Barney's Farm - Tangerine Dream - Waterfarm!

[C.Indica]

Yes I've seen those manly wife-rattlers.
Blah blah fat buds blah nice plant blah blah hydro blah tangerines blah blah good job blah brah blah.
No sarcasm intended.

I talk to my plants, but it's annoying to have to have this sweet little voice because it's a bunch of ladies. Next time I get a male I'm gonna keep him and address him as my buddy. Talk to him in a regular low voice. Share beers with him.

Oh and thanks otterman.

What a grow bud! Very impressive! Very nice plant, and under a 400w! From the top view i would have guessed there to be up to 4 plants in there. Good job and thanks for having the cahones to post a journal!

Hey there - thanks for the comments! Indeed it looks like more than one plant from above - a few replies here have obviously assumed it's a group of plants with references to the 'plural'...lol. Yep, one big girl - my future grows will go this same route after seeing this result - if it aint broke...

LOL...I hear ya. Male or female, I'm just a proud daddy..heh. Although if this massive thing were a male...ugh.

The next 100% male plant I get though, I hope to get some pollen for future breeding endeavors. For example, I'm trying out Subcool's 'Ace of Spades' next round, and it's a 'regular' seed. But it's genetics (Black-Cherry Soda x JTR) will be valuable to cross with a sativa dom strain sometime down the road for sure...

 

[Sr. Verde]

That looks fucking awesome Sr.Verde!! I peek at things to come... =) Btw, how much do you figure you yielded in total from your 2 TD phenos?

Thanks man, i have a bunch of harvest pics on my own journal too if you wanted to check those out for a preview...

honestly i've barely gotten into my jars, the first plant is now pushing 7 weeks cure and ive been handing out that stuff because it seems to cheer people up

i think i pulled like.... at least 6 oz wouldn't be suprised if 8 oz ? I was running a 250w hortilux HPS for 96/117 days, with a supplimental 84w of CFl lighting up the side of the canopy.. the sativa had 20 days of being alone in all that light too.... so I don't think it's unreasonable to think I pulled 7 or 8 zips... now if it was a 60 day indica that finished at the same time, then I think the yield would have been far lower.


There is kind of a yield reward waiting those extra weeks (as you are doing) for sure.


How are they chunking out?


PLEASE take before/after dark period pics I'm interested to see... I gave my plants only like 12 hours to a day of darkness before chopping them.. im interested to compare

 

[ironheadxl]

Heres some 6 week cured, 96 day flowering pheno.... rolled up into a nice joint.


smoooooooth, minty/skunky tangerines on the exhale

a hunk of gorgeous bud. Nice one bro.

 

[SHONOFF98]

Sooooooo......................time to chop her down yet???

 

[Dayzt]

Lol....getting closer, but not quite yet. Tonight she'll get real good flush with fresh pH'd rain water, and then I'm putting about 100 ppms back in for the next day or two. Monday and Tuesday next week will be flushes with 'Final Phase' to try and get as much of the left-over nute out of the plant as I can - then just topping up with plain pH'd RO water for the rest of the way. Thursday evening I'll turn off the light timer and give her a full day of darkness, and then Friday evening I plan to chop the entire plant, hang her for the night and start the 'trimming party' Saturday and Sunday - should be some very busy days! The week and a half following harvest will be drying time (about 10 days) and we'll be gone on vacation for most of those days. When we get back, they should be dry enough to transfer everything to jars and start the cure.

 

[Dr.Amber Trichome]

Im so excited Dayzt. Ive been waiting so paitiently for the day. I can just imagine right now how beautiful she will look hanging upside down.I wanna do a waterfarm with Jack Herer for my next grow. I have Scottyballs manual to follow. Are you going to start another waterfarm grow after this one? if so what strain are you going to grow?

Have a pimpers paradise weekend.

Cool man - I checked out your harvest pics - I think we'll be using some paper-plates like that - great idea!

The plant is 'chunking out' rather nicely - I'm seeing BIG buds, but def not solid-thick buds like the more indicas I'm used to. But like i've said - she sheer amount of buds that we're going to get will make up for the density of what I'm used to. =)

I'll try to get some before dark pics tomorrow eve before lights-on. No worries - I plan to take a boat-load of pics before/during/after harvest. I've actually got a lot more than what I've been posting here - just been posting my favorites.

Thanks - you too Dr.A! That's an awesome idea to try a JH in the waterfarm - should turn out great - there's a ton of strains I'd like to grow this way...so much to choose from!

Have a great weekend as well - stay green!!

 

[Dayzt]

Flushed the rez with 16-17 litres of pH'd rainwater last evening - refilled the rez afterwards with ~350 ppms and check it again this evening - it's sitting at about 650 ppms right now as things filter out. Tomorrow night I'll likely drain the rez again and refill it with straight pH'd rainwater for the following 2 days and then it will get it's Final Phase the last 2 days during the dark period before chop time!

I'm not sure if you'll enjoy more going on holidays or returning home

LOL...I hear ya. Oh well, our holidays consist of a 20+ hour road-trip across Canada to visit our parents, so I'm guessing the drive home will be the highlight of our trip. =)

Bloody hell, I hate driving! Have a nice one mate

Wow that is a long way, I complain about driving 16 hours to see family.

 

[Bluezdude]

You guys at the other side of the pond certainly drive a lot!

North America is HUGE. Unlike you guys over in Europe a short few hour drive puts you into another Country! I wish USA was like that.

I'm with you there, I can cross 2 borders in less than 2 hours drive, and a third one in 4. I remember when I was in the Americas I had a sense of loneliness, meaning that in order to find another culture I'd have to take a plane for hours.
