8/26 - sporty looking great, praying hard! Posh is working on it. But look who finally showed up to the party! I’m calling her Baby spice. She sprouted 12 days after going in the soil. Way to be a fighter girl! This is going to be a tricky thing to manage I feel like my gals are tracking a week apart. I’ll keep this journal’s timeline on sporty spice. -1 week for posh and -2 weeks for baby spice. spice girls let’s grooooow! 8/30 - exactly two weeks from sprout for Sporty and Posh. Pretty wild how big a difference there is between the two. Baby is getting her footing. Now. Sporty already pushing 4-5 nodes and I saw a tiny root through the drain hole. Wanted to pot her up! About 8 cups pro mix, one cup perlite. About 1.5 tbs of Gaia green 4-4-4, some worm castings and sprinkled mycorrhiza around where the rootball would be. God speed girly! 9/3. Potted up Posh today. About a half gallon pro mix, plus about 1.5 tbsp of the Gaia green 4-4-4. Plus about a cup of worm castings, perlite, and mycorrhiza. Sporty is looking very happy, 5 nodes and counting. Added back my second light, let’s go girls!!! 9/5. Wrapping up week 2 here, so far I’ve been really impressed with the pro mix Gaia green and soil support so far. The girls seem happy and healthy. See you in week 3!

~ 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: 7/28- Can you believe we're going into the Seventeenth week of veg for the Wedding Cheesecake Fast Flower by FastBuds... UFB!🤯 This humongous girl had better get in gear and start flowering soon as her stretch has finally stopped and she's about as healthy as you could ask for! We had passing showers all day today, which took care of my watering duties today. 7/30- The weather continues to be hot and dry, with only an occasional passing rain shower maybe once a week, and as a result the daily watering continues after sunset. 8/1- Currently, all I really have to do right now is regularly watering her, and checking daily throughout her foliage for yellow or dead shade leaves which I remove, so life is muy bueno!😍 8/3- Another hot week has come to a beautiful end and I have a feeling that the Wedding Cheesecake FF is getting ready to bust loose! Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

Beleuchtung auf 80% gestellt. Die Pflanzen kriegen ab jetzt 13 Stunden Licht. Die Dos Si Dos entwickelt sich super und fängt an zu duften. Die Lemon Haze wächst schön luftig. Mit dem Wuchs der Euforia bin ich nicht so zufrieden. Ich habe einige Blätter und bei der Dos Si Dos kleinere Blütenansätze weg geschnitten.

Plant is doin ok I noticed she's a little bit smaller than other phenotypes, but soon she will grow like a monster as she prepares for flowering stage, so I decided to start LST. As you can imagin guys, is my first LST and you may guess what happened 😢 Yes I broke a branch (with little sprouds) , Will I have serious consequences at harvesting? ****I confess i smoked the broken branch and the leaves (haven't smoke in months!) Man, now I can see this will be some trippy sh^t****

7/5 Plants look great after the last few days of rain. Nothing broken despite the storm. I think more rain is in the forecast but at some point I'll need to spray. I'll update later today. Went back over at 4pm to check. Soil was still damp with 40% chance of rain so I held off watering. First day I've never watered. Noticed a few more leaves turning yellow and falling off on the middle and bottom interior of some plants. It looks like nitrogen deficiency. Can't notice unless you get right in there. Noticed leaf hoppers and other minor pest damage. Spraying soon. 7/6 Hose wasn't working as the water needed to be shut off. Soil still seemed damp so everything should be fine. Temps are MUCH lower (66 right now). Still have internal lower/middle leaves turning yellow. Noticed that I hadn't fed in five days. That could have something to do with it. Really looks like nitrogen deficiency. Fed two gallons to the garden this morning and will monitor. Humidity is stupid high. It read like 90 something percent but it's not raining. I plan to spray tonight. Due to other issues I haven't been on top of my game as much as I should be. Will update later. Oh and I do measure in teaspoons not tablespoons. I'm just an idiot. 7/7 Water is still off. I carried water to the plants and watered approx. a gallon a big plant. Less for smaller. Lots more yellow leaves on my blueberry's. They fall off. Looks just like nitrogen deficiency and the plants are getting huge. I also noticed I hadn't fed in 5 days. I figure most nutes in the soil must be used up. I only have a soil PH meter and the only readings I could get read 7.3 and 7.4. I checked my water PH with a test kit and to me it looks around 6.5 so I have no idea why the pH could be off. Could definitely use some help. I think I'm going to get some dry amendments like worm castings or guano. Noticed a random beetle munching away. I keep putting off spraying but it needs to be done. I'll add my question when I get a chance. UPDATE: Went back over and noticed soil was dry. Watered again approx a gallon each. I need to figure out the issue with the yellowing leaves. I added roots organic Ancient Amber to the water for a small nitrogen boost. I'll ask a question. 7/8 I lightly watered but probably shouldn't have as it's supposed to rain tonight and all day tomorrow. Better safe than sorry. I feel much better after some research and answers to my questions. I feel more confident. I just need to get my IPM up and running again and I should be good. Still threw away dead leaves but in places the sun doesn't get and plants have grown substantially. 7/9 Rained last night and supposed to rain all day today. I took a couple pictures but I'll have to wait until the rain subsides to spray. Wow it's still really pouring @4:45pm. Tropical storm Elsa or something is dropping like 3in of rain. Oh well hopefully helps lower my pH. Feels really good to look at the profiles of the growers on Facebook that have talked down and acted narcissistic towards me after I asked a question only to see their itsy bitsy scrawny little plants. Jealousy is real I guess. I'm praying to the pot gods that everything holds up through this storm. I love my garden but I can't get cocky. Outdoors in Maine anything can happen. 7/10 No damage from last night's storm. I measured the pH of the rain water and it appeared to be around 5.0-5.5 so that should help to lower my PH. Very nice day today. Plants should explode after this rain. 7/11 Very sunny day yesterday and looks like another today. 73 degrees at 9am. Last night I got halfway to my garden to spray and had to turn around due to several stomach cramps. Its always something. I VERY LIGHTLY watered before feeding 2 gallons of feed to the garden. I've been slipping. Its been another five days since feeding. I'm going to try Dr. Zymes tonight. UPDATE: Went to my garden around 6 and sprayed Dr. Zymes at 90 degrees on all plants. I used the two two oz free samples that are supposed to make a gallon. I saved half a bottle and used the rest so it wasn't max strength. I fed today too and I'm not supposed to spray above 80 degrees and it was 77 so hopefully this works out. I've never used this product. I wish I hadn't forgot my phone as my plants looked and smelled amazing. Still pulling off yellow leaves....

This week I Realised I'd used the wrong feed chart so I was over feeding 🙄 the leaves burnt on a few plants so I've only fed them water this week and will resume feeding from next week. There are still no pre sex pistils showing but it can't be far off now. As soon as pistils start to show I'll start feeding bloom feed. I've turned the light up to 30000lux using HLG's online calculator for converting a lux meter/app reading to PAR , my light is 3000k which with lm301H Led's works out @ 465ppfd which is about the max the plants can use in veg without supliments co2. Here's the link for anyone using quantum boards, it has different spectrum calculators. It's been really useful setting my light up so big thank you to HLG (even though I have a Geeklight) and a thank you to the GML show on YouTube for bringing it to growers attention (I love that weekly show, so much info and perspective) https://horticulturelightinggroup.com/blogs/calculators/converting-lux-to-ppfd Hope everyone's staying safe and growing 😎

Growing well this week. She's just starting to smell too 😋 I've not done a thing to her apart from feed/water and turn her pot 180 degrees through the week.

This entry covers days 31-38. There is a timelapse for this week. First off, I'm not sure whether this week should be the first flowering week. Evidence of preflowering is clearly visible. Again, another week of dramatic growth. This week the first nine pointed leaves have grown. What a crowded leaf! Unfortunately my LST efforts haven't achieved much in shaping the plant. This is because my net cup wasn't held in place enough, so the cup would tilt rather than the plant conforming to my bending. I plan on switching the nutrients for the transition from veg to flower.

I did a slight defoliation of the skinniest branches, changed up the nutrients a bit, and dropped the light schedule to 12/12 today on 5/31 Canopy is clearly wall to wall, pretty level. May add a second support net during/after stretch. 5/1 noticed a bit of potassium deficiency in some older lower fans, so I added more trio bloom. 5/4 update: The plants are now 33in tall, and showing some N deficiency. My runoff is 1500ppm, which is about double my inflow, so I'm increasing fertigation events, and if that doesn't resolve the issue, I'll be lowing the ppm of my solution.

8/10/2018 Day 15 - ppm=605 ph=5.6 Temp=27.6c-26.0c Day 16 - ppm=605 ph=5.6 Temp=26.4c-25.6c Day 17 - ppm=613 ph=5.6 Temp=27.3c-26.7c Day 18 - ppm=623 ph=5.5 Temp=27.6c-22.8c Day 19 - ppm=630 ph=5.5 Temp= 27.4c-22.6c Day 20 - ppm=640 ph=5.4 Temp=28.0c-23.6c Day 21 - ppm=652 ph=5.6 Temp=27.6c-22.8c I havent had to do much with her at all this week, she looks healthy and ppm of nutrients is rising nicely there is about 10l of feed left of the 20l reservoir so i will probably top it up next week at some point. Check out the time-lapse of the week, turn the volume up 👌👍

It's been more than ten years since my last grow. Back then it was still old school under 600W NDL. I'm curious what the difference is compared to LED. Have fun with my first report. —————————————————————— 02.02.2024: Germination in a paper towel with RO water and 0,75g/L BioEnhancer - Greenhouse Feeding —————————————————————— 03.02.2024: Unfortunately, I've already made a mistake. Only three out of four seeds germinated. I have now added the fifth seed. On the next grow I will germinate five directly and continue growing with the best four. Three germinated seeds planted in 0.4L pots. Biobizz Lightmix Soil 1L RO Water (026ppm) 0,75g Bio Enhancer 6,9 PH Pot with Soil 110g Pot with Soil and 60ml Water 160g temperature: 21,6 *C- 24,7 *C humidity: 72,6% - 80,1% humidifier settings: 85% Light intensity: 25% —————————————————————— 06.02.2024: Not much is happening at the moment. The plants are currently forming roots and growing slowly. Today I planted the fifth seed in a 0.4L pot. Let's see if there's anything else to come. —————————————————————— 08.02.2024: The plants are slowly getting bigger and they were watered for the first time after planting. The pot only weighed 130g and I poured it back to 160g. The fourth or fifth seed is now germinating! Now things can continue as planned. —————————————————————— 09.02.2024: Day 6 - I think the plants look very healthy. From the looks of it, the latecomer is doing well too. Feel free to write feedback in the comments. —————————————————————— 10.02.2024: A week is over. The ladies looking great. ——————————————————————

With the majority of trichomes now turned milky with some turning Amber, i have decided to begin a 10 day flush using nothing but ph balanced water. Doing a shorter than normal flush as the plants with deficiencies don't have much nutes to use up.

Está 5 semana de vegetación la planta dejó de estar en indoor y fue puesta en el patio, aquí recibe el sol de 11 am a 4 pm, al parecer se está espigando un poco pero en mi indoor estoy cultivando plantas automáticas correctamente desde el principio para mejorar la producción.

Crecimiento de flores bastante notorio Aparición de los primeros tricomas, va a buen paso con buena pinta. Se empezó a notar colores rojos muy tenues en las flores de la mitad de la planta (no en todas) Quizá en la siguiente semana vaya tomando tonalidades más rojizas, las altas temperaturas no son lo adecuado para el buen desempeño de las antocianinas.

This was her last week of extra light for an extended veg…she should flower by the end of week 10 just around full moon “Flower Moon” May 12th 2025.
