Hey there, Welcome to another week in the tent. All plants are proceeding well, only thing is the gelato leaves are very light green in places bordering on yellow. I have added a little exra N nutes to that plant to try and remedy. Other than that its plain sailing. Very easy going plants. Might just be me, but im sure that the QB has bought out the pistils sooner than the HPS did, but who knows. Light is doing very well, ecstatic with the upgrade. Tried to upload a vid, but getting site errors, so maybe later it will be up. Happy Growing.

CASH EXPRESS 03.01.2025 Tag 44 / 19.02.2025 Die 6 Woche ist erfolgreich erreicht! Das Umtopfen war erfolgreich es gab keine großen Schäden an den Wurzeln. Zwischenzeitlich habe ich noch mal gedüngt und einen Wurzelaktivator in das Wasser hinein gegeben. Gerne nehme ich Ratschläge von der Community an.

Day 50 - 1L water with calmag (ph 6.5)(91-95 cm) Day 51 - 1L water with half dose according to biobizz schedule (ph 6.3)(91-95 cm) Day 52 - 1L water with calmag (ph 6.4)(91-95 cm) Day 53 - No water (92-96 cm) Day 54 - 1.3L water with half dose according to biobizz schedule (ph 6.3)(92-96 cm) Day 55 - 1L water with calmag (ph 6.4)(92-97 cm) Day 56 - 1L water with half dose according to biobizz schedule (ph 6.3)(92-97 cm)

I have been very busy over the last week so I haven't had much time to do any documentation. There isn't much going on at the moment so you aren't missing out on much. There have been a couple of leaves on this plant showing some strange markings. Nothing that is uniform nor reoccurring. I think these defects I show in the video are localized to just two or three leaves so I am not too concerned at the moment. I will keep an eye on her for the time being. Other than that, the plant looks really happy and is growing very well. Good color all around and getting very bushy.

🍰 Lava Cake – Week 8 (4th Week Flower) | The Bulking Phase The fourth week of flower has arrived, and both Lava Cakes are showing their full potential. Their structure is strong, pistils are snow-white and thick, and bud sites are stacking beautifully. This is the week where the promise of flowers begins to turn into visible production, every day, you can almost see them swelling. ⸻ 🔬 What’s Happening in Week 4 Flower By now, stretch is nearly finished. The plants are redirecting their energy: • From vertical growth ➝ into flower bulk. • From nitrogen demand ➝ into phosphorus & potassium demand. • From building structure ➝ into packing density. This transition is crucial: the roots, the soil microbiology, and the nutrient profile all work together to feed flowers instead of stems and leaves. What we see this week: • Thick, healthy pistils at every site. • Calyx swelling beginning, the first signs of true bud stacking. • Leaves still dark and strong — proof of balanced nutrition. • No stress, no burn, no deficiencies. ⸻ 🥤 Feeding Strategy – Why Boosters Matter Now This week, we removed the Aptus All-in-One Liquid, despite it being in the photo. The reason: the soil’s super soil base + slow-release pellets still carry enough NPK to support the girls. Overfeeding at this stage could risk tip burn or nutrient lockout — and we want the roots to stay clean and active. Instead, the focus is on precision boosters: Recipe (per L water): • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml → strengthens cell walls, stress protection, and nutrient uptake efficiency. • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml → keeps calcium steady (critical for bud structure) and magnesium strong (photosynthesis & chlorophyll). • Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml → directs plant energy into flower production. • Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml → provides organic nitrogen + enzymes to stimulate terpene development. • Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml → PK booster + biostimulant, promoting dense, resin-rich flowers. Why this mix? • Because the NPK in soil is still sufficient → boosters fill in the extra needs of flowering without overwhelming the root zone. • Because boosters provide specialized roles → each product targets a specific physiological process. • Because balance prevents problems → overdoing NPK at week 4 could backfire, while focused boosters guide the plants safely into mid-bloom. ⸻ 🌡️ Environmental Notes • Temps: Still ~31–34°C until AC arrives. High, but plants are adapting. • Humidity: 55–60%, VPD ~1.8–2.0 kPa — slightly high, but still manageable. • Watering Rhythm: Once substrate moisture falls near 19–20%, measured by TrolMaster WCS substrate sensor. This ensures roots get oxygen before each feed. Even under warm conditions, the plants are drinking heavily — proving they are metabolically active and thriving. ⸻ 🌸 What to Expect Next Week (Week 5 Flower) ✅ Expect: • Noticeable bulking → flowers will become rounder, denser, and begin to “stack.” • More pistils → a full carpet of white hairs covering colas. • Aroma development → the first hints of Lava Cake’s dessert-like terpene profile may start releasing. ❌ Not to Expect (yet): • Full frost coverage → heavy trichome production usually comes weeks 5–7. • Final density → buds will continue swelling for several weeks, so patience is key. ⸻ ✨ Closing Thoughts Week 4 flower is the foundation of yield. It’s when the plants finish their stretch, define their bud sites, and begin to convert light, water, and nutrients into the weight and density we harvest later. Our Lava Cakes are in perfect rhythm: • Strong genetics, showing symmetrical growth. • Balanced feeding, keeping roots clean and buds fueled. • Stable environment, with monitoring from TrolMaster guiding every adjustment. From here forward, every day brings visible progress. The journey of seeds to now feels like preparation — this is the beginning of the true show. 🔬 Science Spotlight – The Unsung Heroes: Calcium & Magnesium Many growers focus on NPK during flower, but two “quiet players” — calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) — are just as vital to ensure flowers bulk properly. 🌿 Calcium (Ca): • Strengthens cell walls, making flowers denser and less prone to collapse. • Improves nutrient transport, ensuring phosphorus and potassium (the bloom drivers) actually reach the buds. • Helps roots resist stress in warm environments (like our 31–34°C room). 🌿 Magnesium (Mg): • The central atom in chlorophyll → without magnesium, photosynthesis collapses. • Supports enzyme activity, converting sugars into energy for bud building. • Directly influences terpene production, giving flowers their aroma and flavor. Why CalMag Boost now? • In soil mixes, calcium can sometimes get “locked up” as the pH fluctuates. • With daily watering at slightly acidic pH (5.8–6.0), we guarantee Ca and Mg are immediately available. • This ensures strong, vibrant leaves → which means more energy for flower sites. In short: while NPK builds the skeleton of yield, calcium and magnesium are the glue and spark that hold it all together. Skipping them would weaken the entire flowering process. ✨ Grower’s Analogy: Think of your plant like a construction site: • NPK are the bricks and beams (the main structure). • Calcium is the cement holding every wall together. Without it, the structure would crumble. • Magnesium is the spark plug in the engine — it makes photosynthesis “run” and fuels the work crews building the flowers. No cement, no structure. No spark plug, no engine. That’s why CalMag support is never optional — especially in flower when the demand skyrockets. 🌸 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Looks good

Wow she's grown 24cm this week. I'm getting excited about her! I think she's looking to be a fab plant. Doing well in her fabric pot.

24.04.2026 Ich habe eine wirklich harte Woche hinter mir, aber der Skunk geht es blendend! Sie ist nun schon richtig groß und die Blüten sind in voller Entwicklung. Später werde ich noch ein paar Fotos ergänzen, das Video schon mal vorab. Mittlerweile haben wir prächtiges Wetter, Sonne satt und schön warm, doch nachts rauscht die Temperatur auf fast 0°C ab. Die Skunk scheint es zu mögen 😅. Happy growing 🌸 💜

The Rhino Ryder from @fastbuds is coming along really nice starting to get some buds popping up all over the Strawberry gorilla from @fastbuds is starting to come back from it being stunted for some reason think it mite of been locked out because she definitely doesn't need nutrients that much had to cut her feedings in half to stop nutrient burn

... end of wek 1 and shes tiny in comparisson with the other Ladies except for Sir Jack... well ill give her more time.. i guess. well see abt taht one.. LEaves are symnmetrical tho and no crazy mutations.

Since sprouting above ground I've been top watering RO water until the roots hit the water. I also covered the net pots with reflective film to avoid any light leaking into the rdwc system to avoid any issues later on in the grow. Day 5 - Roots are starting to touch the water so I'm expecting the growth rate to pick up soon 😏 Trol master unit is set up and connected to my light at 40% and on a 18/6 lighting schedule. Very handy unit if I must say. Until the next update

1 week on 12/12 now, no white pistils yet.

Yo guys whats up Check out my videos and lemme know Im trying my best to keep up MY girls are doing very good Im just too busy right now with my son He is 10 months old now and sometimes I have to leave behind the girls thank God I had built over the past months a great setup and I keep improving every time I have budget so it is very kind of you every like you give and every Comment is a blessings for us as a family you guys help us a lot to continue promoting and growing the best medicine in this world, thanks brothers happy growing and keep enjoying our diaries we will keep posting once we get the time and space for sure stay tuned Now this PPM 1000 lowering down to 800/600/400 Until we are done for the remaining weeks Also we stop adding nutes for like 2 weeks now or so We only add water every Day Like 300ml at least to keep them hydrated But for us is best to add one 1.5 liters then wait for them to drain and leave them like that for like 3-4 days until water in the bottom is full absorb this forces the roots to go and drink water which makes the plant grow bigger... I know THESE are autos but you would be impress depending on the genetics of what they're capable of The only thing that really f them up is time They dont go back just forward so yeah Got to be quick Anyways how you doing guys Happy growing thanks for everything

Day 32 - Heater was blowing directly on a couple of the leaves that turned brown. Cut them off. Raised lights up again. I think my development is a little slower than others but I have had a lot of trial and error. Day 33 - added tomato rack for LST. growing nicely. Day 34 - Stopped nutes as I was getting a little leaf burn in lower leaves. Looks good otherwise. Lights are dialed in. Day 35.- This is what too much light looks like. Day 37 - Switched to the grow light. Moved the heater. Growing nicely. Day 38 - Lights dialed in REDUCED water. Stopped watering for 2 days. Day 39 - Full Lights on now. Put more holes in the pot. Draining nicely now.

Plant bothers me because it’s so short and grows huge light blocking leaves. Hard to keep up with but it’s healthy looking

Flipped to flower let's go now... halfway there and I'm so pumped!!! Gave them 72 hours of darkness. Now it time to watch them do what they do!!

* Week 6 Flower Mimosa (1 -2) - 10/8* Both Mimosa's are near harvest about a week left, Lotus CarboFlush will begin this week. Mimosa (1) - 38 Inches - Mimosa (2) - 28 Inches. Trichomes have set in - Pulled off trellis net this week * Pre-Harvest set-up - 10/15* Both plants have been cut down and are drying out accordingly (Day -1) Dry time will be 9-14 days - Dry temps are 60% Humidity - 62 degrees F.

The plant is looking great!! I've done super cropping (hst) with some clips and it's working perfectly!! I think she's starting to go into preflower but at the moment there are no signs of pistiles or strong odour.
