Buds seriously starting to fatten up, put out some serious trichomes and smell this week. Smell has intensified quite alot since last week soon as you open the tent the smell smacks you in the face. More trichomes by the day looking like a serious smoke. Upped the EC to 2 for this week to try and get a much out of these as possible. I won't be going any higher than a 2 EC so I don't fry my plants. Some orange hairs starting to appear on both the cereal milk and wedding cake.

At this point I realized the plants wouldn't fit under the lights footprint. I have another light on the way so I decided to take the smallest one and put it outside and then topped all of its branches. Outdoor plant is being moved off of its bloom nutrients and back to neg because it will re-veg now. Indoor plant doesnt have any pictures but is continuing OK.

Day 36. Morning. Girls are stretching, some are above 50 cm, others still can't beat even 20. Will regroup pots a bit to expose smallest girls. Pure phed water. No hermie signs and thats good ;)) All girls very healthy, thinking to give silica next watering. Day 40. What an Idiot I am ;)))))) Girls just blasted away. All my hopes for one huge cola - gone. Girls just grow, they are bushy, but leaves cover each other and sweat. I decided to do defoliation on day 15-18 of flower, but ... All girls are different !!! Some just building preflowers, some are on day 10 of flower, some still in veg !!! If you check any my diary, 2-3 days is max and all leaves are regrowing, so i can't defoliate in rounds by maturity, neighbours will cover defoliated one. And i can't do all in one go, some will be totally in wrong day for such stress. Time for new strategy ... Just i don't know which, what and when ;)))) Day 41. Job done. Slaughtered them last night. Looks ok at the end of day, let's see how many hermie i woke up ;))))

Week 13: Week 5 Flower—A Garden in Full Bloom 🌸✨ Hey, Grow Fam! 💚 We’re deep into Week 13, and this room is nothing short of mesmerizing. Each plant is unique, showcasing its trichome-coated beauty, with white hairs dancing in their distinct patterns. It’s the culmination of patience, hard work, and overcoming challenges. The two-layered canopy—thanks to some ambitious young ones—is a testament to adaptability and dedication. 🌱🌟 Feeding Update: Aptus Holland Breakout Powder This week, we introduced Aptus Holland Breakout Powder into the feeding mix at 0.5g/L, alongside the nutrients already in use. This powerhouse additive is designed to promote robust flower development, enhancing both density and resin production. Breakout Powder brings that extra “oomph” to the table, helping the girls truly break out into their full flowering potential. 🌺💪 Combined with our existing recipe, the results are already starting to show. Buds are swelling, trichomes are shimmering, and the room smells heavenly. If you’ve ever wondered what a well-rounded feeding schedule can do, this week’s results are the answer! TrolMaster Magic: Monitoring & Stability I’ve included a few TrolMaster app prints to share my love for this system. It’s not just about controlling the environment; it’s about mastering it. The app provides real-time data, historical records, and an unmatched level of convenience. Whether I’m sipping coffee or working in the garden, the system keeps me in sync with my grow. This week, I’m particularly thrilled about how stable the pH levels have become since transitioning to full mineral-based nutrients. Unlike the organic-mineral combo, which required frequent adjustments, the current setup is practically self-sufficient. This stability means happier roots, more consistent nutrient uptake, and ultimately, better plants. The data speaks for itself—check out the comparison print! Comfort & Style: My Aptus Holland Pants Oh, and can we talk about how comfortable my Aptus Holland pants are? These have become my go-to garden gear. Stylish, functional, and perfect for spending long hours among the plants. Let’s just say, my plants aren’t the only ones dressed to impress! 😂👖 Shoutouts & Gratitude As always, a huge thank you to the amazing people and brands that make this journey possible: • TrolMaster for the tech that keeps me connected to my grow. • Aptus Holland for the nutrients that take my plants to the next level. • Pro Mix for the growing medium that supports this foundation. • Cannakan for ensuring my seeds get the perfect start. • And of course, the seed banks for these incredible genetics.

Really happy with how things are looking, despite expecting slightly larger buds. I think next time, I'll defoliate and lollipop a bit more to focus the plants energy on the main tops. It stinks like mint, skunk, and sweet. Really nice trichome coverage, lots of dank buds in the mix here. Even the lowers that aren't getting as much light are looking dank. I started the week out around 500ppm and steadily dropped to below 400ppm. The ppms kept creeping up every time I'd drop them...so I kept dropping them to see where it would stabilize. I ended the week at 381ppm. In preparations for harvest, I'll plan to steadily reduce the ppm to about 200ppm, rather than doing a flush with RO. I'm working with really great starting water between 50-80ppm, which absolutely requires CalMag at .5 to .75 tsp/g.

June 30, 2019 at 2am / Day 23: 4.5" maximum height. Light LST and I defoliated 2 inner leaves for light penetration below. Light moved to 24" above canopy. I moved it up a bit higher than usual to promote vertical growth and for stretch across the 5 gallon pot. I have been keeping the light between 12 and 18 inches, and hope to be back at those heights soon. Watered with PH 6.07. Second runoff PH 6.44. I water the whole 5 gallon pot with a little more than 1 liter every 2 days. July 1, 2019 at 3pm / Day 24: Nice vertical growth at 5" maximum height prior to LST. Breezing through LST and light pruning of inner leaves. Hard to notice if there are delays from the stress. I'd say that there are and it is minimal. The exposure to stress and extra light may outweigh the stress. She seems really strong and happy. lol 9:00 pm more LST. July 2 at 1am / Day 25: Gone into preflower. Maximum height 6". Light moved back down to 14" above canopy. Watered with PH 6.1. Second runoff at PH 6.42. Watering is now 1L every day to day and half max. 2pm: Light moved to 18", Light LST at 3:30pm. 6pm: Light moved back to 14" at night and 18" in the day. July 3 at 3pm / Day 26: After minimal LST maximum height at 5.75". 6" at 10 pm. July 4 at Day 27: Defoliated and mixed in a very teeny teeny, tiny sprinkle of Gaia Green 4-4-4 slow release nutes and watered my 3 plants. A little less than my fingertips could hold of the dry mix nutes. Mixture at PH 6.1.

This is my wife’s and I first grow and we’re really excited about it even though we’re on a super budget! Here’s a few tips about our set up: Our MarsHydro 1000 Broke So we’ve been using multiple factory in workshop LEDs and lights to ghetto rig a budget late set up. Any advice would be more than welcomed!

experimental one is going craaaazy, i mean look at those huge buds 😳 ---------- as for the main box, well, it's strange to be honest, buds look soo small 😞 both plants are absolutely healthy showing no deficiencies whatsoever, root-balls are absolutely great, so I think the fattening is going to happen in following weeks? ---------- end of the week update: – experimental box is in the ripening phase = res change to TA FinalPart 4ml/L; also did first under-microscope pictures and those trichomes look awesome! I give it like 2 weeks – main box is fattening af, wonderful show going on!

~ 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: 6/1- Ten weeks from seed and the FastBuds Wedding Cheesecake Fast Flower has the pedal to the firewall now! Today I top dressed the Wedding Cheesecake Fast Flower with 2 cups of Gaia Green 4-4-4, 1 cup of Down to Earth Bio Fish along with 1/2 gallon of worm castings. After top dressing and working the amendments into the soil by hand, I watered it in via garden hose with straight well water. 6/3- Rained hard today so I skipped watering the Wedding Cheesecake FF. 6/5- Today was sunny and warm. I watered the Wedding Cheesecake Fast Flower with straight well water from the garden hose. 6/7- There goes another week for the Wedding Cheesecake Fast Flower from FastBuds and she continues to impress and amaze me. I hope to see you next week! Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

11/3 This week the girls seem to be growing more than an inch per day with more branches then previous grows, these girls are 21" to 24.5" tall on Day 22. I did mix in some aged dried horse manure I use in my vegetable garden into my soil mix when I transplanted last week from 4" pots to 3gal grow bags, This grow is slightly different, its got more of everything, I wonder what would happen if I used the worm castings I have in my garden compose buckets in my next grow. I usually get cuttings for clones at the next trimming & transplant coming up in the next 7-days from now to 7 gals grow bags where it will finish off to harvest

Plants are growing at a nice pace especially dealing with the extra high PH runoff

I was very surprised at the remarkable growth of both plants. Tree 1 gives me a clear view of the superiority of height compared to the previous week. The copper buds clearly show the enormous size, I am trying to increase the amount of nutrition to promote the maximum growth in size and taste.

Flower Week 0 Day 0 to 6 - 3/18 to 3/24 Flip Week. I used Flip - Day 1(63) Schwazze extreme defoliation and plan to do it again on flip day 21. This seems to encourage growth of the buds while allowing more airflow and training space in my grows. In which I used HST of he center colas of P1 and the center branches on P2 Feed this week was again an auto pot reservoir feed at 600ppm total before add-ins. I used 450ppm Veg concentrate mix (recipe week 2) and 150ppm Bloom concentrate mix (recipe week 5). However, I also added 1ml/gal of CaliMagic (General Hydroponics 1-0-0) and ph balance this week was for 5.8 where Io plan to maintain it until harvest. They should be mostly root feeding now and this should help with the uptake of nutes. Next week nutes will increase in Bloom mix again but also reduce in Veg mix. Feed will be 650ppm before add-ins with 5.8ph before feeding. Training of stretch will also happen next week.

D22. The girls look so much better at the start of the fourth week of veg — vibrant colors without interveinal chlorosis and no more twisted leaves. I hope they have enough veg time to fill in before starting to flower. I installed the rest of the blumat drip system but haven't turned it on since I still need to hand-water in the SF nematodes to combat the fungus gnats. I will start with LST this week, and I attached binder clips around each pot to prepare. ------------------------------ D24. I gave each one liter of water @ pH 6.8, mixed with SF nematodes, humic acid, fulvic acid, sprouted seed tea, and bokashi juice. I also put half an avocado on the soil in each pot to keep the worm buddies fed and happy. Tomorrow, I'll start LST. ------------------------------ D26. The first girl is showing variegation on one leaf. I started with LST yesterday, and the DLI was bumped up to 36. ------------------------------ D28. We're at the end of the fourth week of veg, and I think they are heading into flower soon as they have started to smell. More LST to spread them out, although I suspect that the second girl will stay small. ------------------------------

July 3: Great week for new growth and plants are starting to send out first flowers. Big stretch on height. About another inch of rain (2.5 cm) this week and soil has plenty of moisture. Today saw some amazing clear sky and strong sun. Expecting the flowers to start stacking. Still need to mulch around the plants. First resin smells amazing sweet and floral, similar to roses.
