Thanks man! I've had great luck with BF. This will be the third and fourth strains i've done now from BF. We've enjoyed the Blue Cheese and Red Dragon as well...

what kind of light are you using and how many watts?

I'm using 2x HPS 600w cooltubes for this tent. The lights have digital ballasts that automatically switch between the MH and HPS bulbs but since this tent is only for flowering, I haven't used the MH bulbs in them at all.

These seeds were germinated back in the beginning of March - they were in veg for 7 weeks before going into flowering and are now just over 2 weeks into flower.

I'm interested in seeing how that VK turns out, so I'll be sticking around. Thanks for the great pix so far.

Great to have you join in YG!

Tomorrow will be the 2.5 week mark for flowering. Things are look great so far! The plants are really soaking up the rainwater and will get another drink tomorrow evening when the lights come on.

Here's a picture update - the buds are starting to show more and more distinction and filling out at the top of some really thick stems! I hope that means they will really bulk up - we'll see.

Looking good bro.

Thanks auto! By the look of them right now, i'm hoping to get about an ounce and a half per VK plant at least 1 ounce from the Crimea Blue. I like to underestimate the yield at this stage in the grow, as it's looking a bit like my second grow which I grossly underestimated and almost doubled my expectations...

That's awesome Wiz! This strain really took off about 3 weeks into veg and I hardly used any veg nutes as they didn't appear to need any - but this is a soil grow, so i'm sure you'll find out what they like in hydro! I'm pretty convinced that using rainwater is the way to go - no need to pH adjust it and i've gotten really healthy, fast growing plants using it. Hopefully we'll get enough rain this spring/summer to keep the girls happy!

I haven't been able to find many other VK grows online yet, so when you get going you'll have to put up some pics!

Welcome aboard!

Hey ultimate - thanks for dropping in! I know there's some sour opinions out there towards BF, but this is my third and fourth strain from Barney's now that i've grown out (all feminized seeds) and haven't had a single hermie so far! The blue-cheese was great and the red dragon was super awesome...can't wait to see what these girls will do - very aggressive growth and flowering so far, so I have no doubt these ones will turn out to be something special as well!

I actually have some pineapple chunk waiting on deck for one of my next grows...I may grow 3 of them in my next round along with either some blue mystic or brainstorm seeds - still can't decide!

yes just saw the pineapple punch on bf site looks sick, always go barneys when i am in dam and never dissapointed with there products always top notch

 

[grow plenty]

Couldn't agree more with you guys - we've yet to make it to Amsterdam, but we'll def be making a trip in the next few years. BF strains have been awesome in my grow room and I can't wait to try out their Triple Zero and Royal Jelly hash when we're there as well... =)

I'm 100% sold on using rainwater for all my plants - not just the mj, my tomatoes and peppers all get rainwater when it's available.

It's already been 3 weeks of flowering for the ladies and they are going strong! Most of their energy is focused on the bud development now, so i'm hoping to see them really bulk up now. The next watering will include a regular dose of flowering nutes, as they look like they can use it!

Enjoy the pic update!

Very nice those are the two barney strains I was looking at along with LSD.
Can't wait to see turnout, 6weeks on that VK?
