Tag 57: Um es kurz zu sagen ich bin nicht zufrieden mit meiner Cookies Gelato. Sie wächst ja soooo langsam 😞

Starting to finish up. Beautiful looking this time. Looks really aggressiv and smells just the same. The sour is too stretchy for my liking tho and takes too long time to finish

Had beautiful weather out one out another tomorrow and looking for a spot to grow some regular seeds kc brains 36 want a male to cross with some autos for seeds crossing some quick one RQS bigheads super fast auto possibly a bit Frisian duck but there my main crop this year as growing outside can be huge and seen some great diaries organiclarf for instance so happy so far add more pics soon

Hey friends, we have hit day 26! Seemed like close to the right time to throw in some bloom nutes. I decided to add some carbs too. One pheno looks like it's budding already. Let's see how this plays out

Full recovery from the accidental excess calcium. Cheese still has purple stems from lockout. However, the buds are filling up nicely. Gorilla Cookies has long skinny colas. The 4 Assed Monkey had to have the branches tied together. The branches are too weak for the weight of the buds!

~ 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: 8/13- Week Two of flower is here for the FastBuds Wedding Cheesecake FF, and I must say how thoroughly impressed I am so far with this strain! It has withstood attacks by insects (leaf hoppers and Japanese Beatles), intense heat and humidity (110℉ heat indexes with 90+% RH) and multiple splits of two of her main branches at the trunk, and yet has grown into the 'Beast from the East' reaching over EIGHT feet in height and spreading her branches out to an enormous SIX foot diameter! Our weather has cooled off after last weeks tropical system passed and it's nice to have a much needed break from the heat and humidity! 8/15- I am continuing to water daily with 5-8 gallons of well water from the garden hose. Today, I top dressed the Wedding Cheesecake FF with 3 cups of Gaia Green 2-8-4 Power Bloom which I watered in with well water from the hose. I then applied 1/2 gallon of a nutrient mix I made up in 2 1/2g of well water consisting of: 1/4 cup Neptune's Harvest Seaweed(kelp) plant food and 2 1/2 tsp. of Plantonics Amino Bliss. While I was under the canopy I also removed a bunch of scraggly small, thin branches that were anywhere from 12" to 20" long and would never had amounted to anything worthwhile. 8/17- We had a couple of passing light rain showers today which didn't provide a lot of rain so I went ahead and watered the Wedding Cheesecake Fast Flower with approximately 5g of well water just to make sure that she didn't get thirsty. 8/19- Thunderstorms yesterday and today have taken care of my watering duties and all I really had to do today is to remove some yellowed and dead leaves throughout the canopy. There's the second week of flower on the books for the FastBuds Wedding Cheesecake Fast Flower and I anticipate that she'll really start to take off in the next week or two so hold on, this could be a wild ride!🤯 Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

Did a full leaf strip on everything this week, the pics and videos were taken 2 days ago I just havnt got around to uploading them. Everything bounced right back after the strip but the pots arent drying out as fast and humidity went down a little bit.

First 10 day

Week 30 – Flowering Week 7 (Harvest) This week marks the end of the Pineapple Upside Down flowering cycle. The plant was flushed for a full week leading up to harvest. During this final phase, light intensity was deliberately reduced to help preserve trichomes and maintain the terpene profile as much as possible. A clear color change was observed compared to the previous week, confirming the plant was reaching full maturity. Trichomes were inspected closely and showed a dominant cloudy appearance, with a balanced presence of amber and very few remaining clear trichomes. Harvest has now been completed. The plant is entering the drying phase, which is planned to run at approximately 16–17°C. Drying time is expected to be at least 15 days, possibly extending to three weeks depending on conditions. Aroma at harvest is very pronounced, with strong pineapple and exotic fruit notes. Yield is not expected to be exceptional, with a large proportion of small buds, but all material will be used. Lower-grade buds and trim will likely be processed rather than discarded. This run came with its share of challenges and difficulties, but it provided valuable lessons. The focus going forward is to refine the process, improve consistency, and aim for a repeatable quality standard. The next update will take place after drying, trimming, and weighing, with a full harvest review. See you in a couple of weeks. Take care.

Into week two all cuttings have taken 8 have been topped, spacers have been deployed to train branches 3cm spacers I will increase the size of spacers once the branches develop a little more. about every 3 days Is required depending on how the strain performs. this is a more creative method of growing with the final picture of your media in mind {peecock effect}. once the media has starched I will snap on the spacers to create the scrog for a level canopy, holding the outer plants left and right further out to the left and right for more light exposure to develop my flowers to there full potential. middle of week 2 I put the spacers together to make the scrog mainly two train the left and right rows of plants outwards for more space in the middle of my canopy.

And the first week of flower is amongst us, I’m not sure if it’s the fast bud genetics, the living soil, or a mixture of both, but I think the videos say it all, the deep green throughout, day 41 and just look😍. Everything’s been sitting nicely 24/7 Humidity 49~56%, temps 23~26c This week they all received there last top feed, along with a slight bit of defoliation, some massive fan leaves! slightly over watered as you will notice in one of the videos, but I won’t be surprised if they’ve grew another few inches over night.

Pungently smelly with unreal amounts of crystal it’s swelling by the day such dense rock hard buds best strain I’ve ever grown 😜 @fastbuds have absolutely cracked it with this strain it’s more then perfect 10/10 💪💪💪👏 Took a little sample bud today to see what she is like it seems too early but it looks done one of the plants is strange

Die Pflanzen wurden nach 9 Tagen im Becher in jeweils einen 19L Stofftopf umgetopft. Nach 14 Tagen wurden beide mit einem Skalpell getoppt. Bisher fand so gut wie keine zusätzliche Düngung statt. Ab jetzt wird regulär Dünger verabreicht.

A major week for filling the trellis. And a premature lollipopping, normally wouldn’t do them till it’s week or two into 12/12 however I needed to hold the greenhouse plants indoors for a couple more weeks to ensure no frost damage will come to my crop due to no supplemental heat nor is the greenhouse sealed yet.

Day 8 - First official day of veg and both ladies are looking good and on schedule for a couple of changes. Nutrients: 10ml of Hydro A & Hydro B were added to both buckets (10L of water in each bucket) PH: the Milwaukee PH controller was set to work - starting at a PH of around 7.6 - 7.8, it slowly worked down to a perfect 6.0 over about 50minutes. Lights: The lights were readjusted to be 60cm from the seedlings who are all between 8-10cm tall and the intensity of the lights were increased to about 70% brightness. Day 9 - Both plants are taking nicely to the adjustments and I am happy with the progress. Temp and humidity are stable and PH is controlled. Day 11 - The second nodes are clearly visible today for both Chong and Max which would hopefully put them at 3 nodes by the end of the week - right on schedule! Day 13 - The ladies seem to be showing some signs of heat stress, so thinking about adjusting the lights after their period of dark today because they are due to be adjusted tomorrow anyway for the new week of veg

WOW!!! It’s legal!!!! 50 years of hiding is over! WOW! 12 plants now, next grow 18 plants. 7 Dutch Passion Glueberrys, 2 Dutch Passion Colorado Cookies, 1 Think Different, 1 Dutch Passion Blueberry, & 1 Dinafem Sour Diesel. I have grown before inside from 1982 to 1992 - outdoors a bunch. Now I can check on my ladies everyday!

She's almost there starting to get really stinky what a beautiful sweet stink though. Id say maybe one more week

Day 50 - New week and the plant looks great.I have been thinking about cutting off stems and leaves to help the growth will check with community later. Day 51 - The plant was watered today and i also defoliated the plant ( i think thats how you say it) so it can grow stronger and get bigger buds. Day 52 - I tied the plant down again in a different position just to spread it out so everyone gets equal opportunity lighting. I checked the amount of water the plant uses and she is nearly dry again so tomorrow  i have to water her again with bloom chemicals. Day 53 - She looks fine today Day 54 - The plant doesn't look well i don't know why, I've given it bloom nutrients today and i hope it helps her to look better tomorrow. Day 55 - The plant looks better today and she is drinking a lot of water as she seems a little dry. Day 56 - The plant looks fine for now.
