Aug 31: now done six weeks of flowering. Started force flowering by putting her in the dark garage for 10 h plus two hours of bonus darkness by using a 730 nm far red light at dusk as a bloom booster. After three weeks of moving in and out of garage I’ve just been using the red light at dusk. I use Civil Twilight as listed on dateandtime.com for my location. Civil Twilight is getting earlier by about 3 min per night and will be at 9 pm tonight. Awesome plant should be 2-3 weeks to finish and the weather forecast is perfect for next two weeks. Should be a strong finish, and we’re still in August. Awesome. Sep 1: flowers are huge and progressing quickly. The top buds seemed to change colour a bit today. Overnight temperatures are still above 10 C so no purple colour showing yet. Maybe right at the end in a couple of weeks she’ll show some extra colour. Sep 3: buds are getting big, dense and sticky. Perfect. Sep 4: flash pics are okay if using the 730 nm far red light right after. If you don’t have a red light, don’t take flash pics of your photoperiod plants. Nice big buds are quite hard too. Very nice. #seedsman420growoff #seedsmanseeds

I made a full timelapse of the run, make sure to watch it in my harvest post! This run was a full success, thanks to good genetics + good lights + good nutrients, I'm very happy with the outcome. Thanks to everyone for reading this diary, and stay tuned for other grow reports! 😎👊

Hello. This is the end of week 13 and the beginning of week 14 of veg. Got plants going outside and inside with this strain. 6 in the greenhouse and 3 in the grow room. The twins look good. I got in the greenhouse yesterday and did some training. I got Plants #5 and #4 spread out and I will get in here tomorrow and spread out the rest. Still planning to start flowering in a couple of weeks with the help of the10 x 10 tent in the greenhouse. I've got a 15 gallon reservoir in there with hydroponic lines to each plant. So they get a bit of food for each of 6 days and I clean and refill on the 7th. Ok. Happy Smoking. Chuck.

Things are moving along nicely and they are strong bushy plants.I did some defoliation and tied down some branches on one of the three ladies.So far so good I’ll clean up the bottoms soon and possibly add a scrog net.

didn't finish the whole week of veg, stopped at 53/44 before switching to 12/12 light cycle, gave RO only final day and have switched feed to bud a and B. all photos are from day 53 and earlier. since this post and switching to flower I have taken 4 clones, 2 using clonex 2 using aloe vera. i have done a ton of lollipopping and defoliation since flip and they are stretching away! stayed tuned for week 1 flower updates :)

This week I found a hermaphrodite amongst the ladies. I got rid of it but not before it dropped a little pollen 😭.. I,ve got my fingers crossed 🤞

We had a couple unseasonably warm days this week, our wood furnace was going when the temps went up. The tent hit 27.5 degrees one day?, which resulted in the heat damage to the leaves. The leaves are also starting to die back faster. I have a feeling they may determine my harvest day instead of my trichomes. Still only some amber, maybe 5-10%, the rest are cloudy with very, very few clear

A nice bit of growth this week, one girl is shorter than the other 2, and slightly behind in terms of growth. Hoping to see a good spurt now with the first application of Evo 2.0 spray on day 25, abit more nutrients added and lights turned up to 400w. Onwards and upwards 🌱💯

Haven't seen too much calyx formation yet, just a lot of stretching. Waiting on the purple too🧐 I've been pruning out lower branches and leaves hanging close to the ground to help keep air flowing and humidity down, especially near her stalk.

Ow damn these ladies are almost done and we can not be more exited about these the smell is absolutely awesome and the buds look gorgeous. We started flushing yesterday so all the nutrients are gone and we now only give water with the awesome flawless finish from advanced nutrients and we will flush for little over a week and then we are going to harvest this is the first time we did a scrog and we must say that is was a good experience and we probably going to do it again really soon Talk next week Cheers, Nibameca

I know she yielded less than optimally, but at least she made up for it with a really unique effect. Got like 40 more seeds of this so I'm likely going to do some pheno-hunting come spring with how well she performed. Love the taste and the look of the plant. Really wish I had knowledge of the breeder so I could recommend it. But that's the risk you take with bag seed. Not giving her 10/10 because she stunted for quite a while when I got her started in soil. So she may not respond well with higher stress root-conditions.

She is fully in flower now and starting to stretch. She wasn't very thirsty, she only needed 2,4l of water this whole week. I again used 4ml of biobizz grow and bloom. I also removed a few leaves to make sure that every budsite gets enough sunlight, other ones I just tucked away.

week intel: we reached the peak of flowering stage and need to cause a little more e.c stress from this week so e.c stress is twice a week i reduced the amount of Nitrogen and calcium and stopped feeding silicate in other hand i raised the amount of base nutrient and booster short story version: more K & P - less N stresses : a little E.C stress around 1.6 and 1.7 twice a week from this week feeding: i feed them 3 times this week with this order : day 1 : i feed them high with base nutrients(calcium & micros (half dose) + Bloom) about 822 ppm - 1.6 e.c to cause a little stress. day 3 : i feed them low dose of Top-Max + B-52 around 525 ppm - 1 e.c to let them recover a little but not fully recover still a little stress will caused. day 5 : i feed them high dose of Feeding Booster around 850 ppm - 1.7 e.c to cause e.c stress again guide of the week : from this week we can cause more E.C stresses. e.c stress if done correctly is one of the very few ways to increase quality in all aspects ( color , aroma , taste , bud structure , resin contents ) but if you over do it , listen carefully brother : it can reduce quality in every aspect so always look for signs and never reach the red line.

Stück für Stück wird die Ernte eingefahren. Immer das was gerade im idealen Zustand ist. Das ganze Popcorn untenherum fällt dem Lollipopping zum Opfer. Ich habe leider keine Zeit die vielen kleinen Blüten herunter zu fieseln. Bei dieser riesigen Menge ist das aber egal.

🍊 Correction time! Alright guys, I have to admit — I totally mixed things up somewhere during transplant 😅 Turns out this one here is actually Sweet Mandarine Z, not Mental Rainbow. And the one that’s listed under Sweet Mandarine Z is in fact the Mental Rainbow 🌈😂 Unfortunately, GrowDiaries doesn’t let me edit the strain name anymore (thanks, GD 😩), but I wanted to make it clear for everyone following along. 👉 So just to keep it transparent: – This diary = Sweet Mandarine Z 🍊 – The other one = Mental Rainbow 🌈 Both are from Sweet Seeds, and both are turning out absolutely amazing 🔥 If you enjoy my grows and want to see even more updates, follow me on Instagram: @Dendegrow 🌿📸 I post there more often — with extra tips, tricks & grow insights 🌱💡 🍊 Korrektur-Post! Okay Leute, ich muss zugeben — ich habe beim Umtopfen wohl die Pflanzen vertauscht 😅 Diese hier ist nämlich Sweet Mandarine Z, und nicht Mental Rainbow. Und die, die unter Sweet Mandarine Z läuft, ist in Wahrheit die Mental Rainbow 🌈😂 Leider kann man bei GrowDiaries den Sortennamen nachträglich nicht mehr ändern (danke dafür 😩), aber ich wollte das hier klarstellen, damit alle Bescheid wissen. 👉 Zur Übersicht: – Dieses Tagebuch = Sweet Mandarine Z 🍊 – Das andere = Mental Rainbow 🌈 Beide stammen von Sweet Seeds – und beide entwickeln sich absolut großartig 🔥 Wenn euch meine Grows gefallen, folgt mir gerne auch auf Instagram: @Dend 🌿📸 Dort poste ich noch mehr Inhalte mit Infos, Tipps und Tricks rund ums Growen 🌱💡

9/19 tied up some of the drooping branches on the bottom that have fallen from their own mass/weight. Shes been smelling so so awesome this whole time. Each day more frost, resin and trichomes cover the buds 9/22 looked at trichomes through magnifier. They're magnificently long with big heads. Not very many amber heads though. Like maybe 30% clear, 60% cloudy and 10% amber. Thats just a rough guesstimate, I may change that ratio later
