Hello,everyone.
I've been growing indoors for 2 years now,and I just found out about this great website,I usually post my grow's at thcfarmer,but im switching to this platform.This is the first time I'm growing something other than royal queen seeds,and looking forward for the tangiematic.
Here are the seeds at day 4,I just hope that repotting them will not cause too much stress, because i have done this with many autos and didn't have a problem,but the breeder says no stress is recommended,so we will see.
Happy to be here and exchange info with all of you :)
They are in the pots now(actually buckets 20L 😀).And for this week I'm not adding grow or bloom,let them eat whatever they can from the soil first.All other nutrients stay.
A nice,light fruity smell i starting to build up in there.A few have clearly started flowering,but others not.This is the 25th day and from now I'm changing to HPS.Also I have had better results with 12/12,instead of the popular for autos 18/6 or 20/4,so that's what I'm doing.
Welcome to the jungle 😅.5th week day 32.They've stretched quite a bit,the short guy on the bottom left is also starting to catch up.A lot is going on with the branches,I had to get rid of some leaves to expose some lower tips to the light.No problems so far,except for the little guy who doesn't want to start flowering.I may have to give it a extra week.
Everything is good,no food/ph problems so far.I'll have to lift some of them to level out the height difference.Starting to smell pretty good,The only thing I don't like is how some of them are more into flowering and bigger than others,and I probably won't be able to harvest all at once,but whatever,still nice big plants.
Week 7,46th day.They've almost stopped growing and started budding.I guess another 3 weeks max,for the harvest.Still no serious problems,the only actual problem for me is the difference in the maturity in the plants.The two short ones are more into flowering than the others,and require different doses of nutrients.Now lets see how much can I push them to bud.
Still looking good,a little colder temperatures at night,but I still manage to keep it at 15c,They will definitely go for 10 weeks,The little one before the last picture,will be ready first.I'll probably do one or two more feedings,and the only Ripen and Flora kleen or final flush to the finish.
9th week,day 60.I fed them one last time in the begining of the week,last night I watered with Ripen,and Final flush from now on to the finish.Some of them are almost ready,but the biggest one in the corner could go a little more.Pretty sure they'll be ready in 10 days,because the smell has changed already.
10th week,day 67.
They are ready,smelling great( like smelling the peel of an orange or mandarine) and some fall colours are showing.Probably gonna harvest 5 of them tomorrow.The one with the long colas in the corner however,will have to go for another couple of days,hopefully by 4-5 december it will be harvestable 😁.This week I've been flushing with flora kleen and water,and thats basically it.The next post will be of the harvest and my overall comment on strain,genetics and breeder.
Ok,so i harvested 5 of them,because they were ready,I'll be doing a dry trim on em.The one with the long colas should be ready in a couple of days too.One in particular had the fattest cola I've ever harvested,i'll show it in the next post where everything will be harvested,and dry,so I can say a few thing about the smoke,weight,breeder and so on.👌So this isn't 11 week I just posted it as such,they were harvested on the 69th day.
!Update! The last plant was harvested today on day 71
OK,I've been drying a few days now,but they are not quite there yet,so the final weight will be uploaded soon.
The smell is really strong and pungent,impossible not to notice in a room or near it,so watch out.
The trichomes are crazy,just a few stirs in the bucket to loosen them,covered my whole hand in a sticky mess.
I still haven't smoked the final product so I'll upddate on that too in a couple of days.
UPDATE!! The final weight is 463 grams total.Way more than what I expected,I was hoping for 300g.Very pleased with the final result.👌
Growth
The plants didn't have any food or ph problems and handled my bigger feedings with bloom at the end with ease.The only problem was the diffrences between maturity and overall size of plants and structure.Two were short with very fast flowering and ripened much earlier that the others,the other three were medium size with nicer buds but had some mutations in the bud forming(which did not interfere with quality).And the last one had an amazing structure great colas,but matured far too late then the breeder suggests(which is normal sometimes)Overall,a lot of versions on one strain 😅.
It was easy and fun growing them.
Breeder
This is the first time growing fast buds and probably not the last. I usually grow feminised strains,but I also like autos,for me they are a great way to have some weed faster and are definitely a worthy opponent for the fems .But for me,you do need some experience because they handle mistakes a little harder, but If you check the ph and watch for responses from the plant,you'll be fine.These ones I liked vey much.A nice fruity strains with a lot of buds.Definitely recommend It.
Good luck to everyone participating in the contest.
Keep on growing.
Update!! I found a couple of seeds and a banana on one bud,looks like they hermied,but thats ok,the buds are still the bomb.
@HighTV,Thank you very much,looks like the love and care paid off😁,Im using a 1.2x1.2x2 meter Hortosol tent.I've had it for 2-3 years,but Im planning on getting a Homebox Evolution or something of that quality.
@Smowkabowl,Actually only my main food is on the mineral side-GHE grow and bloom.I dont count the bud factor X because it's only a chemical that makes the plant think it's being attacked and that way it produces more THC(doesn't make buds big).And every 2-3 weeks I flush with flora kleen to get rid of excess build up mineral in the soil.I like my main food to be on the chemical side.I've tried both( only organic or only chemical products).And found the sweet spot in between,with my main food being on the mineral side.
Why don't you try it for the heck of it😀.Also don't forget that you use LED I use MH/HPS.
Today LEDS are much better than years ago,and are a worthy oponent for MH/HPS,Buut I still prefer my light.Dont get me wrong I've seen awesome quality bud from LEDs but,Its always been a hydro setup or something similar.Definitely not organically grown.But thats just my point of view.Hope you achieve your goals man.😎
@Spiral, thanks for looking. I have to remember that I'm growing organic and it seems growth happens slower and smaller than chemical nutes. I'm trying to get big buds like yours growing organically... lol. I'm hoping for a 4 to 5 ounce dry harvest from my 3 plants. Peace.
@CRiSPrGrow,I can't because Im moving out of town for a few months and 2nd,3rd or 4th of december is the longest I can let them flower,but I think They'll be ready by then.One or two of them are starting to ripen already(the little ones) so fifteen more days for the bigger 4 plants will be just about enough.Also I like to harvest at 65% white trykes.I like the taste better.A few days before 50/50 or 60/50 red trykes is the perfect for me.And I also always use ripen by GHE nutrients so I don't think it will be a problem.Thanks for the advice.
@CRiSPrGrow,Thank you very much.Yes I also think the quality of the buds will be great,but I'm not sure about the yield.They have another 15 days to go but still.
@YousTwos,Thank you very much,actually the ladies are ready I'll post some pics tomorrow for the 10th week.The problem is with the one with the long colas in the corner,she is the one that's like a week late than the others.The buds got fatter on her so I hope that a week more will be enough to ripen up enough for a harvest.I actually never check trichomes I always use my nose.I've noticed that not a lot of people do this I mean,a plant has its smell right when the buds are formed like 4-5 week,and that smell stays.And when they ripen up that smell changes,Right now rubbing my fingers on a upper leaf,on the ready plants,it does smell a lot like smelling a orange or mandarine peel(what the breeder suggests it should) you know,while the one thats not ready doesn't smell like that.
