N420 Grows Barney's Farm Orange Sherbert & Special Guests

They look lovely!

Good thing you staked them too.
:bravo:
Thanks Bvb, they are just starting to get a bit floppy now, since I quaded them they have nice strong branches so they are pretty good for the most part but need a bit of support now. I actually have about 15 plant yo-yo’s zip tied to the roof of the tent and have a few of them holding up some branches as well.
 
Hey Mr. N! :ciao:

May I grab a seat? Kheh kheh little late to the party. Really had to tune myself in here as you've got a very neat setup there my friend! Are these auto irrigated hempies? And your led boards also look like my Samsung lm301b board's! Any idea if it's the same board (that one single panel - looks like 4 total)

Update for Planet of the Grapes Day 32 since flip.( pics from day 30)

Well the plants and I made it through another 5 day absence, it went fairly smoothly.There was a few spots on the upper most leaves on the tallest lady in the tent which I think is a result of the lights being a bit too close but could also be from just getting plain water while I was away.

I meant to set up a feeding in the res for the watering system before I left but ran out of time trying to get everything ready for the camping trip. Had them set up to be watered every other day for 2 minutes after test running it for a few days before I left.

Quick pic dump of the water system setup.


102 litre tote for my rez with 1500 GPM pump.
3/4 inch pvc supply line.


Kinda a bad pic but that’s the manifold for the 1/4 lines that go to each pot.


Round emitter for watering, the green pad helps distribute the water.


I added a 8ft x 1 ft flood table to deal with the run off as the saucers I use would have filled up way faster.

And now a plant photo bomb





Getting some nice flower development with the girls giving me their best Guy Feiri impression!






Doesn’t show up in the pics too well but they are getting pretty frosty!

Happy Growing everyone!

For sure this will be cool to follow! :cool:
Have a great night

Hey Verb happy to see you, and thanks for stopping by!

I’ll give you a quick run down on what I got going on, these ladies are being flowered out in my 4x8 tent, you were right about the lights the one light is an Hlg 550 it has 4 boards on it and draws 480 watts at full power. I’ve had it for about 3 years, I can’t remember the exact diode’s it has but they are Samsung. I have a second light in there as well, it’s an Hlg 260 and has 2 boards on it. I’ve had it for 4 years and again not sure of the diodes it has but pretty certain they are Samsung as well.

I would like to get a bar style light at some point to replace the 2 board light to get more even coverage across the canopy but for now it does the trick.

I grow in Pro Mix Hp, I’ve messed around with Dwc a few times but I’m most comfortable with Pro Mix.

I added the watering system a while ago just to cut down on the leg work a bit, I’ve mostly hand watered for most of my time growing and I’ve had good success with it but the water system has allowed me to be a bit less hands on which has been nice.


Looking great in there N! If you haven't zip tied the light up I recommend you let the tallest ones lean over (since you have the space), or even lean them over if they don't tip. That way all the buds get the most light they can handle without burning.

Thank you Shed! I actually had already zip tied the light before I saw your post. I will say your suggestion has intrigued me through and something I will definitely keep in mind the next time I run into this issue…I’m quite certain I will be dealing with it again lol.

Thanks for the summary! :)
Ye if I remember right those HLG boards are the same Samsung lm301b's but there was Osram or Bridgelux 660nm red diodes (my red leds were Epistar's, cheaper ones)

Sounds you've got everything under the control! :bravo:
 
We knew her when!
I know right!
I could see the video. I’m guessing it’s our 420 celeb, Miss Newty?
Hey Hh, it is Miss Newty she will be a special guest on an upcoming live stream tonight at 6:00! It’s a growers live stream that comes on every Saturday that I try to catch when I can. I noticed that Miss Newty was going to be the guest this week and thought some of my 420 Fam might like to check it out!
 
Update Planet of the Grapes Day 46

Not a whole lot to report as the grow is closing in on the end, I figure these plants have about 2-3 weeks to go.

They have continued to drink at a similar rate as they did earlier in the grow needing water every other day but I imagine a slow down should be coming soon as the finish line is in sight.
I’ve made some adjustments to my environment in the tent in preparation for the final push, I’ve lowered my temp to 79 degrees and brought my Rh down to 65% as compared to 82-83 degrees and 70% I was running for the majority of flower. I’ve dropped the temps to try and bring out some colour in the buds and to not burn up all the terps with the higher heat I was running earlier. I was under the impression these could go purple but I’m not seeing even a hint of that so far…oh well.

The yellowing on the tallest girl has basically stopped after raising the light up to the ceiling of the tent, I have bumped the intensity up slightly with no I’ll effects ( 800 Ppfd )











Apologize for the not so hot group shots, plants to tall and I can’t get far enough away to get any decent pictures but you get the idea.

Happy Growing Everyone.
 
Beautiful plants and those buds look fantastic. I know my Purple Haze didn't start showing purple until the fade, right before harvest.

Thanks Lka Budman! Been pretty happy with things so far.
That’s interesting to hear your Purple Haze didn’t show purple until the fade, Im probably a week out from seeing any fade I would think.
It’s funny because I’ve grown purple strains before and normally they show their colour quite early!
 
Very nice lookers N, whether purple or not!

Remember, there are purple grapes and green grapes! :)

Mamma mia the size of those leaves! 3500K reddish color temp has a big effect I believe. But any idea what kind of N:K ratio you've?
Even tho theres some Ca/P- (Purpling interveinal) visible on the leaves which I believe is because of the led fixture (exactly same kind of symptoms as I do have) I bet you've pretty high K ppm?

Oh and I did read some study how red supplemental lighting raises plant Potassium need and cations such as K, Ca, Mg & Fe competing with each other increases. Doing a little own amateur study about it. Wanna help me later with couple things if I pm you? ..As you also had photone app available?

Have a great weekend!

Dat frost doh. :eek:

Going to be a fun 2-3 weeks that's for sure!
Thanks Shed, they aren’t disappointing in the frost department! Gonna be fun bringing these ladies across the finish line!
Bring ‘em on home now N. Nice lookin buddage, my friend! :thumb:
Thank you Hh! They are well on their way, The breeder suggests they are a 9 week strain, Im at the middle of week 7 today so not to much longer!
Beautiful and yummy looking garden! :yummy:
:thanks: Candy, I’ve been very pleased with the genetics on this run Ethos has not disappointed!
Mamma mia the size of those leaves!
Thanks Verb this pic is for you!


Your right these plants have put out some massive leaves, as a perspective I’m 6 foot 2, 220 lbs so I’m not a small guy!

But any idea what kind of N:K ratio you've?
I’ll be honest, I have no idea lol.
bet you've pretty high K ppm?
Not sure, but the K number of the N P K of my nutes is pretty high.

I use Flora Flex Nutrients, it’s a 4 part powered nutrient line The NPK breaks down as follows

B1 14-0-22

B2 0-28-18

Bulky B 0-14-43

You run these for the majority of flower B1 and B2 are added in equal parts, Bulky B is normally a gram or 2 higher based on what week of flower it is.

The last 2 weeks you run Full Tilt 0-47-35
By itself.

The percentage of K in each part are as follows

B1 22%
B2 18%
Bulky B 43%
Full Tilt 35%


Oh and I did read some study how red supplemental lighting raises plant Potassium need and cations such as K, Ca, Mg & Fe competing with each other increases. Doing a little own amateur study about it. Wanna help me later with couple things if I pm you? ..As you also had photone app available?
Sounds interesting Verb! Feel free to send me a Pm and I’ll try my best to help you out.
 
Update Planet of the Grapes Day 51 since flip.

Another pic dump update today, the plants are bulking up nicely and have needed more support over the last few days. The plant yo yo’s have really come in handy, it’s hard to get stakes worked through the jungle to get them stuck into the pots so having the yo yo’s hanging from the roof makes getting support into the right places a breeze!











Happy Growing Everyone!
