~ 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: 6/9- Well, here we go into Week Eleven from seed for the FastBuds Wedding Cheesecake Fast Flower and she is looking MARVELOUS! 😍 Our weather is beautiful now with daytime high temp's in the 80's F without a lot of rain so I am watering her daily at sundown with approximately 5-7g of well water. 6/11- The FastBuds Wedding Cheesecake FF continues to explode with growth and I have been training her branches throughout the entire trellis net which she's now completely filled. I was going to install a second trellis net, but decided to just use the single net and do some HST on her to keep her canopy opened up. 6/13- I gave the Wedding Cheesecake FF a good watering today at sundown via the garden hose with straight well water. I am planning on top dressing her in roughly 7-10 days from now with a blend of 4-4-4 and 2-8-4 along with some worm castings in anticipation of the start of flowering in the near future. 6/16- I watered today and also did a little canopy maintence, removing some leaves that were old and yellowing, along with some small shoots that would have only produced small larfy buds. There's another week chalked up and it won't be long until this lady begins pre-flowering which will mark the start of the real excitement! Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

Another week without any big issues! I am still figuring out this light though, I started lowering it now and it is at 100%. I am surprised how little heat it is putting off. I haven't had to remote mount the driver.

Ciao ragazzi e bentornati qui con me le gemelle al Limone🍋😉 Ci siamo! Fra un paio di giorni taglierò loro. I buds sono estremamente compatti, profumati e di un colore favoloso, come potete vedere nei ravvicinati delle apicali.😍 Ho eseguito un lavaggio delle radici massivo nel giorno 92 con ben 20 L di acqua ciascuna per pulire bene e poi dopo aver aspettato che asciugasse per bene, ho innaffiato loro nel giorno 96 con 1,5 L di acqua.💪 Nel giorno 98 ho eseguito anche una voluminosa defogliazione per dare concentrare le energie suo buds negli ultimi giorni.👍 Eh niente ragazzi! Anche per questa settimana è tutto. 👊 Grazie a tutti per aver guardato e restate sintonizzati per nuovi aggiornamenti.🙏 Buona settimana e felice crescita 🌱 🌱 🌱

Trichomes look small, not tall and big. I gotta stop complaining about everything. I have at least enough to get through the holidays and its good stuff. I suspect my real problem lies in dry and cure. Sometimes you pop a couple of autoflowers and they just grow like mad dogs and sometimes its a major challenge esp if you screw something up like over water. I maintain that i have never had a dry/ cure that ended up smelling like anything at all. I have been blaming the seed vendor but it just cant be as plenty of people have good harvests with same strain im doing. Problem is i have a neighbor whos having same issues. I got the idea of 70 degrees and 50-58% rh. Every dry and cure is different but i got my not good program from youtube videos. You never get enough information to learn anything most times and you still have to watch your grow like a hawk and be patient. I have a new program for dry. After the cut, the rh needs to be at least 60 from that time all the way into the jar and onward or you 100% lose terpines. Other thing is temprature. So i have a small room with a window ac unit and next dry will take 7-12 days at a constant temp of 65 , so ac will be on nonstop for a few days and rh has to stay at 60 so humidifier needs to be maintained. THE OTHER THING IS AIR CIRCULATION. YOU DONT WANT A FAN BLOWING ON IT BUT STAGNANT AIR IS NO GOOD. So, if this works, and i start getting that dank bag apeal with terps and sticky resin everywhere and crystals......What im thinking is hang it all in the tent which is in the room with ac unit and maybe 2 6 inch fans and exhaust on at 190 cfm. LET SIT IN DARK 48 HOURS BEFORE CHOP. The must have ac and 65degrees came from youtube guy i think canucks grow. Everything this guy touches turns to gold and his house is xtra clean. Its too clean. Has to have a cleaning lady. but hes changed his mind over time on dry and cure and the latest is 60 rh and 65 degrees temp to dry and 60 rh till its all gone. Maybe this will work and the harvest wont smell like hay or nothing at all. Growing weed is a big comitment and a shitload of work and you need to do alot of research and make all the mistakes i think. I dont know why people title "first grow ever" and it comes out looking like top shelf shit. I dont buy it. Its not that simple. Though with the right genetics and proper watering you could have an amazing harvest first time out. I just have a hard time accepting the fact that i have no idea what im doing and do not have the knowledge regarding nutrients and when and how much etc...but i have a good idea. This COVID SHIT IS SOME FREAKING SHIT but if you have an indoor garden to maintain, you always have something to look forward to. I gotta go see the Wizard. actually the Wizard owns the head shop and the grow supply guy who looks like he has been ripping bongs since a toddler, hes zombie boy. Zombie boy recommended that i add this fungal growth shit called orca and the main reason was i need it according to his assesment of what i said i was using and his final closing statement was, its only 10 bucks so.....and then hes like, you should buy some fish shit, you want some fish shit? What i want to do is make the clock go faster and it aint happening so plan next grow while maintain current. I got some skunk comming from seedsman if it ever gets hjere. Im going to treat the skunk better than i would a good friend!!!!!

Wish I could have vegged the clones another couple of weeks but the Zkitzo was just growing to fast. In hindsight shouldn’t have put a plant from seed in with the clones. Seeds always grow like mad in NFT and clones are more manageable as they don’t have a tap root. Still got some absolutely beautiful looking and smelling bud from the Zkitzo so can’t really regret it. The Gelatos are rock solid right through and look absolutely beautiful. Used rainwater right the way through on this so should smoke nice to. Better pictures as it dries.

These plants are amazing!!! Sorry been too busy to post the last couple of weeks. I ended up harvesting one of the 5 plants. It was further along than the others (still pulled it too soon, but it came out amazing. Couldn't help but try it. The smell is off the chain (good)). Still have four going; they are taking their time. The second one that is furthest along is going to be the biggest plant by far. It has buds top to bottom. FAT!!!

Ok guys we are starting week two of this pineapple chunk strain from Barney's farm. So far everything is looking good and healthy. I gave her her first worm tea and have been stressing her stem with light flicks and slow bends since day 2. I've been increasing the light incrementally every day and it seem to take it all as it comes. I hooked up a diy light mover in the garden increase light impact and decrease possible dead spots in the growing space. All and all it's been a easy week with this strain and everything looks promising so far. Thanks for checking out my grow. If you like Barney's farm genetics or pineapple chunk specifically or if you are interested in organic/ living soil growing follow along and lets watch her grow together!

Hi Guys, This week has been pretty good, the plant at the bottom right just seems to struggle her way through everything, she has loads of roots, they keep growing but for what ever reason she look plain ugly and grows very slowly above the water which is evident when looking at the photo lapse I have uploaded. I bought a Torus PH Perfect capsule which is a chemical free way of stabilising the PH, since that has gone in the brain bucket, I haven’t had to make any PH amendments yet. You can see it at the end of the video. They have all been topped for the 3rd and final time around D32-33. I will train some tips down so they don’t become dominant, but other than that, they’re gonna have a free week or so of growth with no more slicing or cutting before I flip them😊 Hopefully the ugly one will have bounced back by then and I can push forward into the transition with 6 healthy bushes.

It's been 55 days of flower now and The gals are still loving the fc4800 and their new 8x8 mars hydro grow tent as much as I do👍 leaves are sticking straight up towards the light. Love how easy the zippers are to open and close. Nice and strong and guaranteed to last. It has extra material on the backside of the zipper that helps for light leaksand enough ports and vents for anything you need in it👍. the tsw2000 is still going strong and is also a very good light. Its been going almost nonstop for 6 months and still working the same as when I got it👍. not much heat off both lights but the fc4800 is alot cooler and the heat-sinks work extremely well. I have it daisy chained to the tsw2000 and 1 dimmer controls the other and i don't need to be reaching in too far to dim the other light, it's awesome and I can't wait to buy more lights to daisy 4 together👍. I would recommend this light to everyone that grows with leds and have trouble with temperatures getting too high. Even if you grow with HPS lights I think any mars hydro light is a MUST TRY. I like how heavy both lights are because I know it means they are built soild and strong 💪. Very good sign with the frost they are starting to get thanks to bith mars hydro lights. I can notice more frost under the fc4800 and I'm thinking it's from the UV DIODES they put on the fc4800 👍. 2 days ago they all smelt like my nuken, sweet marshmallows. But now I can smell the monkey dough and gorilla glue and skunk monkey coming through👍. I touched a bud on the gorilla and monkey fingers smelt like fruit loops👍 really pleasant smell. Lingered on my fingers for atleast 30 min. I'm glad mars hydro is under priced compared to some brands and for how popular they are. usually companies would charge more. Thanks mars you guys are awesome 🤘🥁🎸. I'm getting a new exhaust fan soon. An 8 inch that will work alot better than my 4 inch lol. Wayyy to small for a 8x8 Grow Tent. Dehumidifier is going almost non stop to try and get the humidity down. I love how both lights on 100% power only raise my temperature 2 or 3 degrees 👍. You can rest your hand on the lights and not much heat comes off them. Obviously there is some heat but for the brightness of the lights and only raising the temp that much is awesome 👌.  And if I wanted to I could remove the driver from the fc4800 and run it on the outside of my tent because the cord is so long but 2 or 3 degrees is barely nothing👍. The girls are starting to bulk up abit now and only 3 weeks of flowering, these lights are awesome 👌.  My last run of monkey dough and gorilla glue didn't start showing alot of crystals until week 4. These were only 2.5 weeks and I started noticing some frost. Next week I will be able to tell more about what these custom bred seeds will be like. I love how the smell is changing now. Didn't want all them to smell like nuken marshmallows lol. It's awesome that I can get right inside the tent to do any work i need👍. Even if I wanted an 4x8 tent. I'd rather this 8x8 because it's so easy to work with the plants and have so much room to move around and massive headroom when I'm in there chillin with the gals🤣🤘.

Bienvenido a la aventura compañero 🛸❄️✨💐 Una semana espectacular para nuestra Do-Si-Dos de @Zammi_official en combinación con la gama gloriosa de @Plagron La ayuda en este diario ha sido de la mano del grower y amigo @noNick123 . Recomendando siempre cosas positivas, gran teoría ✨ Espero que Zamnesia tome en cuenta su participación a pesar del inconveniente ocurrido con el frío, hermano 💪🏽 Subimos la temperatura del agua antes de preparar la dosis, 23 C⁰ con 450 PPM aprox, inicial por riego. Bajamos las dosis considerablemente y llegamos a un ppm de unos 800. Entiendo ahora que significaba cuando @noNick123 recomendó calentar el agua antes de la mezcla... El día jueves 11/1/24 comenzamos a regar solo con agua. Esta planta se ha vuelto una bestia creadora de resina, ahora la mantendremos en este estado y quizás necesite ser alimentada alguna vez más 🤔 tengo ganas de cortarla, pero la dejaremos a a que madure un poco 😌 Los tricomas están 70% lechosos 20% transparentes y 10% ámbar. La lámpara ahora está más alta para no dañar ninguna glándula ❄️👌 Por ahora esto es todo, estoy aprovechando todo esto para ir eligiendo la nueva tanda de semillas a cultivar 🤩 Quiero hacer una extracción con esta próxima cosecha, no guardar tanta materia vegetal en casa. Alguien conoce una manera casera sin mucha inversión?! Oil, dry, bubble hash... NO CHARAS 😁 Un abrazo fuerte para todos y muchos ánimos 💐 siempre hay tiempo para hacerlo mejor, para darle al siguiente paso pisando firme Saludos!
