tangerine dream. seed 2.24.topped 4.12, soil 4.20.clnd.pics -results.cntd

[surrealife]

hi,
here are my tangerine dreams. topped, wanted to share results, early, through:
seeds, barney seed co.
7gal happyfrog, going to 10-12gal for branch length
planted 2.24 i sprouted them in paper towel in bag
they started under 1000wt, outside 5.20 @ 3'. solid week of rain

i topped them 4.12, those in soil 4.20, those topped 5.20
side by side: topped, and not. topped will be better....now you can watch

so, here was what i was going for, for better or worse.

stay tuned, got nothing in bud, pulling one early, these are novembers centerfolds
thanks

I still have a pheno of her. She is a beast, and I love her... but where I'm at everyone wants OGs. Mine fnishes in 10 weeks with buds the size of 2 liter bottles and covered in trichs.

 

[surrealife]

will you share some knowledge? .. i'm down with OPG

happy charlie's organic custome home grown shEAt blend!
HEAVY! about 140lbs each. i will need my chainsaw to harvest:)

thanks

 

[noobynubert]

whats in ur soil mix? or how old is that manure? looks fresh

 

[surrealife]

hi. well decomposed compost, at least a year. is what the farmer does...., 4 miles away.
no smell, no flies......has worms
no burn
prior, was happy frog, manure boost. so, i will be mixing in the HF, @ $17, 2cbft.
this, lol. this is the best possible medium, you did see the worm? @ $20 a skidder bucket:)
about 100gal
i am going back for 3rds

thanks

 

[surrealife]

i would lend you guys my truck to get some.

6.13.13
i have the main structure nice evenly weight distributed.
got enough going, not wanting too many clones right now
so,
i cut just the newest growth from all the tops, where it would flower
some pinch, i like snipping them, it just stunt production at that spot
instead of a whole new stem, it will just double the new growth,
hard to see but,

thanks

Here you go:

I gave her too much nutes so the leaves were shattered, but it did not affect the buds. Extremely different profile between coco grown and rockwool grown. I like the rockwool pure hydro salts A LOT more regarding smell/taste. Very large trichs, smells like chocolate orange spicey haze. Super bomb high IMHO. Puts you in a giggly state. The pheno I kept was an early finisher at 10 weeks, but you can pull here at 65 days and still be ok. Awesome to trim. You can trim a lb by yourself in 4 hours.

 

[Capulator]

posting those pics makes me want to run her again.

 

[surrealife]

hello, whats up capulator

sorry, gotta clean myself....those are beautifull.
rockwool huh. sounds good. nice and light
these in 27gal pure compost should be good

got some used horse bedding? friend uses it, gear looks good
awesome root growth
is hydro a big PIA? pricey?

compared to throwing some plants outside, yes hydro is a PITA.

 

[surrealife]

whats good?
well, i spend alot of time with them anyways. not liking the idea of taking
those barrels inside. am growing some of the clones outside, finish them inside, take them in in august,
finish....january..almost ready for next season,?
so, with rockwool, you must have a pretty quick cycle?
can you get good yield from say, 5 months veg
so, your grow in the pics, how long in veg,
you said about 10wks flower?
those three big ones, i'll have to watch frost...3-4 nights is ok @27f.... but the dew, the dew will rot em'
i have another td, same birth day, way smaller, untopped . just put
into flower about 3 days ago. want it on my bday, aug 26
75 days, 5 to dry. they can't stop me!

but yea, after seeing tose pics, i'd want to grow her again. thanks for the info about the
high. sounds perfect.

5 months veg indoors? No way man try 3-4 weeks. 5 harvests a year.

 

[surrealife]

that is awesome.
i was hoping you wouldn't say something like that...damn

and the yield?

 

[surrealife]

hello people, update:
the three seed girls are about recoverd from my snips,

centerfold shots, they are just under 5', but i'm done trimming/training.
there going for broke now

close up

definetly a reacher, still
and the clones:), i had to put two in the 27

so, last year, my first, had three big girls, the 8' got me 6lbs wet, she was in the ground, in the field.
insects..etc

so, 27gal, in greenhouse,
should have a bit
happydays are here again

take care, happy fourth

 

[growinman]

Those sure are some healthy looking girls!! And that soil.....looks something special, for sure:D
Being in the upper NE as you are, about how late in the season do you get to run? I am sure the greenhouse helps extend things and may even leave the option to heat.... but do you do any light deprivation? I am in the PNW and I know there are quite a few growers that 'shorten' the days starting pretty early; one that I know of that they even get in two harvests, out on the coast..... I was pretty unfamiliar with any of this being done until last year. So just kind of curious if you mess with any of that.

Beautiful plants!!
peace
