3 Barney's Farm Auto Strains

Today is day 28, tomorrow starts week 5. Pistols started showing towards the end of last week. They quickly went from pre to flower. The 3 that were a topped were a little behind the others to start flowering. Once they were clearly in flower, I added an extra hour of darkness for 4 hours rest, 20/04. The little Runtz, runt has not shown any pistols yet, she is stacked, cute and small. There have been a couple light defoliations down lower. The lower fan leafs were shaded, removing them makes it easier to water and improves the airflow. Those that were topped were bunching up at the tops, now the 4 tops have risen up and started separating. We should get some big colas. Having variety is great, but meeting the individual needs nutritionally can be a challenge. As these transitioned, 1 strain was very green, where some others had yellowing fan leafs, showing a real need for Mg. Yesterday I supplemented Mg using disolved Epsom salts, upped the P&K and watered to runoff for the 2nd time. Today, I already see an improvement in color. This is my first run with the Mars FC-4800. The light is intense for this space. It’s been at 75% power since the 2nd week. A few leaf tips have been slightly scorched as they grew taller. It seemed like I was always moving the light up for awhile. Now the light is at 21” and I plan to increase the lights intensity to 90% for flowering soon. Looking back at this week’s pictures, I couldn’t be happier with the growth. Happy grows.
