I am excited to try out this new gorilla cookies from fastbuds. I originally started this setup to compete in the solo cup challenge, but I needed something that will be minimal maintainence and doesn't require hand watering. So this is what I ended up with. I will not be entering since I know it will bring controversy, but I am going to follow the rules and treat this grow as if I am competing. I didn't want to use regular solo cups because last time I had a lot of algae growing in the root zone when I harvested. I opted to use a black light proof cup. These cups were 27 oz originally so I filled them with 16 oz of water, marked the level, then cut them down to 16 oz. I set the drain pipes about an inch from the bottom so they have a little reserve if I have pump or power issues. I know people will see the drains as a way for roots to grow out of the cup but in reality I have to keep the entire pipe free of roots or it will clog and overflow. So I am actually losing a little volume due to this. I filled the bottom inch or so of the cups with river gravel to stop the perlite from washing into the reservoir. I am running a 5 gallon reservoir with a small air pump and the plants will be getting irritated 24 hours a day from an aquarium power head pump. I set the system up to be totally self contained and easily portable. It was all built from things I had laying around other than 97¢ for the cups. I will be keeping the feed simple as always feeding maxigro and maxibloom with a couple flower boosters.

Tangerine Band is growing great. I defoliated her some today. I will be changing her to flowering times next week.

Start of the 2nd week and everythings running smoothly

Week has had ups and downs🙃 Plants seem to be growing fine 🙂 But there is yellowing and spotting still that I cannot resolve.🙄 Day 22- Still having some kind of deficiency/issue. They are growing well, don't really seem to be stunted. I think I may have burnt them with nutes.🤧 Flushing may help. 🤷‍♂️😅 Run-off pH is at 6.08, PPM 266 I have flushed them, lowered feeding... I'm driving myself crazy. Hahaha Update 119 Day 23- Things are looking better. I definitely have been overfeeding them.😅 They are responding well to half nutes.🙌 Issues seem to be getting much better. Happy Growing! 🤙💚💪🌱😎🌱💪💚🤙

24/02: Colas again have become real heavy in places and have had to strap them together to prevent the stalks from falling and snapping. Over all blooming well have been on maximum dose of nutrients now for a few weeks. lots of orange hairs. water now for a week and then to harvest. the topping in this grow really paid off.

One more week to go before transplant on site 3.

11cm vertical growth this week. Loads of new growth coming out!!!!! Thinking she will enter flowering during the coming week..

To get higher temperatures I placed the growbox near the radiator, dimmer still at 25%, boiled tap water also this week, this guaranteed me an ideal pp for the beginning, from now on I will use mountain water which will allow me to use less fertilizer.

Tied down few ecolas to all more light and took off a few big fan leaves

lots of growth this week, finished with transplanting for the most part, topped the grinspoon and mac 1 as they are getting huge! hopefully the mac 1 is a freakishly tall girl but seems like it will probably be male, can’t tell just yet. probably going to flip them to flower on the 24/25th

The third week of flowering.

Starting to fill out abit

Amazing Colours! As you can see the colours on this plant at the end of its run are absolutely amazing. The buds didnt out as dense as I had hoped but I think thats just this pheno and we are busy hunting a denser pheno atm. what a great strain to grow though. no problems during the cycle of the plant and the colours make it so rewarding to grow! I would definitely recommend this strain to people who like fruity and colourful plants. Barneys never disappoints really;)

The buds are swelling with the combo of Fox Farms Grow Big & Tiger Bloom. No signs of over feeding...full moon is 4 days away so we are getting some heavenly rain which would contribute to the budswell...her next feeding would be some molasses.

Let’s Go Day 22 from seed for these 5 Ogreberry Autos from @twenty20mendocino and Bruce Banner from @fastbudsgenetics !!
