The last seed in this run is nothing other than Tangerine Dream Auto of Barneys Farm! Tangerine Dream was the best strain I tested on my holiday in the Netherlands. So I decided to grow it myself :-) Because I am currently growing autos, I chose the automatic version. I bought a 5 pack with a steep discount on Cannafair in Dusseldorf. Unfortunately, the first seed died shortly after germination, but the second one came out nicely. I am using the same setup as for Auto Orange Bud: Airpot 12.5, 50% Biobizz Lightmix and 50% BioBizz Coco-Mix. Nutrients are BioTabs only, since I got a starter pack for two seeds for free at Cannafair :-). The first week is almost over and I am really happy with the small girl.

Tangerine Dream Auto is growing nicely. She looks green and healthy. The SF Nematodes did their job, only a few gnats are flying around. I hope she will start to grow faster in the next week.

Tangerine Dream Auto is making good progress. She is developing a new set of leaves. The gnats are under control. Today, she enjoys the sun outside.

Tangerine Dream Auto has some problems. She is growing only slowly and her new leaves are slightly crippled. Since I am using the same setup for my Orange Bud Auto which has no issues, I am rather clueless. Anyway, I gave her some more water and just will have to wait and see.

Tangerine Dream Auto is still struggling, but I am quite sure that she will survive. I am only giving her a little water every three days. I am curious what happens when the flower stretch begins.

Tangerine Dream Auto almost doubled in size. Pre-flowering has started. Maybe, this seedling will still develop into a nice and healthy lady. We will have to wait and see.

Finally, the lady has started flowering and has made a frist stretch to 44cm. She is still very dense, but looks super healthy. Not much more to do except being happy and waiting.

Tangerine Dream Auto is finally stretching hard. She added another 20cm to 66cm. I fed her with Orgatrex and Bactrex, as recommended by Bio Tabs. Her structure is compact with a lot of bud sites. She has become a champion!

She added another 12cm. I gave her 10ml/l of PK 5-8 today. Her bud sites are exploding. This is a pleasure to watch. She will need at least four more weeks, but I do not care too much. Waiting is easy when you see this kind of progress.

Tangerine Dream Auto has stopped stretching. Multiple buds are growing. I gave her the rest of Orgatrex from my Perfect Plant Pack. She still has a lot of thrips, which show their signs on the leaves. I should have sprayed neem oil earlier, but now in full flower, it is probably too late. Anyway, she does not seem to bother anymore, but in the beginning it might have curtailed her growth. In a few days, she will be the only remaining plant from this run and can enjoy the SanLight alone. We will see what happens :-)

Slowly but surely are the numerous buds fattening. I had to change the basement and the lights (SpiderFarmer SF 1000) for a week, because I will get a new heating in the house and needed to remove the lady from the cosy boiler room. Not much to do, just wait.

Another week has passed. Nothing extraordinary has happened. The numerous buds are continuing to fatten. I gave her the remainder of PK 5-8; ss she will only get water from now on. It wil take at least another two weeks until harvest.

Unfortunately, the buds do not grow anymore. They are still small and foxtailing. Also, the trichome production is not heavy. I am somewhat disappointed with the genetics. The trichoms are mainly milky. I will wait another week and cut her then.

I cut the larger leaves. She got only water. The trichoms show that she is ready for harvest (maybe already too many amber) tomorrow. The last picture is from a flower which I accidently cut off a few days ago.

I cut the lady on day 112, trimmed the larger leaves and hung her to dry for 11 days. On day 123 I trimmed the sugar leaves and got 15g buds and 14g sugar leaves and popcorn buds. From these 14g I produced 70ml high quality golden dragon tincture; which I tested yesterday: already 0.5ml produce a quite strong effect :-)
