First time doing Barney's Farm so lets hope they provide wonderful results! ๐ First diary on the site as well so lets see what this is all about. I must say I'm fairly impressed with all the tools that allow you to effortless keep track of everything! Well done "GrowDiaries" admin. ๐ As a bit of background info I will be using Canna Coco and nutrients throughout this grow. The seedlings start under a 96W T5, then up to a 315W CMH, eventually up to 630W and finally 945W at the beginning of flowering through to the finish.
Firstly the 10 seedlings were started in a glass of tepid water for 24 hours. Once soaked for 24 hours, they were moved into damp paper towel for a further 24 hours and placed between two plates. After around 24 hours, 5 of 10 seeds were showing visible tap roots.
I then laid around half an inch of perlite into a prop and then drizzled 500-750ml of the feed into the perlite in the bottom of the prop (1ml A, 1ml B, 3ml Rhizo per L of feed). I then filled small 1.5" peat pots with Canna Coco and misted the coco with the feed until damp but not soaked. The seeds then went in around 1.5-2.5cm deep and are lightly covered with coco. Into the prop they went on top of the perlite.
Within a couple more days every single plant had popped, with a 100% germination rate. A good start to the diary, well done Barney's Farm. ๐ They continue to sit under a MaxiBright T5 6500K 2 foot 4 tube 96W light unit and will do so until a 3rd separate layer of leafs are showing. They will then go under a Philips 315W MasterColour 942 CMH for vegging.

This strain is no doubt Sativa heavy, cross of Strawberry cough is known to keep people awake. Iโm creating a monster of a female. Your garden looks epic!
@Excalibur, Not tried growing any of Barney's things before, this is my first grow with them as a breeder - but I've always found most of their smoke on offer in Amsterdam fairly enjoyable so thought I'd give it a shot! Everythings dialed in pretty well at the moment so we'll have to wait and see what the final product is like! ๐ Enjoy the ride!
How many different phenos have you noticed? I have one which is really dense, and another that is thinner but twice the trichome coverage and intense lemon citrus smell! Looking good ๐๐๐๐
@Trichoterpz, I haven't pulled them out and inspected individually but I'd say they're all pretty damn similar. Due to them being cramped right in if I try remove one for inspection branches will snap from being over weight with nugs at this point. They support each other you see. Normally with more space I'd bamboo cane them all but in these circumstances it isn't possible now. ๐
Your canopy will be directly up in your lights by the end of week 10 lol the tent is packed ;) They look extremely healthy - can't wait to try this strain.
@GreenHouseLab, heh, time shall tell but I usually "pack out" the tent because I worry I haven't vegged them for long enough! ๐ Thanks they are certainly looking good! I'm also keen to see the finished product and will do a nice write up toward the end for everyone. ๐
@Cultus, cheers mate, a little bit of topping and basic feed combined with decent lighting seems to do wonders these days! "Keep it simple" is my motto and it seems to work for me. ๐
