🌿 Lava Cake – Week 4 VEG | Queen Energy & Full Ecosystem Build 🌿 Both Lava Cake phenos are thriving post-transplant—zero signs of stress, branching vigorously, and growing like there’s no tomorrow, they’re glowing like true queens under the summer sun. 👑 ⸻ 🌱 Growth Highlights • Structure: Lateral branches coming in fast and healthy • Leaves: Deep green, thick, full of life—new sets coming in strong • Resilience: No transplant shock observed; they’re in full takeoff mode • Training: Not started yet, but their shape is ideal for light training soon ⸻ 💧 Nutrient Profile Current feeding recipe (per liter of water): • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml Supports nutrient flow, strengthens cell walls, anti-stress defense. • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml Helping frame formation and boosting photosynthetic power. • Aptus All-in-One Liquid – 1 ml Serving as the balanced nutrient base. • Aptus Start Booster – 0.2 ml Still enhancing root expansion and early leaf vigor. We’re 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. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment Overview • Room Temp: 27°C • Humidity: 57.4% • CO₂: 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 we’re in the bathroom. 😉 ⸻ 💡 Lights & Zones We’ve 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 – 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 veg—intensity dialed in, and spectrum tuned for lush photosynthesis. ⸻ 🌬️ Airflow & Filtration • Exhaust: Two 6” inline fans with carbon filters for odor and purity • TrolMaster Aerofan 6” (controlled by Tent-X controller) • Spider Farmer 6” Inline (controlled by GGS Controller) • Intake: One 6” active intake with filter This full cycle keeps airflow fresh, clean, and optimized, essential for plant metabolism and VPD balance. 💡 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. 🔇 ⸻ 📈 Sensors in Action We’re dialing in with: • CO₂ 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. ⸻ 🌿 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 sessions—before the girls outgrow the door! 📸 ⸻ 🧠 Final Notes This is a very special run. The Lava Cakes are being treated like royalty—from tailored nutrients to cutting-edge control systems. The goal: maximum quality, transparency, and education every step of the way.

Started the week at 725 ppm which was stronger than I meant to. Remixed on day 38 to 650 ppm. I've been adding the ph up incorrectly. Noticed some calmag deficiency in the last day or two so I'll be upping the calmag to 15 ml. She seems to be doing well. I'm losing the battle against the smell. My whole house smells like dank.she drinks 1 gallon every 24 hours I only add ph'd water between feeds. I cant believe she grew 7 inches this week!

This week she was transplanted into her forever home. A 38 litre airpot. The timelapse is the whole week except a few hours when I was repotting. When I repotted her, I buried her deeper than normal because she stretched so much!!! She was a lot taller than the other 3 girls.

Hey everyone Slow and steady, she is getting a little thicker but not sure overall what she is going to produce. I’m just happy she grew and has been healthy besides the stress in the beginning.

Soaked seed for 18 hours and then planted into pots , 24 hours later and she’s broke ground . I’ll run high humidity and give her water for a few days then ease her into nutes .

Jun 10: Watered less than half gallon of Ph 6.7 water. Jun 12: That watering really gave a growth spurt! Bumping the humidity up to a max of 81% til early flower. Jun 13: Plant is tall enough to tie down the main stem to the side. Once the other stems get longer, I'll tie them down to the rim of the bucket as well, to maximize light exposure. Jun 15: Buckets are getting lighter, but the soil is moist, meaning my humidity was too high. That lead to some mold and algae that I will treat with spray Neem oil. Smells terrible, but should do the trick. Lowering humidity to 65% for a bit, then will probably get closer to 75% over the next few days. Decided to top, since the plant is getting big enough to support it!

63 days!!!! the girl is growing and maturing fantastically :) of course I would like a bigger room for her, but I grow it in the conditions I have :) the girl drinks 3 liters of water with nutrients biobiiz 6.3ph (I also give advancet nutrients micro) she likes it :) since I have two different species growing in my tent, I don't understand the aroma of the trivia :D their terpenes smell very delicious, I just don't understand which one smells better :D good luck to everyone :).

Venga familia que ya viene la cosecha de estas Lemon Cherry Runtz de Fastbuds, que ganas que tenia ya de darles machetazo. Que locura de variedad , me encantó cultivarla , en este indoor no tuve plaga de nada así que todo fenómeno. Las flores aparte de piedras, se ven resinosas. a sido una genética con la que disfruté bastante, es fácil de cultivar y es resistente, 9/10 semanas de floración, la planta es bien olorosa, apesta bastante, los aromas son intensos y muy dulces. Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Mars hydro: Code discount: Eldruida https://www.mars-hydro.com/ Hasta aquí es todo , espero que lo disfrutéis, buenos humos 💨💨.

What's up Harvest day .. Honestly I would have left this beautiful Peyote Critical to mature a little longer, but unfortunately the environmental humidity got very high and I was struggling to keep it below 65% .. also because of this, the trichomes have their maturation slowed down a little. However, 10% are amber ... they will partly diminish later, if I do a proper drying (7/10 days) and a good cure of about a couple / three weeks .. So by eye I think I will get roughly between 29 and 32 grams .. We'll see ... I will perform a whole-plant drying, removing only the few remaining medium / large leaves .. It has some beautiful purple color nuances.. Super super sticky .. Perfume from good kush, with earthy notes, mango?, sweet but pungent ... In about two weeks I will clean the buds well, before putting them in the jair.. Ah and I used a led light of 205w .. but we need to divide the absorption for three plants of Peyote C. + 2 automatic LSD that were at the corners of the "Grow" (without mylar cloth) for two months + 3 Kush Cookies in the last two / three weeks .. I will update with photos ... Smoke test..about after November 15th .. Vape test..maybe in ten days.. It was nice and easy to cultivate this strain... I certainly recommend it for those who want try out the draws.. Lots of resin.. We get it.. I hope you enjoyed it.. Thanks for the time🙏.. Have fun...do clouds.. 😄👌😉. Update 7 days 25t ° 60% ur, whole plant + manicure when not too dry yet + 2 more days in brown paper bag (open several times a day to move the flowers). This is one of those cases where in such a short time a strain is already good to taste..for example the other two peyote critical, with which the same identical procedure was done, now that they are in pot for the cure they do not have yet the scent that this already has, like a lots of strain I grow in past..anyway.. Vape test (mighty). 180/186/190 ° taste really good..woody, mango and partly has the same scents that I found in Vanilla Kush(love it).. slightly earthy but the sweetest flavor prevails..also of something else but I can not distinguish really..very good... I thought I could find a taste more than kush "classic"..instead it is a kush but particular, more sweetness.. Quite relaxing effect, from good kush..this I feel that in particular it also relaxes the muscles very much, mentally quite concentrated but relaxed.. I underline that in the vegetative phase I did not give her any nutrients if I did not humus worm in the soil + the soil itself (light-mix).. I did three transplants ..the only liquid used at the start was Root juice..the last transplant, at the bottom of the vase I put about 1/4 of the vase, a super soil created a few months ago as a test, composed of volcanic rocks and other various "natural" components(you can read in first week)😊 .. Later I gave Melassa twice during flowering + two / three times macerated organic banana.. He had only 205w Black-Dog LED as lighting, but to be subdivided with two more of the same strain plus two LSD, also Barney's, plus another three Kush Cookies on the sides of the "Grow without walls".. The final weight of the buds is 16 grams of sun main peaks + 6 grams of popcorn buds... Quantity of really exceptional resin...top of the top..🔝👌🔝👌😍😍 ✌️

She grew easy and smells great. Chopped at day 91 after 48 hours of darkness, ended up with 37 grams of dried and cured nuggets. Very interesting bud structure, very dense, first time I saw literal dripping. The smell is sweet, skittles, tropical fruit. The flavor on the smoke hasn't tasted as pronounced, still tasty. The high is good for a sativa, still somewhat motivated. RQS has sold me some great genetics so far, and the cheapest as well.

New week, new growth. So we have done another defoliation to allow the lower shoots to be exposed to the lights which equal to a better yield come flower time, they always need a day or 2 recover after being put under any stress, especially if its an extreme amount of leaves being taken off. They were also lollipoped to clear up and messy under growth and to improve airflow under the canopy. I also took clones from each of these. Paying close attention to the EC and pH. Increasing and decreasing as and when I need to going off what the plants show me. Close to flower now. A few days to go! Stay tuned and feel free to follow my instagram and youtube channel for a closer look. Peace x

I grew all of my plants the same and with 3 strains and only being allowed to have 5 plants total I have to pick the strongest growers and hope they stay strong and this time for me the gamble payed off nicely with a good harvest. I would recommend this strain as it grows fast and did not seem to be a picky eater and took in a lot of heavy feedings... Thanks for checking out my harvest and If you have any questions I will do my best to quickly answer them..

Day 24-31 (Day 25) The smell in here is absolutely ridiculous. My last grow didn’t smell even close to this bad in early flower. (Day 27) Stretch is finally all done. #6 in the back is very stout and barely stretched compared to everything else. I doubt it will yield much but I’m excited to see the nice tight colas on it. It seems to be still getting adequate light and raising it up is hard to do with a scrog net so I will just leave it. If it wasn’t getting enough light it would be stretching right? The early frost is really shocking to me. My last indoor round definitely wasn’t this caked and I’ve never had an outdoor plant on this level either. That’s also true in terms of smell too. (Day 29) I’m still debating whether I should feed anything in flower or just leave it. The only deficiency I’m seeing is purple stems from P def which could actually just be from light intensity rather than a lack of P. I’ve done some thinking and I’ve decided to only feed my small plant. What I’m most curious about is if a PK boost will actually make any kind of a difference in flower when it comes to bud size and smokability. So to test this theory I will be top dressing a teaspoon of 0-18-0 bat guano, a tablespoon of 1-4-2 Destiny launch and a half strength watering of 0-0-15 kelp extract. I’m trying to avoid N all together as I just toxed my guinea pig plants with another experimental flowering PK boost that had a very small amount of N in it. This plant in particular actually has very early signs of N def and probably will fade harder than the rest. (Day 31) Shit. Looks like #1 is starting to herm. It’s definitely not environment or light leaks so maybe it’s just genetic or the recent leaching stressed it out too much. Either way, it’s only a single lower branch and I’m prepared to cut her down if I start seeing anymore. I double checked every other budsite but couldn’t find anymore. In my experience true herms usually start pushing bananas out of the main tops and plants like mine can usually be salvaged with little to no seeded bud. But then again it’s day 31, when these things usually start to happen. I’m 50/50 on this one. I will be watching it everyday like a hawk if anymore show up. The breeder I’m using, ‘Jordan of the Island’s’ is notorious for having unstable genetics and this will be the last time I run any of his stuff. The quality is good, certainly better than most European and Dutch genetics I’ve run but I know I could do better where genetics are concerned. I can’t wait to start hunting my archive dosidos x gelato 41 and in house sugarcane.
