Decent growing this week. Definitely time for transplanting though. I always have a hard time knowing when to transplant an autoflower...or to do it at all. What does everyone else do? Transplant or no transplant?
The plants didn't seem to be showing any signs of flowering yet at the beginning of the week, so hopefully all will be well. As far as I know the Mango Smiles have a slightly longer lifespan.
I decided to let one grow and finish outdoors. It got a transplant mix of ocean forest and seedling mix for soil. I hope the seedling mix will help it transition quicker and then grow into the more nutrient rich fox farm below.
The indoor plant will stay and get the new full spectrum led lighting from the SP6500 from Mars Hydro. I'm very excited to see how the plants handle the F.S versus the blurple lights I've used for so long. It also got a transplant this week, and didn't handle it as well as the outdoor...I'm not sure why. 3 gallon smart pot, and ocean forest soil. The photo was awful and I'm sorry for that. Hopefully she'll turn around in the next day or so. That plant started showing the first signs of pistils, so maybe that was part of the problem...flowering is attempting to start.
Exciting things are always happening. I'm just gonna have to keep growing and adapt along the way.
Happy growing everyone. βοΈ
@@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... πββοΈ 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 π. π€£π€£π€£π€£
@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.
@Experimentgreen,ah thanks for the master advice ππ». Iβm gonna do a mango smile and grape Walker kush from M as well hence learning from you :)
@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.
