Barney's Blueberry OG

Just put rooted clones into solo cups while I finish setting up the grow room around it.

Clones took down roots and all recovered well except for one. Still working on the grow room around it. I may move them over to final pots by the end of the week if everything goes as planned. I have back up clones waiting in case the one doesn't jump back this week. Raised room temperature slightly and lowered RH to be in line with VPD now that they have the roots to take in the needed moisture.

Finished up the room and put them all in final pots. 400 PPFD across the canopy and I got some good veg in before the last transplant with one runt staying small. Looking forward to some real veg time so I can get them topped, get the other half of the mono crop in its own tray for auto watering and start filling the canopy.

First full week in veg. 1 runt lagging behind but others are topped at 14 inches. Will probably move half to the other tray this week and get them under a trellis net. Time to get auto watering dialed in.

PPFD is at 550-650 across the canopy. Much like the mono crop sister's, LSD, these are going as planned even though I was late getting the trellis net up due to me building things as the grow was going along. Very leggy side branches allowed me to only keep 6 of the clones. I could have gone more but I am expecting the OG stretch and need to keep these girls tamed under the trellis. Just like the sister crop I am just filling out the canopy before the flip which could come at anytime either side needs to flip. Got some defoliation in as well as a good lollipopping but I will be taking more off after the stretch. I see stuff that just isn't going to make it looking at the pictures as I posted them. Had to do a bit of super cropping to get her legs to lay out under the trellis for me. They are in great health so a little pinch and they were laying out for me on command. Same as the sister crop. It could be day 0 of flower or I may get another week of veg to fill out the canopy even though its filled in nicely. A little recovery from the super cropping is never a bad idea but they all took it well and I honestly don't see a problem if I did flip tonight.

Well I made it 3 more days before flipping them all. Canopy was filled and it was time. Collage over the end of veg through some of flower showing heights. It's growing between 1 and 1.5 inches daily and not for lack of light. It is under 800 PPFD and growing into the light and loving it. Side branching on these girls is nothing short of awesome. Lower branches are right up with the upper branches. BBOG is as I thought would be, stretching just a bit more than the sister crop LSD. Should have the second trellis before next week but everything is going along as it should be before we get to the controversial week of leaf stripping. I will be told I am screwing up my grow! But its ok.

Week went as expected. Still stretching, 12 inches over the week. Still raising lights daily and keeping the PPFD in the 800-850 range and I am only pulling 450 watts on each side. Gotta love these Samsung strip lights. Leaf strip soon but I shouldn't need to go crazy. Canopy is very well spread out and there is plenty of photons and airflow, but I will make it a bit better. Last picture is of the two side by side, the LSD started stretching a bit later and has actually passed the BBOG in heights. Still have room above to raise lights as needed but they should be mostly done. Nothing wrong so nothing to write about except the facts. Should start getting some nice hairy bud pictures as the node stacking gets closer. Not much for smell though I don't run any filters and I am just so used to it that I won't smell much until they start really producing. BBOG made for a really nice uniform canopy. Took some cuts before the flip and I hope the smoke is good.

Leaf strip complete and it has filled back in nicely. Stretch is completed at 50 inches and it's time to sit back and watch the fans get frosty and the buds get bigger. Sorry I have nothing to add. Pictures tell the story.

Did a little super cropping to the mains that were jumping well above the rest. Stems recovered after a couple of days. 900-950 PPFD across the canopy. Nice resin rails getting thicker as the week went on. Just keeping up on getting those sucker buds off that pop up on the lower canopy and letting them do their thing.

Putting on the weight here past the halfway point of flower. IR side by side shows the change in a week of growth pretty well. BBOG is showing me her faster flowering time looking at the 10 day slower LSD tray next to them. LSD is just a mirror of what BBOG was the prior week though I believe the yields on the LSD will be better. Time will only tell on that one since they are supposed to yield very closely together. Some of the smaller stems are starting to lean toward the sides. I will probably have to give some extra support to some of these in the future as the colas grow. As with the sister crop of LSD, I really should have added a third trellis net and given them a little more attention in veg. I will just push on and adapt as I go. Something everyone out there faces from time to time.

Quick update. Everything is leaning hard now. Probably won't tie anything up unless it is laying on others. Calcium deficiency hit the BBOG harder than the LSD tray. Making sure it has recovered before snipping the affected fans. Stay safe out there.

I am a day early but I am in the flower room and figured I would go ahead and update. The girls are still pushing along. Sweet smell, very sweet with a bit of berry at this stage. Branches have been leaning for awhile now, but I came into a room with a couple bent over but luckily not broken. Who am I kidding... I would have done a quick dry and enjoyed an early taste. Week 7 is done at lights out and I will be 1 week from the early side of Barney's flowering window. I will be checking trichomes regularly from here on out looking for the signal that these girls are done. I am uploading a quick video. I hope it turns out as good as it looks on my phone.. You know that you want to click that like button.. 😇 Edit: Been dropping night time temps and the dark colors are coming out. More so in the lowers but the tops are coming along.

Dropped night temperatures constantly and they have some nice colors coming out. Trichomes are still mostly clear so I am still just waiting for them to finish up. Little bit of foxtailing on the top colas but they are frosty so I won't complain.

It's the end. I will harvest in the next couple of days. I had to harvest 1 early because it decided to yellow out during the flush way to fast. It hit my sugar leaves and down she came before she could do anything worse. Night time temps have been below 65 for awhile and I got some great coloring on the buds and sugar leaves but it hasn't hit my fans. Still will make for great bag appeal regardless. Smell is very sweet. I honestly can't get past the candy smell to get to notice anything else in the flower room but the blueberry is really showing on this cut. Adding another 4x4 tray to the room this weekend to time it to get the next round in here. I guess this is the last update before the harvest. Stay safe.

I will update once it has dried. It's going to have great bag appeal and harvested on day 65 of the Barney's 55-65 window. They were ready to come down. It is dried but in a storage bin for now. With everything going on I only had time to trim up enough to try it out. Very frosty but giving it a little cure time before I try it. Should be a great yield.
