2x2x5 Gl60 Tent, 250w Hortilux MH/HPS, Tangerine Dream

Yeah, it isn't an insane stretch, at least not one that would stop me from growing it. Especially considering how much weight she puts on and how stinky she is :D

I would say that range is on the lighter side, shoot for a bit more head room just in case. I should also mention that mine was not grown vertically, it was LSTed to form multiple tops. So i'd recommend LSTing for sure, you'll love the results.

In flowering I did some serious training, when one top became a leader I tied it down so that most the auxins would travel to ones that were lower... I did this when the stretch started and ended up with a nice, reasonably even bush. but yeah, this strain kicks ass, the samples I've taken are really tasty and the high is nice to (at least for a preme sample).

Pretty much what I've been doing man :lol: this strain is just some crazy shit... hyper stretchy, bad genetics.. macgyversmoke has some more pictures if your interested ill point you to them



Then I'll probably flower at 6 inches to be safe with the RP: HB's :) I could use some head room. Nice and relaxing :)


What size pots do you think for the HB in my tent? (5.3ft ceiling with 250w hood)

I'm using 3.5 gals but I think they might be on the larger side..
 
Yeah man, I actually love this strain, I big it up like crazy in my journal... RP has some top notch fem beans, at least the three strains I've grown have been good. I used a small pot to be honest, maybe 1gal or even a bit less, the yield is a lot better than I though it would be also. If you use 3.5 you might be okay especially if you keep up the training, and you'll get better yield. I think that would be the most though with your restrictions, you can definitely go smaller, and you won't be disappointed with the results. So yeah, I highly recommend training horizontally once you reach 6-8 nodes, un-topped. The apical meristem (main top) is much much fatter than the others on this strain, and you loose that potential if you top...

And btw, I could look up my old pics, but I'm fairly certain I initiated 12/12 at around 8in, LSTed... and she ended growing to about 2ft maybe a bit more...

Sounds good man



I'm going to cut the sativa down now.
 
Tangerine Dream Day 29:

Some big updates today.


First off, I cut down and removed the sativa pheno type. I'm now left with 2 plants.

My reasoning was that the sativa wasn't in full bloom, it would take weeks longer to flower, and would continue to stretch and fuck up my canopy. I figured the two GOOD plants would benefit far more from the extra space.

I also added another 42w CFL... so now I have a total of 84w of 2700k CFL lighting up one side, plus 250w hortilux HPS up top...

total of 334w of light now.

.

ANY suggestions for side lighting, or spots for CFLs, or even supplement LED lighting I wold be very interested. Small powerful grow lights are good investments :lol:

I smoked 3 dabs of hash oil just now so sorry for errors :lol:

I've been waiting to post pictures like this for you guys

Sativa pheno, before I cut it down. As you can see, not a GREAT plant.. Somewhat healthy though, was VERY finicky on the nutes!

Two plants, new arrangement, now spreading out the canopy

Canopy, if you look closely, you can see some serious bunches starting to form. The *more* indica pheno is in the back, frosting up quick... One in the front is more of a hybrid pheno.. I feel like it will take off soon.

Added CFL.. again, any suggestions on side/suppliment lighting (cfls, floros, LEDs etc) I would be all ears :)
I thought about hanging the CFLS down the side, but I think it will be too close/too much heat on the foliage..
1550630d1302814887-2x2x5-gl60-tent-250w-hortilux-day-29-3-.jpg




This is what were looking for, not bad for day 29 of a 70 day strain!

Extras, new glass/oil for you oil heads.

Some BHO i've been medicating with.. vacc purged 4 times.. tastes like grapes

Nice dude. Make sure you figure out a way to seal your hood, if your running ventilation through it.

I think I will be buying a cool tube next.. costly but worth it I think... Seems like a better design for the 250 in a tent.. Also most 250w hoods aren't sealed with gaskets like the 400w-600w-1000w hoods are...

Just my .02!
 
Hey Verde, your ladies are still looking lovely! Even minus one, but like you said more room for the other 2! Finally got a thread started on my grow, would love for you to check it out when you get a chance:) it's in my sig.
 
These are from yesterday, day 29.. also got some photos right after lights off

I decided to hang 2 cfls, and make more space on one side.. let me know what you guys think :peace:


Basic setup, hanging cfls on right (250w hid, 84w cfl)

Lol nice dude.. I have seen that before I believe its a genetic mutation! This TD is prone to good mutations huh LOL

Is that happening on all ur leaves?
 
asfar as i can tell just that leaf but half the plant is against a wall i will know more when i rotate them,
o and non td related note i have amber trich's on on blueberry gum, gunna chop in 2 days cant wait!
but sad its not gunna be done by 420.

and no idea how it happened it just did, this was the most normal looking tangerine i thought too, but that just freaked me out lol.
only other place ive seen it was on the pics on attitude for plush berry i think, mighta been diff strain but im pretty sure thats what it was.
 
Yeah I feel you on that mcgyver not harvesting before 420 LOL but at least you got some cool shit to stare at huh :lol:


I just got back from an Albert Hoffman bicycle recreation
