🍰 Lava Cake – Final Harvest & Smoke Report GrowDiaries | Week 8 (Harvest & Cure) After months of dedication, lessons, and love, our Lava Cake journey comes to a close — and what an ending it is. Both phenotypes reached maturity beautifully, wrapped in dense, resin-coated buds that carry the unmistakable aroma of sweetness and spice. 🌱 From Seed to Harvest — A Journey in Full Bloom Our Lava Cake journey began from seed with two unique phenotypes, both full of potential and personality. Week after week, through careful nutrition, TrolMaster monitoring, and endless observation, we watched them evolve. From the early stages of vegetative vigor, through the lush canopy of mid-flower, and even through the challenges of heat and bud rot, these girls showed true resilience. Each setback taught something — about balance, airflow, humility, and the living rhythm of nature. Both plants were ultimately harvested with respect and gratitude. ⸻ ✂️ Harvest & Trimming After about two weeks of slow drying at 60°F / 60% RH, the branches began to snap — a sure sign the moisture was just right. Each plant was trimmed by hand, carefully and patiently, letting every calyx, pistil, and trichome tell its own story. The buds were dense, sticky, and heavily frosted — a trimmer’s delight. Finger hash collected along the way was pure gold, rich in aroma and bursting with terpenes. Each snip of the scissors felt like sculpting something sacred. Both plants were dried whole, allowing for slower moisture migration and a smoother final cure. ⸻ 🌿 On Trichomes and Harvest Timing We chose to harvest when most trichomes were cloudy, with only a few still clear and very few amber. This moment — just before full amber maturity — is where potency meets flavor at its peak. Why cloudy trichomes? Because that’s when cannabinoids like THC and terpenes are at their maximum activity. Too early, and you lose potency; too late, and THC starts converting into CBN, giving a heavier, sleepier effect. Cloudy trichomes deliver a balanced high — euphoric yet grounding — capturing the essence of the strain in its full potential. ⸻ 🌸 Aroma, Taste & Effects The Lava Cake lives up to her name and lineage. Her rich terpene profile brings waves of sweet baked goods, layered with berry and grape undertones inherited from her Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies x Grape Pie heritage. When smoked, she’s smooth, creamy, and sweet, leaving a lingering flavor on the palate that feels like dessert for the senses. The effects are deeply relaxing, melting away tension and replacing it with calm contentment. This isn’t a beginner’s strain — her high is potent, steady, and full-bodied. A few tokes are enough to drift into a deeply peaceful, happy state. Perfect for evenings, rest days, or moments when the world needs to slow down. ⸻ 🌬️ Curing — Grove Bags & UV Glass Jars After trimming, buds were stored in Grove Bags, which naturally maintain humidity between 55–62%, eliminating the need for daily “burping.” These innovative curing bags use a one-way humidity membrane, preserving terpenes and color while preventing mold. Alongside them, we used black UV-resistant glass jars — perfect for long-term storage, protecting cannabinoids from light degradation and keeping aromas fresh. Together, these methods allowed the buds to cure into perfection — firm, aromatic, and bursting with flavor. ⸻ 🔥 Resin, Hash & Full Spectrum Bar All trim from the grow — not just from Lava Cake — was collected to make a full-spectrum bar using simple, natural heat extraction with hot water in a glass bottle. The result was a potent, sticky, terpene-rich concentrate that perfectly captures the soul of the garden. ⸻ ⚖️ Final Yields • Pheno #1: 144g dry • Pheno #2: 99g dry Both phenotypes displayed amazing bud density and structure. In fact, their sheer weight caused a few branches to snap under their own mass — another reason that influenced our harvest timing. These were heavy girls, through and through. 🌿💪 ⸻ 🙏 Gratitude & Reflections To everyone who followed along — thank you. To Zamnesia, for the genetics and inspiration, thank you. To the GrowDiaries community, the supporters, the doubters, and everyone in between — thank you for being part of this experience. And above all, thanks to God, because without Him, none of this beauty — not even the smallest seed — would exist. Growing Lava Cake wasn’t just about cultivation; it was about connection, learning, and the sacred patience of nature. ⸻ 🌀 Closing Thoughts From seed to smoke, these Lava Cakes have been a story of flavor, resilience, and soul. Despite challenges like heat and bud rot, the final result was spectacular: frosty, aromatic, powerful flowers that embody everything beautiful about this craft. As we light the first cured joint, we celebrate not just the harvest, but the journey itself. Until the next grow — stay curious, stay kind, and keep growing. 🌱💚 Thank you to everyone who followed this run — your support, questions, and shared passion have been part of what made this project so rewarding. The full smoke review will follow this harvest report and will be presented in 4K on YouTube, where we’ll document the aroma, flavor, burn, and overall experience with both phenotypes and the pressed hash. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

31.5. die Woche geht zu Ende. Ein paar Tage noch dann heißt es wieder einmal alles sauber machen. Die Vcure hat sich eingependelt und hält die Werte für die Trocknung für die RJ#1 ideal. 30.5. die Radical Juice #2 und die Kmintz sollten auch im Laufe der nächsten Woche erntereif sein. Vermutlich die RJ#2 ein paar Tage vor der Kmnitz. 29.5. die Radical Juice #1 würde am Abend geerntet und in ca. 15cm Stücke zerlegt und in die Vcure gehängt. Hier bleibt sie erstmal bis zur Ernte der nächsten, dann wird ein Teil davon im Zelt zu Ende getrocknet damit die Headbuds der anderen beiden Damen noch dazu passen. 28.5. BT 60 die RJ#1 wird morgen geerntet🤩 25.5. die nächste Woche beginnt for die radical juice #1 wird es die letzte sein. Freitag/Samstag ist sie dran. Die anderen brauchen noch ein paar Tage langer.💛✌️

Transplanted without a hitch into final bags. The big 2 plants are in 7 gallon bags and the small 2 are in 5 gallon. Everything should just fit. I used coco coir from canna with the rest of my perlite as my additional soil. They took about 6 gallons of water between the four of them. I added a full nutrient solution, same as. I've been using for weeks. I watered and fed them a day after transplanting as they were looking really dry and droopy and I was a day later than expected due to delays getting new bags. By the end of the day they had perked up, but the following day I noticed a bunch of leaf damage on the big two plants. I cut the power back to 50% and raised the light by a few inches. I'm noticing a claw shape happening at the tips so maybe a nitrogen issue?

The plant continues to progress steadily and looks very healthy overall. Buds are stacking nicely across the canopy, with clear increases in density compared to last week. The beautiful pink coloration is spreading further down the plant and becoming more pronounced. Aroma is intensifying day by day, now strongly reminiscent of sweet apricot jam and very pungent.

Day 15 plants are doing great 👍 still having problems with fouth seed second seed didn't germinate so here I go with number 3 seed for Yumboldt auto... Day 17 diffently great white is growing fast The Acapulco gold is still small really slow growth and Northern lights is average growth. filled resivors with ro water no nutrients yet.... Day 18 plants doing great took a Blueberry auto seed and germination has started. This is for the fourth plant for this room..none of the Yumboldt auto seeds germinated. All three of them Duds. Day 19 plants seem to be growing a little faster filled resivors with plane ro. Day 20 plants are starting to grow and are looking fine. Day 21 three weeks in and I'm thinking about adding nutrients to resivor by day 25 because great white shark is looking like roots maybe already down in resivor this thing is growing faster then the others.

Day 66 : These lady is exploding day each day. From each cola started new growth. And all this pistils are still white, any brown pistils. So imagine the crystals, all cloudy.!!! She likes food and its obvious. I found a spider in the room but let her become part of the ecosystem. These spiders eats all king of predators like white flies, tetranychus, thripe etc. If you are in flower stage and you have bugs , you cant spray nothing, because of moisture. You can add ladybugs (Coccinella) and they will destroy all the insects. Edit (Day 70) : Small buds explode from buds. I watered with juice on this lady because her trichomes are still developing. If you notice some stems inflect , because of the weight of buds. Gains are noticeable when i lift the pot. 2 weeks for sure for BC.

Day 78 from seed This week was a big learning curve as may have dodged a bullet and improved yield . Finally changed res after 3-4 weeks thinking I could get through to harvest I was wrong ppm was spiking to 2200 after multiple water top ups Figured plant wasn’t up taking nutes and had some sort of lockout , ph dropping aswell 5.5 ish Res was salty all over , was way over due , note to self add nutes gradually to reach desired ppm, I gave her what little nutes I had left ( could have more ) Settled around 1000 , seemed to uptake them in two days to settle around 750 , ph at recommended 6.3 , buds changed within a day ! Had to tie her up as she was leaning badly after res change, may invest in a pump to make things easier. Look to be ripening , putting on weight ; pistils browning :)

The photoperiodic Blue Dream gave us this magnificent main cola which is the most exciting visual part but guys, you should smell what this beauty has. A real marvel I am very happy with her. Also here excellent resin and resistance to the first heat. ** Remember that we have two plants per strain one left to grow straight and one worked with the techniques. Description // This plant was simply left to grow straight, free and beautiful and the result was really excellent. The scent is its hidden strength, great fragrance in the room and soon in the jars. It did not give us particular problems and was very fast to flower. Trichomes and maturation // We did a thorough microscopic analysis 10x (and 10x x 1.6) and noticed a good percentage of milky/lumpy trichomes; The percentage of amber trichomes was also excellent and still a bit transparent, but that's fine for us as we're not crazy about THC oxidation and hyper indica effects around here. Fertilizers and soil // We used the Plagron organic fertilizer range, all the recommended additives and Pro Mix soil, both unfertilized and organic. Calculate the dosage according to your needs on the website ------ https://plagron.com/ The nutrients are available in convenient packs on the Zamnesia website --------- https://www.zamnesia.io/en/11457-plagron-easy-pack-natural.html Try this strain, it's more than promising ---- // https://www.zamnesia.io/en/3271-zamnesia-seeds-blue-dream-feminized.html Zamnesia Short Description // Exceptionally tasty and potent, Blue Dream by Zamnesia Seeds is a distinctive and sophisticated hybrid. A blend of Haze and Blueberry strains, it manages to bring out the best of both worlds. Its short flowering time of just 9 weeks far surpasses that of other Haze strains! From the moment you take your first toke of Blue Dream your taste buds will be intoxicated by a delicious blend of berry, citrus and sweet flavours. As for the experience, Blue Dream induces an incredible uplifting and euphoric high. But be careful, if you consume large quantities you will quickly be swept away to dreamland. This overwhelming potency not only makes Blue Dream particularly attractive to recreational users, but also to medical marijuana users. Those suffering from anxiety, stress, insomnia, depression, pain and lack of appetite will find this plant particularly effective in reducing symptoms. The whole world of growing and more is at Zamnesia, just take a look at the site and you'll find "the best that nature has to offer" in various shapes and colors. The new strains are fantastic and the old ones are no exception... -- // www.zamnesia.com

Using a 50/50 mix of Purple Cow IndiCanja living soil and Fox Farms Ocean Forest, just ph'd water using lemon juice to bring down my tapwater and mammoth P microbes. I brew teas with Nature's living soil auto flower line. Seeds in the soil 4/17...I plant directly into the soil without presoaking or letting a taproot grow, I've had 100% success rate so far so I'll keep doing it I think
