Week #3-June 7 to June 13
6/7-FIMmed the plant between nodes 4&5. Will monitor for adverse impact.
6/8-Starting some gentle LST separating branches a bit. No adverse affects from FIM so far. I'm making a conscious effort to not overwater this CDLC. I'd planned a watering this morning after skipping a day but there is still moist media so I will wait a bit until its 25% dry.
6/9-increased the nute load for week 3. Watered to 20% runoff. Runoff synced perfectly with inputs. The FIM area is healing quickly and showing no adverse effects. Move the plant to the big tent. I've got the lights set to mostly blue spectrum at 570 PPfd. So far so good.
6/10-Plant continues to grow nicely. Up to 4 inches high. The FIM area has recovered nicely and is started the regrowth. Looks like we might get 4 new colas in the end. Cut 2 lower leaves from bottom. On this grow I want to keep the bottom of the plant pruned from early on to see if it encourages lusher tops.
6/12-Did another full soak watering today. Runoff was 300 ppm higher than input so I did a slight 'mini-flush' with RO water only to bring the numbers in line. Will water again in 2-3 days. The area that I Fimmed is now showing multiple ( 5 to 6) new branches forming 5 days after. I continue to be impressed with how hearty and resilient all the Mephisto seeds are.
6/13-First 3 weeks were pretty easy. Plant is looking good and bushy although it is only 4.5 inches so far. I cut 4 big lower leaves to open things up a bit and encourage some upward growth.
@GrowCannabis, I wish I knew. I had high hopes for this one (no pun intended). She looked good through the whole cycle but was the lowest THC level I've ever gotten for Mephisto seeds. I just chalked it up to experience. I've been tempted to try this one again but have not done it yet.
