Mephisto: Sour St.xForum St. (Octopot)

Week 8 was pretty steady, and the nutrient levels and leaves stabilized. I made the decision at the end of the week to let things ride, and I'm glad I did. There won't be the biggest yield, but the plant is a frost factory. I've never tried Sour Stomper, but she's such a favorite that I don't want to miss out! (If it's as good as people say, I may include it--not this cross--in the next run, alongside Canna Cheese 1:1 and two Dark Owls (Bruce Banner #3 and Marathon OG)). 👉🏽Day 59 (1/26): Top-off day. Removed a few more 50/50 leaves, and I'm enjoying this stage of the grow. There are some things that have seemed to help/stabilize the plant, like removing the watering hole cover and only refilling to the third buoy line (waiting until it drops to almost the first line before top-off). The phosphorous deficiency, I think, happened at the same time that the reservoir water was oxygen-starved. If I use an Octopot again--probably will, with a strain I know well--I'll be less aggressive with top-offs and CalMag, for sure! Trichomes at about 10-15% cloudy, so a week or two more. . . . 👉🏽Day 61 (1/28): Another top-off near the beginning of the light cycle (11 p.m.), and the plant is thirsty! The buds are still swelling, so the trichomes are, on average, still about 10-15% cloudy. Really proud of this plant; so far, there are no signs of any seeds developing despite the stress, and the remaining leaves are providing enough energy for bud growth. Next reservoir fill: Sensi Bloom A&B (2 ml/gal), CalMag (.95 ml/gal), Carboload (3.8 ml/gal), Overdrive (2 ml/gal), Mammoth P, and Orca. Thanks for dropping by! 🖖🏽🌿
