LOOKING good for 250 watts dude. Smoke looks dank, hopefully they get dense under that wattage. Nice grow

Thanks man


They would be better if they didn't stretch 5x in flower... had to top twice... so I really made twice the top colas for myself... which kind of sucks because they are all very close to eachother in the high humidity... I would have liked half as many yet twice as big top colas....... that's what you will see with the next grow! big colas :D

Day 64 tangerine dream (journal update)

The hybrid pheno and the one in the back are still fattening up..... on the hybrid, the pistils starting to pull back into the nugget, but isn't looking very finished yet... I just checked my soil and it's still a bitttt damp... So I'm going to give it a full 5 days from feeding, THEN flush (tomorrow) with 2.5 gal h2o balanced to 6.7...
Then in another 5 days I plan to flush it again if necessary (if it starts finishing before I thought it would)... but in the good case scenario I should flush twice over the period of about 11 days & then they should finish in 10-12 days from now (landing it on day 74-76).

However,
The Sativa pheno in the back is still packing on trichomes like a fucking cannabis slut wanting some cannabis dick [pollen].

But seriously. The sativa still has weeks. LOL! I have no idea how long it's going to go... the pistils are still 98% WHITE. :lol: kind of cool though, ill get some early smoke then get some super long flowering sativa, those are rare to get!headstash!
... I will most probably have the first hybrid pheno plant in jars curing by the time I cut down the sativa pheno in the back ;)

Yeah, I feel your sativa stretch pain. My sativa dominant Platinum OG grew past my light and it was almost a disaster. You managed it pretty well, tho.
EDIT:
Watch out! When humidity is that high, and your buds are that fat, you WILL get mold. Nothing is worse than cutting into a bud the size of a beer bottle only to see that soft white fungus mush destroyed its core. Happened to me once and my humidity was nowhere near what yours is.

Day 62

Barneys Farm Tangerine Dream


Shot a few photos right after lights off... to see the true colors ;)


Still looking like clear pistils, like about 2 more weeks I think. For this plant. What do you guys think?

A quick comment:
Your trichs are still mostly clear, which as we all know, means you have a few weeks yet. What concerns me is your mention of high humidity. You still have to leave the grow going for a while until maturity, so please do WHATEVER you can to get that humidity down or you will get mold no matter how much air you're blowing. In fact if mold spores are present, the fan is just helping to spread it.

Also, if you're wondering why your nugs have that 'wild' look, it's because they're heat stressed. And believe you me, I know what heat stress looks like. The plant is a survivalist, when it encounters the stress of intense heat, it sends extra chlorophyll to the buds, trying its best to keep it green against that intense heat (which the plant thinks is the sun). Heat stress compromises the overall quality of the harvested bud because they're loaded with chlorophyll and tend to be grassier. I would strongly recommend an indica dom for your next grow. You want to avoid stretches like that in the future.

Peace!

Thanks for the tip dude, cash was tight before but it isn't at the moment so I might just go get a de humidifier today.. cant cost more than $100 right?



And yeah I know about the fox tailing, trust me... but it happens all the way into the corner... and I can't help it as I have my light at the max position! These plants did some serious stretch (even after i cut them in half) and I flowered at 7 inches.. seriously. :lol: .... I was so dissapointed with the genetics at day 20 flower that I almost just ditched the genetics... but I can't start again until around july... so I wanted to get ONE harvest in on this $1,000 investment.. you dig? So I'm happy with what i get, foxtailed/slightly heat stressed or not they smell way better and taste wayyy better than what I get... and I get some pretty good shit as far as commercially grown chronic goes..

By the way I have a sensor sitting right against the nuggets on the top right under the bulb and I keep it around 75-80 (80 at the absolute hottest).... This tangerine is just real sensitive

I'm working with what I got I plan to do RP headband next flowering at 6 inches which should put it around 21-24 inches.

:lol: ok so verde gets on his shit quick ;)


i'm going to get a dehumidifier.. expecting to pay $200... damn... oh well


Anyone think I will notice a difference in resin if I can get that humidity down for the last 2 weeks? :)

I'm just going to avoid PM, or budrot... but yeah.... I've got two fans blowing, on over top the canopy and one underneath up at the colas... one is 24/7 the other goes off with lights off... that and I open the tent for a few hours each day to let them BREATHE properly, you know? So I think I'm ok for now but I will take everyones advice and get that problem fixed... I had planned on buying one next grow but oh well :lol:

Yes! Get the dehumid. You gotta get those numbers down or you might have a VERY unpleasant surprise at harvest. I would hate to see all your efforts adversely affected by mold. Mold is the enemy.

Yeah, there's nothing you can really do about top kolas too close to light. You made the wise call in going through with your grow. You pretty much did everything you could, but after a while, you can only do so much. The heat stress doesn't affect overall potency, just look, smell and taste. I had about 2.5oz of heat stressed bud from my last grow...got me as high as the rest of the premium buds, just not as pretty.

As a fellow grower, I don't want to see you get mold just on principle.

Okay, your practice seems pretty sound. You're probably okay. But please don't leave it to chance. Hook up a dehumid ASAP. I wouldn't be too concerned about resin potency, as your buds look good. Just avoid mold at all cost!

OK so I went to lowes, home depot, and costco. NONE of them carry dehumidifiers.

So it looks like I'm ordering online, better sooner than never at all I suppose.

Links for dehmidifiers being sold online will be received with much gratitude and +rep

Its the problem where I live, its usually bone dry.

I even called a knowledgeable fellow at the local hydro store and he had nothing for me, only industrial sized for big commercial ops.

My plants got drenched yesterday in the rain so when I brought them inside last night I had to leave the tent flaps open all night so it didn't become a steam room in there with all those plants drying. I checked them today and brought them back outside to enjoy the beautiful sun and it looks like the rain didn't hurt them at all. No sighs of PM or any issues.

So it's going to take probably a week to get one, better sooner than later.. ill surly use it again too!


I got everything opened up and the doors opened for a half hour with the AC off and it only went a few degrees up, but the humidity went from 65% to 51%.... so thats good!

The humidity is sitting at 54% now.. not AWFUL for a well ventilated little tent..

I'm flushing the first one tomorrow, so I should start loosing some foliage... that should let the airflow increase too...

[bookmark] Day 67 OFFICIALLY (starting at 8am today)


These photos are from day 66 right after lights off

Some interesting colors. Yes I'm aware the foxtailing is an issue but the light is at the highest it can go, canopy temp is 78 avg during lights on.







Calyx ZOOM... looking like the trichomes are starting to turn MILKY but quite a few remain CLEAR... coming up on peak THC,... I want to bring it to around 15% amber trichomes, and some nice fat ripes calyxes when I chop..



Any guesses to when it *should* be done are welcome... it's supposedly a 70 day strain, yeah right. The the sativa pheno in the back will go for weeks past that!

I already flushed the one in the front 2 days ago (all pics are from the one in the front).... I'm continuing to feed the sativa pheno in the back, pistils are beginning to turn but it has time yet...





ALSO! I ordered my Dehumidifier today! I'm managing to keep the humidity at 49-5%0 by opening the windows for an hour and a half each day to exchange the wet air.

My dehumidifier will be here within 5-10 buisness days.. I could be chopping down my hybrid phenotype before that gets here.... at least humidity will be OK by the time I harvest the sativa pheno... & The great news is that - Next grow flowering humidity will stay between 20%-30%... veg will stay around 40%-50% if possible.
