This plant was a very hearty and disease resistant plant. Had a very wet season, and not one spot of mold to be found during initial trim. Long buds and a sweet aroma.

Very very hearty strain. She had an arm break and only held on by an inch, which in the end fully healed and held by itself. Very disease resistant and mold resistant, had the wettest August I can remember and no issues. Defoliated often and she always bounced back quick with massive dinner plate size fan leaves. Can't wait to cure and test her out.
I am growing the same plant outdoors and indoors to test yield under both scenarios. You should try some low stress bending and top the plant to help it spread out and create more colas :)
@Puffy_Clouds, if you do get a diary going for your indoor/outdoor comparison let me know if love to check it out as I plan on doing an indoor run of these in the fall or winter, would be cool to see how yours fare out!
Just using Sunshine Mix #4 Pro Growing Mix amended with sheep manure. Used 2 bags manure for every 100L bag of Sunshine Mix. When it's not raining I'm using Advanced Nutrients Micro Grow Bloom mix with the water. Leftover nutrients from last summer's grow so no cost. They really do seem to be liking the soil, most leaves are 9 point ๐ช.
interesting i wish i could share pictures with you on my progress with the two plants that i am growing. but i haven't started a diary here yet i planted the seeds in soil on May 16 so i am at about 6 weeks i used low stress bending on both and topped them. my outdoor one is about 4 feet high with multiple cola potential. Outdoor i think may reach 6-7 feet by the end of the summer. I just forced the indoor one into flower. getting a nice skunky smell on the outdoor she seems to really love the hot bright sun we are experiencing.
looking good Happiness.
These seeds have some great genetics. I'm in Ontario and my out door raspberry cheesecake is at 46" from the soil and has a very mild skunk smell. Whereas my indoor one has a distinctly different smell then the outdoor one. Much sweeter smell on the indoor and no skunk notes at all. I forced it into flower last week just because my tent is smaller (2x2). should be harvesting in 6-7 more weeks. going to do some analytical testing on the CBD content to see what the plant is capable of will let you know the results when i get them in the future.
i like your rebar set-up I'm using a tomato ring cone myself.
Keep posting.
P.S. I took a look at your blueberry, another fine grow. If you don't mind me asking, what what the effects of that plant once consumed?
@Puffy_Clouds thanks for the Stoke! I agree ๐ฏ on the genetics, very glad I picked up this one and have seeds left ๐. Can't wait to hear how the CBD potency turn out for ya, I've heard this strain can get 30% range! I'm hoping the height growth slows down soon or I'm gonna need my ladder again this year to tend to this one ๐คฆโโ๏ธ.
And thanks for checking out my previous indoor run of the blue! I find it nice and smooth, usual blueberry flavours with a hint of lemon. Effects wise I really enjoy this strain. When having an after work puff you can feel the anxiety and sore muscles just melting away, leaving me feeling ready to tackle to home chores. I find it makes me chatty, and perks up my creativity also, have done some good McGyvering lately haha.
High Happiness,
Me again, she looks very well and healthy. Looks like I can use some of your advice. My CBD Raspberry cheesecake is entering preflower now a little bit ahead of yours. I think it may be flowering earlier because of where I am located in Ontario and my plant is in an area that has shade a little bit of the day.
My plant is draining nutrients from the lower leaves yellowing them; I have increased the nutrients to help this. Whereas, your plant looks so healthy all over are you experiencing the same issue and trimming away the yellowing leaves (pre-photo)? All in all, looks like we are going to end up with eight foot plants, and judging by the nodes a high yield outdoors.
My indoor test is in early flower now and grew so rapidly that i had to top some of them in flower stage as they were too close to the lights.
take care and can't wait to see next weeks progress!

@Puffy_Clouds, Hmm I have not had this problem with this particular plant yet, but my blueberry plant does have this problem. So far have removed maybe 7-8 leaves from the blueberry but they have all been the fan leaves that grow directly below the branch against the main stalk. Im thinking with it most likely being a nitrogen deficiency (in my case affected leaves turning full yellow over 4-6 days no curling, rough feel) that it may be because I mixed 20% sheep manure in with my soil for CBD plant but not my blueberry. Sheep poop high in nitrogen over time so maybe why CBD is holding up better? Maybe a light top dressing could help, or some way to boost nitrogen only? Not sure if affected leaves would turn back to normal or not.
High Happiness,
Very nice again this week again, thanks for the reminder to defoliate. I will do the same on mine. not as tall as yours still mine in only 7 feet but my soil container is much smaller than yours. My Raspberry cheese cake was getting blown over in the wind (so top heavy) i have weighed down the planter pot with 20 lbs of weight to stop it from getting blown over. this plant is super thirsty so i think i will go to watering 2x a day like you have (hot days). Keep up the good growing.
Puffy
@Grow_for_Happiness, growing in a 10 liter pot which is too small for this plant. the plant size is hovering at 7 feet+ and i am afraid to trans plant it into another pot. watering the plant 2 x a day with the heat that we have been experiencing. My plant seems to be further alone in the flower stage then yours and has been flowering for sometime now but very slowly feels like there wont be a harvest on this until late September. The CBD raspberry cheesecake that i have been growing indoor is going to be ready in about 2 weeks maybe three, but i have some fox tailing on the buds because they grew too close to the lights. ( my tent is 2x2 and and i had to open the door and let some of it hang out to keep them cool). This strain grows tall fast.
nice outdoor net rigging on your girl (she look a tad thirsty in photo 3). Looking forward to the shape of your bud to see if they are slightly elongated like mine are.
Keep growing talk soon
@Puffy_Clouds, smart thinking on the weights! Curious, what size/type of container are you growing in? I thought the 100L would keep them smaller, wrong wrong wrong hahaha.
Gonna be keeping this plant nice and airy, might be cleaning up every 10-14 days at this rate
High Happiness,
Sounds like you had and exciting time with the wind on your plant the other day. Phew!!!
I am surprised to see the same elongated buds forming on your plant as i saw on my indoor grow. My indoor had similar elongation (not as dense as your plant but long like that). My outdoor grow has thick heavy colas, dense with bud, the colas a thicker than a tall boy can circumference. I wish i had started a diary so you can see. I think that you would find the stark difference notable.
Also it must be getting cold for you at nights do you think you will make it to harvest? how are the trichomes looking? I am harvesting tomorrow; just in time as the temperatures are starting to dip in the night.๐
Have a fantastic weekend! im about to pack a bowl and float away,
Puffy
@Puffy_Clouds ya it's funny how even though we are growing the same strain that the buds look so different, must be a different phenom? If mine get as thick as yours I'm not sure the netting will hold!
Ya nights are getting cold, luckily this week although rainy should be warmer at night (10ยฐc). I was busy today building a shelter for her with rain in forecast next 4 days but still hoping for good finish next week.
High Happiness,
My plant seems much farther along (closer to harvest) then yours. Since we started at the same time I think this is because i am in Ontario and my plants are partly shaded throughout the day. The buds are growing quite thick and dense on my outdoor Raspberry cheesecake. the trichomes are starting to cloud up around the plant. I only have 6 colas but they are loaded with dense bud. My plant is smelling quite piney with a slight sweet smell that I cant quite place (a little fruity). the aroma on these is very faint compared to most other plants I've grown quite subtle but nice all the same. I cant wait to see your pics when the buds start to beef up. please post some pics of your buds close up. ๐
Have a great day,
Puffy
@Puffy_Clouds, that's awesome that your plant is already so developed! I bet your guess is right, little less sun a day = little earlier flower. Got some good pics up now, the stacking has begun!
I am also noticing a hint of fruity smell now but only in the last few days, I'm sure by next week she will have a good aroma. You gotta get your diary going, always fun to see the difference in the same strains!
Try growing some Dutch passion seeds if you want to grow a really tall plant sometime , I had one from them go to 14 feet last year haha , I kept the main stem as a trophy lol, I will try beating it next year , cheers to the outdoor cbd, I gots one too! Good luck and send some rain over here please
Hey I just seen this now .. looks very dopeshow.. heck ya you have a specific style to your grow itโs neat ...๐ฎ you stole my idea with the ladder I was gonna take birds eye view shot of my garden next entry
@CroNiCGman, just caught this comment, thanks for the good words gromie! 4th year doing outdoor now, learning a lot every year always trying something new, keeping what works getting rid of the rest.
Curious how this one smokes. Do you find any buzz from it? Had some thieves steal my four plants I had going this summer. Going to attempt an indoor grow soon. ๐
