This Diary contains one of Katsu Bluebird's Most Exciting breeding Projects; Grape Ape Cake ! Lineage; Hotcakes (Katsu Bubba X Burnt Toast from Raw Genetics) X Grape Ape Welcome to Week Seven, our last Veg Entry These Girls loved the topping last week.. & didn't really miss a beat as far as growth is concerned, a minor delay but still cracked an inch worth of height gained this week. As most seam to have a very tight growth pattern I honestly think they're going to be monsterous tower's in the coming weeks. with that in mind I gave everyone a good leg shave to increase those chances. Also The Frist trellis is up ! after talking with Katsu about how much he thinks this particular strain may stretch.. i've decided to hang 2 lines of support across these girls. this first being right as we move into FLOWER ! teh second line will go up one the stretch stops..(week3-4 maybe we will see) With that being said, after a slight flush @6.6ph Water, & 24 Hours of darkness happening as I type this entry.. They will receive their first Flower Feeding in the Morning! & the next entry will be our first week of flower ! It is always a blast working from a pack of Reg Seed, let alone an Exciting project like these Katsu beans ! and as we move into flower next week I've taken cuts that I'm hopeful will ensure I have the BEST of the Best Flowers from this run to keep for another run at least.. and maybe even outdoor 2021. Thanks for Reading This far 🙌 If you have a question or a comment leave it down below otherwise, I Hope You Check in Next Week, Stay Safe out there & Happy Gardening Cariboo

Week 13 (Aug/1/2024-Aug/7/2024) DAY85 - Nothing new. Water, check, repeat. Added Kelp Meal for nutrients this week. I am thinking how I will separate the plants this week--they're starting to bunch up together--staggered may be the best option to minimize space in the garden. DAY 89 - Gave one of the girls to my buddy. Helped with the bunching of the plants in a limited space. They're a lot to handle when you harvest alone. Kept the tall one, the short two(LST), the different one in the 45 gallon pot, and the bushy one(LST-ish). By the way: I include germination as part of the day count. So basically day 1 is when I put the seed in water. These seeds all rooted within 48 hours.

No os recomiendo para nada semillas de eurogrow. Este es el 2 cultivo k no sale..ni crece

D36/V32 - 06/05/23 - SCROG net added. Some LST D37/V33 - 07/05/23 - LST on SCROG D38/V34 - 08/05/23 - LST on SCROG D39/V35 - 09/05/23 - LST on SCROG D40/V36 - 10/05/23 - LST on SCROG D41/V37 - 11/05/23 - 👉 Water Change - Pure water for 2 days she's going to bloom D42/V38 - 12/05/23 - 👉 second day of flush

Day 49 the blue amnesia are 44 and 41 inches and the Moby Dick are 39 and 33 inch tall the scrog net is at 29 inches tall from the base of the planters( meaning from the soil measuring upwards). the two plants that were shorter are starting to stretch very fast when the other two plants are just puffing there buds fatter every day and not so much stretching anymore. I thought that the other two that were not stretching as fast as their counterparts we're going to be shorter in size but seems to me they were just maturing at A different speed. also the Moby Dick smells very sweet very nice. thank you for reading and I will continue updating have a happy grow. Day 54 it looks like the plans have been struggling a lot with excessive nutrient inside the pot even after Flushing they're showing lots of ( 1000+ to 2300+)PPM per plant so i decided to buy General Hydroponics flushing product for the next watering cycle to clean them out . Unfortunately it takes some time for somebody to learn how to use properly nutrients and to read signs on the plant because of this it seems that one of the movie dick will be getting much less flower than the other plant because nutrient lockout for excessive nutrients that I didn't notice early on for lack of experience D2 blue anessia are pretty much equally growing despite all of them showing signs of nutrient burn they have to suffer in order for me to learn looks like they stop stretching as well and they're focusing only in become fatter what an incredibly resilient plants. Despite all this they are on the road to recovery and seems to be doing well I will continue updating thank you for reading and have a happy grow.

Bueno, le salió la radícula en las primeras 24h, pero quise esperar a que se desarrollara más antes de transpartarla al sustrato, tras pasar más de 48h me quedé sorprendido que siguiera (aparentemente) igual, la pase a la tierra(💦mojada en el centro con 100ml del agua que utilicé para germinarla), se me hizo eterno esperar a que sacara la cabeza, tremenda alegría al 4 día ❤️🙌🌱, al ver el sustrato relativamente seco volví a mojar💦(esta vez con la mitad, 50ml aprox.). Decidí comer hummus (como ella jijiji) y ponerle el plástico de invernadero con la idea de manter la humedad alta💦💦💦

This week seems to be bulk week. Under the microscope it look like the Amber trichomes would be here. But not yet. I'm not fussed😎.. More weight is a good thing. Flawless finish is going to be used for the 1st time

At last I started to drink serious amounts of water, now I’ll be shooting I drank almost all the fan leaves from the main calls Has shown sexual signs

160 days of life harvested on day 63 of flower. I don’t have photos of her vegging but she started off great. About two weeks in, she started having some major issues. Her leaves started atrophying, curling up at the borders, growing 3 finger leaves, all new growth was deformed and twisted and growth in general almost stopped completely, to what I suspect was from broad mites. These fuckers are nasty! I dm’d my local grow shop and tried out some Neem Oil. I diluted it in water like they recommended and sprayed that baby every day for one week, then every other day the following week, then down to once a week. I sprayed her leaves stem and surface of the soil. I also cleaned the entire grow space with some bleach solution. Doing this allowed her to really bounce back, growth started to take off again! So I vegged for a few more weeks and trained her as much as I could to keep her uniform but short, she responded well to this. During flower, she was very happy. I had two main issues during this time, one was being too hot in Nitrogen and a week of very hot temperatures which burned her a slight bit, although she didn’t seem to mind much. I also could’ve continued a once a week spray of Neem oil because I think they might’ve started to come back on the lower and younger leaves that weren’t getting much light. Overall it was a dope grow and hope to do better on the next one!

Today I moved two plants to their final pot (3.5 gal). Each of the plants has 2 nicely formed nodes. The root structure looked very strong. They were started in Pro-Mix HP and transplanted into the same medium. I just sprayed PH balanced water on the top of the soil to help them acclimate to the new pot. I still have 2 plants that have stopped growing so I am going to leave them in the seedling chamber till they get a little farther along.

Excellent strain from Gnostic ((Forum GSC x Black Raspberry Trainwreck) x Gorilla Wreck) Gorgeous color on both of these - more so shined thru on the pheno 2. Pheno 1 leaned more sativa as far as stretch and airyness of bud, structure of bud. Yielded 70 grams dry Pheno 2 had insanely tight buds, more trich density.. terps a bit stronger on this one too. Raspberry shining thru

07/10/20253 19:00 15.6°C 54%RH Another week with loads of rain passed,this time was so heavy that i waited two days of sun to come back and even if so i found the pots pretty full of water These days were so cold with nights under 10°C but the plants looks good so It's ok Forecast says next week will be fully sunny with no rain, temperature will raise to 24/25 °C during days which is aligned to my place in this period #1 Apricot auto 76 days from seed Last video right before harvest #2 gorilla z auto 102 days from seed Harvest for these branches too,i will update with smoke report and the final weight Smell Is super piney and pungent nothing about the z terps i smelled during the first stage of flowering,sadly vanished #3 Coco fresh 68 days from seed This plant won't stop surprising me,in a week the bud development was enormous with a nice coat of resin Even if this one started flowering later Is now officially outstanding the Coco Milk The smell Is unbelievable a 50/50 ratio of gassy and creamy flavour with a tropical candy hint like an original runtz,i can't wait to see how this comes out With these cold days leaves are fading to the blue/purple side What is surprising me the most Is how the flowers looks,full of pistils,full of trichomes,perfect calix/leaf ratio and dense medium/small size exactly what i'm looking for #4 Coco Milk 80 days from seed Flowers are now bulking a lot but the heavy defoliation and lollipopping seems to have pretty damaged this plant The smell Is so strong and noticeable far from the spot,flavour il like a gassy milk somehow fresh like a coconut and buttery like cookie dough I don't know honestly how many days i have to wait until harvest but this is definitively going to chop before Coco fresh #5 Just some hash i'm smoking right now ,always by anonymouz farm ,this one Is 90u which Is cheaper than a static but pretty enjoyable #6 sample joint of apricot auto i'm smoking right now,as you can see this one has an impressive amount of trichomes ,flavour Is the best out of the three autoflower and potency Is here,lineage says it'a heavy indica but i feel creative and uplifted with a little sedative side after an hour Probably this week i will come back another time as will be sunny,next week end i will update with the dry weight of apricot and gorilla z,buds are now drying at 19/17 °C and 53/52% RH which Is pretty near the perfection and will take 8/9 days minimum

The rain is beating her a lot a worms I will have with her after she dries out. I truly need my greenhouse.

🍰 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.

The time has come, here we are into the first couple of days of flowering, slightly upset because I can’t look at them during the day and their light cycle runs at night but I have to get used to, I used to spend hours staring at them. My Gf told me to get for a second into the feeling of the plants and imagine this human look at me for hours 🤣🤣 I have to admit that would be slightly creepy and they don’t know yet that I’ll chop them down and smoke ☠️ Enjoy fellow growers ☮️✌️🏼😎

It was my first grow and I really screwed it up a lot, but it resisted all my beginner mistakes, pests, stress, being without irrigation, irrigation without measuring PH, revegetation, etc. I love her, really, in love with this strain. It is a genetics with a very relaxing effect, recommended for those who cannot sleep at night. shoutout for trimix, very good prices for begginers> https://www.trimix-pro.com/
