Ohhh man, it took me about 3 hours to read your journal... I know i'm late but congratz man! Very impressive for a 250w grow.

I also have a 250w set up. I got 3 Barney's Amnesia Lemons and 1 Tangerine Dream vegging right now.
I'm not sure if I can scrog 2 of the Amnesia Lemons and one Tangerine Dream together, as the TD might stretch much more... and would take up all the space on that screen.

You said you switched them when they were 10inches, but for how long did u veg them?
Also, you got rid of that sativa pheno that didnt want to flower... When can I tell if my TD is that pheno or not?

Ill come back and answer your questions Monday, I'm on my way out the door for the weekend..

Only vegged a few weeks, expect four or 5x stretch..

You can read your leaves, and plant structure to try to determine the pheno... if you know what indica grows like and know what sativa grows like you'll be better off ;)

ok man have a good one.
I dont know how much you can tell from a week old Tangerine Dream, but compared to the Amnesia Lemons (had a 5 days head start), the leaves of the TD are much smaller..

OK I'm back ;)

thanks for reading so long, I was hoping people would be able to find this start to finish, as I didn't have access to such journals..

if your running 3 plants, under a 250w, you might be in a little trouble.... I could hardly fit 2 fully mature tangerines in 3.5 gal pots.. no SCROG though

If you want to keep all 3 I would probably reccomend flowering really early into veg... If I was going to grow tangerine dream again, I would flower around 4-6 INCHES. Seriously.

Usually with SCROG you want to have individual strains on the screen, under a light.... so that if one plant stretches more than the other, it doesn't detriment the other smaller plants that could use the light a little closer.

But to each his own :)

I don't remember how long i vegged, like 2-3 weeks probably.


I got rid of the sativa pheno because it was stretching like nuts, way more than the others... and I didn't want to keep raising the light for one plant.


Honestly the only way to tell will be when you flip to flower... if it takes like 20 + days to show pistils, then you probably have the highly sativa pheno... but maybe not! If you post pics of it, I might be able to tell give you an idea of the genetics..

Thanks for getting back at me...

Ok so here some pictures of a my tangerine dream, vegging for 9 days now.
In that 2nd picture the TD is next to an Amnesia Lemon, 14 days old. 5 days difference due to the TDs slow start.
In comparison, the Amnesia Lemon has some big ass leaves, and quite thick stems for this stage. But in height, from first node to the top, they both are about the same height, 2.5inches.
I find the TDs spacing between the nodes are pretty close as well. And at this point, I find that the TD appears healthier and more solid than the Amnesia Lemons. (The leaves on the Amnesia Lemons are wavy, curling down)

So is this pheno familiar to you?

EDIT: I dont know where the unhappy face at top comes from

still very early, but doesn't look like crazy sativa or anything... looks like my really strong growing, frosty plant that took 110 days.... more sativa dominant, but not the sativa pheno that seemed to lack any type of indica genetics..

Your better off with the TD being smaller than the amnesia... you could keep the TD at half the amnesia's height when you flower, then your screen might be more manageable...

Looks like I vegged up to a month.. now that im checking my photos... but I did top them, and let the tops thrive before I flowered..


heres a pic from day 25

\

I kept the two in the front, I tossed the two in the back..... The back left was the HIGHLY sativa pheno, and stretched even moreso than the others.... the back right is the retarded pheno, which wasn't doing so good....

the front left is the indica pheno, which finished at 96 days flower... had a good hashy smell, but not as FRUITY or POWERFUL as the front right..... The front right was the strongest, frostiest, most resilient and steadily growing plant of them all... The front right took 117 days for me, but could have been chopped around 110.


I hope that helps, I think you may need another week or two of fan leaves before you can start judging the genetics... watch the stem structure, and node spacing rather than the leaves.. :)

Ok here she is now... 23 days old (3rd from left). The other plants (Amnesia Lemons) are 5 days ahead.
At 6 inches shes short, internodes very tight. But the side branches have yet to develop.
She appears healthier than the ALs.

Are u familiar with this pheno? Any idea regarding flowering time and stretch? lol

looks nice and short and stout to me.... id keep it in that smaller pot... good call.

i cant reallllly tell unless you get some pics of the nodes/branching and tell me how many days it takes to show flowers....... the leaves are pretty tricky to guess on but if I had to I would say yours is looking a little sativa more than indica?

It was fun catching up on this. I like finding grows at the end. Lets see some pics of the buds curing. I just grabbed a tangerine dream bean off my buddy. Gonna pop it tomorrow. :)

i have have a sativa pheno of TD she looks 100% sativa going right now she is in week 11 right now still stretching and sprouting fresh pistols but she is filling in and starting to mature trichs are mostly cloudy about 30% are still clear i will pull at 20-30% amber. In early flower she smelled like tangerines and mango but now she smells like tangerines and 20 other things i cant identify lol.
i took two clones off of her to see how she performed when 12/12 from start and she is a monster 1 clone is 18 inches tall one cola the whole plant and the other clone is 2feet and 90% of the whole plant is 1 main cola i have mine under a 400 watt mh and a 150w hps no co2 100% coco using technafloras recipe for success

Very beautiful. I just popped a Barneys Tang Dream bean, putting it in a pot today. I think im just gonna throw like 4 or 5 clones of TD into my tent with my Midnight Kush and see how it compares.
