So I'm doing an auto flower run. This one is Sasha, a Cream Mandarin Auto from Sweet Seeds. I've also got Michonne, a Dark Devil Auto from Sweet Seeds and Glen, a Pineapple Express from Fast Buds. My first time growing autos under LEDs. Sasha was the first to germinate and just took off using the paper towel method. She's supposed to turn colors late in flowering which I'm really looking forward to.
I transplanted to three gallon pots after only 9 days of vigorous growth. Started a little light LST on day 13. I just love how vigorous and bushy she's getting.
She really started taking off again just a day after LST, so I had to LST a little more. She has enough flowers showing that I'm considering her in the flowering stage now. The light cycle remains the same.
It was getting a little crowded in the tent. Had to do some defoliation because of all of the leaves laying on leaves. Also had some issues with too much humidity for a few days. Ultimately turned off humidifier until outside temps starting dropping again. Flowers starting to look like buds. She's growing very quickly.
She's growing fast now. The buds are starting to put on some weight, or so it appears. Starting to get some yellowing of lower leaves so I added a little grow nutes this week for an extra bit of nitrogen.
Sasha was getting close to the lights again so I had to lower the plants by about four inches. Buds continue to fill in nicely. I'm digging the fat missile structure of these buds.
Well, it's week nine. Harvest time is soon. This strain is supposed to be done in nine weeks, germination to harvest. I'm not seeing very many amber trichs just yet. Gonna let her go a little longer. Buds are nice and chunky though.
I was very surprised and pleased with the chunkiness of the buds. Just coated in crystals. And what a nice full-bodied buzz. I can't wait to try another one. I am also happy with the yield considering she wasn't a very large plant.
@Sweet_Seeds, this is a very nice strain you have developed. Mine smells incredible. It seriously smells of fresh cut mandarin oranges. Excellent job, well done.🤗
I have never grown this particular strain, however, my last grow I grew 2 Jack 47’s by Sweet Seeds that were absolutely tremendous. I am currently growing 2 Royal 👑 Gorilla’s 🦍, and 1 Gorilla 🦍 Bomb 💣, and 2 Velvet Bud in my garden at the moment that are 35 days into Veg. I just hacked them up starting to do a modified manifold which will extend my Veg by a week or two. I post bi weekly videos to my YouTube Channel. Check it out if you get a chance:

@Sweet_Seeds, Is this a stinker, got carbon filter, just looking for a fruity strain that doesn't stink up with a skunk funk! Would you rec this or something else?
Your cream mandarine are really nice ! The Feminised fast version used to be a classic in my garden during almost 2 years but I finally loose my last clone. I hope it will be as good for you than it was for me ( You makes me wanna get some new beans ) 😁👍
@WeedishChef, Is this a stinker? funky skunky or fruity not sure if it would be stealth enough after having to chop my lemon kush down as neighbour could smell it, room was sealed and in a cupboard with carbon filter, it baffled me but had to do it :(
@PannDanggDiddlyAngg, I'm sorry to hear that. I wouldn't say it was super smelly. I can't smell it outside of my tent, however inside the tent is pretty dank. I wouldn't say that it necessarily smells like weed though. More like fruit cocktail that's been sitting in the sun.
