Day 57
Watered 2 liters dechlorinated water with a few drops of lemon juice to bring the ph down a tad. Going off muscle memory so I hope it works out. This watering had 1 Tbsp of molasses added to it to feed what microbes might be in the soil. Might not do anything but it didn't hurt.
Day 58
Light defoliation, mostly outer and lower shade leaves that were pressing up against the walls, not getting any light, or covering up and main bud sites.
The container was light again, even after just being watered yesterday. Gave her around 1 liter of the usual.
No signs of lock out yet.
Day 59
Pot was light this morning. Watered about another liter today.
Bud are starting to fill in, the tops are starting to thicken up everyday. Even my wife said she noticed a difference in size in just one night.
The smell isn't too strong. But we are in a very small apartment and the plant is basically behind a curtain, so we might just be nose blind to it at this point.
But as soon as the light go off, the smells just wave off of her.
I wouldn't say it's overwhelming or unpleasant. Just a real nice, fresh bud smell.
On stem rubs I've got hints of sweat, gas, and fruit.
And when I rub up the shade leaves from defoliation I get something I can only discribe as wasabi.
Day 61
Pot is light again this morning. My gut is telling me she wants another shot of Tiger Bloom. She showed signs of light nite burn, just a bit of yellowing on the tips of some leaves. but it hasn't progressed past that all week so I think she's good. This also could have been a result of having my light set to 13". The manufacturer says it can go as low as 12" during flower, but Ive raised it to 18" just to be safe.
I just mixed up the feed. 2.5ml of Tiger Bloom in 2 liters of dechlorinated water. She hasn't been fed all week so hopefully this goes well. I'll keep a sharp eye on her and flush or leech the soil and start fresh. At this point I really see where I could use a PPM meter. Might have to get one when I get a new pH pen.
Day 62
Big changes! Cleaned out a closet in the apartment today and moved the grow in there. The space is just shy of a 2x4 with lots of hight where we have 9 foot ceilings.
I was really worried about the fluctuations in environment but the lights on temps are sitting at 29°c and the rH is 50%.
Then after the big move around I went out, came home and my wife found my pH pen! It definitely needs to be calibrated but I have it!
As for the plant. The buds are thickening up nicely and starting to get frosty, swirling up the main stem starting to connect into the other buds. Soon enough I may be looking at actual colas! So far I am amazed with the genetics Mephisto is fucking dope.
She took a full dose feed and just the tips of her leaves burnt. No advancements in signs of toxicity. It will be straight water tomorrow.
Day 63
Last day of week 9. The plant seems really happy in her new home. Temps are a little higher then they were but are still comfortable for the plant sitting between 27°C-29°C . Humidity took a bit of a dip this morning hovering in the high 40s. But she needed a drink and that always increases the humidity further into the comfort zone.
Watered today. 2 liters of dechlorinated water. Guestimated the pH balance again from muscle memory. No signs of lock out.
I did notice a bit of discoloration in a few leaves. Mostly centeralized in one area. It's not very advanced, very suttle, but I'm going to takes it as a sign to hold off on the food. I think she's got what she needs.
Looking good! I love growing autos and I plan to run some meph soon. I just started two autos recently myself. Very excited!
I'll definitely follow your grow
@DoctorAutoflower, I know. I learned my lesson, or some patience. Not really sure which one.
But I've been learning and trying to do better so will start posting again soon.
