Setup Checklist for Growing Sour Tangie Seeds

🏕️ Indoor Setup

• Grow Tent: 3×3 ft minimum
• Lighting: Full-spectrum LED (400–600W)
• Airflow: Inline fan + carbon filter
• Medium: Coco or soil + perlite
• Pots: 3–5 gal fabric
• Water pH: 6.2–6.6
• Nutrients: Balanced veg/bloom formula + Cal-Mag

🌞 Outdoor Setup

• Climate: Warm, dry, and sunny
• Soil: Rich and well-draining
• Support: Stakes or trellis for long branches
• Harvest: Early to mid-October

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.
