my tangerines 2 are about 4 ft tall the retard and sativa.
i gotta say the indica looks more crystally and what not... but the sativa is a massive fucking plant should produce nice buds.
starting to smell like the orange spice tea more and more tho.

as long as you got that height under control should be good.
o and maybe fictbd (fuck it Chop them bitches down!) lol i like urs better tho

Yo McGyver, you get any blue calyxes?

A lot of my calyxes are turning blue 8) like 40 of them....


Keeping temps 78day......66night



They are looking fucking INCREDIBLE now LOL....... Just watered them with plain water... I was finding some gnats flying around , and a few VERY VERY small gnat larvae on the surface... I torched the fuckers with a butane torch.. including the tiny white larvae that floated up (on wet soil of course).. You don't need to get the flame close the wings just melt... DEAD. pow.

Anyway, going to pick up some neem oil tomorrow or monday... Then going to do a few soil drenches.... dont want that problem to get any worse.. 1tbsp/gal. I'm not in a rush though

Tangerine Dream Day 24 Flower



OK wow so rollitup doesn't even recognize pictures in my folder after day 13 WTF :shock: god damit.




Best shot of the blue calyxes I could get under HPS! You notice how they are darker?

Pretty much how most of the branches on the indica are looking, the hybird and sativa are still getting there.

Very cool journal, just read through all 15 pages and I just had to subscribe. I've got to see these plants at the end as they look so beautiful right now, nice to see so much from the 250w.

Day 26 today

I got the underneath canopy lights on a timer, I need to get some neem oil and do a drench just in case I have gnat larvae.. Found like 8 gnats in my soil... Taking precautionary measures with neem oil ;)

Short update tomorrow

haven't tried tangerine dream, yeah i figured the sativa would flower longer, so I cut it shorter than the others... It's now just catching up... Might cut that shit down if it gets too tall LOL


I figure, if they stop rapid growth by day 35ish then ill be cool.

Looking really nice. I like your use of the cfl, I've got a 65w CFL I had forgotten about, I think I might use it in a similar fashion.

Dude anything that isnt getting light take off. ALl those fan leaves in the shade are wasting space, remove every single large fan leaf. I swear this will double your yield as light will be able to penetrate the lower nugs. These plants are strong .look at my grow. my tangerine dream does not have any large leaves blocking anything. Do it bro, this will also give you room to move branches around. We put our girls into flowering like within a couple days of one another, I am curious how ours will compare. Yours look super healthy and happy

any kind of smell yet verde? I have small amounts of resin heads showing up on my td2 heavy td1(not so much). I have a very faint citrus smell atm. guess it'll start to pack on soon. I'm on day 31today(39-54day to go)

The heavy sativa pheno I hate so far, well hate a harsh word. I dont care for it atm, hoping it wont have to go 12weeks

I've been removing the some of the pointless leaves..

I expect the larger nuggets to grow up and out of the canopy.. right now I'm just keeping it if it's green..

I chopped the tops off my plants and am tryin to not cause any more stress right now just let them flower out

Right now i figure the fans are food to the branches that are yet to hold fat nugs.. so i'm leavin them there until late late in flowering.. Keepin it all green until a few weeks before harvest too

Yeah if the heavy sativa wants to go THAT much longer I'm just chopping her down - not worth it LOL.. Then - reserva privada headband LOL





I'm getting some smell when I open my tent, heavy tangerines with this fluffy/sugary overtone... Can't wait to see how that smell gets refined 5-6 weeks into curing!

Aye man, the HB pretty stretchy, I'd say between 250-300%, every one I've seen has been pretty stretchy... RPs OGK is stretchy and I remember reading that their Sour D. is a stretcher as well. I could see you vegging for 2-3 wks and still being able to fit 'em it in there... if you train them from the beginning, lol... the HB does awesiome with some LST.

I have their OG as well and it stretches crazy too, but i also have their Cat. kush and it stretched like 25% and is fucking DANK.... maybe that might be one for you. I got a nice CK nug shot I can toss up if you want...

Hmm that is not bad, good to know.

I could veg at like 6 inches and end up at 18-21 inches yes?



Not nearly as bad as the TD stretch! This thing keeps rolling at day 28







GROW UPDATE:


I bought some "gnatrol" today, to get rid of the gnat larvae the little gnats in my tent no doubt laid.... So I did a 3 tsp / gal soil drench with that...



Also purchased a new, nice, thermometer... Little white and metal sensor... nice stuff, more accurate than my last meter.



Besides that, they are starting to frost up ;) Good stuff over here..




OH> Also, thinking I might cut down the sativa..... Thing is STILL not flowering heavy at day 28.... And it will keep growing for weeks I'm going to guess...


The other 2 plants I have are doing great though.. Keepers for sure, making some dank nugs...
