Tangerine Dream PC Grow!

Well... I'm not an expert in any way but I would really bet my money on the soil.
If I were you, and I had the possibility, I would buy a known good soil mixture to rule it out (I myself use Bio Bizz All Mix which has a PH value of 6.2-6..

I must say that I don't think the light spectrum has anything to do with it either.


Best of luck!

Hey chronic,

You've got a great PC setup here. Tangerine dream will be an exciting one to grow in it.

This is probably the issue - start in good soil, with good ph. Get a name brand until everything else is squared away.

I'm subbed and will be following - keep up the good work.


Happy Growing.

how close is the plant to the lights? seedlings dont like to be too close to the light, the heat stresses them and slows growth.

Thanks for all the help guys- +rep for all the great advice

I am taking overtheman's and idontlikesociety's advice and transplanting on the 26th. Hopefully it's not too late, cause I peeked in on my lady today and her leaves were very droopy and even yellowing at the edges somewhat. The soil, however, literally felt like a rock. Im beginning to think this is because she is right next to my PC fan so when I water her she quickly dries out and hardens. I broke up the soil by squeezing the cup: the soil broke up nicely and felt normal again, I wish I had done this ages ago. Then I heavily watered, I'm really hoping she responds positively to this.

Avrum that is a great tip, I literally had her inches from the lights just because they're CFL's and I thought the closer the better. Now that you say that I have moved her down a couple inches. Thanks alot!

I will post an update with pics in the next couple days with how she responds to our therapy.

Thanks everybody for the input

anytime partner. i have a tangerine dream seed and i will grow it some day, probably in a small space like yours, so im excited about seeing what will come out.

just wondering how quite are your fans

it's a constant hum, but its not really intrusive. it just seems like the computer is on.

it actually gets alot quieter when I have these activated carbon filter pads attached to it form both sides. then i could barely hear it, but the PC fan wasnt strong enough and the airflow got alot slower.

so for now, i took off the filter pads until she starts to stink

Don't stress, chron - this is a learning experience for all of us. Avrum made an important point - think less with your seedlings. They're like children, they thrive on simplicity and consistency.

Now get rolling and let's see this PC in full swing!

Any updates?
