Closing thoughts. Damn easy plant to grow responds well to training have fairly uniformed plants only on kept the purple trait but that's ok we can selection breed for that. I am happy I decided to go this route with the breeding the girl scout diesel really complemented the mother plant

Starting a second seed of this Wedding Cake strain from Lifted, a rec grower. The first seed has some interesting mutations going on that I did not see in any of the four plants last year. Hopefully this one comes out strong and uniform. If it does, I’ll likely clone it and hit the clone with some colloidal silver to reload. I have 9 seeds left, but it would be nice to have some extras. I really scored with these seeds. I put a few photos of a plant from the same seed stock. As you can see, the plant is very robust. I also found it very durable, pest and weather resistant. It also provides high yields. The research I’ve done says that Lifted’s Wedding Cake strain comes from a clone of the Seed Junky strain, which I believe to be the original strain. Whether the seeds I found in my rec store purchase are from cross pollination, genetics or stress, I’m not sure. However, given that I popped 4 seeds last year and had four females, I feel pretty confident that the seeds are from stress or genetics. So they would be feminized. No topping, just some serious LST. This year, I plan to top the stronger of the two and FIM the other.

Was a 26 and some change week grow. Was vegged under the Viparspectra P4000, and flowered under 2 Mars Hydro ts 1000's. Also flowered in a Mars Hydro 3x3x6 tent, with a 4 inch inline smart controller fan and filter combo. Worked really well together, and a ideal environment. She is super sticky, colorful and loaded with trichromes. Now gotta wait for her to dry and process it. Thank you PEV Seeds. Viparspectra, and Mars Hydro. 🤜🤛🌱 There is a harvest video om my YouTube channel. The link is on my main profile page. Thank you grow diaries community for the likes, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel . Happy growing and happy holidays. 🌱🌱🌱🎄 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

This has been such an incredible learning experience, back in December a friend and I got bored and decided to build a tent with some scraps in my garage and a single CFL in a reptile heat lamp 🤦‍♂️and try and grow the seeds I had been sitting on for a few years. The cfl broke almost immediately and poor little lato spent the first few days of her life in the dark waiting for a cheap led from Amazon. At the beginning of this grow we had no idea what we were doing and honestly no faith we could grow anything but mid bud but it was just abt the experience. Both of us spent most of our days researching and learning about cannabis and organic growing. We ended up deciding on a small company called Dragonfly earth medicine and used their full line of bacteria based nutes/supplements (radiant green, fat flowers, brilliant black, lush roots and natural Mystik) to make teas with worm castings and molasses. I wet trimmed a couple nugs just to see what I prefer seeing as I’ve never done this before. Got everything hung up in her tent with the exhaust fan on the lowest setting. Hopefully everything goes well. I know I started this diary late but thank you guys for all the support if you have any questions or feel like I’m missing anything feel free to reach out.

12th week. I removed some unwanted yellow leaves. I really like this plant, nothing changed, watering happens the same way and same amount of water. I am so excited. Really nice flowers on it and stinky like citrus smell and sweet very well coated with THC. Beautiful plant and really short.😅 I just checked the trichomes and they are still immatured, not even milky. Very strong smell and big buds. Beautifully coated with THC everywhere. I love this plant. Fan leaves started getting yellow as well. I think it is 4 weeks more approximately to be finished. I removed some fan leaves the biggest ones as it started turning yellow because the plants takes the energy out of it. Better airflow and more light to the flowers, and good tea for me from the leaves 🥂🤪😇 I also set the lamp distance to be 20 cm. End of the week Purple Punch is 43 cm.

This little girl started her journey on April 4th with germination into a water glass and finished up on June 27/20 – Day 78 from germination. She was a fun grow and was very resilient through the whole run. She spent most of her grow time in a 20/4 light schedule. She formed nice frost levels and stayed to a very nice and manageable height of roughly 20” tall without topping or bending her main stem. She was not as fussy about nutrient levels and took them well. She does like her medium on the dryer side though. Small little auto bush of OG Kush crossed with Indica genes😃 She would make a nice a plant to run while you are vegging out some photos for 6 or 8 weeks as she is not very big in size but will swell up and yield decent weight👍 She was grown in a 3 gallon fabric pot with coco coir and maybe 15% perlite. She was fed salt based nutrients……..so sorry but they are flushed out and that is what I am more comfortable with. Focus on the early growth with microbes, fungi and kelp!! She was fed the normal pattern with pH being held around the 5.4 to 5.8 range in feeding. Then as flower approached, I gave the pots a more consistent look at the runoff numbers and she was running 7.8pH coming out of her!!!!! WTF. She stayed in her pot that she was planted in and fought this issue all through the rest of her grow. The pH issues started surfacing around week 3….as we headed into flower of course. Scratching my head for weeks, I ultimately didn’t change anything other than really low pH feeding going in…….below 4 idea. For weeks she had 3.9 water going in and still getting 7.8 running off. I initially felt it was related to cheap fabric bags so I cut slits in the very bottom of the bags that stayed and tried transplanting other girls into plastic pots, which it can be fabric pot issues but I am not as convinced anymore for this run that there was an issue there, wasn’t sure about giving her Magnesium on top of Magnesium and therefore did I mess her up good on the inside early on in week 2 idea, out of options I changed back to RO water and that seems to have solved my issues……I was using tap water that was not filtered this run🤬 The pH was high so that was adjusted but with the ppm being at 185 to 200 range I chose not to buy a filter and just dechlorinated the water only. I was tired of lugging 5 gallon water bottles in and out of the basement😃 That is a difference from all other grows…..silly for not catching this by week 4! So…….back to lugging bottles in and out of the basement😂😂😂 She really started to take shape around weeks 7 and 8 and formed a beautiful little cannabis plant and grew to 20” tall and roughly 18” wide. Main focus with her was to just perform LST on side branches and let the top go…….I wanted to just let her go and see what would happen to her main cola for size and height……plus I don’t do that…….I always bend over the tops on my grows so this was a little different for myself. She grew very nice leaves and a lot of them. This pheno had a lot of leaves to her and that is fine……its not really my first choice in characteristics of a plant though..…..so much more work at trim time……Green Poison XL Auto, SWS71, was a dream to trim👍 as a comparison!! She didn’t fox tail very much she firmed up her buds towards the end. The resin production was a little slower coming out in her but by week 7/8 she was getting pretty impressive😋😋😋 White and sticky!! She smelt of woods with citrus notes…..works for me👌 There were no issues at all retaliated to pests or bugs……I threw in a couple sticky traps but there weren’t any to catch. She handled the high humidity in this run great and there were no signs of any powdery mildew👍👍👍 She is a very stable strain from Sweet Seeds! Day 63 was last feeding, flushed for almost two weeks. Rezin and Liquid Weight still given for one of the weeks but the last week was plane water. In hind-site I think I should have hit her with some Flawless Finish to help get that last bit out of her. She did feed on most of her nutrients but some of the lower leaves were still more green that I would have liked. She was cut down on day 77…..11 weeks is about what I suspect looking at her in week 7…….this was roughly 8 weeks flower time……makes sense😃 She grew for 75 days and then I decided what the heck…….she needs a hole in her stem to stress her out😃 I didn’t try breaking a branch but rather drilled a hold into the base of her stem……something new to try out. I think I will try more holes next time….max 3 I think……then I want to run a couple with cracking their stems and see if there is a difference👍 I feel more in control of a drill and its accuracy vs bending branches and they snap where they want to…….anyway it was worth a try!!!! Worst case, it made it easy to hang her as a whole plant to dry😃 This girl battled pH issues all her life and as a result the buds were not where I would have liked them. There were not fluffy…..but here were not as hard as I would like for rolling joints, so the whole girl went to concentrates She dried for 7 day as a whole plant, 2 days more in smaller branches, then 1 day curing in jars before dry ice sift. She yielded 74g of dry cured buds, 2.65 ounces. Not bad…..I don’t think her buds would have gotten a lot bigger but they certainly would have had more weight if they firmed up…..grower issue, not genetics. So…..lets make some rosin from this girl🤩 The yields on this and making her hash a perfect colour are not what this process is about…..let’s get that out of the way right away……this is about another way to enjoy and consume my cannabis for my own relaxation and medicinal needs. Taking pictures of rosin is always a challenge…..it is always dark in the pictures unless you are using a nice DSLR to let more light in. Rather than making bubble hash with water, I just used the bags to make a dry ice kief from the buds. Unfortunately I couldn’t get a block of dry ice and had to use these cubes…….don’t like these as much because there are too many surfaces beating your green plant material and your kief goes green before long when shaking. Could have done it with out ice all together…..nicer hash but lots left on the plant afterwards that way so yield is low. Used two bags in this extraction, the 220 as the bag for edibles and the 120 as the bag for pressing rosin to smoke…..dry ice hash rosin!! The yield on this from the 74g of bud was 22.4g kief. 220 bag was 12.6g and the 120 bag was 9.8g. Not great I guess but I didn’t want to keep going for 4 and 5 minutes with the bags…..these were roughly 2 minutes with the 220 being 3 minutes on the high side. You can certainly see that the 120 product is more golden in colour than the 220 but since I didn’t crazy, the 220 is still a very nice colour. Last step on this journey was then to take the kief and make our rosin. I pressed product using 37um bags with the temp set at 160 degrees. All were done the same for the most part……roughly 4 gram presses, the same temperature, and the time. The first presses were 90 to 120 seconds. If a second press was done on the pouch, then it was at the same temp but for only 40 to 50 seconds. The yield on this was just shy of 7 grams…….6.77g…..roughly 30% yield from Kief???,…..roughly 9.2% from flower???…….would have likely done better right from flower😂 😂 😂 it was fun, regardless of the yield😃 Tasty rosin!!!! Can’t beat rosin for getting the true tastes of the plants. These numbers are absolutely due to my abilities with extraction.......sure don’t judge the genetics based on my returns......she is a frosty plant and will give great returns!!!👍👍 Several pictures show that, I hope!! So that will wrap up this diary for Sweet Seeds Killer Kush Auto, SWS56. Certainly give this girl some consideration if you like OG Kush and also have space concerns in your grow. She is beautiful frosty little girl with a punch. Certainly get the usual woody and citrus notes from her rosin and she has a lasting high. She helps to get get you going and willing to finally start cleaning that corner of the room you have been avoiding…….watch out though…..distractions😃……next thing you know 40 minutes go by and you are staring at a box of DVD’s wondering what happened to CD’s…….cassette tapes (the art of the “mix tape”), 8 tracks, vinyl……ALBUM COVER ART Baby!!!!!! Then its either back for another rip, or get your crap done because the next rip leads into even less work getting done😃😃 Great job as usual @Sweet_Seeds !!! Looking forward to the next one……Cream 47 photoperiod……actually, already done germination and a new diary coming👍👍…..compare a 3 gal pot to a 5 gal pot, or a fabric vs air pot, and see what my yield differences are?? Thanks for the read and greatly appreciate the comments Growmies!!!!! Love spending time on a forum for growers to help fellow growers. Much grower love and thanks again for your time, opinions, and suggestions🙏🙏🙏 Cheers!!

I'm finally ending this strain and for a minute I had posted the last 2 weeks as a different name... I'm an idiot. From now on, its all going to be different strains so I won't need to keep too much track on what I'm growing. I have several plants right now and will be doing more videos on my youtube channel. PROUD_TO_GROW_LOUD Bros pro grow show. YouTube and Instagram have way more than here. Check it out!

Hey little growers. Everything looks great. I rotated my lamps 90° and placed them in the middle. If anyone has a better idea to align the two more effectively, I'm all ears.

so week 11.. The gorillaz are carrying on beautifully, however I realised having 5 plants sharing one reservoir is now quite a bad idea.. 2/5 of them look to be well into flower, fattening up and some tri's starting to turn cloudy but look like theres still plenty of fattening up to do. The other 3 are now just beginning to fully pistil up so will still be requiring flowering nutes when I should be beginning a flush on the other 2.. any comment or advice on this would be greatly appreciated!? The Stardawgs have basically grown into tennis balls. Such a vast majority of bud sites all the way down look so much larger than I could ever have hoped and i've had to tie some of the buds to the main colas!! I will Be starting the flush this week as most Tri's are now cloudy i'd say around 4/5 currently but more throrugh macros will be taken as the days progress. The only problem i've had is some of the sugar leaves on 2 of the plants have really taken a beating and show some strange signs. I think the LED's aren't to be under estimated and i've battled some burning and what seems to be calmag issues through the grow.

I decided to just germinate 1 of the 3 seeds for the fastbud outdoor cup, wish me good luck people 👐🌅👌 The 26th of april i put the seed in water with some peroxide 27th of april she showed a tiny root already so I've placed the seed in a jiffy 2 days later, the 29th of april i already saw her head appearing 🌱 so i placed her in a small pot, and after that i assumed that i did wrong and should have placed her in the final pot (that happens too auto noobs as i always grow fem.) Next week i will place her in a 7 liter pot

Hello and welcome to week 2 of veg phase for these five Epsilon F1 Hybrid ladies. Last week is now complete with daily updates and media so please check it out. For this week well frankly I am expecting massive growth. I have taken 3 fingered leaves from Normani today and five fingered from Ally. It takes more time to photo and diarise but it is rewarding to look back on! See you tomorrow! Day 9: Nothing to report. Sorry for lazy photos. Oh... I joined twitter @UnorthadoxDude Day 10: Fertigated 5l. Loving Ally's party hands 👈👉 Day 11: Normani has overtaken Ally as the tallest and largest plant. Dinah has overtaken Lauren in a similar fashion. All girls kooking good except for some odd marks here and there (see video). Today after the photos and video and when she was back in the tent. I took about 4 or 5 leaves off each girl. You'll see tomorrow. If you're here from Twitter, where I am also @UnorthadoxDude, please say hello in the comments! I've just joined and want to gauge if it is worth the time. Day 13: Heights: Ally 23cm Normani 28cm Lauren 24cm Dinah 19cm Camila 17cm The girls have begun stretching it seems. Day 14: Fertigated 5l and performed LST and defoliation. Normani height was 32cm. End of week summary: Huge week of growth and these ladies are only just getting started. The pheno difference of Dinah is stark but super interesting.

So.. the flush begins for DD#1 and #2 checking trich’s and these to ladies are showing about 70% clear to 30% cloudy may finish in week nine. DD#3 still in bloom throwing tons of white hairs and purple flowers 100% clear trichs so she’s gonna get another feeding. DD# 4 is the showcase cause not only did she start out slow but she’s the only 1 of the 4 that’s started purple flowers and and is also purple leafed. I’ll continue to post some picture tonight wanted to get this up as I am flushing and pulling them out of the tent to do so. Also continue to add photo every 2 days. Updated 4/30 day 58 posted video and some new photos Day 60 really started to look at trich’s since plants are definitely getting close. DD#1 looks to be my heaviest producer trich’s are 60/40 no amber yet DD#2 80/20 no amber DD#3 90/10 no amber but it must be a mutation or something in the genetics cause it’s no longer thickening up its foxtailing all over so she still got time and we’ll see DD#4 is looking good and has a few weeks before I’ll start checking trich’s on her, pistols popping white all over the place.
