Entering the second week of growing for the Orange Diesel, I am finally relaxing a bit. It was so close to death with it's germination issue, but the "seed surgery" saved it and it seems to be recovering. It's a bit small compared to the Blue Dream'Matic growing under the same conditions, but it's leaves are healthy and it's putting out new growth. It's going to get it's nutrients dialed up just a little, and the lights are being lowered slowly, to dial in it's optimal grow conditions. Unless she explodes with growth I am going to avoid any topping later in the grow and focus instead on some gentle LST (if needed). I am including a timelapse that mainly covers my Blue Dream'Matic, but shows some of the growth of the 🍊 in the foreground. In future weeks I hope to get more of both the plants centered in the video. Thanks for reading, and happy growing! 🌱👍

As of day 14, the Orange Diesel is doing well! It has shown no deficiencies or root zone issues, and while the growth has been a little slow it is also very steady. It is getting right to the point where they typically explode with growth, so I am pretty hopeful about this one. Updates will continue throughout the week. Thanks for reading, and happy growing! 🌱👍 Day 16: Growing well at day 16, showing a nice and squat growth pattern. I expect plenty of branching, with new growth at all the nodes. Day 20: It has nice, thick leaves and is growing steadily. I am going to skip on topping the Orange Diesel because it's not very stretchy, but will begin LST as soon as I transplant to the final pot.

As of day 21, growth has been strong and I transplanted up to a 5 gallon grow bag. The Orange Diesel has been resisting the browning issue affecting my Blue Dream'Matic, even though it has been a little bit slower growing. I hope to perform a little LST soon, when I have a little bit longer branches to work with. I will be adding more photos and updates throughout the week. Thanks for reading, and happy growing! 🌱👍 Day 23: started a little LST to open up the plant and encourage more branching. Day 25: began heavier LST, overdid it on the main stem and noticed the start of a crack which has been taped.

As of day 28, growth has been strong and healthy. The biggest challenge for the plant was a small crack on the main stem due to LST, but that has been taped and doesn't seem to have caused any issues. I am just limited in how I can bend that branch, so it is being trained back towards the center to prevent pressure from being applied to the crack. The leaves are a healthy, rich green and very day. It is transitioning to flower so I will update as I switch the nutrients and see more physical signs from the plant. Thanks for reading! 👍🍊⛽

As of day 36, the grow is going great with large healthy plants. The Orange Diesel has gotten almost as large as the Blue Dream'Matic despite being slower in earlier vegitative growth. I have high hopes for both plants. The flowering stretch has been pretty significant, and I have avoided removing many leaves from the canopy, so the plant is a bit of a jungle. If I get concerned about airflow and possible mold later during flowering I will definitely remove more foliage. Thanks for reading! 🌱⛽🍊👍 Note: Cannazym is not added at the same time as h202 which would render it ineffective, but is watered separately in its own nutrient solution on an as needed basis (once every 1-2 weeks).

As of day 43, the Orange Diesel is doing well. It has grown tall, although is still a little shorter than my Blue Dream'Matic. The buds are fattening up, and the buds/foliage is so dense I had to defoliate a little just for airflow. Thanks for reading!

As of day 50, the Orange Diesel is putting on weight throughout it's bud sites. It has a very nice citrus fuel smell which lingers on the hands after doing any kind of work through the canopy. I have been removing leaves bit by bit, just because the canopy is so dense I worry about airflow. As long as nothing goes wrong in the next few weeks it is going to produce a very nice harvest. Thanks for reading!

As of day 58 the grow continues to go quite well. The humidity has been under control so I have not had to remove much canopy, but I have been slowly trimming lower portions of the plant. I have been dialing up the blooming nutrients, and have added in yucca powder as a setting agent. This will be a must for my next grow, as I will switch to automatic drip feeding. The smell has been getting better and better, and is still orange and fuel dominant. At this point it's just letting the buds fatten and ripen over the next few weeks as there is still a little ways to go. Thanks for reading!

The Orange Diesel is doing great as of day 63. It has a little bit of yellowing at the very top of it's canopy, but nothing serious for this stage of development. It also continues to be very healthy and is putting tons of energy into fattening it's buds. It has a powerful, sharp citrus aroma which I think will translate into a very nice terpene profile after it dries and cures. It should be ready pretty soon! Thanks for reading! 👍

As of day 75 the Orange Diesel is doing great. It has a little upper leaf issues, with mild yellowing and curling, but it has plenty of healthy leaves and is ripening well. It has a nice sharp orange scent, and will produce a sizable harvest! I am giving a milder nutrient solution with an EC of 1.1mS/cm, and will soon perform a short flush and harvest. This will likely be around day 80. Thanks for reading!

Day 80: I took some final outdoor pics before harvest. This Orange Diesel strain has produced some massive, dense, and leafy buds. Trimming may be a pain due to all the leaf material, but the buds are 3in+ in diameter and will likely end with some really good yields. The smell continues to be a lovely sharp orange and fuel aroma. I definitely should have defoliated the lower portions more aggressively as I was not prepared for how dense and thick the foliage would become with a soilless/hydro growing style. But other than that I am very pleased! I will post a final harvest update after drying in about a week. Thanks for reading, and happy growing!

Overall the Orange Diesel is a great plant. It almost died due to a stuck seed casing, so I am very happy I salvaged it and got to enjoy it's great effects. I am loving growing in coco as well, between that and the good genetics I am producing some of the most terpene rich buds of all my grow cycles. Next time I will make sure I don't let the lower buds get crowded out as it definitely affected my yields. I have put together an auto watering system and have an Atlas plant trainer to try out next grow, so I hope I can keep improving my results! Thanks for reading!
