New Grower New Grower Tangerine Dream

Autoseeds is still my favorite. Their autos look just like photos when their done. Autoseeds is the yield king of autos. But they are in Spain so for USA growers mephisto is very handy.

I’m not upset with the way my girl has been growing from Growers Choice but they gave no free seeds haha

Nice! Yeah Mephisto hooks it's customers up good I made the mistake of not ordering directly threw them with my first Mephistos and got no freebies other than two random stickers and a pin.

Hi all! Sorry I haven’t been around, so much going on here. Fullauto looks like you’ve got quite the green thumb, your plants look incredible. They remind me of my Growers Choice girls — every time I took a leaf, 3 grew back! I bet you are getting the idea what I’m talking about. If you don’t remove a ton all at once, or a few every time you look at the plant, she will reach out and swallow you. I was behind the eight ball all the time. A few times, I did take too many leaves, but then a week later it seemed they all grew back. Do the best you can. At a certain point they stop growing new leaves, it seemed to coincide with the end of the stretch — and then you have to be real careful what you take. I took too much from GG, but learned my lesson and corrected with the NLs. Tangerine Dream has a lot more indica in her, they grow bushy with leaves.

My tap water comes in at 360 ppm of crap the ladies probably can’t use. It is chlorinated. Worse than chlorine though is chloramine — that won’t air off if you leave it to sit. Man O Green clued me in to dosing my tap water at 50mg per gallon with powdered ascorbic acid — dirt cheap on Amazon, and that fixed the chlorine/chloramine potential issues. He also suggested I dilute my tap water half and half with pure 0 ppm RO water. I get refills at the corner store for 39 cents a gallon. So I end up giving them half and half with a starting ppm of 180. In a pinch though — straight tap. No issues. At one point, I tried to go straight RO and had poor results though, voodoo pH values, kept recalibrating the meters thought the readings were off kind of thing, so I went back to half and half.

I love the GH Flora series line. Very simple to understand and adjust, predictable results. Used the entire lineup until I switched to Megacrop. Still use the diamond nectar. Not entirely happy with the MC either, not convinced, may yet return to GH still have plenty of product.

Anyways sorry to be long winded, everything looks to be going great.

Thank you @davisgirl! Lol ya I pull 10 leaves at night and wake up and can’t even tell where I pulled them from lol. Ya I’ll try some of those tap water tricks for sure! Cool ya I only have the trio and bought florakleen which seems like a good thing to have. I might add more for flower.

I still have 3 GG seeds and 1 TG seed so I’ll be going through some GC genetics again. I was happy that it took a little longer in Veg for my first grow. It allowed me to learn a bit more I think.

Yes, the extended veg time was a blessing in disguise for me too. It allowed the plant to somewhat gracefully recover from my attempts to stress and stunt it. :smoking:

That gives me a lot of hope. I guess I should pull more leaves from my plant. I like making butter with the leaves! It’s really tasty and gives you a little feel good, you know what I mean?

She just started preflower so I should be good to keep a little defoliation right?

Yes, now would be the perfect time to keep the lights shining onto possible budsites. Do you have a journal? I’d love to follow along, tag me in!

You can shut your lights off for a minute to take some photos it won’t hurt anything.
