growing chem pie was amazing from start to finish, he made beautiful buds covered in resin. Every day it was wonderful to go and see how it blooms. during cultivation I came across two completely different phenotypes. One had rather more open but very firm buds, but the other was more like a crossbow and also firm buds. During drying, a little mold appeared on one of the bud, but otherwise everything is fine. after a month of curing, the taste of the smoke was very pronounced.

First week of flower is over. She handled the light change and nutrient change without any issues. last bit of LST was completed and last major defoliation had also been done. From now on I will only defoliate when leaves are covering other shoots. She was already smelling strong before, but it keeps on getting stronger and stronger. Definitely not a stealthy strain in the smell department.

Пришлось захарвить Purple Punch на 52 дне цветения (106 дней всего), хотя трихомы еще молочные, некоторые даже прозрачные. Можно было еще несколько дней подержать на чистой воде. Причина раннего харвеста злая и беспощадная - серая плесень. На предыдущей квартире, в гораздо хужих условиях, проведено 8 циклов без единого очага плесени. В моем текущем месте жительства бокс стоит возле северной стены, на которой постоянно появляется плесень, сделать с этим ничего нельзя без утепления стены. Поскольку я жилье арендую, видимо, плесень будет сопровождать каждый цикл выращивания, пока я здесь 😬 Следующий сорт будет OMG от Ripper Seeds, посмотрим, сможет ли он противостоять плесени и быть не хуже по эффекту, чем Пунш. Потому что Purple Punch - это нечто, мне нравится его убойный эффект 😋

This week's been business as usual. During my reservoir refill, I did notice my pH pen reporting some odd readings. This may have been due to a low battery but needless to say, I changed the batteries and recalibrated. Should be about... two more weeks? ha

Hey y'all, how is life? I'm doing alright and my Purple Lemonade also! We are close to chopping time and this beautiful lady start spreading its fragrance through all my flat, amazing! Buds developed pretty good and I start seeing full white trichomes hence I start guvibg her only plain pHed water and will do so for the last 10 days/couple weeks. Another week in the books peeps! We'll meet in 7 days! Stay high, stay safe lads!

This week went well, I did some defoliation, as I am trying to keep the bud sites down on this grow, to hopefully get some tighter and denser buds. I did start adding Liquid Kool Bloom which is a P/K booster. I am now feeding at 1.65 EC. They are still stretching a little bit, but really seem to be focusing on flower growth more than anything at this point. Some very nice smells starting to come from the box. Thanks for checking out my diary and blaze on.

This run came out even better than I expected! This beautiful bud has sweet sugar like undertones with powerful hints of lemon and a small hint of pine as well. I would highly recommend everyone to try this if they were to grow any autoflower out there it is by far the easiest auto I’ve ever had and the prettiest in the tent. I have also pressed some into wax since it dried and cured for a few weeks and it literally looks like peanut butter and jelly it’s a light creamy color with purple as well and taste so amazing it’s actually my favorite rosin I’ve ever pressed. Harvested at day 53 Flower fed floraflex the whole run no cal-mag.

Plants + Fertilization At the beginning of this week (and after the stresses and strains of the last few weeks), I decided to give the soil a little boost so that it could get back on track to reach its full potential. For this, I mixed approx. 1 part worm humus and biochar with about 2 parts lukewarm water and let the mixture sit for 30 minutes. This is significantly shorter than recommended, but should still be enough for the biochar to absorb the organisms and then release them into the substrate later. [Without this charging process, the charcoal can also undergo this loading process within the substrate due to its microporous structure, and with that, actually draw nutrients from the soil!] Besides that, I looked more into the living soil topic and now think that what I noticed at some leaves might actually be a normal side effect from the living soil. The assimilation of nutrients is more complex than in traditional setups and the plant itself takes a bigger part in balancing the whole symbiose of every part of that system. (You can't just 'give' the system the nutrients it needs, it needs to make them available on its own.) *Gorilla Z Auto was 20 cm tall, Mimosa Cake Auto 12 cm. Environment + Organisms +Pests Due to the removal of the sand and the watering, the humidity rose by about 10% and is now exactly where I wanted it to be at this point in time. A little hack: I filled a stainless steel bowl with water and placed it on the lamp's cooling element. This not only cools the lamp and extends its life, but also creates slight thermal turbulence and increases the humidity in the tent. II also noticed some kind of mites (I guess Oribatida?) that seem to help deconstruct the organic matter - another sign that the soil is still eager to work! At day 47 I also (again) implemented 2 sticky fly traps, to 1: observe what kind of critters I have in my setup and 2: keep the Sciaridae under controle. As you can see, there are already some gnatson there (1 day after placing them) but also a hugh amount of spingtails. This is a bit unfortunate, since I want them in my system, but also ain't a significant problem, as it only affects a fraction of the springtails. LST The Mimosa Cake Auto grows extremely densely and needs to be defoliated almost daily, otherwise the leaves pile up and form literal reservoirs of moisture. For this reason, I also regularly remove side shoots. My goal for all shoots is to be at least 5-10 cm apart so that they don't grow into each other. (I will introduce a SCROG in 1-2 weeks). Apart from that, the Mimosa could be on the verge of developing a small crack at the top of the main stem, as the nodal spacing is so small that the side shoots completely fill that nodal spacing with their diameters, thus building up a lot of tension. (Pre-)Flower During my observation, I noticed that one of the axillary pre-flowers appeared to be a male pollen sac, which I removed as a precaution - just to be safe. Besides that, no abnormalies. (Living) Soil On day 49, I decided to conduct a soil analysis using a pH test. This is the most important indicator of healthy (living) soil and should be roughly between 6 and 7, ideally between 6.4 and 6.6. According to the test results, my soil is a little too alkaline, but should still be within the acceptable range. Top dressings with leaves or wurm castings and the decompositional processes within the soil should make the it more acidic anyway - I will support this by watering with stale tap water or rainwater.

These are the seeds from my auto breeding project earlier this year. That diary link can be found here: https://growdiaries.com/diaries/129779-grow-journal-by-m0use Germinated by scarification of the seed with an emery board then soaking in water for 12hrs, I added in the step of paper towel for another 12hrs then planted outside with myco in the hole. Watered in with some LABS "Lactic Acid Bacteria Serum [Lactobacillus]" and Transplanter MS-CS RootRescue. They all popped up within a few days after planting outside. They are in a acti-sol fortified soil and should not need much love. I ran out of mesh to protect them so bamboo spikes will keep the birds at bay... hopefully. I also have a twin setup of these seeds but in a planter with heavy soil, they will be running side by side for comparison.

Hi! Just harvest both plants, left them with all their leaves and whole main branch intact. Just removed the light panels and hanged them on the same tent. I’m using some cardboard to cover the recently watered soil, blumats are still running to support the life on the soil through the next amendment and new plants that will come shortly (after the drying period finishes, about 2 weeks for a slow drying process). That’s it :)

16th June More info on that day in week 8. 18th June 👉[550W @ 28C @ 58%]👈 550W seems pretty good. Safer option then 600W. I don't see the shroomy to grow bigger so I'm watching closely. When the veil gonna start to break, Im gonna cut the shroomy, leave the mycelium and repeat if needed. The plant where the shroomy is, lookin crazy good.

Hi buddies im back to the diary Everything is going well, the girls drink a lot 3 to 5 liters of feed per day, the Ph and EC remain stable. I see new roots and buds continue to bloom💣 so I think they are fine and healthy. Sensi Seeds indicates Skunk#1 with 8 weeks flowering now i am at the beginning of week 7 bloom but I still don't see milky or amber trichomes and not even so many brown pistils, so i will repeat the week 5 feed as AN advice... maybe from the next one I'll start with overdrive .. who knows? 😁 I made some macro videos of the trichomes, in the next few days I will update the diary with photos. Thanks for the answers and advices to the grow questions, I know you don't do it for the free seeds, its only love 💚😜 love you too buddies as usual thanks for stopping by and good growth everyone !! Update: I need a tripod to take better macro shoots. Sorry for low quality pics

Removed all the LST clips and did a very light defoliation She is stacking up very nicely. At least a couple weeks left until chop. I’m gonna feed for the next 10 days and then damper off and begin to flush next week.

01/03/22 Watered plants 2L of nutrient water each , assessed plants to determine what LST I'm doing, looks like these plants have potential to be monsters. Let's hope I don't fuck it up now. 01/01/22 Topped and defoliation was done, didn't water that day even though they needed it I wanted to give them a day or two from the stress they went through, watching to make sure they didn't wilt. Its paying of not listening to my ocd mind thinking I need to do something everyday, I didn't even want to top them, but they where looking very kushy type of plant. And I have trellis going in later two tiers. 01/08/22 Did a full water threw tested run off , it's sitting 800ppm above what I'm feeding, next watering straight 6.0ph water. Lights at 💯%

~ 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: 5/3- Week Six is here and the Wedding Cheesecake Fast Flower by FastBuds is on a mission! Yesterday, I spread straw over the entire mound of soil and surrounding area to help keep the soil from drying out so fast and the watered with well water through a hose. 5/5- I'm noticing that something has taken a likening to the plant and is eating holes in her shade leaves. I went ahead and sprayed her down with Neem oil and will keep an eye out to try and determine what/who the culprit is. 5/7- Rain showers today handled the watering duties and all I did was to add some straw to a couple of bare spots on the mound. 5/9- I'm not seeing much in the way of any new damage to the leaves of the Wedding Cheesecake FF and I am continuing with the Neem oil preventative along with spreading some powdered cayenne pepper around the base of the plant to take care of any slugs that may think of trying a taste of cheesecake! There's another week gone by for this lady. The weather is getting better by the week and her growth is responding to it. The next weeks should be fun! Stay Blessed! Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏
