Germination: Starting Your Sour Tangie Grow

Use the paper towel method for reliable germination.

  • Moisten paper towels (not soaked) and place seeds inside
  • Cover with plates to keep humidity stable
  • Maintain 70–75°F temperature
  • Once the taproot is ½ inch long, plant root-tip down about ½ inch deep

⚠️ Avoid airtight containers. Airflow prevents mold and seed rot.

Week 1: Seedling Stage

Your Sour Tangie seedlings will begin their journey toward vigorous sativa growth.

  • Light Distance: 24–30″ from LED
  • Humidity: 65–70%
  • Temp: 72–77°F
  • Water gently every few days
  • Provide mild air circulation

By the end of the week, your seedlings should show strong, upright stems and early leaf development.

Week 2: Early Veg & Training

Growth accelerates quickly during this stage.

  • Begin low-stress training (LST) to manage height
  • Feed light nutrients at ¼-strength
  • Humidity: 60–65%
  • Temp: 73–78°F
  • Keep soil lightly moist but never soggy

Training early helps control the tall sativa stretch and encourages lateral branching.

Week 3: Vigorous Veg Expansion

By now, Sour Tangie’s sativa traits shine: fast vertical growth and long, thin leaves.

  • Height: 10–14 inches
  • Humidity: 55–60%
  • Temp: 73–78°F
  • Feed with ½-strength veg nutrients
  • Consider topping to promote multiple colas

Expect a strong citrus-diesel scent even before flowering.

Week 4: Pre-Flower Transition

Your plant is now preparing for bloom.

  • Remove small lower leaves for better airflow
  • Drop humidity to 50–55%
  • Keep temp: 72–78°F
  • Stop major training — just adjust canopy ties
  • Switch to a bloom nutrient mix

Tiny pistils may appear at the nodes, signaling the start of flowering.

Week 5–6: Flower Initiation

This is when Sour Tangie stretches and sets the framework for buds.

  • Light Cycle: 12/12
  • Height: 30–40 inches
  • Humidity: 45–50%
  • Temp: 70–77°F
  • Begin full bloom nutrients (low nitrogen, high P & K)

A sweet-sour citrus aroma starts to dominate the grow space.

Week 7–8: Bud Development

The flowers begin swelling, and resin production becomes visible.

  • RH: 40–45%
  • Temp: 68–75°F
  • Maintain airflow to prevent mold
  • Continue bloom feeding
  • Optionally, use a PK booster for density

Buds become sticky and frosted, with sour citrus and woody diesel terpenes taking over.

Week 9–10: Ripening & Flush

Final stage — resin glands mature, aroma peaks, and pistils darken.

  • Flush with clean, pH-balanced water
  • Temp: 65–70°F
  • RH: 35–40%
  • Trichomes: mostly cloudy with ~10% amber
  • Harvest when pistils are 70–80% darkened

This ensures smooth, flavorful smoke and bright effects.

Harvest & Curing

  • Dry: Hang for 10–14 days at 60°F, 55% RH
  • Cure: Transfer to glass jars, burping daily for 7–10 days
  • Let cure for 3–4 weeks to deepen aroma and flavor

The result: long, resinous buds with a citrus-fuel punch and clear, focused high.

Gary Payton

Michael ClintMarch 27, 2024

I’ve been growing weed for 30+ years, and to be honest, it’s quite difficult to surprise me. After a few decades of facing different strains, changing growing conditions, and solving whatever problem you could possibly think of, by then, I believe I’ve seen it all in cannabis growing.

Gary Payton defied every single one of my expectations.
The plant thrived, growing to an impressive 6 feet in what seemed like a blink of an eye. It quickly filled out with buds and displayed better smell each day, showing solid proof of superior genetics. The buds were tight, aromatic, and a source of immense pride, surpassing the outcome of many of my previous endeavors.

Hypno Seeds with their Gary Payton strain has won my complete admiration and loyalty. Outstanding genetics in this plant have truly turned what I always thought of to be an experiment with negligible expectations into one of the most satisfying grows of my long career.

Looking forward, my excitement for the next growing season is unparalleled. I can’t wait to see how much I can take these strains, especially with the attention that Gary Payton really does deserve right from the start.

Blackberry Kush

WhildGreeneryMarch 28, 2024

Starting my latest grow, I decided to try out some Blackberry Kush from Hypno… I planted her on a whim alongside my other favorites. Hypno Seeds said it had to be a powerful plant with rich, fruity scents… Seeing is believing. She developed purplish hues and dense resin coated buds and quickly took center stage in my garden and produced much more than expected. The buds are tightly packed, literally bursting with the heady aroma. The yield? Very impressive for her conditions…
