well yesterday i put the scrog net over the 2x barneys farm shiskaberry clones in my bigger drobe and turned the led up to full power and have upped nutrient a tad so at 1.4 ec and ph varied daily.light on 18/6 just to save a little electric cost and i do think they need a rest.
i been testing some oil from the barneys vanilla kush harvest as im trying hard to quit baccy so down to just a few spliffs a day and been having a rice grain size blob of the oil with my morning tea,makes for a less painful day until evening when it all catches up with me!
must say the vk makes some of the best oil of my oiling experience with nearly the entire barneys farm range much of which i have been able to have tested i reckon shes well up near the top rank but sadly my source of testing went and died recently so my tina is my guinea pig for testing now!
i also should say anyone thinking of a haze grow to try barneys utopia haze it is bloody lovely!
yield was not bad either and when i run it next time it will be from clone so shorter and easier meaning i wont need the step ladder to take pics or tend them!
i shall do full pic update tomorrow,cheers all
hi all i finally got it together to take a few pics from my 3 drobes so boring vegging ones are first up followed by some earlyish budporn from my smaller drobe tangerine dream which has huge smell even immature and im glad i have a good carbon filter for this run! cos my little bungalow has close neighbours i am anal about grow smells so this ones a challenge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jwa7KgVuypk!drobes 30 06 22,td 001|281x500
hi all i have a small update with pics taken today from my 3 converted wardrobes,first up is the bigger drobe with 2x barneys farm shiskaberry clones still vegging and will get another 10 days or so in which time i shall remove the under net growth and clone them for later before flip.
next up is the tiny veg cab with a mixture of barneys strains as mums and clones and the vegging seedlings all labeled for clarity.
then is the smaller drobe with a single barneys farm tangerine dream untrained test subject on a pheno hunt,so far so good she is similar to my lost tangerine dream in smell and trich coverage,esp strong in the pong!
she is at 52 days of 12-12 under 250w hps,stats in pics so heres a tune and pics,cheers all for looking in again,peace
hi all well a lot of growth over the last 10 days since last update so the bigger drobe with the 2 barneys shiskaberry clones was flipped to 12=12 3 days ago and stretch has begun.
theres pics from them then the tiny veg cab then the smaller drobe with the barneys tangerine dream at day 58 of 12-12 and much troubled by the heat currently sitting at 34c.
one bud had what looked like deformed male flowers seeming even using a scope to be empty sacs as even the obvious still complete flowers are empty no visible pollen so i chopped it off a few days ago and checked carefully and no sign of more.
this i feel is due to the heat stress and tomorrow i have another led coming to replace the aged hps.
some pics from my sunroom of the vegging diesel jones double strawberry seedling and some of the autos in the garden torture chamber both cooked and eaten by various wildlife but some how still alive and growing albeit small.,cheers all
hi all well the sodding heatwave def buggered up my tangerine dream flowering and theres more nannas today good job its near cooked at just under 70 days 12-12 and most of it will be oiled so the odd seed is no real problem but annoying all the same as im now left wondering if the motherplant and clones off her will go pearshaped if stressed,shame as the mother is very big now.
in the bigger drobe is the 2x barneys shiskaberry clones they look ok but have odd mostly 3 pronged foliage not fully palmate,like a poor reveg plant but been under 24hr light to start then 18-6 untill flip a week or so ago.
these suffered less from the heat being led lit there colour looks rather dark so i have stopped veg nutes and given just water for a couple of days before flower nutes get started.
anyhow im dead happy with the new led as said my 2nd purchase of led from my friend @forest and hope later to purchase another for the veg cab but that needs saving up for a bit.
heres some pics taken yesterday night and forgot till today,i blame the heat!
hi no its similar but not as stable as it made nannas there was a seed in the first test bud so my paranoia may kill the mother and her clone and try the last seed,idk.
yes new light is nice though a bit pink! i just hope we have warm winters from now on lol.
i sowed 4 more autos for the sunroom now tinas cacti are outside wasted space is a no no,cheers
hi all mostly so i dont forget today i moved the 2 diesel jones double strawberry seedlings into my smaller drobe in 9ltr airpots of coco under the new led dimmed to 70% and have fed dutch pro grow nutes at 1.2ec ph varied daily between 5.6 and 6.2.
in the next week or so both will be topped and cloned i even bought new labels to avoid screwups that loose you your favorite strain,still kicking myself and sadly the meant to be replacement i test ran made nannas and has a few seeds seemingly just in the tops of buds so it must have popped nannas out of sight inside the buds,so i have the big mother and her clones but loath to trust it to run indoors again so she is either getting planted out to take her chances or binned which seems sad after nurturing for nearly a year!
in my bigger drobe the barneys shiskaberry clones flipped 8 days ago have preflowers galore and net is 95% filled feed in there is now dutch pro bloom at 1.2 ec ph varied.
i bought 140ltrs of coco a week ago went to pot up today and theres none,bloody missus tina has stole it all for the cacti collection repot,its a large collection!
might buy shares in ugro coco! pics tomorrow night,off to check me stats with new light,peace all and happy growing.
Will come and like your posts when I get the chance. Guessing you’re an old English boy the way you write. I love the game of guess the nationality love the old school CFL setup but you should definitely invest in some LEDs for your space brother IMHO I’ll stick around for this one.
hi and welcome,yes english born and bred!2 of the 3 drobes are led lit but i prefer my cfls for slow vegging and seedlings esp so stick with what works,love my dogs bless them old farts both just like there owners! thanks for looking in,here is the promised pics taken today from all 3 drobes most are labeled for clarity,a tune https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRo9hdbnhVE
and the pics,cheers
hi and sorry for lack of updates but ive just not been feeling in a forum frame of mind,still got my stupid bro and his awful annoying dog here and was only meant to be a month and been nearly 3 now and a 1 bed bungalow with 3 people and 3 dogs is hard to cope with!
but i did manage so far to keep the plants alive and green through the heatwave,thank the lucky stars for led lights!
tbh i have lost all track of how long the girls have been vegging/flowering but the barneys farm shiskaberry has some rather small buddage and lots of odd foliage im guessing down to temps over 34c for 8 days straight and so led been dimmed to around 50% im hoping as it cools down growth will speed up.
in my smaller drobe the vegging diesel jones double strawberry has filled 2/3rds of the net and is the strangest smelling weed i have smelt in 40 yrs,smells just like raw sausages!i suspect this will change as they mature,well i hope so.
then the tiny veg cab has 1x barneys tangerine dream which takes up 70% of the space,1x shiskaberry and some clones and houseplants vegging and rooting as well as weed.
hi all well atlast i have my house back and have managed a few pics tonight from my drobes,first up are diesel jones double strawberry been vegging for about 4-5 weeks and being flipped tomorrow.
next is the tiny veg cab jammed full of tangerine dream,then the bigger drobe with 2x barneys shiskaberry clones at 28 days 12-12 and i thought them a bit small for this stage, then worked out the dimmer switch is faulty reducing output and am awaiting replacement in the post,5 yrs of use and the seller is sending replacement dimmer free of charge,@forest is best seller of led i have 3 in service and saving for 4th for veg cab.
pics are labeled for clarity and i shall leave you with a tune,peace all.
hi all here is a small update from my 3 drobes along with some pics and a tune,
well things are all back to normal in my house i took the kids home monday and have spent a lot of time since playing catch up with the drobes.
and think im about where i should be now,however the shiskaberry from barneys farm has had 40 odd days 12.12 and is pathetically small buds due to the now 5 yr old quantum board dimmer switch going faulty reducing light output down to minimum for most of the 12.12 so far,so thanks to @forest for sending the replacement dimmer which was dead easy to fit and took 10 minutes and after fitting i turned it on and damn near blinded myself!great service from our forest,def better than the big sellers as well as cheaper! but hopefully the little buds pictured here should vastly improve size over the next few weeks.
of course this will require a longer flowering now and this upsets all the other drobes as means now ive to try hold back the massive (for a small drobe) barneys tangerine dream for maybe another month no fecking chance!
so she may get flipped under the tiny 115w little curly cfls and then moved under the bigger light later to finish.
and in my smaller drobe the diesel jones double strawberry is now on day 5 of 12.12 under the new led set to full power and turned on the red strip for flowering,question if anyone can tell me on the new light it has ir and uv when do you change these?ie at what point in flower should i switch them on?and for how long? pics and sorry there rather poor.
right well even after 2 sprays 3 days apart of pyrethrum the damn mites are laughing at my puny attempts to be rid of them did you know you cannot tazer them? to small.
so im at the point of having given them 74 days 12-12 3 weeks of which was under faulty light so led was on lowest setting also having bro here,then the kids i rather took my eye off the ball hence the mites getting a foothold before i noticed.
in the last 5 days theres little to no new pistils no sign of fattening anymore so i reckon there buggered!
so flushed and going to wait till they loose a little green colour,but will they? no good even going by trichomes as theres a right old mix every colour possible and some never seen before! so as soon as they come down the drobe is getting a super strength cleaning and the tangerine dream moved in,
i have some nice clones of both the shiskaberry and the double strawberry that need vegging for a couple of months so rather than waste them i shall suffer a reduced harvest instead and hope and pray to the ganja gods to be kinder next run as it means im soon going to be potless and tinas oil will be less and she really needs it she is in so much pain.
anyhow heres some pics of the drobe occupants taken tonight,i think you will agree mites suck big hairy balls! heres the new stick figure album,enjoy i did! [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqQr64kZzAM&t=2137s[/youtube]
right well hi all and here is another update from my drobes,only the 2 flower drobes tonight as veg cab is boring atm.
first up i have harvested the barneys shiskaberry from the bigger drobe a sad waste of time money and space as i ended up with about 2.5 oz from both the plants together due to much slackness on my part combined with a faulty dimmer on the led dimming it down about 60% for a month or so of flower and add to that the borg attack the poor buggers did not stand much chance!
so with the drobe as thoroughly cleaned and bug sprayed i replaced shiskaberry with barneys tangerine dream ex motherplant which was vegging under the tiny 115w cfl for last few months she was massive and nearly filled the net so she straight on 12-12 she is in a 15ltr airpot of ugro coco and has masses of roots and lots of budsites,just hope she is happier and remains all girl as previous stressed run of her had a few seeds in the top buds only 6 or so and do not look fully formed,fingers crossed.
2nd up is the smaller drobe with diesel jones double strawberry at 20 days 12-12 2 phenos a tall one and a squat one both still smell like raw sausages! there getting nicely sticky though.
thanks for looking in,peace all
Cool thread you have, enjoying the music and the beautiful pics as well, of course. Will have to catch up in here. I love that you say your dog is your shadow. I used to have a tag…smokey’s shadow…because smokey was the cat and I was her shadow…thanks for the memories! Cheers and happy Growin!
hi dendro im glad you like the tunes and pics cos i took a few more tonight after a tidy and trim,my hands smell like raw sausages now!
cheers for looking in and kind comment,heres tune and pics from tonight at 25 days 12-12 and 5 days 12-12 respectively.
hi all so five days on and much growth has happened the double strawberry in the smaller drobe has 2 phenos a tall and a short one and as per normal the biggest bestest bud is in the left hand corner idk why but guess they like the reflected light from the insulation either way that corner rocks!
so 25 days 12-12 under 250w quantum led.
and theres some pics from the bigger drobe with the tangerine dream scrog filling out the net nice so far and im aiming for every hole full this time or it grinds my nerves the whole grow,hate empty holes!
as you can see in pics theres a strange purple patch on mainstem seems to be growing but plant is the best growing of the 2 just never seen so much and so vivid purple on the mainstem rather than branches,odd.
didnt bother with veg cab pics its boring stuff.
tune and pics,cheers for visiting and happy growing all.
love the old school CFL setup but you should definitely invest in some LEDs for your space brother IMHO 
I’ll stick around for this one.
