40x40x120cm Tangerine Dream+Cannatonic

[Torbo]

On the 10 year anniversery of my last grow I felt like it was time to give it another shot.
This will be my 3rd grow and the last time in this tent I managed to squeze out around 7,7 oz (220grams) with great quality.
Probably wont get as big a harvest this time due less lights but I dont even smoke anymore so I don't really care that much.
Due to different living conditions I had to switch out some of the equipment since last time so this grow I'm using a 60W full cycle LED + 2 55w PL-L lights (2700k).
I was a little sloppy while trying to germinate and drowned 2 of the seeds resulting in 2 plants which has come a few days further than the other two but I think I will be able to manage.
The two on the right are Cannatonic from Resin Seeds and the two on the left are Tangerine Dream from Barney's farm.


These are some pics from the first 17 days under 18/6.
I'm not going to veg them for much longer due the small pots (6,5litres) and the small amount of space. At this moment I'm just waiting for the soil to dry out so that I can top the pots up with soil and those brown drainage balls (don't know the english word for them).
The temp is between 21-29 degrees celsius and the humidity around 35. (I know this is a bit on the low end but I live in an extremely dry area and cannot seem to get it much higher at the moment).

Happy growing!

They look happy for 18 days. I like the side lights you are using. I'll ride with you for a while if you don't mind. Thanks for sharing your garden.

Thanks! Yeah I've read your posts in a couple threads and would gladly have you by my side.

Today I've topped up all the pots with soil (and those brown drainage balls, please teach me the english name for them).
Now I'll just let them settle for a few days before switching to 12/12.

 

[Torbo]

So I have flipped the switch and yesterday was the first day for the girls with 12/12. I believe they allready are starting to stretch and today I updated the LST. My thought is to make as many budsites as possible "viewable" from the top while pulling the top as close as possible to the side lights.
Unfortunately one of the TD's is a much slower grower than the others so I guess I'll skip the LST on that one.

The girls keep growing and I've put the light a little closer so it now sits at 40cm above the canopy and they seem to be liking it.
They also just recieved their first feeding with the water (very small dose of canna terra flores).

I find it pretty interresting that one of the cannatonics is growing with 7 fingers and looks the most sativa of the bunch. I thought I would see that kind of behavior from the Tangerines, not the cannatonics.

those brown drainage balls, please teach me the english name for them

That's 'expanded clay' or 'clay pebbles'. The german name is 'Blähton'.

Grow on.

Thanks!
The swedish word is "lecakulor" but I only got the result "play-balls" when I tried to translate it, and that just did'nt seem right

looks really interesting with the side lights, i will follow the report

The "slow-grower" is the first one to show me her calyxes! <3

Well they keep growing and I keep pulling them down with strings. It's an endless lovegame we have, me and my girls:

 

[Torbo]

I am starting to second-guess if I mixed up the seeds while planting. The cannatonics are really stretching and the Tangerine Dreams are falling behind. So I decided to put the TD's on boxes to get as close to the light as the CT's. Perhaps the TD's are just slower starters or the luck of the draw has put it so that I have sativa leaning CT's and indica leaning TD's. Anyone have any experience with this?

Now they're more at level atleast.

Hey hey
I had 3 seeds of the Tangerine Dream, one of which was definitely more Indica-like in growth, small compact and very wide. The other two were rather monsters ^^ large and also wide. In any case, all three were very tasty and productive.

Thx for your reply!
I was really hoping to get the sativa dominated TD phenos to be honest, that's pretty much why I choose the strain. (to get a energetic high without paranoia). But both of the CT's look more sativa than the TD's even if stretch is not considered so I guess that's my luck of the draw. They smell really amazing tho!
How would you descripe the high on the indica tangerine?

Lightweight expanded clay aggregate (LECA)

Often also called Hydroton which is a brand name for it.

Thanks! I will try and memorize that.

Also the indica Tangerine had a very clear high, pleasant body feeling there is also, wait and see maybe there is still something in the stretch.

In any case, very tasty Terps.

I just have the Tangerine Dream as Purple Pheno in the tent, but is a cutting of mine. End flowering week 8

 

[Torbo]

Things are starting to happen, the TD's seem to be stretching and atleast 1 of them is now taller than the CT's (while on the boxes) so hopefully I can remove the boxes in a few days.
I think they look happy but if anyone has any input I would gladly take it:

They've also really started chuggin water, and for the next watering I'm up from 30ml to 45ml terra flores/10L water.

Looking good!

It's what comes out when you have too much gas and shit like a rabbit at the same time. They harden it in an oven like clay (sorry
