Barneys Farm Wedding Cake Auto

Well here we go into Week Four of Veg! 👏😎 With four weeks of initial growth behind her now, the Barneys Farm Wedding Cake Auto is doing great and sprouting new growth everyday. Her growth continues to explode and she's turned out to be the biggest 4 week old so far!. 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. 3/22- Well Week Four of veg is here and the Barneys Farm Wedding Cake Auto just keeps chugging along. She's not showing any signs of pre-flower yet which means she's going to get big. I'm thankful that I decided to top dress her yesterday as the dry amendments are slow release which will start providing nutrients right at the time when she'll need them the most! Her color and vigor remain on point and she's got some huge shade leaves for a 4 week old. She'll need them to absorb all that HLG 650R love coming from above! I've also been checking leaf temp's with a laser and they're running around 74-76 degrees F. After the heavy watering in of her top dress yesterday her pot was still HEAVY so I'm not watering today to give her pot an opportunity to dry out some as the last thing I want is her to have 'wet feet' which will lead to root rot and an anaerobic condition in the medium...no bueno! The Gorilla 4x8 temp's are running in the mid 70's during the light cycle and drop to the upper 60's when the HLG 650R (which is pulling 400w at the wall now) is off. RH is currently at 50-55% to try and keep the VPD numbers in a decent range. 3/24- I'm spending most of my time with her now gently training her branches using Engineering Essentials Training Clips (which work FANTASTIC!), stressing her a little as possible, and watering as she's into Pre-flower and more or less on auto-pilot. I checked the moisture level of her pot this morning, it was moist in the upper 2/3 but dry in the bottom. I watered her from the bottom giving her 0.5g of de-chlorinated water with 0.25ml/g of Fox Farms Microbe Brew which was ph'd to 6.5 @ 72 degrees F with a 0.4 EC 200ppm pouring it into her drip tray letting the pot draw in the water it needs, which it did in about 5 minutes. She's coming along better now and obviously was not adversely affected by her slow start as she's a monster in the making now!. Her color continues a dark, healthy green and she remains vigorous, constantly putting out new growth. 3/26- My girl continues to impress me by the day with new growth and really good looking color overall. I've plucked a few leaves here and there that were blocking light penetration and continue to gently coax her branches down twice daily to keep her as spread out as possible. She has entered pre-flower and will be stretching her ass off now so I'll be staying on top of everything, making sure water/nutrients/environment are all on point and remain there! Daily watering continues with 0.75g straight de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.5 @ 72 degrees 200ppm 0.4 EC given to her in the morning. Foliar feeding before lights out continues every other night with Fox Farms Flower Kiss @ 3ml/g. 3/28- So long Week 4! OMG...Forget anything bad I may have said about these Barneys Farm genetics. This Barneys Farm Wedding Cake Auto has turned into an absolutely phenomenal specimen with gorgeous color, structure and growth rate she'll be hard to beat! I'm BLOWN AWAY! My girl is in pre-flower and continues her vigorous growth rate, having completely recovered from her earlier issues. When I train her branches down the recovery time is phenomenal, looking like I never touched them 2 hours later! Daily watering continues with 0.75g straight de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.5 @ 72 degrees 200ppm 0.4 EC given to her first thing in the morning after the light comes on. Foliar feeding before lights out continues every other night. Her water intake has increased slightly and I've been dividing her watering up to twice daily, with the second watering 10 hours into the light cycle, to keep up with her needs. I spend the majority of my time 'tucking & plucking' leaves and making sure the environment stays as close to on point as possible for her. As I've said, I'm so impressed by how this cultivar has turned out that I will definitely have a spot in my future runs for Barneys Farm genetics, both autoflower AND photo's! 😍👍 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! 😎🙏
