Decided to show the progress here, now that it gets interesting :) The 2 Tropical Tangies are very different, I like the one in the middle much more and took some clones for later before flowers were formed. The left TT is very compact and leafy and does not like the feeding solution so much. But overall I am pleased with how things go.
Additional note: I use the bluetooth dimmer for the lamp, they get a 1hour sunrise from 0 to 100% power, 8 hours of full power and then a steady sunset back to zero for the last 3 hours. Not so much to save electricity, but to keep the temperature in check.
6 weeks have passed since flipping to 12h light. I stopped giving CalMag, since they are about 4 weeks from done. They will also not get organic fertilizer from now on, only minerals. TT1 is showing burned edges on the fan leaves, probably excess of P or K or both. She gets her own nutrient solution now, without PK13-14 and a little less bloom complex. I also do had to remove lots of leaves on that one, which were touching the buds.
Week 7 has finished, they are getting fatter now. Outdoor temps have dropped so they have it a bit cooler now.
TT1 stays short and I needed to remove a lot of leaves on that one. I still dont like that pheno, but TT2 is awesome.
Smell is now increasing. While the Tangies smell rather sweet and musky, the Amnesia has a really sharp citrus aroma. She also starts showing brown hairs already, although I plan to give her the full 10, maybe 11 weeks.
I stopped giving organic fertilizer, they only get moderate amounts of mineral fertilizer now.
week 8 since flip has passed. Ladies are showing autumn colors and get fatter and smellier. The smell now creeps out of tent, From now on, They will only get pH adjusted water with SuperVit. I estimate harvest in 2 weeks, we will see. I am in no rush. The cooler temps might slow down things anyway.
I let them deplete the soil further. TT1 shows a few milky trichomes on the sugar leaves and a dead spots on the leaves are increasing. The others still have clear trichomes. They will all get the full 10 weeks. Maybe even 11. they get 1 L of pH 6 water every 2 days. Soon they will get nothing anymore. Light cycle reduced to 6 hours. 3 small fans are blowing now, 2 from the top, one below the canopy. It is really difficult to remove dead leaves now, next time I will defoliate much more before flipping them.
late update: sorry for the gruesome pictures - I stopped watering after 10 weeks and let them dry out in the soil. Pictures were taken after 11 weeks. I harvested the next day. Zero mold so far. Very sticky. I will update with the harvest soon.
Dry trimming the Amsterdam Amnesia was a bit of a pain. Only the very top of the buds were really nice and dense. There was a lot of fluffy bud that was no fun to trim that way.
The overall harvest was nice in terms of amount, resin and smell. Effect is very strong and provides a feeling of motion combined with euphoria. The smell is absolutely amazing, aggressive citrus aroma dominates. Almost reminds of that toilet cleaner soap, but not in a bad way.
It was the first grow in this setup and with this strain, so I will not blame the genetics or the setup for the fluffy buds.
I suspicion is that temperatures in the end were simply too cold for the Haze and it would have needed at least 2 more weeks.
I also did not defoliate enough and trim the small crap under the screen.
Effect 10/10
Aroma 10/10
Yield 7/10
Bud appeal 5/10
I made clones from it which are growing in a SOG, see next report. Then we see if I can squeeze out better bud.
Dry trimming the Tropical Tangie worked great for bigger buds which were nice and firm.
There was a lot of fluffy bud below the screen that was no fun to trim that way. The leafy pheno was not so bad after all. The leaves can be easily removed by hand during the dry trim.
The overall harvest was nice in terms of amount, resin and smell.
The Tangie is very strong, uplifting still, but qith a bit of a punch.
The smell is nice, but mine do not really have a citric or orange peel smell.
More like an interesting spicy, sweet and somewhat musky aroma. Kind of like really fresh homemade hash.
It was the first grow in this setup and with this strain, so I will not blame the genetics or the setup for the fluffy buds.
They could probably have used at least one more week, even though they are supposed to be ready after 9-10.
But it was too cold in the grow room and that slowed things down.
I also did not defoliate enough and trim the small crap under the screen.
Effect 9/10
Aroma 8/10
Yield 8/10
Bud appeal 7/10
I made clones from the good pheno, which are growing in a SOG, see next report. Then we see if I can squeeze out better bud.
