The snow is really coming down out there. Big fat flakes are piling up on the ground, and it doesn't look like it's going to stop anytime soon. I guess that means no outdoor plans for today. Might be the perfect day to get cozy inside with a warm drink and a good book The pound cake auto plant is growing like crazy! I'm so happy to see all the progress we've made. Yesterday, I finally got around to tying it down – it's amazing how much more stable it feels now. I can't wait to see what this plant looks like in a few more weeks.

🌸 Lava Cake – Week 7 Flower (Harvest Special) 🌸 This week marks a major milestone in the Lava Cake journey: we harvested phenotype two, who had been affected by bud rot. Bud rot may have tried to take the best from us, but we didn’t allow it. Every infected part was carefully removed, and the remaining healthy plant was harvested and is now drying as a whole plant under controlled conditions. ⸻ 🙏 Apologies & Context We know this is technically a flower week update, but due to the new updates on Grow Diaries and the desire to share photos, videos, and the story of this harvest so we’re combining the harvest with the flower week report. We apologize for any confusion — this is the only way to fully document and expose all that’s happening, and to make sure the lessons, successes, and challenges are visible for everyone following along. The next report will be the official “Harvest Report”, covering: • Drying & trimming process • Curing updates • Smoke review ⸻ 🌿 Quick Recap – From Seed to Here • Germination: Smooth in the Cannakan with Aptus Regulator & Start Booster, 3 seeds, 2 kept. • Vegetative Stage: Robust growth under Black Series 600 LED and later ThinkGrow & Lumatek LEDs. Root development and early structure supported with Aptus super soil and micro/macro mixes. • Transplant: Into 11L fabric pots, carefully monitored environment, roots thriving. • Early Flower: Weeks 1–4 brought thick white hairs, dense colas, and heavy branching. Nutrient support included Aptus Regulator, CalMag Boost, Plagron boosters, and All-in-One Liquid. • Mid Flower & Challenges: Week 5–6 showed signs of bud rot. Lava Cake #2 needed early harvest; Lava Cake #1 continues to swell and thrive. Through all of this, the Lava Cakes proved their resilience and quality, showing that even under stress, their genetics shine beautifully. ⸻ 🌱 Week 7 – Harvest Details • Bud Rot Management: All infected material removed and disposed of immediately. • Harvest Technique: Whole plant harvested, inspected, and prepared for controlled drying. • Drying: Slow, careful drying in a separate, stable environment to preserve aroma, terpenes, and cannabinoids while minimizing risk. Even though bud rot forced an early cut, the flowers are still dense, fragrant, and high quality. Their resilience and beauty deserve celebration. ⸻ 🔬 Educational Notes • Bud rot prevention & learning: This week reinforces how crucial airflow, humidity management, and daily inspection are during dense flower stages. • Whole-plant drying: Allows moisture to equalize gradually between stems and buds, preserving terpenes and flavonoids while keeping the product safe. • Environmental awareness: Temperature spikes, stagnant airflow, or dense canopy zones can quickly create pockets for mold — constant monitoring is essential. ⸻ 🌟 Closing Thoughts Week 7 is about resilience, lessons, and triumph over challenges. The Lava Cakes showed their strength even under pressure but needed to be harvested early, so we did it, no fears this is the only way and the way to save the rest of the closet sharing girls We want to celebrate the journey, from seed to harvest, and thank everyone following along for learning and growing with us. The next report will focus entirely on drying, trimming, and tasting — the final step where we get to enjoy the fruits of all the care, attention, and love put into these girls. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 P.S. – Heavy Fruits & Harvest Decision One of the key reasons we decided to harvest Lava Cake #1 this week was how heavy the colas had become. The flowers were so dense and weighty that some branches were starting to bend, snap, and strain under the load. While this is a testament to the plant’s vigor and genetics, it also increased the risk of further bud rot and damage, making an early, careful harvest the safest and most sensible choice. Even under pressure, these girls delivered impressive structure, weight, and resin coverage, proving their strength and quality until the very last moment. Thank you all for being here with me, see you all on the next report, Growers Love to All and never stop believing 🙏🙏🙏

*Will be topping them to find out Sex in straight 12/12 cloner hopefully we get more females than males. * Will update journal later *Ignore everything untill tomorrow *So I cut them and put them straight into 12/12 the clones that is to show me Sex. *You could see the hollow hole in the stem I wonder if that’s gonna cause an issue.

they are taking shape in their flowering but one of them requires urgent nutrients ... tomorrow comprare.biobizz ... although I am finding that I only use organic material ... she needs it .. I hope that my work trips do not affect my babies.... the other pack its height is 160 cm

The girls are looking great! I took off the last few leaves under the net. It’s been raining almost nonstop for a week so the humidity is a little on the high side. I’m going to flush them today and then switch to the flowering feeding schedule.

Today the 12/11/21 we start week 3 and I’ve been trying some light training on a couple of them just moving the big leafs from blocking the light to some smaller sights.they didn’t need water today either!!! Day 23-13/11/21 I’m trying out a bit of low stress training if that’s what I can call it I’m just moving the fan leaves so they don’t block we’re buds are gonna grow!!! Also gave them nice bit of water with biobizz grow today!!!! 1ml per litre!!!! Day 24-14/11/21 damn they got big since yesterday haven’t done anything today just letting them go wild probably put net on tomorrow!!! Day 25-15/11/21 nothing new today but there growing like mad!!!! Day 26-16/11/21 gave them a nice bit of water with bio bizz grow again!!! Day 27-17/11/21 nothing new today just watching the jungle start to form!!!! Day 28- 18/11/21 some of them are starting to bud!!!!!

I'm pretty much on auto pilot at this point.. im still just feeding compost extracts to keep it simple. There's a couple things I want to point out this week; I've also included a video of my cheese auto and no extra cost to the reader 😅🤣 PROCESS/ENVIRONMENT CHANGES - I've lowered the temp inside my tent a little bit to help keep my VFD between a good range for flower (1.0 - 1.5). I also changed the RH on my humidity controller when the temperature goes down after the lights go off. It's kind of a hassle but it's the only way I can stay in the range I'm looking for. - I've started to raise the pH of my water slowly... I want it to be between 6.6. And 6.8 at this point. - I've increase all my lights.. my Sf4000 is at 85% intensity and both my Ts1000s are sitting at around 75% intensity. - I've increased all my fans running. My intake is maxed out, my exhaust is on '6' and my fans inside my tent are all maxed out.. the cheese auto is drowning my entire house out hahaha its crazy. -I've cut off a whole bunch of fan leaves, larf, bottom branches and a bunch of other unwanted stuff.. I'm hoping that she thickens up fairly like some of her sister's in the tent 🤞 cutting off all the unwanted junk might help at least move more air at the bottom of the canopy.. at most it will help direct energy to other parts of the plant therefore producing a better flower. If she does fill out I'll have to support her side branches so they don't fall over. - Every day I rotate the plants in my tent so that the get to experience the light in different ways.

Sempre tem aquelas plantas que a gente fuma e por gostar do sabor , quando dá guardamos as sementes, essa geração de plantas foi uma mistura que tivemos a partir de um pacote mix da Delicious seeds , eu identifiquei como o sabor e as características da Green poison , assim vamos seguir com essa nomenclatura. Plantei 3 semtes regulares e por enquanto estão no ambiente externo como estamos em uma estação de frutas os pássaros não estão interessados.

WEEK 3 FLOWERING = 28/4/2023 (DAY 15 FLO) ---> 4/5/2023 (DAY 21 FLO) [DAY 64 - 15° FLO] - 28/4/2023 ⚡ - TS1000: 40 cm distance / 100% dimmer = 150 watt; ⌛ - 12/12 light cycle; 🌡️ - 27° C - 50% RH during light / 23° C - 58% RH during night; 📑 - PH 5.9 - EC 2.3 in DWC; 🍔 - For the third week of 12/12 I decided to decrease N a little and increase P and K: Micro 2ml/l, Grow 1.8 ml/l, Bloom 2 ml/l; 💧 - Solution in DWC is getting warmer: 22° C; 🥅 - I'm using the second SCROG net to even out the canopy. I bent the topmost branches and spread the branches further towards the sides of the box. The branches are still flexible enough to bend without issues; 🌱 - No marks on leaves, the plant has a nice green color. There are at least 30 flowering sites popping out of the second SCROG net. As already said, it's my first time with photoperiod and I don't know what to expect in terms of stretch, I'll try to manage it as best I can. ↕️ 43cm; 🔜 - Bought and mounted my new 3x3 tent. Next time I'll use that with my 2 TS1000! [DAY 65 - 16° FLO] - 29/4/2023 🌡️ - 27° C - 55% RH during light / 23° C - 55% RH during night; 📑 - PH 5.8 - EC 2.3 in DWC; 💧 - Keeping an eye on the PH and EC values ​​I noticed that in this 50 liter configuration the EC is very stable while the PH slowly drops day after day. I manage it don't using PH down when I top up. In this way I bring the PH levels to 6.1 and need to correct it after 3 or 4 days; 🌱 - Look at the day 65, done? Now go to last week and look at day 60. In 5 days the plant has filled the box again, amazing! 🌸 - Pre-flowers are forming, between tomorrow and the day after the flowering sites will be full of white pistils. [DAY 66 - 17° FLO] - 30/4/2023 🌡️ - 26.5° C - 60% RH during light / 22.5° C - 57% RH during night; 📑 - PH 5.8 - EC 2.3 in DWC; ✂️ - Removed about 20 big fan leaves; 🌸 - Flowering sites are filling up with pistils. [DAY 67 - 18° FLO] - 1/5/2023 🌡️ - 26° C - 64% RH during light / 21.5° C - 60% RH during night; 📑 - PH 6 - EC 2.3 in DWC; 🌸 - Pistils everywhere! [DAY 68 - 19° FLO] - 2/5/2023 🌡️ - 26° C - 65% RH during light / 21° C - 65% RH during night; 📑 - PH 5.8 - EC 0.4 in DWC; 💧 - Flush for 24 hours, tomorrow she'll get full flower blend; 🌱 - Plant got 6 cm in the last 48 hours. [DAY 69 - 20° FLO] - 3/5/2023 🌡️ - 26° C - 65% RH during light / 21° C - 65% RH during night; 📑 - PH 5.8 - EC 2.4 in DWC; 🍔 - After 20 days, DWC change: 40 LT flower blend. Silic (1ml/l) + CalMag (1ml/l) + Micro (2ml/l) + Grow (1ml/l) + Bloom (3ml/l) + Fulvic (1ml/l) + Atazyme (3ml/l). Added about 100ml Ph down Flower by Canna, to be honest I don't think it's very effective, I had to use a lot to lower the PH and I hope it's stable. Only plus side: is just phosphoric acid and is very useful in this phase! 💧 - Not a single dead root at the bottom of the DWC, I hope the old roots are at least rotting away. On the bright side, they're not causing any problems; 🌱 - Plant looks pretty fine, perhaps there is some slight light burn. I'll check tomorrow and, if necessary, raise the lamp by a few centimetres. The branches are still quite flexible but I have no more space to bend them 😅 [DAY 70 - 21° FLO] - 4/5/2023 🌡️ - 27° C - 60% RH during light / 22° C - 65% RH during night; 📑 - PH 6 - EC 2.4 in DWC; 🌱 - Week 3 flowering is done. Big change this week! I don't know if I'm talking bullsh*t, but since the switch I have noticed an important change in the leaves, they seem much thinner and longer, typical of Sativa dominant plants, and I like it!

Loving the look and bid formation. Seeing the difference in how my Gelato cake had previously budded and this is a way different experience lollipopping and mainline attempt definitely change the bud arrangement the smells are so wonderful. And now to see them lineup and stack they way are with only another 4 days til I stop everything but purpinator for another 4 days then force them to drink up last remainder of what's left in the coco during a 3 day dry spell and finally flushing before harvest.

Started to widen and stretch further

It's continuing, but I don't know if I'm defoliating too much, etc. At least the second grow looks a lot better. I still see a lot of room for improvement when I look at pictures from colleagues here! Learning and studying continues, it would be nice to be with someone who knows what they're doing :/

Today is the harvest day , you can see the trichomes are ~50% amber and cloudy it's enough for this 😁
