So far so good. I added some Cafe Cal-Mag, Azos, and Vam to increase root production as well as Nitrogen uptake. The girl is looking like she'll coast through the grow *fingers crossed*
I am actively defoliating her fat fan leaves as the fans on the newest node develop and can take on the photosynthetic load requirement. This active defoliation is requiring the lower branches to grow taller and stronger so that they can also take on the photosynthetic load. I'm hoping for some strong side colas as a result!
This week I did some soft LST, just pulling down the lower branches but not keeping them tied down. As I was pulling a lower branch down I heard the split happen. The branch was barely hanging on by a bit of vascular tissue and cuticle. This strain is a trooper, she recovered quickly and healed herself without issues.
This week I switched to bloom nutrients since she had full pom-pom bud sites. I also top dress with a bit of coconut sugar to add to frost production and feed the herd.
I spent a long weekend away, one of the hottest weekends so far (104F and 107F outside), and left my tent under a friend's care with nutes all mixed up and everything good to go. When I got back she had started eating her largest lower fans but only on one side. I'm thinking she needs a little umph with some BioGrow added as the BioBizz schedule shows they use Grow through the bloom cycle.
She's sailing smoothly and getting frosty. She'll receive a top-dressing of Cafe Ca-Mg and coconut sugar today and I'll start reintroducing BioGrow because she's starting to go after her fans but still has at least 3 weeks left in her. I want her to get fat & juicy! When the fan hits her I get a light orange sherbet smell, delicious.
This week I noticed that she is starting to amber up on the frosty leaves. I busted out my macro lens and snapped a few photos and will begin to flush this Saturday with harvest date set for the beginning of week 10. I really hope she fattens up!
I''ll have to edit this post once I try her. I took her down on day 70, she was showing lots of amber on her sugar leaves and some amber on the buds. The 375 is current wet weight.
Tangie''Matic is a great strain for any grower at any experience level. I found her to not be too picky about nutrients except that she likes a bit more nitrogen in flower than I was giving her for most of that period. Can''t really complain too much about a strain going from seed to bud in 70 days. Final dry weight is 76 grams, 15 grams of that was the main cola. The buds have tightened even more in drying/curing and the frost is a sticky delight.
this girl looks great.. just like my last one..
she was narrow and thin but came out most the frosty, orange honney taste i ever had..i too was using biobizz full line
really great lushy looking plant and keep it going mate..
@FiligreePeacock, sorry for my late answer mate.
i am also thinking like you about biobizz schedule but they say the best way for autos is to grow in light mix and follow the All mix regime so you can control the NPK..and add more if needed.. also they said root juice can go through all veg phase
@djibra, I noticed on the BioBizz schedule it says to use both grow & bloom during flowering, did you do that? I haven't used any BioGrow or FishMix since I started the BioBloom and TopMax but she's starting to eat her leaves so I was thinking of attempting their schedule to rectify her deficiency.
@Bstoner, she does have a bit of burn but she's also taken some fans which means she's hungry for something since switching over to BioBloom & TopMax. According to the BioBizz schedule they use BioGrow throughout flower as well so I may have to start using the grow nutes again to fatten her up.
Loving your trichome shots. What a nice harvest you have. Congrats.
I am quite partial to Reeds ginger ale also.
I am curious to grow this strain based on comments about its smell. They are legendary.
Is your girl exemplary in this regard? Curious.
Cheers.
@Mr_Positivo, She didn't put out much odor while growing and has a bit of tangerine/mandarin orange scent now that she is curing.
I like Reed's but my favorite for a really pungent ginger beer is Fever Tree. Ginger People also put out great ginger beer products.
super clean looking plant! your early defoliation to encourage side branching, when do you suggest starting this?? cheers from a first time tangie grower :)
You know, lots of people in Brazil make their own food, from banana peel, orange peel, used coffee powder, etc. They make teas for the plants. I'll have to try this some time! ;)
