40th blooming day - the buds become thicker

J1s kink is swollen now. and her pot for the drainage is cutted in the half, to go more down. the top of J1 points now in the lights direction.
by the way: J1 is 176cm now. in remember she was round about 25cm while i changed the light into the 12/12 period

since TDB and TDC are so similiar, i want to find something out...
i gave TDB a half teaspoon/1.5L of recommended sugarcane-molasses (and will do it some times again)
and am curious how the difference will be with the smoke then...

the humidity is stabilized to 48-62% - nothing moldy detected
also my pillar blows only from the entry (Homebox slots) of additional air to the bole of TDAs direction

in the next days the next nutrient solution will have more pk and less coco so still at the same EC. probably even less
plus flushing with ph regulated water

Day 55

The Plants got a K deficiency.
Ironicly the plant with the biggest symptoms has also the biggest buds. TDB who gets Molasses as only.
TDD is the only one of the Tangerines who hasnt produce acceptable and compareable buds
because of the deficiencys while overfeedings ago.

J1 is building her buds finally

EH is harvested now after giving her only ph regulated water for 4 days
she didnt produce that much and it was painful to cut the leafs full of trichomes down.
but its seriously the stickiest weed ive ever touched and im pleased to try it soon
and ill use a honeybee extrator with the 'trash' soon

Day 78

the buds became to heavy to hold them up themself
but still illness visible

 

[blake881]

what an accident.. i noticed (with help of a friend) today that TDD is actually a pure kush not tangerine dream.
now many things are making sense..
shes always overfeeded because she needs very less nutrients as the other ladys, but got always the same solution

the recognition was
- bud structure different as the other clones
first i thaught because of overfeeding and stuff

- smelling is different and remind me on the smell of the kush wich i had in summer.
that was a bloomed kush while changing back into the vegetation phase but whatever.

- the plant itself became very dark
and a friend grows pure kush wich became compareable dark too

anyways the kush is very old. or better said i should have harvested it already!
amusingly the trichomes of the kush are still mostly milky
lets fetch it up when the light turns on

80th bloom day - time to harvest again

since i know about the TDD (kush), i pulled it out of the box and began to harvest it.
trichomes are round about 90% milky, 3% clear, and 7% amber - not to late i guess
stuff about weight comes soon




here are some 'test' sidebranches of J1 and TDC next to two kush branches.

 

[blake881]

harvested everything on th 90th

the tangerine dissapointed me because it takes very much time to show me her less potential qualitatively.
i mean the buds are heavy. even to heavy for the plant himself.
but the high is modest and i excepted more from a cup winner.
also because i smoked it in a barneys coffeeshop already and it was amazing..
probably not an optimal phenotype. or barneys farm just sucks
anyway the trichomes were mostly milky. even when she could stay for 3 more weeks at least.
its for me not worthy anymore to let them continue developing at third on the 400 watt bulb with that potential.


i did a mistake about the jack herer. it was finnished already and i thaught its the late ending phenotype. but its actually the 'early' finnishing phenotype. even when she had a stretch about 700% and bloomed very late.
compared to the other jackies back in the months when they were little babies:
the J1 was the smallest one with the thickest leafs.
and ye the Jack stone is pretty hard. also the thrichomes said: harvest me dude!

so i decided to begin to flush in the 85th, gave them all a little molasses too,
and harvested everything in the 90th

by the way: the kush gave round about 30 gram. i guess completely dry 20gram
but never measured the Extrema.

here are some pictures 1 day before harvested them

Tangerine Dream
had truely to less light because of the distance to the bulb (55cm with 400watt hps)
and to less nutrients because of the kush story

 

[blake881]

TDA's trunk (yes it had 5 vegetation months + 3 blooming months time to grow)


Jack Herer
the upper side of the plant was very near to the bulb and had temperature differences between 16°-18° C during nightphase and 25°-28° C on the top during the dayphase
i guess mostly because of that the sides of the upper leafs rolled up
and probably to less K and stuff

 

[blake881]

theres some gum. maybe i use next time a blunt with it. in two days its the best day for it





thats a cocktailjoint with jack on the first, pure kush on the bottom and a pinch of tangerine everywhere. and truely much gum. also tobbaco of course. the joint im waiting for since the grow started.




by the way
the jacky is stony, making even dizzy and smells pungent
the tangerine has a up-high. best kind of high for daily routines
the kush was not so good at all but thats my fault
