Tangerine Dream Auto First Grow

So far coco has been very uneventful. I use my local hydro store's nutrients, they aren't the same as the popular stuff so I'm not gonna try to log it. Veg nutrients were Grow, Smart Tea, and Cal Mag. Am going to flush soon to try to get some of the dark color out of the leaves, if that is even possible. They are extremely dark right now. The hydro store stuff has a separate silica body booster, I add that first.

I defoliated twice this week, two huge rounds. Its been three days since the last defoliation and it looks like I never defoliated... I thought it had too much nitrogen so I flushed it with florakleen, the runoff read 600ppm. I let it dry out a bit since all of my nervous watering seemed to make it droopy I gave it flowering nutrients yesterday, I'm using my local hydro store's mix so its got flowering nutrients separated differently than the popular ones. PPm's were 600 before I watered her She has perked up significantly now that she has the right food LOL

LST seems to be the way to go for indoor stuff. My tent is crazy small, but this one plant is maxing it out! The leaves aren't as dark green, it has gotten much chunkier since I've been feeding it right. No clue if all these yellow spots are bad, or if I'm just used to how it looks when its overfed.

Have had yellowing, rust spots and purple stems all week. Watched a Chef Derek Butt video, he said that phosphorus deficiency can look like nutrient burn. I have been giving feedings every other watering with always less than 600ppm, so am starting to think it is a deficiency and not nutrient burn. Have been upping cal mag but still have twisted leaves. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFevnrJd5_I Otherwise have been mesmerized by the plant. She's extremely sticky now! Every time I check on her or poke around, I get covered in resin and I smell like cannabis for hours. Really good smell The nutrients are my local hydro store's mix. They have a separate silica booster I've been using that I'm not listing. Also they have bloom nutrients separated into two different bottles. I think I didn't switch her to flowering nutrients soon enough, and now she's deficient. I'm considering getting a k booster

I got a phosphorus booster and a lot of the yellowing stopped. There are still signs of damage, but things are improving. The buds are really starting to pop up all over the place. I noticed the biggest improvement after I gave her a watering with 900ppm, the highest ppm's I've watered with yet. I have been alternating with plain water. I'm looking forward to the next grow I can do, I've learned a lot from messing with this one and screwing it up. The buds are really frosty and oily. Also the smell is incredible.

Most recent runoff was 900ppm, ph was 6.2. Humidity has been between 40-50%, we have had a ton of rain I've put a fan directly onto the plant to try and help with circulation, but the buds are so dense and on top of each other I am worried about humidity. The buds are very dense and smell really good

Had a problem when I was watering, one of the branches broke off because I was careless. Almost all clear and cloudy trichomes. I went ahead and put it in the crockpot because I don't want to deal with drying and curing one branch ect. Otherwise enjoying myself, very fun to try this. Am looking forward to the next cycle, will be much improved.

Have been flushing. Saw a few amber trichomes. I was using a heat mat for most of the grow, the grow location is kind of cold. I thought it was helping, but now I think it might've given me some root problems. Lesson learned! Very excited for the next plant I run. Going to do coco again, have seeds for critical purple. buds are very dense, whole house smells like a clementine.

Have been waiting for the trichomes, they aren't changing much. I think I'm going to cut soon, I don't have much more electricity to spend on her. I want to change my grow tent. Its only 4' tall, and the plant grew very short and stubby. Next time, I will be more experienced and not mess up the feedings so much. I will probably still have this tiny compact stealth grow tent, though. Smell has been changing a lot

I'll be updating this later with the smoke/flavor report after its done drying and curing. Boy, trimming sucks! Loving this finger hash!! I've got the wet trim decarbing in the oven now, going to make some salve. __________________________________________________________________________________________ December 24th: Put the buds in jars after 6 days of drying. Buds seem very dry and airy. Smells like clementines. Buds were stuck together when I took them off their hangers. Dry and airy, fluffy and borderline larfy, but damn shit is sticky. ____---_-____________---_________________== Ms. Tangie has spoken. Super smooth smoke. White ash, seems like the flush was pretty good. Maybe the cure will make the flush even better? Wishful thinking. Not a lot of flavor since it isn't cured at all yet. I didn't smoke a dried bud, I smoked sugar shake left over from putting the *very lightly* trimmed buds in jars. I mixed in kief I got from the trim tray. I will say, I was very on the fence about buying a trim tray. It seemed excessive, and stupid for only one plant. I'm very glad I did, now I get to enjoy it immediately, AND its soooooo good. I got at least one full gram of kief out of the trim tray. The trim tray was $60, two more plants and it practically pays for itself. Enjoying kief immediately is worth its weight in gold. There is definitely CBD in this strain. I love it, its very stony, while being very light and sativa-ey. Head high, with a deep relaxation. The bee's knees. I will update again after the cure is done. I'm going to burp them and cure them in jars for a month or so. I probably won't be able to resist trying some early...00 UPDATE DECEMBER 24TH---two hours later... After google searching for about 5 seconds, I realized that cramming the buds into jars was a bad idea. I unpacked the super-duper packed jars, and now they are in jars at about 2/3rds fullness. The largest, wide-mouth jar is still a bit overpacked. I have enough jars, but I don't have enough lids and rims. Lame. Still have tons of bud, from one measly plant! I can't wait to grow again, this was an extremely fulfilling journey. I learned a lot from the tips, and the most from browsing other people's grows. I want to have a bigger tent, with a taller top. This tent is only 2x2, 4 feet tall, and the plant grew very compact. It overcrowded a lot of the buds. I ended up cutting off a lot of small, yellow, strange-looking underdeveloped buds during wet trimming. Next time, I hope to have a bigger tent with more light. I don't think this is realistically going to happen soon, so instead, I'm hoping to dial in feeding and watering coco. I had a lot of weird, totally unnecessary problems from inexperience and just plain ignorance. The next time, I won't be so unprepared. Short, stubby stealth operation will be more than enough for now. Happy Growing! Also, Merry Christmas lol.😎00000000
