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.
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.
Thanks mr2shim! I was just like you not long ago, when I came across SCOTTYBALLS' grow journal.... the rest is history.
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".
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.
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.
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!

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.
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...
