Plant has come to a finish and had about 30 % amber trichs. White widow auto came down exactly 13 weeks from seed and is nicely done. Pine smells all the way , looking forward to testing when dry. :) The weight is in and it's a record for me. I froze over 400g of fresh bud to dry ice and press into rosin . 2 ounces of this was top flower the rest all popcorn bud but no sticks . The rest of it dried was 21 ounces and thats my personal best from a single plant let alone an automatic variety. She smokes well but buds appearence is a little loose and foxtaily however its all flower and 21 oz of it to boot :)

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 💨💨

Day 49 - 14th Day of Flower I'm starting to really enjoy this part of the grow. That said the amount they have stretched is crazy! My lights are maxed out height wise and they are only just 18" above the tallest colas so I really hope they finish up stretching soon. Nutes: I added PK13/14 for fridays feed and they seem to have responded really well to it. They have been fed every other day as they aren't quite drying up in 24 hours. One thing I have noticed this week is the smell! They have become incredibly pungent. Everytime i go in the tent I have to change my clothes as they just smell so much. The fan leaves around the bud sites are becoming sticky! I have taken the smallest one out to photograph this week. It was sick when i got it as cutting so wasn't topped as early as the others. That said it seems to have grown into a really nice shape and has lots of buds developing. No problems really this week. Just a bit of mild light burn which I kept on top of. They will have 1 more defoliation this week and then I'll leave them be.

Good yielder, give them least 9 week flowering. Can take a good feed, i suggest to cut of N last 2 weeks. Had 2 pheno. 1 is very bubblegum type of smell and the other is just slight fruity. Harvested 3 plants. 1 was 56.20 dry at 52%RH 2 was 52.33 grams dry at 52%RH 3 was 80.23 grams dry at 55%rh Total=188.76 grams for 3 plants All the plants Peyote critical Orange SHerbert Candy Dawg where flowered under 300W Led Organic way. Total sum of grams for all plants 401.32 grams = 1.3333gram per watt Will i be growing this for the future? Nope, i'm looking for something more unique for my taste. Imo pretty generic kind of weed. Will update later for taste after 4 week cure

This was a great experience and something I have looked forward to for 19 YEARS!!!!!! Thats right, my very first attempt was a summer when I was 14 in a backyard with mediocre results and no flower but that was my very first grow ever. 19 years later its fully legal and here I am getting 36 grams of decent bud grown by the sun in a very questionable cannabis climate!!! NO COMPLAINTS HERE!!!!!!!😋 This diary was never about getting giant buds or the best flowers but more about I'm growing ORGANIC PINEAPPLE EXPRESS IN MY BACKYARD literally a dream come true, to do this worry free, 100% legal. As far as the grow goes I will certainly have some new strategies next year, I think a plastic pot would have been better to keep the heat in at night time with the cool temps earlier on in summer. Maybe even some minor insulation would be a good idea?!?! I'll invent the canadian outdoor cannabis pot hahahah I did not scrog the lady but I did use some yoyos to pull down the outer branches to help the flowers get even light. Will try folair feeding as well next time. I also dried her outside! and trimmed her outside to, she got the full outdoor experience. I just cut the plant and hung her under the deck, worked out good as it was a fairly dry week and she dried out fairly slowly, a little quicker than the tent plants. Now in about a week or 2, maybe a small cure at least first I will be doing the end game goal, smoking endless doobies of pineapple express while watching pineapple express!!!!!!!!! Thanks everyone for following along, next year I hope to double this number!! Just for the challenge 😎

I love Sweet Seeds for the incredible variety of possibilities it offers and F1 or FVs that are, I am practically a sort of autoflowering that you have to send in bloom with the classic passage 18> 12 typical of photoperiodes. What purpose does it serve? Be the lovers of the topping have already understood me, the autoflowering are difficult to work as well as almost all flourish too early for this technique. Send in bloom whenever you want to make topping and have a very fast bloom of 6 weeks. In fact she's the only fast and it's much later than anything so much that I started the booster. Feeding >>> Plagron Alga Bloom 4ml / lt + Green sensation 1 ml / lt

04/26/24. Orchids. Going into week 6. I have #1 just where I want her. #2 isn’t exactly how I’d like but much MUCH better than where she was. A little uneven still, but I can’t complain. She’s still VERY dark and I’m emphasizing an issue on her leaf which I still haven’t figured out if it was caused from nutrient burn or ph. Either way, still haven’t fed either girls since the tea ONE time awhile back. #1 has lightened up a LOT and looks about right to me now. Transplanted both on the 21st, I believe it was. I’m not sure if I’ll flip them to flower now or wait until they’re 8 weeks. Guess we’ll see. Until next time

Getting super fat, calyx's have started turning a bit purple. Was concerned it was bud rot, inspected with jewelers loupe. Seems fine, will watch closely. I have cloudy trichromes, no ambers yet.

D-77 : Girls are going well and they are beautyful but, they are growing alot less than expected. They are 30cm behind they should be. I hope it is because of all the effort I made on the mainlining process at the beginning....
