Paradise Pandora Outdoor

**sonar** · 06-17-2012, 06:18 PM

I have 5 Pandora from Paradise seeds that I thought I would share with you guys. I was introduced to this strain last year shortly after is was released. At the time, Attitude was giving away free 3-packs of Pandora with the purchase of any other pack of Paradise seeds. Ended up buying their AutoMaria II, which was also new at the time, and Pandora and AutoMaria II were my auto grow for last summer. While I was a little unimpressed with AutoMaria II, Pandora was a different story. I liked it so much, I am growing it again this year.

I basically have 2 sets of plants going. The first 3 are 8 weeks old and have been outside for 5 weeks. The second set is 5 weeks old and has only been outside for 2. The younger ones have just recently started flowering. Pandora is a little different than other autos I've grown. She usually stays in veg for around 4 weeks before she shows sex and starts flowering. That's a good thing for me since it allows them to get a little bigger and produce more in the end.

First couple pics are of one that has whorled phyllotaxy, meaning there are 3 sets of leaves per node rather than 2. When it first germinated I was pretty excited since it's the first time I've had one like that.

Any questions/comments/complaints are more than welcomed.

Cool thanks for stopping in guys! I'll be updating it a few more times before chopping.

I am also growing Wappa for the first time. That's still in early early veg though. Wanted to do Sensi Star but it was out of stock everywhere.

What size pots are they in?

**sonar** · 06-19-2012, 11:15 PM

They are all in 3 gallon containers except the plant in the last pic is in a 2 gallon. Somehow I miscounted and realized at the last minute and all I had was a 2 gallon for the last plant.

The smallest plant is the one with 3 leaves per node and I'd say that is around 18" tall. The other 2 that are flowering are about 2'. Not sure what the deal is with the plant in the 2nd to last pic, but it is only 5 weeks old and already taller than the older plants. It really stretched like crazy in the past 2 weeks. Paradise says this strain is 90% indica with 10% sativa, but I can really see some sativa influence in a few of the plants. I was actually going to shoot them an email but hopefully they stop back in and tell us some more about this strain! Kind of curious what they used when they crossed Pandora.

As for Auto Wappa, I believe that is a brand new strain. I start all my plants, not just autos, in 1 quart grow bags full of pro-mix. After about 3 weeks, they get transferred to their final homes in 3 gallon buckets with pro-mix. I really like soiless mixes like pro-mix or sunshine mix. Especially in an outdoor situation where you are going through massive quantities of soil. On top of my autos, I have 10 other full sized plants to contend with this year, so it can get expensive. This year I've been throwing a handful of Fox Farms American Pride in the holes to help supplement hand feedings, which will hopefully be few and far between.

After using sunshine for several grows, and recieving a completely screwed up bag................................. I wouldnt piss on the stuff.

I will say the company did replace the cost's related to the soil, but I was still out the grow time. Coupled with the loss of 6 plants. an expensive lesson learned.
Btw nice looking plants. I will be following this and am going to grow a few pandora's as well.

I just harvested my pandora alil over a month ago. She yielded 68g dry. The smoke was top notch and could not have been happier. I grew it in a ebb and flow setup and she was by far the best looking plant i have ever grown. Im just started my second grow and decided to give vertigo a try by paradise. Have heard nothing but good stuff on that strain as well. Nice plants by the way sonar. You will be happy with the smoke.
