Barney's Farm Cali Selection 2023/2024

First week done . All growing well 2 are slightly behind. Will pick the best 9 to plant up next week. 🌱🌱

Potted up on day 14 in their final 7.5 litres. Will VEG for another few weeks then flip them 🌱👍

Decent growth this week. They are still adjusting to their new pots and substrate . Will accelerate once I have a fed them a couple more times. Topped them all and they have recovered well. Gave a couple foliar feeds with rhizo for stress. Have 2 spare plants in cups which are too good to get rid of, so I might pot them up to some 3 litres and squeeze them in. The fun should begin now as we transition into VEG. Will aim to flip to flower in about 3 weeks . Ppfd : 410 DLI : 26.5

Recovered well after the topping. Decided to plant up my 2 spare seedlings to 4litre pots . The tent will be packed out in 2 weeks . Aim to switch to flower around new year's Day. This should be my biggest challenge yet so will train each plant to a higher standard. Really happy with the genetics so far.

Lots of growth this week . Have trained and defoliated where needed to create a well spread canopy . Will give them another week then switch to 12/12 🌱👌👍

Continued to defoliate and tie down. Canopy is well spread now. Will give them another day to recover from the training and then switch to 12/12. 🌱✌️

Busy week as we transition to flower. I decided to get rid of a gelato plant as it wasn't as strong as the rest. It's freed up some more space to work with which has helped. As you can see I've been working on the canopy been evening up the plant height . Some stretch more than others. Defoliated a few leaves where needed . Will give them a good strip and lollipop in a week or so. Light is on max 300watts now. Canopy at around 600 ppfd. I may add some extra light in a week or 2 once they are in full flower. A few hairs are appearing I expect a couple weeks of stretch now then onto the buds ! ✌️🌱

They've been stretching this week and some of them are quite big for 7litre pots. Biscotti and Runtz have grown a lot. Did a fair bit of defoliation so that's why they're taking a bit of time. But the buds are starting to form now. I defoliated midway through the week as the canopy was getting quite dense. One thing I have noticed with the new light is with the added infrared spectrum the leaves grow larger, which increases photosynthesis. It requires a bit more work but has a positive effect on growth. Should be another week of stretch and then we are cooking. Happy with the canopy very strong genetics. Happy with the AC infinity light so far. 310watts is not enough though for flower, as I like to have my lights a bit further away for a better spread. So have added some Samsung boards(3000k) above it , running at 170 watts. So in total running 480 watts . Will even up the canopy some more once they're done stretching. Ppfd : 700 pH 5.5 in 6.4 out. Humidty 55 DLI 30.2 VPD : day 1.4 night 1.0

Stretch is nearly complete . I didn't expect them to fill out the tent so much if I'm honest. Nearly at the max height I usually like . But these genetics are so good I can't complain. Canopy is really coming together now. Going to taper down the nitrogen now as they are now starting to switch to buds. One of the gelatos is a monster it won't stop growing, may have to super crop it. Will start some pk next week at a low dose. Ppfd 750 DLI 32.4 EC in : 1.8 Run off : 2.0 (a little high , going to reduce a and b slightly ) pH in 5.5 Run off : 6.2

Unfortunately found a Hermie. It was a 'girl' scout cookies growing balls so had to get rid of it. I then sprayed down the plants a few times with water over a couple of days just incase. I think I caught it early enough so I'm hoping the rest are ok . They are growing well and look good . There's been a massive stretch from these but they are finally switching to buds. I suspect it's the light as it doesn't have much blue in the spectrum. But its ok as the extra red will do me well in flower now stretch is over. Continued to defoliate where needed and I have just given them a final lollipop. Canopy is about as even as I can get it . Started to add a low dose of pk 13/14 as the buds form. Reduced a and b slightly. Ppfd : 780 DLI : 33.7 PH in 5.8 run off : 6.1 EC in 1.7 Run off 1.9

Stretch is now complete. Have started to reduce a and b as they mature and introduced some PK. Everything was going well this week but found a nana on a lower branch of one of my small plants in a 4 litre. Was only on one small branch rest of the plant was fine. I figured I couldn't risk it being in the tent so I removed it sadly. It was a very nice looking plant too . Sprayed the plants down with water and prayed to the weed gods that it hasn't effected any of the other plants . Pistols are still white which is a good sign. Just need to keep the feeding on point now and they should finish well. I reduced the light slightly too as don't want any stress. Ppfd 750 DLI 33 pH in 6.0 run off 6.1 EC in 1.6 run off 1.7

Decent growth this week, the runtz and the biscotti look about the best. I think I may have root bound one of them, I didn't expect such explosive growth during the stretch fase. They basically tripled in size. I'm still getting used to the AC infinity light. Will see how they do over the next week I may do a 2 part harvest as they are quite tall. One of the girl scouts looks ready soon I think 2 weeks so will give that a flush next week. Have been increasing the pk this week will taper it off soon. Ppfd : 720 pH in 6.0 run off 6.1 EC in 1.6 run off 1.7

Buds have continued to build and ripen. Looks like 1 girl scout cookies and a 1 runtz that has a mutation will be done first I have started flushing them . Will chop them down sometime this week. The rest still have 2 to 3 weeks left I think , just giving them a low feed at 1.2 EC. Turned the light down a bit also as they ripen up over the next few weeks. It's not going to be my biggest yield as I probably vegged them a bit too long. They are only in 7 litre pots lol.but they are quite tall and the buds look nice quality. Decided to chop a few tops of the girl scout cookies as I need smoke lol. Will let the lower buds ripen some more. See last pic. Will update one more week then after that will be the harvest results 😊🌱 Ppfd : 690 pH in 5.9 run off 6.3

Been flushing most of them this week. Also chopped a girl scout cookies at the start of the week. Nugs are nearly white they're covered with trichomes. Had a sample of the GSC once it was dried and wow what a wonderful smoke. Will update soon with harvest's results . Also about to chop a runtz that has finished early. It has a leaf mutation and smaller buds BUT it has the best trichome production in the tent. A biscotti pheno will be chopped a couple days after that. The rest of them still have a week or 2 to go. Reduced my light back down now as they ripen . Ppfd 600. pH in 6.0 (just water )
