A Four Strain Barney’s Farm Grow

I hate fungus gnats. I use diatomaceous earth. Have you ever tried using it? After watering and the top soil becomes dry I will sprinkle DE over the entire surface of the soil. If any wets spots appear sprinkle some more. Then wait until the soil is completely dry and plants just start to wilt, water again and repeat. Usually the completely dry soil will drive them out and once they touch DE...ded. I also use the yellow sticky monitoring traps with squares on them placed around the top soil. Its awesome to watch the daily numbers of gnats drop just by using DE.
Thanks EZ. I haven't tried the diatomaceous earth for the gnats yet. Its good to know there is another remedy. Somehow they come in from outside, its green and it can stay rather damp. I have good luck with the BT/solbac added with water. The soil does need to be drenched. The 1st application usually wipes them out. Sometimes a 2nd is needed a week or so later. Last night I treated, now there are dead gnats with a few lazy ones still flying.

A few pre flowers started showing today.
 
Greetings everyone, after an extended break due to unforeseen circumstances this Grow has finally started. My apologies for the abrupt departure, there is not much more I can say.

Up next will be the Kush Mintz, White Widow, Blue Gelato 41 & Critical Kush - The plan is to grow out 2 of each strain, with 3 of 1 strain for a total of 9 plants.

After 36 hours between wet paper towels, 16 of 16 grew tails, 100% success. 3 of each strain were put in starter pots today. These will be grown out with a short veg in 2 gal grow bags.

All are welcome to follow along, participate ask questions, just hang out and/or offer advice. Happy grows :peace:

Late to the party but I Love barneys farm strains al pull up a chair :thumb:
 
Today I prepped & filled the 2 gal grow bags with soil, covered the tops and brought them inside so as to retain as much moisture as possible. Its hot outside, there could also be bugs. The soil was prepped and bulk bagged a couple weeks ago. ID tags were made today from a milk carton. I’ll transplant the best 2 of each strain in the morning for 8, with a bonus Mimosa x. The Mimosa was started a few days after the rest as an afterthought, it will go in a 1 gal. The plan today for all is a short 21 day veg with little to no training.

I'm looking forward to watching these grow out - Kush Mintz, White Widow, Blue Gelato 41 & the Critical Kush.

Happy grows :peace:

Im gunnin for the blue gelato 41 lookin forward to see how that goes. Mayb my next buy.
 
I tried searching for the BT/solbac as I had never heard of it. All I could see is that it is a disinfectant. Is that true? Are you using it as foliar spray or a soil treatment?
Its the BT (Bacillus thuringiensis) that is the effective ingredient. I believe Solbac is just a local brand name. I use it with water/feed mix as a soil drench.

I did some reading up on it and noticed it could be a little tall for my setup possibly a scrog type.plant stretch it sideways

Just noticed the spelling, sorry about that @GreenFingaz :cool:

Thats the cool thing about photos, can flip um early, chop, top and supercrop. Whatever it takes to manage the size. What kind of setup are you working with?
 
Good morning! Even if flipped early, cannabis wants to thrive. Its day 28 and 7 since flipping to 12/12. The lights were kept close and at a high intensity, I think it keeps the nodal spacing tight. I raised the light a few inches yesterday and some plants grew that 2" or 3" overnight. I'm still learning, could have probably flipped this number at 16 or 17 days. We will see. :)

I'm liking the stainless rollers, can easily rotate and roll around the tent for light intensity and hot spots. Remove 1 row and roll/rotate where and how wanted. Pretty cool. Pic heavy, growing fast.

I only use a desktop to browse. Hope you get it figured out. Do you have a journal going? Your plants and setup look perfect. That 2'x4' looks nice. Everything is right there for easy access.

I love growing this plant. Tonight I will introduce the first bloom nutes and cut back on the N. I needed to defoil a bit more this morning. I try and keep as much of the large fan growth as I can until well into or stretch is over. There is lots of touching and transpiration going on now so I had to take more growth than usual. Before lights out this AM, I am running an oscillating fan from outside for a couple hrs. We are stretching, hopefully it is minimal and the nodal spacing stays tight.

The Strawberry Cheesecake from the last run is curing up nice, its looking and tasting good. Smoked half a fatty before starting the tent work. Its nice! :)

Happy grows :peace:
