~ 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. Itโ€™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 โ€˜qualityโ€™. 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 thatโ€™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 youโ€™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'sโ„‰). The plan is simple... let her grow inside under a 19/5 light schedule until the nighttime temperatures stay above the mid 40'sโ„‰, 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!๐Ÿคช๐Ÿ’š ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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! ๐Ÿ’šGrowers Love!๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ™

I figured nothing could go wrong with 50% amber / 50% milky trichomes. Harvest day, Medical Mass: Huge buds and no traumas but got bud rot because of too high temps. The best I've ever smoked. Harvest day, Pineapplex Express: Got an early trauma when transplanting but handled it beautifully. Potent smoke. Pretty satisfied for a first grow, and I have a lot of changes for my 2nd grow!

July 20: 31 inches with a 16 cola manifold ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Ž. Definitely growing fast and has now pulled ahead of the 16 cola Bruce Banner Fast which is at 30 inches. Hot again today so a bit more water and a couple of mistings with hose water to cool off a bit and provide some humidity. One tomato plant that I realized had a potassium deficiency responded well to a potassium silicate foliar spray. You can learn some cool stuff growing dope. July 24: still growing fast and maybe starting to pre-flower which is fine cuz Iโ€™m starting the force flowering in a few days. This is just 12 h of darkness to get this photoperiod to start flowering. Yes, itโ€™s a photoperiod plant from Fast Buds. And itโ€™s awesome. Did another lazy compost tea which is just 5 gallon pail of water thatโ€™s sat out overnight to degas, two handfuls of mature compost, some molasses, kelp and Humic Blend, and finally a couple handfuls of shredded coco coir to give the bacteria some where to attach and grow. Leave overnight, maybe stir a couple times, but thatโ€™s all. 24-48 h maximum as you donโ€™t want it going anaerobic (and stinky). After tea, she and the other girls got a nice top dressing of barley and Power Bloom with minor amounts of oyster shells (for calcium) and Azomite for trace metals. These are bloom nutrients in anticipation of the start of flowering this weekend. This has been the hottest 90 day period ever here in Edmonton, and lots of other places too.

I'd like to say a big hello to all and thanks for taking a look at my first grow! all feedback is appreciated and I am happy to experience growing this plant even if I do not succeed this time. Apologies for the bad picture quality, I will improve this! without further ado lets give this Dwarf a happy life! Pre soaked the canna pro plus coco with plant start at 2ml/1ltr No activity from the plant in the first three days. using a big baggie as a humidity dome which has helped keep humidity high for the ๐ŸŒฑ Noticed on day 5 that the root has made its way through the soil bigtime and was desperately reaching for the light... immediately placed under the phlizon 3000w (630w true power draw) COB LED using only the LED supplemental lights (270w)and started a 2ml/ltr dose of plant start Day 6 - Plant has started to recover from being in the dark too long, starting rhizotonic today also at 2ml/l alongside 2ml/l vitalink plantstart. Regularly misting the humidity dome to keep humidity as near 70% as possible (sometimes with rhizotonic spray) Temperature is between 23c and 27c throughout the day. Day 7 - Nothing much to report other than healthy looking seedling, I've been alternating between the COB (330w) and LED (270w) lights throughout the day, have not to wanted to put them both on together incase I fry her :D Tomorrow I'm starting my week 2 and im seriously considering transplanting to my final pot (smart pot) which is a 5gallon/19liter pot... (will seek advice below) and switching from 2ml/ltr vitalink plantstart 2ml rhizotonic schedule to canna A +B 2ml/ltr canna rhizotonic 2ml/ltr.

28/10/2025 17:30 11.3ยฐC 60% RH Time changed to 1 hour back during the last weekend so it's dark outside and i cannot go there before,also it Is fucking cold outside all of a sudden after some warm days We are at the very end of october and these plants looks awesome especially Coco fresh Coco Milk seems to have put a bit of weight so i decided to let her go another 3 days because the moon will be more than a half which Is pretty good Video #1 Coco fresh from below,finally frosting up Video #2 Coco Milk 101 days from seed This plant Is dying but i will continue her life even if i will find more bud rot sites The smell Is at his peak and she has almost no white hairs anymore Inside there is a bit of amberish trichomes but also some new trasparent ones The smell Is coming out more like an original girl scout cookies with a milky coconut twist,i keep saying she has a very strange aroma thinking It comes from a plant Next time will be the end i swear ๐Ÿ˜ƒ Video #3 Coco fresh 89 days from seed White pistils are fading fast and the trichomes production is reaching his peak The apical buds are just so heavy,starting to falling of his weight Very good smell finally showing,pretty similar to the Coco Milk but with a candy straight cali terp coming out more and more Almost no amber inside this one so i don't really know how many days i have to wait After the very first days of november a freezing storm will come from Russia and i can't risk anymore,maybe i have to chop before the perfect trichome ratio

September 2, Day 43. I removed the trellis because it was annoying and I realized the spaces were too large and that's why it felt clumsy... Kabob sticks are doing the trick so far. As I was clipping some leaves to prepare for flowering, I noticed roots growing through the bottom of the pot. I hate transplanting plants so I sat the current pot in another pot that was filled 30% with additional coco coir that had been prebuffered with seedlings strength nutrients to avoid shock. I am confident the roots will continue their journey through the first pot and into the additional space below. Now to observe for a few days, aiming to switch to flowering next week. I have removed at least 30 leaves throughout the last week and she is still looking so bushy and healthy... Thanks Recharge. I ordered Big Bud by Advanced Nutrients and I look forward to using it during flowering. SUPER MEGA HAPPY UPDATE Day 44, September 3. I clipped a branch and planted it in a prebuffered with seedling strength nutrients rockwool pellet... I baptized her Kaboom Baby.... And. She. Survived!!! Ahhhhh!!! So freaking happy! I am going to start a second grow under this diary called Kaboom Baby, La Reinita Africana. Update, Day 46, September 5, 11am. Fed and watered with all nutrients except Recharge. Kaboom Mama is growing wild and free. I had so many training plans but I like her this way. As always, thank you for stopping by. If you have any thoughts about this grow, please leave them below. Happy growing and massive yields to all ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’š
