Spent eternity trimming! So this is why people call it trim jail. Yield: TM1: 205g Dry | 61g trim - Best growth and color, 7.2 oz yielder! TM2: 177.5g dry | 72.5g trim - Frosty and colorful fruity TM3: 154g dry | 67.2g trim - Even frostier than TM2 but no color more gas TM4: 71g dry | 33.6g trim - Super larfy, still decent taste TM5: 65.3g dry | 19.3g trim - Best Flavor, super gas and sweet Total: 672.8g dry (23.8 oz) | 253.6g trim (9 oz) Flavor is a gassy guava candy with sweet cake after tones. Frost and color is up there, structure is lacking in cola formation. There's a lot more popcorn nugs than hoped for. Definitely due to poor defoliation, lack of scrog, and late PK. Also Besides that, a 672.8g yield would be ~1g/watt - an ideal goal for any starting growers

13.4. - Slowly switching to bloom ferts. Also added Bud Candy to the mix. I had to defoliate a bit more as the humidity is raising during the night, even with dehumidifier. Watered 💧 15.4. - Seems like plants like the new mix. 4 of 7 plants already in flower. Jack even started to form the first buds. Watered 💧 17.4. - Plants look nice, buds are forming and each day I find more. Unfortunately, one plant (Gorilla) is probably some bad pheno and has a lot of thin leaves. However, it also starts to form some buds sites so nothing is lost! Watered 💧 19.4. - Week wrap-up: I'm totally out of free space. Plants took over the whole growbox and they're thriving ! However, I'm spotting some signs of nutrient burn/deficiency, so I gotta change up the mix again. I guess I will try to remove the Bio Grow. Watered 💧 13.4. - 19.4.2024

I think the plants finished their stretch this week. The buds are now getting bigger and some trichomes have appeared on the leaves next to the buds 😎 The smell is also stronger than last week. I have some small issues with the plants. Yellow/brown tips for the Blackberry Cake and the Cashew Kush and yellowing leaves for the Jack Herer. The BioBloom seems to slow down the issues so I hope it will be alright. The previously broken branch of the Cashew Kush was not flowering so I removed it. On the other hand, the Blackberry Cake nicely recovered from the LST strings marks 💪 Plants heights at the end of the week : ------------------------------------------- Blackberry Cake : 80 cm Jack Herer : 59 cm Cashew Kush : 83 cm

Unfortunately, one of the two seedlings succumbed to the intense sunlight exposure of a single day and exhibited classic signs of stress and stem damage, succumbing within the first week. With only one seedling remaining, I decided to proceed by faithfully following the established nutrient schedule. Here are the nutrients administered: May 8th: 250ml of water 0.5ml of RootJuice 0.5ml of BioHeaven 0.5ml of Activera EC: 450 nS pH: 6.5 May 10th: 350ml of water 1ml of RootJuice 1ml of FishMix 1ml of BioHeaven 1ml of Activera EC: 850 nS pH: 6.5

11/13 all the clones are doing great. These will be ready in a couple of weeks. I have three more that I flipped to flower and I’m running them at 76 was the three plants it was an accident but they seem to be responding just fine at that so I’m gonna try and maybe not have the lights up so high bleached out the leaves on my other plants these lights are incredibly bright, and I I run them to high of wattage but I love these they’re the best I’ve ever had 11/15 Wednesday I took some samples from blackjack I think earlier in the week and I had them in the jar and I took some pictures of them. The resin is incredible. I’ve never had results like this. This is really nice. I gave her water today with light nutrients, and about 3 1/2 mL of the Boombastic only half a gallon each I’m smoking a sample that I took off and put in a jar and dried and wow it’s so pretty see all the resin I took pictures and the video of that pretty good 11/18 Saturday the tops are beginning to be so heavy. They’re falling over and I can’t keep them standing up. It’s the most frustrating but the best problem to have really good stuff. 11/19 I had a lot of trouble standing them up yesterday I stand one up another one would fall down. I felt like they were playing a practical joke on me. I look like the three fucking stooges doing it. I was so pissed off. It must’ve been hilarious. They’re doing really good today. Nobody’s falling down, I don’t know how much longer I can keep them growing but wow they’re really something I have three other clones that just switched over to flower and I have three of them that are still in veg so I’m gonna have these for quite a long time I’m probably gonna take clones off of clones off of clones it’s hard to let go when you’ve grown the same plant this long they grow a little taller than I’d like but I have a really nice smoke. It doesn’t make me too hungry. It’s good for nausea but I can still function around the house and get everything done. I have to fast a lot so I don’t get sick and this helps that even though I’m hungry it helps with the discomfort of not being able to eat. I gave early flower nutrients to the three blackjacks in early flower. I just flipped them this week I added a half a milliliter of the Bloombastic just to get her used to it. I went pretty light on the nutrients I introduced the nectar from General hydroponics a sweetener I put that in there I used 5 mL of that, it said to use 10 no way

Reaching peak flower now so added PK into the mix for extra Potassium and Phosphorous over the next 10 days or so. Never had plants soak up this much nutrients without any burn (touch wod) so I'm really impressed with the Vitalink range. These 2 clones are at the back of the tent, and to the bottom and right of the screen in the timelapse.

Week 6 Flower – A Hard Lesson: Bud Rot Quick Recap – From Seed to Here This Lava Cake run started beautifully: • Germination was smooth and fast using the Cannakan with Aptus Regulator and Start Booster. • Veg went strong, with both phenos thriving under the Black Series LED and later joined by ThinkGrow and Lumatek support. • Transplants into 11L fabric pots gave them space to expand, roots looked stunning. • Early flower (weeks 1–4) brought explosive growth, thick white hairs, and dense colas forming under carefully tuned nutrition — Aptus base inputs with Plagron complements. But the same density that made these flowers shine also made them vulnerable. High humidity swings and airflow inconsistencies created the perfect conditions for bud rot (Botrytis cinerea) to sneak in. What Happened This Week Despite our best efforts, phenotype two (Lava Cake #2) showed visible signs of bud rot. To protect the garden, she was harvested early. Infected material was thrown straight into the trash (not compost — spores spread too easily), and the healthy parts are now drying in a separate, controlled space. Phenotype one (Lava Cake #1) remains in the tent. She has minor spots, but overall is swelling and pushing forward. She’ll be closely monitored daily to make sure the infection doesn’t spread. 👉 Full educational article from Zamnesia: 🔗 Bud Rot Cannabis Grower Guide – Zamnesia https://www.zamnesia.com/grow-weed/563-bud-rot-cannabis-grower-guide What Bud Rot Is • Caused by Botrytis cinerea, a fungus that thrives in warm, humid, poorly ventilated conditions. • Begins inside dense buds, hidden from sight, and by the time it appears on the surface, the inner cola is usually already compromised. • Spreads quickly if unchecked, especially in crowded flowering rooms. Why It Happened • Humidity spikes during flower. • Airflow not perfectly balanced, leaving “dead spots” in the canopy. • Dense colas trapping moisture. • Temperature swings stressing the balance further. Prevention Tips (for us and for everyone reading) • Lower humidity in mid/late flower (40–50%, then 35–40% near harvest). • Strong airflow: oscillating fans above and below canopy + efficient extraction/intake. need improving in here for my next run • Regular defoliation to open the canopy. • Daily inspections of the biggest buds. • Harvest at the right time — pushing too long in risky environments can invite problems. What to Expect / Not to Expect Going Forward • Lava Cake #2: She’s drying now. Expect about 2 weeks of slow, careful drying under controlled temps and humidity. With bud rot, extra caution is needed — we won’t rush, but we’ll also make sure nothing risky makes it through. Expect reduced yield because of the early cut and loss of infected colas, but quality and safety will come first. • Lava Cake #1: She will continue swelling in the tent. Expect daily monitoring, improved airflow, and cautious optimism. If she stays strong, she could still finish beautifully. • The Room: We’ll dial in airflow and humidity management even tighter, keeping CO₂ and temps in check, and prepare the AC unit to avoid these swings in the future. Closing Thoughts Bud rot is a tough enemy, but also one of the most important teachers in growing. It reminds us that environment control is just as vital as genetics or nutrients. Yes, we lost part of this run, but we also gained experience that will make every future run stronger. And sharing this openly might help others spot it sooner, act faster, and maybe even save their crop.

With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 P.S. – Drying After Bud Rot Harvest For Lava Cake #2, we harvested the entire plant and are drying her whole. Because bud rot was present, we’re being extra careful: • Drying in a separate, controlled space, away from the main room. • Temperature kept around 18–20°C, with humidity 50–55% — steady and stable. • Gentle airflow moving through the room, never directly on the buds. • Daily inspections to ensure no hidden spots continue developing. The goal is a slow 10–14 day dry, preserving as much aroma and quality as possible, while making absolutely sure nothing unhealthy makes it through. With bud rot, safety comes first — anything questionable goes straight to the trash. 👉 Why whole-plant drying? By leaving the plant intact, moisture moves more gradually from stems and inner tissues to the buds. This slows down the drying process, prevents overdrying, and helps preserve delicate terpenes and flavonoids that give Lava Cake her unique flavor. Especially after a bud rot scare, a steady, controlled dry is essential for both safety and quality.

~ 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: 5/17- The FastBuds Wedding Cheesecake Fast Flower is going into Week Eight from seed now and is looking like a champ! I started brewing a batch of Compost Tea today which should be ready in 24-36 hours, after which I'll give the Wedding Cheesecake FF a treat! 5/19- I'm almost certain that slugs are the culprits of all of the leaf chewing that has occurred. I only wish I had figured it out sooner but, on the bright side, this is a photoperiod and she has plenty of time to recover so she'll be just fine. Once I figured out that I was facing a slug attack, I immediately deployed my favorite defense against slugs and other little soft bodied buggers and their larvae... Diatomaceous Earth. This stuff is death to fungus gnat larvae, along with other pest larvae and will ruin a slugs day quickly! If you look at diatomaceous earth under magnification, it resembles shards of glass and acts as the same on the soft bodies of pests either repelling, or killing them! 5/21- The Wedding Cheesecake is putting out a ton of new growth and has maintained her color and vigor. I have been training her branches through the trellis net as they get long enough and will probably be installing a second net before too long! Our weather has dried out and warmed up so I'm watering daily with well water straight from the garden hose. 5/23- Eight weeks of growth for the Wedding Cheesecake Fast Flower and she just keeps looking better by the day... She's going to be a gorgeous plant! I cannot wait to see her in a month or so... can you? Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

Final week, things got really easy for a few days. The plants are eating less and less each time I check the ppm at the end of the day. It will be RO water only when topping up the res for the rest of the grow. Made an effort to lower humidity as much as possible seeing as I can't do cold stress. Triches are pretty much all cloudy and just waiting on some amber to show. Only seven plants made it in the end as a revegged plant was out competed and basically it might give an ounce. 1.235 2.440 1.920 1.385 .940 1.075 Combined wet weight: 8.99 kg or 19.8 pounds

Ya estamos en plena floración y con las luminarias a max potencia... Evidentemente el aire acondicionado también está trabajando durante la fase de encendido. Flowa-Bloom es la estrella de los nutrientes a incorporar, pero todos son importantes... Así que sigo la tabla de fertilización de JUJU Royal al pie de la letra. Eso si, primero humedezco bien el sustrato con agua, para aprovechar bien la solución con los nutrientes y que no filtre por las macetas textiles. Riego cada cuatro días.

Pretty happy with this grow. Going to either reveg 1 and pop s2 for next or do all s2. Absolute 0 herm through all flower and all plants. Chopped them. Will try to reveg 2 I am very baked
