Week 5 Day 42 and they are coming along as excpected.! Light schedule is still on 20/4 and I will bump the nutes (Mega Crop/Sweet) up to 5g 1/4tsp per gallon... As usual it appears I have two different phenotypes with the one on the left short and bushy... She's been trimmed once already and in a couple more days I'll have to do it again.))
@Smowkabowl, hum... That's going to be interesting.! I'll be watching for the results patiently lol... Now I'm gonna research this technique myself and maybe give it a try on Cream 1 when it's time to harvest it.! Thanks for sharing.))
@Cosmic_haze, very beautiful girls. Here's to bountiful Spring harvests. I'll be pulling my WCOG and a GC or two in the next couple days. I am going to try a technique I saw... I am going to put them in dark for 48 hours before cutting 'em down. BUT, before I turn the lights off I am going to split the stalk at the base of the plant by pushing a wooden pencil or dowel through the stalk. This is suppose to help finish off the pistils, darkening them and laying 'em down against the flower. We'll see. Good luck and peace
I just noticed your using MegaCrop. Are you measuring your ppm? I just started a couple hempy buckets and I'm using MC and when I measured 2 gm/ gallon it came in at 600 ppm. Seems kinda high, so I did it again and got similar results, so I went with it. I'm still not convinced so I am going to test my scale and try a different scale also. Peace
@Smowkabowl, I use 4 AutoCobs at 55 watts a piece that equal to a 600 watt HPS.! I start out with two then fire up the other two on the end of week 2.! I bought the calmag as well but they was no need to even use it bro.! The Mega Crop alone does it all... lol the seal on the calmag hasn't even been broken.! I wouldn't recommend using it unless you see a calmag deficiency. You shouldnt need it on the West Coast OG if you stick to the schedule... Man I've seen amazing grows from other growers using only the Mega Crop... The Sweet Candy gives it a killer smell and flavor.! Yes hit me up with any questions you have I'd be happy to help.!
@Cosmic_haze, cool bro, I will take a closer look at your diary. I am going to use the MC only during the first grow, however, I did get their CalMag and Bloom mix and wasn't going to use them this round so I can see the difference. They say the new MC formula should eliminate the need for CalMag. I did not get any Sweet Candy, maybe next time, especially after seeing your results. What kinda LEDs are you using in that lil'ol' closet? Anyway, I got an update coming soon on the WCOGs and the garden is looking amazing at 4 weeks. Peace
@Smowkabowl, Man I never measure my ppm.! I'm telling ya it's not necessary really... If you use Mega Crop to my schedule or even what they recommend on the package then you are good...! I just left a comment on your West Coast OG Grow... I got over 17 oz from only 2 plants using Mega Crop and Sweet Candy and without measuring ppm and all that other unnecessary crap.! The only thing I do is I'll leave 3 to 4 gallons of water sitting out over a period of days and when it's time to mix my nutes I just grab a gallon and mix and that's it
@@GreenHeart420, Cream Mandarin Auto can be a beast if grown in the right conditions... I hope you've got a big enough grow space for her lol I wish you good juju on your grow my man.! if you need any tips and advice feel free to hit me up anytime.!
@Cosmic_haze, oh hell yes it is. I know some people on here get paid to be testers and grow out strains for companies....that's the ultimate winning. Sign me up for that process.lol
@Experimentgreen, Thanks man lol the buds was so heavy that they just laid over onto the walls of the closet...! I got good praises from Sweet_Seeds themselves here and in private messages throughout the whole grow...That's just as good as winning competitions.! But, to have someone with a prize winning grow to be allowed to enter it into multiple comps after winning with it I think is BS.! Lol enough said I don't want no one mad at me.) ๐๐๐
Yo dude, lovely harvest there it looks amazing. I about to attempt my first ever grow and Iโm doing the Cream Mandarin, I was wondering if you had any tips for a newbie like me that could help. I was going to attempt to follow your diary as the end result looks amazing, I understand I may not achieve the same but love any help. Cheers ๐๐
@StrainKing, Yoooo.! thanks man... My tip for you is to use quality soil, like Biobiz lite mix or Foxfarm Happy Frog Organic... Keep temps in the mid-70s if possible and keep humidity 50% or lower.! For this grow I used Biobiz lite mix and Coco Coir (50/50) and for nutes i used was Mega Crop plus Sweet candy.! I did another run of Cream Mandarin back in the summer and didn't achieve anywhere near the same results as this.! I used the same soil mix, same nutes same everything.... Lol man it was disappointing, to say the least.! I did a diary on it here and then deleted it after the harvest... The yield I think was just a little over an oz of quality bud... Anyway i wish you good juju on your grow man

@Sweet_Seeds, thanks so much for the nice compliment on this grow and it really means a lot coming Sweet_Seeds themselves.! I've never pulled this much weight from a single plant and I've been growing for a long time...! The buds was so heavy they just fell over on the walls of of the closet lol...
@GreenHouseLab, thanks man I'm definitely not disappointed with the numbers for sure.! It was a fast 11 week grow for this one and I really like strains like that... I'm thinking my next run will be 2 auto strains from Pyramid Seeds and then start 1 Moby Dick photoperiod after the 2 Autos kick into flowering
Wow those are some monster looking plants!! SEXY!! Iโm also doing a cm xl auto (thanks for your input on my grow question regarding that lady ๐). I hope mine looks something like yours at 6 weeks!
Keep up the good work!!
I will be following this grow ๐
@AutoCrazy, Thanks mate.! I wish you good juju on your grow.! Mine are just the Cream Mandarin without the XL... lol they was supposed to be the XL but it didn't say it on the pack... Oh well I plan on making them XL anyway.))
@Sweet_Seeds, Thanks.! They are beginning to produce a really nice smell at this point... I'm very excited about this grow and looking forward to the end results.))
@Sweet_Seeds, I hope to grow this strain to it's full potential.! I've read some good reviews so I thought I'd do a run on it.)) Looking forward to harvest time...!
