đż Lava Cake â Week 4 VEG | Queen Energy & Full Ecosystem Build đż
Both Lava Cake phenos are thriving post-transplantâzero signs of stress, branching vigorously, and growing like thereâs no tomorrow, theyâre glowing like true queens under the summer sun. đ
⸝
đą Growth Highlights
⢠Structure: Lateral branches coming in fast and healthy
⢠Leaves: Deep green, thick, full of lifeânew sets coming in strong
⢠Resilience: No transplant shock observed; theyâre in full takeoff mode
⢠Training: Not started yet, but their shape is ideal for light training soon

đ§ Nutrient Profile
Current feeding recipe (per liter of water):
⢠Aptus Regulator â 0.15 ml
Supports nutrient flow, strengthens cell walls, anti-stress defense.
⢠Aptus CalMag Boost â 0.25 ml
Helping frame formation and boosting photosynthetic power.
⢠Aptus All-in-One Liquid â 1 ml
Serving as the balanced nutrient base.
⢠Aptus Start Booster â 0.2 ml
Still enhancing root expansion and early leaf vigor.
Weâre still watering from below, by filling the tray and letting the substrate absorb from the bottom up, encouraging strong root systems and oxygen-rich zones in the upper soil.

đĄď¸ Environment Overview
⢠Room Temp: 27°C
⢠Humidity: 57.4%
⢠COâ: 632 ppm
⢠Water Temp: 18.5°C
⢠pH: 5.83
⢠EC: 1.01
Everything monitored in real time via the TrolMaster Ecosystem, providing precision control and remote access, yes, even while weâre in the bathroom. đ

đĄ Lights & Zones
Weâve now expanded our setup into the 8x8 tent, and the Lava Cakes are sharing space with their sisters across two dedicated zones:
⢠Future of Grow â Black Series 600:
Full-spectrum power delivering compact, colorful growth.
⢠ThinkGrow Model Ones:
Smart spectrum and PPFD control, perfectly synced with the TrolMaster system.
Both lighting zones are tuned for vegâintensity dialed in, and spectrum tuned for lush photosynthesis.
⸝
đŹď¸ Airflow & Filtration
⢠Exhaust: Two 6â inline fans with carbon filters for odor and purity
⢠TrolMaster Aerofan 6â (controlled by Tent-X controller)
⢠Spider Farmer 6â Inline (controlled by GGS Controller)
⢠Intake: One 6â active intake with filter
This full cycle keeps airflow fresh, clean, and optimized, essential for plant metabolism and VPD balance.
đĄ Why carbon filters even now?
Because purity matters. Even in early veg, it keeps the air crisp and microbial risks low. Plus, stealth mode always on. đ
⸝
đ Sensors in Action
Weâre dialing in with:
⢠COâ sensor (live ppm tracking)
⢠Humidity/Temp sensor
⢠PPFD sensor for light mapping and consistency
These tools allow us to optimize every square meter of canopy, ensuring no girl is left behind.
⸝
đż Looking Ahead
⢠Light training coming soon
⢠Roots will now fully colonize the 11L Amnesia fabric pots
⢠Expect explosive top and side growth
⢠Canopy management will begin as needed
⢠More studio photo sessionsâbefore the girls outgrow the door! đ¸

đ§ Final Notes
This is a very special run. The Lava Cakes are being treated like royaltyâfrom tailored nutrients to cutting-edge control systems. The goal: maximum quality, transparency, and education every step of the way.
Weâre not just growing plants, weâre growing understanding, one leaf at a time.
