The Wedding Cake Auto Comparative Grow by Ace71975

Strain : Wedding Cake Auto from @SeedsMan
Genetic Makeup : Girl Scout Cookies x Cherry Pie
Pot/Bucket Size : 4.8g Self watering planter
Tent Size : 4’ x 4’
How Many Plants : 2
Environment : Indoor
CO2: 1123ppm (varies between 856 and 1278 with these being the low and high thus far)
Medium : 50% Peat 25% Vermiculite 25% Perlite Dolomitic Lime 40g per cubic foot Gypsum 10 grams per cubic foot
Lights : 500 Watt LED 18 on 6 off
Nutrients : Fertilome Root Stimulator and plant starter solution, Megacrop 1 part, Lactic Acid Bacteria in a brown sugar solution, Fermented plant Juice,Home made vitamin supplement, Home made Cal-Mag Supplement.
Room/Tent Temperature : 73°
Relative Humidity : 60%
Media/Res PH : 5.8
Pests : None
Watering : As needed Nutes at every watering once I have 2 sets of true leaves starting at 1/8 strength and working up to full strength.

Two seeds were put to soak in a solution of 0.25% Humic Acid in Distilled water.Seeds will be transfered to a moist paper towel after 24 hours and kept on top of my PC case for warmth until sprouted, then planted Directly in the Final Container. They will be started with Root Stimulator fertlizer designed for starting seedlings, and will also be planted with Mycos once sprouted. In case anyone is curious about the additives other than Megacrop 1 part, I do a hybrid grow style that I refer to as Synthganic combining both organic and synthetic inputs.

Here are the two seeds I selected to soak, I selected the two largest seeds that were sent.

Watching. To be clear both plants will receive the same treatment?

Curious about the ingredients of these.
Thanks for sharing :+1:t6:

Yep both plants will get the same things and the same amounts, 1 gallon of nute solution will be split between the two plants on watering days.

The Fermented plant juice is Butterfly stone plants that were cut down along with weeds, and stored in a bucket for one month with alternating layers of plant matter and Dark Brown Sugar. the Home made Vitamin Solution is Cheap Multi Vitamins Dissolved in Vinegar to create Acetate versions of the minerals. the Homemade Cal-Mag Is Dried ground eggshells and Epsom Salt dissolved in Vinegar to create Calcium and Magnesium Acetate which is the most bioavaible version of those, it will also add some Sulfur acetate from the sulfur in the epsom salt.

And the fact that the vitamin and cal-mag are made with vinegar helps lower the pH of my hard water which comes out the tap at 7.8pH with a lot of Dissolved Calcium Carbonate. It comes up through limestone bedrock.

I thought early on that Thing 2 was going to outperform Thing 1, looks to be the other way around now in flowering. Looking really nice both of them.

Flowers are filling in nicely and the tricomes are coming in nicely on the sugar leaves.

Stem rub is NOT at all what I expected based on the name Wedding Cake, The smell is Funky,Skunky, and a sickly sweet Rotting fruit smell with back notes of Fuel.

Man look at all of those puffy white sticky pistils. Look like about the size of cotton balls with a ton of pistils. If mine pushes out that many pistils on a bottom branch or two I’ll dust it with some Bog Sour Bubble reversed pollen and make some Wedding Cake x Sour Bubble fem photo seeds.
