Wow she's looking lovely this week. Marching through her flowering phase. I'm getting excited about her next few weeks!! 😍

Technical and general parameters of the breeder: Mandarine XL Auto is quite a tall strain which doesn't come as a surprise due to the fact that Sativa genes dominate in it. This cross of Cream Mandarine Auto and Thai can reach 18-23% THC. As the name implies, sour-sweet citrus notes are dominant in this tangerine strain, however you can also taste a nutty flavor. The production of buds and flowers is stunning! Lavish resin covering the tops of the plants is incredibly aromatic and thick. Mandarine XL Auto gives a relaxing balanced effect. It will make you happy but it can also boost your appetite Genetics: Cream Mandarine Auto x Thai Flowering type: Automatic Strain type: Autoflowering Sex: Feminized Indica/Sativa/Ruderalis: 35/63.4/1.6% From seeds to harvest: 9 weeks Indoor height: 110-150 cm Harvest Indoor: 450-650 g/m2 Harvest Outdoor: 50-300 g/plant THC: 18-30% CBD: 0.6% Taste: Citrus fruits, Sweet, Sour, Mandarin Effect: Creativity boosting, Happy, Hungry, Psychedelic, Relaxing For cultivation I used: Cultivation area: 80x80x180cm 1x circulation fan: 15W LED lighting: Mars Hydro TS 1000 - 150W - vegetation and flowering 💡💡 Exhaust: pipe fan - RAMTT100 Odor filter: PRO-ECO HF carbon filter 160-240m3/h - 100mm - maximum air flow up to 240m3/h 4x textile flower pots 11l Substrate: Plagron Lightmix perlite coco coir Thank you to all my friends who support me in growing, who give me advice - @Happy_Rakosnicek, thank you to my friends from Grow Diaries for likes, advice and support 😍❤️❤️ Many thanks to the Ganja Farmer team for providing the sponsor seeds 🌱🌱😍 Thanks for the likes and you can follow me on Twitter 🐦: @ Targona666 Many thanks to Mars Hydro, specifically @Coco_Pan2022 for providing the Mars Hydro TS1000 sponsor light💡💡😉 Smoking Review: I will add after about 10-15 days of drying the buds 💨💨

First time growing in a long while. I set up a custom grow tent with some wood and mylar sheets. I'm using an old Rodeadro lamp for now but expecting the new Mars Hydro sometimes soon. Really doing this for the experience with no great expectations and hopeful for a fair amount of weed in the end.

01.07.26 Ja weiter geht's sind richtige Monster geworden und so wie sie im Moment aussehen werde ich wohl nicht entblättern müssen das Licht dringt schön in die Pflanzen ein ich denke Apple Betty wird wohl am meisten Ertrag bringen zusammen mit Chocobang aber GDP braucht sich nicht verstecken wir werden sehen die Frage ist nur wann in Blüte entweder in 2 Wochen oder am 01.08.26 in 2 Wochen wäre wohl besser da ich paar Sorten diese Runde hab die bis zu 11 Wochen gehen dann wäre Anfang Oktober ende sonst ende Oktober und da ist das Wetter Mist mal schauen Daumen drücken für gutes Wetter Peace 🕊️ 02.07.26 Sieht Bombe aus 03.07.26 Keine Ahnung ob es mir nur so vorkommt aber irgendwie bekommen die immer voll den Schub nach Regen sind deutlich größer geworden 04.07.26 Wetter ist schlecht keine Sonne nur Regen ich will sie bald in die Blüte schicken Daumen drücken dass das besser wird zumindest in der 2 Hälfte der Blühte . Hab noch paar Triebe gefunden die nichts werden und entfernt. Größe ist jetzt 133cm

LOW STRESS TRAINING - try it it works on almost any strain ,keeps plant height controlled,bushy and promotes more shoots exposed to light. Another good advise : monitor your plant everyday and watch closely under leaves for any small bugs,as long as you monitor and its in small scales - no problem to control best thing to do is gently and patiently squeeze 'em between fingers ,not harming the leaves. very effective against spreading ,aphids,mites,thrips. also, using natural neem oil 1% mixed in 6ph water - spraying (only vegging - NOT IN BLOOM PHASE) on leaves and bottom every 3 days during after-sun hours. - organic solution for this problem as well - neem oil stops the bugs from reproducing and slow them up

we pass 5. week, in this week i been spred my girls and make some defoliation. I had an accident when spreed but she doing just fine. grow nicely week by week. in next week i will flip them on flower mode. tent is ollmost full.

They grew alot this week and pushed in height. Now they are producing nice buds. I started giving them nutrients this week. They loved them.

Day 57. They are running amazingly good, will leave for 7-8 days more, trim heavy, defoliate and will put them into main tent. I need this space for drying ... Today only pure water, next time I will give them feed . Happy Growing !!!

Unfortunately, I had to correct the first week of flowering as the last week of the growth phase because I didn't reset my timer and the lamp therefore ran at 18/6 for another 5 days Some plants are a little lighter, some are a little darker, they all received about the same water I'm assuming it's phenos Otherwise they look really good and grow into the net. Each flower gets a field of the net Celebrate well with your loved ones, I hope you had a nice Christmas and I wish everyone a good start into the new year

***** Week 11 growth - February 13 to 19, 2021 - Week 2 Flower ***** CL1 is staying more temperamental and will start to focus a little more on her separately trying to correct. She hasn’t been giving the most run off of the group so possibly a pH issue forming, could be a little too much water for her?? CL2 has been awesome! She was slower in Veg but her tips are up and she is stretching💪 Looking like she should stack a couple of those colas👊 Also, CL1 has more branching on her just due to limited access to her in the tent compared to CL2. 2nd SCROG layer in now....finally😞 Lots of work to do in cleaning up the lower leaves next week. Will do larger leaf strip and lolipoping when they start focusing more on bud development. Light is at 24” only pulling 310 watt, and the meter at the tops of the girls is roughly 28,500LUX. It is feeling like it’s a little strong for them but it’s close......the curling leaves is slowly increasing on the tops. Nutrients switched over to flower schedule and following week 2.....but so-called back a couple of items. Adding some other items beyond IPP line so backing off some of the ppm to compensate. Still only one “feeding” per week. Early flower so hitting the microbes a little harder this week and next and then slowly start backing off. I like Remo’s Natures Candy for sweetener because it has humic, sweetener and old school molasses, amongst other things to feed the microbes as they are in coco. Bud Fusion being used now for pk boost.........no more “red kool-aid”😂 Still adding Rezin from Green Planet becuase it seems to boost my trichome quantity.....Terpinator likely this week as well......increase some of the sulfer to increase aromas. Little more detail....... Feb 13/21 - Day 8 - 3.5L watering with CalMag @ 1ml, Nature’s Candy @ 1ml, Resin @ 1.5ml Feb 14/21 - Day 9 - 2nd SCROG added today.....finally. Plucked a bunch more leaves in the process - watering with microbes only today. Recharge has some molasses in it so just adding that. - 4L water for these girls with Recharge @ 1/2 tsp/gal - 320ppm and 6.0pH Feb 15/21 - Day 10 - today is big feed day....its been 7 days. - 3L each girl with all the IPP line as listed plus silica @ 1ml, Nature’s Candy @ 1ml. (Bud Fusion was 0.2gr/L) - 1325ppm and 6.0pH - Girls gave run off at 3L today so didn’t push past that. Feb 16/21 - Day 11 - some feed left from yesterday so added 6L of plain water to dilute it and watered into the girls tonight. - 3L full feed of nutrients for each girl - 800ppm and 6.1pH - CL1 is coming out of her funk.......or she has just been Hungary the last couple of days😃👍 - CL2 is looking like she is in flower with her thicker stalks, leaf growth in bud sites, bigger buds themselves....she is well into flower now. Feb 17/21 - Day 12 - 3L each girl with Terpinator and CalMag @ 2ml, Nature’s Candy @ 1ml, Recharge @ 1/2 tsp/gal - 775ppm and 6.1pH - increased light power to 350 watts. Now at 32,500LUX.......take it slow over the next week and keep creeping up. Leaves have a bit of a taco shape coming out and looking fairly serrated at the edges.....pushing the light intensity on the tops👍 - leaf colour on the girls is very good......tips are not burnt either. - CL1, cut two lowest branches from the main stem......they are not reaching high enough on the canopy........energy suckers😀 Feb 18/21 - Day 13 -3L each girl of plain water today - added beneficial bacteria and enzymes @ 1.5ml - 330ppm and 5.9pH - was looking for a little lower pH as I have not been checking runoff. - CL1 - cut off two lower main branches from her......they weren’t going anywhere......she has too many side branches anyway. - have to do a leaf strip this weekend......start of week 3. - light power increased again, 400 watts now. Feb 19/21 - Day 14 - day out day.......they have not had one in a bit. - humidity was higher today as door to grow room closed today to assist clones with more humidity. - CL2 is looking really nice. Bud sites getting larger and not thinking there is much stretch left in them to go. - CL1 has been slightly happier the last two days......added more air movement around her to help, So that takes us through two weeks of flower now. Not knowing these girls enough yet, I suspect feeding will stop at the end of week 6. That leaves four more weeks. I will treat the next two weeks like mid flower for nutes, and the following two weeks as late flower. Feed supplements accordingly. Mimosa girls will be taller but these two are holding their own. They are rocking ETS.......looking forward to seeing the bud swelling next couple of weeks💪👍👊🙏

fast growing auto, overloaded on nutes with this one but she still produced beautiful buds

9/12 Sprayed 1 tbsp K Bicarb with 1/4tsp dawn. Only had time to use a half gallon. I've used more but with all the defoliation this seemed to work and I was in a hurry. I can't ask those watching my plants to do actual labor when I'm not home. I wouldn't want anyone working on my plants but me anyway. I defoliated dead stuff. Still have this rusty looking leaves dieing on my ice cream cake. I need to finish a little defoliating. Broke out my 100x scope and checked a few buds. Things are exploding. Another nice sunny day today. Beastie bloom had no negative effects. I'll use it again and I'll probably use cha ching as well. Went back down to defoliate a little more. I'm getting excited. Still a lot of work left but it's nice to see the progression. Had to cut out a small nug last night that looked like it might start to rot. It was probably fine but I wasn't taking chances. It's so dank and crystally. One of my mystery seeds in the 5 gallon will be done soon. Milky trichs and hard as a rock. Im hoping they will beef up a bit. Little to no amber but things are progressing so fast. I mean nights are in the 40°'s. 9/13 No need to water as it had rained so much the bags need to dry out. Sunny day today. Plants are doing great. Buds increase in bulk on the daily. Took a few pictures and defoliated what needed it. A dog was added to the grow for security. It hasn't gotten used to me yet but it's extremely loud and annoying. Nothing will get past it though. I tried to last night. I shut down the motion sensors informed the other growers (except the person who's shift it was to watch) and I couldn't make it down there on foot let alone a vehicle. Hope the dog liked me but it's certainly useful. It APPEARS we will be having some good weather so I'm excited. I think my plants will be able to finish properly. At least I hope. Either way if I have to harvest early do to the weather so he it but I'll cross that bridge when it comes. Plan to do a preventative BT spray this week. 9/14 FED TODAY. LOWERED GROW BIG TO HALF TBSP. AND AGAIN used 1/4 TBSP Beastie Bloom. Buds are swelling with the sunshine that we've had. I defoliated what needed it and found more dead foliage. It's so weird this damage. I'm pretty sure it's earwigs but the only bother new shoots so that's a good thing. Things are getting close and looking good. I need to do another app of BT. I heard a storm may be coming I'll need to check the weather. 9/15 After a few good days of weather we are in for some rain. Supposably a big storm but it looks like I won't get the worst of it. No water obviously. Something (probably earwigs or jpn beetles) eating or lollipopping lower things. They seem to leave flowers alone. It's just low shoots. Everything is flowering incredibly. I checked trichs on one of my mystery seeds and it looks done. I'm considering taking it. It's in my garage for 24 hrs of darkness and to avoid rain until I make my decision. I also took the two lowest branches off on DJ Short blueberry to taste test and see where I'm at. I probably shouldn't but o do this every year. It will be good to try the mystery bud before I harvest it all. It's just a little guy but the buds are rock hard and with the weather and pm and stuff I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet. UPDATE: APPARENTLY WE HAVE SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WARNINGS WITH GOLF BALL SIZED HAIL. I can move the other little ones in the garage but everything else is firmly rooted and have taken a beating already. I pray things will be ok. 9/16 No damage from the ridiculous storm last night. I need to spray ASAP. I have a fungal infection with just a few weeks to go. Looks like PM but I know some is a different fungal issue. I'll probably use the k bicarb or citric acid. So far no bud damage or damage up top. The things the earwigs ate were low like the lollipoped lower limbs. It's getting so close. I've been checking trichs and they look great but the buds have some filling out to do. 9/17 DID K BICARBONATE TREATMENT THIS AM. I didn't even look to see if I needed to water. Fuck. buds were soaking wet though so it must've rained. I have to go back down anyway to add a couple strings and do a little more defoliating. Did a treatment with k bicarb this morning.. 1 tbsp with dawn in a half gallon sprayer. I also need to address this earwig problem. They are ravaging some secondary lower branches and Im sure they are spreading disease. I only have a few weeks left and I want the best quality I can possibly get. I plan to put gorilla tape on the outside of the grow bag (double width) and petroleum jelly on the stems. That way they can't climb the bag. If they are in the soil of the bag hopefully the jelly will stop them. I'll also try beer as I've heard that works. I really don't want to resort to borax. Oh and I may have had a visitor last night. I'll have to check the cams. Nothing on the ones I checked but I have some game cams at different angles I haven't checked yet. It was probably just a nocturnal animal. Great to know that the dog announces though. This was at like 12:30 and I was out quick. I only have a few more weeks. I hope the cannabis gods are with me. 9/18 Whatever is eating my plants (earwigs I assume) are progressing from lower secondary or tertiary branches and new shoots to small buds. Looking at trichs some plants look ready. One seedling and the blueberries. I'd like the blueberries to go longer but I'd risk losing them. Fungal and mold issues aren't the greatest either. I was hoping for a big swell but if the weather stays raining and foggy like this it might be better to harvest a little early. I got a second opinion this morning and I'm leaning on taking the seedling and at least the one blueberry with the worst damage that dropped most of its leaves. I'll see how the bottom branch smokes this afternoon and make my decision then. Didn't feed for fear of lockout or if decide to cut. UPDATE: After the second consult with a different local grower I decided to harvest the blueberry that was furthest along and dropping it's leaves. It was done. Luckily it had been flushed with all this sheet rain we've gotten. It rains hard as I speak. Last year I think I had two strings the length of the huge garage and that lasted me all year. This one plant took an entire string to itself. If the weather cooperates this will be a good day. I also flushed the mystery seed I was going to take hoping it might fill out but trichs are very Amber and the bud is DENSE. Not risking mold or insect damage or theft. This took hours to harvest this ONE Blueberry plant. I had to harvest limbs. This was when I could see damage best. I also am curing the buds from the lower branch I took earlier and the other bud that is done. I plan on testing it out tomorrow. I could smoke now but Im already burnt and tired and want to try this with a clear head. I can't believe how long this took. One Big and one little down 10 more to go. Phone died so I couldn't take any pictures.

1st feed of green rush leafy green grow, Gaia green all purpose and power bloom as I get ready to flip this girl to flower in a week or so.

Very happy with how this lady has performed, amazing quality buds, very sticky and dense flower with a concrete smell that I love so much, which is that kind of fruity sweet flavor that this lady is able to produce, it's been a beautiful journey, I'm gonna enjoy a lot this flowers. Very recomended guys!

Tottaly forgot to take some pics from the dutch passion strains this week... all I got is a group photo and short video! Could have been a bit more hands on with the training but seems a like a nice and even canopy it´s emerging 😍 Defoliated a bit and trimmed the lower branches.

Ha ido bien. Hace 5 días que esta afuera y recibe la luz y el clima de invierno,11° a 23° Celsius y una humedad relativa del 35 al 40 %. 11 horas de luz de las cuales 5 son directas y el resto indirectas. Lo que ha hecho que los tricomas no se degraden tanto tal como los terpenos. Huele DEMASIADO en comparación cuando estaba dentro del armario de cultivo. En breves actualización con el corte final y su peso. Me gusta mucho esta genética y se ha convertido en una de mis favoritas.

Started harvesting,flushed the past few days.Will finish chopping tmw.Almost sad to see her go,she really was the most unique strain I've ever grown and I'm confident the bud is gna be top shelf.Everything is covered in thick velvet fur man I tell u,sticky smelly u name it.Thanks Barneys Farms,awesome strain.

Finish.

First proper feed, both in the tank and spraying the leaves
