spiraling aigain thanks to tha sativa weed i smoked 👍🏻✌️🏻
