Thank you to Sprout from
@Freedom of Seeds, for sponsoring this grow! I am super excited to be growing these strains which are perfect for my creativity!
(Please see the link to the
Freedom Of Seeds website in my signature).
I will be growing two sponsored strains and I have space for a third plant under two 150 W lights on my tabletop.

It is also known for its effective pain-relieving properties, making it a useful treatment option for individuals dealing with chronic pain conditions like arthritis or fibromyalgia. Furthermore, Cream Mandarin feminised has been reported to help with nausea and loss of appetite in patients undergoing cancer treatments such as chemotherapy. Its calming effects may also assist with sleep disorders and promote relaxation.”

Flavour “The Cream Mandarin strain boasts a citrusy aroma that brings mandarin oranges to mind. Its flavour is a sweet and tangy mix with creamy undertones, providing a smooth finish.

MEDIUM – I am growing in recycled and amended LOS (living organic soil)
LIGHT - 2 x Vipar Spectra XS 1500 Pro LEDs
This will be my second grow that I consider DLI, the daily light integral, i.e. the amount of usable light hitting the plants every 24 hours.
This table shows the optimal light required for good growth of an autoflowering plant. The higher intensity numbers require CO2. I am aiming for middle of the range.
