Photoperiod Cannaficionado's Next Barneys Farm Grow in my 3x3

[Cannaficionado]

Tangerine Dream

Topped all the lower branches yesterday. The top 2 branches from the original top havent put enough nodes on to be beneficial yet, but I think this is where I am going to stop with this one. Now its just about lst and opening up these new tops to as much light as possible. View attachment 1581200View attachment 1581201View attachment 1581202
Took these pics before I did anything but I opened up this plant a bit after my nap today.

I think the colder temps are really slowing this plant down. Its growing and happy but just slow. So Im just gonna let this one do its thing and just manage what I have. As you can see, compared to my last post its lost a good deal of foliage. I chopped the 2 lowest branches entirely as they were now touching the dirt after they got wide enough. Chopped a bunch of big fan leaves to expose the branches to more light. To help it stretch a bit I really raised the light. Its aboyt 48 inches above now and I increased the intensity so that both plants are getting just under 350ppfd.

Working on spreading the branches of the tangerine out, did some defoliation as well. Did much more on the tangerine but I did do a little on the lemon tree. Dropped the net down, second net going in, probably in another couple weeks

Pots were bone freaking dry today and got hydrophobic so I gave each pot 2 gallons of ph'd water with fox farm sledgehammer to add some yucca. Took a while for the first 1/2 gallon to sink in, but the pots were about the weight of a 5 gallon that needed water and they are 10s.....

Either way they got their water, thermometer/humidity guage fell into the saucer of a pot amd is waterlogged, dont pay attention to that

Little update after the flop back to the 18/6 schedule, tangerine dream is making its own little single pot jungle. Branches flying out of every single node. All the extra light it was getting was well used, but I had to wrangle that crap back in because its just too dense for my liking. Got some before and after pics. Trying to keep the lollipopping kind of tight on this one, got plenty of bud sites but I really want nice fat tops on this plant so Im working on keeping a well trimmed plant here and Im just gonna defoliate the lemon tree when needed.

Before

After

Lemon tree grew a lot after the dousing yesterday too

Only thing I see now is a bit of yellowing on new growth so the next watering is gonna be a full feeding at 650-700ppm for both. Might go with plain filtered water instead of spring water. Thinking the cal/mag content in the spring water may be starting to build up, spring water has a surprisingly decent content of each but without anything else I think it might be starting to cause a lockout of some kind with the imbalance.

Had a power outage today, was informed that power was shut off from 10am to 3pm. 5 hours of complete darkness in the middle of my on cycle...hopefully this doesnt cause issues....ive never looked at what it can do during veg...pretty sure Im safe.

Plants will be fine. Imagine if they were outside and had a very cloudy, rainy, dark day. No harm from that right?

Thats kinda what I was thinking but even on a cloudy day they still get something. Oh well nothing I can do about it now lmao

Things are looking really good in the tent today and its super surprising. Now that the heat is off the tent doesnt get above 67° humidity is getting better though, took down the humidifier, not needed anymore. But some explosive growth on both plants over the last few days.

Thinking about switiching to flower soon. Maybe within the next month or so.

Thought Id throw up an update after watering the tangerine yesterday, and the lemon tree today. Keep in mind when you see my thermometer and humidity guage, the exhaust vent on my drier came loose and fell out of the wall so my humidity is sky high down there especially for the air temps.

I decided to include this pic of yellowing tips just because its happening but I know the plant was under-fed so Im pretty sure just like the tangerine, it will bounce back within a day because it was doing the same thing.

Trimmed a bit of her again yesterday...shes definitely thriving just keeps growing no matter what conditions are like or how much I chop on her. Excited for flowering.

Like I said this is mostly just for temps, humidity is accurate but not really relevant as it will be down in the normal range in a few hours. Also before I forget to mention it both feeds were about 550ppm at exactly half of the feeding schedules dosings so thats about where I want it, slightly lighter than normal. I think there is still food trapped in the soil so I dont really wanna go ham on feeding.

Gorgeous! You're doing a wonderful job.
