Most of my notes on this under the 'Liberty Haze Harvest section. Didn't give this strain enough time, so that's on me. Started chopping at F68, took this down at F70 when I absolutely had to hang in the tent or risk stinking up the whole neighborhood. Trichs weren't fully developed, so a little nervous about the smoke on this. Worst-case scenario I'll turn it into some bubble hash or infuse into oil/butter. Not a knock on the strain. In fact, this one was super promising the whole way through, smelled like bubble gum, and was excited to see how it wound up. Anything sub-optimal, totally on me. Big colas, foxtailed a little bit but were still looking great at the end. Gigabud Dried Weight (1 plant of 6): 37.1g

Reviews. Nutrient
I mean, I have absolutely no reference point, and I used the Soul line in soil instead of hydro. Roots Organics soil was great, and while I burned the plants a little during veg, keeping the nutrient dose at about 50% through flower did me just fine. No fault of the line, this was very much an experiment. Nutes seem to have done their job, problems existed solely in my own inexperience.
Won't rate this because I added a free sample late in the game-- but already picked up a bottle to use for the next grow. So uh, marketing works!

Fit right in with the rest of the grow. Got it as a freebie and it thrived. Probably the healthiest, most maintenance-free of all the plants. If it's less than stellar, I'll be kicking myself for not preparing enough ahead of time to give it the time it needed. Ah well, there's always next time!0

@firestarter i can see you're growing your plants to be tall and narrow, any particular reason for that ? just interested here ;)
firestarter
firestartercommented8 years ago
@Bstoner, mainly because I had no idea what I was doing or when was right to start training... and then they got so big I started pruning just so they wouldn't overrun each other's space. But I only vegged for 5 weeks-- they absolutely blew up in the last week. Will definitely flip earlier next time.

I also should have topped my plants much earlier, but us first time growers have to make a few mistakes along the way, right? You must be psyched to start making flowers.

Looking good! I was a High Times Cannabis Cup judge in Amsterdam 3 years straight (Cups 23-24-25) and the Liberty Haze and Tangerine Dream were contenders during that time. Both are excellent, but the TD is exceptional! πŸ‘Œ Good luck!

firestartercommented8 years ago
@AVITAS thanks! I'm very excited to see how they turn out-- they're growing beautifully in the meantime!

Coming along very nicely! I'll be interested to hear what you think about the haze and the TG.

Ticks all the right boxes πŸ‘ Watch out for humidity πŸ‘Œ Yellowing can be a sign of a deficiency,but I have the same issue at flowering with one of mine - if it's just one plant it's unlikely it's the nutrients or ph .
firestarter
firestartercommented8 years ago
@BigDaddyK thanks for the tip-- yeah I'm thinking it's most likely sensitivity to chlorination-- none of the others are showing any signs, and it's otherwise looking pretty robust, so not gonna worry too too much about it. Got myself a 5gal bucket and letting the water sit out 24hrs from now on (also a little aquarium pump and some hose, 'cause I'm tired of using a pump sprayer)

Hehe still think you shoulda threw that Green Crack down this run ;) The setup looks good, can't wait to see it up and running. GL on seed germing! -beanbean
firestarter
firestartercommented8 years ago
@beanbean, Well, still got it so if a seed doesn't pop for some reason-- no reason not to use it as a replacement. And there's always next time!
BigDaddyK
BigDaddyKcommentedweek 58 years ago
Ps I have an olive packing drum that I bought for $15 that I thoroughly rinsed out , its 220 l and you can leave the water πŸ’¦ there while it dechlorinates for 24 hrs

Burnt tips is over nutrition- I do that but it's minor 🌱

@firestarter,I like super silver haze πŸ‘
firestarter
firestartercommented7 years ago
@BigDaddyK, now that they've cure a while, Tangerine Dream the definite winner. My preferences lean indica anyway, and it's extremely relaxing but with a mild, manageable euphoria too. Love it.

Looks good! Nice and frosty ... just got some Tangerine Dream and Acapulco Gold by Barney's ... will give those a go next run :-) I see you're rocking the CMH 315W ... how do you like them? I just switched a couple of weeks into my first grow and notice a huge difference from my last with the cheap LED I had.
firestarter
firestartercommented8 years ago
@ElevatedThinking, absolutely love the cMH-- was originally planning on going with LED (had my eye on the Solar Flare), but was convinced otherwise at the last minute. Couldn't be happier with the result, and a few commercial growing friends agreed after the fact I made the right decision.
