Hello and welcome to the Lemon Orange!
I've got quite the passion for Greenhouse Seed Company as a fan of strainhunters as well as a fan of well, their strains! π I've got to tell you, the Super Lemon Haze is one of my all time favorites and I would argue that its one of the best cultivars on the planet. So when I found out that Greenhouse developed a new cultivar using the Super Lemon Haze as a parent, I knew that I had to get my hands on it. Since GHSC doesn't ship to where I live, it took me a long time to find a reputable seedbank that carried the Lemon Orange. I usually use NASC as they carry GHSC genetics, (and they're dope AF) but unfortunately they haven't carried the Lemon Orange yet. This time, I used attitude as they apparently have a company based in my country now.
Speaking of attitude, they hooked me up with so many freebies and the shipping was pretty quick. I told them to draw a wizard on the box/shipping package and they actually did it! Those fucking madmen over there are great and I would definitely recommend them at the time of this writing. I digress.
For this run, I will be running both the Lemon Orange and the Chemdog D (CSI Humboldt) in the same tent. As usual, I will keep the diaries separate for simplicity's sake (and so you don't have to scroll through diaries/images of a plant you don't care about.) I am going to veg both plants out in my veg tent as I finish up my current two plants in my flower tent. Once the flower tent is empty, I will be moving the Lemon Orange and Chemdog D to the flower tent. My flower tent is a 3x3 Ac Infinity tent (Ive got all the swag too) with a Mars Hydro FC-E3000.
I germinated the plants via Glass of Water/Paper Towel method. The seed gets 24 hours in the glass of water, and then gets placed into a wet paper towel. I place the paper towel between two dinner plates to keep the moisture in. A few days later, and voila! We have a taproot!
After the taproot developed to be about an inch long, I placed the seedling taproot down into my soil mix consisting of 50% Happy Frog, 50% Light Warrior and a little bit of worm castings. I usually just place seedlings into pure Happy Frog in the past, but I'm not too thrilled about the consistency of Happy Frog right out of the bag. There's a bunch of large woodchips that end up getting in the way, and in my opinion hampers initial root growth. I'm not completely sold on this however, which is why I'm changing it up. π
She poked out of the soil in another day and sprouted her cotyledons!
P.S. By the way, my favorite strainhunters expeditions are probably India and South Africa. It must have been amazing rafting down that river in SA surrounded by the beautiful nature and then walking through remote fields of cannabis. My favorite shot is the scene of Arjan and Dust checking out some plants together while the sun sets over the field in the distance. Very beautiful.
Good luck with the grow,looking awesome so far.
I'm just growing the same strain at the moment. I'll follow along for sure , can't wait to see how they turn out.
Amazing diary!
I'm growing this strain and i'm loving it so far, what a smell.
You've done an amazing jog with the ScrOG and controling the height!
Congrats!
@Gold1, definitely out of this world, I can only describe as Sweet Orange Cake.π Me too, I have some beans left but I will keep them until i got a mother tent, it's a keeper for sure!
Thank you! I hope too π I will look forward to see your next grow!πͺ
@NAS_Garden, Thank you so much for the kind words! The smell really is out of this world, right? Definitely a keeper in retrospect and I regret not cloning her. Still got a few beans left though :D.
Good luck with your girl, hope you crush it friend πͺπ
I have seen a few good lemon orange grows thus far and it has me thrilled. Just finally got 10 Lemon Orange seeds after trying to buy them for almost a year with no success. Good shit man!
