HandsomeTerpz ## π± Week 1 β Deep Mandarine | Restart with a Second Seed
A small change of plans with my **Deep Mandarine by Delicious Seeds** grow.
During the second week of the first plant, I noticed that **something wasnβt developing quite right**. The growth and overall appearance didnβt convince me, and rather than losing valuable time, I decided to start a **second Deep Mandarine seed** as a backup.
This time I also changed the germination approach.
Instead of starting her the same way as the first plant, I germinated the new seed **directly in a coco-based substrate**. The idea is to give the young root system a very light and airy environment during these important first days.
Once she has developed a healthy and established root system, Iβll **transplant her into my regular soil mix** and continue the grow normally from there.
### π‘οΈ Week 1 Conditions
- **Stage:** Vegetation β Week 1
- **Height:** ~5 cm
- **Temperature:** ~25Β°C day / ~20Β°C night
- **Humidity:** ~65%
- **Light schedule:** 18/6
- **Lamp distance:** ~45 cm
- **COβ:** ~500 ppm
- **pH:** ~6.0
- **TDS:** ~200 ppm
- **Current medium:** Coco-based starter substrate
- **Final medium:** Soil
- **Lighting:** MIGRO Array 4x4 LED
So far, the new seedling is looking good and developing normally. π±
Iβll keep the original plant running for the moment, but this second seedling gives me the opportunity to compare their development and make sure I continue the diary with a **healthy and vigorous Deep Mandarine**.
Sometimes a restart is simply the better decision when something doesnβt look right early on.
ππ± **Deep Mandarine #2 is up letβs see how she develops from here.**

HandsomeTerpz π± Week 2 β Vegetation | Deep Mandarine β Delicious Seeds
Week 2 with the Deep Mandarine from Delicious Seeds. ππΏ
As mentioned in my previous update, I decided to start over with a new seed because the first plant simply wasnβt developing the way I wanted. Sometimes itβs better to make that decision early instead of trying to force a weak start.
The new Deep Mandarine was germinated directly in coco substrate, and so far this little lady is looking much better. π She is currently around 17 cm tall, developing fresh new growth and starting to build a nice structure.
Conditions are sitting at around 25Β°C during the day, 20Β°C at night and 65% RH, with an 18/6 light schedule and pH around 6.0.
For now, Iβm keeping things simple and letting her establish a healthy root system before she will eventually be transplanted into her final soil mix. ?
Restarting was definitely the right decision. Now we finally have a healthy Deep Mandarine ready for the journey. ππ₯
Letβs see how she develops over the next week!

HandsomeTerpz Deep Mandarine from Delicious Seeds is looking strong and healthy in Week 4. She is developing a beautifully compact and bushy structure, with relatively tight internodal spacing and vigorous side branching.
Her large, broad fan leaves are especially noticeable and give the plant a powerful appearance. The main stem is getting thicker, while fresh shoots are pushing strongly from the nodes and quickly filling out the canopy. π±πͺ
The foliage shows a rich, healthy green and the new growth looks clean and vigorous. So far, she seems more focused on building a dense and solid structure rather than stretching vertically.
Really happy with her development so far. Now Iβm curious to see how much her structure changes once she enters the stretch. ππ₯
Week 4 β compact, vigorous and building a beautiful structure!

HandsomeTerpz Deep Mandarine keeps pushing forward! πͺπ± Sheβs developing into a really solid, vigorous plant with a nice structure and plenty of healthy side growth. The stretch is becoming more noticeable now, and sheβs starting to show what sheβs capable of.
What really stands out already is the smell β sheβs getting seriously aromatic even at this stage. ππ₯ Every time Iβm around her, that unmistakable scent is getting stronger.
So far: stable growth, healthy leaves, strong branches and absolutely no drama. Exactly how I like it. ππΏ
Really excited to see how Deep Mandarine develops once she gets deeper into flowering. Letβs see what she can do! ππ

HandsomeTerpz Week 5 and Mongolia is getting seriously wild! ππ± The growth this week has been impressive sheβs stretching hard, building lots of strong side branches and developing a really open, vigorous structure.
The leaves are huge and she definitely has that untamed look I really like. πͺπΏ Sheβs becoming a proper little monster and seems determined to take up as much space as possible. π
What surprises me most is the aroma already. For a THC-free variety, sheβs putting out a seriously intense smell this early. ππ₯
Really curious to see what happens when this structure starts filling up with flowers. Mongolia is definitely becoming one of the most interesting plants in the tent! ππΏ

HandsomeTerpz Deep Mandarine by Delicious Seeds is growing like an absolute beast! πΏπ₯
The growth is simply incredible! Sheβs developed a massive, dense canopy with countless flowering sites and strong, beautifully structured branches.
Now the flowering phase is really kicking in, with fresh white pistils appearing everywhere. πΈπ
Iβm seriously impressed by the vigor of this genetic. Sheβs looking fantastic, and I canβt wait to see how those buds develop over the next few weeks!
Delicious Seeds is definitely delivering something special here! ππ
