Barneys Farm Wedding Cake Auto

Well here we go into Week Three of Veg! 👏😎 With three weeks of initial growth behind her now, the Barneys Farm Wedding Cake Auto is doing great and sprouting new growth everyday. Her growth is really starting to explode!. Thank you for following along this journey with me, growing these beautiful cultivars is always better with someone to share the experience with....come along and enjoy! 😎🙏 ~Grown 100% organic in a 10g fabric pot with Mother Earth 70/30 Coco/Perlite medium amended with 2tbs/g Down To Earth 4-4-4 / 2 cups/g Earthworm Castings / 1tbs/g Dr. Earth Flower Girl 2-8-4 and 1tbs/g Dr. Earth Bat Guano. ~24hr light cycle during germination / 19/5 light cycle for Veg & Flower ~Straight water ph'd @ 6.2-6.8 when needed, top dressed every 3-4 weeks and weekly Compost Tea's. 3/15- Week Three of veg....now things will get interesting fast now that she has settled down from whatever was pissing her off in the beginning her vigor and overall health have gone from so-so to very good! I've topped her once and she's under LST keeping her spread out to allow all those side branches to reach up to the HLG 650R and make BIG cola's! She continues to receive nightly foliar feeding with Fox Farms Flower Kiss mixed @ 5ml/g and applied just before the 5 hour dark period. Daily watering's continue with de-chlorinated water to which I'm now alternating adding 5ml/g of Fox Farms Wholly Mackerel to for a feed and then switching to Fox Farms Microbe Brew @ 5ml/g and Fox Farms Big Bloom (OMRI organic) @ 10ml/g then each is ph'd to 6.4-6.6 @ 72deg. with a 0.4 EC 350-400ppm. I'll be top dressing her later this week with her first organic dry amendments. I'll be giving her a 60/40 mix of 4-4-4 and 3-9-4 @ 2 tbsp. per gallon of medium worked in by hand, then watered in. This should really give her a much needed boost for her upcoming pre-flower stretch! I removed the pot riser from her and when I water I soak the pot thoroughly, but not to the point of runoff. Twice a week when I water I add water to the tray under the pot to let her draw up the liquid into her pot to ensure that the medium is moist throughout for her roots to grow into! 3/17- The Wedding Cake Auto received a heavy watering yesterday in two portions. First, at the start of the light cycle, I gave her .5 gallon of de-chlorinated water with 5ml/g Botanicare CalMag+ and 5ml/g Botanicare Silica Blast added, then ph'd to 6.5 @72 degrees using Alchemist PH Down to make the adjustment. This watering was given through the bottom of her pot by filling the drip pan and letting the fabric pot draw up the liquid into it, giving the medium in the lower half of the pot some much needed moisture for the growing root systems. The second watering at mid-day was given through the top of the pot via pump sprayer which was filled with the identical solution used to water earlier, she received .25g. Foliar feedings continue 4-5 nights a week and I can see a noticeable improvement in her overall appearance as a result of the foliar feedings. I have the HLG 650R cranked up to 400w at the wall now and still hung @ 40" above canopy which resulted in the tent temp's rising slightly requiring the IdealAir AC unit's thermostat to be lowered to compensate. I have the AC Infinity Cloudline T6 fan with Controller set on 'Auto Hi Temp' with it set to 79 degrees. It's been doing fantastic, adjusting the fans speed automatically, keeping tent temperatures no higher than 80.1 degrees with a RH of 55%. The AutoPilot co2 Controller is now set to a 900ppm setpoint, with a 100ppm window setpoint which has the co2 levels running 800-1000ppm's in the Gorilla 4x8. At this point I'm just maintaining her water and training daily, watching her rapid growth and anxiously awaiting signs of pre-flower which I hope will not be too soon allowing her to gain size which appears to not be an issue as she's already getting huge!... How much FUN this is! 😍 3/19- She's continuing her phenomenal growth rate and has such a perfect structure (Thank you Barneys Farm Genetics!), Picture perfect! Tons of new growth, tight node spacing and thick branches are going to make for an exceptional example of this exciting cultivar once she's done! Daily watering's continue with de-chlorinated water to which I'm now alternating adding 5ml/g of Fox Farms Wholly Mackerel to for a feed along with Fox Farms Kelp Me Kelp You @ 0.25tsp per gallon then is ph'd to 6.4-6.6 @ 72deg. with a 0.4 EC 350-400ppm. Her nightly foliar feedings with Fox Farms Flower Kiss mixed @ 5ml/g continue and are applied just before the 5 hour dark period. 3/21- I decided to go ahead and top dress my girl with organic dry amendments today. I used Dr. Earth Premium 4-4-4 and Dr. Earth Flower Girl 3-9-4 @ 2 tbsp. per gallon of medium, with a ratio of 43%/57% respectively, which I spread around in her pot and then worked it into the top layer of medium by hand. After working it in, I watered it in thoroughly with .75g of de-chlorinated water with 5ml/g of Fox Farms Microbe Brew added to further inoculate the medium with beneficial bacteria and mycorrhiza which should really give a boost to my lady as she gets ready to go into pre-flower. Well here we go with Week Three of veg behind us and now there's nothing but excitement from here on out!. Thank you so much for following along so far! I hope you'll continue to follow my journey as things will be getting more exciting as the next weeks approach with the girls starting pre-flower... Grow Strong! 😎🙏
