I have 2 tangerine dream ladies the one on the left looks to be a week or so behind the one on the right, will probably be chopping the one on the right in the next week or so, hows it looking to you all? Not the greatest pics, the one on the right though is just now starting to get a tiny bit of amber in the trics.

Mine went 14 weeks, still wasnt ready, cut it down just to get rid of it. Complete piece of shit.
Since then several friends have grown it and have had the same results. Flower forever, not only is the buzz very, very weak, it also is a very uncomfortable feeling buzz. Worst plants I have ever seen grown.
I would smoke Mexican brick over Tangerine Dream every single time.
Sorry to be the one to break the bad news to you.

Well mine were lovely! , I let mine go for 12 weeks & even though the Trichs weren't ambering & it was really skinny, I cut it, and wow!!! loveliest orangiest smoke ive ever had, 7 days hanging dry @ 50% RH, then jarred for another week, like smoking a Jaffa cake. Tangerine Dream.JPG

Its not a strain I would purchase beans for again, I still have 3 more beans but not a fan of barneys farm so far. The one on the right the trics are all cloudy and a few are starting to get amber (as of last night) just a few. I have a feeling they will be decent but were a bitch to grow. I have heard all the stories of it being horrible, I have been doing completely organic on this with organic super soil, only thing I have added is cal-mag to my RO water. The one on the right is extremely frosty probably some of the most crystals I have seen on a plant I have grown myself before, the one on the left is good too and still starting to get cloudy in the trics but not near as many crystals as the other. They are both horribly sticky.

I just grew mine in BioBizz medium mix with no feed whatsoever, was a bit of a noob at the time, new to LEDs too. But, I would definately grow this one again, even better if it came out as a Auto.

Yeah my next grow will be some Afghan Kush Ryder from world of seeds, I expect that will go alot smoother than these.

Yeah that's a 'nice to grow' strain, done four of those in 10L airpots, BioBizz soil and feed this time, under a 300W LED. They grew about 60cm but had really fat dense buds, sadly, I was on the learning curve of how to dry and cure properly so stuffed up most of the grow, got a bit tasting right tho & it was really strong tasting, hashish, amnesia taste. Was gutted tho, got approx. 2 Oz dry from each one, fooked the lot up. oh well. Ive learnt a hell of a lot from Forums like this, nowadays I try to pass on my 'given' knowledge to others so they don't suffer the same fate with their weed. Its all about the patience innit?

I will growing them in 5 gal eq. airpots, organic super soil, 600 watt MH for veg and 600 watt hortilux at about week 3 20hours on 4 hours off. ..... If I get 2 ounces off each of the tangerine I will be happy.

Attached are the shots of the main colas one is obviously more advanced that I might chop this weekend, will scope the trics today and see. The other obviously could go a little bit longer. 1cola.jpg2cola.jpg

I am thinking of running TD on my next grow. What type of lighting set up are you using? Things look pretty good to me overall, but I've still got a lot to learn. Nice plants, hope you enjoy your harvest.

I wouldn't recommend these to anyone complete bitch to grow, extremely picky and I am using the easiest method to grow organic super soil water and calmag only. I will have to wait for a smoke to see how they actually turn out. I am using a 600 watt ballast used a hortilux 600 watt MH bulb for veg and a hortilux eye hps for flower. Grew them both in 5 gal air pots. Vegged for 30 days.

I grew mine even easier mate, under a 270W LED, no feed, normal soil. plain water. didn't even PH it. Guess its luck of the draw unless the TD actually prefers LED to HPS. Your not the first to have bad results with it tho bro, have read quite a few bad reviews about barneys farms seeds, ive had good results from them tho.

What made them picky? I am going to grow the TD only because I had some years back that was so tasty that I haven't forgotten it. I hope yours turns out like the one I tried. Stick with it, I'm sure it will.

Edit: Also wanted to ask, are you plants from regular or feminized seeds?

Well I let the more advanced one go for one more weekend, waiting for a little bit of amber, and I got it. On exactly day 70 of flower she if going to pulled today for 24 hours of dark before chop. Hoping for greater than 2 ounces on this one, its looking closer to 3 if not quite 3. What do ya'll think?
