This was an exciting week for my ladies. It started out with the usual feed and defoliation and training. With my upcoming vacation, I am going to be hardening off these ladies to relocate to their outside location. I checked the expected weather forecast for the week. Looks good to start hardening off. Partly cloudy with temps in the low to mid 80s just like in their tent. So thatβs good. Night temperatures were in the 50-60s. This is much cooler than what they are used to as our house is at 73. Our summers are hot and humid with frequent thunderstorms. They need to get used to what mother nature will provide.
I had planned to bring the plants back in the sunroom but since conditions were similar, I let them stay outside every night. And every night but 2 it rained. I did not water or feed nutrients this week.
I am attempting the scrog technique on all plants. I am using a peony cage as the support structure. The cages are about 2 feet high. This may not be enough side or top support as she grows and may have to resort to tomato cages.
Took pics May 6,9, & 11 Lemon girls both had mutations at germination. Lemon Drizzle split ot topped herself. This creates two main plant stalks. The primary and a smaller secondary stalk.
Lemon drizzle has stretched above the scrog top opening up her structure. Today she has an erratic top canopy in multiple levels with multiple bud sites. Interesting her nodes have for this week started to develop off set from each other.
Does that mean she is going into flower sooner than expected?
Thanks for the visits, likes and comment, I appreciate all the plant loveπ.
Have fun & love what you grow π
Sending you good vibes of love, light, and healing π«

The History of Lemon Cake Strain Seeds
Lemon Cake by the European-based firm Heavyweight Seeds is a strong Sativa-dominant hybrid of Lemon Skunk and Cheese. Lemon Cake seeds are easy to cultivate, especially outdoors, with a 9-10 week flowering cycle, squat shape, and large output.
How to Germinate Lemon Cake Strain Seeds
There are several ways to sprout your Lemon Cake strain seeds, but they are more complex, inexpensive, and efficient than the paper towel technique. Premium Cultivars suggests this method since it is simple to implement, involves commonly available tools, and ensures germination. Hereβs a 9-step process for geminating Lemon Cake seeds:
1. Collect your essential tools: Lemon Cake seeds, dinner plates, distilled or bottled water, tweezers, and a working table.
2. Wet your paper towel sheets and gently squeeze the excess water.
3. Set one of the paper towels on the dinner plate and the other aside for later usage.
4. Pick your Lemon Cake strain seeds with tweezers and spread them on the towel sheet, allowing an inch between them.
5. Cover your cannabis seeds using the second paper towel. Check if the towel is moist, and if not, add water.
6. Lift the towel sheets and ensure no standing water is present. Return the paper towel and your Lemon Cake seeds carefully.
7. Place the setup in warm, dark areas, particularly a cupboard or drawer (20-120 hours).
8. Check to determine whether your Lemon Cake cannabis seeds are sprouting regularly, and if the paper towel remains moist, add water if it does not.
9. Once taproots have emerged from your Lemon Cake seeds, transplant them to your ideal growing medium.
Why are Feminized Seeds Better than Regs?
Feminized cannabis seeds yield only female plants (or around 99.9% female). Conversely, regular seeds generate a mix of male and female plants. Each seed strain has advantages and cons, with the growerβs specific needs ultimately determining the best. Gardeners mostly use regular cannabis seeds to create their strains, but feminized cannabis seeds are great for farmers looking for a cannabinoid-rich, bud-producing crop. Male cannabis plants generate just pollen sacs and no resinous blooms.
This resin contains cannabinoids and terpenes, which are responsible for cannabisβ desirable properties. If male plants pollinate female plants, their blooms will cease releasing resin and begin producing seeds. In short, male cannabis plants do not aid in pursuing massive, powerful harvests. Nonetheless, male plants are critical to the survival of the species as well as the breeding and improvement of cannabis strains. So donβt dismiss them right away!
Growing Lemon Cake Strain Seeds
The Lemon Cake cannabis strain has grown in popularity due to its ease of cultivation and high yields. Itβs a medium-sized plant with long branches that can use some assistance toward the end. It is rather ordinary in terms of temperature and disease resistance since it is not overly prone to unfavorable circumstances or pests. However, if you grow with hydroponics, you wonβt have to bother with any of that.
Should I Grow Lemon Cake Strain Seeds Indoors or Outdoors?
Lemon Cake thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments. The height of this cannabis strain is one factor to consider: it can reach heights of 200cm, requiring either a large grow space or a yard to attain its full potential.
Growing Lemon Cake Strain Indoors
If you want to cultivate your Lemon Cake seeds (you can buy these finest seeds from Premium Cultivars) inside, you should invest in exhaust fans or carbon air filters due to the roomβs strong odor. Also, if conditions are ideal, growers should expect a large yield after 9-10 weeks of flowering.
Growing Lemon Cake Strain Seeds Outdoors
Outdoor growers can harvest their Lemon Cake buds around the middle of October.
How Much Do Lemon Cake Strain Seeds Yield?
Lemon Cake can produce roughly 25 ounces per plant outdoors and 21-25 ounces per square meter when grown inside. Although you might be tempted to cut it down right away, waiting as long as possible before harvesting it and curing it correctly to enhance the quality is recommended.
How to Get Better Yields from Your Lemon Cake Strain Seeds
Harvest rewards are frequently a mirror of cultivation care, so be kind to your Lemon Cake plants, and they will be gentle with you. However, growers should regularly top and prune their Lemon Cake plants to improve airflow and light exposure, thus raising yields.
The Best Grow Medium for Lemon Cake Strain Seeds
Cultivators can grow Lemon Cake seeds in hydroponic or soil systems. However, experts propose using a precise hydroponic arrangement to achieve optimal production and control its occasionally unpredictable growth rates.
The Best Climate for Lemon Cake Strain Seeds
Lemon Cake strain enjoys warm, semi-humid areas and is inherently resilient, having excellent mold and disease resistance. Growing outside is only acceptable in warmer climates, as this cannabis strain needs sunlight.
Problems to Look Out For When Growing Lemon Cake Strain Seeds
When cultivating Lemon Cake cannabis seeds, the primary issue to watch out for is dehydration and overwatering when the crops are little and susceptible. If the leaves of your Lemon Cake plant turn yellow, this indicates that the plant isnβt receiving enough oxygen to the roots.
How Difficult is it to Grow Lemon Cake Strain?
One of Lemon Cakeβs noteworthy characteristics is its simplicity of cultivation.
Are Lemon Cake Strain Seeds Suitable for Beginners?
Yes, these cannabis stain seeds are great for novice growers, and they will obtain outstanding results.
The Best Grow Techniques for Lemon Cake Strain
Topping
Topping encourages the plant to grow horizontally rather than vertically, but when it does so is determined by soil condition, plant health, light, plant size and age, and growth goals. Topping cannabis reshapes the crop in a way that improves light dispersion significantly. Cutting one tall branch to make multiple new ones at the same height guarantees that lower (buds on lower branches) also receive more light.
Another essential reason to top your cannabis crop is for better height management. Logically, the two new branches develop slower than the one branch. Topping a cannabis plant separates its development into several branches. Making the plant grow less in height while putting more energy into expanding broader. This is incredibly convenient for growers, especially for limited indoor plants.
Trimming
Trimming can be an excellent technique for cannabis producers who have been cultivating a plant for a long time to connect with it while boosting the quality and form of the buds. There are two methods for trimming cannabis plants: wet and dry. Wet trimming, as the name implies, happens when the cannabis plant is still wet. This means you harvest your plants and immediately begin the trimming procedure. Conversely, dry trimming will necessitate drying your crops out for a few days before you start trimming the bud.
If youβre cultivating cannabis at home, youβll almost certainly have to perform all this by hand. For devoted producers, machine trimmers are available, making the operation considerably less labor-intensive. However, due to their high cost, commercial farmers mainly utilize them. Trimming can be time-consuming for many growers, but itβs also thrilling since the growth process is almost complete, and your cannabis is almost ready to have. After youβve completed trimming, thereβs one more step left until you have a great bud: curing.
Pruning
Pruning is the practice of eliminating extraneous shoots, branches, and leaves from a plant to push it to redirect its limited energy into its present and established development. When left to its own devices, a cannabis plant will frequently grow too large to sustain itself properly with the quantity of energy it generates. If left untreated, this can lead to several minor bud sites as the plant strains to survive while creating bud during flowering. By eliminating unneeded and weak growth, you push the cannabis plant to focus on what remains, resulting in a stronger plant capable of producing a few huge buds rather than many little ones. This frequently leads to higher total yields.

I was impressed with the vigor of Premium Cultivar genetics, seeds germinated very well for me, looks like they did for you too, lemon cake sounds good. I do like lemon cake! With a cuppa.
Your plants look awesome my friend. I had to abandon my outdoor grows a while back. We have low humidity and hardly any summer rain, so bud rot wasn't a problem. But we have a bad whitefly problem here and between that and the other pests it's a double whammy. I have nothing but huge respect for all the outdoor growers. π
@Sour_D, Thanks @Sour_D π I'm on the fence for outside grows. Bud rot and wilt are my big issues. I stopped pests with neem oil. These are photos so maybe autos for outside and be done in half the time.
