How to Squeeze the Most Out of Your Grow

Maximize yield, flavor, and resin production with these pro tips:

• Start in a final 18–27 L pot to avoid transplant stress
• Use 18–20 hours of light daily—no switching needed
• Keep humidity at 40–50% during flowering to prevent mold
• Add a flowering booster like Bloom Stimulator B'Cuzz in week 3 for denser buds
• Train gently with LST—avoid topping or FIM on autos
• Pair with BioTabs Tablets for steady organic nutrition
• Harvest when trichomes turn milky to amber for optimal effect

How It Fits Into Your Growing Setup

Tangerine Dream Auto plays well with others. Start strong with a root booster like Bio Rhizotonic to lock in early vigor. Use it in soil, coco, or mix—just ensure good drainage.

When grown alongside other Barneys Farm classics, it holds its own with flavor, yield, and presence.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I grew Tangerine Dream Auto in my 1.20 x 1.20 m (3.94 x 3.94 ft) tent with a 300W LED. Planted directly in a 25L pot with living soil. Germinated in 48 hours, pre-flowers at day 10. By week 4, it was a bushy monster with dense colas forming. I used Alg-A-Mic BioBizz as a foliar spray in early flower—smelled like a citrus orchard. No pests, no stretch drama. Harvested at day 73 with milky-amber trichomes. Dried slow over 10 days. The flavor? Insane. Like vaping tangerine candy. The high is smooth, creative, and lasts 2–3 hours. I keep it in my rotation for quick turnarounds and flavor chases. If you want a no-stress auto that delivers on taste and effect, this is it.
