12/12 - Pinky is doing her Pinky thing again... some leaves are curling down and I basically blew a raspberry at her this morning... It's almost as if she is double-daring me to actually go into a frenzy trying to correct it - but what's to correct? Half of the leaves are curling down, half of them are perfect... so if I try to fix the curling, what happens to the ones that are perfect??? So I blew a raspberry at her and told her to just do her thing... Sigh. She's also doing her sativa thing - holy cow! I had to double check her height this morning because I couldn't believe it! 10" in a week... she's now standing taller than #2Bruce who is sitting right beside her... Cripes! If I ever grow a Sativa again, I'm going to aggressively LST it from germination! This is bloody ridiculous! Meanwhile, in her 5th week on this planet and in her 2nd week of flower, the flowers are slow to develop (no wonder... damned plant is putting everything into trying to reach my 7' ceiling!). She and I have a weird relationship... on MY end, it's a love/hate relationship but for her, I think she just loves taunting me.... 12/13 - Well. I've never had THAT happen before! Her EC and her pH are EXACTLY the same as yesterday! Maybe she's chortling away at us after I blew some raspberries at her yesterday! Maybe she's saying "oh, ok... she's on to me, I guess I'll have to quit being a goof" ... but maybe she's got something else up her sleeve she'll hit me with tomorrow? Don't trust her... I really don't! LOL! 12/15 - Had a bucket change yesterday and today she's telling me I didn't give her enough PK... what a cheeky little gal... so I obliged her wanton hunger. I didn't want to give more of the KoolBloom as you can really overdo it with that so I just fed her 3 more tsps of the Bloom... and she's happy! :-D 12/17 - I am completely entranced with this lady... mesmerized...

*Week 4 Flower 09/24* Both Mimosa girls appear to be running fine with Mimosa (1) running a little behind but is catching up accordingly. Small oversight in early growth resulted in a minor stunt but she is improving dramatically. Water Feed has increased by half a gallon ( 1gallon clean - .5 gallon nute feed) *Week 4 Flower 09/28 - Mid week update* Both plants are flowering accordingly - Mimosa (1) is a bit taller then Mimosa (2) Buds are becoming dense and covered in trichomes. No deficiencies - No areas of concern - Potassium and Phosphate feeds continue *Week 5 Flower end of week recap - 09/30* Both Mimosa's are flowering nicely - Budsites covered in frosty trichomes. Mimosa (2) looks shorter but that is because her COLA was tied down to expose bottom budsites.

Two weeks of !2/12 done. Everything is going fine. My lamp is on full whack with the reds switched on, the UVA has always been on. This week I have got to keep a close eye on my run off for PH and C/f. The pond activator starts decomposing any bits of dead root, plant root excretions, even the coco itself. This results in a big jump in C/f and PH. The broad spectrum of bugs push the PH up but I stay on top of it with daily high volume run to waste using light Nutes at PH 5, by doing this the more Acidic tolerant bugs get the upper hand and after a week or so my PH will stabilise and I can cut down on the volumes of liquid I am putting through the pots. Whatever is in the activator does the job I want it to. It is a bit of a ball-ache to stabilise but after that, it is a dream. Why you may ask don't I use one of the many specific cannabis inoculations. For one Cost, an Β£8 250ml bottle will last me for a thousand years, cuts out the need for all the crap the industry tries to sell you! Also our little dancing friends, the Fungus Gnats do not like it. I get the odd one but no colony build up. Also I have not had any systemic infections in my pots since I started using it. (at least 10 years). I have thought about Infecting a glucose solution with it, then stabilising it to favour acid conditions and using that, so I don't have to monitor the first week so closely, but I'm a stoner and I can't be arsed. I have not tried pond activator in anything but Coco. I could see problems in soil regarding control. I would deffo try in full hydo though. The outdoor plant is a chemdogging S1 it germed out in the garden in a pot I thew in the garden last Autumn. A few had popped up only this one survived the bit of snow and minus temp's of three weeks ago. I lifted it threw it in a 5 litre pot in the greenhouse. I am curious about this plant as I have a number of seed from a reversed CD. I wasn't planning to start germing outdoors for a few weeks yet, but nature has jumped the gun. Today I have the secateurs out and will start taking out the bottom branches on the plants, also inspect for bollox on everything especially the ghost trains. I did say I would get plants out and photo them, but nothing needs moving, I can leave my bending till the last as my tent is 2.2 mtrs tall so I still have a bit of room to play with. In vid the back row left to right. Wedding Cake - Bit leggy and twiggy at this stage. Main cola branch is bent over but not tied down. By the time it gets back up, the other branches will have promoted themselves a bit. This plant has good girth and its habit is very similar to a USA cut I have grown. Difficult to clone relative to the others plants in this mother hunt. 14 days every other plant clone is in a pot and feeding, wedding cake is still in the starter blocks showing nothing. Back and centre, Orangesicle Looks and grows like French Cookies, it's parent ( I have a Mother FC in another universe) A nice looking plant which fimmed well, It is the smelliest plant in the grow with a very distinct Orange aroma. 4 cuts all feeding within 14 days this plant has vigour. Back right. Maltezerz. I like the look of this plant, Habit is similar to it's GG4 parent, I am expecting a yield of this plant. It has the stem and the right look. It does have a slight chocolat Hashy smell. Easy clone. Centre left. Blue Sherbelato. Did not like being fimmed or pinched out. Did that Hazy thing where the stem stretches at the node and promotes a main growing tip out of the two or four Meristems. 2nd slowest to clone, I dont have high expectations for this plant. Centre Mid. Ghost Train Number 2 . A little weed compared to the other ghost trains. Though they are 10 days younger than the rest of the grow 1,3, and 4 have overtaken size wise the other plants in tent. I may have to get it a crate to sit on otherwise it will get swamped. It cut ok . I won't dispose of the cuts just yet. The strongest green I ever smoked came from a little weedy plant. Centre right. GTH3, Big Skunky looking plant, Long internodes, Massive leaves Another plant that didn't like pinching out. Front left GTH1 Classic Haze shape it has been bent and topped and weaved in an out of itself. Cut easy. Front Centre, GTH4, The plant with weird growth. I thought this was male for a long time. It really looks a nice plant Easy cut. Front right Scotts OG. Nice vigorous plant. 'Well behaved'. It has a smell, Spicy Hash and Cookies, interesting. Easy clone. I have A male Scotts OG, Smells very similar, He's still in a 5 inch pot and getting fed up!

~ 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 β€˜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!πŸ€ͺπŸ’š ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 7/4- πŸŽ‰HAPPY 4th of JULY!πŸŽ‰ Week Fourteen of veg and things have really heated up here! Our weather is continuing with exceptionally HOT days having heat indexes over 100℉ so I've maintained my regime of watering the Wedding Cheesecake FF every day with 5-8g of straight well water from the garden hose in the late afternoon once the plant is in the shade. The FastBuds Wedding Cheesecake Fast Flower has taken the heat like a champ and is transforming into a very LARGE and bushy lady! She's at over 5 1/2 feet tall now and is still stretching! She has maintained excellent vigor, color and has shown great resistance to pests and other stressors! 7/6- Yesterday we had a thunderstorm pass through early in the day, which provided about an inch of rain in a short time. I went ahead and watered in the afternoon, but only gave the Wedding Cheesecake FF approx. 3g of water from the well. 7/8- The daily watering continues, as does our blistering hotπŸ”₯weather. All is well with the FastBuds Wedding Cheesecake Fast Flower and today, after watering, I got under the trellis net and removed a bunch of shade leaves that were growing straight down through the net... bye bye! 7/10- Well the weather and the Wedding Cheesecake FF are both on fire! Hopefully the weather will cool down soon, and the Wedding Cheesecake FF will continue to explode!🀩 There's another week of veg for this beauty and I can't wait for the flowering to begin! Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! πŸ’šGrowers Love!πŸ’šπŸ˜ŽπŸ™

Greetings, fellow cultivators! Today, I'm thrilled to share the grand finale of our journey with the remarkable Big Cheese Auto from Seeds Mafia. At day 81 from seed, she reached the pinnacle of her splendor, and the harvest was nothing short of spectacular. As I gently snipped each ripe bud, I couldn't help but marvel at the beauty and resilience of our Big Cheese Auto. From the moment she emerged as a seedling, she embodied strength, vigor, and an unwavering determination to flourish. Now, as she hangs upside down to dry for the next two weeks, I'm filled with a profound sense of gratitude for the privilege of witnessing her growth. Our journey with the Big Cheese Auto has been nothing short of extraordinary. From the excitement of germination to the meticulous care during vegetative growth, from the anticipation of flowering to the aromatic crescendo of the harvest, each phase has been a testament to the plant's resilience and the joy of cultivation. The journey began with a tiny seed, a promise of potential waiting to be fulfilled. With the nurturing support of the Autopot system and the guidance of Aptus Holland's nutrients, our Big Cheese Auto thrived, transforming into a botanical marvel with each passing week. From the emergence of her first true leaves to the explosion of trichome-rich buds, she captivated us at every turn. A heartfelt thank you to Seeds Mafia for providing the genetics that sparked this incredible journey. Your seeds have not only produced exceptional plants but have also inspired a community of passionate cultivators. Your dedication to quality and innovation is truly commendable, and I am grateful for the opportunity to cultivate such remarkable genetics. Before the trimming and curing process begins, I took the time to capture the beauty of our Big Cheese Auto in a special photo shoot. Each snapshot is a testament to her magnificence, a visual ode to the journey we've shared together. To the entire community, both near and far, thank you for accompanying me on this horticultural odyssey. Your support, encouragement, and shared passion for cultivation have made this journey all the more rewarding. Let's continue to cultivate greatness together! Thank you for being a part of this incredible journey! Wishing you all abundant harvests and joyful cultivation endeavors ahead!

Week 8 Plant Growth Summary Lighting: Light schedule remains under review, currently around 16.67 hours as part of the ongoing reduction plan. The goal is to reach 15 hours of light by the week of May 26, aligning with civil twilight to avoid triggering early flowering during the eventual outdoor transition. Irrigation & Feeding: Began the week with 4 gallons of nutrient solution in the reservoir (standard feeding levels). Midweek, the reservoir was flushed and cleaned, then refilled with 3 gallons of plain water at pH 6.5 to help balance conditions. Training & Maintenance: Performed light pruning of lower leaves showing signs of nutrient burn or receiving insufficient light. Continued low-stress training with soft ties to open up canopies and encourage light penetration to new growth. Blueberry Muffin was topped this week to encourage bushier growth. Overall Plant Health: Both plants are looking healthy and responding well to training. Adjustments are continuing in anticipation of the mid-May transplant outdoors.
