My best grow so far, very very productive, really strong genetic, brushy plant with beautiful healthy leafs. Gorgeous flowers with calming and strong flavors, very rich in terpenes. A little leafy, but I think this is a must for having strong and healthy plant with bud production. Overall the trimming was very easy. The effect is very pleasant and calming, no couch lock or paranoia, but a nice and durable happy high. In the middle between a body and mental effect. Great for every situation, such as chilling with friends , doing day activities (you stay focused), for insomnia, depression or other medical purposes. One of the best strain I tried so far (and maybe in general), I hope Dinafem will operate again soon, cause nowadays it’s almost impossible to find these seeds and I wished to grow it again this year.

4/20/25 my cover crop is coming in nicely. first time trying a cover crop. the plant is spreading out nicely and evenly and looking very nicely. Not much growth recently but she looks happy. 4/23/25 everything is coming along nicely. Just using plain water when everything starts getting 4/24/25 extending the landscape staples out to keep spreading her out as far as i can. she would be a great candidate for

Fully into flower. Filling in well, smell coming along nicely (some are like lemon candy, some are a little more skunky). I had a Mars Hydro TSW2000 sitting around so I added that in between the two lights/beds which really helped to even out the PAR. Dead nuts in the middle of the beds is about 1000, the edges are about 700. Super cropped a few that were just reaching too much. Put up some trellis, I think I'm going to need the supports, and helped to spread out some of the stacks that were going to be a little too close. Did a little more defoliation. It's really just maintenance at this point (and standing there admiring and smelling over and over) Been mixing up a little organic nutrient cocktail to supplement with, using BuildASoil BuildABloom (soy protein hydrolysate, rock phosphate, gypsum, magnesium sulfate, potassium sulfate), Fermented Plant Extracts: Liquid Pumpkin Extract (Probiotically Grown Pumpkins, Clean Mountain Water, EM-1, Home Made LABS (Lactobacillus Serum), Super Cera Powder, and Molasses), BuildASoil Aloe and the Quillaja extract. I'll do a foliar spray first thing in the morning and replace the first fertigation of the day with this same mix (at the normal EC and PH level). They seem to love it and respond really well. I really want to switch over completely to organic living soil, I'm probably going to after this run, so it's fun to experiment with some of the ingredients.

Got a hold of these beans direct from the UK and couldn't afford to have them sitting. This is a indica dominant strain freebie that checked all the boxes for my 4/20 smokes. UPDATE: 14 days from germination, I posted a video and she's already has side branch action and we have only begun veg as of 12/14/22. Genetics shining on this one and I only feeding water, will introduce some light nutes over the wknd MAYBE

Buenass, las Frisian Dew creo ya están para cosechar, tienen casi todos los pelos naranjas, y las flores se caen del peso, asique el lunes que viene seguro las cosecho, ayer ya las regué solo con agua, a la única que le puse agua con fertilizante es a la The Ultimate de la izquierda que esa tiene toda la pinta de que puede engordar un poco mas, detecte de forma temprana una plaga de arañas rojas, aparecieron por la baja humedad y las altas temperaturas, asique estuve cortando varias hojas que vi afectadas, y ya me encargue de bajar la temperatura (bajando el calefactor) y subir la humedad (riego en mayor cantidad), cuando revegete usaré algún producto orgánico como jabón potásico y aceite de neem para mantenerlas a raya, y si puedo incorporar mariquitas mejor (el tema es conseguirlas jeje). A la The Ultimate de la derecha solo le puse agua con un producto anti estrés, si veo que está bien en la semana capaz le mando un poco de fertilizante, pero con respecto a antes está bastante mejor, al final era un problema de PH, un amigo trajo su medidor de PH y el agua con la que riego tiene un PH de 9, asique voy a comenzar a comprar vinagre para reducir el PH del agua, pero se la bancaron bastante bien todo este tiempo, el suelo vivo ayuda bastante a regular el PH... saludos :) (Adición: la semana 19 se me subió recién cuando agregué la semana 20, se me había bugueado jeje)

Prepared 9 , 5 gallon fabric pots. Started presoak of beans at noon on August 31st. About 4 hrs then switch to pure water for 8 more hours. Around midnight switch to paper towel and plates. Set heat pad @86°. Prep solo cups with Light Warrior ff, on the 2nd of September check tails and plant in solos. Wet solos the day before and start heating them up on the mat in domes. After seeds pop in solos wet the center of 5gal pots until runoff and start heating main tent with the big pots in it. Transplant seedlingson or around September 7th. I'll try to remember to post a germination pic. I use rain water with 5ml calmag per gal with a ph 6.0-6.5 no adjustment to the ph is needed. That's how I water throughout the grow, unless I see a deficiency that needs immediate attention. Soil is a mixture of Fox Farm soils , I added pumice, perlite, peat, moss, ewc, compost, guano, langbeinite, dietamacieous earth and dry fertilizers like Dr EARTH Bud and Bloom, or Pennington tomato. Installing bamboo frames for LST. I'll LST and top once usually. Manifolding is fun but takes an extra 2 weeks for me so I have started to avoid tall strains. I've grown Wedding Cake a few times, also Chemdog and Gelato, but the N. Lights and Peyote WiFi are gonna be a new experience. No idea what PW will be, they were freebies won in the Seedsman 4-20 contest 2021. Pretty sure the Northern lights will be similar in size to wedding cake. It will all get sorted out over the next 7 weeks. Ill move them around until a conopy looks good. That 2x4 tent is mainly for germinating seedlings and drying harvest but can also be useful for overfolw or quarantine. The 4x4 is taller plants. The 3x5 with that vioer spectra 480w light is bad ass but does have limits on total plant height, really really strong light.Alright that's it, I'm back with no name or gender changes, had some success and failure here before, I expect that trend to continue.I'll be checking your darlings out. 8/2 added a few more beans to the paper towels. These old beans from GOG seem to be bad, probably due to the factory seed pack. They are blister packs with plain card board backing, the plastic is heavy butvonly on the top for protection from crushing. Obviously not good for storage , so much for trying to maintain humidity. Added six more chemdog millionaire and 4 more Northern Lights beans to the paper towel for germination last night so far all these chemdogs and northern lights haven't germinated. The wedding cakes spouted then died before the tails were a quarter inch long. I've never had so many fail. This is gonna take a while but I'll eventually find some beans that aren't full of dust. Garden of Green love ya but this is bad. Update September 7th I've added- 3 Black Sugars, 6 White Widows, 5 Hellfire OG, all failed they are just dry husk that sink and stay on the bottom of a glass with water. Out of 60 or so seeds I think 6 germinated and 4 actually became seedlings. Stating over with. 5 Seedsman Gelat OG feminized and 5 Seedsman Amnesia FAST feminized pre soaked last night then started paper towel method at 5am today. Still have 5 of 9 pots that are empty. What a fucking ordeal.im just gonna continue with what is up already and say day 1 was Sept 12. That's close enough for this mess.

We back with some buckets! Time to fire up the pumps and get this show on the road. Soaked this beautiful little gem of a bean in some water until it cracked then threw it into the bucket with 100% perlite. Started them on a low dose of maxigro on day 3. Doing these diy Dutch Bucket style as always. Going to be running 8 in house genetics strains on the system with constant 24 hour a day irrigation. Not much exciting going on yet, but with a little luck that may change pretty soon. A huge thanks to @wildeweed for this bean.

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.

With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 P.S. – Drying After Bud Rot Harvest For Lava Cake #2, we harvested the entire plant and are drying her whole. 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.
