Lemon Cake & Lemon Drizzle Week 5 This week 5/5-5/11 Germination April 6. Vegetation Week 1 water only Week 2 water only Week 3 added recharge and TPS1 increased ppm to 570. Week 4 continues with recharge and TPS1. I added Fox Cal mag increasing ppm to 685 - 805. Week 5 TPS1 9ml/gal Recharge 5 ml/gal Fox Cal-mag 5 ml/gal This was an exciting week for my ladies. It started out with the usual feed and defoliation and training. With my upcoming vacation, I am going to be hardening off these ladies to relocate to their outside location. I checked the expected weather forecast for the week. Looks good to start hardening off. Partly cloudy with temps in the low to mid 80s just like in their tent. So that’s good. Night temperatures were in the 50-60s. This is much cooler than what they are used to as our house is at 73. Our summers are hot and humid with frequent thunderstorms. They need to get used to what mother nature will provide. I had planned to bring the plants back in the sunroom but since conditions were similar, I let them stay outside every night. And every night but 2 it rained. I did not water or feed nutrients this week. I am attempting the scrog technique on all plants. I am using a peony cage as the support structure. The cages are about 2 feet high. This may not be enough side or top support as she grows and may have to resort to tomato cages. Took pics May 6,9, & 11 Lemon girls both had mutations at germination. Lemon Drizzle split ot topped herself. This creates two main plant stalks. The primary and a smaller secondary stalk. Lemon drizzle has stretched above the scrog top opening up her structure. Today she has an erratic top canopy in multiple levels with multiple bud sites. Interesting her nodes have for this week started to develop off set from each other. Does that mean she is going into flower sooner than expected? Thanks for the visits, likes and comment, I appreciate all the plant love💚.

Let's look at this great strain and learn about its genetics, growing information, and how to obtain it. Cultivar Profile Terpenes Caryophyllene, Myrcene, Terpinolene Strain Type Sativa Difficulty Moderate Height 30 in – 78 in Yield (oz/ft2) 1 – 3 Flowering Time 9 – 10 weeks Harvest Month October Pack Size 3, 6, 12, 24 Seed Type Feminized Brand Premium Cultivars The History of Lemon Cake Strain Seeds Lemon Cake by the European-based firm Heavyweight Seeds is a strong Sativa-dominant hybrid of Lemon Skunk and Cheese. Lemon Cake seeds are easy to cultivate, especially outdoors, with a 9-10 week flowering cycle, squat shape, and large output. How to Germinate Lemon Cake Strain Seeds There are several ways to sprout your Lemon Cake strain seeds, but they are more complex, inexpensive, and efficient than the paper towel technique. Premium Cultivars suggests this method since it is simple to implement, involves commonly available tools, and ensures germination. Here’s a 9-step process for geminating Lemon Cake seeds: 1. Collect your essential tools: Lemon Cake seeds, dinner plates, distilled or bottled water, tweezers, and a working table. 2. Wet your paper towel sheets and gently squeeze the excess water. 3. Set one of the paper towels on the dinner plate and the other aside for later usage. 4. Pick your Lemon Cake strain seeds with tweezers and spread them on the towel sheet, allowing an inch between them. 5. Cover your cannabis seeds using the second paper towel. Check if the towel is moist, and if not, add water. 6. Lift the towel sheets and ensure no standing water is present. Return the paper towel and your Lemon Cake seeds carefully. 7. Place the setup in warm, dark areas, particularly a cupboard or drawer (20-120 hours). 8. Check to determine whether your Lemon Cake cannabis seeds are sprouting regularly, and if the paper towel remains moist, add water if it does not. 9. Once taproots have emerged from your Lemon Cake seeds, transplant them to your ideal growing medium. Why are Feminized Seeds Better than Regs? Feminized cannabis seeds yield only female plants (or around 99.9% female). Conversely, regular seeds generate a mix of male and female plants. Each seed strain has advantages and cons, with the grower’s specific needs ultimately determining the best. Gardeners mostly use regular cannabis seeds to create their strains, but feminized cannabis seeds are great for farmers looking for a cannabinoid-rich, bud-producing crop. Male cannabis plants generate just pollen sacs and no resinous blooms. This resin contains cannabinoids and terpenes, which are responsible for cannabis’ desirable properties. If male plants pollinate female plants, their blooms will cease releasing resin and begin producing seeds. In short, male cannabis plants do not aid in pursuing massive, powerful harvests. Nonetheless, male plants are critical to the survival of the species as well as the breeding and improvement of cannabis strains. So don’t dismiss them right away! Growing Lemon Cake Strain Seeds The Lemon Cake cannabis strain has grown in popularity due to its ease of cultivation and high yields. It’s a medium-sized plant with long branches that can use some assistance toward the end. It is rather ordinary in terms of temperature and disease resistance since it is not overly prone to unfavorable circumstances or pests. However, if you grow with hydroponics, you won’t have to bother with any of that. Should I Grow Lemon Cake Strain Seeds Indoors or Outdoors? Lemon Cake thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments. The height of this cannabis strain is one factor to consider: it can reach heights of 200cm, requiring either a large grow space or a yard to attain its full potential. Growing Lemon Cake Strain Indoors If you want to cultivate your Lemon Cake seeds (you can buy these finest seeds from Premium Cultivars) inside, you should invest in exhaust fans or carbon air filters due to the room’s strong odor. Also, if conditions are ideal, growers should expect a large yield after 9-10 weeks of flowering. Growing Lemon Cake Strain Seeds Outdoors Outdoor growers can harvest their Lemon Cake buds around the middle of October. How Much Do Lemon Cake Strain Seeds Yield? Lemon Cake can produce roughly 25 ounces per plant outdoors and 21-25 ounces per square meter when grown inside. Although you might be tempted to cut it down right away, waiting as long as possible before harvesting it and curing it correctly to enhance the quality is recommended. How to Get Better Yields from Your Lemon Cake Strain Seeds Harvest rewards are frequently a mirror of cultivation care, so be kind to your Lemon Cake plants, and they will be gentle with you. However, growers should regularly top and prune their Lemon Cake plants to improve airflow and light exposure, thus raising yields. The Best Grow Medium for Lemon Cake Strain Seeds Cultivators can grow Lemon Cake seeds in hydroponic or soil systems. However, experts propose using a precise hydroponic arrangement to achieve optimal production and control its occasionally unpredictable growth rates. The Best Climate for Lemon Cake Strain Seeds Lemon Cake strain enjoys warm, semi-humid areas and is inherently resilient, having excellent mold and disease resistance. Growing outside is only acceptable in warmer climates, as this cannabis strain needs sunlight. Problems to Look Out For When Growing Lemon Cake Strain Seeds When cultivating Lemon Cake cannabis seeds, the primary issue to watch out for is dehydration and overwatering when the crops are little and susceptible. If the leaves of your Lemon Cake plant turn yellow, this indicates that the plant isn’t receiving enough oxygen to the roots. How Difficult is it to Grow Lemon Cake Strain? One of Lemon Cake’s noteworthy characteristics is its simplicity of cultivation. Are Lemon Cake Strain Seeds Suitable for Beginners? Yes, these cannabis stain seeds are great for novice growers, and they will obtain outstanding results. The Best Grow Techniques for Lemon Cake Strain Topping Topping encourages the plant to grow horizontally rather than vertically, but when it does so is determined by soil condition, plant health, light, plant size and age, and growth goals. Topping cannabis reshapes the crop in a way that improves light dispersion significantly. Cutting one tall branch to make multiple new ones at the same height guarantees that lower (buds on lower branches) also receive more light. Another essential reason to top your cannabis crop is for better height management. Logically, the two new branches develop slower than the one branch. Topping a cannabis plant separates its development into several branches. Making the plant grow less in height while putting more energy into expanding broader. This is incredibly convenient for growers, especially for limited indoor plants. Trimming Trimming can be an excellent technique for cannabis producers who have been cultivating a plant for a long time to connect with it while boosting the quality and form of the buds. There are two methods for trimming cannabis plants: wet and dry. Wet trimming, as the name implies, happens when the cannabis plant is still wet. This means you harvest your plants and immediately begin the trimming procedure. Conversely, dry trimming will necessitate drying your crops out for a few days before you start trimming the bud. If you’re cultivating cannabis at home, you’ll almost certainly have to perform all this by hand. For devoted producers, machine trimmers are available, making the operation considerably less labor-intensive. However, due to their high cost, commercial farmers mainly utilize them. Trimming can be time-consuming for many growers, but it’s also thrilling since the growth process is almost complete, and your cannabis is almost ready to have. After you’ve completed trimming, there’s one more step left until you have a great bud: curing. Pruning Pruning is the practice of eliminating extraneous shoots, branches, and leaves from a plant to push it to redirect its limited energy into its present and established development. When left to its own devices, a cannabis plant will frequently grow too large to sustain itself properly with the quantity of energy it generates. If left untreated, this can lead to several minor bud sites as the plant strains to survive while creating bud during flowering. By eliminating unneeded and weak growth, you push the cannabis plant to focus on what remains, resulting in a stronger plant capable of producing a few huge buds rather than many little ones. This frequently leads to higher total yields.

Alright grow cycle, mistakes, improvements, etc... She did stay in veg for too long, her growth was slow and not the best and so she took quite long, next time i'll be there from the beginning so I can take care of her throughout. But her growth is really fun. It is a tall growing sativa with fairly tight noding when trained accordingly, producing long filled colas. The buds grow fairly dense and fluffly but do air out a little when dried. Trichome production was pretty impressive as well as terpene production. She had thrips since her early days but did not seem to mind them at all. I did spray them initially but once flower started I stopped. I believe predatory mites might have been feeding on the pupae in the soil, if that is what this specific species of thrips did, the reason I say that is I could never see adults only larvae. Whatever the case maybe they were there but the population never really increased. Something I did not mention during the grow is that those plants were played music during the days, music that is apparently developed for plants. The 10L pot was WAY too small for a true sustainable living organic and to provide enough space for the plant, that was a mistake, I'd say a 20L would be the bare minimum and still. The bigger the better. The hempy transfer did not hurt the plant and I believe even helped to some extent, BUT, I am still running test on the subject and so can't confirm anything, here are my observations Roots did not colonize the perlite, a little on top and the sides but that was it, I was expecting to see a big root mass in there. I believe hempy are great for salt fert as it hold a soup of nutes where the plant can feed from since the coco only holds very little Whereas in nature most nutrient are in the top soil where the highest amount of decomposition happens, this is where the highest microbial activity happens and so where the plant will find food. Living organic is trying to reproduce nature and so there is no need for the plant's roots to gather at the bottom of the pot. Although it could have potentially provided the plant access to a larger amount of water and possibly more oxygenation of the pot. Those are all theories, please speak up if you have other proofs. In conclusion , unless i get proven otherwise by someone or my latest running experiment , I will not be using hempies again as I believe it brings more complication and issues than a simple fabric pot. The lights, The 600w at the start was good, then I decided to add a 400w...😂 That was completely overkill and not necessary. Waste of electricity. And they started suffering from too much light it seems at some point, I raised the light by a good 30 cm and they were fine. 600 is more than enough. I am happy about how the soil performed but it has room for improvements. As for the watering technique I have been watering large ammount every few days, next time I will be giving constant small amount of water each day and a soak every week or so, I believe the soil might perform better under those conditions. She was also an easy plant to harvest whit her long colas which had very little foliage, I do trim in excess as I like my buds extra clean but the buds are not excessively bushy. The trims were use to make some bubble hash, around 100g of wet trims yielded around 1.5-2g of bubble hash. I did add a negative effect but only because it wouldn't give me a smile otherwise, but to be honnest it barely dries your mouth. The soil is going to be recycled and reused in a next grow. I can't think of anything else at the moment but if you have any question don't hesitate.

2/10/24. The girls grew a ton this week. The temperature has gotten warmer (staying around 80 in tent) They were growing more slowly in the lower 70’s previously. They seem to like it hot. The leaves have lightened in color so I’ll be feeding them again and see where we wind up. For the most part Ive just allowed them to grow pretty naturally just to see what they do. They are looking a bit in a need of some defoliation and I think I’ll try trellising them tomorrow to spread them out a bit. In all everything seems to be going well so far.

11/26/24 11/27/24 this plant is blowing all expectations. this was the least promising looking pheno. these buds are so fucking dense. the trichomes are visibily standing ontop of the buds. the plant is 75% bud with 15% stem and 10% leaf. she is visibly fattening daily. i cant get over how hard these buds are though. the nodes are all growing into eachother and turning into long fat colas. absolutely beautiful genetics and im excited to see what the other phenos

OK So had some non plant related as well as plant related issues this week. Been hectic with personal life, and still finding my groove with the girls .. I decided against any sort of training .... get it you can maximaxe and all but m all about letting them do their thing with some love and help, i feel like the hst and defoliation is just not for me at present time. If i get into commercial i definately see the advantages... Im growing for just myself , have zero friends and girlfriend doesnt really part take except the sometimes will hit a vape pen and shes done .. so all the fruits are for me and just do not see the need to mutalate my plants to get extra,, ill just grow more :D Recap : 5 - Barneys Glue Gelato Autoflowers 2 - "Freebie" Caramel Cream Aut o <I believe Maine Clone Company > though did not have label. All seeds came from AMAZING NORTH ATLANTIC SEED COMPANY .... ZERO issues ordering , shipping and popped 7 for 7 seeds even with some pretty disasterious goofs , see week 1 1. Struggled with Lighting - Definatly had the California Lightworks Solar Extreme TOO CLOSE .. now keeping a good 24 inches and will adjust soon with flowering 2. Struggled with PH - My well water is great .. low PPM and 7.0 ph . BUT i use ph down it seems each day with the top off water to bring the girls down from 6.5 - 6.8 to a nice 5.9-6.0 Eariier not too bad as the girls were not drinking so much ... which leads me to next 3. THEY ARE DRINKING BOY ... Holy cow this week they became drinkers liike i did not expect. I run my lights 2 pm to 8 am and turn off until 2 pm each day .... I top off in the morning before i put them to sleep , the bigger girls ... 4 of the glue gelatos autos are drinking almost half gallon each per day atm . While my lil girls <caramel cream autos > are much shorter and i have one gelato glue auto on the smaller side . They do not drink nearly as much maybe a quart . 4. I goofed on the BLOOM, I did not expect bloom so early i was planning on this week to start them .... but nope showed signs of sulfur deficiency , caught it early and changed the feeding to bloom cycle and WOW they took the hell off ... Have TREMENDOUS growth in past week sinced changed cycle ... Again im following FAST BUDS auto feeding chart for expert for general hydro to the T and adding HYDROGUARD 5. I have one caramel cream auto with mag deficiency signs on some bpottom fan leaves but i believe i got that fixed when i did the water change, not sure why just her , unless i goofed on the bucket mix. Which brings me to next statement ... IM INVESTING IN A GDAM 13 GALLON x 8 bucket plus RES kit for next grow ... Doing and maintaining 7 buckets is a royal pain in the ass . I honestly only expected 4 plants out of the 7 . AND expected fully i would kill something along the way I am visually impaired and BRain Tumor Dude .. so i gots some issues sometimes . .. but if you check out the videos i post in a bit here you can see, WTF i am doing ok i feel like . Great looking plants from my amateur opinion , always room for improvement as i am super critial of everything i do OCD/ADHD glorious combo BUT YES a better setup is needed for ease of use .. I bought my complete setup at PA HYDROPONICS , meaning my BUCKETS with fittings and hydroton . 200 bucks could not find better price anywhere he does a great fallponics custom build with 3 inch pvc that i have seen in action and tis a thing of beauty for us home growers. Plus i can add a small chiller to the mix to keep that temp a tad bit lower. IT about an 800 dollar upgrade BUT for the rest of my setup it belongs : vivosun 4x9 tent Ac Infinity T8 x 2 <one for vent one for blower , also have a great merv 13 filter box from ac infinity so as not to such in yuck from basement. 2 california solar extreme 550 So i figure adding an 8 bucket fallponics to fill the tent would look so much better tahn my 5 gallons and the constant checking each one and filling etc .... Having the res would be nice I also see the cons of it as if you goof you goof on all not just one .... But i m fairly certain i will upgrade. ***************** So right now it looks like nice buds are starting to form on all 7, the Glue Gleatos are much taller and full than the caramel creams ... I am tracking water being added and at this rate will need another change over in a day or two if drinking 1/2 gal a day and about 3 gallons <12 liters> labout inch from bottom of net pot. Rule of thumb being water change to replace nutes when you replace a volume equal to the total volume ... which is about every 6 days , last water change being 8/7 I will post some more when i inspect the ladies when i turn on the lights at 2 pm First time grower in setu

7 archive seeds are legit super dense tricomb production like nothing I've seen b4. I would NEVER BUY SEEDS FROM ARCHIVESEEDBANK.COM.... they have great genetics but there customer service is garbage. This summer I spent 50 on these 3 seeds and 125 on a 12 pack of reg seeds of a diff strain the reg seeds didn't grow at all and archive never responded they sold me old ass seeds and stole my 125$ I'm happy I already got 32 seeds from the crappy plant of the 3 that I already cut down. I'm letting the last 2 finish up completely

5/25 this plant is starting to gain some vigor finally. Has some real nice healthy color and I'm happy with where she is and/or where she will go once flowering commences. I was worried that she wasn't going to grow into much of anything. This seedling has been fighting since day 5/26 top dressed. She's taking off Also her very main top, keeps branching off weird, it's like 3 at a node almost. Its been having weird mutations like parts of leaves missing and odd shaping of

I got really busy towards the end and probably made a few mistakes. Probably cut it down a bit early too but she wasnt able to hold herself up anymore and broke some stems. All in all compared to the outcome of my last grow this one plant doubled my outcome so I dont believe I maybe improving on my growing skills. I have her curing in jars right now. Out of the sample I have tried I really enjoy it. Smells like candy, tastes like candy with a little extra something something at the end. Smooth, burns clean I couldn't be happier.

Plucked a few leaves that were looking at me funny ;) Not much to do! Smells of sweet berries, after a fresh rainfall.. Smells amazing! Watered with 2.5 gallons of the above listed nutrients, every 5-6 days. (when the soil becomes 95% dry) 10% of the solution watered runs out the bottom of the pot, and is removed with a wet-vacuum.

Lots of hairs this week had a bit of an airline issue on the airstones I fixed it and the leaves stopped curling downward so they are looking alot better did my usual weekly feeding 6 oz of each remo nutes and ph water 5.8 added as well cannazyne for the breakdown of old dead roots helps keep things clean and productive lots of hairs and new top development through each plant right plant started getting some yellow leaves I defoliated then and will continue to monitor for any issues but also going to re defoliate and take out those bottom useless larfe nugs
