Welcome to my Black Jack b sponsored by Sweet Seeds 2 yrs ago nearly. Veg Weeks & Pre/Post Pre Flower Weeks 7-9 She was really healthy during her entire veg period. Moving into pre flower she didn't do any excess stretching. Plant was doing very well moving into pre flower it took a good few weeks for her to flip but it was building up a good base up and down the nodes. I used plagron right through half of flowering possibly more. For the last 4 weeks I moved all my plants to Xpert Nutrients. MAINTENANCE I carried out a good bit of work making sure all parts of her was getting light (as much as she didn't get, it was more then enough to get A grade bud just like it was done under a 100w). I stripped a lot of shoots coming into & during pre fower. So when coming in to fattening all her energy went into making buds that were brought to harvest. Knowing light would be an Issue (lack off) i made sure to use all my skills to move energy through a plant. After pre fower was over (plants nodes stop growing up) and I left her a few days for the leaves to take in energy building stigmata. Then I done 10-15% defoliations for mid wk into fattening and beyond until I felt was enough removed (3-4 stages). Now on her last few days I took loads of leaves off to help ripening. She's 95% cloudy and 15% or so Amber. I had to give 10l of water to flush the nutes I had given her. 4l was given and ppm was 650. So I had to give another 6L to get the ppm down to 250 area. 3 days its been under light for 11hrs with 30m of UV-A doses from 65cm away (they are attached to my light IR/UV45) FLOWERING/RIPENING WEEKS Plant moved very nicely through fattening. Buds are lots but whets there is pretty darn good for been at the side of a FC3000 300w light in a 1m2 tent doing many other plants. And this been by far been under the best part of it. It sat on the outskirts as this fem is one of my 1st 5 I started together with 7 autos in phase 1 of my 6 phase crop with 10-15 plants per phase. Took (NUMBER 4 this 1 is). 14 weeks from seed. And she's been through a hard flush. As the last 4.5 weeks she's been on Xpert Nutrients. NUTRIENT GIVEN So I know tats a large list. But as I updated my a lot of weeks into 1. I left on the list what was given. All of plagron was given through most of the grow right through to the middle of fattening and then I switched it (all my plants to Xpert Nutrients bloom nutes). And even then, I normally give more than 2-3 nutrients in 1 feeding 2-3 day window. Its important tat a plant take up these as individual so I typically leave a few days or at least 1-2 water feeds (or low ec feeds such as an enzyme, or calmag to help break down any excess nutrients left behind from last feed) I added my SE5000 and have this 60+cm away just finish off the ripening process. Pant has a good amount of bud. And really like this breeder. What have I been missing out on Sweet Seeds both plants are dreams to grow. Thanks to my sponsors. Xpert Nutrients have given me a gift for you guys. !!DISCOUNT CODE FOR XPERT NUTRIENTS!! CODE FOR 15% OFF & FREE SHIPPING IN EU:GGST !!DISCOUNT CODE FOR XPERT NUTRIENTS!! Much appreciation to Sweet Seeds. Seeds are nearly 2yrs old. I've had them for nearly all that time. They were packaged within a month of me getting them. Shout out to Mars-Hydro for their FC3000 & IR/UC45. Had to break out my SE5000 as nice as this plant is its needs fell short been in a tent with 15 other plants. My se5000 is giving 55k lux (that's the lowest level BTW in my corners I just about got that mid field using my 300w.)

Super Hot in the tent this week 90-97 the plants have been hanging in there thanks to the CO2 blasts. They are drinking a lot from the heat, LST all 3 to even out the canopy before the stretch of flowering. Week one is done the start of week 2 seeing hairs finally and have been spraying MILF A twice a day with the CS. I transplanted the clones as well, the roots were filling up the solo cups. I up potted to 3 gallon fabric pots and straight into flower. should get some colas to dust with Feminized pollen in a few more weeks. Im so Freaking Happy that they were all girls I got the hairs to prove it😅 UPDATE: 5/12/30 I'm happy to report the CS is doing its job. I am seeing well defined Sacs in the one branch I am spraying 2 times a day for 13 days I have read that it can take up to 2 weeks so this is right on target. Clones are recovering well I top dressed all the plants with the Sea blast Bloom in the Nutrient list up top all the others were put in to a 5 gallon bucket of water PH to 5.8 and drenched the plants. that's all for now. cheers

Stretch is done - I hope - Strawberry Cough is almost touching the light - Mimozz is not far behind. I need to move the light up even more. That is first time I did not ScrOG them right after flip - and so far I regret it - but we'll see - maybe I'll harvest more than usually and will not use scrog any more... who knows !? All are in full flowering mode now - stacking nodes on nodes, producing pistills and forming flowers. One month to go 💪

Starting to learn a lot more about ppm. An starting to drop it down for flush I’m also starting to cut out the micro and MagNifiCal out of the feedings as I’m really looking for that autumn fade. Temps already drop about 8-10 degrees form lights on to off so i believe that’s set. Gave her two waterings just plain water cause her ppms were probably as high as I am LOL I slacked on ph which probably wasn’t good but we will see also forgot to water her so she went 4 days without, let’s just say she wasn’t very happy with me ahah

Apologies, I hadn't time to report and share my experience on the 3rd year of indoor grow. I even didn't took photos from the beginnings, shame on me! I finally decide to post the few I did to share with a friend... and I began last week to keep records. So, this is week 6. but I'm currently on week endig week 9. Almost the same setup as the previous indoor. - MyPot (a mix between hydro & areo) - small tent 60x60x160 - Lumatek ATS 200 PRO, but at 75% or 50% - Nutrients TA Tripart - 3 autos from Sweet Seeds, I changed some part of the setup, I'll explain later on. Now, I'll prefer to post the next weeks...

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;)

Day 83: After being in the dark for like 4-7 days, they where ready to harvest. All plants getting cut by the machine, big buds are cut by hand. I never weight wet buds because that doesnt make any sence. I will update soon on how much it is dry weight. My friend helped me with the harvest since it takes many hours of work. I have many buds that are as big or bigger as my hand. Quallity so far looks promising even thought there are shitty buds as well, but thats normal and oke. They have been cut freshly so I won't lose much weight when cutting. This will happen when cutting dry buds. The remaining small leafs on the wet buds will dry in with the buds and will be barely visible. Thanks @Fastbuds for sponsering the seeds. It was a really hard thought to make a diary about it while having more then 100 other strain plants. So both diaries look almost the same now. Ill hope you guys liked my grow and that we can go bigger in the future, so that i can make a , single strain,better and full diary about it. More info soon.

Day 80 Harvesting was a bit of a trick with this one because I used to Trellis Nets but it went very smoothly no accidents and in the end I ended up with a staggeringly large amount of wet weight. My wet weights have a minimal amount of stock so that they more accurately represent the actual weight of the flower itself. In three days roughly I will be putting in the dry weight and then putting all the flowers into curing. welcome to Day 83 this will be my last update i have now done my final trim and got my dry weight 362.30 gram's !! off one plant. that's 12.77 ounce's i don't sell but my god if i didn't care about laws lol, For a plant thats no cured i will sat it tastes smooth AF and has a nice head high that i didn't really expect from her being that its not cured and didn't really look like she had tones of trichomes. This baby is going to be nice in a month. I'd like to thank everyone that followed this grow and asked questions as always my friends keep your stick on the ice

Plants started getting real bushy a couple of days after topping. Low Stress Trained all the plants at the end of the week by tying them down using rubber coated garden wire to spread out the newly grown tops. Also spaced out each plant evenly on the tray and turned on the other 2 PB2000 LED lights I had ready to go.

Hi everyone 🤗 This week the two Kosher Tangie Kush were harvested by Amsterdam Genetics 😍. extremely good phenotypes. The blue cheese pheno 2 and 3 were placed in the darkroom according to the video. These were harvested yesterday, from which the pictures will come in the next update :-). All others need 2-3 weeks. I wish you lots of fun with the diary, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow 🌱

So far, so good. Little defoliation, nothing major. As stated before, most likely not topping this run as I'd like to see the natural growth structure. I'd also like a more chilled grow this round too. Not too ling till i flip as they get big in hydro. Day 33 - girls are looking good, just ashame about the 4th girl not making it, but all dependant on genetics 3/4 still good. Most the environment is now dialled in. Will be flipping the next few days. Nutrient dose is currently under what is recommended as less is more when in hydro. Day 34 - All healthy enough and ready for some flower production. Will hopefully flip these girls tomorrow.

Lights running 50% at 45cm from to of plant 18 hour days. Extractor fan turned on today on low fire day light hours for now. Got a few fungus gnats, they are annoying but when don’t you get them.

****************** GINGER NUT COOKIES *************************************************3rd Jan 2020********************************************************** Awhile back I made a diary on here, about how I used a Clone of a Red Diesel from Barneys Farm plant, to create feminised pollen by reversing the sex using sodium thiosulphate mixed with silver nitrate which then makes silver thiosulfate solution or STS as its probably better known To get up to speed that diary can be found here https://growdiaries.com/diaries/42051-barney-039-s-farm-red-diesel-grow-journal-by-grey-wolf-growdiaries Then after I proccured some pollen I pollinated two Plants from Fastbuds in this Diary https://growdiaries.com/diaries/42635-gelato-auto-girl-scout-cookies-grow-journal-by-grey-wolf-growdiaries This diary will be showing the Growth of the result of Crossing the @BarneysFarm Red Diesel with the @Fastbuds Girl Scout Cookies auto . In Australia we have a cookie variety called Ginger nuts and I thought that an apt name for this strain combo I will be growing it in Soil fully organically with Sunshine and Love. Fuck knows how it will go and how it will even turn out but that just makes it more interesting & challenging for Me. So here we go & Let the Fun begin........................🙏🙏 Once a week I will post a link to an Aussie Band/performer performing one of their best songs to start things off Please Watch this video clip Dance Monkey https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0hyYWKXF0Q
