    Default Seedsman Indoor Contest: California Orange Feminised Organic

    Seedsman Indoor Contest:
    California Orange.




    Luckily for me, I have managed to get involved in the " Seedsman Forums Grow Contest 2018".
    Participants have been asked to choose three strains from the "Seedsman" catalogue, and grow them out, with a full, extensive diary on each strain.


    The strain I have chosen for this diary (of which I will germinate one seed) is California Orange:


    Seedsman link: https://www.seedsman.com/en/californ...eminised-seeds






    The diary will be updated at least twice a week, with pictures, information on feeding schedule, and growth progression. I look for these diaries to be a grow guide on each strain, and a step by step guide, to get you the same results as me, come harvest!


    All grows will be in the following setup:


    Germination
    8w heated propagator for germination ( Not turned on, its already warm enough)




    Early Veg
    60cmx60cmx120cm Grow Tent
    Omega Lighting 2 tube 48w T5.
    Small oscillating fan




    Veg/ Flower
    1.2mx1.2mx2m Tent.
    5' extraction and filter, exhuasted out side. ( Maybe upgrade to a 6' depending on the heat)
    4' intake, (passive/ active, depending on temperatures.)
    Dyson AM02 Tower fan and Hurricane Super 8, for air circulation
    1m Parabolic, silver reflector, with 400w MH for Veg, and 600w HPS for flowering.
    Dimmable Digital Ballast ( 250w, 400w, 600w, 660w)
    Evolution Digital Fan Speed Controler




    Medium:
    Plants will also be grown in "Tropic Bat Mix", in the following pots:


    For germination: 500ml plastic pot
    For early veg: 5l Fabric pots.
    Late veg and flower 25l Plastic pots.


    Food:
    For the seedlings and the root zone throughout the grow:
    Great white root enhancer and Rhizotonic


    Veg:
    Advanced nutrients:
    Iguana juice Organic Grow
    Ancient Earth Organic


    Flower:
    Iguana Juice Organic Bloom
    Ancient Earth Organic
    Big Bud Organic
    Bud Candy Organic


    I also have a "BlueLab Ph Pen", and a "Hanna Gro-Line EC/TDS Tester". Both just a couple of months old, and clean and calibrated. But I shouldn't be needing those much during this grow. Its just there in case I have issues. I also have a 16L Dehumidifier, and maybe looking at getting some aircon installed if the temps over summer get too much.


    Most of all they have a loving parent, they will flourish and grow. There will probably be more upgrades to the set up as we go, depending on the plants needs.
    The plan is to germinate, and then veg for around 3-4 weeks, under 24 hours of the T5, then 2 weeks under 400W MH on 18/6. Then I will put them into flower for 2 weeks under 12/12 of 600w MH, and change to the 600w HPS for the rest of flowering period, changing back to the MH for the final week of flower.


    During the veg, I will be topping the plant once at the 4th node, and manipulating the plant with some Low Stress Training (LST).

    Default California Orange, The Strain

    California Orange, The Strain:



    "California Orange is an old-school indica/sativa hybrid cannabis strain that dates back to the early 1980s if not before! A terrific resin producer, California Orange produces good to very good yields in just 9 weeks flowering indoors. Its dense buds have a really strong orange/citrus flavour and deliver a very potent, uplifting, happy high but one which may induce the old "cotton mouth" feeling so it is advisable to keep a drink handy. Heavier doses can lead to a more couch-lock indica-type stoned effect. Medically it can be used to help combat stress and depression."

    Characteristics

    BREEDER Seedsman
    GENETICS Californian Orange
    VARIETY Indica / Sativa
    THC CONTENT High
    YIELD 350-450 gr/m2
    FLOWERING TIME 9 weeks

    I left the seed to sit for a couple of hours in warm water, ph at 6.5. I personally don't like leaving it too long as you can drown the seed if it sinks, I like to just soften the seed a little. If you have really old seeds, over 3 years old, then it might be worth leaving them to soak for a while longer, but younger seeds don't need it so much unless they have difficulty popping after a few days.

    She has been placed onto her saucer, on a damp piece of kitchen roll, and then covered by another piece of kitchen roll. I then got a layer of cling film, and pushed it inside the cup to make a small dome, and placed it over the seed, in the centre of the saucer, and wrapped the rest of the cling film around it.

    She is now going to sit in the tent, for 24 hours. Lets hope we see some tap root by then, but realistically these things can take a couple of days. Patience is a virtue and all that.
