So it's been a few days since the top got chopped and my Wedding Cake by Barney's Farm is doing good. Just been giving her plain water since transplant. Once the lower nodes reach the edge of the current pot in a week or so I'll do one last transfer into a 5 gal for the final weeks of veg and scrog.

Increased power to 75 and raised the MarsHydro TS-1000 a few inches to encourage a bit of stretch.

Also in the tent still are my other autoflowers kicking ass. Cheech Biggums here from NightOwl Seeds is the same age as the Wedding Cake, just 23 days and she's spoldin'!

Although we had a slight accident...oops.

She's doing ok though.

Also starting to take off is Purple Scoops from RocBudInc. Happy as can be. Day17 for her.

Also have my auto solo cup Toofless Alien. Doing ok but let her dry out too much earlier in the week and she's been a little sad and slow to recover. Hopefully haven't slowed her down too badly...

So it's been a couple weeks since the last transplant and my girl is ready for her final pot up. I've got a big 20 gal fabric pot that we'll use, lots of room to grow big root mass and nutes to feed from and room to top dress.

This is the super soil I mixed about a month ago now all cooked and ready to go. Added a bit of ewc and gaia green general to the pot.

Decent rootball for just a couple weeks out of the solo cup.

And into her new home.

Got nice symmetrical growth, 8 solid branches that I'll grow out and weave into a scrog.

Been a little while since the last update. We've had some good growth under the Marshydro and since put up the scrog net and begun the process of weaving the branches. Another 2-3 weeks of filling the screen and we'll be ready to flip.
I also gave her a top dressing of gaia green 4-4-4 and started grow a some cover crop, some clover to help keep the soil charged. little late I know.

We're still plugging away slowly here. All is good and happy. If anything we're getting too much stalk growth and not enough stretch, but another week or two and I think well be ready to flip.

The scrog is a bit of a mess and haven't quite filled out the net entirely but decided to flip to 12/12. branches are getting thick and harder to LST and weave through the net, and I'm getting impatient. Will inch power up to 100 as she starts to stretch.

Quick question as there are lot's of people here with the ts1000 - I bought mine last month but the driver looks completely different... so is my light a genuine or a knockoff? I bought it from Lazada (Thailand). Thanks (and sorry for hijacking!)
