Mephisto Mangos and Mars

A great week. The end is definitely near close for both the indoor and outdoor. While their plant structure and leaf appearance is completely different...they are at least fairly close in color of trichomes and development of pistils. The outdoor might be slightly ahead, but thats not necessarily a good thing. With the indoor Mango Smile being a tad behind its gotten the opportunity to get twice as dense and a slightly bigger shape. Mephisto has their time-line down at around 75 to 90 days to mature. Its great that both plants have made it past day 70 and are still good to keep going a bit longer. I'm planning on cutting the outdoor plant earlier than the indoor as the one still has some white pistils on the lower buds and I think that one will take just a little longer to fully mature. Its been fascinating seeing the difference between an indoor and outdoor version of same strain autos. I wish I could've kept the inside plant a little healthier with its leaves to get a truly accurate view on them, and definitely cut out and any transplanting on the next comparison. I'll continue giving them just plain water into the next week and see where they are on harvest time. Its been amazing being able to get decent photos out of my tent with a full spectrum led that puts off a "white colored light" versus the "blurple" lighting i had gotten so used to. I don't think I'll ever go back to those red/purple lights again unless I absolutely have to! I'm still running the SP6500 from Mars Hydro at the 40%-50% range and typically have left it down at 40% without seeing any stretching or other negative effects. Overall I'm pretty thrilled with this new light. Happy growing everyone, I hope all your harvests have been incredible this season so far. ✌️
