I'm impressed with this C4 Auto, from fastbuds this is one of two plants I grew. This plant is a real indoor plant she grows lovely. The other plant is an outdoor plant it's pretty too don't get me wrong but where i thought the outdoors would produce a bigger plant i got the opposite of that, I got a Mutated plant, nice colored bud on here but she continues to mutate even in flowering stage my indoor plant is twice her height and size but love both my C4 Auto from fastbuds. Even if they broke my heart by changing payment policy, I'll never be able to get seeds from fastbuds again so I decided to spray my runt on the outdoors with tiresias mist feminized seed spray..... hopefully I get some pollen and able to pollinate my indoor C4 Auto..

All plants are in good health and after the initial stretching during the first weeks of flowering stage they finally stop growing in high. I began to feed the girls once a week with molasses but it's too early to evaluate results. What I can say about molasses is that it's very sticky, super dense and quite tricky to mix with water. Plant #5 looks drinking less water the the other sisters, in fact the soil is less dry the the other and the pot is heavier. Apart from that plant is growing happily.

๐ŸŒธ Lava Cake โ€“ Week 7 (3rd Week Flower) | Blossoms Rising The third week of flower has arrived, and our Lava Cakes are stepping fully into bloom. Both girls are looking beautiful, symmetrical, and strong, with thick white pistils reaching out and leaves still praying to the light. Their similarity in structure makes this run feel almost like growing twins, each reflecting the same genetics, each glowing with energy. โธป ๐Ÿ”™ Looking Back โ€“ The Road Here From seeds sprouting in soft cups โ†’ to vigorous veg under Future of Grow and ThinkGrow LEDs โ†’ to the careful transplant and expansion in the 8x8 ecosystem, every stage has been about setting a solid foundation. โ€ข Feeding: Aptus core line + Plagron boosters โ€ข Training: Gentle guiding, letting them branch freely โ€ข Environment: Tuned by the TrolMaster brain, with sensors guiding irrigation and VPD All of this has brought us here: lush plants in early bloom, no signs of stress, and a canopy built for flower stacking. โธป ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ Current Recipe โ€“ Staying Steady This week, we keep the same feed โ€” consistency is key as the flowers set. Per L Water: โ€ข Aptus Regulator โ€“ 0.15 ml โ€ข Aptus CalMag Boost โ€“ 0.25 ml โ€ข Aptus Top Booster โ€“ 0.5 ml โ€ข Plagron Power Buds โ€“ 1 ml โ€ข Plagron Sugar Royal โ€“ 1 ml โ€ข Plagron Green Sensation โ€“ 1 ml With the Aptus All-in-One Liquid still paused, the soilโ€™s embedded nutrition + pellets are helping balance things out while these bloom boosters do the heavy lifting. โธป ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Room & Rhythm โ€ข Temps: ~31โ€“34ยฐC (still awaiting the AC unit for stabilization) โ€ข Humidity: ~60%, bringing VPD near 1.9 kPa โ€ข Watering: Daily โ€” plants are drinking heavily, irrigated once substrate moisture falls near 19โ€“20% โ€ข Monitoring: TrolMaster WCS substrate sensor + Tent-X keep us informed on EC, moisture, and temps directly in-soil Even with warm conditions, the Lava Cakes are thriving, drinking more, praying more, and pushing out flowers with confidence. โธป ๐ŸŒธ Week 3 Flower โ€“ What We See โ€ข White Hairs: Thick, long, and vibrant, covering the tops like cotton clouds. โ€ข Flower Formation: Calyxes stacking, pistils reaching โ€” no signs of hesitation. โ€ข Leaf Posture: Still upright, showing photosynthesis and metabolism are strong. โ€ข Uniformity: Both plants showing the same pace and morphology, a sign of stable genetics and consistent environment. โธป ๐Ÿ”ฎ Looking Ahead โ€“ What to Expect / Not to Expect โœ… Expect: โ€ข Rapid stacking in the next 2 weeks โ€” buds will start to swell noticeably. โ€ข Aroma development โ€” sweet Lava Cake terpenes may start teasing the air soon. โ€ข Nutrient demands rising steadily as flowers form. โŒ Not to expect: โ€ข Big trichome coverage just yet โ€” resin production typically comes later. โ€ข A slowdown โ€” stretch is nearly over, but flower development is just beginning. โธป โœจ Closing Thoughts The Lava Cakes are shining this week. Both are aligned in their growth, both are drinking and feeding with rhythm, and both are showing that the careful setup, from lights to irrigation to sensors, is paying off. Week 3 of flower is a promise โ€” not yet the harvest, but the first real glimpse of whatโ€™s coming. Thick pistils today, heavy buds tomorrow. With consistency in feeding, environment, and care, these girls are well on their way to becoming the stars of the room. 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.

This week the buds became heavy and rockhard ๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ‘Œ Most leaves are still dark green ๐Ÿ€ Here and there, a few leaves are turning yellow , and some leaves are showing some yellow spots ๐Ÿ‚ Plants are clearly in their final stage ๐Ÿ But as long as they are healthy, I let them bloom a little longerโฑ๏ธ II have 8 plants. I've topped them several times and trained the branches so that each plant has 9 (to 10) main colas. That's a total of about 75 main colas. From 2 x 600 watts, I expect a harvest of at least 1200 grams, or 16 grams per cola; Which is certainly possible ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘

The buds continue to grow, showing no signs of stopping, but the leaves get old. This week i have watered bananas. It's rain. I fear the buds will be damaged. Maybe i will have to harvest soon. THANKYOU. SEE YOU NEXT WEEK.

GIVE THIS GROW A THUMBS UP ๐Ÿ‘ WEEK #2 DAY 9: She was stunted day 6 & is recovering from that currently . She is in a 5x5 with 3 autos between 35-42 days old . The plan is to veg this single Cereal Milk out to fill this entire 5x5 once my Autos are harvested . This is my first run with this cultivar & breeder however it was an easy choice considering I adore the taste , smell, & smoke of the strain! Week 1 issues: The tents VPD was out of whack . Due to the VPD being out of proportion slowed/stunted growth occurred equally across all 4 plants in the tent . Plants showed deficiencies of CalMag and interveinal yellowing , necrosis leaf spots , reddening leaf petioles & leaf stems slowly progressing in the worst affected plants to red leaf veins & lastly droplets of condensation on the leaves (plants were sweating) Anyways after I fixed the VPD issues , I added a makeshift dome for humidity retention of the Cereal Milk & 3 days later which is today she has added 2 new nodes almost catching up to where she would be with normal healthy unstunted growth at day #9. She was transplanted from her starter pot last night into a 2 gallon with plenty of dry amendments mixed in for a 6-8 week veg. Iโ€™m debating on scrogging this plant or LST & Supercropping the SHIT out of this plant . Iโ€™ve never scrogged before and am not welcoming any new learning curves at the moment which is my main reason not to even though I think it may be the biggest help to filling this tent & โ€œsupportingโ€ the enormous load of bud sites I am planning to grow . I worry about to inconvenience of defoliating & training branches down without being able to get around the outside of my tent given its location in a corner . If I had anticipated wanting to grow a single 2lb + plant when determining my grow location I wouldโ€™ve placed it more โ€ openly โ€œ. If I can think up a work around to canopy maintenance so that I can keep it clean & by the books Iโ€™ll quit complaining & try it . Otherwise sheโ€™ll be LSTโ€™d & Supercropped OR topped and mainlined . Day 14 END OF WEEK #2 Iโ€™ve added remote temperature & humidity monitoring/controller. Now I can monitor the dips & swings while making adjustments to better dial things in . (Just trying it on for size here , for full disclosure I am not in love with it & if I can not modify what it is that is bothering my existence I WILL be returning this unit AND purchasing another brand with the capabilities I am looking for the connectivity for this specific unit I am trying was a BIG deciding factor for me but all in all is not enough to make me settle on this one if I can potentially have it all. . Odds are highly leaning towards returning this unit .) Finally raised the pot to level with the older girls in flower currently . I was wrong when I reported in setup that she was โ€œ30 inches โ€œ from the light . She in fact was 35 inchesโ€ผ๏ธaway so I raised her to be 26 inches from the light by placing a 1 gallon bucket beneath her . I WILL NOT LET THE MID-END OF FLOWER & DRYING to cause my run to get derailed

06/03/19 - unfortunately this was my own fault for being gullible with a mix of just not thinking, but I got a cal deficiency on my OG which was fitting seeing as everything was going well, but I think I have resolved the problem as Iโ€™m not see the new growth being affected but I do think it has slowed down in growth abit but Iโ€™m guessing thatโ€™s understandable, Iโ€™m really happy Iโ€™ve turned to mills as I can tell a difference from my previous grows, this slight hiccup was my fault but they were that healthy Iโ€™m almost positive itโ€™s gonna spring right back ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป 09/03/19 - definitely looks like it stopped growing for awhile as the gelatos are a hell of a lot bigger now compare to my OG but I think the problems been solved as their was only a little progression on some of the newer leaves but the newest set of leaves seem unharmed includeding the side branches. 12/03/19 - a lot smaller than the gelatos but never the less Iโ€™ve started the LST/leaf braiding with the OG aswell to make sure the side branches catch up as they were stunted from the cal mag def

La planta de la tierra viene creciendo bastante bien, los trips han disminuido bastante asi que por eso seguiremos combatiendolos con aceite de neem.

She is growing well, after a slow start. Light is 17โ€ and the par is 600ish. I am going to make canister with yeast. Having a problem with low humidity and high humidity at night in the 70% range. Still just watering with cal mag, VJ and B-52 about 50-100 ml every other day. End of week update: the environment is doing better. Moved the light a little closer about 700 par. Watering has been 2-3 days about 75ml. Exciting things to comeโ€ฆ

Hey guys :-) This week she has developed very well. For reasons of time, I topped them again on all the drives that were already high :-) Unfortunately, there is still some time until there is room in the blossom tent. That's why I'll have to train them a little more ๐Ÿ˜‚. Was poured 3 times this week with 1 l each. (nutrients see table above) Since there are still trips in the vegetarian tent, the next few weeks will be treated again with nematodes and neem oil :-( . Otherwise everything was cleaned. Have fun with the update and stay healthy ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ You can buy this Nutrients at : https://greenbuzzliquids.com/en/shop/ With the discount code: Made_in_Germany you get a discount of 15% on all products from an order value of 100 euros. ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ You can buy this strain at : https://www.thegratefulseeds.com/shop/feminized-seeds/limited-edition/blue-javaz/ Water ๐Ÿ’ง ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿ’ง Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.
