Pound cake has been a top performer staying right behind purple punch in growth. Large leaves developed outward at a fast pace as well.

Pound cake is hopefully full height now, not much vertical space left. No issues, happy plant, super easy to grow. No change on Nutrients this week. Half gallon daily seems sufficient.

Just a beautiful east growing plant. Added supplemental lighting due to the large canopies. I take a very hands off approach, let the gentics and the plant do it their way. Looks like it will live up to its name, so many buds on this girl.

Defoliation was done this week, open up the canopy for better light and wind flow. Sugar leaves are starting to change to a red color. Trichomes look long and abundant. Beautiful plant to grow.

Light defoliation done as needed this week. Leaves are showing more colors. Vertical growth has stopped. The buds are really beefing up, looking dense and delicious 😋. We're almost to harvest!

11/17 started the flush until harvest. Plain tap well water, ph of well water is 7.3- 7.6 Pistols are orange and shrinking. Sugar leaves have a beautiful red on the edges and almost a red hue to the buds. It's a large yield plant for sure, large dense buds. Lives up to the name pound cake!

The name says it all! It's a fatty! Main cola is absolutely massive, we'll see how big once I trim. I always cut and hang the whole plant immediately. It's winter in Minnesota and humidity is low, drying the whole plant slows the drying. Very easy plant to grow, hardy, looks like a big yield.

Chopped 11/25 after a humidifier failure. I had planned on a few more days, but the plants were definitely ready to harvest. I'll post pictures and weight after dying and trimming. Great beginner or experienced grower strain. If yields are what you're after, pound cake should be on your list!

Good luck with your grow. I have a few different fastbuds autos going right now and my banana purple punch is almost done. Let me get some likes if you have time and I’ll do the same. Good grows.

Hey I have some of these seeds and I have been thinking about running them soon. How manybdo you think would fit in a 2x4 tent ?

Northstar_cannabiscommented3 months ago
@Ninjabuds, 2 would probably be best based of the one I grew. They like space, and buds are huge if they get enough light. Good luck! Happy growing.
