New Grower Two Tangerine Dream in a tent

Forgot to show the branching... holy moly, every branch is a tree on its own!

Day 72 / Week 10.25 - Shit's about to get...
76d/72n @35-40%humidity
pH 6.2-6.5 in rez, 6.5-7.2 in soil
950ppm = 2ml/L BigBud, 2ml/L CalMag, 3ml/L Micro, 3ml/L Bloom, 2ml/L Grow

Some people elsewhere have chopped this strain at 10wks from seed, I guess in a super perfect world, that maybe could happen - definitely not here tho. I'm guessing minimum another 2-3 weeks of fattening up, maybe 4 till chop, but the frost is starting to look SO good now.

Submersible pump arrived yesterday, and I'm leaving it running all the time - these nutes separate really quickly and it gets all grainy in the bottom of the rez. I'm still dealing with the related pH fluctuations both in the rez and soil.The soil is almost stabilized (according to my shitty meter / Acurate8 on the way) on the alkaline side, so watering on the lower end should at least provide some variability for the roots. Looking back at my log for Sally *(Critical Purple)* hand feeding @ 6.5 seemed to work well, so I'm going to work with as close to straight 6.5 as I can thru the rest of this grow. The low pH flush after the super high 7's swing gave the rare but beautiful molybdenum deficiency visible in the reddening of the tops. I've got her back to a good place now and lowers aren't actually showing this def at all, she's ripenening up reaaaaaaly nicely and I'll have to do a staggered harvest as the layers of buds are pretty insane...I haven't even hit the Overdrive yet, but am adding it into the next rez refill (Sunday?) at full strength. Maintain that for the rest of the week and depending on how she looks, start top down flush the following week with plain water at 6.5. Overdrive gave Sally a full second wind and she ran another 3 weeks and could have even gone longer if I weren't going away at the time. If that happens here, I might be in trouble ...Tanya (TD2) is about to turn crazy on me too...more about her in a moment.

TL/DR... PICS!
:smoking: I haven't actually counted the tops, nor will I be able to until the end... it's a cube of buds, lots of airflow and humidity low.

In tent w/ flash

In 3000k light - FINALLY found accurate colour balance on my phone...

Jrok, its budding up nicely, man! Lots of nice tasty buds on that girl! She has a bit to go though. I am planning to start Overdrive when most (not all) trichs are cloudy. That seems to be the sweet spot for me.

Dang, OK. So maybe a couple weeks before the Overdrive then everything is still very sparkley, no cloudy yet....

Her sister TD2 is officially going to be a monster. She's currently about 36"w, 33”d and 28" high from the top of the pot. I'm going to have to figure something out for these two, I don't have enough light to flower both in separate spaces LOL - maybe I should move the mezeihi 600 and mars bar over TD1 to finish her off, and throw the big Mars 960w over TD2 in the 39x39x70...hmmm

Well, if she is a photo auto, you probably could veg her until the other is closer.

I have doubts about her being a photoauto, I think the stresses caused her to stall setting into bud - she seems to be getting back on track now, so unless I go effin' stuff up again I'm not going to have that luck...maybe just maybe she will be 'right on time' with her sister's completion...and that would work out really nicely.

Something arty for Sunday... Day 81

Well, you better hope that she has very little flowering stretch, my friend! If she doubles in height, you will have an interesting situation!

TD1 looks great, man! I can't believe she has no cloudy trichs yet, as she looks so mature. I doubt you have two weeks before switching to another two weeks. She looks like she should be switching to Overdrive for the last two weeks very soon.

LOL yeah, TD2 is showing more pistols and growing 2-4" in height everyday I believe the preflowering stretch is just about to finish up and her sister didn't really gain much height after that. So maybe it's done? I think she'll be good, but I need to throw more light at her asap! I don't really wanna go shelling out another $500 and I doubt @MarshydroTina wants to give me a light to add, but I'd sure appreciate it! Need TD1 to finish so I can snag back the reflector960, but don't want to rush her either...not sure what to do other then toss a handful of cfls or T5's into the canopy

As for TD1, trichs are still forming, all clear, and she's still stacking a lot of new white hairs. I'm only a week and a half into BigBud with her (hit it late as I hadn't pulled TD2 off the rez). I'll finish up this week's recipe and probably start adding in the OD midweek and cutting out the grow - kept it in the mix during the pH recovery.

So I guess this is week 11 starting (of their scheduled 10weeks lol) but I hold a lot of the fault in my own hands - and rootfarm 'coco hydro mix' ... keepin on keeping on

 

[Iriee Vibez]

Right on, man! TD1 will be amazing in her own right if she is still stacking buds! Can't wait to see how they finish up!
