12/28/24. Soil it is. 12/30/24. Sprouted. This strain is for lovers of everything big. Lemon Mandarin is a result of our work crossing two delicious citrus strains: our keeper Lemonade cut and Tangie (Crockett's Family Farms selection). We made sure she combines the finest attributes of her parents such as a euphoric, invigorating effect, insane trichome production and a bittersweet citrusy terpene profile. Lemon Mandarin is Ideal for lovers of huge trees and XXL yields: she can reach heights of up to 200 cm while showing off extreme resiliency and lots of side-branching. Her aroma is a perfect blend of Tangie, lemon zest and the soothing sweetness of ripe mandarin, enveloping the senses in a profoundly pungent tangerine-lemon fragrance that lingers long after smoking.

01/06/25. Starting week 1 This lady is growing well considering the cold temps. She seems pretty much on point. It’s a bit colder than I think is good right now. The day temps are where I’d prefer the night to be. Might need to put a portable heater soon. The temperature just isn’t staying up with the rest of the place. Soils pretty dry now. I’m going to water today. I imagine the water will run right through, so I’ll be spraying the top a bit to get it damp and then slowly watering to make sure the soil actually absorbs some of it. I’ve complained about my light being a dud or something (the viparspectra) and now I’m pretty sure it is. I have the light at 13 inches up at 50% and still getting stretched stems. This light should be 24 inches or more away supposedly at this age. Been like this since sprout as well. lol. Whatever. At this stage not much else to report on. Thanks for looking ✌️

01/13/25. Beginning of week 2. Well.. she’s just chillin doin plant stuff n things. She’s moving a long well. Not much to mention She was given plain ph’d water today. Her last watering was with half the manufacturer recommended ratio for a seedling. That made it 0.6 ml of each the 3 parts. She seems happy with that. I water her when the top of her soil looks dry and her pot is light. I will most likely be transplanting her before next update comes, as her leaves are starting to span across her little pot. No roots showing at bottom yet. 01/18/25- transplanted into 1 gallon pot. Added picture. Thanks for lookin.

01/21/25. Jumpin into the start of week 3. She’s doing plant things and stuff. I gave her water yesterday with half the manufacturer recommended ratio of nutrients So 0.6 across wash three part. She’s lightening up and cotyledons went yellow. It’s been REALLY cold where I’m at and it’s been hard to even keep the whole house at 70 f or above. The little baby plants have been lucky to get even 70 as a temperature. The polar vortex thinger should be giving us a break tomorrow, supposedly, so should warm up a bit. Light is at 18 inches up and about 90%. Oh, she was also transplanted on the 18th, I believe it was, into a 1 gallon nursery pot. I updated last weeks entry with exact date and after picture. Thanks for lookin. ✌️

01/27/25. Welcome to the start of week 4. I was hoping for a better week with this girl and I got it. Woohoo. She was paling and starting to look a bit sad and droopy. Her first true leaves have yellowed quite a bit, but I upped her food and the rest of her has darkened up, and she’s perky and not sad :). Shes beautiful. 😻😻 I think slightly warmer temperatures have also pleased her as well. She grown quite a bit since last update. She’s now one of the biggest girls. Shes currently at 4 nodes and I will top her when she hits 5. She was just watered yesterday, slowly, until a bit of run off. I’ve upped her food to 2.5 across 3 parts, as well as upped calmag (1) and silica (2). I pulled a dip shit move and left my measuring tape in the flower tent and it’s lights off, so I’ll have to come back tomorrow to update that. I doubt she’s much different than last measurement though honestly. Update: 01/29/25- updated measurement and watered with food. 01/31/25- topped and added picture/video. Soils still a bit moist, anticipate plain watering tomorrow. Thanks for lookin. ✌️

02/03/25. Start of week 5 This lady is doing well. She was topped like 3 days ago and is pushing growth. She was plain watered today, slowly, until runoff. Roots are starting to hit bottom so she’ll probably need a transplant soon. She’s drinking every 2-3 days. She’s having some nice growth the past few days now that it’s not cold af. She’s enjoying the heat. Not much else going on currently. If anything else happens I’ll come back and update. Thanks for lookin. ✌️

02/11/25 start of week 6 She has been transplanted into a 2 gallon now. I usually woulda put her in her final pot but I have limited room at the moment.. so she’ll have to be transplanted again later. She has also been topped a second time and she’s doing good. Watering whenever her pots light/soils dry, with no set amount- water slowly until a bit of run off. Since she just got into fresh soil I watered last with just silica and calmag. She’s 8 inches tall now. Just saying it here because GD is being weird and the numbers keep saying different than what I put. Think that covered everything. Thanks for lookin. ✌️ Updates 02/14/25. Fed/watered. 02/15/25- added picture update

02/17/25. Start week 7 veg Transplanted to final home and moved into flower tent. Not flipping yet. Switched the timers to veg mode. I want this grow to do at least 8 weeks. This girl has been crazy with growing. I’m talking about branching and bud sites. She’s not the tallest thing but she’s a cute little bush. She was watered in and fed after transplant She’s now under the 320w at 50% about 25 inches away. If I notice any problems I’ll adjust the dim. I’ve got her propped up so she’s closer in height to her taller friends. It’s gotten really cold again so I’m guessing growth will slow down like a couple weeks back :( The cold this grow has really been a pain in the ass.

01/24/25. Start week 8 veg I messed around with this girl a lot the past week. I could see she had plenty of branching and bud sites but most of them were hiding. I used some lst clips to move things around and get more exposed. She was watered yesterday with calmag and her next watering will be with a feeding. She’s drinking about a half gallon every 2-3 day currently. She’ll be getting flipped soon. Would have already done it but one of the friends had been a straggler and trying to get her right. 02/26/25- did some more last minute training and cleaned up around her nether regions and got rid of lower growth 02/27/25- watered/fed half a gallon Also added video. That about covers it. Thanks for lookin. ✌️
