Fastberry Start: 27/5 Harvest: 1/8 I grow her 100% organic She grows very fast. Since i'm in the sub equatorial country, she buds quite early. The stretching takes place quickly for more than 1 week(x2.5). Buds grow rapidly within 6 weeks. The last week was really difficult when it rained for a week, but fortunately there was no sign of mold. It takes more week to dry. 25.5g dry is a good result for an auto strain that grows outdoors. THANKS FOR WATCHING.

8/12 D29 Ponytailing finish results were good. Plants spreading out nicely and switching to HPS as 2 are in flower and looks like all in a day or so. Ceila is just huge and the rest not far behind really. Update: Next feed biobloom/biogrow/si/rchrg think they will enjoy the extra nuets just a gut feeling but I really want to see how large these may get on organics so give em what I can. Light to HPS at 600w and I think they are ready for the flowering stretch to begin in a few days. 8/14 Secondary feed - retrain Becky due to growth just leaf tucking the rest 8/15 D32 Site not letting me comment pics so... in order of the uploaded pics In inches: Ceila - 19x19x11.5 Becky - 17x18x12 Deb - 15x17x12 Anna - 15x14x12 Canopy is flat only Becky is really trained and they are doing exactly as we wished. BioBizz is fantastic I am seeing explosive consistent growth on all 3 grows, so aint no coinkydink 8/16 Going to be careful here adding a fourth fan for the underside and having my wife help with keeping an eye on the leaves for signs of danger. Try not to get blindsided by something we have haven't seen yet. 8/17 Raised lights and will be keeping a close eye on temps as this strain is susceptible to heat and some leaf curling is noticable. Ceila needed extra water, she just a big girl, so got an extra liter this morning. The others are fine. Looking forward to the new flowering ten next month, going to need that 4x4 space.

Watering only every 3 days or so has become the norm. I am very curious to see how this strain will turn out!

🌸 Lava Cake – Week 5 Flower Report 🌸 We’ve reached Week 5 of flower — such an important and defining stage in the Lava Cake journey. Both phenos are shining, evolving beautifully, and filling the room with life and energy. It’s a week full of growth, observations, and some lessons to share. ⸻ 🌿 Current Status • Both plants are looking healthy, vigorous, and branching strong. • White hairs (pistils) continue to thicken and spread — the first signs of real bud-building. • Leaves show some spots, likely a touch of CalMag deficiency. This is not uncommon at this stage, as the plants’ demands for calcium and magnesium rise sharply during heavy metabolic activity. To support them, I’ve kept the full nutrient recipe steady this week and reintroduced Aptus All-in-One Liquid to strengthen the nutritional foundation and bounce them back quickly. ⸻ 💧 Nutrient Recipe (Week 5) • Aptus Regulator – cell wall support & stress resistance • Aptus CalMag Boost – to address spotted leaves and support photosynthesis • Aptus All-in-One Liquid – reintroduced this week to balance the base nutrition and help recovery from early deficiency signs • Plagron Power Buds, Sugar Royal & Green Sensation – pushing bud development, resin, and flavor complexity ⚠️ Note on feeding adjustments: This week we removed Top Booster from the mix. While it’s a great stimulator during certain flower stages, running it alongside Power Buds, Sugar Royal, and Green Sensation risks overlapping too much PK. Too much of a good thing can cause stress, salt build-up, or nutrient lockouts. By keeping the recipe focused and balanced, the Lava Cakes can thrive without overload. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment • Temperatures: Lower this week (relief!) thanks to cooling efforts. • Humidity: Still running a little high, sometimes hovering beyond the ideal. • Airflow: Two 6-inch exhausts + intake, all carbon filtered. This, along with fans inside, should keep the air moving and avoid stagnant moisture pockets. ⚠️ Note: Higher humidity at this stage can invite mold or mildew risks, but with strong airflow and constant air renewal, we’re reducing the chances. If issues arise, we’ll face them directly and adjust. ⸻ 🎥 Media Update This week includes: • Outside photoshoots – capturing their beauty under LED light. • Close-ups – showing detail of leaves, bud sites, and trichome sparkle starting to appear. • Video clips – giving a fuller view of the room, the setup, and how the girls are thriving. ⸻ 🔄 Quick Recap for New Readers From seed in the Cannakan ➝ early veg under Black Series LED ➝ transplant into 11L fabric pots with Aptus super soil base ➝ branching and stretching under TrollMaster-controlled environment ➝ to now, Week 5 of flower, where the Lava Cakes are stacking up and turning into queens. Each step has been intentional: careful watering from below to build root strength, dialing in nutrients, setting up airflow, and slowly stabilizing environment. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect (and Not to Expect) Expect: • Continued flower stacking and calyx swelling over the next two weeks. • Aroma development beginning to intensify. • Slight yellowing or spotting on older leaves (normal as energy redirects to flowers). Not to Expect: • Full bulk yet — this comes in the later weeks, especially 6–8. • Perfect leaves everywhere — in flower, the plant focuses on buds, not flawless foliage. ⸻ 🌎 Closing Thoughts Week 5 is about listening and responding. The Lava Cakes showed us some leaf spots, and in return, we adjusted by reintroducing All-in-One Liquid while simplifying the booster recipe. Removing Top Booster avoids nutrient overlap and keeps the focus on a clean, balanced mix. This isn’t just about correcting deficiencies — it’s about preparing them for the heavier bloom demands to come. With lower temperatures, steady airflow, and a carefully tuned recipe, the girls are thriving. Every day brings more white hairs, more structure, and more anticipation for what’s ahead. ⸻ 🔬 Science Spotlight: Nutrient Antagonism One of the biggest hidden challenges in mid-flower is nutrient antagonism — when too much of one element blocks the uptake of another. • Excess phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) (often from bloom boosters) can interfere with calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) absorption. This can show up as leaf spotting, rust marks, or weakened stems even if those nutrients are technically present in the soil. • By removing Top Booster this week, we reduced the PK load and allowed CalMag supplementation to actually reach the plant without being locked out. • Balance always beats excess. The goal is steady, accessible nutrition, not maxing out one element. This principle is key to avoiding deficiencies during bloom: feed enough, but not too much of any one thing. ⸻ 🔬 Trichome Spotlight If you look closely at the close-ups this week, you’ll notice the first tiny crystals beginning to coat the flowers and nearby leaves. These are trichomes — microscopic resin glands that play a central role in the plant’s defense, flavor, and potency. ✨ What are trichomes? Trichomes are specialized structures on the plant’s surface that produce and store secondary metabolites: • Cannabinoids (like THC, CBD, CBG) • Terpenes (the aromatic compounds that give unique smells and flavors) • Flavonoids (contributing to color, taste, and subtle effects) Essentially, trichomes are the plant’s biochemical factories. 🌿 Why are they appearing now? In early flower, the plant begins to shift its energy from vegetative growth to reproduction and protection. Trichomes serve several evolutionary purposes: • Protection from UV light – the resin acts like sunscreen. • Pest deterrence – sticky, bitter compounds discourage insects. • Moisture regulation – resin helps buffer against stress. That’s why, right as buds begin to stack, you see an explosion of these glittering glands. 🔮 What to expect as they develop? • Density will increase week by week, eventually frosting the buds and sugar leaves. • Color will change: clear → cloudy/milky → amber. These stages are often used to decide harvest timing. • Aroma will intensify as terpenes concentrate, bringing out Lava Cake’s dessert-like profile. 🍯 The chemistry inside • Terpenes – molecules like limonene (citrus), myrcene (earthy), and caryophyllene (spicy). They don’t just shape aroma; they influence the entourage effect, modulating how cannabinoids feel. • Flavonoids – often overlooked, but they add subtle notes to flavor and can have antioxidant properties. • Cannabinoids – still forming now, but ramping up in mid-to-late flower. 🌸 Why this matters Seeing trichomes appear in such numbers this early is a sign of plant health and genetic quality. It means the Lava Cakes are channeling their energy toward flower defense and resin production — exactly what we want in a premium run. From here, it’s all about nurturing them without stress so trichomes can fully mature, delivering not just potency, but flavor and aroma complexity at harvest.They’re queens in the making — and with patience, love, and attention, they’ll reward us with something truly special. 🌸✨ 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

This girl is cruising along no issues. She smells really strong and is already frosty!

Happy evening to all of you Brothers and sisters farmers We are starting with the washing away all the nutrients absorbed until today .... Powerful and dominant plant reached and crossed the height meter with hard and resistant stems like a tree Wonderful smells and colors amazing Solid gems like diamonds Glue only beautiful glue .... * I hope you like the track .... I dedicate it to a person to me very expensive that I no longer have the opportunity to meet again! Happy and abundant harvesters for everyone

Plucked a few more leaves but other than that just feed them this week including bloom. Also gave them some rice starch (from boiled rice water collection) on day 42 as a boost for the microbes 👍 Turned the IR off now and turned up to 34000lux

J attend de voir combien je vais trouver sur la.balance . A savoir que j avais réalisé une croissance plus courte que les autres filles . Mais elle m a donné des buds super denses et super givrée elle sent magnifiquement bon . Je ferais une Maj apres l avoir manucuré et

Vorwort: Die Bilder dieser Woche sind leider nichts Besonderes geworden. Hab vergessen während des Gießens vergessen zu knipsen, und die Aufnahmen danach sind sehr schwach. Trotzdem dokumentiere ich sie, was wichtig ist. 🌿 Tag 29-35 - Lichtflut, Höhenflüge und erste süße Düfte Ich, Banana Purple Punch, bin diese Woche förmlich explodiert. Jeden Morgen war ich ein Stück höher, als hätte mich über Nacht jemand heimlich auseinandergezogen. Das Licht bei 100 Prozent hat mich wachgeküsst und irgendwie konnte ich dann nicht mehr aufhören. Meine Triebe arbeiten hart, meine Energien schießen überall hin. Ich weiß, der Gärtner schaut schon kritisch nach oben. Vielleicht beruhige ich mich bald. Vielleicht auch erst später. 🍌 Ich, Purple Haze, strecke mich nur so weit, wie es Sinn ergibt. Nicht zu viel, nicht zu wenig. Meine Höhe passt, meine Breite trägt mich gut. Keine Rennen, keine Dramen, nur ein ruhiger Übergang. Die Energie fühlt sich stabil an, ausgeglichen. Genau mein Ding. Wir beiden Lemon Cherry Cookies erleben gerade zwei völlig verschiedene Wochen. Ich, die Schnellere, fühle mich wie auf einem Marathonstartpunkt. Die Blüten schieben kräftig, weiß und deutlich. Mein Inneres summt, als hätte ich endlich begriffen, wohin die Reise geht. Licht, Wasser und Raum greifen perfekt ineinander. Und ich, die Gemütlichere, nehme das alles Schritt für Schritt. Warum rennen, wenn man auch sauber arbeiten kann? Meine Spitzen zeigen Blüte, aber ganz kontrolliert. Ich schaue mir alles erst einmal an und wähle meinen eigenen Rhythmus. 🍋🍒 Tag 34: Die ersten Düfte werden spürbar, zart und frisch. Tag 35: 4 Liter Wasser. Der Boden dankt es, wir auch. Die Woche war hell, laut und voller Bewegung. Jede von uns reagiert anders, jede setzt ihren eigenen Akzent. Die Blüte hat angefangen zu sprechen, noch leise, aber unverkennbar.

Week 1 : Six Shooter Biotabs running 3 six shooters one of them is in the biotabs line up, so far very easy although you do have to prepare a bunch of stuff, for the next four weeks it's nothing else so there's that which i nice. Basically, mixed everything acording to the label, i think i didnt add enough orgatrex but hopefully that's fine, just been struggling to keep the seedlings at the right humidity so i've been spraying them. Since i had the boom boom spray i decided to use it, and since i had so much of it left i decided to keep using it as a humidifier. so basically the seedlings oscillate from 20°C and 66RH to 23 and 63RH. giving a vpd of 0,5 to 1.1 depending on the wetness of the medium. the biotabs strains are all moist not wet (like the other pots) after one day , going to let it dry out then 2 more L per biotabs pot basically. i wonder how this little thing can grow into a plant sometimes 😂 that's it 🚀 Was a bit worried about this on as it really didnt like the wet medium and overwatering, doing much better now, main thing is don't panic and don't water before the medium is actually dry. 🚀

Holka se srovnala a má už výhonek 4. patra. Dnes jsem přesazoval do 15l textilního květináče, teď je lehce povadlá tak uvidím jak jí to sedne a cca za 3 dny budu topovat 5. patro.

Now that you are all caught up, we are in week three a flower. I just gave them a top dress feet of Gaia green just blown because I still have just a little bit up all purpose in there but other than that I look at them every morning, give a big smile and turn on their favorite Mosark album

30.04.2025 Day 58 Not much to report. Chemdawg still stretching. The other are fatten up and producing nice trichomes becoming visible to naked eye. Smell are strong. I can tell which one is tropicana cookies now base on the heavy citrus smell. So by process of elimination the other one has to be banana purple punch. I'm going to add final part solution today by mixing it with 5 liter of water and adding to reservoirs. All except Chemdawg.

On veg the temperature is so high ≈32-35Cº.

Encore 4 semaines avant la ligne d'arrivée.

I figured nothing could go wrong with 50% amber / 50% milky trichomes. Harvest day, Medical Mass: Huge buds and no traumas but got bud rot because of too high temps. The best I've ever smoked. Harvest day, Pineapplex Express: Got an early trauma when transplanting but handled it beautifully. Potent smoke. Pretty satisfied for a first grow, and I have a lot of changes for my 2nd grow!

All same strain but growing differently due to different environments. Humidity issues resolved with dehumidifier. Runt had to be pruned and still so many buds. Single GG in tent is short and stocky ... Nice crystals. They smell wonderful.
