9 week Smells excellent, sweetly and fruity. Begin change color from green to rose . Looks really wonderful. Starting prepare for harvest. Last nutrition at the end of this week. Then flash

Plants continued to mature this week and all the buds are getting fat they will have there last nutrient feed this week in prep for flushing and harvest next week. The Lemon Zkittles looks and smells amazing looks amazing. Nearly all the plants look and smell the small, good genetics and breading. The Cxx is again a very stable genetics and flowered and smells exactly as the last grow did. Good genetics. The Peyote Cookies and Shishkaberry also grew well and similar, good genetics. Afghan Kush amazing buds and very earthy smell.classic The gorilla cookies had a rather large variation in pheno types but all look amazing and each will be a pleasure to smoke.

Esta variedad me encanta, huelen genial y sus cogollos son super densos y llenos de resina siempre. Poca tolerancia a los excesos y es muy fácil de estresar. A pesar de todo sigue siendo una de mis variedades favoritas ya que su aroma old school con toques ácidos me fascina!. Actualizaré luego del secado y después notas de humo. Saludos!

🍰 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.

Vamos familia, actualizamos la segunda semana de floración de estas Lemon Cherry Runtz de FastBuds. La temperatura que estuvo entre los 24-26 grados y humedad dentro de los rangos correctos. En cuanto a las plantas las veo verde sano, estiraron bien y ensancharon bastante también. Se nota que los nutrientes de la marca Agrobeta cubre todas las necesidades de cada ejemplar. Las flores empezaron a formarse, por el momento todo correcto, os dejé también alguna novedad y un cambio en la sala, agradecer al equipo de Mars hydro por el nuevo TSW2000. (los últimos 5 años cultive solo con los leds de esta marca)los cuales probé, TS600, TS1000, TS3000, TSL2000. Llevaba 10 años trabajando en sodio y fue un salto de gigantes cambiar a los Leds, jamás me arrepentiré de ese cambio. - os dejo por aquí un CÓDIGO: Eldruida Descuento para la tienda de MARS HYDRO. https://www.mars-hydro.com Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

F week 3. It gets really bushy. I had to do a second defoliation. At this point everything seems to go well.

Tricky week. I've over complicated things by trying to incorporate CO2 into the grow. The main problem is the Airbomz unit is crap! 😂The timer seems to release CO2 at random intervals...I kept an eye on it and it sprayed anywhere between 1hr20 and 1hr50 with no kind of pattern...definitely not the regular 2hr interval I had selected. I'm switching to a mushroom bag, which will sit by my intake vent and flood the tent with CO2 night and day :) A much cheaper and simpler option! Advantage of this is that I can keep things simple with my ventilation. I've been switching on and off to allow CO2 to absorb, and the result is huge spikes in temp and humidity. I'm now extracting 24hrs a day and switching the intake fan on and off with the lights, and my temp and humidity has stabilised. However I'm still up at 70% all day and night....which seems a bit high! I'll have to keep an eye on it.

She's one of the tallest ones. I love this strain, for me it's a good nighttime - it's especially great at comforting me to sleep if I have a migraine. 😌 Works like a charm every time. I hope this pheno works like the flower I've had.

No deficiencies thus far adding some molasses each feeding 1 tbls per gal water

Skywalker came down mid week with mostly cloudy trichomes. Probably could’ve pulled it longer but it looked ready to me and I’m expecting kush effects anyway. Blueberry has a beautiful fade that would probably have scared me my first grow. She has definitely had calcium issues which is causing some leaves to burn crispy. That can all be cut away after drying so im not too concerned. Arguably i could’ve chopped her this week but i think she has more to do before her time is up Glueberry OG just now getting some yellowing of leaves. Hard to tell if it’s a deficiency or fade to my eye but i top dressed a small amount of NLS concentrate before it gets much further along. This might be a mistake this far along but I’m willing to learn from it if it is

Ultima semana de la etapa vegetativa, próxima semana empieza fotoperiodo 12/12 me impresiona la asimilación de nutrientes de la G13 que no muestra ninguna deficiencia y gran frondosidad, se hace destacar entre estas sativas una planta sumamente vigorosa con un crecimiento increíble tiene bien puesto su nombre. High Level 😍

End of week 3 broke one gorilla doing low stress training. 20 days on December 31/2020 one. Is already showing sign of flowering

Flush ended two days before the darkness period. Decided on a 48 darkness periods though some prefer 24 or 72. The darkness did help trichomes reappear at the tops of the canopy. Going for a longer dry of 10 days, best temperatures are 60-70F to preserve the terps with 50-60RH. This has been an amazing experience, definitely putting in more passion into the next run.
