Tangerine Dream auto

2nd Autoflower grow (beginner) When starting this seed I soaked her for 24 hours with normal tap water. After 18 hours I gently tapped it below water surface and it sunk. Left for another 4-6 hours. Planted directly into 7.5L pots using light mix (biobizz soil) and left for 1-2 weeks. I rushed the process and thought my seed would not sprout so I tried to recover my seed. After digging and digging, not being able to find my seed I decided to leave it 4 more days. After I had checked back on her, she was growing at the side of my pot so I replanted her in the centre. Hoping not to much stress was caused 🤞🏼After re-centring her I took the pics

This week I decided to start my Low Stress Training on my auto Tangie Dream by Barney’s Farm In mind I am trying to get the most out of this as I can as I love the sweet tasting flavours. 🤤 Pushed my baby to hard and caused her to bend a small amount. Splinted her up and left her for 2-3 days. She recovered very quickly. I decided to bend her the other way this time and she seems to like it 🤞🏼 Watered her twice throughout the week. Once at the beginning with a very small amount as she seemed to be doing fine on her own. Today I added 0.6ml of root juice to a 1 litre pot of tap water. Ph level was over 9 but decreased it to around 6.5. Went online to see if it was really needed and got mixed reviews.. let me know what you think. Can you grow with biobizz soil and ferts without needing to adjust the ph?

This week I saw a big difference in the size of my leaves 🍃 I realised I should of started my LST after more growth development on my plant as I may have stunted growth in the process. I have already seen nodes appearing and cannot wait for them to develop. I have added biobizz grow and biobizz heaven along with biobizz root juice. My nutrient schedule was wrong for my last week and I cannot change it. My nutrient schedule is: Root Juice: 1.5ml Bio Grow: 0.75ml Bio Heaven: 0.75ml 1 litre of tap water. After nutrients have been added my ph balance is usually within range without needing to adjust. 6-6.5ph. Hope you guys are looking forward to seeing my baby’s final stages as much as I am. Take notes and learn from my mistakes and good luck to everyone reading.

This week the Auto Tangerine Dream is developing into a beauty! LST remarks: Very heavy handed when dealing with her as she is quite delicate. Garden wire is thin and flimsy. 1mm wire is not recommended. Once I arranged the garden wire around the plant 🌱 it looked the way I wanted it too. Top branch pulled back down as I would love to gain more bud sites and more developed buds instead of ‘popcorn buds’. Lighting: Spider farmer 1000 (SPF-1000) Each week I’ve been increasing my dimmer switch on my SPF-1000. Now running on 70% Last week was 50% I’m hoping she will take in the energy and thrive from it. Watering/Nutrients: Bio Bizz Brands only Watered 3 times this week Root juice - 1ml Bio grow - 2ml Bio heaven - 1ml Bad Points: Noticed small patch of cotton mould growing on top of soil. After researching the cause I found out it was due to overwatering. I hold my hands up, I watered her with good run off before leaving her 3/4 days. I have rearranged my grow area which now gives me a dimension of: 60L x 70W x 150H If I’ve helped at least 1 person I’ll be happy. Take care and stay tuned for next week 👍

This week I was busy and 6 days late to post this. I noticed my plant was unwell 🤒 I believed it was due to overwatering but now I think it was due to light intensity. I lowered the light intensity and she seemed to be ok 👍 since then I have slowly increased it. My spider farmer 1000 is now at 40% My stem has a very good bend in her as I started LST from seedling 🌱 if you have followed me from the beginning, you’ll know I actually creased the stem but managed to splint it up and there is no damage anymore. I started adding bloom and top max to my nutrient mix as I’m beginning to see bud sites developing. I’ve noticed that my biggest bud site is at the bottom of my plant where it has grown first and not at the top of the plant. I really found this fascinating as the biggest bud is usually found at the top. My LST has now made the biggest bud at the bottom of the stem growing upwards. I have now directed that branch a different direction using LST and now letting it grow upwards to get the most light 💡 Stayed tuned in for tomorrow. My pictures were taken 6 days ago so they are correct at time just didn’t have time to write my comments due to starting a new job.

This week she is doing well, passed the light burn stage now and growing well. My LST is starting to pay off already. I am seeing a lot more buds starting to form than I would have without doing LST

Hello guys and girls hope everyone is doing okay 👍 This week I’ve noticed that my auto tangie dream might not need as much watering as I first thought. I haven’t watered for nearly a week as my new job took over. I have now watered her with bio bizz nutes +1L of water Bio grow - 3ml Bio heaven - 3ml Alg-A-Mic - 3ml Topmax - 2ml Bio bloom - 2.5ml She is developing really well and I’m starting to see vibrant yellow and green colours where the buds are forming I’m rerouting branches so they can receive as much light as possible. Still maintaining LST and I will try to find a way to support the branches incase they get to heavy later on🤞🏼 Almost there.. I can smell the citrus’ness coming from inside my grow space and I can’t wait. Take care and talk soon

This week flew by for me, my tangerine dream auto flower is doing well. I have big white hairs coming from the bud sites and overall I am very pleased. I am managing my LST less and less as the stems are pushing the right direction for lighting and good growth. I am now considering to pull all wires away from plant and maybe just think about supporting branches. I am also thinking about defoliation but not sure if it is worth it. Watering is the same as last week and still not needing as much water as some other strains. Lighting is now at 60%, watching closely for any signs of lighting burn. Ventilation may be a factor when the lighting is turned up. Hopefully room temperature and humidity will be ok 👍 Happy with progress and can’t wait to start seeing buds developing. Stay tuned 😎

This week is going very well, I have upped the spider farmer intensity to 80% which I think the auto Tangie Dream is liking. Plant looks healthy overall with BIG BUDS inbound.. ☝️🏽☝️🏽☝️🏽 From the start I’ve been very happy growing this strain, I’ve had no major issues “yet” 🤞🏼👌 Watering per litre: Top max: 4ml Bio bloom: 4ml Bio grow: 4ml Alg a mic: 4ml Bio heaven: 5ml I’ve had to add extra ventilation into my grow space due to temperature The perfect range is between 21°c-26°c with lights on. Branches are strong and upright, the LST has really helped. I’m aiming for 3g-4g buds. My opinion is that my plant will be finished within the next 2-3 week maybe earlier 🤞🏼 Stay tuned people

Hello guys we have approached the 10th week and I’m excited to see the final stages. The plant is strong and healthy. I’m now thinking to start flushing but not sure when the best time will be. I am looking for my hairs to turn half clear and half cloudy. Not sure how to point this out but I will try my best. Watering is the same per litre: Bio grow: 4ml Bio bloom: 4ml Bio heaven: 5ml Alg a mic: 4ml Top max: 4ml Stems are holding themselves up with no need for help. Hoping it stays like that when buds get heavier. Not much else to say.. looking forward to showing you my final product ✌️🏼

This week my plant started showing signs of something going wrong 😢 There had been no major problems up to now but the Tangie visually needed some help. The week started off well, everything was normal but then a sudden heatwave lasting only a day caused my plant a lot of damage. I believe that heat stress was the cause of the problem. While I was at work temperatures exceeded 29°C. I have never allowed the temp to be above 27. I did some digging and found out the only explanation could be due heat stress. Magnesium deficiency was also another thought but I believe it’s due to heat stress as the damage was very soon after the heatwave. I have laid off the nutrients for 2-3 watering sessions as I don’t want to add any extra stress. I need to start thinking about flushing so maybe I could start now. Any help would be appreciated. Maybe 2-3 weeks left and it should be ready for harvest 🔥

Sorry for the late post guys and girls, I’m a week late but to be honest there wasn’t much to say. This week was spent recovering mostly from the nute burn and heat stress from the week before. I’m going to feed my plant nutes one more time and go for a flush. When I move into the flushing stage I am going to use flawless finish in my watering as I heard it ripens buds and gives them a finishing touch. Apart from some poorly looking fan leaves, the THC is really starting to look like a sugar coating around the buds. No leaves in and around the buds have been affected so I’m hoping everything is still okay with taste and smell. I am very pleased with the LST (low stress training) technique. It has really made a big difference in producing more main cola sites. I have taken out the nutrient Alg a mic as I have heard mixed reviews and do not want anymore stress for my plant

Hello guys and girls, I think this is going to be my last week of the flowering stage before the harvest 😍 it’s been a wonderful experience and I’ve learnt so much from 1 grow, from LST to problems with fan leaves. My buds are really nice sizes, if I could find a way to tighten them up so they look like solid buds I would be very happy but I’ve done a little research and the curing process is just as important as the grow. I have buds bigger than the length of my hand which I’m very pleased about 🤓 The hairs are nearly at 50% brown which is a good sign for harvesting. I don’t have any magnifying glass or jewellers loupe but maybe for the next 1 🤞🏼 I have now stopped all my nutrient intake and now watering with flawless finish (advanced nutrients) Only 2ml but I heard it helps use up the rest of the nutrients in the soil 👍 My fan leaves took a major hit towards the end of flowering. I think the cause was heat stress firstly. Then while the plant was stressed and trying to heal, I kept the same nutrient intake when I should have lowered it to allow for it to heal. Harvest is so near, I’m ready and waiting for my plant to develop roughly 70-80% amber hairs. Thinking to leave it in complete darkness for 24-48hrs. Heard it allows more THC growth but we will see 👍 Thank you for taking the time out and following my journey. Big up Barney’s Farms for the dope autoflower seeds. ❤️👊🏼 Till next week ✌️🏼

I’ve come to the end of my grow. Big thanks to Barney’s Farm for the potent plant. I have dried the plant out for roughly 8/9 days. It has now been curing for another 5 days so far. Probs will need 2 weeks at least. I think I trimmed it too early because if you look at the pictures I left 1 or 2 buds at the bottom of the plant 🌱 They have ripen and grown much bigger in size. They also smell a lot better. I hope my next grow will be even better. Good luck everyone and thanks for taking the time to read. ✌️🏼
