Good week this girl is doing well, varied coloration, the buds are compact, the trichomes are creating color, I can go further until the harvest window to avoid loss of yield.

Ready to 11.30 hour /12.30 hour 😊 light / night👿

From seed to flower I've been impressed with the white fire gelato she's a great strain didn't take much to make her happy and she grew with such life like she was really happy I will agree on that because she smells and taste as great as she looks, the buds was heavy but she held on to them, very strong gelato aroma and taste, very sticky and she is not a big eater.

Monkey berries is finished up in 55 days flushed too 0.0 EC . The colours are so beautiful!! She’s went quite purple for me the trichomes are thick what a killer strain to go it was my first exotic mikes genetics looking forward to the next run with exotic genetics.. stated flushing the slurrican IX yesterday she be chopped by day 60 . One last update coming of the final grow in a week or so .. happy growing

En estas semana se agrego un pk para se terminen de engordar esas flores que estan llenas de tricomas , con un aroma muy fuerte y flores muy bonitas

On day 1 I changed out my reservoir. I lowered my nutes to 650 ppm(25% reduction). I adjusted the PH down to 6.1. My left plant has some burnt tips from either PH shift or over fertilization. My hope is that the lower ppm will help to resolve the issue before it spreads. On day 2 I adjusted the reservoirs PH from 6.3 to 5.9. On day 3 the reservoirs PH is 6.0. I installed my new 200 watt HLG Rspec. I adjusted PPFD readings to 700-1300 PPFD on all tops. On day 4 I adjusted the reservoirs PH from 5.8 to 6.2. On day 5 I adjusted the reservoirs PH from 6.4 to 6.0. I diluted my nutrients in my reservoir by removing one gallon of nutrients from the rez and and adding 2 gallons of straight tap water to the rez. This brought the nute concentration from 770 ppm to 540 ppm as the plants will be entering the ripening stage in a few days and they have too much nitrogen judging by the extremely dark green leaves and burnt leaf tips on some branches of the left side plant. The buds seem slightly smaller then my last run which may be due to an excess of nitrogen and maybe not enough light as some of my tops are taller then the others making proper PPFD challenging. All in all the girls are coming along nice and I look forward to the final weeks of flowering 😀 On day 6 I adjusted the reservoirs PH from 5.9 to 6.2. I think I have halted the nute burn as I haven't seen it progressing any more on the leaves. I will continue to monitor closely during these final weeks. The trichome production is increasing with some trichs on top of colas starting to go cloudy. The pistils are turning brown with roughly 40-50% are turning brown all signs I'm getting closer to the harvest window 😆. I dimmed my light to give 600-1000 PPFD to tops. On day 7 I reduced my temps to 75 during the day and 68 at night. I adjusted the PH of the reservoir from 6.6 to 6.1. My reservoirs ppm was too high so I diluted the rez with 2 gal of tap water. This brought it down to 480ppm. The average ppfd to all 14 tops is 604 with no top receiving more than 1000 ppfd

🍰 Lava Cake – Final Harvest & Smoke Report GrowDiaries | Week 8 (Harvest & Cure) After months of dedication, lessons, and love, our Lava Cake journey comes to a close — and what an ending it is. Both phenotypes reached maturity beautifully, wrapped in dense, resin-coated buds that carry the unmistakable aroma of sweetness and spice. 🌱 From Seed to Harvest — A Journey in Full Bloom Our Lava Cake journey began from seed with two unique phenotypes, both full of potential and personality. Week after week, through careful nutrition, TrolMaster monitoring, and endless observation, we watched them evolve. From the early stages of vegetative vigor, through the lush canopy of mid-flower, and even through the challenges of heat and bud rot, these girls showed true resilience. Each setback taught something — about balance, airflow, humility, and the living rhythm of nature. Both plants were ultimately harvested with respect and gratitude. ⸻ ✂️ Harvest & Trimming After about two weeks of slow drying at 60°F / 60% RH, the branches began to snap — a sure sign the moisture was just right. Each plant was trimmed by hand, carefully and patiently, letting every calyx, pistil, and trichome tell its own story. The buds were dense, sticky, and heavily frosted — a trimmer’s delight. Finger hash collected along the way was pure gold, rich in aroma and bursting with terpenes. Each snip of the scissors felt like sculpting something sacred. Both plants were dried whole, allowing for slower moisture migration and a smoother final cure. ⸻ 🌿 On Trichomes and Harvest Timing We chose to harvest when most trichomes were cloudy, with only a few still clear and very few amber. This moment — just before full amber maturity — is where potency meets flavor at its peak. Why cloudy trichomes? Because that’s when cannabinoids like THC and terpenes are at their maximum activity. Too early, and you lose potency; too late, and THC starts converting into CBN, giving a heavier, sleepier effect. Cloudy trichomes deliver a balanced high — euphoric yet grounding — capturing the essence of the strain in its full potential. ⸻ 🌸 Aroma, Taste & Effects The Lava Cake lives up to her name and lineage. Her rich terpene profile brings waves of sweet baked goods, layered with berry and grape undertones inherited from her Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies x Grape Pie heritage. When smoked, she’s smooth, creamy, and sweet, leaving a lingering flavor on the palate that feels like dessert for the senses. The effects are deeply relaxing, melting away tension and replacing it with calm contentment. This isn’t a beginner’s strain — her high is potent, steady, and full-bodied. A few tokes are enough to drift into a deeply peaceful, happy state. Perfect for evenings, rest days, or moments when the world needs to slow down. ⸻ 🌬️ Curing — Grove Bags & UV Glass Jars After trimming, buds were stored in Grove Bags, which naturally maintain humidity between 55–62%, eliminating the need for daily “burping.” These innovative curing bags use a one-way humidity membrane, preserving terpenes and color while preventing mold. Alongside them, we used black UV-resistant glass jars — perfect for long-term storage, protecting cannabinoids from light degradation and keeping aromas fresh. Together, these methods allowed the buds to cure into perfection — firm, aromatic, and bursting with flavor. ⸻ 🔥 Resin, Hash & Full Spectrum Bar All trim from the grow — not just from Lava Cake — was collected to make a full-spectrum bar using simple, natural heat extraction with hot water in a glass bottle. The result was a potent, sticky, terpene-rich concentrate that perfectly captures the soul of the garden. ⸻ ⚖️ Final Yields • Pheno #1: 144g dry • Pheno #2: 99g dry Both phenotypes displayed amazing bud density and structure. In fact, their sheer weight caused a few branches to snap under their own mass — another reason that influenced our harvest timing. These were heavy girls, through and through. 🌿💪 ⸻ 🙏 Gratitude & Reflections To everyone who followed along — thank you. To Zamnesia, for the genetics and inspiration, thank you. To the GrowDiaries community, the supporters, the doubters, and everyone in between — thank you for being part of this experience. And above all, thanks to God, because without Him, none of this beauty — not even the smallest seed — would exist. Growing Lava Cake wasn’t just about cultivation; it was about connection, learning, and the sacred patience of nature. ⸻ 🌀 Closing Thoughts From seed to smoke, these Lava Cakes have been a story of flavor, resilience, and soul. Despite challenges like heat and bud rot, the final result was spectacular: frosty, aromatic, powerful flowers that embody everything beautiful about this craft. As we light the first cured joint, we celebrate not just the harvest, but the journey itself. Until the next grow — stay curious, stay kind, and keep growing. 🌱💚 Thank you to everyone who followed this run — your support, questions, and shared passion have been part of what made this project so rewarding. The full smoke review will follow this harvest report and will be presented in 4K on YouTube, where we’ll document the aroma, flavor, burn, and overall experience with both phenotypes and the pressed hash. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Growing for the Growers Gauntlet in discord. Come check it out! There's a bunch of amazing growers throwing down right now for the title of Champion Homegrower! This gelat og is doing amazing. This is the first week of flower and she's already got a lot of amazing bud sites.

I plan to grow the best 2 in hydro and the best 2 in soil On 40% power Big Thank you to Medicgrow for the opportunity to use the LED - I am under no pressure or obligation to promote this item , I will give you my honest opinion, and we will see the results , it’s actually a bit bigger than imagined , first test with the lux meter showed awesome spread and distribution, I have one thing that I didn’t understand, using the hangers , you need a degree in engineering to understand , I looked , I pondered, I scratched my head a little smoked a joint , still couldn’t comprehend,so I used 6 ratchets = 🤪 All of them are cuttings I took from a naughty strawberry cheesecake Ps The big green power supply there’s nothing to do with the medicgrow fold 6 ,( the power supply is in the middle )it’s from another light that I just can’t be bothered to move because I’ve got nowhere to put it Wednesday-watered the soil , topped up the pots and added 2ml of A+B hydrogrow Thursday upped the power to 60% this is the recommended setting , but I was a little cautious, I didn’t want to burn anything Probably going to cull down to 6 this week , 3 of each - throw the others - see what happens

LST Main-Lining White Runtz @Barneys Soil with coco to soft. Had to invent wood sticks. She is felling well after topping. Se esta recuperando mejor de lo esperado My wife topped her plant last day third week. plants looks good and we walking ahead MI mujer se ha hecho topping en ultimo momento del tercera semana. entramos bien en la quarta

KINDA DISPPOINTING THIS TIME. REALLY TOUGH TO GROW OUTDOORS. JUST SO MANY VARIABLES NOT UNDER MY CONTROL. ALL THE GALS WERE GROWING AT DIFFERENT PACE. ALSO I USED A DIFFERENT SOIL THIS TIME. SO THAT COULD HAVE EFFECT THE GROW. I SHOULD REALLY JUST GROW AUTOS INDOORS WHICH IS WHAT IM USED TO. I TEND TO VEG PHOTOS OUTDOORS THEN BRING INSIDE TO FLOWER. SAVE MORE ENERGY. BUT THE PROBLEM IS JUST BRING PEST INSIDE THE TENT. ALWAYS SOMETHING TO BATTLE. MORE I DO THE MORE I LEARN. STILL FAR FROM FINISH. NOT A GOOD HARVEST THIS TIME. I'LL SAVE THE REST AUTOS INDOORS NEXT TIME.

Blütetag 58 Hey Freunde, ich hab heute spontan geerntet (leider etwas zu früh), aber jetzt kann ich mich auf Weihnachten konzentrieren und die Trichome waren fast alle milchig, also halb so wild und die Lemon Cherry wär eh nicht mehr fertig geworden. 🤓 Für den ersten Run nach über 10 Jahren bin ich relativ zufrieden, vor allem in der kurzen Zeit! 🦊 Die Bilder sind Leider nicht wirklich gut geworden, war ohne Lampe leider zu dunkel, aber ich mach nochmal welche wenns getrocknet is! Ich wünsch euch und euren lieben schöne Feiertage und frohe Weihnachten! 🎄💚

Mid of the week I topped the first 14 plants. They were stressed a bit but recovered well. I installed a Levoit Humidifier for better humidity management. Its starts when humidity is under 60% and stops when is over 70%.

Day 85: what’s good guys? She’s looking and smelling great, temps are okay sitting at 25 for the most time and going down to the lowest of 16 at night. Humidity is sat at 30+ which is okay for her but not so great for my seedlings. I have a 400w hps bulb on the way so I’m hoping this will stop so much heat eating at the moisture. She still looks like she’s putting it on a bit but I think I can see quite a few cloudy trichomes and some ambers and a few clears so when she dries out next I’ll start feeding ph balanced filtered tap water for a week and see how the trichomes look. A lot of the fan leaves look like they’ve got a nitrogen deficiency maybe a slight bit of calcium too but being so late in flower I don’t think I need to worry about it. Very excited to see the changes as she finishes up! Any advice is greatly appreciated! Stay safe happy growing😎🍁 Edit: I’ve now started feeding her plain water. I gave her 2L of filtered ph 6.1 excited to see how she reacts to it.

Привет друзья. Моей растихе сегодня 34 дня. Начал применять LST технику на 19 дне и продалжаю применять её через день, а 18 августа добавил ДЕФОЛИЗАЦИЮ С 20.08 ДЕФОЛИЗАЦИЮ делаю каждые 3,4 дня С 20.08 LST технику делаю каждые 3.4 дня На сегодняшний день влажность 63% Растение растёт хорошо. генетика радует. Всем мира и добра! #Smail_Seeds

She has grown another 10cm/4" this week! Flowers developing quite slowly compared to her tent-mates. I'm hoping this is a sativa dominant phenotype??? Can anyone shed some light on that please? I left the tape measure visible in the video for scale. Good? Helpful?

MAY 9th (day 50) Well we finally started flowering yesterday and within the first 12 hours they stretched a good 2-3 inches already starting to get that Danky dank smell I have to say I’m being able to train a plant the perfect way you want it .. is probably my favorite part of the whole cycle! Since last week they almost doubled in size. Made the decision to go completely LED got one more light coming in today and that will leave me with 940 true watts led also made some improvements to the grow room like runoff catchers and a whole new veg tent !! Don’t mind the end just a little experiment I’m doing lol!! ENJOY THE VIDEO. P.s. always love to hear any helpful tips or feedback !!

What can I say really 2 week veg and flipped a week ago and repotted and they have just exploded in growth By looks of it more room would of come in handy but have got 10 other plants in flower on other side of tent

Doing a little training LST Defoliation and toppping
