Shame this plants seems to be taking so long. It just fu*ks me off big time when the seeds companies talk sh*t. Barney's farm has gone well down in my pecking order now, not from your plant, but from all the bullshit they told the others who grew this too. Saying that if you'd grown an auto it wouldn't have worked out, as the problems you had at the start would have stunted it.

I think you've clearly got your shit together now and learned loads in this grow. 2000ppm, doesn't that seem a lot? I'm a soil grower, so not familiar with hydro. I've seen some very good grows where they float around 850ppm-1000ppm.

Next grow consider an auto. I think you have the talent and skills to do very well with auto's or photoperiods, but auto's will privide you with a faster harvest. I have grown Barney's Farm Pineapple Express auto a few times. It never goes over day 65 form seed. I've wanted to grow this pineapple chunk for a while, but won't bother now I know she takes ages.

Good luck with the rest of your grow! I'm sure she'll finish well if you give her the time.

Just did a res change the ppm was 3000+ needed to be topped up with water but i dont think she has eaten anything in a week, the roots look white and healthy so no problem there,

i topped it up with water again and letting it flush out any nutes in the hydroton as well, i just check the ppm and its already 1300ppm!!! my water is around 120ppm so still alot of stuff in it, ill leave it for a few hours, dump it again and top up with fresh water and nutes @ 8ml per gal, iv a two gallon res so 16ml of flora nova bloom (worked out @1000ppm), I wanted to go the whole grow without changing the res but i fucked up feeding wen drunk n should have done this last week,

she will get 10 weeks of flower n then has to come down regardless of were she is, its a nice plant to grow taking a while but loads of buds if i had a bigger light and more time she wud be awesum,

hey mossyrocks what's your next grow ? I never did a second round of p/c as it was just difficult due to the stretch the quality wasn't bad I replaced it with superlemonhaze & was much happier across the board

Hey herk yea im tossing up between amnesia lemon or 8 ball kush, ill probably never grow the same thing twice life too short unless i find a strong 8 week sativa.

If i get a shit harvest off this i will defo go for the amnesia but if not the 8 ball to have some variety available, when i lived in holland amnesia haze was my go to, so i have high hopes for AL altho i will probably avoid barneys for a while after this.

if I remember right 8 ball kush is from Barneys farm you should get a pretty decent harvest by the looks of things so far have heard amnesia is good

Day 57
Still 1000ppm
Dont know whats going on but still only topping up with water until i see a dip in the readings, just going off other pics i have seen these buds look around week 5 or 6 and have done for weeks maybe i stunted the growth with too much nutes early on, live and learn
