Barney's Farm - Tangerine Dream - Waterfarm!

You vegged her that long? Shit! Think my 25 day veg will be enough to fill the screen? I 25 day vegged my last 2 plants and they turned out ok but this is a completely different ball game.

Unfortunately you've just got to go by what the plant does. I just compared your 'day 16' pics to mine at day 15 - yours is close to 4-5 times the size at this point! There's many different factors to consider, including the strain you're growing - but I don't think you'll need to veg very long at that rate! I waited until I had the majority of the screen filled before going 12/12, but I also have around 6.5 feet of headroom to play with... Also, remember you can still 'weave the screen' after going 12/12 - and since you're using a cool-tube, you can get a little closer to the light than I could. =)

Using CO2 would do wonders for filling those bud in!

Yeah, I wish CO2 were an option for me - maybe in the future, but not at this point for me. They're filling in not too bad for the most part - there's a lot of spindly buds in the lower-outside edges due to lack of light down there - but that's part'n'parcel with my grow tent setup - lesson learned! I want to hit some more strains in the future that have similar sativa percentages though, so I'll have to keep that in mind.

Are you immediately going to start another grow once this one is done? If so grow some strawberry diesel. If mine is anywhere near as successful as yours and scottyballs, I'm gonna grow nirvana ice,... maybe..

The plan is to start the next round in mid-Sept once we're back from holidays. I've changed my mind half a dozen times at this point as to which strains to do next - but I think I'm sticking with the Vanilla Kush and Ace of Spades (TGA's new strain) in order to see what the VK can do in this hydro setup (our fav weed strain so far) and to try and get a nice indica (Ace of Spades) to offset all the sativa buds we'll have for the next 'year' or so..lol

I've got a 'Creme Caramel' seed that's been calling my name as well... but I doubt i'll change my mind again at this point..lol

Not 100% sure what you guys are talking about


but that tangerine dream STRETCHES 4-5x in flower.... this is no joke, even with training this bitch is going to stretch like NUTS..... I flowered at a foot and it wanted to be 5 feet tall, I had to cut it in half like 15 days into flower just to save my crop....

I would be flowering that TD at 5-6 inches if you want it to be like 2.25 feet tall.

I'm not kidding I've watched other growers running this with all different setups and the stretch was the same every time no matter how much you trained it out... Probably the #1 thing I hated about growing my TD... but god DAMN is the smoke some great stuff


FOUR TO FIVE TIMES STRETCH sativa bitches makes me want to grow a 50 day indica

Yeah, I think mine had to be around 4x stretch - but mr2 is growing Strawberry Diesel...I believe that's what he's comparing to.. =)

I'm growing strawberry diesel. I was wondering about how much mine will stretch. Since Dayzt vegg'd his for 60 days, but he has 6.5ft of headroom whereas I only have just over 2ft, so a 25 day veg for me will be plenty I'm guessing.

Welcome to my world ?

Pic update! I took some time and cropped some of my high def pics so you can really get an idea of what these buds look like up close... Things are looking good, and sometimes I wonder why I'm leaving things another 2 weeks...lol...but then I look at Sr.Verde's TD and I know it's the right thing to do!

These buds are def not super-dense like the heavier indica strains - but wow they're looking juicy!! Enjoy!!!

....and a vid update!!!

Lol...yeah mr2 and I kinda crossed conversations there between our journals - sorry for the confustion! =)

By this weekend, it will be the 2-week mark until harvest. I was looking at the calendar last night and discovered that day was exactly '11 weeks' flower (77 days), and week 20 from seed. I believe Derry mentioned the flowering period to be 70-74 days in the interview he did with UrbanGrower at the CC last year...so it's actually fairly close, but it will be well worth letting her go 13.5 weeks! =)

Went through all the pages. Amazing work. Looking forward to see who it'll end. Also getting me a similar setup come September . Excellent, lost for words!!!

At the end I think it's be great if you could summarize your experience in a couple of posts, lineary describing the whole process. Once again congrats mate!

Thanks for the rep man! Great idea about the summary post - I'll have to see what I can put together after harvest and cure. Awesome to hear you're going to try out a waterfarm - it's so easy and so worth it..

I feel your pain everyone, I have like 30 subscriptions, and for the last several days I've been hesitating to check in on the 16 new posts...
It just keeps stacking, so I'm just checking interesting threads HAHA.

Anyways I can't wait to see your TD after the next two weeks, it's going to swell so much!
And we secretly know it's going to blow your mind on the first bowl of 2 week cure.

This is probably one of my favorite journals. This and socttyballs, packed with good info and tons of bud porn. I can't wait to see this TD finished and how much you yield from it. More importantly the smoke report.. I think it's time for an update.

How many days are left estimated again?
