Is your cake from seed or clone? I'm also growing the wedding cake (JBeezy Cut) from clone. Any tips?
Hi there! My Cake is from fem seed from MSNL . She has been very easy to grow in hydroponics . For me she has been a heavy eater and I have had to feed her more nutrient than the other plant. She is also very large and needs a lot of room. Good luck with your cut.

FASCINATING FASCIATED PLANTS

Nature makes "mistakes" all the time, producing animals and plants that are different from typical members of their species. Many of these "mistakes" are called mutations, and have a genetic basis that can be passed on to future generations. Mutations that provide a favorable adaptation can become incorporated over time into most if not all of the members of a species. Unfavorable or non-adaptive mutations are often eliminated from a population. This natural selection process by nature is the driving force behind evolution.
One interesting type of mistake that is occasionally found in plants is known as a fasciated or crested growth form. It is usually the result of a growing point changing from a round dome of cells into a crescent shape. Subsequent growth produces a flat stem. In some cases fasciation is the result of several embryonic growing points fusing together, with the same flat-stem appearance.
Fasciated stems look strange. Leaves, flowers, and fruits often develop unusual shapes and appear at odd angles to the stem. Some, looking like hand-held fans, have led to the descriptive term "crested". Nature usually eliminates fasciated tissues. Branches or even whole plants with this condition are overshadowed by normal branches or plants of the species, and do not last long.
Humans are fascinated by fasciated plants. Their unusual shapes make them prized by many in horticulture. Most can be perpetuated by vegetative propagation, and are designated as cultivars of the species. Some noteworthy examples are: crested saguaro cactus, fasciated Japanese cedar, and fantail willow. Less frequently, the fasciation is carried from generation to generation by seed, with the fasciation only manifesting itself in the flowers and subsequent fruit. Some examples would include crested cockscomb celosias and beefsteak tomatoes. (If you have ever wondered why beefsteak tomatoes have such unusual shapes, look at their flowers and you will readily see why).
What causes plants to produce fasciated stems? For the most part, we just don't know. Fasciation has been induced experimentally by applications of plant hormones, severe pruning, wounding, and atypical day lengths. Most, however, appear by chance with no obvious cause.
Rarely does a year go by without my discovering fasciated stems on wild and domesticated plants. Recent finds have included dandelion, asparagus, raspberry, black-eyed susan, and the tree of heaven (Ailanthus). If you look carefully you will see them too. Finding these fascinating fasciations offers small but intriguing rewards for observing nature.

Tops looking great lowers are fluff I'll make sure to clean up the lowers next go around my 4x4 is looking right tho but the picture size is too large to upload

Also these VivoSun led's do a great job with the bulk but I'm not seeing nearly any frost on these girls it's weird. I'm getting complete opposite under my 630 cmh dual bulb

Hello all. I see many familiar names here. I have taken a long break and my last mother died a year ago. Looks like none of the genetics I have is viable anymore. Shopping for new seeds is giving me serious Rip van Winkle issues lol. Do you have any recommendations for a U.S based seed bank? My last order from Breeeders Boutique got confiscated so I'd rather avoid dealing with customs. Hope you all are well. Can't believe this thread has 5600 pages!
We should make an OG Rollitup thread, for the founding fathers

Well NY finally legalized this year we can have a whole 3 plants in flower and 3 in veg per person (lmao).
Good luck to all and happy growing.

:peace:
But are there " size " limit's ?;) here we can have 6 per adult over 21 ( up to 2 per household ) but you can only grow an ounce or some horseshit.
