no_average First time running Mephisto Genetics, chose Sour Stomper and Double Grape for their shared lineage so hopefully their stature and time to harvest are similar. This'll be my second grow indoors and I've gone with an Earthbox filled with Build-A-Soil 3.0 for a water only grow. Seeds were germinated in a rapid rooter, then placed on a heat mat with a humidity dome on top. Should've been put in the earthbox sooner but I took too long to setup the soil. Will be using an HLG QB648 Diablo + Meanwell XLG-150-H-AB for the full grow cycle on 20/4. May add another QB288 during flowering depending on how even coverage is.

no_average Transplant probably slowed down their growth a bit, and they also appear shorter since I've added more soil and earthworm castings. Otherwise they seem to have adjusted well enough and are under 200 - 300 uMole on a 20/4 schedule (electricity rates are higher in the evening here). Top watered around the plants and left the Earthbox reservoir dry while the roots extend downwards.

no_average Plants look much more acclimated to the Earthbox now, seeing some good growth from both. Threw in worm castings, gro-kashi, and some cover crops to put a bit more life into the top layer of coco. Also added 2 gallons into the reservoir with no top watering.

no_average Sour Stomper looked a bit overwatered compared to the Double Grape, turns out my Earthbox wasn't leveled and the water in the res pooled one way. Pretty it's my carpet that's messed up, I just shimmed under the feet to fix it. Opened up the mulch cover to dry out a bit and I'll replace it after chopping the cover crops. Haven't grown either before but I've read that Sour Stomper stretches quite a bit so I'll likely top it, but I've started with just LST for both. Basically giving the plants a look once a day and tucking fans leaves that block lower branches. Otherwise work has been very minimal, still going through the 2 gallons added last week. Also threw in a handful of worms from my worm bin to help break things up.
