Welcome to growdiaries grow 14.
This grow is going to be similar to grow 13. So for this grow I have selected my 4 strains. All are autoflower seeds. The kind people at AMS have given me Amnesia trance auto and auto supreme to trial, I have been wanting to give AMS a try for a while. So the 1st 2 spots in the grow go to #1 Amnesia trance auto, #2 auto supreme. The final spots go to my prizes from grower of the month December sponsored by fastbuds. The 2 strains I chose from that prize are strawberry pie and wedding cheesecake. #3 strawberry pie, #4 wedding cheesecake.
All 4 strains will be started in my secret jardin Ds60 under a mars hydro Ts1000. Then as soon as grow 13 is finished in the gorilla shorty under the Viparspectra xs2000 they will be moved into that tent.
Each strain will have its own diary.
Notes.
26/3/22 selected seeds and placed in water for 11hrs to soak. Then placed in wet paper towel.
27/3/22 around 24hrs from starting a tap root started to emerge so placed seed into soil.
28/3/22 nothing today.
29/3/22 broke ground so this is day 0
All 4 strains emerged around the same time.
Hopefully back in a week.

As expected she started to explode in growth this week. As I'm wrapping up my last grow my flower tent has become available. As I'm planning on putting a net over them soon I just continued Lst. So far she has grown champion.

This week the wedding cheesecake
has come along fine, she is as low as i can get her and has probably finished stretching, this one has probably had the biggest stretch out of the 4. All 4 strains in the tent are quite close in development still but this one is a little behind at the moment.

Most of this week and next week I was away so not many pictures.
It was looking like the wedding cheesecake hadn't finished stretching yet and is a little behind in development then the other 3 strains.

Day 58 nothing
Day 59 Manually water then went away
Day 60 nothing away.

Take it easy.
Most of this week I was away so the tent was on autopilot.
When i got back i was pleased to see all 4 strains where still around the same on development, with this one possibly being the farthest behind but not by much. The wedding cheesecake is the taller of the 2 fastbuds autos. She is starting to throw out some nice colours now. I'm quite confident this one is going to hit my 13 weeks scheduled for it, so not long left.
Notes
Day 64 nothing away
Day 65 autofeed last weeks nutes
Day 66 Got back, everything's fine

This week the wedding cheesecake has started bulking up as i would expect from an auto. I see a lot of diaries that usually harvest this week but I always think 13 weeks is about the right time frame for most autos. She is doing ok, its between this one and the amnesia trance for farthest behind in development.
Notes
Day 71 nothing
Day 72 autofeed water
Day 73 nothing

This week the wedding cheesecake trichomes are almost there, the buds have started to get more dense. The colours are out, just putting its final bit of weight on. She should be ready for harvest at the end of next week. Unfortunately my timing has been off and the hot weather has arrived so the battle at controlling temps and Rh has commenced.
Notes

This week the wedding cheesecake has hit my target for trichomes. Its been a battle with temps this week as the hot weather continued. I have used a nute agent to help get rid of any salt build up and i am just watering until the end. The colours have come out and she is fading. I'm leaving her for a few more days so I can harvest on the weekend. I won't do another week update and just add them pictures into my harvest update.
This plant has really done the breeder justice which you begin to expect with fastbuds. Its grown really well, very little maintenance and possibly looking like there are going to be some decent buds in the end product.
Notes
Day 85 manually feed this weeks nute.
Day 86 nothing
Day 87 manually water
Day 88 nothing
Day 89 manually water

Back when dried and have harvest information.
Take it easy.
Wedding cheesecake went from seed to harvest in 94 days. This isn't the 1st time I have grown this strain as its a favourite of mine. The grow as a whole went quite well. Last few weeks I did struggle a little keeping temperatures in check due to the weather getting warmer. Despite that this plant handled it with no real issues.
So the plant did well in the 9L airpots, and had a really good root structure. Out of this grow she was one of the largest out of the 4 plants. She didn't quite pull out the colours that this strain usually manages, but that's probably due to me not being able to lower the temperature. The harvest was quite an easy one and I didn't really get any fluffy buds as I had trimmed the lower part of the plant early on in the grow.
I like the root balls on air pots, I need to get some, so expensive up here. $9 for a single 1GaL pot then $29 and $39 for single 5&7gal equivalent. It's stupid.
I'm going to go through this diary with a fine-toothed comb, @Hashy - because I've just popped 3 of these seeds! Mine have JUST broken the soil (in the same time frame yours did) and I'm really excited about it! I know you to be a dynamite grower so even though there are a lot of differences between our grows (mine will be outside, different nutes, etc), I know there's a lot I can learn from this diary! Cheers my friend!
@GrowingGrannie, you won't be disappointed with the cheesecake. Very good strain. Don't think I had any real issues with her, probably best of with a slightly bigger pot then 9L.
Hey there,
Thanks a bunch for growing our Wedding Cheesecake, and for sharing this diary with us :)
We hope that it was a nice experience, and that you enjoy the harvest!
Have a good one
