Day 18
Transplanted today the plants into their 11L pots.😊
While instead i will let the Lemon Tree grow for another 4/5 days in the same pot because she only got 13 days, so I prefer to have it strengthened a little before the transplant.
Day 24
Mimosa, Meringue, and Kmintz were Topped, Defoliated and also applied a light LST to the main stems of the plants.
I will do the same for the Lemon Tree in the next 2/3 days..
I hope they have a quick recovery 🤞🏻
Day 27
LST also performed on the side branches of all plants except the Kmintz which is too small to bend its branches.
Also Today we got 21 days for the Lemon Tree which has a great shape! Carried out topping, LST and a little defoliation.. 🙌🏻
In the next few days I will let them grow them without further stress.
Have a great weekend gromies!! ☮️💚

They were started all around the same time but the zkittlez seems to be the runts of the grow. Can't get them to bush out as good as the sour grape kush.
Going to be adding a second light so its more even coverage. They are leaning more than Id like to the middle. Id rather train them in the directions I want so even light coverage coming the from top with a new light should help.
Noticed spotting caused by calcium deficiency and supplemented water with calmag and it seems to helping,
Also did first top on one of the sour grape kush plants.

~ 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!💚😎🙏

As with a lot of things in life, the harvest did not go as originally planned. I stated in my last entry in week 16, that I was going to continue the flush till I remembered and tried the dried, broken branch of C1. So I decided to harvest the plants on October 29th. Their last watering/feeding/flush was done on 10/27/21. I already had plans to take a day trip to see a MLS fútbol ⚽️ game I had tickets for on Saturday, 10/30/21; then I didn’t think parents would want to bring their kids near a house that wreaked of weed on Halloween, so not the 31st either. Then I had an appointment in the afternoon on Monday, and I didn’t want to get a late start, so not on 11/1/21 either. My wife had an appointment on Tuesday morning. Fortunately, her appointment was over by noon, so I got the chance to finally start the harvest on November 2nd.
I turned off the lights halfway through the 12 hour light schedule on Sunday morning (10/31), so my ladies received varying periods of darkness before the harvest was begun. I harvested one plant per day for three days beginning 11/2/21.
The day I started the harvest, I took all three plants outside for some pictures and to make a short video before cutting them up. The extended darkness before harvest made all three plants change their colors and become absolutely beautiful! I was very pleased with their final presentation.
02 Nov 2021 - C1
C1 was sitting in complete darkness for just under 48 hours when I took her outside to chop her up. Her buds were large, mixed with purples, blues, and pink. The trichomes glistened in the overcast sunlight and covered every bud like a protective blanket. I took some pictures of her by herself before starting her destruction.
I started by snipping her branches and laid them out on a foil covered cookie sheet. Then I took them inside and started trimming, trimming, and trimming. Her buds are very dense and super sticky! The smell is absolutely divine! It took several hours to complete the trimming, and once I was done I had no desire to continue with the next plant.
After I finished trimming all of C1’s buds, I got my wet weight on the branches before hanging them up to dry.
03 Nov 2021 - C2
C2 sat in complete darkness for nearly 72 hours before I took her out to harvest her flowers. The sun was shining, but it was windy and cold. I took some pictures of her in the sunlight and she was marvelous! Deep purples, with some pink edges mixed with some green in her foliage. She was truly a sight to behold.
Then I cut her up into pieces.
Wonderful, tight bud structure. Very dense. Trichomes a plenty and glistening! I truly love growing weed.
My house by this time is absolutely saturated with the sweet, berry, fruity scent of these wonderful buds. You might think it unpleasant, but it wasn’t.
I trimmed C2 for a long while because my hands are sore from two days of scissor snips and carefully holding and manipulating branches of sweet smelling, beautiful bud. The things we do for frosty buds!
Once I finished trimming I got the wet weight and hung it up to dry along with C1.
04 Nov 2021 - C3
C3 sat in darkness for approximately 96 hours before finally getting harvested. It had been over a week since she had any water, and she was still beautiful and vibrant!
The weather was not being friendly when I took her outside to cut her up. It started to rain lightly, so I wasn’t able to get any pictures of her before chopping her up. Sad, I know. I was in such a hurry to beat the downpour that I didn’t even think about it till it was too late. 🤷♂️ Oh well.
As with the other two; I cut off her branches and laid them out neatly on a foil covered cookie sheet and took them in to start the trimming.
As you may well imagine, I was sick and tired of trimming by this time, but I took my time to make sure that they were done well.
Once done; I got my wet trimmed weight and hung them up to dry.
Fast forward 4 days.
08 Nov 2021
C1 had been hanging to dry for 6 days, which is how long their mother took to dry. However, it was the end of summer when she was drying, and the relative humidity was between 50-60%. November is different! The humidity in my grow tent was very low at 39%, and not only was C1 super dry, but both C2 and C3 were also dry and ready for curing.
Starting with C1, I took each plant out of the tent and got the dry weight on the branches for direct comparison to the wet weight before hanging to dry. Then I separated the buds from the branches and weighed the loose bud to get the actual smokeable harvest weight. I hope you all followed that. Here’s how all the weights turned out by plant.
C1 - Wet trimmed weight: 8.566 oz.
Dry trimmed weight: 2.214 oz.
Actual harvest weight: 1.826 oz.
C2 - Wet trimmed weight: 8.332 oz.
Dry trimmed weight: 2.392 oz.
Actual harvest weight: 1.992 oz.
C3 - Wet trimmed weight: 8.750 oz.
Dry trimmed weight: 2.763 oz.
Actual harvest weight: 2.312 oz.
Blueberry Muffin Trio:
Hanging wet weight: 25.648 oz.
Complete harvest weight: 6.130 oz.
I am very happy with how this grow turned out! This Trio represent the only clones that I have ever been able to take root, and made it possible to get 4 complete grows from 1 plant. This grow was a success at the beginning, and with the experience I gained from my first three plants, the entire grow was wonderful! I hope you all have enjoyed this journey with me.
Happy growing everyone!!

Day 79 - Added 7 mL of CalMag Micro Grow and Bloom. Added 7 mL of each additive. PPM is 706.
Day 81- Using noticeably less water now. Checked PPM 475. In moving the plant to water, a small branch broke. Trichomes are mostly clear. Started to dry it as a tester for rest of the plant. It takes 7 days for me to dry the tester at 70F and 40RH. Not ideal temp but that is how it goes.
Day 82 - Might have seen first amber trichs
Day 83 - Added 10 mL of Overdrive. PPM is 430. Trichs are mostly cloudy. Hairs are 80% orange. Branches are leaning from the weight.
Day 86 - Added 5 mL of CalMag Micro Grow and Bloom. Added 5 mL of each additive. PPM is 588.

Went on vacation for few days and came back to lil disappointment with one I was using the acinfinity bottom watering pot and one plant didn’t even drink from its water reservoir I have no clue why not and other did came back to empty pot so hopefully the water I watered with from top works that’s only problem I came back to other plant is going did some defoliation
Welp today April 7th I messed around and found out what to much LST can do if ya to rough I cracked one plant right down the middle but with quick thinking got some tape and taped that hoe right up so hopefully I’m good besides that feed recharge today bout half gal each to scared to go full gallon don’t want to drown them
