Fastbuds Wedding Cheesecake

My best strain I’ve grown so far, whilst my growing experience is limited to 2 previous harvests, I’m certain even the most experienced will agree that she was a delight to grow. She doesn’t grow to tall but what she doesn’t have in height is quite the opposite in bud production. She is also a speedy grower, she grows just as fast and big of the rest of them but in flower she slows down in her stretch. I grew her with 2 other fastbuds strains and certain she will have produced the most bud. I weighed her biggest cola day after chop which came in at 41g which really impressed me. Another 3 big similar sized colas and few smaller branches should see my dried yield reach 70g and above in 90 days on the dot with 9 weeks flower. She can handle her nutrients quite well, I went above fastbuds recommendation and attempt full strength dosages (from week 4 of veg) of organic nutrients and she handle it like a champion, inciting me to push her even harder. At which I chickened out and was worried to over do it. I am keen to see how far she can be pushed in future as I’ll definitely be growing this strain again. Her resistance to mold and pests was also impressive as there were signs early in flower of PM in the tent but after a good defoliation it never popped up again. Also had my Lemon Pie autos infested with red mites and for some reason they never bothered with the Strawberry Pie. I went ahead and treated with a light dose of pyrol and neem oil as a precaution. Moving on to her bud structure, she get really resinous and dense flower that fattens and fattens. In her last week, her trichomes said she was ready but yet she kept on growing, if it wasn’t for me and my smoke preferences, she’d still be fattening after 9 weeks of flower. Just touching the buds leaves you with the stickiest fingers that you have to give it a good scrub with soap to get off your fingers which speaks for her resin production. She’s has glittery trichomes that covers the most beautiful complements of colours, during early flower her buds were all green as she developed they started fading pinkish red like a nice rose. After her 48 hour dark period before chop some of those red tones turned purple which left me staring at a combination of green, pink, red, purple bud with orange pistils and glittering trichomes to top it off. The grow diaries resizes my pictures so please take a look at my Instagram account to experience her full beauty. She holds a sweet aroma with a subtle hint of skunk that even my carbon filter had difficulty hiding. No need for after shave when all you need is 5min in your tent to get smelling good. This is no joke, my friend would come around and have this ongoing joke with me that I have my canna-cologne on upon getting that wif when greeting. With the right training early on (LST) she can give you great yields as all her colas grow to be fat densed buds. I haven’t weighed her out yet but will update this diary once dried. I’m extremely eager to taste her but I said to myself to be patient and give her at least 2-3 week cure to fully appreciate what I can imagine be an amazing smoke. Will update this diary at that point. I’ve given in and decided to give her a taste after 11 days from harvest. She’s far from ready but immediately gave me a nice indica knock. I enjoy my indica as I tend to smoke mostly at night and she’s the perfectly ideal for me. It doesn’t knock you out completely but it’s a lovely relaxing high which is pleasant before bedtime. I don’t feel couch locked either, the 15% sativa does come through as you are not completely drained of energy that an indica would give you. Really love this strain and will definitely be growing her again

Wedding cheesecake The wedding cheesecake has amazing potential to give you great yields. Of the three autos, this was my tallest plants. It was extremely easy to grow her and used LST to train her. It’s disease resistance is great as I did find PM in the tent but not on her even with my tent being too compact at times and poor defoliation management from me. Her buds is nice and compact, however, it doesn’t fatten as great as I would like to have. I think I should have removed more of the lower branches so that the main branches could get more energy so not sure whether it is just a smaller producer or whether it was due to me not clearing the lower growth. Her smells are sweet and fruity but can’t put an exact smell to it but very pleasant to the nostrils. 6 days into drying and the plants gave me a combined weight of 107 grams with 60 grams of Larfy bud and trim, which I’m fairly pleased with 53 grams per plant. She’s a 50/50 hybrid but just as the SP I haven’t tasted her yet and was already high when trying the resin from the pruning blades to give any smoke report but will update in the coming weeks. I would grow her again knowing that I can improve her bud sizes with proper plant management to increase yields. Will add smoke report once cured properly. Added: tried her out for the first time 10days after chop. Her taste is a nice cheesy strain taste that’s a bit creamy. Her high is very strong and as a sativa dominant I get a little paranoia but nothing too overwhelming. I also feel very energetic and a bit restless, so wouldn’t recommend this at night but more a day time including social situations as it made me quite talkative 😅 really enjoyed the first taste of this strain

I love the lemon smell so trying this strain out was a must but I’ll get into the smell later on in my review. To start, she’s a easy plant to grow, she grows really tall and loves LST, I would recommend using this form of training and can grow tall and stretches lovely in flower. She is very resilient as well and handle stress with good ease so maybe topping can be used although I did not try it this time round. Both my Lemon Pie autos suffered from windburn, a slight PM issue and redmites, but she still managed to fight them off with ease and it didn’t slow the rate of its growth and produced a good yield at roughly 50g per plant. Reviewing my grow, I could have defoliated better and remove small branches so all the plants energy is focused on my main colas which would increase my yield. On to her terpene profile, the lemon smell is amazing and extremely strong but also has hints of pine that compliments the lemon very well. Both my plants leaves turned purple late into flower which made for a beautiful plant with light green buds exactly as it looks on fastbuds website. I’m very satisfied with the yield as she produced 50g per plant as my second seed to harvest grow so will definitely grow her again.
