Day 43: Trichomes forming on leaves. Despite adding (what I thought to be) an adequate amount of dolomite lime to the soil, I've been having calcium deficiencies. I've since been adding a full teaspoon of CALiMAGic to each half gallon of RO water per watering. Since the plant seems to be handling the nutrients at 1/4 strength I've taken them up to half strength this week. Still have no idea what I'm doing, but I think things are going pretty well!
Any thoughts on what might have caused the plant to stay so short? I would love to have this happen on my next tangerine dream grow! My 1st grow was the exact opposite of this. Super tall! I ran out of space.
@highres, Thanks for that information. I tried LST for the 1st time as well. I'll certainly do better next time. I wonder if the low height lighting helped keep it short?
Good luck on your next grow!
@BucketBrigade, mostly my light (135w HLG QB). My tent is only 2’x2’x4’ so the light is perfectly sized for that footprint. I had to do a lot of environmental control to keep things cool, but I needed to keep the light pretty close to keep it short. I had NO idea what I was doing as far as LST goes (I just tied down branches) but I’m sure that helped too.
@highres, not yet haha. It's cooled down a little now so I'm gonna see if the lower temps help it develop a little better. Tangie never really smelled much and seems to be at the end of its lifespan pretty much tho, very few leaves left. Built a little veg box out of a pc case so I can veg a couple more now while these go. Good luck man!!
@Ashbash, Over-ripened fruit, feet and shoe shine polish. Not the most pleasant smell, but very pungent! Did you end up chopping down your Stardawg and Tangie this week?
