•••••••••••••••••••••••••• Oct. 31 - Nov. 6 •••••••••••••••••••••••••• 👩‍🌾 SOWED: Aug. 9th 🕛 12/12 START: Oct. 1st 🗓️ WEEK: 6 of FLOWERING 🌼 FLOWER TIME: 55-60 Days 🏁 ESTIMATED FINISH: Nov. 25th - Nov. 30th •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• WEEKLY SUMMARY: •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 🙋‍♀️‍ Fo' Twenny here! 🙋‍♀️‍ Back with another update on our mostly Indica 👰🍰 WEDDING CAKE cultivar bred by BARNEY'S FARM! Any advice, suggestions, or constructive criticisms are always welcome. Now, for my weekly notes! •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 👃 AROMA: She smells slightly sweet with some biscuit and heavy creamy. I catch a hint of cheese undertone that is faintly detectable in her complex mix of terpenes. She definitely smells DANKKKKK and gassy. ❇️ BUD STRUCTURE: She is building forming thick bud clusters that are covered in resin glands. Her pistils are long and vibrant white. 🎨 COLOR: She is a nice deep dark shade of green with a slight blue or purple hue. Her leaves have slightly glossy look with defined ridges and red petioles. She looks like she sill show off some nice colors when she starts to fade. 🌿 STEM, STRETCH, & INTERNODES: She definitely shows her Sativa genetics in her stretch. She is currently second tallest in the tent. She has thick stems with relatively tight internodal spacing near the base, but you can see the elongation between nodes from her early flowering stretch. She likes to grow side branches and I have taken a few off selectively here and there. ✂️ TRAINING/PRUNING: No changes in my pruning strategy. I have continued selective defoliation as needed to avoid crowding herself and her neighbors. I remove no more than 25% of foliage at any one time, and usually closer 10-15%. I space out defoliation with a minimum of 3 days between sessions, in most instances. There will be exceptions to that, but it is a good rule of thumb that I try to adhere to. She has been trained to have 6 main shoots and I am using LST techniques to gently bend her stems to evenly fill her space without overcrowding. ❄️TRICHOMES/RESIN PRODUCTION: She is getting frosty and has relatively large resin glands. I think she’s going to be quite potent. 🚿 WATER/FEED: I have continued with a light bi-diurnal misting of White Dutch Clover cover crop. I typically give the whole SOG one feed per week with light watering of select individual cultivars as needed between feeds. I try my best to "read" my garden. The amount of water between feeds depends on how soon the next feed will be. I feed the garden as a whole and try to spot-treat outliers as needed. This run, I have been generally spacing feeds out about 4-6 days when the first plant shows beginning signs of wilt (slight drooping of lower fan leaves). 📝 OBSERVATION/NOTES: She does not appear to have any signs of deficiency or toxicity. No indications of stress, disease, or pests. THIS WEEK'S BREAK DOWN •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 11/4 - Day 87/Day 35 of Bloom °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° 📸 PHOTOSHOOT 📸 🚿 FEED DAY 🚿 The cultivar received approximately 1 gallon of solution. I mixed 17 gallons of solution for 17 plants. The solution is applied via wand sprayer powered by a submersible pump attached to a garden hose. Nutrients and additives are added to the reservoir in the order listed below and thoroughly mixed using a large plastic stir spoon. The reservoir is oxygenated by four 4-inch air stones. 👩‍🔬NUTRIENT SOLUTION👩‍🔬 ⬇️Mixing Rundown⬇️ The solution starts with 17-gallons of tap H2O through two KDF filters mixed in a 36-gallon reservoir.

The pump sprayer is typically used in early veg, between feeds, or for lighter feeds. Most feeds are usually run through the pump and reservoir because it's faster and easier when dealing with larger volume feeds. – 2 GALLON LAWN & GARDEN PUMP PRESURE SPRAYER. * I removed the spray head due to clogs and it's just faster. – Superior Pump 91250 Utility Pump, 1/4 HP in a heavy duty 27-gallon Tote attached to a 10 foot garden hose to an Orbit Underground 56246 Green Thumb 9-Pattern Telescoping Wand. – Aeration of the reservoir is accomplished using a General Hydroponics HGC728040 Dual Diaphragm Air Pump 320 GPH 4 Outlet attached with standard aquarium air hose to four 4-Inch Air Stone Disc Bubble Diffusers. • VEG/AUTOFLOWER LIGHTING: 320w Monster-Board V4-PLUS powered by a MEANWELL 320H-48AB DRIVER.

Each board contains two hundred fifty-two 3000k lm301h diodes + twelve Osram 660nm diodes plus 4 separately switchable LG UV 395nm diodes and 4 separately switchable Osram IR 730nm diodes. • BLOOM LIGHTING: Two custom mounted lighting units: Each mount has one 480w MEANWELL 480H-48B driver and one 240w MEANWELL 240H-48AB powering 6 King-Bright Quantum Boards. Each board contains two hundred fifty-two 3500k lm301h diodes + twelve CREE XP-E2 660nm diodes plus four separately switchable CREE XP-E2 730nm diodes and four LG UV 395nm diodes. Hanging between the two mounts are two additional quantum boards with two hundred fifty two 3000k lm301h diodes + twelve 660nm diodes plus four constant power 730nm IR diodes and four 395nm UV diodes.
