*Second* Grow Journal - Tangerine Dream (fem) AK47 (Fem) and Critical+ (Fem)

Sr. Verde said:

I don't think they're bad seeds. Just picky/difficult seeds.

I mean I'm doing the best I can... light FFOF, 250w MH, LOTS of air circulation, constant 72F / 35% RH. Filtered Water pH'd to 6.3..

All that and they are still stumbling ever so slightly. Tinged yellow, and growing a little odd. I feel like once they establish themselves it will be gravy though.

Ya thats what I am reading too. It sprouted today the other Tangerine Dream so we will see how it goes, and just in case I popped a Privada Reserva Headband too!!

My tangerine is working on the first fan leaf set right now

Good on the RP: Headband... I hear it's good stuff

The tangerine smells amazing

My tg's are doing well but I find they stretch a lot in flower.

Good choice on the aks from serious. I have some in flower also- powerful smoke- great medicine.
IMHO half the hybrids that breeders are pumping out the door today don't come close to the quality of ak.

Update 02.27.11

Well damn, someday I will have a grow journal that I grow what I put on the title, LOL. Last grow my Jillayne didn't pop so that didn't get grown this time I just killed my nute burned Tangerine Dream, I know I said I was gonna pop one of the four remaining seeds but instead I popped Headband and Pineapple Express.

So now this grow journal is Dina Fem Critical+, Serious Seeds AK-47, Reserva Privada Headband and G13 Labs Pineapple Express. One plant on each, might take some clones off one but we will see.

Critical+ has been in flower like 10days now and no signs of flower or sex, seems like this Indica plants take longer then Sativa plants I noticed. Anyways after my super lemon haze harvest I am so excited about running some new strains!!

Critical+ (10 days flower):



She is still a beast, leaves 1 1/2 times bigger then my hand and its about 2 feet around wow huge hope I can control it.

Ak-47 (2 weeks in veg):



PPM is 500-600ppm PH is at 5.8 for this one.

Headband (right) and Pineapple Express (left):



Both couple days from germinating in my new bucket cloner (just two Home Depot buckets) with a sprayer and pump. These are just in RO water PH to 5.9.

tony those look killer, that critical looks to be a beast. im flipping the switch tomorrow check out my update.

Hey Tony, i havent been by for while busy with my grow and journal thread sorry to hear about your TD.I received my order on the 22nd of Jan. out of 2 seeds i got one sprout and here she is 17 days in to flowering 12/12 light. Only issues I had with her is the germination I still have three seeds saved so hope I can get three more.I dont see the nute sensitivity at all with this one,she was getting full strength nutes right from the start at 1100PPM+well water, maintained PH 6.0 she has grown excellent and responded to LST quickly and very positively hardly any sign of stress she barely even slowed in growth. complete documentation of growth in signature link for anyone who would like to check it out.

damn dude she looks awesome. I still have a few beans left of the TD so maybe next grow.. there was too many other strains I wanted to try. I got some budda cheese that I wanted to grow but 4 this time is enough. I will follow your grow bro and good luck.

Had to post today.. Flowers are starting to POP on Critical+ FINALLY!! and the HeadBand and the Pineapple are getting BIG!!! So excited!!!

** Update 03.07 **

Critical Plus is doing awesome really big nice looking plant. I changed my flower formula to this mixture as I think the other one was a bit hot and seems to be doing good.

250 ml PureBlend Pro Bloom
100 ml Liquid Karma
70 ml CalMag+
100 ml Sweet

Mix it to 600-800ppm. PH is at 5.7-6.0.





Flowers are popping all over now should be taking off soon.

AK-47 is doing good bushy as hell but maybe thats a good thing. She has a new vegative mixture as well as it was too hot too I think.


175 ml PureBlend Pro Grow
70 ml Liquid Karma
60 ml CalMag+

Mixed to 500-600ppm. PH is 5.7-6.0.



The Pineapple Express is growing nicely as well in just plain PH water.



as well as the OG Headband:



Probably be moving the AK-47 into flower end of this week or beginning of next.

Thanks man.. seems like every time I start a grow I see another strain that I want to try. Just ordered Reserva Privada Kandy Kush, Next Generation Grapefruit Diesel, Dutch Passion Blueberry and Next Generation Grapefruit Kush for the Tudes Birthday bash. I think I am addicted to growing the stuff more then smoking it.

haha I know how u feel,growing gives u a different kind of pleasure than smoking.i couldnt order anything for the tudes birthday bash seeing as i ordered my seeds from the Tude a little before that.Im gonna be growing AK47,White Widow,and LSD gonna be intesne!!! haha,those strains u chose look and sound pretty tasty!!!Grapfruit Diesel OMG haha,cant wait to see how the rest of ur grow turns out too.hipefully ull start a new thread for those other tasty looking strains when the time comes!~!

Nice grow, your going to be really happy with the critical +, that strain is a really big yielder. So Im curious, why do you only grow one of each strain at a time?
