My First Indoor Grow: Wedding Cake By Barneys Farm

[Squisha T]

Setup:
- Mars Hydro Ts-2000
- Fox farms Ocean forest soil
- Plan to use Fox farms trio bottles during veg/flower

Just dropped these seedlings that I germinated two days ago into some fresh ocean forest soil. Misted them with a balance water ph of 6.49. Temperature is 77 degrees & 67% humidity. Running my Mars hydro light at about 70% strength about 30-35” from the solo cups. Will update you guys as soon as she sprouts about the soil.

Hi @Squisha T ! I am in love with every single one of Barney's Farm strains. There's so much potential yet to reveal itself here. May I offer and tiny piece of advice? I know unsolicited advice can come off condescending and arrogant.

I have a question guys! It says for seedlings to use 6tsp per gallon twice a week but i was wondering do I just do a proper watering wet/dry cycle because theres no way im going to be able to use a whole gallon of water for watering…but I wanted to try nutrients from the start if @Emilya Green said to follow the bottle im trying to get everything ready for when the seedlings fully pop. I have a small surprise so far..

I also made a humidity dome I leave over both of the solo cups to keep moisture in the soil/air for the plants.

 

[Emilya Green]

Plants in nature don't need humidity domes so don't make your plants weak by using one. You also should have filled those cups with soil. Did you put a hole or two in the bottom?

 

[Emilya Green]

Halve the dosage and just make half a gallon... seal it and shake it really good and the leftover will be good for 4 or 5 days

Okay I will remove them then. & I thought you should always fill your cups with soil with like a inch of room left. I think the pics are a little misleading I fillee them prettt high tryjnf to leave about an inch, may have left little extra tho :/ i have 4-5 holes on the bottoms of each

Hello my fellow legends! Little update on the Wedding Cake ! 1st original one is growing beautifully, had to drop in a new fresh one because one of the days I wasnt around in time to mist the seedling in the soil and ended up shriveling up. . Got a new one in the soil now starting to bust through. My journey begins NOW. I cannot wait to grow these with you all. Going to call it’s official Day 1 once I see their 4 main leaf’s .

 

[Squisha T]

Update: We are PUSHING!

 

[Squisha T]

I think it is safe to say I can call this as day 1 Now the question is whether I should follow the feeding schedule with the Fox Farms trio nutes. Any thoughts? Ive heard mixed replies from wait 2-3 weeks or right from the jump. Not going to call it day one for the other baby until she has 4 real leaves.

Looks good. I'm going to follow your grow.
I try to follow the "less is more" theory when they are babies. The only nutes i will give at this stage is cal/mag and silica in ph'd water sans chlorine etc.

 

[Squisha T]

I was looking into buying some Foxfarms Cal-Mag, how much would you use per water?

 

[mussh]

A couple drops. Just a little taste. I start to up the dose as they get bigger. I find that the soils i use do a lot of the feeding and i dont need to use "food" nutes until i flip to flower.

 

[mussh]

Maybe two - four drops per 16oz of water at this stage.

I use this chart also.....but when I'm not using a full gallon of water. I use conversion methods - which shows how to use smaller amounts of nukes
Hope this help

Babies are flying! The symmetry has been amazing to see with this Wedding cake.

 

[Squisha T]

Looking to water the babys tomorrow morning with about 1/8 cup of water / little less for the smaller one and a dash of fox farms big bloom. Cal-mag bottle should be here this week. Wanted to get the plants soil nice and dry before giving a fresh new water.

 

[Squisha T]

Fed the girls this morning & came home & noticed a small deficiency on the plant. Not really sure why… there is also some brownish parts on the tips of my bigger plan in the same tent. I’m wondering if it’s a lighting problem or something else..maybe a tad but too much water but I wouldn’t think a 1/4 cup should hurt too much. Let me know your guy’s thoughts! Much Love <3
