Sorry a couple days late with this Update, I haven't been well.
Anyways not much to report on the Mephisto Northern Cheese Haze.
To me I am seeing Mega Runt, meaning it will be Fast, tiny and not produce. 😟
I will let it keep going because It wont use any nutes or occupy much space.
I really hope I am wrong but I have seen it enough times with batches of autos.
Time will tell but I think the writing is on the wall.
The Cali-Connection DeadHead OG is doing great and I learned that the clones wont need much.
They all showed Roots after 8 days from cut.
No complaints there.
They will be going into their pots this following weekend.
Not much else to report, just light plain 6.8phd watering every 3 days.
On a side note, I don't think the problem with Autos is the Breeders.
I get the feeling it is just the nature of Autos....
There is 2 ways to look at this in the long run IMO.
1 - If you order a 3 pack and only 1 of the beans produce then that one plant paid for the pack.
-OR-
2 - If you order a 3 pack and only 1 of the beans produce then you didn't get what you paid for!
If that percentage sticks through 5 or 10 packs then I would say Autos are not worth it.
It makes no sense to grow something that only has a 33% chance of return.
And that's with Feminized Genetics....
This is NOT a statement against anyone or any Geneticists,
I am purely talking about the randomness and un-reliablity of Auto Flowers in MY experience so far.
The best Autos I have had so far did NOT Auto!
They had to be flipped.
Look at the pictures in my other Diary ATM and you can see 2 - ZkittleZ Autos from the same batch.
Cracked at the same time but have come out completely different.
And you could tell the difference as soon as they emerged from their root cubes.
ANY Breeder out there that wants to prove me wrong,
I will Gladly do a Diary on their Genetics if they send me something. 😏😁
Anyways it's all about learning.
I have some more experiments coming up with Autos as well.
IMO I think people are doing more than needed but.. we will get to that hehe.
Have Fun and keep growing.
