Genetics play a huge part in Auto's and Barney's Farm Auto's have top shelf genetics. She stretched out nicely during flower making it easy to LST and she showed no signs training stress. I will definitely be growing more Barney's Farm in the future.
Great tent! Sometimes you can see light coming out from the zippers but I have gone in the tent and zipped it up and no light comes in.
The 5 possible intakes are by far the best feature as some tents only have 2 or 3 which limits your setup.
First Auto Flower grow in the books!!
I loved growing this strain and great genetics from Barney's Farm. Right from germination, the tap root was about an inch long and as soon as it was in the pot, she grew vigorously and stretched out very nicely making it easy to LST. It smells amazing, exactly how you would expect a Pineapple strain to smell like. When your house is filled with smells of fresh cut fruit you know its going to be a tasty one.
The buds are beautifully covered in trichomes and the orange hairs make it even more appealing.
I harvested when the trichomes were mostly milky with 5% amber. I could have went a little longer but I got anxious and was running low on supply.
I would like to see Grow Diaries change the harvest week a little by adding a dry time to the equation. I dry for 7 days minimum but I aim for 10 days. This time I dried for 10 days.
I do a wet trim before hanging to dry to remove as much of the green leaves and stems as possible. This made the dry trim super quick.
So I weighed everything after the wet trim which also included the stems as you can see from the pictures how I hung with the stems left on. It came to 525g.
Once it was dried I weighed everything again with the stems to see what the difference was. It weighed 126g.
That's a difference of 399g or 76%.
The final dry, stem free weight was 103g
