I dream of a tasty tangerine

Not getting off to the best start in terms of conditions. The heatwave is keeping temps far too high and the humidity too low, So how this grow goes we shall see. I now have air-domes in the bottom of the pots to aid better oxygen to the roots. Plus I swapped out the 600w led for a 1200w led. Again just a cheap generic ‘eBay special’ till I throw some money at a decently setup.

Growing at a nice pace currently. Kept the fan on the plants constantly which has helped with cooling and strengthening. Temps should begin to drop now as the weather is changing and a good rain should see the humidity rise to a better level. My diary update are a little out as I’ve been in hospital with my fiancé as she gave birth to my daughter

I’ve been a bit behind with the updates but I’m back on track now. It’s the end of week 3 today and the photos I’ve taken just now. So this plants growing well so far. Side branches are keeping themselves up there with the top of the canopy. I attempt to tuck the large fan leaves under these as best as possible during these next few weeks to help the side branches get as much light as possible and grow up with the plants canopy

Seen some good growth in the last week. Temps have been a little high on the odd day but otherwise mostly where I’d like to see them. Now going to start adding DutchPro Explode in a small quantity as the plants get ready to flower. DutchPro Keep It Clean is working well in keeping the water tank clean and clear. Before I’d have to clean it out before refilling every time as the water would be cloudy and the neuts would leave a white residue all up the sides. There’s only a small amount of residue now but the water remains nice and clear.

Another good week of growth. Pre flowering is under way but I expect to see a big stretch in the next week or two before all the plants energy goes into calyx growth. I trimmed a few fan leaves and small side branches down at the base of the plant. This will allow the plant to put more energy up top and promote better airflow around the plant

Straight up growth again this week. Will start to trim around the bottom of the plant and get rid of anything that isn’t going to amount to much and only waste the plants energy. This will also promote good air flow.

Another week with a large amount of vertical growth. Bud sites are making themselves well known now so I’ve upped the amount of explode in the feed. Once the stretching is done I’ll start defoliating and clear out the small stuff around the bottom

Showing good bud growth this week. This plant definitely needs less neutrients compared to the other two. I like to see a very small amount of neut burn on the leaf tips just to know the plants are getting enough. But it’s a little too much on this plant now. I knew I would encounter issues like this running autopots but I can manually dilute the feed down in the tray for this plant I guess.

I gave the bottom of the plant a good clear out of all the small buds etc to allow all the energy to go into the top buds. Also backed off the Dutch pro explode a little as the tangerine dream and royal creamatic are showing too much neutrient burn.

The appearance of nuetrient burn hasn’t got worse and growth is still going well so I’m not concerned about anything right now. The main coala on this plant is the biggest of the three strains at this point.

Coming close to the end of this grow now and it’s been a breeze so far. Most of the trichomes are milky so just keeping an eye out for those ambers before I start thinking about flushing 👍🏻

Some real nice buds on this lady, it’s really loving the DutchPro Explode. Most of the trichomes are milky now with the odd amber so hoping to flush soon. Want to be in a position to flush all 3 plants together so I can keep them hooked up to the auto pot system

Today I’ve cleaned out the water tank and will feed only ph’d water from now. Hopefully in a week I’ll be able to harvest these ladies. Can’t wait to smoke these they smell so good!
