Red mandarine

Fruitgrower Wednesday 20.05 Day 7 This girls been growing for about a week now. Just going to lst her nothing else. Thankyou @seedsman and @growdiaries for the prize and giving growers the opportunity to win things for sharing their grows and helping out other growers. I love this platform for all the help I've received from breeders and growers. 👍🌱

Fruitgrower 25.05 Day 12 Looking good, going for a transplant at the end of the week maybe.

Fruitgrower 29.05 Day 16 Looking healthy. Transplanted into 1 gallon added mycronzai and guano. Now she should take off 👍🌱🚀 01.06 Day 19 The start of lst. Going to spiral her around the circumference of the pot. 04.06 Day 22 Still training her round the edge of the pot to reveal all the under growth.

Fruitgrower Day 46 from seed Completely forgot to update this diary, the carousel lst technique wasn't really working so I removed all restraints and let her grow, she's now two weeks into flower. 2.07 F day 17 Can just see the flowers beginning to turn red which is cool. Still feeding her once a week ish. Removed all tie just to let her grow I don't think she liked being tied down at all.

Fruitgrower 4.07 Day19 Reduced the nutrient feed slightly, fed today. She's looking healthy, not as big as I'd like though. Red colour is cool too see, new for me. And I have a few more red and purple strains too grow in the future if I like it.

Fruitgrower 09.07 F Day 24 The darkness looks soooo cool, nice to see it early on too. Still only very light feeding.

Fruitgrower 13.07 Fday24 Looking nice, flowers producing up every entire cola. Small but pretty. 16.07 F27 Last day of this week. looks lovely, the smell of tangerine and mandarins is already prominent.

Fruitgrower 24.07 Missed a week on this one. Not much happening though, still getting a mild feed every week, don't want to overload her. Red is coming through on buds, leaves and stem. Lots of bud growth up the whole stem, we like to see that 😉

Fruitgrower 4.08 Mid week for this one. Still getting pk but probably last time this week though. Looking great, even the leaves are starting to turn red now! Sick a lovely sight and beautiful aroma coming of her.

Fruitgrower 4 08 Mid week for this one now. Still getting her pk but nothing else now. The leaves are turning red too! What a wonderful sight and aroma coming off her. 7.08 Last day of the week I think. Love the style of buds on this plant, the colour and the smell. Shame my carrousel training idea didn't work.

Fruitgrower 10.08 Gave a small feed of bio grow, bloom, topmax and calmag. Buds are still pushing out hairs and looking no where near ready. 15.08 Foxtailing like a mother fucker. Starting to fade nicely. Very difficult to see the trichomes, I'm guessing another 7/14 days still. Going to give at least one more feed, thought it would be finished sooner really?

Fruitgrower 22.08 Looking great. Smelling even better. Not too far away now, just going to wait for it to slow down on pushing out white hairs. Going to give just plain water now on.

Fruitgrower 28.08 I know the pictures aren't great but it's so close now. White hairs have stopped popping out and all are starting to brown off now. From what I can see (and it is quite difficult) the trichomes are getting cloudy but not much amber. 29.08 The day before harvest. She's looking super ready now. All the white pistils at the top of the buds have started to mature and curl up. Even the lower buds look great. All the leaves have yellowed and /or dried. The buds and sugar leaves are a dark, deep purple it'll be interesting to see how the colour is when it's dry, I'm guessing almost black!

Fruitgrower So as I was entering this one into the "original" contest I wanted to attempt an lst style that trained circular around the pot but the plant just wouldn't let me do this. The strength and vigour just wasn't there in the vegetave stage but she was flowered fairly young and still seems to have grown into a good size plant with gorgeous looking buds. Will update soon with dry weight numbers. 🌱👍 06.09 Trimmed and into kiliner jar. Only 33 grams from this one, buds very light and foxtailing but the aroma of orange, molasses and spices is somewhat overwhelming. Will leave it 5/10 days before I taste any. But might try a cheeky nug later tonight, we'll see, you know how it is 😜😋 So after 2 days of curing. The smell is very black Berry and autumn fruits opposed to mandarine. The taste is kinda earthy and musky with a hint of sweetness almost minty. I'm hoping a cure will make this strain more enjoyable and palletable.
