Ehi ragazzi scusate il ritardo! Qua sta andando tutto più che bene! Ho spostato la ragazza gelosa insieme alla sorella che è già matura e probabilemnte farò l ultima settimana di sviluppo per questa, ma penso che sarà l ultima settimana, ormai è più he matura, cime dense come roccie e giganti come macigni! Sta prendendo un bel colore viola intenso, gli odori sono di frutti tropicali molto agrumati! Un profilo terpenico davvero spettacolare per quello che posso odorare senza averla ancora provata! Complimenti a zamnesia che sta partacmente raggiungendo come qualità le migliori case di semi! Spero vi piaccia come si è sviluppata la bimba, di sicuro non vincerò mai il contest, ma non si sa mai, sperare è sempre una bella cosa per tutti avere l oppurtunita di dimostrare le proprie qualità con prodotti professionali come quelli di plagron! Ma tutto questo vi ricordo che è stato possible solo grazie alla collaborazione con Mars hydro, che mi sta fornendo le attrezzature necessarie per avere un prodotto di qualità così eccellente, in un paese repressivo nei confronti della cannabis come quello in cui mi trovo io.. Free weed for everyone! Buon 420 a tutti voi! 💪😸💜💗🌱🌿🌲🧑‍🌾🤞

I started germination of 1 Strawberry lemonade bean on 29/12/2020. I pre moistened my rockwool cubes with ph balanced water to 6.4. Made sure the plug was just damp and not soaked. Using a small wooden dowel I increased the size of the plugs pre made hole. Than I sowed my bean into the hole. Ripped off a small piece of rockwool and mulched it up. Lightly filled the hole in with the mulched rockwool. Than stuck the plug into a misted humidity dome, to complete germination. Shouldn't take anymore than 4-5 days to see a sprout. Once I see some cotlydon leaves bursting to the surface. I will get the plug planted into some 1 gallon pots. Plus get this lady situated into her home. Cant wait! Some background information on my experience with Strawberry lemonade. Ive only grown this variety out once. In a 1 gallon SOG grow where she faired ok. I could tell she really wanted to explode and branch out. But a restricted root mass just would not allow for it. She had some of the sweetest tasting flowers that came with a strong potent kick. Really looking forward to giving her a larger container and see what she can do when shes let loose.

Going good still..... backed off nute amount...... getting some foxtails due to light proximity.....starting to use less water.... trichs are about 25% amber.....

Ho preso oidio presto spruzzo la cura

Plant Stretch ... Next day Pic o f plant

D29. EC 2.9, PPFD 750+, adjusted some branches to have more equal height. Next time I should use trellis. Noticed plants are drinking more. Pots feel pretty light at lights on. D30. Plants are happy. Auto watering has been set up but I’m still hand watering 🤔... waiting for the buds to swell. D31. EC 3.0. Starting to smell sweet and citrus. D32. EC 3.2 D33. EC 3.3 plants are responding well. Daytime temps at 78 degrees RH 55%. Nighttime temp at 73 degrees RH 55%. D35. Some pistils are turning orange. EC 3.3.

This week was absolutely torturous had an accident in which one of my plants was damaged fortunately I do not believe that all is lost I will just have to hold her back on sending her into flour with the rest until she is completely healthy I have sent one into flower a bit early just to see if I could and seems to be working swimmingly

We got the grow tent setup this week. Pretty impressed with the quality. At this point the 2nd plant had died and it was down to just the 2.I was out and about at Canadian tire and decided to check there plant foods. I found some future harvest easy grow +. I decided to buy it so I had some food before I managed to get out to a local store I was recommended to. I gave them the aggressive feeding of 1tbsp per gallon. I gave about 3L between the 2 plants. The next couple of days were amazing. They had grown more in 2-3 days then they had there entire life! I had the dimmer at 50% and figured that was fine for now. It was about 18 inches away. At this point I started realizing I was having a bit of humidity problems so I ordered a humidifier and that’s another week away. I got the humidity up to 45 after that picture and it has been between 43-45 since.

Week 6 Flower – A Hard Lesson: Bud Rot Quick Recap – From Seed to Here This Lava Cake run started beautifully: • Germination was smooth and fast using the Cannakan with Aptus Regulator and Start Booster. • Veg went strong, with both phenos thriving under the Black Series LED and later joined by ThinkGrow and Lumatek support. • Transplants into 11L fabric pots gave them space to expand, roots looked stunning. • Early flower (weeks 1–4) brought explosive growth, thick white hairs, and dense colas forming under carefully tuned nutrition — Aptus base inputs with Plagron complements. But the same density that made these flowers shine also made them vulnerable. High humidity swings and airflow inconsistencies created the perfect conditions for bud rot (Botrytis cinerea) to sneak in. What Happened This Week Despite our best efforts, phenotype two (Lava Cake #2) showed visible signs of bud rot. To protect the garden, she was harvested early. Infected material was thrown straight into the trash (not compost — spores spread too easily), and the healthy parts are now drying in a separate, controlled space. Phenotype one (Lava Cake #1) remains in the tent. She has minor spots, but overall is swelling and pushing forward. She’ll be closely monitored daily to make sure the infection doesn’t spread. 👉 Full educational article from Zamnesia: 🔗 Bud Rot Cannabis Grower Guide – Zamnesia https://www.zamnesia.com/grow-weed/563-bud-rot-cannabis-grower-guide What Bud Rot Is • Caused by Botrytis cinerea, a fungus that thrives in warm, humid, poorly ventilated conditions. • Begins inside dense buds, hidden from sight, and by the time it appears on the surface, the inner cola is usually already compromised. • Spreads quickly if unchecked, especially in crowded flowering rooms. Why It Happened • Humidity spikes during flower. • Airflow not perfectly balanced, leaving “dead spots” in the canopy. • Dense colas trapping moisture. • Temperature swings stressing the balance further. Prevention Tips (for us and for everyone reading) • Lower humidity in mid/late flower (40–50%, then 35–40% near harvest). • Strong airflow: oscillating fans above and below canopy + efficient extraction/intake. need improving in here for my next run • Regular defoliation to open the canopy. • Daily inspections of the biggest buds. • Harvest at the right time — pushing too long in risky environments can invite problems. What to Expect / Not to Expect Going Forward • Lava Cake #2: She’s drying now. Expect about 2 weeks of slow, careful drying under controlled temps and humidity. With bud rot, extra caution is needed — we won’t rush, but we’ll also make sure nothing risky makes it through. Expect reduced yield because of the early cut and loss of infected colas, but quality and safety will come first. • Lava Cake #1: She will continue swelling in the tent. Expect daily monitoring, improved airflow, and cautious optimism. If she stays strong, she could still finish beautifully. • The Room: We’ll dial in airflow and humidity management even tighter, keeping CO₂ and temps in check, and prepare the AC unit to avoid these swings in the future. Closing Thoughts Bud rot is a tough enemy, but also one of the most important teachers in growing. It reminds us that environment control is just as vital as genetics or nutrients. Yes, we lost part of this run, but we also gained experience that will make every future run stronger. And sharing this openly might help others spot it sooner, act faster, and maybe even save their crop.

Because bud rot was present, we’re being extra careful: • Drying in a separate, controlled space, away from the main room. • Temperature kept around 18–20°C, with humidity 50–55% — steady and stable. • Gentle airflow moving through the room, never directly on the buds. • Daily inspections to ensure no hidden spots continue developing. The goal is a slow 10–14 day dry, preserving as much aroma and quality as possible, while making absolutely sure nothing unhealthy makes it through. With bud rot, safety comes first — anything questionable goes straight to the trash. 👉 Why whole-plant drying? By leaving the plant intact, moisture moves more gradually from stems and inner tissues to the buds. This slows down the drying process, prevents overdrying, and helps preserve delicate terpenes and flavonoids that give Lava Cake her unique flavor. Especially after a bud rot scare, a steady, controlled dry is essential for both safety and quality.

These buds were giants, fat and sticky, the aroma of these plants was very robust with heavy aromas with subtle hints of citrus, fruity sweetness, with hints of sour diesel, I could swim in the smell, these buds just blew me away!

+ Day 14: 2.5 Liter Water and Rhizotonic 2ml/L , Final PH 6.8 . Air : 75% at 26°C . She looks really small , really lol . Day 13: next full 3 finger leaves Day 12: ongoing 3 finger leaves Day 10: good progress !!! Day 9: growing Day 8: growing +

8/31 I harvested Auto Opium today. This is 7-10 days early. I intended to grow her inside the tent, but when she stretched quickly i had to take her outside. This did not give her time to harden off before going fully into flower. Then my area went into extreme heat over 110 for extended weeks. High heat and humidity. She couldn't handle this. Then Hurricane Debby whipped her back and bent her main stem in several places. Repaired with chopsticks and electrical tape. Her limbs were thin and spindly, I tried to support with garden hoops but many stems just bent regardless. One bent and cut off its water & nutrients and died. All in all Auto Opium did not transition well from tent to outside. If I had understood her structure before her grow was underway, I would have done some topping or mainlining. I'm watching several growers demonstrate training techniques that I will try. You know you you are. Many thanks to you. We had some cooler nights in the last week or so which allowed leaf color changes from lime green💚 to purples💜 and some reds. I see some lavender in her buds. Trichomes are mostly milky white, so a bit early. Harvest shows, many long, hollow stems which couldn't support her own weight. To be eco-friendly, you could use these for beverage straws 😅. Thank you for sharing this journey with me. I appreciate your comments and advice 🙏🌱💚 . I'm learning as I'm growing, and growing as im meeting many friends here. Thank you @DivineSeeds for generously sharing your exciting seeds with me and the opportunity to participate in your contests. My friends as always sending you good vibes, plant love and healing 💫Natrona 💫

Thaught the yield would be bigger and the smell louder in generell.

Start of week 9! The buds are really starting to swell and look more spectacular every day! The smell is intensely fruity too! I reckon about two more weeks and it’ll be time! Last feeding before flush!

Flo 15: Arrosage engrais complets Flo 16: Défoliation des gourmands

Week 10, so from today I stopped watering the Gelato Cookie D'ohpe and on Saturday no more light as well. Sunday is harvest day finally. Not much changed, I raised up the water with 25ml so the Purple Punch gets 200ml 2 x a day. That's all, since last week I started giving 13 hours darkness and 11 hours light and from Monday will be 12/12 after I harvested the Gelato Cookie D'ohpe and I can use the tent only for her. Fertilization will happen on the same days. Sunday fun day, Gelato Cookie D'ohpe is harvested. Purple Punch left alone. From tomorrow I will switch the light schedule 12/12. End of the week Purple Punch is 43 cm.

Stretch hört langsam auf - leider bissl zu spät obersten Buds werden zu nah an der Haupt-led (klebt bereits an der Decke mit Gurten) sein - das ist mist. RH war diese Woche mist - konnte es einfach nicht runterbekommen (trotz starker Bechneidung) und somit keine hohe VPD fahren. Durst und Transpiration waren enorm. Weiter gehts mit Sativa Langabenteuer

*Smoke review added *

Heute wird umgetopft! Die Pflanze hat sich gut an Ihre neue Umgebung gewöhnt. Gedüngt wird in der Vegi mit biologisch gedüngtem Osmosewasser. Jetzt heisst es nur keine Trauermücken oder Thripse bekommen ! LST wird auch folgen. Siehe Bilder!
