Plants looking good, I removed two fan leaves to allow more light to reach the lower branches. Im trying to encourage horizontal growth not vertical so I try to do everything I can to coax the plant outwards and not upwards. I regularly bend the stalks downwards gently with my hands. Watered with fert again this week. Nothing else to report. Next grow im definitely gonna try main lining as always any tips or comments always appreciated -

I pre-cut a plant. The plant, whose leaves turned yellow, turned yellow due to heat and flushing. Last 3-4 days left. Other 2 pots need at least 10 days

Amazing results! They’re 2 weeks (14days) in bloom today! Flowers are developing everywhere with this one! I had to make an edit on one of the stems as I had no more room on the pulley and had to snap a stem and bend it sideways! (Super crop) can’t wait to see what happens with it as the last time way Ago in the past I accidentally snapped it after bending it as it heals firm and I didn’t realise but this time no mistakes even got her tied as I had to bend her twice as the first time she sprang back to position! Hope you like 👍

Week 2 I finally made it to get a QB panel led. So i hope these lights help me to grow more efficiently Seedling number 1 is growing faster than number 2 but both seem to be healthy. I water two times a week with 2Lts each plus Hesi's root complex and Calmag

2 ever differing plants here. #1 I think is very much ready to cut and will be doing so over the next day or two. Foxtail mad plant. #2 is gonna be another week I reckon. Still very leafy and starting to foxtail more so won't leave too much longer. Could be a very heavy one depending on how much needs to be trimmed.

12/8 Soil still damp from last water, nutrients today or tomorrow, bottom leaves are yellowing, trichomes are forming on colas. 12/10 Fed nutrients today she got enough water for runoff, top inch soil was dry and she just looked hungry as hell, looking to defoilate the yellow leaves pictured, 26 inches today, top cola is 5 inches from light other colas are at least 10 inches from light, now i know why people LST!!! Next grow for sure. seeing some yellow tips on the top fan leaves.. nothing major, but understandably so. 12/13 watered today not too much but top soil was dry, more defoliation of yellow fan leaves, temps and humidity are back up, she smells like skunk so far, hard to describe, definitely getting chunky and filling up the main cola👍 12/14 high humidity 90%, leaves are looking glossy, more defoliation of bottom fan leaves

~ 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: 9/6- Well, Week Five of flower is here and the Wedding Cheesecake FF by FastBuds is rockin-n-rollin! Well fam, the 'Beast From The East' is going strong, and so far has not encountered any issues with any bud rot but is showing signs of the beginnings of Septoria. Luckily, this far into flower it shouldn't be too much of a concern at this point. This late in our growing season I always worry about Boytris, especially with cultivars that have really dense and tightly grouped flowers as our weather is now turning cooler and wetter. 9/8- I'm continuing to water the Wedding Cheesecake FF in the mornings on days that we do not get any substantial rain with well water via the garden hose. Today I went through the plant and removed a bunch of old dead leaves, along with any shade leaves that were totally yellow. I did not water today as we had a good amount of rain yesterday and the soil is still really moist. 9/10- My daily routine of watering, removing dead foliage and checking over the flowers continues. The aroma coming off of the Wedding Cheesecake FF is really loud now and you can definitely pick up some subtle hints of her Cheese lineage in it! 9/12- With Five weeks of flowers now behind her, the FastBuds Wedding Cheesecake Fast Flower only has 2-3 more weeks to go (weather permitting) and she's on track to be an enormous yielding plant! I can't wait!!! Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

Smooth sailing it was this week that's for sure. No further issues with the automated watering, temperature was mild and pretty much maintained a good grow temp for the entire week. Unfortunately I know the mild temps won't last, one day of 26c forecast for this week so once again the internal temp of the tent will rise into the 30s. Oh well, can't do anything about it and as long as the plant stays as happy as it currently is then no problems from my side. Gave the plant a minor defoliation at the start of the week, with the intention of getting as much light to the lower bud sites as possible, with next to no impact on the plant. Buds are certainly plentiful, now I'm just waiting for the time to be right to adjust the nutrients to really give them the best opportunity of reaching their full potential. At the moment plenty of potential this plant is offering. The trichome production is still on the low side but also expect this to change once they start fattening up. Not much else to report. This plant is pretty much taking care of itself I'm happy to say.

We're beyond excited to try out this new MarsHydro LED for our latest grow, the SP-3000 is INCREDIBLY bright!! ..I have never seen a light more appropriate for a 4x2 tent in my life, we (happily) replaced 3 "600 watt" blurple LEDs with this single rig ( something we've wanted for a very long time). There should be no issue achieving perfect coverage, corner to corner with this light. Its been years since we've flowered under LED ( and never one of this quality), we're a little bias towards HID/CMH, especially my hubby but I think this might just be the LED that changes our mind! We'll be growing Gelat OG Auto by Seedsman (we've heard amazing things) for our first grow under the SP-3000, all plants in 5gl fabric pots, Promix-B (25% perlite) on a 20/4hr cycle. We're starting with 4 plants but if they become unmanageable, we'll move one or 2 of the plants to another tent. We use a glass of water and a paper towel as our germination method. We soak seeds roughly 24hrs and then in a wet paper towel for another 12-24hrs, we average roughly a 90% success rate doing it this way... Thank you for reading if you made it this far and happy harvests everyone! ❤️💡🌱😽💨 ⚡Mars Hydro/SP-3000⚡ Specifications ⚙️: Diodes: Samsung LM301B / Osram 660nm (960 total) Driver: Meanwell 300watt 🔌 (300W±5% @AC120V-277V) PPF: 824umol/S ☢️ PPE: 2.8 µmol/j 〰️〰️ Lifespan: >50k hrs ⌛ Veg Coverage: 3 x 5 ft 🌱 Flowering Coverage: 2 x 4 ft 🌼 Weight: 10.1 lbs (4.6kg) -No-fan design: the SP-3000 uses an aluminum heatsink, and the driver can be removed then placed outside the tent🌡️⬇️ -IP65 waterproof ratings, tolerant to high humidity grow environments 💦 .. -Up to 30 of these lights can be daisy-chained together and controlled from a single light! 💡~💡~💡~💡~💡 ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_ 10/10/21 🤘😺 100% germination!!

Beginning of week.. So I had to make a last minute decision to go ahead and put her into my 2x2x5 with the WAKYME J2000 at 50% power. Hovering about 12 - 14 inches above the canopy and recieving roughly about 700 μMols in the center down to 500 μMols around the edges.. So when I get the center to about 900 - 950 μMols.. The edges should still be getting a good 700+ μMols! Fucking awesome!.. Nothing like running an overkill light at lower power in order to keep temps down and also to help the lifetime of the components! So for the next 2 - 3 weeks I will be going 50/50 with FloraGro and FloraBloom while she begins to flower.. I dont like counting the transition weeks as flower, some phenos and genos can transition in 1 week.. Some in about 3 weeks.. Had one take almost 4 weeks!! But I don't care to count the transition weeks as flower.. So she is receieving only 12 hours of light as of today.. Will begin counting flower when I see she is for sure stretching and for sure packin on the pistils at the crowns. She is going to need some defoliation and ALOT of branches to be removed.. May still try to ScrOG this 2×2.. Lol.. That just sounds funny.. I forgot how tiny this 2x2 is. Kinda taller than normal 2x2s so that should help a little if I need to raise the light any... She barely fits in here lol.. Thats fine.. I just need to make sure she stays under a 2 foot stretch and everything else will be perfect for this girl.. Runoff is coming out perfect.. RH is... Meh lol.. Its good.. It hovers up and down alot with the AC cutting off and on.. Cant wait for cooler temps!!! I love the winter.. So much easier to keep temps down.. I will be defoliating within the next couple days.. So by next update she will look a little different.. But damn she is so beautiful! Lol Mid week.. So she has been lollipopped and branches adjusted a bit.. Not much else to report on.. Just waiting for the pistils to start poppin out of everywhere!.. Just 1 day after defoliation and she has noticeably filled out her canopy a bit! Can't wait can't wait CAN'T WAIT to see what this girl can do! End of week.. Seems like she is at the very beginning of stretching.. 2 days ago I removed some inner facing leaves and they have already been replaced by the next same facing node! Cant really notice it because her tops arent getting ridiculously close to the light.. But that is definitely a sign of her stretching soon. I'll even bet it's noticeable before the middle of next week. Well.. On to the next week!!!...

Smell of terps is filing the air! Plant has gone in hard now with flowering! Plant is starting bulk up and produce some nice sized colas. Sitting under 11 hours of light, switches off at 5 in the morning and in time for some colder temps to help push trich production, good idea for winter times in the southern hemisphere as keeping lights on during the night and off during the day certainly helps combat stunted growth due to cold weather.

Hey now, I hope everyone is having a great weekend. The ladies had another great week, I got the Durban Nights, Red Hot Cookies, and Sundae Driverr's second toppings completed on day 26, and I got the second toppings done on the Green Crack and Bubble Runtz on day 27. Right now I have 4 mains on each plant, and I will top each one this week, probably in the next 3-4 days which will leave with me 8 mains. So the mainlines will be completed during week 5, and I plan to flip to flower around week 7. I am still seeing a couple holes on the leaves of the Sundae Driver, but I have treated her twice with neem oil and I don't see any new holes since the last application and I can't see any bugs even with magnification. I am still not sure if it was a bug issue or just a genetic thing. Either way I am not too concerned at this point because they all seem to be very healthy. I am still feeding GH nutrients, silica, cal mag, and maxi grow. I will transition to flower nutrients approximately one week after flipping to flower. I have found that it is important to continue feeding plenty of Nitrogen through the stretch. The only way I would transition sooner is if I was running out of vertical space. Still very pleased with the Spectrum X from Medic Grow. I am running her at 69% and the plants seem very happy and healthy. The heat and humidity are finally letting up in my region so it is nice to be able to open some windows and drop the temp outside the grow tent. I hope everyone has a great weekend, Thanks for stopping by, Stay Safe and Blaze On!!! 💪 Website: https://medicgrow.com/ https://growdiaries.com/grower/medicgrowled
