Some high-stress training was required. Fartbutt (the plant on the right) outgrew the container again, so I intentionally snapped the top to prevent further upward growth (I left it attached so it could still form a central cola.

~ WEDDING CHEESECAKE FAST FLOWER by FastBuds ~ Well fam, here we go again with another epic strain from FastBuds Fast Flowering stable. After having such tremendous success growing their Gorilla Cookies Fast Flower outdoors last year, I've decided to run another of their fast flowering strains outdoors this year... Wedding Cheesecake Fast Flower! The best description of this awesome cultivar comes directly from my friends at FastBuds which is as follows: "A delight for the mind and body: Wedding Cheesecake FF (Fast-Flowering) is a delicious strain that offers XXL yields in a 7-8 weeks flowering cycle. This terpene powerhouse produces loads and loads of mouth-watering vanilla-creamy-cookie-scented terps with hints of citrus and cinnamon. In addition to its delicious aromas, this variety grows very well in both indoor and outdoor setups, yielding up to 650 g/m2 without extra maintenance, making it the ideal strain for beginners as it allows you to maximize yields while minimizing work. This super-fast feminized photoperiod version offers upbeat and energetic yet deeply relaxing effects that are perfect for consumers looking for a heavily focused, motivating, and creative high. It’s the ideal strain for those needing that extra energy boost to start a busy day on the right foot. Wedding Cheesecake FF boasts chunky, large-sized buds with a thick layer of silvery-white resin and bright orange hairs scattered all over: that just screams ‘quality’. The lime-green flowers sparkle with an array of hues ranging from dark to light green, to magenta and purple, and reek of a delicious aroma that’ll remind you of fresh store-bought cheesecake. This is an XXL hybrid that grows extremely tall in height, reaching up to 3m with one huge main cola and multiple long side branches that can withstand enormous yields of up to 650 g/m2 with ease. Wedding Cheesecake FF is extremely resilient to the elements and can be grown in almost every climate as long as you’ve got the space and basics covered, making her an excellent choice for those looking for large-scale harvests with a quick turnaround time without much effort." ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Setup: This is going to be an outdoor grow, but I have started the Wedding Cheesecake FF indoors as our weather is still too cold to put her outside (nighttime temp's dipping regularly into the 30's℉). The plan is simple... let her grow inside under a 19/5 light schedule until the nighttime temperatures stay above the mid 40's℉, at which point she'll be moved outside and transplanted into the soil which I have already setup and inoculated with beneficial microbes, and then let the fun begin!🤪💚 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 4/12- Here we go into the third week for the FastBuds Wedding Cheesecake Fast Flower and there's nothing but good news to report! This little lady is basically on autopilot for now and all I'm really doing is making sure that I check her daily and water when needed with well water straight from the garden hose! 4/14- All is well with the Wedding Cheesecake FF. Because of the colder nights, her growth is not going to be as rapid right now compared to when nighttime temp's stay above the upper 50's to 60's℉, which is when she should really start to take off! 4/16- It rained yesterday and today, so Mother Nature took care of my watering for me! 4/18- There goes another week on the books for the FastBuds Wedding Cheesecake Fast Flower and I can't wait to see her take off with warmer weather that's not too far away! Hope to see you next week! Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

Day 50 - Checked PPM 1,030. Added 10 mL of CalMag Micro Grow and Bloom. Added 5 mL of Big Bud Sensizym Bud Candy Nirvana Rhino Skin and B-52. PPM is 1,550. Plant is 51 inches. Raised the light to its highest position. Tons of bud production. Day 51 - Checked PPM 1,590. PPM went up so i diluted with RO water. PPM is now 835. Plant is 52 inches tall. Leaves are getting glossy colored and sticky. Day 52 - Checked PPM 1,560. Diluted again with RO water. PPM is 725. Bud production scaled up. Green mass forming between white hairs and sugar leaves. The stock reminds me of the body of a lizard. Plant is 54 inches tall. Day 53 - Checked PPM 1,130. Added RO water. PPM is 650. Added 10 mL of CalMag Micro Grow and Bloom. Added 5 mL of Big Bud Sensizym Bud Candy Nirvana Rhino Skin and B-52. PPM is 1,620. Plant is 55 inches tall. Tons of white hairs. Bud production everywhere. The mylar emergency blanket allows the light to penetrate deep and low into the plant. Day 56 - Water nearly gone. Added 2 gallons of RO water. Added 20 mL of CalMag Micro Grow and Bloom. Added 10 mL of Big Bud Sensizym Bud Candy Nirvana Rhino Skin and B-52. PPM is 1,690. I can see trichome production (frosty buds and sugar leaves). The hairs are still white. Light is 2 inches above plant. Light is nearly against the ceiling. It stays this way til harvest.

My Rainbow Saltz plant has some lighter green leaves, so I gave it a dose of calcium this week, hoping they'll darken up. One of the branches wasn't keeping up, so I pruned it off. Now the shape of the plant is perfect for fitting against the wall in the tent. It's been a challenging week with the constant rain and ridiculously high humidity. Keeping things dry indoors has been a real struggle. Despite the weather, I managed to flip all my feminized photoperiod plants to flower this week. I'm hoping the switch will go smoothly, but with this humidity, it's going to be tough.

**Encontrarás la traducción a español al final de la descripción** From/Desde: 22/03/19 || To/Hasta: 28/03/19 From day/Desde día: 29 || To day/Hasta día: 35 You can find the Money Maker Diary here: ** Podéis encontrar el diario de las Money Maker aquí:** https://growdiaries.com/diaries/25667-gorillamakingmoney-gorilla-vs-money-m -----IMAGES & VIDEOS----- Video 1: Exactly the same video as 2 but accelerated +400% to fix it to 1 minute for instagram. Video 2: 7 days (29~35) TimeLapse, 1 image each 60 secs @ 30 fps Video 9: An overview video not as awesome as it's music 😂💪 Video 10: Myself working on the babies, lowering tops, topping & training. Video 12: Full working on the secondary Gorilla, twisting some branches, topping & training. -----WEEK SUMMARY----- Well, now i'm getting a bit scared as i adventured myself into Photoperiod, high training, full topping... in indoors at once. I feel that plants are going good, but i really don't know what am i doing, and if i'm doing well. Also i don't know how much time should i give them of vegetation stage, because i don't want to eternalize myself with this tent, so i'm planning to leave this upcoming 6th week and maybe the 7th of vegetation, but no more. Anyway they look pretty atm 😻. In video 10 the main-linning Gorilla suffered an accident as i grabbed the main left branch from a weak point and it has broken (sec 39 aprox.) so it has one less node than the right branch. -----WATERING CALENDAR----- 24/03/19 - 1.000 ml with all week nutrients @ 0.9 E.C. PH5.8 *****ESPAÑOL***** -----IMÁGENES & VÍDEOS----- Vídeo 1: TimeLapse, exactamente el mismo vídeo que el 2 pero acelerado a un poco más del 300% para ajustarlo a 1 minuto para Instagram. Vídeo 2: 7 días (29~35) TimeLapse, 1 imagen cada 60 segundos @ 30 fps. Vídeo 9: Un vídeo general no tan increíble como la música de fondo 😂💪. Video 10: Trabajando en las pequeñas, rebajando las alturas, haciendo topping y entrenando. Video 12: Trabajando a pleno en la segunda Gorilla, girando algunas ramas, haciendo toppings y entrenándola. -----SUMARIO SEMANAL----- Bueno, ahora estoy empezando a estar asustado. Me he aventurado a probar con fotodependientes, entrenamiento fuerte y super topping, todo a la vez. Siento que las plantas van bien, pero realmente no se lo que estoy haciendo ni si lo estoy haciendo bien. También tengo dudas sobre cuanto tiempo más dejarlas en estado vegetativo ya que no me quiero eternizar con este armario, por lo que estoy planeando dejar esta sexta semana de crecimiento y quizás una séptima, pero no más. Aun así y con todo, las nenas se ven preciosas 😻. En el vídeo 10 sufro un accidente en la Gorila con main-linning ya que amarré el final del tallo principal izquierdo por un punto débil y este se partió (sec 39 aprox.), por lo que tiene un piso de topping de más en comparación con tallo derecho. -----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO----- 24/03/19 - 1.000 ml con todos los nutrientes semanales @ 0.9 E.C. PH5.8

Nothing but plain water this week as the bulking has continued.. trichomes are cloudy and pistils are at least 60/70 percent red depending on the pheno. That tells me its about time to harvest. Also would like to get these ladies down to avoid any bud rot or mold in the larger buds as they are getting quite big and will hold much more water and have lost quality top buds before due to over flushing and the buds having to much water in them at the time of the actual chop and hang. Anyways, they look great I cant wait to give them a try.

Que pasa familia, vamos con la cuarta semana de floración de estas Gorilla cookies Auto de FastBuds. Por el momento todo va bien tienen buen color, van ahí formándose esas flores y empezando a tricotar guay. Alimentamos nuestras plantas con Agrobeta. Por supuesto el ph se mide en cada riego y se mantiene en 6.2 y riego en intervalos de 48h. La temperatura está entorno al 22/24 grados y la humedad anda sobre el 50%. Las plantas en si ya están bien sanas, tutore la rama principal para que no se fuese de madre, y así controlaré la altura.

I was told to never judge a strain purely off it's THC percentage. To smell a plant, and what your nose picks out is generally the strain that will jive the best with the endocannabinoid system in your body. This strain exemplifies that. It's only around 17% but the high is amazing. An under-rated strain for sure. Very easy strain to grow. Although the same strain, one looked pretty different and was much frostier despite getting the exact same treatment from seed to chop.

Comenzando ya la ultima fase del cultivo, descubrimos una paleta de olores bastante amplia la cual nos recuerda olores como Mango fresco y Melón Tuna, olores bien marcados. Comenzaremos el lavado de raices, ya que empezamos a ver tricomas con tonalidades "ambar", esperemos seguir con este resultado el cual nos tiene bastante satisfechos. !Saludos & Buenos Humos! 🙌

Day 49 of flower. Lovely! The Buds begin to bring flesh to them self. They grow up. The smell is a little bit diskret till now. I mean the strength of it. Sweet! SWEET! Glorious. I know for the most of north and south (maybe) it's an old wallpaper from Yesterday. But for me, its the first time I smell sticky Watermelon Zkittlez on my Fingers. AMAZING. (If in normal zkittlez is no watermelon smell) than:Like a voice of an God. "BONUS! DOUBLR XP FOR THE REST TIME OF THE GROW! YOU CHOOSE! MORE YIELD? UNIQUE COLORS?" "God(of Ganja maybe)…?" "YES? MY GROWMI?" "can i have both bonus?" WHAT THE FUCK! TRY TO DEAL WITH A GOD? What followed know is unknown. Just you heared some screams in the night. Not the funny ones. except you re an sadomasochist. Than you had really fun. I got still some aphids. But less than ever before. Still 3 weeks of flowering.. I can wait. The yield will not be big. I don't care about. I care about mouthwatering strong healthy weed. Thats why i grow. (and, i love to see them grow. But that was unexpected). WATERMELON ZKITTLEZ. I Love this plant. The colours. The height, the smell, and the sticky buds. Day 52 of flower. TRICHOMES RE MILKY the most 75% ca. The Buds re hard. The smell has changed to Haschisch. The fruity smell is still there, but getting less. Lets see. Phylaxien re 50% brown. Down under(Australia?). 20% and the lowest 5% brown. 18 days still to go. BARNEYS FARM, once again you satisfie me.. Hello @ day 54 of flower. The buds re becoming harder , and now they begin to grow up. In height. The colors of buds. Brown phylaxien, till bottom. She got 16 days to go now. Lets see if we take some amber trichoms till the harvest. The chop will be in stages, because Iwant the maturity ( is this right?) In every bud, and light helps. Day 55 of flower. The Light Spektrum has been Modified. I kill switched the blue Spektrum. In previous Grows it helps to increase the trichom productivity and faster maturity. But warning! If you kill the blue light to early, she stretches a lot.. Thank you for reading. I hope you enjoyed it. Day 55again. Aphids found! Damn! Should i defoliate the infested leaves? Day 57 of flower. I will not defoliate. I will wash the buds. Stay strong baby, youre my first photo period plant. And this is my first plant without any influences from a ruderalis.. And she is a beauty. By the way still some glass trichrome DAY 58 OF FLOWER. nothing happend Phylaxien went brown. Some new came... The buds re still hard. But they grow up.. 😛 24.09. 59 days of flower. Everything pretty. 25.09 AMBER trichomes starting on top buds. 60 days of Flowering. 27.09.... The Buds. Not soo big. But soo solid! I ve the pheno with the hard buds and slow growing but heavy earthy and INDICA lasting one! WITH THE HARD STEELBUDS YES, HAPPY!! Fruity smell is like zkittlez, but with an heavy earthy tone. Still not many Amber trichoms. But Hey we are in FLOWERWEEK 9!!! And 8-10 weeks the Breeder said. Did a defoliation cause prepare to harvest soon. And to get to the lowest benches some light, so they get harder. Trichome check says. WAIT! Gave water ph 6,5. Trichomes re mostly foggy. Still some clear Trichomes. AMBER ist not so much. Maybe on every bud 1%. Harvest, were coming closer... Boah SMOKE REPORT: First bong hit. Häh? Something happend. 30 sec later... Ok here we go, should i take another one? Its so smooth... Three minutes later... Damn my eyes, im so fxxxxxx relaxed, i liked to take a nap. Smooth A Smooth Criminal (AYE) The Buds re heavy. And the hardest i ever had. 30.09. 65 day of flower. Did a little prechop. The Rest still can ripen.
