Every grow has to have one that exceeds all expectations. The Pound Cake, a plant I've fallen in love with. I can't even explain how amazing I find it that it's grown so big, despite being in such a small pot. We'll end up with so much space that we'll make a real monster out of it.

in the last week i did some defoliation and tied her down switched to 12/12 yesterday

Taking of now, had to coat them with neem oil and garlic spotted a mite 😪

7 weeks behind us. Goin' gooooooooood. No more feeding. Last 1.5 weeks will be water-only. I did just yesterday remove some top-layer canopy leaves to increase light penetration to lower budsites. They smell amazing and are beautiful - but I still hope for more resin production in the last week. Every day they get thicker and thicker, yum 😋😋😋

Another great week! Sweet Caroline looks to have stopped stretching and some buds are starting to form, so I'll be holding off on doing anything more than feeding her for a while. Might still trim the odd leaf, but probably only if it's dead. Day 57 - Light's at full power now. I want to ensure that im not burning her, but I want to maximise growth potential as well, so I'll be keeping an eye to see how she handles it. Day 60 - Fed 6 cups clean PH:6 T:21°C Day 61- Did a little bit of defoliation where some leaves had died off at the bottom. Took a bunch of the ties off from previous LST. The tent was getting full, so I repositioned some things for better light distribution. Also took a runt I had been growing out of the tent and into the backyard to give Sweet Caroline more room to breathe. Day 63- Fed .75 gallon of nutrient solution. PH: 6.01 PPM: 500 T:20°C Doubled up on the Micro and the Bloom, as my schedule for the week seemed a little lite. Overall, I'm happy with the Sweet Tooth Auto so far. Smells great, looks like she will produce a solid amount and hasn't really given me any issues. Excited to see how she turns out. Thanks for stopping by! 🥦

Get high just by smelling them😵‍💫😶‍🌫️

She is going to be huuuuuge! All branches and stems have risen up and are strengthening daily in order to produce big resin filled flowers! I love her progress as she climbed to the height of the purple punch and soon to stand taller! Can’t wait to have the final weeks approach! Thanks for stopping by buds and chuds 🤩😎💪🏽

Hi ✌️ Die Blüten werden langsam immer dicker und fangen auch an zu riechen. Bei ihr ist das Aroma allerdings deutlich schwächer und geht eher in eine süßliche Kräuterrichtung. Sie wird wahrscheinlich auch nicht so viel Harz entwickeln, was ich aber gut finde, da das Ganze ja in meiner Küche stattfindet. Da brauche ich keinen starken Geruch 😅. Ansonsten gibt es eigentlich nicht viel zu erzählen. Ich werde sie in der kommenden Woche noch einmal etwas entlauben und ein bisschen weniger gießen weil sie, glaube ich, schon wieder etwas zu feucht steht.🤣 Ich wünsch euch ein gesundes Neues Jahr!✨️💚

This week was key in identifying as to why my growth has slowed down so much. I already knew that the temperature of the tent would affect the growth and with the nutrients still being pretty high, I don't see why it's the way it is other than that being the culprit. The scent is still very weak at the moment too so those trichomes were just getting boiled. In comparison to the rest of the grow, the temps rose at the wrong time smh. It's alright though because as I am posting this, I bought a more powerful oscillating fan and it's giving me night temps of around 73 and should give me around 76 day so we will see how she looks on Sunday.

Hi everyone ! everything is going well, except i have burn some leafs with light ( i was too greedy and put the light too close ) but it's only on 2 or 3 leafs so it's ok. i can't wait !! i wanna taste it 😍😍😍

She’s a looker- and not showing any sign of slowing down as of yet. Took her out, checked for dried leaves on her interior and snapped a few photos.

.

She's getting heavy. Buds are a bit too puffy for my taste. They feel hard and got plenty of mass but inside there are lots of tiny air pockets.

Week 5 defoliated a little but not much , there getting sticky and the smell is getting really strong now with a smell of oranges and pungent weed , you can see the trichomes forming all over the plants , they look similar at this point to super lemon haze and are stretching like it too.

What to say about this week? For starters LST was started this week. Initially I used garden ties but soon after replaced them with 6” garden staples . 2 of the 6 girls began throwing pistals resulting from the LST starting around day 15 YIKES 😬. The Zkittlez & the Runtz both from (Expert Seeds ) began giving the 5x5 its first smells . The LST so far has been a pleasure no ooosy daisies so far & the girls are showing what they are made of . The secondary shoots have great potential to form a nice round bush that I can train out into an even-as-possible canopy . Today is day 21 & day 20 for this bunch . They are only using Gaia Green dry amendments for feedings but I decided to take some advice given to another grower & supplement my girls with some compost tea . NO I DONT THINK THEY NEED ANYTHING ADDITIONALLY IM REALLY HAPPY SO FAR WITH MY NUTES bbbbuuuuuttttttt in the short chance that my ladies may take a liking to an occasional tea & reward my pampering with large , long , frosty, stacked cola’s . . Thennnn I’m supplementing , I consider this all “4-play” for my ladies Ik a giver 🤷‍♀️😭 My only concerns are racing against this clock to get as much size & solid structure before flowering sets in I’ve really got my heart set on a certain outcome & I’m one for a good challenge. Finally , atleast as much as I can remember, I increased the dimmer knob on the light from 65% to about 78%. I won’t increase the watts any higher until bloom sets in fully & at that point I’ll be turning it to 100% raising it a maybe 6 inches & watching patiently for my girls to start praying 🙏 to it . Week 3 in the books !

Great harvest! Ended up a little shy of 12 ounces from the two plants, all super dense sticky top buds!! It’s smooth, flavorful and strong! Love it!
