​Verehrte Chronisten des grünen Treibens im Hause Borberad! Diesmal wagen wir uns an einen wahren Sprinter der feminisierten Cannabissorten: Cannabis indica L. var. Candy Cream Go Fast aus den geschätzten Händen der Genetiker von Kannabia Seeds. ​Bereiten euch auf eine weitere tiefgreifende und süße Untersuchung des pflanzlichen Wachstums vor. Unsere bewährte Methodik der fast täglichen Bilddokumentation und sporadischen Videoanalysen wird auch bei diesem Exemplar, wohlgebettet in unserer standardisierten Erdmischung zum Einsatz kommen. Wir werden Zeuge der Entwicklung einer Pflanze, deren Name bereits ein außergewöhnliches Aroma und damit ihre – sagen wir mal – 'süße Verführungskraft' verspricht. Verfolget mit uns, wie sich diese 'Zuckercreme' im Rekordtempo entfaltet und welche duftenden Herausforderungen uns Borberads bei ihrer Aufzucht erwarten. ​Detaillierte Sortenbeschreibung: Kannabia Seeds Candy Cream Go Fast ​Genetik: Candy Cream Go Fast ist das beeindruckende Resultat einer gezielten Kreuzung von Indica Cream und Auto Indica Cream. Diese zu 60 % indicadominante Melange besticht durch eine drastisch verkürzte Blütezeit (Fast-Version), ohne dabei auf die bewährten Charakteristika ihrer Cream-Familie zu verzichten. ​Größe: Im Innenbereich erwarten wir für die Candy Cream eine kompakte Wuchshöhe von etwa 80 bis 100 Zentimetern. Dies macht sie zu einer ausgezeichneten und leicht zu bändigenden Wahl für unsere Zeltlandschaften. ​Farbe: Die Farbpalette ist von satten Grüntönen dominiert, an denen sich im fortgeschrittenen Stadium äußerst dichte und harzige Blüten bilden. Ein wahrer Augenschmaus, der im Licht der LEDs oft so wirkt, als wäre er großzügig mit Puderzucker bestäubt. ​Geschmack: Der Name deutet es bereits an: Eine süße Symphonie! Das Geschmacksprofil ist eine cremige Mischung, die stark an Vanille und Karamell erinnert, sanft abgerundet mit fruchtigen Anklängen und feinen, erdigen Untertönen. Ein geradezu buttriges Geschmackserlebnis. ​Eigenarten: Diese Sorte ist ein wahrer Sprinter mit einer rasanten Blütezeit von lediglich 46 bis 49 Tagen. Mit einem THC-Gehalt von rund 20 % liefert sie ein sanftes, beruhigendes Body-High. Ihre hohe Resistenz gegenüber Feuchtigkeit und Schädlingen macht sie zu einer überaus robusten Kandidatin für unsere Aufzeichnungen. ​Rechtlicher Hinweis: "Abschließend sei wie immer angemerkt, dass dieses Growtagebuch die dokumentarische Begleitung eines privaten und legalen Anbauvorhabens im Rahmen der jeweils gültigen Gesetze darstellt. Wir bei Borberad distanzieren uns ausdrücklich von jeglichen illegalen Aktivitäten und betonen die Wichtigkeit der Einhaltung der lokalen Rechtsvorschriften bezüglich des Anbaus von Cannabis." ​Woche 0: Die Keimungsphase ​Das Keimen des VIP-Samens hat im Mars Hydro Anzuchtzelt begonnen. Tag 1 Entgegen unserer gewohnten Vorgehensweise nutzen wir kein Tauchbad mit 1% H202 zum Quellen der Samen sondern lassen den Samen vollständig im von Kannabia freundlicherweise zur Verfügung gestellten Sproutly Keimen. Tag 2 Nach 36h wurden der Sproutly das erste Mal geöffnet und zeigte gekeimte Samen mit ca 5mm langer, weißer und gesunder Wurzel. Also rein in die Vorbereiteten und zuvor temperierten Anzuchttöpfe, anstelle der in letzter Zeit üblichen Easyplugs. Tag3 Warten Tag 4 91 Stunden nach dem Start des Quellen waren die kleinen Keimlinge dann schon ohne Helmchen ins Licht gewachsen. Tag5. Die Keimblätter sind entfaltet und die ersten echten Blattpaare öffnen sich. Tag 6 Sie macht einen soliden Eindruck. Tag 7 ... und lässt sich etwas Zeit. ​Düngung & Messwerte: kein zusätzlicher Dünger notwendig. Fokus auf stabilen VPD von 0,8 kPa.

PSA!! PSA!! PSA!! WATCH those ZeroWater pitchers... when the filter goes, it goes FAST. Leaves you with a ton of undesirables, and AN EXTREMELY ACIDIC PH!! Acidity in the body leads to CANCER! will kill your plants fast as fuck too. ======================================================================================================== 2 Girls 1 Cup week 11? We should come to a finish this week... oh the excitement. Can't wait to see WG without her leaves. Going to have to cut each branch and hang individually due to the density of its structure. Got this far, don't want to risk moldy weed.. damn I'm gonna get bored while drying/curing not having a plant or diary to occupy the time. Day 77- currently flushing the girls. GC isn't ready for it, but she isn't in charge here. She should have stuck with WG when she extended a helping hand. Since falling behind, WG has thrown up a peace sign to GC as to say "see ya sucker". It's my favorite bud by far on WG. Bitch has got an attitude 🤣. RES sitting at 87ppm @5.9. Yellowing has started.. going to have to check trics more often so I get that sweet spot I'm looking for. ======================================================================================================== Day 78- these girls are starting to stink! Come on WG... ripen up so we can get this over with.. lowered lights power a bit today. RES climbed from 87 to 137. Drained 2gal, added 2gal RO. down to 38ppm. Forgot to mention the ice probe has been unplugged for over a week now. Been putting a 3/4 full 1L frozen bottle in the RES to chill. Rotate out every 12hr with a fresh. At lights on, and 12hr later. Full bottle got Temps too low for my liking. ======================================================================================================== Day 79- tick tock.. tick tock.. come on WG.. she's showing a little fade on her leaves. Seeing more of a calcium difficiency on her fans than fading honestly. Trichomes taking their time ripening as well. I'm SURE this strain ambers up.. taking their time for me though.. dont know how long I feel comfy flushing hydro though.. I did notice a few exploded trichomes up top, which has me thinking I need to go ahead and chop within the next couple days. If I notice any more ruptured anywhere else I haven't poked it with the scope.. I'm hanging the bitch that night. May give her 24hr dark period, since I've tried some other bro-science and it seemed to help. *edit* felt bad starving WG and she's not more amber coated. Gave her a bit of nutrition tonight. GHE aggressive ripen. M-2.8mL/g G-2.8mL/g B-4.5ml/g and 5mL calmag (using RO). Came out high @ 867 so I pulled 2L and dumped 2L RO in. Sitting at 613 @ 5.9. ======================================================================================================== Day 80- well, the 3 days starving the girls kicked their metabolism back in gear. I want more amber before chop chop. They quit eating and were drinking MUCH less signaling the end. Was down to topping off once a day, maybe a liter to a liter and a half. Since feeding yesterday, they've started eating and drinking like they were on week 10 again. Topped off 3.5L in the last 16hrs. TDS dropping with water level, even more when topped off with straight RO. I'm not giving em any more nutes. Last push for some extra weight before the end. ALLOT more frosty today than yesterday as well. ======================================================================================================== Day 81- Started flushing again. Maybe starting their metabolism again will help ripen these trics. If not, they're getting chopped @ day 84. Don't want to let em go too long and regret it. I may have f'd em up feeding again after the 3 days starving. Time will tell ======================================================================================================== Day 83- still waiting... 💤 Going to order some bubble bags. Freezing all GC and trim/larf from WG for some bubble hash. GC is frosty and all white like WG, just tiny popcorn shit everywhere since it's been neglected and abused over and over and over and over 🤣. ======================================================================================================== As always, thanks for stopping by and checking out my current grow. full timelapse added to this week 27-70 (looks better on YT.. https://youtu.be/8JdUkR36Wfc)

day 49 just pure water phed down. it is day 51, morning before lights on, I might chop today. I use a zero water filter pitcher got off walmart. My humidifier is only a sonic wave. If you use regular tap water it will get gunky in a sonic humidifier. If you have a heat humidifier that boils the water the mist should be clean. These are the 2 types of water humidifiers. Researching best water filters this "zero water" also comes with a free ppm meter! yay! Other water pitcher brands; the water still has ppm. So water misted will still have ppm contamination. You can easily used distilled water only, and reverse osmosis. I just fill a 4gal office water jug with the pitcher and fill my humidifier when needed. I do not use a humidifier in my entire grow up to this point when I chop, I need the perfect rh or this whole effort can fail. growing up to this point only requires 20% effort, chopping now for the 2 weeks dry is this 80% of crucial determination, succeed. A lot of tasks are required today for a clean chop. I feel confident, observed my cross seeds with pink paradise and one with a slightly open caylex looks dark enough for successful germination. I figured 8-16 seeds may be created, 3-4 buds were potentially pollinated. Many growers don't understand when creating genetics with female/female there is a slight chance of herm. You lose 50% of your genetic function. Just water last 2 days, no humic no folvic, 1st time entire grow ha! There is a lot of cleaning to do, remove the trees, clean the entire tent and environment with bleach water, hacksaw. I am very proud of my grow. I have sampled 3 of the strains, dr. thunder legit made my lips numb but it could have just been the terps removing my skin cells from the sticky filter, no lie. This is my best grow to date. I did this for you, and to document hype or not under the best conditions I could give my plants, full max potential, although I wish I had more lights, I am not looking for industrial lol, this is how I grow. Learn a lot on youtube and podcasts there is many good content and I may dab into it. You can have a room full of growers and you have 1 seed in your hand, they will all tell you that their way is correct ;) and the best way. Oreo is stinky AF, Bridal is just amazing glad its massive, just not into sativa but the test seemed slight sativa with majority indica, pink untested, dr, thunder just a lip numming plant aha, its very nice, all 4 amazing appeal like advertised, and excited for next run. Either crosses from this or other copycat genetics. I will give you beautiful glamout shots today, the sizes of the plants, My guesstimate bridal 1lb, thunder 1lb, pink, 0.4lb, bridal 0.5, I am ambitious off 640w lm301h, and 4x 20w blurples daisy chained. day 51 4 chopped see you in a few weeks :D

In week 4 the plants are repotted into 15 liter containers. First 2 cm of expanded clay-pebbles come into each pot for better drainage. Then I use light-mix to fill up the pot and add the BIO-TABs fertilizer tablets to the ground (2 per pot). 75 gram Startrex per container mixed into soil, 5 gram Mycotrex per container mixed into soil, 1 gram Bactrex and 5 ml Orgatrex per liter water are added as well (following the recommendations of Bio-Tabs). Each plant is potted in the center of the pot and then watered well. I put them into my HOMEBOX grow-tent and under my SANlight EVO4-120 LEDs. The lamps are at 75 cm distance from the top of the plants and tilted inwards by 11 degree (as recommended by SANlight for this area).

26.12.24: I have noticed light stress on my plants. I had moved the lights further away and increased the light intensity to 70%. Unfortunately that created some issues. Namely severe palour of the leaves. To try and rectify the situation, I've dimmed the lights to about 30%, staying at the same distance, about 30 inches away. I measured the par levels, after I did this. They should a reading of anywhere between 40 and 150, at the canopy of the plants. They are all different sizes. This seems to have improved the colouring on all plants. After this evenings watering, I will monitor recovery and increase lighting intensity again slowly. I am also using the light cycle of 21/3, so the plants have many hours more light to absorb, than for example 12/12 or 18/6. I am pleased with the progress, considering all of my mistakes! 29.12.24: So I finally gave LST a shot, it's probably a bit too late, however I really want to get the most of the triploid pheno, and I went a little crazy and LST'd all plants except 2, as they're too small. I did that late last night, this afternoon I was amazed to see the plants turn their leaves back to the light source. I'm glad I overcame my fear of trying it. I'm very excited to see them adapt and progress! 😁 there are videos above with before and after of my LST process. Thanks for checking out my diary 🍃 ✌️

Cut down on day 110, after 30 hours of darkness.. Added ice blocks to the substrate over the last couple days and got some lovely red and purple notes from it... Found one more spot of mould in a main cola, total loss of 40 grams of wet flower. Not a huge problem seeing as I still have colas the size of my forearm. Half wet trimmed on the large colas to reduce risk of mould, left less dense and smaller nugs with most leaves on to aid a slow dry. Hung in as little light possible in ~19°c at ~55%RH with filtered air from outside and extract system, dehumidifier circulating air in the room. Air refresh rate is ~90 seconds.

21 st day of 12/12. Defoliation. Try smaller containers or longer veg. Plants should be able to drink at least its pots water holding capacity once a day. Will try 5 liters of medium. Somę of them drinking more than 2 liters a day. Much better to overage and remove branches than not enough root mass.

What a difference mainlining makes. I broke a branch with the first mainline, but decided to continue the grow. She's a full 30" shorter than the Durban Poison that I started on the same day. I decided to do LST and she is respectable - and will have several massive cola's. We'll see how she turns out in the end. Monsoon finally hits! Temps have dropped below the 110 mark low 100's! This grow will likely last > 30 weeks. Since GD only supports 30 weeks of diaries, this "week" will actually last two weeks.

Der Tag der Ernte ist offiziell gekommen, und die Blue Lobster von Cipher Genetics präsentiert sich zum krönenden Abschluss in ihrer absoluten Pracht. Die harzdurchtränkten, kompakten Blütencluster verabschieden sich mit einem atemberaubenden Farbspiel aus tiefen Blautönen und dunklem Violett, das unter der dichten, weißen Kristallschicht regelrecht leuchtet. ​Neben der optischen Dominanz ist es vor allem das Terpenprofil, das den Raum komplett einnimmt: Beim finalen Schnitt verströmt die Pflanze den weltbekannten, unverwechselbaren Blue-Lobster-Geruch. Ein intensiv süßes, fast schon künstliches Blaubeeraroma vermischt sich hier perfekt mit einer schweren, gasartigen Diesel-Note. Durch die Genetik der Kreuzung schlägt zudem die Blueberry-Banana-Linie voll durch, was dem Ganzen eine cremige, reife Bananennote und einen dezenten Unterton von spritziger Traube verleiht. Diese extrem klebrige und geruchsintensive Kombination macht sofort klar, warum diese Genetik einen solchen Hype genießt. Die Struktur ist steinhart, die Qualität makellos – ein absolut erfolgreicher Cut, der nun perfekt vorbereitet in die Trocknung geht.

Flipped these ladies 06 Oct 23 (Friday). After watering 09 Oct 23 (Monday) I walked in and the before SOG photos are what it looked like, I put up the new net and tied a few tops down to spread the canopy out. With the new trellis in place I'm going to let theses ladies rip and add another trellis once they outgrow their current one.

🌸 Lava Cake – 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. ⸻ 🔙 Looking Back – The Road Here From seeds sprouting in soft cups → to vigorous veg under Future of Grow and ThinkGrow LEDs → to the careful transplant and expansion in the 8x8 ecosystem, every stage has been about setting a solid foundation. • Feeding: Aptus core line + Plagron boosters • Training: Gentle guiding, letting them branch freely • 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. ⸻ 🍽️ Current Recipe – Staying Steady This week, we keep the same feed — consistency is key as the flowers set. Per L Water: • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml • Aptus Top Booster – 0.5 ml • Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml • Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml • Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml With the Aptus All-in-One Liquid still paused, the soil’s embedded nutrition + pellets are helping balance things out while these bloom boosters do the heavy lifting. ⸻ 🌡️ Room & Rhythm • Temps: ~31–34°C (still awaiting the AC unit for stabilization) • Humidity: ~60%, bringing VPD near 1.9 kPa • Watering: Daily — plants are drinking heavily, irrigated once substrate moisture falls near 19–20% • 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. ⸻ 🌸 Week 3 Flower – What We See • White Hairs: Thick, long, and vibrant, covering the tops like cotton clouds. • Flower Formation: Calyxes stacking, pistils reaching — no signs of hesitation. • Leaf Posture: Still upright, showing photosynthesis and metabolism are strong. • Uniformity: Both plants showing the same pace and morphology, a sign of stable genetics and consistent environment. ⸻ 🔮 Looking Ahead – What to Expect / Not to Expect ✅ Expect: • Rapid stacking in the next 2 weeks — buds will start to swell noticeably. • Aroma development — sweet Lava Cake terpenes may start teasing the air soon. • Nutrient demands rising steadily as flowers form. ❌ Not to expect: • Big trichome coverage just yet — resin production typically comes later. • A slowdown — stretch is nearly over, but flower development is just beginning. ⸻ ✨ 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 — not yet the harvest, but the first real glimpse of what’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. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

ok so everything has gone fantastic , no nutrient burns at all , and have been slowly creeping up the base nutrients , i have stopped the cal mag and now adding house and gardens bud XL at full strength these girls are now in full swing of flower the Cal mag has made absolutely no difference too the yellow colour of this blackberry so I suspect it is just how this strain is as meany diary's on here of the same strain are also on the yellow side , but it's certainly not affecting the speed of the growth of her , i also bought a new ph stick this week , i have found when PHing the feed bucket that its best too have air stones in the bucket , add all nuts and then ph but do not use the feed that day as if you check the next day the ph is off again so i left it 24 hours after i add more ph down , and it seems too make the measurements alot easier and stable , i have bent down the main stems " without damaging them onto my netting too A keep the canopy all the same high so my lighting is covering all plants at the same distance and also it allowed the side stems too reach up too , i also was sponsored another new led light by kingbo this week so have added another 600watt led too the grow , so now have two 600's and one 900watt , and temps are still fine sitting at 24c lights on and 19-20 off , so am pleased with that , I accidentally bend the main stem last week while I was putting them under the netting too try and control the stretch , luckily it did not crack or snap the branch at all and she didn't droop on that branch at all and has healed already , it may or may not be related but as soon as it happened the side branches thickened up too the thickness of the main stem , this plant has over taken the rest in size even being a full week too 15 days younger , it's certainly not ideal but it really does not appear too have slowed down the growth and may well go in my favour , this lady really did stretch out from week 4 into 5 and is showing no sign of slowing down , her side branches are very thick almost as thick as the main stem , her leaf production was minimal and I have only had too remove very few too expose the bud sites , the yellowing seems too be recovering now and most of the plant is green now , Update , Now gone a lush green colour instead of that horrible yellow , and the buds have already started too purple , she has also stepped up a gear with her nutrient intake almost drinking 6 pints since Thursday , She seems too have slowed down on the stretch and has so meany bud site scattered all over her with as the diary name suggests black roses everywhere , and note too any seed banks reading this if there is not a purple stain out there already called black rose now is your chance lol and Iwant a sample pack first kinda like the tester :) Now defoliation , as you can see they really didn't seem too mind at all being stripped and within a couple of days they had all replenished the lost leaves and even this week olive had to pull the odd few off as they have grown out , Method , well all info now is simple , Anything I cannot tuck under something that is blocking a bid site with shade I remove too middle or bottom , Everything else stays , I just stand above the plant and pull off anything covering the sites , it's really as simple as that , I see some strip them until there is nothing left on but a few sugar leaves , but for me didn't like the look of the plants , for me the growing process is just as much fun as the fruits ,

So.. She's now just over 12 weeks old with 8 weeks flower and 4 veg, I did the last feed on Friday just gone, and will now flush for a week+ up until she starts showing me Amber's, I AM NOT CUTTING HER EARLY I know she's a sativa dominant but, there is Indica genes in there somewhere and I would like around 10-20% Amber if possible, it is going to be a precarious balancing act between prime potency, amber and degradation of the plant as its been around for a long time she's going to go over DP timing cycle by about 5 weeks haha, As soon as I see Amber's appearing I am going to give it about 36hrs as normal then whack it in the dark for 24hrs (everyone seems to do it so I will try with this one then do two the next time with the same strain put one in the dark and one not and see if there is any difference, I am thinking that there is now about 1to2 weeks left before harvest (I know I said that last week aha) but what do I know, hmhm So looking forward to seeing what she's like, I have put so much care love and attention into making her the best she could be and not stressing her, and has received very little stress, a bit of burn on the tips of leaves (bout 4 weeks ago appeared overnight, cut down food and it seemed to fix. The issue) and the heat for the last week and a half or so crept up to about 31 ish all the time at night aswell, but I was running about trying to keep her cool and moist, well it seemed to have paid off as there is very very minimal foxtailing on 2 of the bud sites the majority remain prestine, I would really appreciate a few guesses as to harvest weight (dry) I could expect, (I won't hold anyone to there word, I know it's an educated guess, haha), Sorry about the missed weeks and lack of quality pictures, I will endeavour to make up for that with a good final post and roundup 👍👍 Thanks for poking your head in, Please remember to close the door when you leave 😜
