👉The shortest summary of this plant would be that this plant maxed itself out in its one gallon pot. I placed it directly into the pot after sprouting its tap root. The plant grew quickly and flourished…for being in a one gallon pot. The branches were stiff and the trunk was solid. None of the branches needed supports when the buds got big. It was the perfect height for the tent, and didn’t spread out. It didn’t like the nutrient levels very high. Any issues were quickly mitigated as I become more familiar with the magical plant that is cannabis. There was minimal larf due to pruning. The aroma of the plant was a pleasant typical cannabis aroma. Very sticky to the touch, with a pin-sol smell left on my fingers. The leaves faded a yellowish hue, and the buds got a little light color of purple on the edges. The Buds were long and thick. The pistols turned a nice orange. I harvested the plant when the trichomes were mostly cloudy, a few ambers, and a few clears. 👉At six weeks in jars the aroma is lightly sweet and citrus and sweeps into my nostrils as I open the jar. The buds are firm and dense. There resin coats it like a crust. When I pinch off a portion for a bong hit a citrus-y smooth aroma hits my nostrils, and is reminiscent of orange sherbet. The The portion removed is sticky and holds together and I stuff it into the bowl. The flavor at exhale is mild and citrus-y, again the . The after taste that lingers is delightful and sweetly delicious. A head rush quickly follows and I am feeling happy and energetic almost right away! The really strong buzz is a little bit of a creeping sensation and won’t be fully realized until about 20 minutes later. It’s strong enough to make me feel nearly confused and distracted, but it’s easy to become focused on the task at hand. Or…just veg out watching a space sci-fi movie or sitting in the room, the black light on and Robin Trower's Bridge of Sighs blasting on the stereo. The buzz last’s for a long time and tapers off slower than it creeped in. It passes the one hit high test for me. Two or three hits is a very strong buzz! I wouldn’t be toking this close to bed time, but after an evening of enjoying Tangerine Dream I have had no problems sleeping. This is my favorite strain of those Ive grown so far.

👉This Tangerine Dream was grown in a 1 gallon cloth pot in Coco coir with 20% expanded clay pebbles. I used the full line Flora Series of nutrients from General Hydroponics mixed using the Drain to Waste feed chart. I mixed the nutrients at the upper level of the recommended EC from the chart. The plant preferred the lower limits of EC towards the end of the grow. This plant was sturdy and needed no support for the branches when the buds were full. It reached its potential in it's one gallon pot, and made me grin with amazement every time I opened the tent. 👉I chose this day to harvest the based on its trichome status. Mostly cloudy, a few amber and very few clear. The lower on the plant you go the more clears and and fewer amber. I wanted this ratio for the more uppy buzz that a good sativa can give you. The plant is Sativa dominant and had all the characteristics of the typical sativa. When it began gaining height I was slightly worried it would go into a real stretch. Fortunately it was a nice modest height of 31". The branches didn't spread out and grew almost straight up making the plant a nice manageable fun factory. The branches were stiff and sturdy. I didn't have to support any of the colas. Oh...btw...I treated this plant like every plant on the planet and supplied nutrients to the plant all the way to day of harvest. I don't give a shit that every nutrient company, seed company or any grower on this site think. So please don't bother engaging me in this conversation unless you can bring real scientific research to the conversation. But I digress. 👉To harvest the plant I started at the lowest branch. I remove the large leaves, and popcorn and gave it a wet trim. The buds didn't have lots of sugar leaves so it went easy. Only needed to scrape the scissors a couple of times. I weighed and recorded each colas wet wet and put them on clothes pins with corresponding letters to the log. There was minimal larf due to the selective pruning I did both in veg and flower. I hung each cola on the rack with an oscillating floor standing fan (the kind with a narrow tall profile). I left them in the light breeze of the fan overnight and till the next evening after dinner. Then each was put inside a paper sack with the top open. after 24 hours I folded the tops closed. I would check the buds as often as I could to insure they weren't at risk for mold. My goal was to slow the drying out as slow as I dared. I would weigh the buds and compare the weight to the wet weight and see what percentage of moisture was gone. My goal was 70-75% in weight loss. When the first buds met that goal I would place them in the jars (marked with letters to correspond to the log) with a small hygrometer. The buds started going into the jars on the 5th day after harvest and all were in jars by the 6th day. I monitored each jars hygrometer. I would open the jars to release the excess humidity and eventually get the moisture level stable at 62%. The bigger the buds the longer it took. When the buds were all stable at 62% I weighed them and logged the weight. I left the colas as intact as possible and handled them as little as possible as well. Most of the stem was removed from the colas so they would fit in the jars. Lots of dense crystal coated buds of joy! I put the Queen cola in the bigger cookie jar because it will be my primary bud to consume. I also sample different buds as time passes to see what differences may be in different level buds. Usually all the colas are about the same, but the Queen is always bigger and therefor funner. I Have a Trim Tray (has a screen build in with a catch tray under), and the trim from the buds was done over the buds. When that was bone dry I ground it up with my hands and scraped it back and forth over the screen. After I thin Ive sifted enough I lift the screen tray off the catch tray and use a card and a brush to push the kief into a pile. I then load into a puck press and made a couple of coin sized pucks. 👉At 6 weeks in the jars the flavor and effects are really starting to blossom. I would test once a week with different bits around the plant starting around 3 weeks. the flavor was dull but the high was great. Each time after that I could tell subtle improvements. At 6 weeks I tested the Queen cola for first time and I was very pleased with the wonderfully tasty sweet citrus-y Tangerine Dream I labored on!. I felt as if all my work had paid off and I have scored big time! I fully expect the flavor and buzz to improve up to 6 more months (all my plants have so far). Happy feelings rush over me at first toke. The favors of sweet orange sherbet peek thru the pine-y stank of sativa. Fast head rush and a slow climbing buzz make boring things like mowing the large field behind my house way funner. It also makes sitting in my den with the lights out, except for the black lights, and real stoner music blasting on the surround sound as fun as it was when I was in college. Great sensory enhancing buzz 😉.

Wow! I like your spider style. That's I would call boll-o-bamboo spyder support, right?)

@@dreambomber, Thats a term I'm not familiar with. But they are bamboo garden stakes attached to the plant stand. They are there in case the branches need support or direction.
