N420 Grows Barney's Farm Orange Sherbert & Special Guests

[N420]

Day after the defoilation everyone seems to be doing ok. I gave them all a drink tonight of plain ph water. I like to do 2 feeds and then a plain water thought out the grow to keeps the salts under control. With these I have had good success with not getting any tip burn like I did in my 2 previous grows It could be because these girls can handle the food better.

I have always been back and forth on the defoilation about the rewards vs the stress it might cause. This defoil has been the most I have done to date I think it will work out positively for me this time as I was down watering the plants I was admiring how much light was getting to the lowers and dreaming of big beautiful buds

I was wondering if I should reduce my feed after the defoil my ppm was 1120 at my last feed which is just under full strength. What do you guys do?

That was a nice and sensible defol. Just leave it at that for now and see how they respond. They should barely slow up at all. Regarding the nutrients after a defol personally I don't usually reduce them. You could drop it back to a 1000ppm for a few days and just observe them. They're still looking great N420!

Thanks for the advice prof I will try a reduced feed next time and see how it goes

I have a decision to make maybe you guys can help me out

I took some clones of Os about a month ago they rooted in about 3 weeks. I ended up with 8 out of the 10 cuttings I took turn into successful clones they don't look the greatest but I'm just happy they rooted as it was my second try at clones and the first did not go well

I have been putting them outside during the day because I don't have a light available for them right now. The problem is I noticed thrips on them 2 days ago and don't really want to bring them into my tents as am worried about getting thrips in my tent's and not being able to get rid of them

Quick update

Getting the snips and the dry rack ready these ladies are getting the chop in 3 days. Had a look with my scope tonight 10-15 % Amber's smells great in there.

The blue cookies is starting to open up a little from the weight of the buds. They are not big but quite dense and super frosty I think it will be my favorite smoke.

The white banner grew some nice big buds with very few leaves will be a treat to trim even the lower stuff is of a decent size. lots of orange hairs on her, Its been fox tailing I have the light zip tied to the top of the tent to get it as high as I can but even that was to close

Os tent

We are at the first day of week 4 almost half way it has flown by everyone has there leaves up and seem to be loving life. Had a close look when I defoiled and tonight and thankfully no sigh of thrips seeing them on the clones has made me a little paranoid just going to keep a watchful eye on things.

Some nice stacking

Of course my over head bucket shots

Thanks for stopping by. I have checked through your journal nice looking plants and your reason for growing is very inspiring.

I have loved the Orange Sherbert my favorite strain to date really vigorous grower in veg with that classic indica structure

Os clone update

They are starting to get some new growth which is exciting, I kinda underestimated how long it would take to see some new growth since this is my first successful clone attempt 3 weeks to get roots and a couple of more weeks for them to start growing again.

I'm still dealing with thrips on them they seem to be only effecting 2 of them at this point. I sprayed all the plants last night with Doktor Doom plant spray as recommend by the grow shop it's a contact spray and was told to repeat spraying every 2 to 3 days. I also learned that thrips lay their eggs in the soil and then the young one come out of the soil and onto the plants , the grow shop recommend using nematodes a beneficial microscopic worm that eats the larvae in the soil but they are quite pricey. I may try diatomaceous earth as a cheaper option. What do you guys think is the best approach to get rid of these thrips?

Few pics of the clones you can see thrip damage on a few of the leaves

With all that being said I decided not to risk bringing them into my indoor garden but will leave them outside for the summer and see what they can do

So instead of the clones for my next run I asked my wife what strain she would like for me to grow next. I grow for her primarily she uses marijuana to help with her insomnia and to deal with arthritis. Her choices were peyote critical and Gorilla Zkittlez....

And she chose

Will be dropping these into a cup of water in a day or 2

 

[N420]

Quick update this morning before I head to work.
I dropped 4 Gorilla Zkittlez seeds in a cup of water last night, when I got up this morning they had sunk to the bottom of the cup. If they are anything like the Os seeds they will have taproots when I get home today

Fingers crossed
