4/17 dropped seeds in distilled water for 12 hours
4/18 transferred to paper towel in plastic container on heat mat in darkness
4/19 tap root sprouts, transfer to rapid rooter in dome on heat mat with light 2 feet away, veg/blue light @ ~40% (~13,700 lux) slowly raising every several days
4/21 seeds sprouts
Temp: ~70-76
Humidity: ~80-90%
- Hydroponic setup using Active Aqua 5 gal bucket with 2 added air pumps for root health
- On 4/30, seedling is transferred to bucket of hydroton
- Filled bucket with 4-4.5 gallons of tap water with a pH of 5.8 only receiving hydroguard
- First round of veg nutes; keeping it light & mild ~
- Bucket is filled with 4.5 gal of water to reach roots; will lower amount of water as the plant and roots get bigger
- 2nd round of veg nutes; double the amount from last week & slightly upping cal mag
- Keeping humidity at ~55-65% and temp between 70-80 when lights are on and 60-70 at night (lights off)
- 3rd round of veg nutes; doubling last weeks and upping cal mag from 2.5 to 3
- Bucket has 3.75 gal of water in it
- First defoliation. Learned I should have cut more bottom leaves since I ended up doing that down the line anyway
- Trying to keep humidity between 55-65%
- Pistils have begun to form
- Introducing bloom nutes on 6/9, not a lot at once; ~390 ppm
- Bucket filled with 3.5 gal of water
- Humidity ranging from 55-65%
- More defoliation; I know it doesn't look pretty but I promise she perks up
- Stopping veg nutes
- 6/23 plant receives nutes; plant started drinking more so had to change bucket 4 days after - now is when I started splitting nutes in half and giving every 3-4 days
- Bucket has 3 gal of water
- 6/27 bucket change with just cal mag & hydroguard (~207 ppm)
- Been having trouble with temp & humidity (always do this time of year) so temp is between
- 3.5 gals in bucket
- Splitting nutes in half (0.95 micro, 2.5 bloom, 1.5 calmag, 1 hydro) and feeding every 3-4 days so it gets full nutes over a 7-8 day period
- 356 ppm for half nutes
- started noticing browning on leaves
- Raised cal mag from 3 to 5 because I thought plant was lacking cal mag
- Upped nutes but it may have led to nute burn in the next few weeks (see pics)
- ~350-400 ppm for half nutes
- buds starting to form nicely
- Upped bloom nutes from 5 to 7.5
- Upped cal mag from 3 to 5
- Bucket has 3.5 gal
- Turned blue light down to 10% and red light up to 50-60%
- ~480 ppm for half nutes
- Still keeping humidity between 55-65% and temp between 76-86 since I can't get it any lower
- I think upping the nutes and lights burned the leaves since leaves are still having brown spots
- Lowering nutes for ripening
- Bucket has 3.5 gal
- Lowered micro nutes from 2 to 0.9, bloom nutes from 7.5 to 2.5, and cal mag from 5 to 2.5. hydro stays the same
- Still cutting nutes in half and feeding twice a week, every 3-4 days
- Possible light burn?
Looking good.. I'm surprised at how long it went in veg
I'm not familiar with this strain but she looks beautiful. Good luck!
I'm growing my first crop, 4 mephisto plants and one fast buds. All are coming along nicely. Just started week 5 most have started to flower. Only one "indica dominant" plant hasn't. It has sexed but its still in veg. Hopefully I get a good harvest fingers crossed.
