Steady growth. Start of week at 9.5 cm. Slight leaf issues. Too much nutes. Fed water at end of week...

Buds and sugar leaves started to get more and more trichomes. Some pistils are turning amber/brown, mostly in the tallest colas. I'm slightly worried about the distance between lights / flowers (~16-17"), but so far they don't present any symptoms of light burning. There's no vertical room left to bring the lights up, so I really can't do anything in that matter, just hope they have stopped growing lol. I'm also about a bit worried about the amount of leaves. Not sure if I should do some prunning or leave as it is.

*Increased ppm from 1050 to 1100. *growth is pretty big but not great. *cold temps are the problem at the moment. Seems to stay wet for to long.

Week 5 Report: Big Cheese Auto Blossoms into Flower Power! Hi Guys! Buckle up for another thrilling chapter in the saga of our green queen, the Big Cheese Auto. Week 5 marks her grand entrance into the world of flowering, and oh, the excitement is palpable! Big shoutout to Seeds Mafia for the genetics that keep surprising and delighting us. As we transition into this flowering phase, it's like witnessing a well-choreographed dance, and our Big Cheese Auto is stealing the spotlight. 🌸✨ The Autopot system is proving to be a game-changer. She's sipping on her own schedule, and the results are nothing short of spectacular. It's like having a master chef in the kitchen, deciding when and how much to feast on those nutrients. Now, let's dive into the nutrient symphony: Regulator (0.15ml/L): Our humidity maestro is still grooving. The dance with Mono-silicic acid (Si) continues, ensuring a stress-free environment as our star transitions into flowering. P-Boost: A round of applause for the latest addition to our nutrient crew. P-Boost Provides a large amount of organic phosphorus (P)and brings a powerhouse of organic nitrogen (N) and highly concentrated L-amino acids. It's like giving our plant a secret weapon for flowering. Calmag (0.25ml/L): Calmag, our guardian of structural integrity, remains vigilant. Strong stems, sturdy leaves – the foundation for the floral fireworks that lie ahead. All-in-One Liquid (1ml/L): The NPK trio continues to be the backbonebut (just for this week), but here's a twist - the soil pellets are now in play. It's like the stage is set, and our Big Cheese Auto is the leading lady in this nutrient-filled drama. Start Boost (0.25ml/L): The roots are thriving, thanks to Start Boost. It's like a construction crew working tirelessly to ensure a solid foundation for the upcoming bloom spectacle.(i will stop this ) Topbooster: Introducing the bloom and maturation stimulator that's about to revolutionize our green symphony. Topbooster is the 100% organic maestro with a concoction of active ingredients that scream "flower power." L-amino acids, polysaccharides, trace elements (B, Fe, Mo), bloom-promoting natural plant stimulants, and vitamin complexes from natural fermentation — it's a holistic approach to enhancing the flowering response. How Topbooster Works: It's a botanical ballet! L-amino acids: Leading the floral development and maturation charge. Trace elements (B, Fe, Mo): Assisting in the intricate dance of floral development. Polysaccharides (sugars): Stimulating nutrient uptake and microlife populations, like a sweet rhythm for our plant. Vitamins: The conductors of hormone production. Gibberellins for shooting, cytokinins for cellular division — it's like the choreography that transforms a bud into a floral masterpiece. Together, P-Boost and Topbooster form the dynamic duo, ensuring our Big Cheese Auto doesn't just flower but does so with a grandeur that elevates the end product's quality. Larger fruit, more fibers, resins, and sugars — it's like a recipe for cannabis opulence. Aptus Mycor Mix: The underground alliance with mycorrhizal fungi is strengthening. Picture it like a secret society beneath the soil, enhancing nutrient uptake, and fortifying our plant's foundation. NutriSpray by Aptus Holland: The foliar spa treatment continues. The microelement cocktail is like a VIP party for our leaves, creating a protective shield against nutrient deficiencies. 🚿🍃 Training Update: The leaf-bending symphony continues. It's like sculpting a masterpiece, preparing the canvas for the grand artwork that lies ahead. And the best is yet to come - defoliation is on the horizon. Clearing out the clutter, allowing her to shine from the inside out. TDS and pH: Our numbers are looking sweet with a TDS of 390 and a pH of 6.0. It's like hitting the perfect notes in a musical composition, creating an environment where our Big Cheese Auto can thrive. As we transition into the next chapter, the anticipation is building, armed with the botanical brilliance of P-Boost and Topbooster. It's not just cultivation; it's an artistic expression of nature's bounty. Flowering is like the crescendo in a symphony, and our green maestro is ready to lead the orchestra.

Friendly reminder: all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only <3 <3 <3 Growers love to you all <3 <3 <3 P.S- I must extend my sincerest apologies for the missing video reports. Regrettably, Grow Diaries is still facing some technical issues that are preventing me from uploading them. Rest assured, as soon as the situation is resolved, I'll share those videos to give you an even closer look at this fascinating journey.( i can only upload 100 Mb files with is not enough for the most type of videos i do, and even the photos is hard sometimes )

Hey all sorry for the late update. Got really busy with work and just wasnt uploading. I had to cull phat Gary cause she was a genetic herm, I’m talking pollen sacks all the way up the main stem. I’ve seen a few stress sacks here and there on the lowers but nothing like this. I added a video of it so you might know what to look out for. It’s my first experience with exotic genetix and while I have heard of them having herm issues before, I have never had anything quite like phat Gary. But, on the other hand, this Gary Poppins #2 is the best smelling plant I’ve ever had. She smells like a straight strawberry soda, just this very fizzy strawberry scent. It’s unreal. Gary Poppins #1 has a similar terp profile, but not as loud and she’s frosty as ever. Both the perm marker s1’s are identical. Both look exactly like the perm marker flower I’ve bought from seed junky in the past. Very lime green buds with light oranges hairs. Smells just like a permanent marker. Couldn’t be happier with how this run is going, well except Phat Gary. Still haven’t decided on Exotic Genetix yet. I guess we will wait and see how Blueberry Gary comes out, she’s currently in week 6 veg. Shout out to the mad scientist Jbeezy though, this perm marker is unreal. When I saw he was releasing s1’s I couldn’t believe it. Gonna wash this entire run for some fresh frozen. I would absolutely love to get this Gary Poppins #2 smell to transfer to some live rosin. Will update this when we finish and I’ll make a diary for blueberry Gary and Gastro pop from compound genetics when I get a chance. Until then, happy growing all Day: 52F - Week 8 🌡️:79 Fahrenheit 💦:50% 💡:75% @ 14 inches

👉Alrighty Then👈 👉Apple And Banana 👈 So we had some real nice growth this , had to do a little leaf management👈 Low Stress Training to pull the lower branches out ....

Just harvested last night so will come back on in next couple of week to review!! No estimates on yield as yet. But the smell is definitely pungent lemon and sweet smell. Can’t wait to try the end product!!

So far so good, she is growing fast. 4 inches taller in only 3 days. On day 21 I defoliated plant #2 ( 3 gallon pot ) as shown in picture. Removed 4 fan leaves as they were touching other areas blocking light and air flow. It also looks only days away from flowering so have introduced bloom as well as a little cal mag to my nutrients. Voodoo juice & b52 will no longer be in my nute regime after this last feed. On day 21 i Fed 2 litres to the 5 gallon pot and 1.5 litres to the 3 gallon pot. Day 24 Trying out some LST on 1 plant as shown in picture. Pots were light again so gave a very weak nute feed and Ph'd to 6 to try bring it down a little as the run of was 7. They seem to be thriving and are thirsty.

🌿 Week 3 – Transplant Week – Lava Cake (Zamnesia Seeds) 🍰 Grower: Dog Doctor Pheno Selection: Lava Cake #1 & #2 Pots: 11L Amnesia Fabric Pots Light: Future Off – Black Series 600 Environment: Dual air systems (TrolMaster + Spider Farmer) Feeding: Hand-watering (for now) Monitoring: TrolMaster ecosystem (in progress) ⸻ 🌱 Transplant Time – Rooted, Ready, and Rising This week marked a major milestone: our two selected phenos, Lava Cake #1 and #2, were officially transplanted into 11-liter Amnesia fabric pots. The girls are thriving, roots are pristine white and full of life, and the energy in the tent is buzzing with potential. We celebrated the moment properly—with photos in the studio, of course. They looked so beautiful, they deserved the spotlight. 📸 We’ll try this again next week, before they grow too big to carry! ⸻ Why Fabric Pots? We chose Amnesia fabric pots for their root-focused benefits: • Air-pruning the roots naturally, preventing circling and encouraging a healthy root ball • Increased oxygen to the root zone, supporting microbial activity and faster nutrient uptake • Better drainage, reducing the risk of overwatering • Durability & sustainability—washable and reusable Fabric pots turn the container into a living zone that breathes with the plant. And now, these queens have the space they need to express themselves fully. ⸻ 🌿 Soil Mix & Nutrient Support We prepared a rich, bio-balanced super soil transplant mix, boosted with Aptus Holland amendments: 🔄 Transplant Mix: • Super soil base • Aptus Mycor-Mix – inoculates roots with beneficial mycorrhizae • Aptus Micro-Mix – promotes microbial diversity and root health • Aptus Substrate Buffer Powder – stabilizes pH and nutrient flow 💧 Feed Mix (per liter): • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml (stress support & nutrient flow) • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml (structure & balance) • Aptus All-in-One Liquid – 1 ml (base nutrition) • Aptus Start Booster – 2 ml (root & shoot stimulation) 💦 Water Stats: • pH: 5.83 • EC: 1.01 • Water Temp: 18.5°C We continue to bottom-water—placing the solution in trays and letting the girls draw it in themselves. This promotes downward root expansion and avoids oversaturation at the crown. ⸻ 🌀 Airflow & Environmental Control With multiple strains in one tent, proper airflow and environmental balance are essential. • 2x 6-inch Extractors (one TrolMaster Aerofan, one Spider Farmer) • 1x 6-inch Intake Fan • All fans are filtered with carbon filters to purify air and manage odor, even early on. Prevention is key. The Aerofan is controlled by the TrolMaster system, giving real-time response to temp and humidity. The Spider Farmer fan is managed by a GGS controller, running parallel automation. • Room Temp: 27°C • Humidity: 57.4% • CO₂: 632 ppm • Light: Full-spectrum from the Black Series 600—compact, clean, and consistent. This environment isn’t just “good”—it’s being crafted as a living ecosystem. One that will evolve into semi-automation, allowing us to trust and fine-tune from the TrolMaster app. ⸻ 🔍 What This Week Is (and Isn’t) What it is: • A foundational week: transplant, root expansion, environmental balance • A chance to observe and support the transition without stress • A moment to shift from “starter energy” to serious vegetative growth What it isn’t: • A week for heavy training—we’re letting them root down before any top work • A time to overwater—bottom-feeding keeps everything stable • A race—slow roots = strong fruits later on ⸻ 💬 Final Words Our Lava Cakes are happy, lush, and ready to grow into queens. With their roots now in rich, living soil, and the tent gradually evolving into a precision-controlled jungle, we’re laying the groundwork for a clean, healthy, and joyful flowering run ahead. More studio photos soon. More lessons too. This isn’t just a grow, it’s a journey of discovery, shared with love.

End od week 6

Still at work, sorry bout the picture quality the old lady is taking pics for me, but it is much appreciated either way she could tell me to fuck off 😂😝 mould is starting on these girls so far not to bad from what she tells me. She was out cuttin it out this evening. We survived hurricane teddy without any damage!!!!! Wooooooo yea baby! One more week of work and I’ll be heading back home!

Week 11 has passed. Weather has been amazing as predicted, with temperatures reaching 30°C on some days, but pas 3 days have been milder, around 20-22°C. Flowers still seem to slightly increase in size, and the smell is great. Almost no glassy trichromes anymore: vast majority is (slightly) milky I'd say, and around 10-15% is getting amber. One of these days, I'll put her in a dark place for 48 hours to give the THC level a last good push before harvesting. D77: there she goes, final 48 hours have started! I'm putting her in a closet during the day so she stays at a dark spot for twose last two days. After that it's harvesting time! D79: Harvested tonight! No molds or anything, only a small caterpillar that had found his shelter in the flowers. Cut it out, impact on the flowers was negligible. D4 of drying: Plant is drying out slowly, humidity levels have been around 70-80% as weather has been quite bad the past few days. Also, all branches are all still attached to the main stem, which slows down the drying process. To mitigate the humidity, I put a fan to keep air circulating, which is successful up until now. Drying will probably still take a bit longer. Smell has definitely decreased while drying, so after that I'm planning on curing it a few weeks. Buds are not the densest, but definitely not bad either! I'm really happy with the results given that she was grown outdoors and using only granular organic nutrients. D7 of drying: decided to cut the nugs from the branches. Definitely still not sufficiently dry, but we're getting there. Large branches were still a little bendy but quite stiff already. Smaller bud branches we're almost snappable. Storing them in a room with 60% humidity now, where they can dry out some more. They're currently weighing 80g, don't know how much will still evaporate and how much of the weight the branches account for. Anyone has an idea on what I might expect? I'll be really glad if it's anything around 30 to 35g!

Week 18 Daylight 12h40 - ☀️7h40/20h20🌙 🌈Weather changed a lot during this 2 week, alternating sun and rain with medium temperature: low in the morning 8°C and 22/24°C the afternoon. Cold wind: Autumn is coming soon! 🍃 This is the middle of the flowering cycle for 2 plants and the beginning for the others; and it’s harder than I imagined. Interminable war against pests: caterpillars and leafminer flies (+ guest :aphids). However the environment is clean, there is some sticky traps, ventilation and preventives treatments (Neem Oil, Garlic/Laurel) but infestation are a recurring problem 😩. Majors reasons of the proliferation are the hot temperatures in greenhouse, the quasi inexistants natural predators, humidity, plants proximity. September is the reproduction period of the cabbage looper: a butterfly which lays eggs on plants giving some hungry caterpillars. Some others pests are attracted by the nitrogen added in soil (batguano) I did a serious defoliation, continue to check the plants morning and night to catch intruders, sprayed regularly with Neem oil. For the moment the flowering continues. -Brake Pad Breath: plant has definitely changed of physiognomy, branches are covered by a lots of resinous flowers with a pretty good smell. Indica dominance. Around 3 or 4 weeks till the harvest. It will be long: the plant is a victim of pests and caterpillars and lots of leaves are damaged. -Flash Back#2: elegant plant, pretty good flowering since 3 weeks. Globally healthy despite of the pests aggression. Sativa dominance with long internodes distance and a vigorous stretch. -GMO x Zombie Kush: same difficulties against predators, late flowering, just initiated the flowering process but in a good way. -Royal Moby: the tallest one; around 170cm, not really adapted to dimensions of the growing space and not discrete. Plants was really shocked during the first wave of pests and after the sunburn. Late flowering, Sativa. 💦Watering : 2L/plants/48h -grower Master Floraison + Enyme -grower Master Floraison + pk 13/14 -grower Master Floraison + Cal/Mag

Estamos ya a falta de 15..20 dias

Watermelon auto is hurting this week. The neem oil spray is always so harsh on my plants. I am trying a different a way of spraying them, spray, wait a half hour, and rinse off. But leave on the under side of leaves. Since they like to hide there. Hopefully it will help. I have not seen new ones on this plant. They were on another. It has been a horrible year for issues in my grows.

The Canopy was so full and i decide today to make another Defoliation for better Light Penetration. I have just 11-16 Days left for the original Harvest Date. Just hope that i don’t get some Bananas now somewhere in the Buds 😌😃 better to make it right the last two times. But i don’t want to take to much In Future Runs i know now how to do it Only give Water with PH 6.8 until harvest. No Nutrients anymore Maybe wait one or two Weeks longer to get bigger Buds and more Couchlock Effect from it

23.04.2025 Day 51. God Dang these ladies are beginning to pack a punch. In the past week the chemdawg has strected. No smell yet on chemdawg. As for the others, the flower are terping up. The struggling one has begun showing some nice purple flowers and smells like bubblegum. Another one smells sour like a green or unriped mango and the next one just smells sweet like candy. Flowers are swelling and begun to put on weight. During the past week I topped up reservoirs with nutrient solution but today i changed out reservoir with fresh nutrient solution. No training was done This week.
