9 week flowering..Runtz Auto is almost ready and it’s beautiful! Balance plants are going well

Solid 10 inches of growth this week. Ladies were top dressed with more soil on Thursday night. Also game them a cal-mag boost with some Earth Pods back on Monday. The larger ladies are staying out in the garden, but the more finicky Critical Mass and Charlotte's Angel's are in the small greenhouse.

The terpenes attack are intense, super strong citrus pungent at this stage which indicates plant is ripening its trichs. My watering is twice a week with 500ml compost tea and 1.5L water only. The frost and smell is amazing. As for the burnt off leaves, i did defo but i was lazy to trim more of the burnt leaves. So i am going to leave them there because they drop off easily and is not inside the buds

fifth week of flowering Cc

🌸 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 🙏🙏🙏

Chugging right along were getting some stinky sticky ass buds. They smell my whole basement up of sweet citrusy with some skunks undertones(probably my photos that are also in bud but I dunno for sure) the buds are getting thicker daily and I mean daily doubling pretty well. I've never seen such a thing. I included the 4 photos I have that are also a month in to bud for a kind of comparison. The multi top frosty ass indica is the farthest along of the photos at 32days. I started them just before the autos went in. The other 3 are more sativa than frosty. They are all experimental to me so please excuse the way they are. I have been playing doctor since I bought this tent. Trying different things to see what works what doesn't what i am and am not capable of.Anyway I'm gonna start some Northern Lights x Big Bud Auto sometime after these 2 Short Riders get hung and i pull the indica . Ill keep a diary of it in case anyone starts following my adventures. Anyways I'm late with this one so enjoy my ramblings and my pics of my girls.

A good week here in the tent. The girls continue to grow and progress. Getting a small amount of water daily. Looking for more progression then I'll transplant the best looking ones.

So far the biggest but least formed plant in the tent. The blue cheese has hit 57 days from seed, and to be honest its looking all healthy! I cant wait for the next few weeks for the nugs to dense up!

;)

The week started with an of trichome production and smell, orange and mandarin peel. Really nice to smell on her. She is packed with flowers and looks quit healthy. I need to have an eye on nitrogen. My potting mixes were a bit too hot and Tangerine Dream maybe needs a flush. We‘ll see how she will looks tomorrow morning and the so decide.

Added charge as top feed. Have used this product many times and recommend if using coco medium. Just sprinkle on as top dress,, not part of weekly feed, I use it 2/3week then again mid flower 5 days after start of week 3 and a good growth in that period since slight increase in nutrients and charge

Not much to say! Girls are continuing to get fatter and packing on the crystals. As soon as the tent opens my house is consumed by the smell of kush, just kinda want to live in there.

I do not know how it happened but it did… She has decided she want to reveg herself. I hope you can see what I mean, if you compare week 18 and this 23rd week. She’s now bush and showing off her new growth, I am caught between defoliation or letting her grow wild and uninterrupted, the problem lies with blocking other new growth from getting enough sunlight, I remember change her position to try get both sides growing at an equal rate but all I did is made the one lacking to be the one leading in growth. Loving her scent, fruity sweet, though has a slight hint of diesel.

Que pasa familia, vamos con la segunda semana de vida de estas Lemonpaya feminizadas de fastbuds. Vamos al lío , las 3 semillas que germinaron con éxito se colocaron en macetas de 0.6 litros y asomaron 3 , 100% ratio germinado. Voy a necesitar 2 ejemplares de los 3 que hay, retiraré el más pequeño. El ph se controla en 6.2 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 20/22 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. El ciclo de crecimiento puse 18h de luz, el foco está al 75% de potencia. Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

Another easy strain to grow. She stretches like crazy during flowering so LST is a must for indoor growing. She grew very fat and way more dense buds than Big Bud Auto I am very pleased with the yeild with over 120 g's on the scale. Between both strains I yeilding a little over 8.5 oskies, roughly 2+ oz per plant give or take. This particular strains is one of my favorites!

Day 3 of flower things seem to be going great, have already had to cut 1 down cause it was a male hoping I don’t have many more🤞

11/5 Week 10 and last full day for Ivy She is ready, trics milky with a tad of amber and smattering of clear. Harvest tomorrow as the rain passes today.

Posting this as I’m on the last few days of the 3rd week from germination Great progress, a lot of roots for such a short period but not too much plant growth, will start watering daily instead of watering every 2-3 days Topped the girls today (Day 18 from germ) and starting to do mainline on all the Bubba kush.

Day 66 ... the weather get´s more worst too cloudy and cold at night 😱😫😵... so i decide to harvest today 😃👍 Now "Hilde 2.0" is hanging in the dark in the basement and can dry... I'm curious to see how the harvest turns out 😃🙌🙏 Day 2 drying in the dark 😃👍

Progressing nicely. Took a little longer to bounce back after topping from what I have grown used to. Feeding lightly with calmag as I am using RO water. Third plant of perpetual grow broke soil today... went with Ethos Cherry Garcia (from multipass). Photos/video taken 28 days after breaking soil
