Barney's Farm - Tangerine Dream - Waterfarm!

I raised my light up about 7-8 inches this evening - I can go even a bit higher, but it doesn't look like I'll need to. My tops are getting pretty bushy now as they switch from stretching gear to budding gear... looking great so far - every day is an adventure!

Look for some pictures this weekend - probably Sunday evening.

Hey Dayzt, how tall is your tent? I've been thinking about running Tangerine Dream for my next grow, but I'm afraid I might not have the height, especially with my carbon filter, fan, and muffler all crowding the upper portion of the tent. Looking forward to Sunday's update.

My tent is 40x40x79 inches. I've got to install my filter in there sometime this weekend - should be interesting, not sure how I'm going to set it up yet. My tent is in the basement and I have a large fan drawing air out through the top but now it's starting to smell a bit.

Thanks! As you can see, it seems to take very well to LST. I didn't top this plant at all - just trained it low then let the screen do the rest.
 
Dayzt, With a lot of if's, you could exhaust into a filter located outside the tent.....I don't know if this is as efficient as drawing through the filter from inside the tent, but would make the install a lot easier.
I don't experience my TD as being that strong in aroma (nothing like Sour Diesel), it just may be my phenotype, and I have an over sized filter 24/7 inside the tent.
What I do smell is Tangerine when I open up the tent.....seems OK to me.
 
Thanks dish - yeah I agree with you, this strain doesn't smell that much like some others - not even close. I noticed the sweet tangerine smell on the stems this evening as I checked some tops, but I haven't noticed much outside of the tent yet. The wife insists she can smell it in the house now though, so I'll need to put in the air filter at least strapped up inside the tent to filter the smell inside the tent before it gets sucked out the top.

Here's the pic update that I promised - missed it Sunday evening. Enjoy! :leaf:

Wow! Talk about some wild sativa stretching. Looking awesome, Dayzt. I'm closely paying attention here. Not sure if I have the height to grow the tangerine myself. It's looking like a damn jungle in there!

Agreed - she's showing some MAJOR sativa traits now. The stretch appears to have slowed almost to a stop now and the buds are filling out more now though. She's truly a monster - I'm starting to worry now that my 400 w won't fill-out the buds and much as I'm hoping...we'll see.

Wow, so nice. Subscribed! Been thinking about doing a waterfarm grow myself.

Thanks mr2shim! I was just like you not long ago, when I came across SCOTTYBALLS' grow journal.... the rest is history.
 
I raised the light this evening for the last time - I could have left it lower, but I've found that the light spreads out more with it a bit higher and the outer branches get more light that way. The canopy is just bananas right now - tops almost everywhere you look, with the majority of them 10-12" above the screen. There's a few that are pushing 14-15" and have buds all the way down - they're gonna be some nice trees... I've been still changing the rez out once a week, every Sunday night - the plant seems to like it and I find it a good way to maintain close control over the ppms. It's a lot easier now with the RO water, not having to worry about ppms at all, and then once it has enough nutrient, the pH is not an issue either. I've found it very easy growing with the waterfarm so far compared to soil - I hope the taste is as good! I sure don't miss mixing soil recipes and transplanting...ugh.

This is exactly what I was questioning! I'm rolling with a 400w myself. Obviously canopy penetration seems like it could be an issue with a sativa like that. My tent is also smaller than yours, at 35.5" x 35.5" x 71".

How are you liking your reflector? (Xtrasun, right?) I currently have my light in an enclosed reflector, which is rigged into my ducting/cooling. I'm thinking that I'd like to try an open air reflector like yours. I'm just not sure if I want to drop another $150 on an Adjust-A-Wing reflector. I will if it's significantly better than than an Xtrasun, but I'm guessing it's mostly marketing.
 
Man... your tree looks beautiful nice job!!!!! and yes very sativa I got some TD myself I love sativas....peace!!!

Heya kriz - I was thinking about it again this evening and thought about how 'big' this plant has grown under the 400 w already, why wouldn't it continue on and push out 'big' buds as well? If anything, there will be a LOT of buds...lol.

My reflector is just some generic type bat-wing reflector from my local grow-shop. I think I paid $35 for it or something like that - nothing fancy.

Thanks budhuger - it's getting more and more exciting now! I'm kinda realizing that with this much sativa influence in my pheno I've got going here, I'm likely looking at a large amount of small bud sites as opposed to fewer, large buds... right now, I'm sure the number of branches is in the 60+ range - some looking to yield as low as a few grams per branch, up to some that are looking like they could end up being pushing about a 1/4 oz... but I don't like trying to make those kinds of guesses this early on.
 
HOLY CRAP...............................gald ive had tech issues.......................wow homes bravo........you could almost use a second screen from the looks of things.......

Hey there all - took some pics this evening. It's the end of week 4 of flowering and the plant is still looking really healthy. I've got the feeling this girl will take around 10 weeks and possibly longer to finish. She has a really sweet citrusy smell already - should be a great sweet tasting sativa smoke - can't wait!

Enjoy the pics! :leaf:

Looking amazing, Dayzt. Your grow continues to blow my mind. Question: How tall is she right now? I mean from floor to the highest top. Is she still gaining height? Thanks in advance and keep up the awesome work.

Hey kriz - from the floor to the tallest top is about one inch short of 5 feet. It doesn't appear to be getting any taller now, and the buds are slowly building up more now. The tops are turning out really stretchy but there's lots of buds covering them all the way down on most tops. I think it's going to go a bit past the end of July before harvest at this point.

I just changed out the rez this evening again as I've been every Sunday evening.
 
Dayzt that plant is huge and it is stretching like a pure sativa .....5ft. and all those buds sites wow you're doing super for a 400w , she's stretching but that inter node space is OK in proportion with buds sites.
Its going to be hard to fill all that buds with only 400w but right now it looks fantastic .....keep the pictures coming please I fallow this grow every day and my TD seeds still in the package unopened I'm not decide yet how to do this strain it seems huge I got 600w's but I thinking to go with 1000w for this one.

Lovely grow you have there.

Looks to be quite a yield, huh? Nicely done.

Thanks so much lordjin! I'm quite amazed at how big this girl has become, and now it's time for her to shine - we'll see how much she fills out but with only the 400w light, i'll be surprised to yield much more than 11-12 oz. But I'm fine with that - next round will be two waterfarms side by side in my big tent under the two 600w lights.

Awesome man - I'm glad you're enjoying the pictures! I'll start updating the pics twice a week now - things are coming along nicely so It will be good have pics more often to see the progress... I'm pretty sure the stretch stopped about a week ago, maybe less - now I'm probably looking at the end of July to the beginning of August for harvest, but being my first hydro grow, I could be over-estimating...
