Hi Guys! I hope you are OK. First of all, I want to say thank you to Sweet Seeds....  It is a sponsored diary by Sweet Seeds. Thanks for all the seeds and package. ;) Please guys go and check them out www.sweetseeds.es  and get some nice strain ;) Thanks! Regards. Day 0,13th of September 2020; Seed is in the water. Day 0, 15th of Spetember 2020: Tap root is out :) Ready to be planted. :) Day 2, 17th of September 2020: Out and opening:) Day 5, 20th of September 2020: Repotted and placed under Viparspectra PAR 600..

Repotted final pot 3.8L Fertilization started lightly with bat guano Closer to the lamp due to the pot size difference. Day 11, 26th of September 2020: LST is done.

Day 16, 1st of October 2020: Nice little mandarine, full fertilization started with the mix above and using epsom granulades those white balls. Day 17, 2nd of October 2020: LST ✔️

Day 22, 7th of October 2020: All good. I have done some more LST and everything continues the same way :) Day 23, 8th of October 2020: FIMming is done as well🤪

Day 29, 14th of October 2020: First day of the new 5th week. She grows a bit slower. Due to LST training she looks smaller she is bent and pulled. It clearly can be seen how the new branches coming because I bent the main stalk. All good by the way and everything continues the same way every 2nd day fertilization with the mix above. I will be back with more training on this week. Excited 😁

Day 37, 21st of October 2020... She acts like started flowering as it can be seen lot new branches she was born to get LST LOL.... Absolutely 💯 This genetics loves LST. Rapidly started growing and very well handling it. Beautiful tho... I thought she struggles a bit but no she isnnot at all..... I needed to switch the red light off to slow a bit down the growth so only blue and white lights on. But at 11 pm to 11 am there is a plant in the tent so that time the red has to be on.... All good everything continues the same way fertilization etc... I am just crazy for her ... ah yes LST keeps going on and considering topping soon.... Day 39 23rd of October 2020: Topping is done 8x - 8 branches

Day 46, 30th of October 2020: What can I say? Look at her and it explains everything .... I went on holiday for 6 days my friend looked after her when inwas back I didn't believe what I saw how much she grew.... I really need to make her flower before I can not control, smell is coming also I just placed an order to have an extraction fan kit with filter..... I needed to do LST so the first 3 pictures before the rest is taken after... 24 hours darkness is set to be and then switches the lamp to 12/12.... Time to flower...... Next week starts more aggressive fertilization as well.

Day 51, 4th of November 2020: The 3rd day since the lamp switched to be 12/12... I raised up the nutrition intake as it can be seen above only the BioBizz family 2ml/l and removed some LST because the plant remains in shape or just set a bit but nothing significant.... She looks really bushy good genetics and strech is on the way..... 😅 Nothing really to report there is crazy 2-3 weeks from now ;) ;)

Day 58, 11th of November 2020: I set the lamp 15 minutes shorter to switch off earlier so she receives 11:45 of darkness. I would like to imitate the nature when longer nights come with time till the 4th week (when she will receive 13 hours darkness a day 15 minutes minus 4 times = 1hour) so every week 15 min longer darkness for 4 weeks and then back to 12/12 to have bigger buds from the 4th week.... My cute Red Mandarine. Hopefully streching stops bud sites are appearing pistils are coming out showing her sex. Good job Sweet Seeds..... Nice lady I wanna see that red colour lol Fertilization happens every 2nd day with the mix and ratio above. Let's go ;)

Day 65, 17th of November 2020 Happiness! Streching has stopped creating my buds. (Seems to be doing it). I am waiting for the red colour to be appeared.... hopefully soon she rewards me with that too. Looking strong and nice I am happy. Only thing to do is to wait ✋ Some lollipopping (defoliation) has been done and also removed all the old LST's as the plant remains in shape from now. Fertilization is still the same like before happens every 2nd day with the ratio and mix above. The lamp is on 11.30 min and off 12.30 min. Last week was 15 min longer light cycle.... So every week 15 min shorter light cycle until the 5th week. So far -30 min. It switches on at 6 am and off at 17.30 pm.

Day 73, 25th of November 2020: Red Mandarine still not red unfortunately.... hope she will be lol. There is no any issue at all all good not much to report. Let's say we are half way. Buds on the way just need to wait to be done :) Fertilization is still the same every second day with the rationand mixture above stated. The lamp is on 11.15 min and off 12.45 min. Last week was 15 min longer light cycle.... So every week 15 min shorter light cycle until the 5th week. So far -45 min. It switches on at 6 am and off at 17.15 pm.

Day 80, 2nd of December 2020: Looking like a christmas tree nice triangle. Hehe nice buds are getting thick but red or purple colour unfortunately does not appear sonshe might be a green pheno. No problem still beautiful but it may come innthe end of the flower cycle let's see. All good the lamp is now on 11 hours and off 13 hours. Every week 15 minutes was taken off and after 4 weeks here we go. Strated 12/12 and now 13/11 wanted try to imitate the nature as the light days are getting shorter. Fertilization has changed no more epsom salt from this week and I will stop giving nitrogen as well from next week. Great job Sweet Seeds. Nice genetics :) Lovely plant!
