Barneys Seeds DWC Hydro

stoney2k The first week after germination was still a selection phase. None of the Buddha Seeds germinated, only one of the Black Cherry Gusher was worth continuing to grow, and none of the Bubble Gum Gelato germinated, which was a bit disappointing. The ladies received about 250 ppfd, and I only offered a light nutrient solution of 140 ppm.

stoney2k The selection is complete. We are breeding 2x Lemon Cherry Gelato, 1x Black Cherry Gusher, and 1x Zupreme Lime from Monkey Genetics. The plants are now getting 300 PPFD and are in a 200 PPM nutrient solution.

stoney2k I'm in the third week and the ladies are starting to show their character. The two Lemon Cherry Gelato are happy with about 250 ppm and are growing fast and healthy. The Black Cherry Gusher wasn't quite as happy with 240 ppm, so I set her to 250 ppm. The Zupreme Lime is currently the one that wanted quite a bit of Cal Mag, she had already developed some rust-colored spots. She's running at 258 ppm now and looks more satisfied. I might have to do the first topping next week, the fourth nodes are already coming in. The lights are currently set so that the ladies are getting about 340 PPFD.

stoney2k I topped all the plants this week. I also started with LST training. The light is now at 400 PPFD, and I had to raise the nutrients to 300 ppm over the week. The smaller Lemon Cherry is only at 270 ppm. I've managed the Cal Mag deficiency with the Zupreme Lime so far.
