Black Cherry Gushers from Barney's Farm was a big plant with some seriously chunky nugs. The pistils stayed pretty light, but the trichomes were still on point. It's got that classic Barney's Farm quality โ€“ big yields and a unique look. Definitely a fun one to grow! I recently upgraded to the GrowPro Solutions Under Canopy lights, and wow, what a difference! The colors on my plants are seriously popping โ€“ they look so vibrant. Plus, I think it really helped them finish strong. If you're looking to boost your grow, I'd definitely recommend checking these out.

Girls are growing good. Previous I had problems with temperature because it's freezing outside. This problem is fixed by turning off the vent every hour (automatic) And there enjoying it. This week gonna stop adding roots en start adding sugar royal 1 time a week 2ml/l

Feeding schedule has been steady with the girls transpiring 5 liters of water and "eating" 8 g of Megacrop and 20 ml of P-K booster per day. It's about that time when it would be wise for me to freeze my pruning shears in a gallon of ice to help with my impulse control. Geezuz these gals are getting dank. I had been running the 6-in carbon filter only during lights-on but noted a serious spike in terps during dark hours lately that I'm sure drifted to the neighbours, so the grow room air is now being scrubbed 24/7. That doesn't help with the stank that sticks to me whenever I touch the plants or even just go in the room. Candidly, I the smell is addictive to me, but the wife ain't no fan, so I have to do a body douche with alcohol, soap and water whenever I've been in the grow room. Bo is on the home stretch -- or fattening, at this stage -- with pistils browning across the canopy and trichomes starting to cloud up. I'm starting to believe @PirateJoe and @SativaKid in their mid-December estimates, for Bo, at least. Sophia continues to plug away, getting thick, but pistils are just starting to brown and trics are crystal clear, so 2 weeks behind, at least. The buds on both plants are developing a texture similar to the Kilimanjaro I grew outside this summer, @PirateJoe and @SativaKid have alluded to this as well: Dense, mushy buds that have an almost oily feel. I'm guessing this is characteristic of Sativas in general? Community input would be appreciated. I've been increasing the duration of UV exposure by 30 min during each of the 2 daily exposure periods every few days. Now up to 2 hours each period, and since I'm seeing no damage, I'll probably continue to increase the UV so it's on continuously for 7 hrs straight during the middle of the "day."

######################################### HARVEST (Day 110 / December 21) ######################################### ----------------------------------------------------------- GROW SUMMARY ----------------------------------------------------------- Grown in 4x4 tent - but I only used 2x4 because of heater and dehumidification but each plant averaged a 2x3 canopy. Each plant had a dedicated light, Sage 2 used the HLG 300 V2 Rspec and Sage 3 used the CMH 315. It's not an accurate comparison of lights because there was some overlap but I'm just utilizing my resources the best I can for this dedicated autoflower tent. The plants were grown in hydroponics using a custom two-site PA hydroponics clone RDWC system with Advanced Nutrients Sensi Coco line, Microbial Mass and Orca for beneficials. All around a pretty easy grow and things went very well. Sage #3 had an issue just after stretch, and I think I burnt it a bit when the CMH was at 22". I also experimented with a single water change which was only performed when switching to bloom nutrients around week 7 and turned out surprisingly well - see the results below. It's always fun to see the two contrasting phenotypes side by side. ----------------------------------------------------------- HARVEST ----------------------------------------------------------- From day 106 to day 110, I just stopped feeding and let the ppms run down. No dark period and no flush. On day 110 they were chopped. I probably could have let them go a bit longer, but my concerns were growing with Sage 3 and the sugar leaves being brittle and flacking off onto lower buds promoting bud rot. The smell of this flower on the plant was funk and was hard to control the funk... even with a carbon filter. Trichomes are slightly amber, mostly milky overall. I'm convinced hydroponics can add a couple of weeks of veg time to the run compared to coco/soil. Cutting the Scrog net was required. ----------------------------------------------------------- DRYING ----------------------------------------------------------- The plants were dried in a 3x3 tent, so I had to cut the plants in 1/4 sections to fit in the 3x3 drying tent for a slow dry. Branches were hung to dry on burlap twine in a tent in complete darkness, branches upside down. The temps were dialed in at 60F by pointing AC at the intake vent on side of the tent. Humidity was dialed in at 63%/60F for 24hr, 62%/60F for the next 48hr. Then 60%/60F for the third day and onward. Ambient RH in my house is 30% due to winter so I had to use two humidifiers and an Inkbird controller to add humidity to the room and block the humidity streams from hitting plants directly. AC Infinity T6/S6 exhaust and intake fans were on the setting of '2' during drying until day 8, then I could turn down to a setting of '1' once the plants were not transpiring excess moisture. I pulled the branches to trim as they were ready around starting around day 12. ----------------------------------------------------------- TRIMMING ----------------------------------------------------------- I trimmed each branch as it was ready but there were times when I pulled more than I could trim without being interrupted so a few branches did overdry on my trim table due to the low ambient RH due to winter. Very few fan leaves on branches, so most trim was all sugar leaves. I went tight with trim to ensure a better flower product and more supply for edible totaling in over 11 ounces of trim product. ----------------------------------------------------------- CURING ----------------------------------------------------------- Flower product was transferred to 1L mason jars averaging 35g of product per jar. I added a mini hygrometer to each jar and boveda/boost 8gr humidity pack. The RH averaged 62-64% when trimmed flowers went in jars. I started by burping once a day for the first seven days, once every other day for the next seven days, rolling jars often. The burp was only for 3-5 second for air exchange. Because the flower product was already at almost 62% when packaged in jars, quite the contrast from drying in summer conditions, I only needed to burp once per day and mold really wasn't much of an issue due to low humidity in winter. ----------------------------------------------------------- YIELD ----------------------------------------------------------- * Weight calculated at 62% humidity after 10 day cure. ============================== FLOWER PRODUCT ============================== Sage 2: 301g (10.75oz) Sage 3: 377g (13.46oz) ---------------------------------------- Total: 670g (23.93oz) ============================== TRIM PRODUCT ============================== Sage 2: 204g Sage 3: 135g ---------------------------------------- Total: 327g (11.67oz) **I went tight on the trim for better flower product and sufficient supply for edibles, and is calculated in overall yield. ** All major fan leaves, stems, and branches removed from trim product. ============================== TOTAL OVERALL YIELD ============================== Flower: 678g (24.21oz) Trim: 327g (11.68oz) ---------------------------------------- Total: 1005g (35.89oz) (2.24lb) ============================== SPACE YIELD ============================== 1005g / 12 sqft (3x4 canopy) = 83.75g per sqft ============================== WATTAGE YIELD ============================== 615 Watts / 12 Square Foot (3x4 canopy) = 51.25 watts per sqft. 1005g / 615 watts = 1.63 grams per watt ----------------------------------------------------------- PRODUCT TEST ----------------------------------------------------------- On day 10 of cure, I tested the flower and passed some to a few friends for their input. Feedback was positive. One little bud was given to a friend and he reported it stunk his entire car. Sticky, trichome-covered fire! Smoke is smooth, no cough. White ash. The 60/40 (sativa/indica) is a blend that is on point. Sage Scout definitely is a heavy hitter; upwards of 3.5 hour noticeable head/body change with no couchlock at the end. In regards to flavor and smell, it's not fully there yet on only day 10 of cure. The flavors/scents are still muted but I expect the flavours to prevail after 6-8 weeks of curing. Very funky and strong smell that bursts past the mason jar lids. Piney sweet scent. ----------------------------------------------------------- REGRETS ----------------------------------------------------------- Honestly, I only have two regrets with this run. 1. More aggressive lolipopping! I just feel if I had lolipopped more, I would have had a denser product overall. The flower product is indeed dense, and all in all, I'm happy with the result, but it's I'm adding as a reminder for the next run. I need to be more selective. 2. I slacked on the training of Sage #2 due to the hard-to-reach factor which probably affected about additional 1-2 oz of yield. ----------------------------------------------------------- NEXT RUN ----------------------------------------------------------- 1. Iโ€™m was very happy with Microbial Mass product in combination with Orca. Once again, I was overall happy with Advanced Coco blend for RWDC. I went with Coco product because Coco is similar to hydroponics, the AN Coco line just has added Calmag to it. I didnโ€™t really see any issues with the AN Coco line and I like the autonomous factor of AN sensi products because my photoperiod tent takes some of my attention, so it is nice to have this autolower tent on auto-pilot for the majority of the grow. 2. When harvesting, I did find a few spots of concern in the root system, so I will definitely upgrade the pump from 250gph to a 400gph for better flow to combat that issue. 3. My experiment with a single water change when switching to bloom nutrients was a surprising result. Sage 2 (purple pheno) performed well with no deficiencies which I had trouble sorting out the deficiency on Sage 3. I continue to wonder if it was salt build-up, but it seemed to start shortly after the change to bloom nutrients so maybe it was a nitrogen/calmag issue. I may add an additional water change mid-flower (week 11) to the next run and see if it makes any difference is the same conditions happen. 4. I'll also like to move the two-site system to the front of the tent for better accessibility to train the plants. 5. I'm also looking at the floorplan of the tent and I think I can run a single system in parallel next to this two-site system and still have room for heater/dehumidifier and still keep accessibility for training. ----------------------------------------------------------- FINAL THOUGHTS ----------------------------------------------------------- Night Owl genetics has performed once again in my RDWC setup. I also feel a dedicated light for each plant really helped improve the yield. If I calculate a 2x3 space for each plant, with a total of 615 watts / 12 sq ft, running at 51.25 watts per square foot is the result. In regards to gram per watt, I've calculated the result is nearly 1.63 gram per watt when using 1005g / 615 watts. My goal was a pound per plant, I was happy to exceed that goal line with autoflowers with 2.24lb total yield. ----------------------------------------------------------- THE END ----------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for checking out my diary! I typically journal in my notebook but I put some time and effort into documenting my grows on this platform in hopes it will help a new or experienced grower with their DWC journey. Any questions or suggestions are welcomed. Happy growing!

This is the last week of growth. We are approaching the most attractive part, flowering. This week I will remove the extra leaves. And the last time I used growth fertilizer. This week I moved the grow light driver outside to lower the temperature inside the grow box and also added 2 Mars Hydro ts1000 bulbs to the box for better flowering๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‘Š

Buenas a tod@s... Otra semanita mรกs de flora para estรกs hermosas niรฑas... Creciendo un poquitito mรกs, super bien, super fuertes... Ya faltan pocas semanas y la verdad q lo las veo nada mal, absorben muy bien los nutrientes, aumentado el riego a 1lt x planta, no tienen ningรบn signo malo de nada, todo perfecto, eh tenido que hacer un poco de defoliaciรณn ya q habia muchรญsimas hojas grandes, se nota la buena circulaciรณn de aire, la penetraciรณn de luz en las partes bajas ( que aunque algunos no les den importancia o digan que esas zonas le quitan fuerzas a la planta, a mรญ me gusta dejar que crezca todo tal cual, sin problema.) son cogollos pequeรฑos, pero los aceptamos igual, claro q sรญ... Buenos humos y buena semana para tod@s a seguir trabajando... ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ท

Alright, guys, today is officially day 7. Which wraps up the first week of this little girl's life.. So far, she's off to a great start. I actually just before making his diary gave them they're very first feeding of just maxi bloom, but very little, maybe .05 of a tsp per gallon.. I think i'm gonna let this girl grow naturally like i did my cream and cheese.. Thank you to Kannabia Seeds for making this grow possible.. I hope everyone is doing well and so are there ladies , God bless and happy growing โœŒ๏ธ

Overall I'm extremely impressed with this strain. Terpene profile definitely leans traditional GG#4. Extremely pungent and lingering aroma. I personally wouldn't consume this if I had any plans for the day. Definitely helps with my sleep issues. The bud to leaf ratio was above average and fairly easy to trim. The bud themselves are extremely resinous and dense. So if you've followed this grow you'll know I made to change back to organic growing and made a light change mid grow. I'm glad I went back to organics because it's always been the favorable growing style of mine. I switched to a light bar style LED from Kind LED lights and noticed a big difference over the Spider Farmer. Now let me state that the Kind pulls more watts and should technically on paper out perform the smaller SF2000 from Spider Farmer. This is not at all a slam against Spider Farmer because I love my Spider lights. I really didn't do anything special this grow other than my normal routine. I topped multiple times and the rest was a mixture of LST and HST techniques. I finished in a 10 Gallon pot to try and fill my canopy to provided grow area. The organics I pretty much kept as simple as possible. Amended soil before transplant and topdressed every 4 weeks. What I would consider the most important aspect of organic growing is to not let the soil dry out and keep the microbial life in your soil prosperous and happy. Well im not very good at this at all but I do hope everyone enjoyed this grow and appreciate all the support and comments โค๏ธ. Thank you. Oh I pulled 12.47 ounces off of this plant dried ๐Ÿ˜
