dweemyss The setup is basic, lowest barrier to entry type, ordered through the world's largest on-line retailer. From order to set-up it took about 2 weeks, excluding genetics which came from Growerschoice Seeds. 3 x 3 Tent, "600" W LED (Phlizon product pulls closer to 110 W), in-line 6" variable speed fan & carbon filter, 6" 2 speed fan, four (4) 5 gal fabric pots w/coco & perlite, General Hydroponics base FloraGrow nutes and Cal-Magic. Feeding Schedule: 2 days aggressive nutes/1 day H2O. Ensuring run-off. Realistically I should only have 3 plants, but 1 tough seed pulled through unexpectedly, so four it is. Future grows will see a second light daisy chained to the Phlizon and possibly a switch to straight hydro. Week 0 - Germination 2.17: Started germination. 3 seeds with seed mat, jiffy pods, RO H2O. Seeds 3” above mat. 2.18: Overnight tap root development. 2.19 – 2.20: Seedlings in starter tray with humidity dome and mat on. 2.21: Lost 1 seedling due to operator error & 1 w/stem dmg. 2.22: Started germinating last two seeds T3 & 4.. 2.23: Transferred T1 & 2 to fabric pots w/coco & perlite. RO H2O only. Note: Mat too hot for anything under 3” raised over it. 😤 Week 1 2.24: Reversed tent airflow. Ambient temperature +5 F. Fed ½ qt seedling nutes to T1 & 2. Both 2” - 3” high. 2.25: Re-rooted T3 & 4. RH 50%+. 2.26: Nutes fed to T3. Need to re-pot T3 & 4. 2.27: T4 overcooked. T1 & 2 fed ½ qt seedling nutes. 2.28: Left alone. 3.1: T4 made it. Re-potted T3. T4 placed with T2. Seedling nutes for all. Dialing in ambient room temperatures with sunshine. 3.2: All show growth. Switched light to full spectrum. 3.3: 1 qt H2O/each. Installed 6” fan. Will need 2 more w/oscillating heads.

dweemyss Week 2 3.4: 1 qt seedling nutes for T3 & 4. 1 qt veg nutes for T1 & 2. 3.5: 1 qt veg nutes for all. 3.6: 1 qt H2O for all. Feeding schedule harmonized for all. 3.7: T4 re-potted. 1 qt veg nutes. 3.8: Light AM H2O. Switched light back to Veg only. Might have stressed seedlings with using full spectrum light too early. 3.9: 1 AM qt veg nutes. Good looking leaf growth on Veg only. 3.10: Light AM veg nutes and lite AM H2O. T4 is lagging maybe. All show growth. 6” fan dialed in.

dweemyss Week 3 3.11: I qt AM veg nutes. 73 F and 33% RH. 3.12: 1 qt AM H2O. Leaves slightly floppy this AM. Perhaps too aggressive on the watering/nutes? 73 F and 32% RH. No PM H2O. 3.13: 1 qt AM veg nutes. AM temp too low. Have to keep hallway thermostat at 69 F. 3.14: Temp better overnight @ 71 F. 1 qt AM H2O for T 1 – 3 and 1 pt for 4. Need to build saucers. No PM H2oO. 3.15: AM temp 71 F. Cut nute dose to 1 pt veg AM. Significant run off, approx 15% – 20%. Leaning towards lighter doses AM/PM. Ran tent in PM without in-line fan running to cool tent when @ 77 F. No PM nutes. Turned on full spectrum for remainder. 3.16: AM temp 71 F. It is 4 weeks since 1 & 2 germinated. Good looking w/overnight growth. Start of new feeding schedule: 2 day nutes/1 day H2O. Use aggressive veg growth schedule from nute bottle. AM nute: 3 pt/1 – 3, 1 pt/4. PM nute: 2.5 qt/all until run off occurred. 3.17: AM temp 70 F. Overslept 1.45 hrs. Need timer. 1 qt/pot approx AM H2O until 20% run-off. Flushed color from stronger nute mix. Ensure run-off on H2O days to prevent nutrient burn. Warmer temps allow use of only 6” fan. Will need air conditioner for grow #2. 1 qt/pot approx PM H2O until 20% run-off.

General observations regarding growing with coco & perlite are most welcome. Specific comments and suggestions on DIY pots & saucers and drainage set-ups & solutions would be awesome. As I have never used coco and perlite with GenHydro nutrients before, any advice is welcome!

I run a very similar set up to yourself. 20litre fabric pots on a drain to waste tray. If you dont have anywhere lower than the tent to run your drainage pipework too then I'd suggest you put all the bags in large trays and sit them on pan stands or similar. Easy/cheap DIY option meaning you can water them with run off. The water that collects in the trays can then just evaporate which will nicely lift the humidity too.

dweemyss Week 4 3.18: AM temp 70 F. AM nute: .5 gal/all. PM nute: .5 gal/all. 3.19: AM temp 69 F. No AM nute. Sponged out basin with 1 plant looking a little droopy. An article I read suggested feeding less often with heavier soakings. PM nute: .5 gal/all. #4 has a very floppy stem. It is still younger and under developed. It may need a different schedule than the other 3. 3.20: FML, big temp drop, droopy leaves etc. AM temp 64 F. Reversed airflow, now steady 70 – 71 F. No AM H2O. PM H2O: Light, 1 pt approx/plant. Leaves appear droopy, can’t assess moisture easily. 3.21: AM temp 66F. Turned on duct fan, temp to 72 F and leaves perked up. Dry out day. 3.22:AM temp 70 F. AM nute: 2 qt/all. PM nute: 2 qt/all. PM droopy leaves again. Have decided that 1 gal/day is too heavy, cut back until root development catches up. 3.23: AM temp 72 F. Dry-out day #1. Perkier plants. 3.24: AM temp 71 F. All plants hardening up.Re-potted top left (#4). Coco still much too wet from initial potting, hence stunted growth. Mixed remaining dry with the pot. Gave light PM nute; 2 qt/all. Began daily plant rotation with ½ turn to correct leaning plants. Transition to ¼ turn/day as leans are corrected. Started LST on 1-3 with bending/tucking upper fan leaves to expose lower nodes. Notes 1. Over watering is easy with coco. Less might be more. 2. Simple/cheap drainage solution: place sponges around fabric pots and squeeze periodically. Gathering 5 gal bucket lids to place under pots after perforating. 3. As previously whined, more light is needed (as is $ for light). I think pairing a 600W COB would be a significant improvement. Planned for grow #2. 3. All of the online blogs/posts mention veg/flower temp ranging between 68F – 78F during the day and slightly cooler at night. It seems that these plants respond best at the upper end of that range. 4. In early seedling stage, start nutrients. A lot of posts discourage this, but it seems that with the autos, an aggressive feeding schedule is best through early flower. I would have preferred more growth at this point (who doesn't). 5. Enough posts have convinced me to not top w/autos, but; I am going to top 1 plant to see the difference.

dweemyss Week 6 4.1: AM temp 71 F. AM nute: 1 qt 1-3; 1+ pt 4. ¼ turn. 4.2: AM temp 70 F. AM H2O: 1 qt 1-3; 1+ pt 4. ¼ turn. PM H2O: 1 qt 1-3; 1+ pt 4. Definitely have pistils on 1, but not 3. Did topping trigger flower? 4.3: AM temp 69 F. AM H2O: 1 qt 1. PM nute: 1 qt/1-2; 1 pt/3-4. ¼ turn. 4.4: AM temp 67 F. AM H2O: 1 qt/all. ¼ turn. Over watered again. Also new vegetation got some wind burn. Fan off for a few days until things harden up. 4.5: AM temp 70 F. Dry out. ¼ turn. 4.6: AM temp 71 F. Dry out. ¼ turn. 4.7: AM temp 69 F. Dry out. ¼ turn. New vegetation is recovering. 4 is looking great. Notes: 1. Week of pruning. 2. Some nute toxicity in 2. Heavy flush and dry out period. 3. Do. Not. Like. Hand. Watering. Very likely to switch back to a full hydro set up if I can't learn to back off the fluids. Over fed then the flush was almost Mississippi-like. BIG NOTE: These plants are weeds and hardy, but; best be gradual when implementing changes & transitions. I went too hard by using an aggressive veg feeding mix and a heavy fluid dosage while also pruning to shape the bushes. I almost drowned them. The plants could not exhale fast enough to keep up with the root intake. Adding insult to injury, with many older leaves removed, the usual fan setting wind-burned the newly exposed growth. FML. Diagnosed and caught (I think) in time. The stress is as bad on me as on the guinea pigs. Switching from a full hydro setup to hand watering is another change that has had unanticipated challenges.

dweemyssstarted grow question 6y ago
I am having a hard time getting a sense of the autoflower "timeline". Many breeders have these "seed to harvest" claims, such as 55 - 85 days seed to harvest etc. My grow is entering week 9, and the flowering stage is just getting started. Are these claims even worth noting?

As far as the Groowers choice seeds go, I was also confused when my Tangerine didnt finish in 65 days from seeds. That was my mis-reading what Growers choice was saying about its timeline. The time they give 55-65 days flowering is as the time from when it STARTS flowering and doesnt include vegitative growth stage, which has been averaging 4-5 weeks for me. So 95 days is the projected time line. My Tangerine went 101 days from seed. Its probably could have gone another week even. After doing some research Ive concluded that 12 weeks is a good target for auto's, but if it takes longer its probably because you have a good healthy plant.

Brave man ! I also made foliar sprays that I used well into flower, but never this late into flower, and I would stop spraying two weeks before harvest at the very least - just in case ! I used kelp and cal mag as a spray as well as co2 and sprayed beneficials like B.S. and Trychodermas too, also sprayed mag sulfur... Anyway, hope this helps ! 🚀

Her colas are all sugar white with orange highlights. 2 & 4 right behind. 3 is stacking quickly. 6.16: AM temp 71 F. AM sugar H2O: <1 qt/1, 2 & 4. Dry out for 3. Beginning H2O flushing with 1. I will take her in a week or so. 2 & 4 are right behind so I am giving them a longer flush time before harvest, about 10 days.

Any hints on finishing off plants in the final stages of blooming/ripening to ensure max deliciousness? Bud fattening, terpene and flavor strengthening etc. Thanks! 😎

Hey there ! Great question : basically trichomes take an average of two weeks to make THC, so there's very little you can do it increase potency in the final days. What you can do is encourage the production of terpenes , that's that flavour as you know ! so to do that what you can do is decrease the light in the last few days (like three days or so) before the chop. because the terpenes are volitile, even light damages them. Careful too giving a too long dark period before the chop, anything more than 24hrs and it will mess with the trychomes! Other things you do are start watering with some mollasses diluted in water (for a sweet, aniseed flavour) or flush with a chelation agent like humic or amino acids for the last week of flush. beyond that it's just boulderdask more or less. In otherwords more terpenes more flavor, so anything you can do to reduce their deterioration or increase their production is what you're looking for. Hope this helps ! 🚀

This is officially the world's longest Tangerine Dream Auto grow. I am pretty sure that the trichomes on these ladies will never completely turn milky. I've read on a few different site's posts and threads that it is not uncommon for Auto trichomes to not finish by the time the pistils are all curled and darkened up. #3's flowering stretch has been beastly; 13 inches in 2 weeks. Where she was FIM'ed, the colas have tripled in diameter. What an exciting finisher for this grow! With 1, 2 & 4 I will finish flushing and go to dark and ice water in the next few days, depending on the reluctant trichomes.

@BucketBrigade, I love the mass fist sized bud that was in one of the pics you had for that grow. If I get that kind of mass I will be very happy indeed. I think the last two weeks has been very good for the grow. It will be a 2+ week long flush with molasses water. Only one plant really has leaves dying off which is strange as they all were fed similarly. However, the smell is just out of this world, so I feel like all signs taken together are point to chop chop.

My moby dick never gazed up completely. But it made you want to clean your house and go play frisbee golf after that. How tight are the nugs?
dweemyss
dweemysscommented6y ago
@ThatoneAKguy, I had heard that sometimes with Autos, the trichomes don't always cloud up all the way. The 3 plants that are going first all have trichomes that are clear, cloudy and amber. The big majority are cloudy, so I'm thinking it's about time. The buds are all tight with the sugar leaves certain be in the nugs after trimming. I think I'll do a wet trim then clean up before the curing.
ThatoneAKguy
ThatoneAKguycommented6y ago
@dweemyss, I say go for it as long as you’ve had a little flush. I’m ALL about the wet trim. Such a pain to do all of that after they dry. A little here or there is fine but it’ll drive a man crazy if you attempt the whole thing after lol. I was just curious based on length of the grow and that you used and entry level light. Take a video and share a few more photos when you get her all done! Nice job!

Hey I have the same issue regarding flowering stage with my tangerine dreams. I have 2 plants. One started flowering 2 weeks ago and one is still on its vegetative stage. I have been puting the veg one on a 12/12 schedule 5 days ago : still not flowering. Will give it 5 more days and get back to 18/6.

dweemysscommented6y ago
@ImpatientGrower, I have neighbors with a lot of experience growing both photo and auto flowers. They have had similar issues with plants delaying the veg cycle and apparently the longer veg cycle often can set up a better harvest. Hope yours does!
ImpatientGrower
ImpatientGrowercommented6y ago
@dweemyss, Hope so too ! Eventually the plant flowered but I guess I'll never know if it's the switch in schedule or if it was just her time. Yours are looking really good. Somebody's gonna have a nice time !

TheBudWhisperercommentedweek 46y ago
Grows lookn good dude! Re: coco - starting immediately into nutes at seedling (photo or auto) was the right decision. The seedlings don’t need much early but they still need something when I’m coco due to it being a nute neutral medium. As long as you’re regularly using the calmag it should be very similar to any soil grow - just with more nutes. And don’t stress your grow light - I’ve gone several cycles in my old cabinet with a similar lamp and achieved great results under the circumstances. Upgraded recently myself to a cob system but I still utilize the old light. As far as drainage is concerned - feel free to check my first week of my crit. Kush grow - made a diy runoff tray so that every time I water - just gotta siphon out the runoff or leave it to evaporate and get a slight humidity bump. Anyhoo - good luck on this one, thy look happy and healthyhomie👌👍

Hey there, I gotta partially disagree with stick on this one, stress increases the production of trichomes, but induce it too late and all you end up getting is unripe trichomes and pushing back your harvest date. Hope I answered your question though ! anything else you need, as you know you can always drop me a message 👊
dweemyss
dweemysscommented6y ago
@CRiSPrGrow, thanks for the info. I've heard a lot of things about the dark period, with or without ice water. I confess that some of the claims seemed a bit exaggerated, but I know absolutely doodly about growing right now. I have the girls on a two week flush right now, using weak molasses water. Only one of the three plants has really seen leaves dying off, which is weird as they all were fed similarly. Otherwise everything seems on track, just a bit slower than optimum.

BucketBrigadecommentedweek 176y ago
It took mine 14 weeks and she looked like there was almost no chlorophyll left in most of her. I would have liked to see more amber than I did. But I gotta say, the taste is amazing and the high is super nice. I think yours will be even better. I think patience, in this case, will pay off.

Hi @dweemyss! Stress is known to increase resin production during the very last days of the late flowering stage, there are a few techniques you can look at: dark period, stem splitting, cold shock...it's up to you! Whatever technique you choose, please share the results with us! Happy growing 👊

@Stick, I am planning on 48 hours dark with ice water to finish the flush. Total flush time will be about 2 weeks. I will be updating the journal at harvest time. Cheers! 😎
