Barney's Farm Triple Cheese 16 colas

Gone for seed straight into some Plant magic light mix and a dribble (50ml) water @6.2 ph. Day 4 and she has got a shoot already. My white widow also shooted on day 5 but no joy from the Narco Purps yet! I think this Triple cheese is going to be a fighter..

just giving a little water as and when the soil looks dry. Shes growing well. Day 8 :- and she put some more length on. I made of a mix of 1ml of biobizz rootjuice and 1ml of biobizz bio heaven with some 6.2 PH water. She got 100ml to try and help the root development Day 10 not much to say . Getting bigger and looking very healthy to me. Day 11. New light arrived. Hope it is not too much of a change Day 13 and moved to a 12L airpot, her roots were nice and healthy looking she was given a little mix of the above root activator and enzymes.

Start of week 3 and I think I may have cooked them with my new light. I did as all red blooded males do and dimmer to 100% and get some light on em.... Turns out 90cm and 75% dimmer works much better ATM. It's all a learning curve..😁🤘 Decided to top the cheese.. Day 25 and she seems to be recovering just fine from my pork chop fingers cutting away at her. I hope for a bit more push from her in the next few days. Temps quite high today at 27c so rampped up RH to 70%. Day 26 She shows good growth after her topping. i think the plan is to mainline her and keep her in veg for around 12/13 weeks. Thanks for looking and sorry for all the pics on the daily. Its my second grow and 1st time training so its for my reference for future grows. Stay safe and happy growing. 😁

Day 28 . I took off the node below the topping. I decided to leave it on for the week to help with recovery but think that energy can go to the mainline now.. We shall see what happens. Day 30. Good recovery. She is strong. Let her stretch out for a bit now. Day 33. I've had a senior moment. I am not happy with how my plant is after mainline. I feel this is not how I want to grow as it feels to abusive to my plants. After this grow I will not ever try this again. I shall also be a bit more easy with this girl for the test of her time. Happy growing. 😋 Stay Safe.

Start of week 5. Taking shape I guess. Don't like what's been done to her but I'm commited now. I think she is okay leaves are a little dryer then I think they should be. I'm not sure if it's all the torture she had to endure at my butcher finger tips but I will watch her over the next few days. Last day of week 5.. day 34 tidy up of the main line and removing all growth below second nodes on the mainlines. Gonna let them rest while i decide if we go for 8 or 16. Stay safe everyone. The world's a crazy place ATM... Happy growing. 🤩🤘🤪

week 6 veging out. Healing time this week after her torture to the cutters. As much as I wanted to not touch her this week it has been necessary to adjust her LST lines twice a day as she is pushing so much I keep losing the shape I see.. Cut get N out this feed cycle too. I realised the soil I use had 4 weeks of feed in so I'm worried I have hit her with to much nitrogen. Gonna re a ntroduce grow at the end of the week. Also added some Alg-a-mic to help with the possible nitrogen issues. Day 39 cut off her old fan leaves and did some LST to get the shape i want for the 16 colas.. Day 41 got the rotation on her arms how i want. so far so good.🙏 Stay safe and happy growing.

Started week 7 with another topping. She looks a bit of a mess ATM as I have had to bend some of her arms a full 90degrees and do some funky leaf tieing to keep everything in shape.. Nothing snapped and she seems okay. I will see how she recovers in the next day or two. Re introduced grow to her feed. I shall check back in after a few days of recovery and try to get a better pic then the blurple ones I managed earlier. Day 48 She is so strong. The topping did not bother her showing 3 cm of growth the night I topped her.. I have cleaned all old fan leaves and defoliated the mainlines. Just have 8 colas atm. I attached a ring from a plant holder to try and hold the shape. 7 of the 8 colas have grown exactly where I wanted but 1 has taken a funny turn and as a result it's grown a bit short of where I need it. I shall try to bring them all to a uniformed height then I think I'm going to let 2 more nodes grow out and if that looks like it's given me enough space I will do the final topping for 16 colas. If she looks like it will be to busy I shall stick to 8.. Thanks for looking stay safe and happy growing.😁👍🤘

Week 8 already. I have set her up for final veg push. 7 colas atm in a circle currently on look LST to keep them growing out from the center. The 8th cola I have bent back around to take the center. I want to top again for 16 but I don't think i will have the time to wait that long..the space is needed. Feeding was just water end of last week. This week normal bio bizz veg feed @ pH 6.5 .23.5c Got a basic LUX meter and she is getting 17,000 units of whatever LUX is.. RQS website says ideal for vegging is 15,000-50,000. So im in the ball park. Thanks for looking. Be safe 😷 Grow strong 🌱

Hello friends. I've not done anything really to her this week. She asked for nothing really.. maybe the odd bedtime story but otherwise she is just resting and recovering from last week's toppings. She has pushed new growth that has supposed me. I need to cut off the next set of nodes but I think I may wait a few days and do the final topping all in one hit. I can't get her into flowering room for another 6-8 weeks so I have some good time to shape her into a sixteen cola mega beast..(I hope). If I do the copy chop cho later this week ishall update some pics of the torture.. ...update..... Did the final topping for 16. She has some interesting variations in growth rates at each node.. I think all the twisting has an effect on how the next node grows. I think I see a way by twisting the branch through a full rotation between nodes you can affect how the next branch set grows... It's just an observation ATM but I will maybe experiment with another plant to test this. She seems okay after the torture. I will leave her to grow out for a few weeks now I guess🤔 Thanks for looking. Stay safe😷😷 Keep growing and stay happy.🌱🌿😜🤪👍

Week 10. Not much to say again. She grows more. Training is getting harder for me as branches are more mature and harder to bend without feeling like they may snap. I've come too far to risk breaking her now. I will do slight adjustments each day over the week to get the shape I want and fingers crossed she will take it. Feeding is still just some N and once a week some P and K along with her soil improvers. I've managed to do all my autos with out the need for Cal mag but this lady is asking for some. So will introduce some Cal mag this week. The 4 tops I took off her previous topping are all rooted and potted. So I have 4 clones of triple cheese to try and schedule into what is already an over crowded space.. ah well. Fun fun fun. Day 66 After she had her tops taken I thought she would need to rest but she pushed another 4cm of growth on about 5 of the 16 colas. The canopy height difference between highest and lowest cola was around 15 cm. I decided to put her through some more torture and now the canopy is flat(er) around 5cm difference now which I can live with as I feel I can level bits out as new growth pushes. I will try and take her shape out wider rather then higher for now but again I will see want she wants to do and hopefully we can come to an agreement 😊. She will spend the next 5 days to herself eating drinking and living the good life. Thanks for looking. Stay safe.😷 Happy grows to all👍🌱🌿🌱

Hello 👋 I decided to leave her for the week to recover from her topping. She has done so and so today I decided to trim all bottom nodes on all 16 colas. Hard for me to see the shape now as there is just too much going on. I need to take out the round shape and I am going for more of a rectangle now so it will fit my growspace. I only have 80cm of width but 160cm of depth. Can also grow high as space is 2m plus. I think she has some issues with soil so today I flushed her through with 2l of pH 6.4 and will give her some goodness once the water has been drunk in the form of bio heaven,activera and some Cal mag added to her normal nute feed. Thanks for looking Happy growing.🌱🌱🌿🌿 Stay safe. 😷😷😷😷😷

Moved to other space now and will sit on a 18/6 schedule while she fills out and my autos finish off. She is a little in need of something this week I thought maybe her soil after last flush maybe needs some more activity so have added vera and heaven as a foiler spray as well as her feed of above mix once a week with water in between Lamp is at 50% and 60cm.

I have moved her to a 25l pot as the 12l fabric pot she was in was just too small for a grow of this duration. The fabric started to have mould spots which can never be a good thing. She has also been put on to a 12/12 and is sitting pretty with her 4 daughters. She did not have a care in the world after the transplant and the roots that were pushing into the bottom of the fabric pot shows me she will be happy with the extra 10cm of depth she now has. The soil i used to repot was bio bizz light mix which had a pre soaking of rain water and some bio bizz root juice to give the roots a nice tempting offering once they touched down. She has a lighter green to her daughters i think she will recover that this week as she turns to flower. Happy grows Stay safe😷😷

Hello if you're here👋😊 The journey continues. I have put a lot of time love and energy into this lady and she is rewarding me back by being super chill and laid back. She takes her food and just keeps getting bigger. Too many flower sites to count. She sits with her daughters and they are all growing at the same rate giving me a beautiful canopy. I have not needed to train anything as it's all growing very uniformed. I can only put this down to how even the photon distribution is on the SP3000. If anyone is looking to upgrade their lighting I can't recommend this light enough. 9 plants under it and it's at 55/60% on dimmer. 🤩🤩🤩 All plants are perfect. I decided to do some more LST and clear some of her lower leaf. I've bent flat all 16 colas so now all the flower sites have nowhere to go except up towards the mars hydro sun god... She is huge! I hope the flowers start to come soon. Thanks for the visit happy grows🌱🌿🌱 Stay safe😷😷

Pre flower at last. Feeding will increase p-k and hopefully watch her get even more massive. Had lots of work meaning I've been away for most of last 3 weeks. Our based a new heater for grow room as night temps are 14c in the room last few nights. Thanks for looking 🌱👍🌿

Flowers everywhere.. All seems good.

Just letting her do her thing. She was over 1 meter across her canopy a few days back... I let her up a bit and she is now a more reasonable 80x80cm with around 50 flowers currently showing. I have added some Humboldts golden tree to her feed. Happy new year. Grow well🌱🌿🎄 Stay safe.😷😷😷 And thanks for looks Ng 👋😃

Wow she is huge. Flowers are everywhere and all very very frosty. Buds are getting taller and fatter with each day. I'm trying to balance her feeds as I have some bug issues and I don't want overly wet soil ATM so I have been feeding from the bottom letting her roots soak it all up. Predators arrive in the week but they seem to be leaving this one alone and picking on her 4 daughters instead. Temps at night are becoming an issue so will deploy my green house heating tube to try and keep temps near 20 at night. Was 15c last night.... I hope for more growth through this week. Can't believe she is so fat already and only halfway through flower.. Thanks for looking. Stay safe😷😷😷 Happy growing.🌱🌿🌱

This week has been stressful for me. I discovered 3 types of bug invaders.. I had some fungus gnats some spider mites and also some thrips... Bastards! I have deployed predators to deal with the canopy in the form of Amblyseius cucumeris and Amblyseius swirskii. I also deployed a platoon of lacewing larvae. For the fungus gnats I used nematodes watered into the root system. I now need to keep an eye for any further signs. I lost a lot of leaf to the pests I hope I did not take to much but anything I chopped was eaten and dead already. She needed a trim anyway and I did discover a load of bud sites that were covered up. I plan to strip the flower room out after this grow and do a deep clean and reseal everything. This will also be the last grow using biobizz range as I do. I was told before that I don't need to use all their product line and I feel I know what I like and need now. Thanks for looking apart from the bug issues I'm very happy with her. She's huge and is all bud...😍 Take care😷😷 Happy growing🌿🌱🌿

On the final stretch. Bug issues seem to be under control. All plants were flushed last week. This lady had 9l of dechlorinated water @6.8 pass through her. Checked pH in the run off and was spot on. All the buds are very dense. The way I have trained her has meant rather the some tall colas I have lots of smaller along the same branch as I kept the canopy wide and flat. I can't believe it's been this long! I started this grow after seeing @silky_smooth doing amazing art. So I decided to main line and train 16 colas.. second grow and probably way too ambitious. I have learned so much from her taking 4 clones and finding my way with my nutes. I hope I have not failed her or the great genetics Barney's Farm have produced. I had a vision of what I wanted her to look like and I feel I got what I set out for. Lessons learned. Slow down on nutes. Less is more sometimes! Plastic pots suck ass... At least 25l ones do. If I ever grow in this pot again I will amend my substrate as the drainage seemed way off with just biobizz light mix. Lights... 100% on the dimmer is not always best..(thanks @Mrs_Larimar) Bugs... They are bastards and I will start to feed nematodes into my final pot each grow from now on. And lots more.... We will keep her on water for the rest of this week then I will leave her to what's left for the last week. Thanks for looking if you managed to read this far thanks. Stay safe😷😷 Happy grows🌿🌱🌿

She will be getting chopped now. She's cloudy with a nice sprinkle of amber's showing. So much crystal 😍 Thanks for all who followed I shall post some updates with a wet weight once I get around to chopping her she's sitting in the dark for the last 24hrs . Happy grows 🌿🌱 Stay safe😷😷

A really long grow allowing me to practice the training i have read up on so much. It went to plan, 16 colas trained the shape i wanted all met with a smile. Great genetics that has returned a great yeild. I was heavy with nutes (as always) i mesed the enviroment up a few times and i battled against multiple bug invaders. I did not take as many pics as i thought i would as my hands were covered in resin and crystal for 4 hrs while i choped her... I will get some pics of all her lovely huge dense nugs once they have had a dry out. I wet trimmed them all quite a lot for me, i hope this wont cause too quick a dry. They are sitting in my 8 teir drying rack in a dark room @20c with an RH as close as i can get to 50%.
