Transplant into 1 gallon plastic pot mycorrhizae for less transplant shock with coco coir had to buffer a brick for 18 hours submerged in calcium after couple days went organic for less of a headache of wasting money on nutrients to make it simple and effective control system 1 plant is showing deficiency working on bring it back to optimal used compost tea with silica , fish fertilizer Neptune , soil recharge every week ph to 5.8-6.0 1 gallon 1 cup water per plant bigger plants get 2 cups want less run off after 2 week to get the calcium out from the buffer solution added 2-84 geia green and 4-4-4 1 tsp per plant of each dry amendment water every day so coco doesn’t get dry roots are healthy on the bottom of gallon pot you see new growth soon thinking of transplanting for better results during flowing stage currently photo and auto soon cross breed some of them during flower for new future projects ,

best cannabis I ever grew and smoked. Others agree. This is a cup winner I would win with no competition. 3 months harvested, 90% consumed. Will run more genetics and future cross, backcross. Feels like energy drinks, positive, 100% youre high and lit, extreme ripped. Smell is slight citrus, this is very sweet tasting and smelling because of my methods of growing. Oozing sticky like an industrial adhesive. Daytime smoke, ripped no couchlock. For heavy daily smoker this is above your level of comprehension, good luck finishing 0.5g session. 10/10 all categories. 4 months after harvest video macro, this is what 40% looks like

This fine lady has entered into flowering with a bang. She is stretching out like a champ!! She is drinking 7 gallons every 2-3 days now. I will likely increase watering to 10 gallons soon enough. I have been spraying with OMRI fungicides every 3-4 days and I haven’t see any issues yet 😎 I may throw a little top dressing down (my own little flowering mix). We will see as the week goes. I can’t wait to see more growth from this sexy lady. 😎🍿🍻🌱

***** Week 5 December 12 to 19, 2020 - Days 29 to 35 from germination ***** Going to call this a veg week at the start. Will see how she progresses in the next two days if we change it to a flower week. She is transitioning but not knowing this strain, she may take a full week to do or may only be a couple of days and she popping hairs everywhere😀 She will tell us......just be patient and watch😳 Either way i expect her to take off in growth over the next 14 days and should be fun to watch based on other diaries. She has a great canopy at the start of the week and her branches have grown laterally very well.........giving her the width to open up and let more light down the middle in the weeks ahead👍 She has reacted very well to LST and her side branches have shot up! Noticed at watering today that her main stem is getting a good girth on her already as well.........reminds me of my Zkittelz which was another Fast Buds awesome run!!!! She is set up to do very well in the days ahead. Leaf colour is spot on and we have stoped veg nutrients already. This week we will be stepping up the watering I can tell and likely move to daily watering by the end of the week.......again, if the pots heavy - don’t water - let the roots breath baby😀 Will be slowly working up the light intensity in the days ahead as well.....might be next week though. She has not been to excited about extra light intensity and had to keep it calm and under 20,000 because going over that caused her to react. If she is drooping, then back down the power or increase the distance👍 Slow and easy.......slow and easy.......she is happy and we move forward with week 5.......Flower is upon us and she is looking good😀 Little more daily detail......... Dec 12/20, Day 29 - dry out day - basically left the auto girls alone today. - she is forming an even canopy......just caught my today how she is coming together👍 Dec 13/20, Day 30 - 2L watering with MagNifiCal @ 1ml, Microbes @ 2ml = 100ppm and 5.7pH - giving her a plain watering but since RO water added some CalMag and their allotment of microbes for the week!! - adjust LST on the girl again and was able to get further out and keep pulling her down. She letting me get her wide👍 - she is really looking nice today!! - keep it going girl......she is going to explode with growth this week and next 💪👊 Dec 14, Day 31 - her pot was fairly dry in evening. - 2L feed with Micro, Bloom, Magnifical, Velokelp, Natures Candy @ 1.5ml = 800ppm and 5.8pH - she has some runoff but didn't check the numbers tonight. - her leaves were more droopy than expected in the evening so I think she is looking for nutrients today. Dec 15/20, Day 32 - she is feeding well and the pot is lighter again today. - 1L RO water with enzymes Komplete @ 2ml = 45ppm and 5.6pH......chose not to adjust it. - enzymes to help clean up the root zone and timing it flower change and nutrients. - she is forming buds and have switched this week to a flower week from Veg👍👊 - moved ties further out a couple of branches and pulled a couple down further. Dec 16/20, Day 33 - dry out day to let the pots get really light. - want to make sure the pH stays in line so drying out a little more today. Dec 17/20. Day 34 - 2L watering with RO water and Rhinoskin, Magnifical, Microbial Mass @ 2ml - 350ppm and 5.8pH. - pot is lighter today and don't think I should go another day so feeding today. - she is happy and all her leaves are up and her canopy looks good. - I did push her nute levels and a lot of tips are burnt but its all good....not to far over😀 Dec 18/20, Day 35 - dry out day for her today as well. - bringing down the moisture in all of the pots. - she is going to sleep a little early...... She is a very nice looking girl Fast Buds. I have had other strains from FB that also at this point doing well and showing similar characteristics......those runs all ended very well😍.......hoping the trend continues👊🙏

Hello this is the end of week 3 and the beginning of week 4 of flowering. Got in here and did some trimming up a few days ago. Got rid of most of the sucker branches and bottom fanleaves that don't get light. I also trimmed some of the top fanleaves that block the light from reaching into the middle. The more light a bud site gets the bigger the bud... I took a lot off so the plant will slow it's growth for a few day, while it heals... but then the resin production will take off. You can see in the pics the smallest bit of resin starting on the top leaves. OK. Have Fun. Chuck.

Well it's dry and cureing in jars. I ended up with 78 grams of dry sticky buds. Growing this cultivar was a breeze! I mailined her for 8 main kola's and I would say that it was a success. I did however end up with more larf than I would have liked, but I'll be using that for fresh flower rosin in my Rosineer press. This particular pheno did not like her nutrients above a mild strength at all !!! I did flush her 3 times during her life and with good results. The first was to clean and build up of veg nutrients , primarily nitrogen. And the other two times were during flower. I wanted a good transition into flower. I've had a bad habit of thinking that a super dark green plant is what I want in flower. All in all she was a delight to grow. Not to finicky and a forgiving strain imo.

Went from 60 to 90's. First day with humidity....come on rain, give it to me. Leaving the greenhouse wide open so not to overheat. Set the damaged plant in a chained hanging basket to allow sun absorption all day and keep her off the ground for now. The weather is changing into serious growing mode and they love it. Stems are bulking up and holding well against whatever the weather Gods can throw at them. They are adapting to LST very well.

🌿 Lava Cake – Week 6 (2nd Week Flower) | Morphing Into Bloom 🌿 The Lava Cakes are officially stepping deeper into flower mode. Stretch is slowing down, morphology is shifting, the leaves, the stance, the energy of the plants are clearly moving toward bloom. Even without a huge photo set this week, the video walkthrough tells the full story: happy, thriving plants under carefully tuned conditions. ⸻ 📖 A Quick Recap – From Seed to Here • Seedling Stage: Strong germination, started in solo cups with Aptus support, rooting fast. • Veg Growth: Transplanted into fabric pots, lush branching, topped and trained with ease. • Environment Setup: TrolMaster ecosystem dialed in step by step — exhausts, intakes, carbon filters, sensors. • Lighting Evolution: Black Series 600 → Future of Grow LEDs → ThinkGrow Model 1 → now with a Lumatek Zeus Compact Pro 465W and the ThinkGrow ICL-300 added to the lineup. The room is a galaxy of light. • Nutrition Journey: From Aptus start boosters to super soil base, steadily adapted feeding. Now, the recipe grows richer for flowering. Each step has built the foundation for what’s happening now, the Lava Cakes standing strong in early flower. ⸻ 🍽️ This Week’s Feeding Recipe We swapped Start Booster for Top Booster and layered in a new experiment: Plagron trio support. Current Mix (per L water): • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml • Aptus Top Booster – 0.25 ml • Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml • Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml • Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml The Aptus All-in-One Liquid is on pause for now, pellets in the soil still provide baseline nutrition. This new combo is about flower initiation + terpene support + bio-stimulants. It’s partly science, partly intuition — but that’s how discoveries are made. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment This Week • Room Temp: Up to 34°C (AC unit coming soon to stabilize) • Humidity: 60–70% at times • VPD: ~1.89 kPa • Soil Moisture: Watered when dry-down hits 19–20% • Monitoring: TrolMaster WCS Substrate Sensor → reading EC, moisture %, and soil temp straight to Tent-X brain Conditions aren’t perfect, but the girls are handling it gracefully. Warmth makes them thirsty, and with careful irrigation + sensor data, they’re drinking daily and staying strong. ⸻ 💡 Lights of the Garden • Future of Grow LED • ThinkGrow Model 1 and ICL-300 • Lumatek Zeus Compact Pro 465W All tied into the TrolMaster network. The room is now a layered ecosystem of precision — light spread, airflow, and CO₂ distribution tuned for a canopy that can handle big flower production ahead. ⸻ 🐝 A Note for Nature – The Bees Alongside all this controlled technology, we can’t forget the real farmers of the world: bees. A photo this week shows a bee at work, pollinating. Without bees, there would be no flowers, not in the garden, not in the fields, not in the orchards. They are nature’s TrolMaster, carrying genetics forward, balancing ecosystems, ensuring that plants fulfill their destiny. In our indoor rooms, we simulate everything: light, water, air, food. But bees remind us of the real story outside, a world built on quiet pollination, day by day. A fairytale where the smallest wings sustain the biggest cycles of life. So this week, the Lava Cakes bloom under LEDs, and the bees bloom under the sun. 🌞🐝 ⸻ 🚀 Looking Ahead • AC will stabilize the room climate and drop stress levels. • Flowers will set fully, with pistils stacking over the next 7–10 days. • Plagron trio will show its effects, watching closely for flavor, resin, and density changes. • More light power may be added as the canopy demands. ⸻ ✨ Closing Thought: Even on a busy week, even with just a video instead of many photos, the story of these Lava Cakes is alive. They’re moving into flower with strength, under lights, with data guiding them — but always with love as the main ingredient. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together. With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚

Hi guys This week I been tucking and pulling off selective leafs. The stretch is still real the blue cheese has exploded In growth and absolutely stink. I will be doing a major end of the week and removing little nodes that didn't make it. I finished a week flush as I did burn them, but now there back on the nutes, 2ml per litre of bloom and 1ml per litre of top max. I put 25l In the resivour so will see how long that lasts. Both plants are showing calyx and pistils. Looking forward to this one hopefully the nutes will kick in and the dark phoenix will be healthier green again. I will keep you updated thru the week as I expect a few changes in thru the week. Happy growing guys 👌💪💚 Day 16 12-12 So I done a little defoliation, I will be doing final one one day 21. So on there back on nutrients now at half dose. Autopot system is working brilliant. Felling good for this run. I'll keep you all updated if any major changes occur. 💚👊💪

Sticky Orange XXL Automatic from Sensi Seeds is now eight weeks old, and she’s absolutely stunning! The buds are dense, the aroma is strong and delicious, and most importantly — incredibly sticky. We’re using fertilizers from Xpert Nutrients, and I must say, our girl is absolutely loving it! This product is truly high-quality, and we’re seeing excellent results. A huge thank you to Xpert Nutrients for their amazing fertilizer — it’s making our baby so healthy and strong!

Hello. This is the end of week and the beginning of week 9 of veg. I'd like the get these girls out to the green house this week, but it's still getting down to 5* c here at nights. So I'll get the oil filled portable heater out there to keep them warm at night. The exhaust of the dehumidifier will help heat the tent at night too! I've got 8 - 5 gallon plastic bins I'll fill with water to act as a heat sink for the greenhouse tent, to help keep it warm at night. I'm getting the males whittled down. I've got 3 that passed the rub the stem and feel/smell your fingers test. The next test for the males to pass is... I want alot of male flowers on each individual flower stock, that will help make tight hard flowers on the females. In a few more weeks I'll know which is which. One of the females has a smoke smell to it with the rub test. But some of the females have a nice sweet lemony cleaner type of smell to them. Should Be Good... This weeks comic is a little aggressive... So I hope it doesn't offend anyone... It's just art.... I tried to censer it. OK. Be Cool. Chuck.

Alright gents, it’s the 2 week homestretch!!! Gonna start flushing with RO water and that’s it. Want to get rid of all the nutes I’ve been feeding for that nice smooth smoke. pH of 6.2-6.4......temperature usually 72-76 F on the water. I only have be defoliating the bright yellow/white leaves. Today was my last feeding with nutes and I’m excited to see development without nutes. Really happy so far with my first grow. Spent so much time on YouTube, reading articles, and scrolling through so many friggin forums.
