This one is hanging in there. The leaves have been yellow and sickly for weeks on end. I think it got ravaged by RA. Under control now, sugar leaves are green, buds seem to be fattening up. Considering it’s only 5 weeks into flower, I think it’s fine.
I do have to say, I like the genetics of the other Wedding Cake strain that I’m growin. This one seems to have quite a bit higher leaf to calyx ratio. But the trichome production is on par wiht the other strain...
Do you plan on giving this plant the 4-way LST treatment? I’m very interested you see the results of this Wedding Cake grown outdoors and LST’ed. WC is my next planned grow (indoors, 3x3 tent), I hope this lady gets you some great smoke!
@jahredi, right on, I’m cheering for you and your lady! Can’t wait to watch your progress. I’m currently in week 3 flowering a Universal Kush plant indoors, 4-way’d and have eight colas. First grow!
@Raptor7, I’m not sure! I ended up with the severe pruning from a sketchy transplant. I just cut them way back so the roots i destroyed wouldn’t have to try and feed so much foliage. I am set up for a 4 way LST though! I have three plants that I pruned like this, including another wedding cake variety from a different grower, which I grew outdoor last year with great success.
I’m just going to go with the flow and play it day by day... I have a 10x6x6 hoop house and I’ll need to finish 4 photos in it, so I’ll be doing something!
@Raptor7, I’m not totally sure... But there was a spider posted up there, which made me think that he was snacking on whatever pests made that... If you look at the leaf in the foreground, it’s pretty well munched too. I did another spinosad treatment and haven’t noticed it get any worse. Hopefully it was just something minor and it’s sorted. My biggest worry is that it was some sort of burrowing pest. But I’m probably being irrational lol 🤞
I see you went with the 4-way? Looking good so far, hope you win the war on insects soon! New greenhouse layout looks clean, pleases my OCD lol. Very excited to follow her diary through flowering!
@Raptor7, haha. I rearrange it too much lol. But I like the large photos on one side and cute little autos on the other for now. Will be interesting to see how it all fits after the stretch 🙏
Not sure I’ll top/prune next year. We will see. In general, this wedding cake strain I have produces a ton of bud sites on a very solid and stout structure. The pruning and LST just adds more work that I don’t think adds that much more weight. I kinda feel like the whole topping/pruning approach is heard more towards dealing with limited space 🤔
Thank you for breaking down exactly what your top dressing composition is, helps point me down the Google rabbit hole researching for a few hours ;)
Looking great, I think you’ll have great results. If not, you have a great learning event to make you better. Please include a tasting notes update after the dry/cure, I’ll be growing Wedding Cake very soon!
