Grow Diary
Weeks 1 & 2: Vegetation
Wedding Cake Autoflower came out of the coco coir with a soft but strong will. The Spider Farmer SF2000 provided a gentle, controlled warmth that helped the young seedlings quickly adapt. They opened their delicate first leaves and set down strong roots. The temperature stayed around 25 °C and the humidity stayed around 60%, which helped the plants grow quickly. At this point, nutrients were added carefully so that they would only help the young plants grow healthy and strong without overwhelming them.
Weeks 3 & 4: Vegetation
As Wedding Cake Auto started her third week, her true self began to show. Her strong and steady vigor and resilience showed in the way her lush green leaves spread out. Carefully planned feeding schedules that mixed nutrients from Canna, Plagron, and Advanced Nutrients made the branches noticeably thicker. To make sure the structure was strong and the canopy was even, gentle Low-Stress Training (LST) was used to carefully bend and guide the branches to make the best bud sites for the future. Wedding Cake clearly showed her appreciation by responding to the LST with more branches and bright leaves.
Weeks 5 & 6: Flowering Begins in Earnest
As it entered the flowering stage, Wedding Cake Auto made a smooth transition, creating early flower clusters that quickly turned into promising buds. The grow tent quickly filled with a sweet, pleasant smell that was subtle but clearly reminded me of vanilla and freshly baked goods. Nutrients changed to bloom-specific formulas that were high in phosphorus and potassium to help the growing flower clusters. During this time, it was especially important to keep an eye on the temperature and humidity because Wedding Cake's thick buds were starting to grow in their usual way.
Weeks 7 & 8: Flowering
Wedding Cake Autoflower showed why she is a favorite among growers as the grow neared its peak bloom. The buds grew impressively, making thick, resin-covered structures that shone under the LED lights. The smells got stronger, and the room was filled with mouth-watering notes of sweet vanilla cake and hints of earthy spices. The resin glands grew in number, making the bud surfaces look shiny and crystal-like. To avoid mold, the humidity was kept at about 50%, which was important for the tightly packed colas to grow in a healthy and safe way.
Weeks 9 & 10: Late Flowering and Final Flush
The last two weeks showed Wedding Cake's full potential. Buds kept getting thicker and stickier, and they smelled amazing. The colors changed slightly, with hints of lavender and pale pink appearing among the lush greens. During these weeks, the plants went through a careful flushing process in which they were given plain, pH-balanced water so that they could use up nutrients they had stored. This important step made the smoke smoother and brought out the natural flavors more.
Harvest & Post-Harvest Reflections
It was harvest day, and the bounty was beautiful to look at and smelled great. Trimming Wedding Cake Auto was a fragrant treat. The resinous buds let out smells that were like rich vanilla cake with earthy undertones. There were a lot of buds, and they were all thick, frosty, and perfectly shaped.
After the harvest, the buds were slowly dried and cured over the course of several weeks. This careful curing process changed the flavors and strength, bringing out a rich complexity and making it smoother. After that, every jar that was opened smelled great, and the flavors were exactly what Wedding Cake is known for: sweet, creamy, and a little earthy, with hints of vanilla throughout.
