Looking good! Now you could, if you desire, do a little strategic defoliation to get light to the lower bud sites of your plants. I just remove the oldest leaves that are also blocking light to the lower parts. Nothing crazy. Just a little makes a big difference. It will increase your final yield.

beyond removing dead leaves (a few down low) i will not do any leaf removal until a few days before harvest.

Gave the girls a good watering yesterday, doubled up the fertilizer to two capfuls per 2 l jug (125 ppm). I know I could give them more but want to take it easy with the nutes as my water is already at 1500 ppm before anything is added.

Ladies are showing no health problems that i can see.

they look good !! lem em' grow

Day 19 of flowering. Ladies are getting to work, and it is showing.

looks good nice grow cant to start to see the bud porn

Day 23 of flowering.

Looking real good, love that stretch. Good luck?

Are you planning on trimming the lowest parts of the canopy at all or letting it die off naturally? Or does it seem like these lights are getting enough penetration?

Going to let the leaves die off on their own.

The Plasma penetrates the canopy in most areas to a depth of 12-16", but not the four far corners. The HPS seem to have about 8" or so into the canopy.

Comments on "LSD the strain" by barneys farm


At this point I can safely say out of 20 plants 4 where short phenotypes. Two are really short (22"). If I had an extra tent and knew how to clone I would have taken the two shortest girls and cloned them for a perfect hieght sea of green, with the lights I have (penetration depth) they are the perfect hieght.

3 were slightly (36") taller than the rest of the ladies at 32".

So that means 13/20 of these seeds produced plants exactly the same hieght. Pretty consistant overall. Enough variation in height to give some room for breeding a personal strain (for those who can).

Can't make any judgement on flowering characteristics, just not observant enough. But there are four ladies who look to have better flowers than the rest. Will keep an eye on them and report what i see.

Gave all the girls a good watering yesterday. Did 3 capfuls of bloom organic fertilizer in a 2L jug. Up from previous watering a week or so ago.

I know the girls can handel some more, but i want to ramp it up and down slowly, so far girls showing no signs of nutrient deficiancies, and growth seems good.

I figure come week 6 I will start tapering off with the fertilizer and be nut free by week 8 so week 10 is a clean and pure product.

Thoughts on this approach? Should i just avoid the tapering off and just cut nutes on week 8?

This is the RO water filter I would buy: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005LJ8EXU/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2AB4EJKHRN74A. It runs about $180 and puts out 75 gallons of pure water and it says it gives back minerals such as ionized calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium ion. Its an investment but you have plenty of water that could be perfect. When I first started out I only had a 1000W HPS for three plants in a tent. The temperature got up to 91 degrees but it didn't seem to hurt the plants. The soil dried out fast but that was all. I'm using a digital dimmable 600W MH now but will change the bulb for flowering. I have the fan on a Variac transformer to slow it down by 25% and its a lot quieter. Nice layout and I'm wondering how you will water those plants in the middle. Best of luck on this grow.

The tent is 5x5 and the pots take up 4x4 so its like that parking lot game, trying to get to the middle ones , but i get them.

Day 26 of flowering, time for some individual shots of my ladies just a bit shy of four weeks of flower. Note the indica and sativa variations within this strain (LSD by barneys farm).




6-7 weeks of flowering left depending on each individual plant. Will harvest one at a time based on how the trichromes look under the jewler lens.
