So here we go with this experiment of a new strain from barneys farm. I am stoked to be back into their genetics again and will be running a couple more in coco alongside (Blue Gelato 41, Phantom Og , Cookie Kush , Orange sherbet). I have been desperate to get going on another run of their genetics and here we have it. The plan is to top , lst them to a quad manifold , grow them outward and bushy before a major defol after the stretch has done. I have chosen coco as it is now getting hotter here in the UK so didnt want to battle the heat in the dwcr throughout the grow. I love coco for its forgiveness and ability to restart from flushed if needed. I am also trying out some of the SUMO nutrients line up for flowering and finish after reading great reviews. Still going with Golden Tree and gh trio with occasional superthrive tickles too. I am expecting great things from tjese monkeys and know they wont let me down ( Wish i could get an L.E.D sponsor for lights but keep hitting brick walls.lol) .I have 2x enhanced 600w hps for the flowering period specifically and and will be using 1 600w MH for the initial vegging period ( may go to second 600 of they demand it.
As i am doing multiple barneys strains but never get to enter diary of month ect... i am journaling each strain individually. This initial post is for ALL the girls that i germinated from the first picture( 100% success within 3 days of planting dry into sponges) I am using this update to begin them all off as the start up has been the same for all the little ones.
I dropped the seeds in, impatient me as i am, wanted to grow them since they arrived and never considered how close to our family vacation for 10 days i was!. I had to make emergency coco survival pods that can wick water !!!!. problem solved and they seem to have given me a break. So from here on in they will get their own updates. climb aboard for the ride , any comments greatly recieved and appreciated. Welcome to the apery , please don't put your fingers in the cages , they can bite !!
@Silky_smooth, why thankyou ma'am. lol am so close to the end now. Gd needs a more regular option for updates. so much can change in a week. They are glistening now and trichs are starting to cloud. only got 6 days left so should be bang on time of 56-63 days. rock solid buds too. Always a pleasure Silky
@Ganjagrandaddy,yeah i dont mean no Harm but the gorilla glue #4 by anesia seeds they come pretty close to the original one and she is a strong one she only in very late flower(quad-main-or flux set up) needs Some support because when you train your branches automaticly are stronger to support the weight by themselfs
Since i train i almost never have to use support except for the last one(it was a behind the sences grow) future #1 by anesia seeds that really rocked my world 2 weeks of veg and she gave me close to 190gram of dryed herb under a 120w quantumboard i had 3 trained and 1 untrained under it and pulled 386 grams of herb out of it so more then worth it😱😱🙏🙏
@Silky_smooth,Why thank you madam. lol. very nice comment much appreciated Silky. I love the original Gorilla Glue which we only saw occasionally here in the uk. Had to try this Barneys version . They are great to grow if not a bit floppy with their thin secondaries. i hoped the quadlines would encourage them to support themselves better than "au natural" seems to. See so many gorilla varieties with similar issues of looking like "marionette" Cannabis shows.lol Will
e ruining their look with supports soon.lol
Always a pleasure Smooth
@Silky_smooth, Thank you. I am happy with the results they have shown from pushing them for longer. The ripeness of them compared to any of the past 5 years grows is obvious. i usually scope them for.amber trichs then harvest but decided different this time and it paid off i think.The 2 i harvested already are very nice to smoke so i expect these will be headbangers with more time to amber the inner bud too.
I am very happy to see the way you record and describe your videos. Moreover, you grow the same strain as mine and you are in advance of a couple of weeks, which is really helpful as it is my first grow. Thank you for sharing these pics and videos of your flowers, they are very nice and beautiful. Congrats
@Hasard,Wow thank you buddy. very nice of you to say.
I will come and join the fun too. Do love this strain to grow now and will be coming back to it again in the future. You may need to consider support canes before you actually need to do them. The buds get very dense and heavy towards the end and will fall over at some point. to avoid damage to the stems i would support them earlier next time.
It does seem to depend in which Phenotype of the strain you get as well. i seem to have 2 different ones at opposite ends of the scale.lol
good luck. will see you at your journal.
@GrowDutch, i am hoping to get a personal best. The no1 is a beasty and has been from seed stage. hoping they wont do the flop when they get heavier. dont like yo-yo's much.lol fingers crossed. thanks for the comments mate
@Cultus, welcome aboard mate. Have a feeling this could be my best harvest to date with how well the quadlines have all formed. Once those colas start building , should hold some nice weight. cannot wait to finish the stretch now though , need to defol again badly .lol. Update tomorrow yeeha. Thanks for the company mate. started seeing tumbleweed building up. lol
