4/5-started Bloom nutrients schedule listed above. Ph=6.0, EC=.97, PPM=700. Did some trimming to keep things from getting too thick. Plant is starting to shape up nicely and is now 17" tall but fairly wide as well with the LST.
4/8-Keeps doing its thing. Cut the Bud Ignitor back a bit and added a bit more Cal Mag on last mix. Got 4 Mephistos going and this one is the best of the bunch so far.
4/10-Did some lollipopping/pruning on the bottom of the plant. Thinned things out quite a bit. I'm hoping that this well lead to fatter buds on the main stalks. I've been monitoring the runoff and it is staying consistently close to the numbers I got when I feed the nutes. I think that is a good thing. I actually broke a main stalk trying to do some LST. Fortunately it was not a full break and I duct taped the stem back together and it seems to be causing no harm. I'll keep monitoring. It looks like she is starting to really get ready to flower and I'm hoping to see some signs here in the next week.
4/12-At the end of Week 6 the Mango Smile is definitely the star of my first Mephisto grow. She's up to 26" high now and is towering over the other 2 plants in the tent. It's starting to be a problem as I've had to raise the lights quite a bit to keep them above her. Right now the plant is getting 850-900 PPFD on the top branches while the other plants in the tent are getting 500. She's also starting to form some buds albeit it small at this point. I expect to see that increase alot more in the next week. On the nutes front I'm going a bit more basic this week to let the other plants in the tent catch up.
Did you defoliate and what week ? I’m in week six and have doing it practically every day and the next day you hardly know it ! I got 3 in a 2x2 ‘ tent !
