Barney's Farm - Tangerine Dream - Waterfarm!

Your gonna have some king kong donkey dick colas there my friend.

Hey matatan - the next grow will be 2 identical waterfarms, side-by-side in my bigger tent. I'll be growing using this same method exactly, except with 2x 600w MH/HPS cooltube lights. The strains are going to be: Barney's Farm - Vanilla Kush, and TGA Subcool - Ace of Spades. It should be VERY interesting what the 600w lights will do with this setup...can't wait!!

2 very nice strains!! would suck if one turn out to be a male tho, are you growing from seed or clone? i def will be tuned it to that. i got me some jilly bean at the moment 3 weeks in veg. il post pics in here IF its worth it, IF its worthy enough to be in this thread or your other one lol. good stuff man

Yeah - I can already tell it's going to be an interesting harvest. These buds are loooooooong and not quite as solid as the more indica-type buds I've grown to be used to. I'll need to give these some extra time to thicken up here towards the end - and it looks like they have the potential to pack on some nice weight yet...we'll see. So far so good!

I've only ever grown from seed... so yes it's always a concern with getting a male, but the VK is feminized. The Ace of Spaces are regulars, but we'll pray to the weed gods before hand and then it'll be good to go!! It will be an opportunity to grow-out a male plant in order to collect some pollen for later experimentation if nothing else... The seeds look super fresh though - can't wait to see what they can do! Since I've already grown out the VK with amazing results, I have some high expectations for that one - but with the results I've had with it and pretty much all Barney's strains so far, I'm not worried!

Feel free to post some of your plant pics here! I've heard good things about Jilly Bean!

Ive got 4 vk going 3 in soil 1 in flood and drain. They are all female so far and very healthy. a little strechy.

Awesome - comparing the different strains I've grown so far, Vanilla Kush has proven to be the best overall as far as yield, quality, taste and effects. It's also been the most effective medicinally, being a proven pain-reliever. Having has a variety of strains in our cupboard to choose from over the past few years since starting to grow our own, the Vanilla Kush (9.6 ounces) lasted us an entire year before we ran out, but we admittedly 'sipped' it towards the end, as it was (as still is) our favorite. Needless to say, it wasn't a hard decision to include it again in this year's choices. =)

Very nice grow Dayzt!

Really impressed with the way you've handled Tangerine Dream.

I'm growing Tangerine Dream as well.
It's a bit of a bitch compared to other less temperamental strains but seems to work so far.

Thanks for the nice words k0ijn!

I can't argue with you there - it's not really a 'beginners' strain with the issues seeming to start right at germination through to the crazy stretching and such... but I think it's all going to be worth it in the end! This being my first try at hydro as well, I'm super happy with the results and can't wait to try some easier strains in these waterfarms now for sure. I'm rolling the dice in my next grow using a regular seed instead of fem - Ace of Spades from TGA. It looks to be an awesome Indica hybrid from crossing their Jack the Ripper and Black Cherry Soda strains. No worries though - a few blessings from the ganja gods and it's be a girl - thinking positive!

Aye it really is showing issues straight from germination, hopefully it will be worth it in the end ye

For a first hydro you are doing very well, excellent results mate.

I don't know the particular strain but it sounds like a great one

I have a Cinderella 99 growing, not feminized either, I am praying to the ganja gods as well!

booo.... f that. I haven't logged on in two weeks and I still cannot leave rep...

I'm a webmaster myself and I'm pretty positive the settings on rep could be changed to a time interval rather than the current set up. You know, where it would only allow you to rep someone 1-3 times weekly. Just a thought.

Great lookin girl, can't wait to see how much she yields and your smoke report. Keep it green!

Thanks man - yeah, i'm not sure how reputation is set - it appears to force you to give rep to a certain number of other users before you can give more to someone.

Ok ladies and gentlemen...here's anothe pic update. It's been 5 days since the last one so I thought i'd better post'em before peeps starting asking..lol I got some really nice shots this evening - the color is still off from the HPS light, but there's some nice soft effects in these. Enjoy!!

 

[chunkydunkynug]

wow. a bit late. but subb'd.

reppup ++

 

[youngdog]

Hell yeah i glad to hear you liked it so much. I am so impressed by your growing style. anyhow great job on the tangerine dream. I was on the fence about growing it but after seeing yours i got faith now.

Cool. Yeah, she's not the easiest plant to start but once it takes off it's super-vigorous. It's turning out to be a bit of a longer flowering time than I expected, but I'll be patient with her.

 

[Dr.Amber Trichome]

can we see some more breath taking pictues please.

 

[Dayzt]

Lol...It'll be the weekend before I have more pics this week - I couldn't see much change from the previous batch of pics aside from a little more 'thickening up' on a few tops. I'm actually quite impressed with how some of the lower nugs are ripening up - should be a nice harvest, although I can already tell that it will be a ton of work to chop and trim this big-ass bitch...heh. I think it's safe to say that she won't get harvested all in one day - or even in one weekend... I'll like have to leave some of the lower buds longer than others, as the bigger tops closer to the light will come down first and then the bottom stuff will get another week or 2. As far as when harvest will officially begin, I'm thinking sometime mid to late August...

 

[Dr.Amber Trichome]

Thank you for the update Dayzt! I am looking foward to all these events unfolding here in your wonderful journal.
I should be harvesting around the same time.
Am i correct to assume that this plant will have taken approximately 5 months to mature to harvest time?
How much do predict your yield will be? Whenever we look at your girl we just cant believe our eyes.
take it easy..

 

[steeZz]

This shits all off 400W? I saw the video and pictures but couldnt find exactly if you switched from the 400 to the 600...

if this is all off 400, fucking props man holy shit... I have a 400W setup and you are like the silver lining to my cloud

Hey man - thanks! Today is day 122 since sprout, and day 59 of flower - so yeah, it's been about that long, or will have come mid-August... but I'm in the middle of week 9 of flowering this week.

I really don't know what to guess as far as dry weight that we'll yield from this plant, but I would hope that we'll at least come in at around 12 ounces.

Lol - yeah man, I had a 600 w bulb in my 400 w ballast for about 2/3 of the veg time, but it wouldn't have given more than 400 w of light... and when that bulb burnt out, I put in my 400w HPS conversion bulb since that's all I had at the moment (400w MH mag ballast). As nice as it looks, there's some fairly leafy buds that will make for some long hours of trimming - but also a nice amount of trim for making bubble-hash as well. As with Scottyballs' grow, having the small enclosed space with the mylar covered walls helps make extra use of the light and thus the bigger plant. It's funny, 'cause my last 2-3 grows were in a bigger tent with 600w lights, but I'm having better success than I've ever had this time, using just a 400w....goes to show how much the waterfarm outperforms soil in my grow-room!

 

[Dayzt]

I happened to get a few quick shots this evening....enjoy!!!!

 

[matatan]

how did you manage to take away the orange from the hps????
