Super excited to test this strain out - my very first grow with Barney’s Farm. I am growing together with the legendary and original High CBD Avidekel strain developed in Israel and plan to make some interesting crosses (follow my other Diary)
This strain should be interesting. I am growing together with the legendary and original High CBD Avidekel strain developed in Israel by the man who discovered THC and CBD... I plan to make some interesting crosses (follow my other Diary)
She was Topped on Day 19, leaving 4 node locations. Branching is pretty weak prior to topping - but I expect that is going to change pretty quickly here 😃
Well, she mostly likes it indoors, but once in awhile I put her out in the sun. well, today it was a bad idea - the Poor little girl got absolutely NAILED by a hailstorm.... 😬 One of those intense hailstorms we often get here in Canada you just instinctively avoid walking out into... Soooo I waited it out until going outside. Luckily no shoots damaged, just a few holes in the leaves 😅. On one hand, it’s kind of nice to put them outdoors once in awhile - all the wind, sun occasional extreme weather and UV light is good for them... On the other hand, this was waaaaay too extreme.
next time, I’m going to pay closer attention to the forecast!
This pheno initially really pushes back at LST, but now she is becoming much more cooperative. It worked out to have 6 main stems, the top main 2 stems are being trained horizontally and my plan is to let the lower stems grow up to the same level as the 2 top branches before starting LST on them.
Ok - what an amazing plant!
Next week I’m switching to indoor - 12 hr flowering cycle. She’s so thick, lots of great bud sites and with LST in full play she can really spread her wings. I’ll probably repot to 30L next week to give her max potential
Oooooh Boy. I can’t wait for this - just drooling over the potential.... Shes 3 feet across by roughly 30 inches - almost 9 square feet at the start of flowering. I’ll continue some mild LST of the side branches this week, and will repot one last time to 30 litres.
Very excited to see that the Transition is happening... Also - the Smell is increasing quite a bit, my wife is constantly reminding me that our backyard has quite an aroma ;)
Smells amazing, looks amazing. Can’t wait.....
I started transition indoors, and had the grow shed all ready BUT every day has been so sunny, hot and perfect temps for growing outside, sooooo - She’s outside every day, Indoors at night. I am taking my family Camping on Monday, and our neighbours are gracious enough to take care of our small crop during the heat wave this week.
I gave them 3 days at 10 hours light / 14 dark, and now for our camping trip they will be full time outside - with a photoperiod of about 14 light / 10 dark. In the past, I have pushed flowering to 13.5 hours sun without and issues whatsoever on flowering once the plants have been fully transitioned - So - Im crossing my fingers and hope that 14 won’t be too much for a few days.
Terps are coming alive as she is taking on a delicious fruity smell. Still going very light on defoliation as I feel like the big fan leaves are still doing their job to boost photosynthesis and feed the buds.
She is starting to turn purple already!!!
I’m going to allow night temps to continue to drop below 10 degrees C at night, hoping for an amazing color show at harvest!
about 1/2 way through flowering now - Really enjoying this grow :) Purple hues are getting stronger each day.
She is trailing slightly behind Peyote Cookies in Girth - which to me appears as though she may need some extra time to finish compared to PC and probably the rest of my summer crop as well - but I’m sure that it’ll be worth the extra wait....
So far so good - starting to move indoors at night as the overnight lows are dipping to 5 degrees C- just a bit too cold!! Daytime temps still between 20-25 so still good for life outdoors during the day 💚💚
@frogDUDE your Mimosa EVO is looking great man! I love it, great training and you've made a great progress with your Mimosa! I see that you switched to flower also in the same 7th week as me. My Mimosa is in the 6th week into flowering and she has the thickest buds of all 6 plants. Looking at yours, it will get huge :)
I'll cross my fingers for you. Keep up the great work :) CU
@frogDUDE, wow! That sounds like a perfect job for ya, high tech stuff in the industry you probably love! That's awesome man :) And if you figure out such complex things you'll have a big knowledge base of different genetics and the impact of controlled environment on them. Such big data sets it will be worth a gazillion bucks in the future :D
@Cremo, yeah - your grow has been stellar so far. I’m pumped to see how this goes.
Part of my job is doing R&D for an automated Cannabis grow box company. - I’m setting some yield baselines in soil right now, then use clones from the same plants and test them out in the system. Should be interesting!
The hardest part about the research is adapting the grow box system to control the stretch - it’s so highly variable between different strains and individual plants, but some degree of stretch control is possible by having precise control over the environment. I get to research how to test this and develop the control system for it.
Your Mimosa EVO looks delicious :D #yummy my both mimosas have a very dark green color, the temps are probably too high for them to really change colors into some beautiful purple and greens. Hope yours will change the colors a lot! Great work so far! :) have fun!
@Cremo Thanks!!! I think a lot of it is definitely due to the outside exposure - It’s been an unusually nice summer here in Western Canada so she is spending most time outdoors instead of under my grow lights. Fingers crossed that the purple keeps developing! Cheers!!
@LittleBigTrees, thanks!! I don’t know if it’s my pheno or because the temps are dropping down to 10C/50F at night now - but I’m def. stoked to see it happening 😊
Outdoor, Hell Ya that is what I am gonna be doing when it warms up .I am only able to grow outdoors for now, this will be my 5th grow season. Also my first season buying seeds. I still have some of my trusty bag seeds .I found a few super glue and a few zkittlez ,so those are good , then bought some autos glue gelato barneys and cream cookies fast buds then i got some photo barneys mimosa and barneys pineapple chunk .Already have all my soil ,fox farm happy frog ,some cocoa some perlite some vermiculite .Oh and compost being made right now, All I need to buy is nutes and a ph meter ,I'm just gonna go with fox farms trio.I have seen people get good results plus I don't wanna spend a ton on nutes . i have some shit 0-50-30 bloom master shit. but i doubt il use any, maybe half the recommended amount, the last few weeks of flower may not tho but,I do have buddha grow and buddha bloom from Roots Organics stuff left but its almost gone, Anyway Ya im happy to grow this next season outdoors like you. Looking like some Good fire !!!GLAD i BOUGHT SOME BEANS .....
