We made it through to 13 weeks, for both the indoor and the outdoor Mango Smile. Both plants definitely would have benefited from not being transplanted and I'm sure that contributed to their smaller size more than anything, I expected Mango Smiles to be an above average sized autoflower but these were both stunted, so I think it's my choices rather than any problem from Mephisto. The indoor managed to grow slightly bigger with two small side branches and went a few days longer to 88 days, the outdoor had one main cola and went 82 days.
This was a good learning lesson on how much stress I should or can put on an autoflower plant and to have my training and stress planned in advance. Aside from their small size they both still had many positive traits.
All of my experiences with Green Buzz Liquids have been positive, especially the More Roots. If I ended up changing nutrients one day I would still keep that product in the lineup regardless of any possible changes. There's always a noticeable difference in my clones, seedlings and very young plants.
Superthrive is great and easily available in the U.S.A. it's a good product to keep around for the whole garden and any indoor plants also, not just cannabis.
Overall I was happy with the Mango Smiles, because I know that the negatives were down to my ineptitudes rather than the seeds or plants. Its obvious now not to transplant most autos, that indoor plants need proper ph'ing done in most cases, and that outdoor usually turns out much more light and airy.
Throughout this grow I still hadn't recovered my sense of smell from Covid...and its still not great. However if I squeezed a bud towards the end it had a very distinct Mango smell and that says something incredible if a broken nose can detect that.
Obviously there's a lot of things I would do differently if I could go back, but I can just sprout some new Mangos and give it another go. As for Grow Diaries, they've made it so easy to track your grow. As long as you've have plants and can make observations, you can make well informed diaries here and get good data for others or yourself. This sites done a lot in the several years I've been here now, some of it great and some of it isn't my favorite....but expansion and growth aren't always 100% perfect but it is necessary to keep moving forward.
The only thing about this grow that pisses me off and really it's every grow, is how much weight you lose between cut and cured. From it's wet to dry weight i lost about half, maybe a little over, and then after I trim I lose a bit more.....Fortunately with Mephisto I rarely have to do much trimming so thats one thing I'll always love about them.
Anyone who likes Mephisto seeds or are looking for a good breeder of autoflowers I'd definitely recommend them. They're great to smoke, trim, and grow(most of the time). I think the Mango Smile would be a great pick for anyone who likes growing a heavier sativa strain and under good conditions it should be a fairly large auto with a slightly longer growth period.
As for my new experience with Mars Hydro, Wow! What an amazing feeling it was not to have to change the lighting every time I take pictures! To be free of that awful purple light is amazing! I'm absolutely loving the full spectrum led, and the new tent has given me an extra foot of height in my growing space which normally is very much needed. Both products seem strong, sturdy and good quality. I'm very happy they sought me out.
Good luck and happy growing to everyone. Enjoy a good smoke today and get out and grow something! Thanks for all the love and support. E.G
@@Trumptight420, it's mephistogenetics.com if you go on now it shows what will be for sale today at 10 am mountain time.
If you're Canadian or European/ other countries you might get a different homepage from the USA.
Haha... 🙋♂️ same age, strain, and pheno plants with slightly different environments can turn out so differently. I shared a photo with you, and by chance I come here and read that 👆. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Weed_be_thy_medicine, oh nice. I managed to score like 1 grape walker in one of the recent mephisto Mondays. Maybe I'll have to fire it up too. And I'm definitely not doing any transplant this time.
@Weed_be_thy_medicine, I've had good and bad luck with the transplants. I think the key is doing it early if so. Within the first 3 weeks and a smooth transplant is essential....no stress. Which is hard to accomplish.
Any chance that's just a small strain? Did you check with the seed guys? I thought I saw a "500g weight max" but that's usually wet weight anyway.
@spyder, thanks friend. I appreciate that. If you haven't grown any Mephisto lately you should! They're having "mephisto Mondays" every week in their store so seeds have been easier to get.
@420learning, I like mephisto, even if their plants end up small they're so coated in trichomes you almost don't have to trim them. Just a small, quick once over and they're good.
