I apologize for the video quality. I have been super busy, but still wanted to make something nice for y'all! Day 56: Gave the girls another plain watering pH adjusted to 6.5 then added Mammoth P @ 67°F. Not fading as quickly as I'd thought they would. Chopped the Triple Cheese today and moved our Gelat.O.G. into the open spot in flower. Breeder specs show 50-56 day Bloom an I think last run she may have went too long. Plan to be in the garden 8/5 (Day 58) and hoping to see some more fading and swelling going on. The aromas on the tent are absolutely tantalizing. I will try to get a few more photos for ya'll. Day 58: Did some minor defoliation in the veg tent and took photos. I decided today I would upload unfiltered and unedited photos. Enjoy! Day 61 of 12/12: I noticed seeds in the Skunk #1.😭😭😭 Possibly other plants too, but I was mostly on the lookout for the flowers to tonight. I noticed a single banana popping out of Purple Queen. I decided to harvest all but the Strawberry Amnesia and the Blueberry. I will get pictures soon and update with harvest deets. I need to take a closer look to see what plants may have been pollenated and if there are any other nanners. I did have a timer fail (which has been replaced) at the end if week 1 of flower. Not sure if this could be the cause, if I let her go too long, or if it's just the genetics. I am hoping for minimal damage. I'd be interested in a Purple Queen x Chenobyl cross. Think the seeds would be prone to hermies or would ya'll toss the beans in the bin?

🌿 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.

Welcome back, my fellow plant enthusiasts, to the final chapter of our enchanting journey with our beloved Lavender Auto from Seeds Mafia. We have reached Week 10, a milestone where the culmination of patience and dedication unfolds in all its splendor. So, let's savor this moment and celebrate the breathtaking beauty that our Lavender has become. As I gaze upon our Lavender Auto, my heart fills with sheer admiration. She has blossomed into a magnificent sight, exuding an aura of pure elegance. Her once vibrant green foliage has transformed into shades of autumn, with gentle hints of yellow and amber, mirroring the changing seasons. It's a visual masterpiece that truly captivates the soul. And let me tell you, my friends, the aroma that now fills the air is nothing short of a divine symphony. The unexpected twist our Lavender Auto brought us earlier has taken a delightful turn. The skunk-like fragrance has gracefully evolved into a heavenly fusion of lavender and sweet floral notes. It's as if she heard our desires and decided to gift us with her own interpretation of perfection. Mother Nature, indeed, works in mysterious and awe-inspiring ways. With a heavy heart, yet brimming with excitement, I must share that the time has come to bid farewell to our Lavender Auto. She has reached the pinnacle of her growth, displaying trichome-laden buds that glisten like tiny crystals, beckoning us to partake in their euphoria. The moment of harvest has arrived, and I assure you, my friends, it was a sight to behold. I would like to take a moment to express my utmost gratitude to the creators of this Lavender strain, thank you Seeds Mafia for this . Your dedication to developing such a remarkable plant is truly commendable. The Seeds Mafia team, you have crafted a masterpiece that has enchanted our senses and nurtured our passion for cultivation. Thank you for sharing your expertise and allowing us to embark on this extraordinary journey. I also want to extend a heartfelt shout-out to the wonderful platform at Grow Diaries, where we documented our Lavender's progress week after week. The community of growers who have supported and shared their wisdom throughout this journey, you have made this experience even more fulfilling. Let us continue to inspire and learn from one another as we nurture our green companions. As we close this chapter of our gardening tale, let us remember the invaluable lessons we have learned. Our Lavender Auto has taught us to embrace the surprises that nature offers, to find beauty in the unexpected, and to celebrate the uniqueness of each plant's journey. She has reminded us that true greatness lies not only in meeting expectations but also in surpassing them with her own remarkable twists. So, my fellow cultivators, let us bid adieu to our Lavender Auto with hearts filled with gratitude and admiration. May her legacy live on in our gardens and inspire future endeavors. And as we move forward on our botanical adventures, may we continue to nurture our plants with boundless affection, never-ending enthusiasm, and an unwavering belief in the wonders that nature bestows upon us. As always thank you all for stopping by and for supporting me on this journey, i am super passion about growing and fell blessed to have you all with me on this new journey <3 <3 <3 Genetics -Seeds Mafia Lavender Automatic Light - LUMATEK ZEUS 465 COMPACT PRO

On day 1 I transplanted 2 BB clones into 3 gal smart pots with coco coir. I watered them in with veg formula and set up my blumat watering system with week 1 flower nutes. I raised PPFD to 600-700. On day 2 the reservoirs PH was adjusted from 6.4 to 6.0. The rez is 823 ppm. The tops are 16.5" from the grow light. The blumats have not started watering yet and I will monitor to ensure it goes smoothly. I have the blumats set at 1.25 carrots on left plant and 1 carrot on right plant. The average PPFD of my 16 tops is 703 PPFD. I increased temps to 85 day 81 night to get leaf surface around 80 f during day. On day 3 the reservoirs PH is 6.2. The rez is 782 ppm. The blumats have started watering and I will monitor closely over the next few days. On day 4 the reservoirs PH was adjusted from 6.3 to 6.1. The rez is 717ppm. On day 5 the reservoirs PH is steady at 6.1. The rez is 706 ppm. The highest top is 15.25" from the light. I defoliated to bring in more air and light to deeper into the canopy. I increased the flow rate of blumat by .5 carrot on the right plant as it was a little to dry for my liking. The Clones are preforming well. On day 6 the reservoir PH is going down so I adjusted up from 6.0 to 6.2. The rez is 730 ppm. The highest cola is 14.75" from the light. The left plant had a runaway so I reduced blumat by 1 carrot. I increased flow of blumat on right plant by .5 carrot as it is still drier than I would like. On day 7 the reservoirs PH was adjusted from 6.3 to 6.0. The highest cola is 14.25". I reset rez with nutes.

Finally seeing buds has reinvigorated me lol i vegged these gals a full 8 weeks and the nodes per plant are over a dozen right now , lil buds are growing nicely even considering i have defoliated each plant once this week with a few additional handfuls of leafs here and there . Started with bud ignitor hopefully that is helping and we will see by end of week 2 😁😁 also i took down my scrog , i just wasnt able to to get into each plant and defoliate as needed with the scrog present . Next time i will scrog alot earlier during veg . Thanks for checking out my grow , if you have any tips or tricks for a rookie im all ears

White Widow survived! She started growing all the leaves at the same time. There is some fractal shit going on with the leaves, which is very visually appealling for me. I discovered that I like taking care of the plants, make me calm, and is a new nice and healthy hobby. The plants are listening to classical music and "582hz music" 18 hours a day! :)

Okay so I'm trying something new, since I've gone away from a switch to water for the last week flush I harvested the tops and best smalls and packed the cannatrol full. I'm giving the under growth a bit more time to rippen before I harvest that for the the freezer. If this turns out to be a bad idea I'll not do it again in the future. The last long video is what's left in the tent right now. Let me know if any of you have experience doing this. Updated with a bunch of pictured of dried and cured. Ended up with 186g of beautiful flower. 72g of untrimmed smalls I'll make into RSO, I have a lot of back and nerve pain and RSO hands down the only thing that brings me actual relive, I'm late to the party on this one but I set a side part of the grow for it now. I let the under canopy and shorter tops go another 10 days feed at half strength and I'm glad I did, it ripened up nicely and definitely got a lot of color. I forgot to get pictures of that harvest but I will when I pull it from the freezer to wash. My test jar of this washed at 4+% (the last picture). Last update will be results of that wash. Last update on this one, I added a couple hash/rosin pics at the end. She washed from plant to rosin at 4.03% the terps are musky skunk, sweet pastries, and fresh Linen. I'd definitely grow this one again.

Seems to be going good, idk if I should ad more bloom booster or just use molasses. Also the broken cola I replanted, seems to still be alive but don’t really know what else to do. Just hope I can get these out of some random guys back yard soon.
