On June 9 I decided finally to transplant her to the last pot of 30l. She deserved it a few days ago, but i wanted to extend the time on the other pot because i can put it on the roof to catch more sun hours. On June 11 I made a hard defoliation and i will let her recover for maybe a month to see if she get the shape that i want.

Day 8 - moved into DWC a. DWC is ready to go, with 400ppm of nutrients b. the growth we are seeing is very nice c. am still watering around the rocks a few times a day to promote root growth Day 9 - all is well a. plant is noticeably growing b. PH is sitting at 6.2, and not fluctuating - using dechlorinated water source Day 10 - she is growing a. nothing new to report b. utilizing humidity dome with small space for DWC to breathe, the humidity in my barn is a bit too low Day 11 - growth a. new leaves are forming b. one root has made it outside the basket Day 12 - roots in the pool a. we have a root in the pool! b. there will be many more to follow, the water level is just at the base of the basket Day 13 - you can depend on FastBuds a. just like clockwork, at 2 weeks there are 10+ roots reaching into the nutrient pool, FastBuds seeds ALWAYS germinate faster Day 14 - explosive growth a. roots are about 5cm into the pool, she is taking off b. love the shape of these initial leaves, the green hue is wonderful

WEEK 8 🌻 Seeing really good bud development again over the last week. Both strains are showing a majority of cloudy trichomes with some amber ones starting to appear so I decided to give them there final feed at start of the week and then their first flush 6 days later using only ph’d water and some cannazym. Defoliating and using sticks again to get as much light to the lower buds as possible. Lights out for 48 hours hopefully some stage next week. 🤞🏻☺️✌️

🌿 Week 3 – Transplant Week – Lava Cake (Zamnesia Seeds) 🍰 Grower: Dog Doctor Pheno Selection: Lava Cake #1 & #2 Pots: 11L Amnesia Fabric Pots Light: Future Off – Black Series 600 Environment: Dual air systems (TrolMaster + Spider Farmer) Feeding: Hand-watering (for now) Monitoring: TrolMaster ecosystem (in progress) ⸻ 🌱 Transplant Time – Rooted, Ready, and Rising This week marked a major milestone: our two selected phenos, Lava Cake #1 and #2, were officially transplanted into 11-liter Amnesia fabric pots. The girls are thriving, roots are pristine white and full of life, and the energy in the tent is buzzing with potential. We celebrated the moment properly—with photos in the studio, of course. They looked so beautiful, they deserved the spotlight. 📸 We’ll try this again next week, before they grow too big to carry! ⸻ Why Fabric Pots? We chose Amnesia fabric pots for their root-focused benefits: • Air-pruning the roots naturally, preventing circling and encouraging a healthy root ball • Increased oxygen to the root zone, supporting microbial activity and faster nutrient uptake • Better drainage, reducing the risk of overwatering • Durability & sustainability—washable and reusable Fabric pots turn the container into a living zone that breathes with the plant. And now, these queens have the space they need to express themselves fully. ⸻ 🌿 Soil Mix & Nutrient Support We prepared a rich, bio-balanced super soil transplant mix, boosted with Aptus Holland amendments: 🔄 Transplant Mix: • Super soil base • Aptus Mycor-Mix – inoculates roots with beneficial mycorrhizae • Aptus Micro-Mix – promotes microbial diversity and root health • Aptus Substrate Buffer Powder – stabilizes pH and nutrient flow 💧 Feed Mix (per liter): • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml (stress support & nutrient flow) • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml (structure & balance) • Aptus All-in-One Liquid – 1 ml (base nutrition) • Aptus Start Booster – 2 ml (root & shoot stimulation) 💦 Water Stats: • pH: 5.83 • EC: 1.01 • Water Temp: 18.5°C We continue to bottom-water—placing the solution in trays and letting the girls draw it in themselves. This promotes downward root expansion and avoids oversaturation at the crown. ⸻ 🌀 Airflow & Environmental Control With multiple strains in one tent, proper airflow and environmental balance are essential. • 2x 6-inch Extractors (one TrolMaster Aerofan, one Spider Farmer) • 1x 6-inch Intake Fan • All fans are filtered with carbon filters to purify air and manage odor, even early on. Prevention is key. The Aerofan is controlled by the TrolMaster system, giving real-time response to temp and humidity. The Spider Farmer fan is managed by a GGS controller, running parallel automation. • Room Temp: 27°C • Humidity: 57.4% • CO₂: 632 ppm • Light: Full-spectrum from the Black Series 600—compact, clean, and consistent. This environment isn’t just “good”—it’s being crafted as a living ecosystem. One that will evolve into semi-automation, allowing us to trust and fine-tune from the TrolMaster app. ⸻ 🔍 What This Week Is (and Isn’t) What it is: • A foundational week: transplant, root expansion, environmental balance • A chance to observe and support the transition without stress • A moment to shift from “starter energy” to serious vegetative growth What it isn’t: • A week for heavy training—we’re letting them root down before any top work • A time to overwater—bottom-feeding keeps everything stable • A race—slow roots = strong fruits later on ⸻ 💬 Final Words Our Lava Cakes are happy, lush, and ready to grow into queens. With their roots now in rich, living soil, and the tent gradually evolving into a precision-controlled jungle, we’re laying the groundwork for a clean, healthy, and joyful flowering run ahead. More studio photos soon. More lessons too. This isn’t just a grow, it’s a journey of discovery, shared with love.

49 days!!!! The girl looks great, she is healthy and happy, although it was quite a rainy week, she ignores all this and continues to grow calmly:) It's true that I already wanted the beginning of flowering :D I used LST on the girl this week so that she wouldn't be too visible to the neighbors :) although it is legal in my country, I still try not to disturb the surrounding neighbors:) good luck to everyone;).

Estoy muy contento de haber elegido esta depa, tuve un pequeño percance con la alimentación ya que no asimila tantos fertilizantes pero lo pide corregir a tiempo. Me ha encantado los colores en sus últimas semanas de floración, sus flores tienen un potente olor y sabor.. estoy muy contento con el resultado, no me pensaría en tenerla otra vez.

Critical Cure is still happy and putting out good growth. Fertilized with a ring of the Coast of Maine around the base and watered it in with a little lime water. Bugs are getting hungry so the plants got some neem oil spray. Heat wave going through right now. Please forgive my slurring in the video, it's been a long week and my brain is addled😜
