So I think this will be my last week in veg. That will be an almost 60 day veg period. With that said its been almost a week since my last post and a lot has changed in that time.

First up Tangerine Dream. Did a defoliation an some lollipopping today so I have a before and after pic. Its hard to tell the differemce since 90% of what I cut was underneath

This plant is to the point where even in a 10 gallon, I am watering every 3 days. Its insane how much this plant drinks.

Now to the Lemon Tree. Didnt do anything to this plant but its doing extremely well.

Heres the whole tent

The lemon tree had me worried the first month of growth and the only reason I vegged for 2 full months was to let the lemon tree bulk up more otherwise I probably would have flipped on day 40.

Im 3 days into flower on my plants, the tangerine dream has preflowers everwhere and the lemon tree just started showing so I switched to 12/12.

Havent been giving the girls the love they need though, pots were hydrophobic again. But at least this time its because I found a free fairly good freshwater spring near me an I got water after I noticed how light the pots were. Threw a heavy dose of sledgehammer in there to get some yucca in and break up the surface tension of the water, after the initial 1/4 gallon the water started sinking straight in and each got a total of 2 gallons. They are a bit droopy and some of the older foliage looks like its really holding on to nitrogen they are green as hell. Ive barely been feeding them too, to be safe I recalibrated my ph tester and gave them water at 6.25ph.

Tangerine dream lights on and off

Whole tent

Gonna prune them up real nice in a bout a week or so. Then maybe 1 more time towards the end of stretch I'll do a light defoliation directly over bud sites.

Didnt get any preflower pics. The ladies are stressed enough from poor watering, Im not gonna manhandle them and stress them out more right now.

During the last couple weeks I have been car shopping, really fed up with my current car. Decided on going with the 2023 Subaru WRX. Been a dream car of mine and now that its got the performance and the luxuries of a good daily driving sedan I thought it was time to pick one up. Its still being delivered to the dealer where I found it, so Ive been more focused on that lately. Suppose to come in tomorrow but the dealer said trucks have been running days behind since car prices started dropping so we'll see.

Decided to just do the pruning today. Chopped off a ton from the tangerine, and quite a bit from the lemon tree. Heres a pic of what I cut

Heres the tangerine

And the lemon tree

Only adding a second net if buds will need support later in flower.

The stretch has started on both plants, node distance has increased and plants are at least 2 to 3 inches taller than 2 days ago. 2 happy healthy girls.

Here is the tangerine by herself

And the Lemon Tree

Pistils everywhere on both plants but my camera isnt focusing well for some reason. Oh well.

Thanks for the reps @leaff. Much appreciation

Been a minute since my last update. Lots of headaches from this car buying process. Learning a lot I didnt know.

Anyway plants have grown a lot in the past week. Gave them a heavy watering as like this whole time Ive been neglecting them. 2 full gallons of ph6.35 of actual freshwater spring water. Plants really like it. Tops on the lemon tree look yellower than they are, but the tangerine dream is a little yellow all around. I did give it tiny bit of grow big, tiger bloom and big bloom. Not much at all but enough to give it a good bump.

Tangerine Dream.

Heres the 3x3 all together

Id say they are pushing 3 ft a little over 2 weeks into flower so we'll see how big they get. Im excited to see some buds.

Plants looking great, watered and fed yesterday. Still stretching. A bit busy today so the update will be short. They both looking beastly but I think I messed up defoliation on the tangerine (also I think I mixed these 2 up from the beginning, we'll see later in flower, but Im now pretty sure the bushy one is the lemon tree and the one in front is the tangerine dream.)

Yes I am aware that the one is very pale and yellow, Im not worried she will start to gain color back over the next few days.

 

[Cannaficionado]

Color has come back to the tangerine dream, or should lemon tree. Almost positive I got the 2 mixed up after sowing seeds so Im gonna have to get tags or something in the future.

Either way they are doing good, first coat of trichs on both tops, hard to see in the pics but they are there. Stinky as hell to boot, smells so good!

Here they are though, since Im unsure which is which Im just gonna start throwing all the new pics together.

So today I decided to feed and trim these girls up so light can get through the canopy and around the plants towards the bottom. Fed week 8 of fox farms flower schedule. Probably didnt need to as the color bounced back and the one plant is dark, but I think its just gonna be water from now to finish anyway.

Plants are looking good and trichs are really forming on the colas
