The plant on the left exhibits noticeable black tips, indicating a late-stage deficiency during flowering. It’s significantly larger than the one on the right, which shows less signs of deficiency. As the left plant gains weight, it struggles to support some branches and develops foxtails. The aroma in the tent is delightful, with the left plant emitting a sweet, cake-like scent, while the right one exudes a strong gas-like odour. It’s remarkable how different the plants are despite being the same strain.

As a newbie to growing Autos I am very impressed with this strain from Growers Choice Seeds. Northern Lights. I feel it’s getting real close and I’m very excited to see the final results. ✌️🌱✌️#growwhereyouareplanted #sticky #budz

no signs of pests during the grow. only one time i had ants trying to infest one plant but easily got rid of them by using cinnamon around the stem. she grows easy and is fun to train, you don't have to be an expert. in the late flowering i got some budrot in both plants and stalled the harvest by inspecting and cutting it away daily, haven't lost a lot due to it. i would recommend this strain as she is a high trichome producer, big yielder and easy to grow plant that gives nice buds with a good smell and greath high. she is a strain that makes you talkative, giggly and euphoric and is surely gonna give you a good sleep. be sure to go easy on her as she is a strong breed. an amazing strain to grow. she creates colourfull purple buds filled with trichomes that is really good for the chilling occasions, be sure not to have to go somewhere as she will last long and prepare for a joyfull evening with lots of laughing and good talks. i'll post more pictures after the drying process!

🌿 Skywalker OG — Week 4 Report 12/12 from seed 📌 Disclaimer / Timeline clarification Before we begin, a quick note for transparency: Last week, while compiling the reports, I unintentionally included some photos that actually belong to this week. That one’s on me. It’s fairly easy to notice which photos those are, and to avoid duplicating files, I’ll keep the correct visuals where they are while continuing to share this week’s genetics shots and videos as intended. Thank you for the understanding — clarity and honesty always come first here 🙏 ⸻ 🌱 Week 4 overview We are now in Week 4 of vegetative development under a 12/12 light schedule from seed. The Skywalker OG girls are looking outstanding: • Deep, lush green coloration • Strong, healthy leaf structure • Calm posture with no visible stress • Excellent overall vigor These plants are clearly happy and well-settled in their environment. ⸻ 🌿 Structure & training notes At this stage, the plants are reaching 7–8 nodes, with some approaching 9 nodes, and we’re beginning to see early branching. Training so far has been: • Gentle leaf tucking • Light leaf bending • No aggressive manipulation • No intentional stress The goal right now is simply guidance, not force — helping light reach lower sites while allowing the plant to stay relaxed and balanced. Branching is happening slowly and naturally, which is exactly what we expect under 12/12 from seed. At this moment, the plants are still prioritizing root system expansion over top growth, and that foundation will pay off later. ⸻ 🌱 Why growth looks the way it does (12/12 from seed) A quick reminder for anyone new joining us: Under 12/12 from seed: • Vegetative growth is more compact • Plants focus heavily on roots early on • Structural decisions are made carefully by the plant • Flowering does not start immediately This is not a race — it’s a controlled, intentional build-up. ⸻ Nutrition & overall health The current nutrition plan is clearly doing its job. Across the diaries, we’re seeing: • Balanced green tones (no burn, no fade) • Clean leaf edges • Strong stems • Consistent vigor Every plant expresses herself a bit differently — autos, photoperiods, different genetics — but the overall health across the room is excellent, and that’s always the real metric. ⸻ 🔮 What to expect next Over the coming week(s), expect: • Continued node development • Stronger lateral branching • Gradual shift toward pre-flower behavior • Increased structural definition What not to expect just yet: • No heavy stretch • No real flower formation • No need for defoliation • No drastic changes Consistency remains the key. ⸻ 🙏 Final notes Huge thank you to everyone following along, observing, asking questions, and sharing this journey with us. It’s always a pleasure documenting these runs and learning together. And of course, a big shout-out to the genetics from Zamnesia — each plant is showing her own personality, and it’s beautiful to watch. The girls are doing great… …and they definitely say hi back to you all 💚🌱 Community Note Due to YouTube community guidelines, our educational channel was taken down.

With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

D64 - really big autos! If these phatten out over the next 3 weeks I expect it could be more than 5oz from one alone! Loads of bud sights on both! Really happy so far, plants are looking healthy.. living soil one is probably lacking some nuits as havnt added the stuff they recommend. ❤️💛💚

The preflower stretch has been incomparable to any Soil grow I've seen! These sativas already caught up and don't show any signs of slowing down.

This week I switched from feeding them the General Hydroponics MaxiBloom to KoolBloom. I kept the same pattern with feeding. I feed them the nutrients then just pH'd plain H20 the following day. I pH at 5.8-5.9. I also defoliate as I go so the plant doesn't get stressed out and stop focusing on flowering. These ladies are definitely starting to stink and get sticky!

As I said, she has become a single fat dense and sticky main cola, very compacted, looks like it's just 1 huge fat nugget. Very nice aroma but not stinky at all. I'm enjoying her, she's not very big but she's literally a single big fat nugget.

~ 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: 8/13- Week Two of flower is here for the FastBuds Wedding Cheesecake FF, and I must say how thoroughly impressed I am so far with this strain! It has withstood attacks by insects (leaf hoppers and Japanese Beatles), intense heat and humidity (110℉ heat indexes with 90+% RH) and multiple splits of two of her main branches at the trunk, and yet has grown into the 'Beast from the East' reaching over EIGHT feet in height and spreading her branches out to an enormous SIX foot diameter! Our weather has cooled off after last weeks tropical system passed and it's nice to have a much needed break from the heat and humidity! 8/15- I am continuing to water daily with 5-8 gallons of well water from the garden hose. Today, I top dressed the Wedding Cheesecake FF with 3 cups of Gaia Green 2-8-4 Power Bloom which I watered in with well water from the hose. I then applied 1/2 gallon of a nutrient mix I made up in 2 1/2g of well water consisting of: 1/4 cup Neptune's Harvest Seaweed(kelp) plant food and 2 1/2 tsp. of Plantonics Amino Bliss. While I was under the canopy I also removed a bunch of scraggly small, thin branches that were anywhere from 12" to 20" long and would never had amounted to anything worthwhile. 8/17- We had a couple of passing light rain showers today which didn't provide a lot of rain so I went ahead and watered the Wedding Cheesecake Fast Flower with approximately 5g of well water just to make sure that she didn't get thirsty. 8/19- Thunderstorms yesterday and today have taken care of my watering duties and all I really had to do today is to remove some yellowed and dead leaves throughout the canopy. There's the second week of flower on the books for the FastBuds Wedding Cheesecake Fast Flower and I anticipate that she'll really start to take off in the next week or two so hold on, this could be a wild ride!🤯 Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

Cherry A causing me all sorts of issues. She's falling on top of Cherry B. And in turn, Cherry B is hitting into my other plants (Grandpa Stash). Also noticed what looks like pollen sacs on day 78.

Soooo... Nachdem die bernsteinfarbene Kristalle zum Drittel verbreitet sind dachte ich mir gestern schon machst du sie platt! Schließlich fangen sie auch schon das welken an! Will was ausprobieren! Deswegen hab ich sie bei Tag geerntet! Hat seinen Grund!# ich sag bescheid ob ich Recht hatte!! Oder es liegt an der Erde was ich denke!!! Mal sehen!!! 660 Gramm brachte sie auf die Waage!! Es kamen trocken 83 Gramm raus also wäre das 1/8 des gesamtgewichts! Hab natürlich wieder die Maschine anschmeißen müssen weil ich den gesetzlichen Mindestwert überschritten hatte und somit die Alien und die Haze gewaschen!! Klappt immer besser! Man lernt dazu!!! Hab jetzt Nuggets!!! 😅 Aber ich muss sagen, der in Maastricht hat mir damals wirklich mexican Haze verkauft!! Aber seine war geschmacklich viel besser!! Paar Blüten hab ich aufgehoben!! Die Rauch ich ganz alleine!! Dieser typische Geschmack..... Lecker!!! Hab ich trotzdem gut hin bekommen!! Aber so alt ist sie ja noch nicht und bekanntlich beim fementieren entwickelt sich der Geschmack noch besser!!! Also ich kann nicht klagen! Ich bin zufrieden!!!

Okay so I’ve been slacking a bit on the grow-diaries, only because I’ve had a lot going on and also because I don’t feel obligated to do so because this isn’t a sponsored grow. It’s been nice to have a little break but I think I’m ready to come back at it full force again. These girls are living their best lives, they are all the same age and they are all thriving. Floraflex nutrients, as well as some Silica, Regina-root, and a trichome enhancer called “Grease”!! Seems like the real deal. Watering every other day and let me tell you these girls are very thirsty. Defol as needed! My new HLG Blackbird lamp fixture is out of this world. My 3 autos that you can also find in my profile absolutely blew up. I typically fit 4 autos in my 3x3 but now it’s essentially one Purple punch from Fastbuds and I had to cram 2 more inside basically because they are going crazy. Unfortunately I had to move them from under the blackbird and put them under a HLG350R and they are still going crazy. Basically what I’m saying is HLG Lamps=Crazy growth and amazing lamps!! HLG has a lifetime customer! That’s it for now but check in next week to see the progress! Thanks for tuning in.
