This is a helluva long, and challenging process. It still reeks like a gym-bag in here and there's changes everyday, but they're so minimal that it's hard to track - until she's up in the lights again, ugh. I can't really get her down any lower but have been trying to bend & pull the lower sticks & branches around enough to get a bit more space. Buds are tightening up, but are both heat & light stressed with most having 1-3" of the tops bleached already. I have my doubts about this beast being smokeable, with this much stress she'll probably herm too. :( Whatev, I'll start looking at clean/cheap extraction methods and hash making tuts.
- Another 4 weeks without /new/ issues (still battling height and heat problems) but not much else going on, except....SUPRISE! At long last we have something recognizable as buds!
- Being so Sativa leaning, there's a couple caveats here...
1) Most big buds/tops are super finger-y and foxtaily,
2) She's taking forever - 8weeks into flower and no sign of slowing down or ripening. Based on research, I'm in for up to 15weeks, and
3) it's really hot in the tent and she's pretty much IN the lights, all the time = stressss :(
After a TON of research on the lineage of Tangerine Dream, this plant appears to be expressing an almost pure form one of the ancestrral parents "Neville's Haze". Definitely not Tangerine Dream, and not auto-ing. Uhmmm, "thanks" Growers Choice Seeds?
@Buddha2, thanks! It's tons to have on hand, though I definitely wouldn't call it an 'auto'... more like a long vegged photo really - and quite the experience for sure!
