Hello everyone. ๐
Rolling into the fourth week saw all the plants get topped/fimmed, as an observation I'd definitely say this strain is leaning more toward being quite Indica heavy, the traits of it are obvious. Big beefy fan leafs, short stocky plants with small gaps between nodes. On this occasion I'm actually quite happy as I'm limited for height, however if I wasn't under such constraints I'd probably want them to be a bit leaning a bit more on the sativa side.
Repotted up to final pots of 10L. In terms of feed it been raised to 30ml of A/B (per 10L), up from 20ml from week three along with a splash (10ml) of Rhizo. I will now be running 30ml of A/B all the way through veg to the end of flower finishing with a 7 day flush of plain water. I imagine I'll taper the Rhizo out by the end of veg, the roots are already poking out the final pot size (of 10L) so I'm happy the roots system is strong.
They look like they've almost completely recovered from being topped/fimmed so will give them a few more days and top/fim once more. The goal is to fill the 2M x 1.2M floor space with the 10 plants whilst keeping height to a minimum. I predict by the end of week 5, possibly 6 that they will be ready to flip to flower. That's all for now, so until next time, happy smoking everyone! B00ST. ๐
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
