Cptpwnzor's Mega Mephisto Mash-up

cptpwnzor All of the seedlings sprouted after a 18 hour soak in water and after 3 days germinated directly into soil. Soaked on 4/29 and all emerged on 5/2 (what I'm calling Day 1) and straightened out quickly on 5/3! All within a 4x4 grow tent under a 1000w HPS for the whole grow, in varying sizes of fabric pots (3/5 gallons). Using FFOF or Nectar for the Gods Soil - will be using NFTG as my nutrients once these babies are ready.

cptpwnzor Beginning of Week 2 and the seedlings have been taking off and loving the 1000 HPS - been trying to move it a bit closer and the majority of the seedlings are praying up to the sun taking it in. Been struggling with dry soil so have been watering the smaller pots every other day or so (one-two inch down dry.) Sour Livers is definitely the MVP here with some major latitude side branching and growth, while my 3 Bears OG seems to be struggling with bumpy leaves and some splotchy yellow at the end.

cptpwnzor Week 3 and the plants have exploded! Fantastic side branching and overall great growth looking healthy and green. The 3 Bears OG, on the other hand, has seemed to struggle out the gate and doesn't look like it will be healthy. I will continue to grow it but remove from all future updates unless it makes a miraculous recovery. What do you guys think, kill it now or let it grow?

cptpwnzor Plants are exploding with pre-flowering as we go into week 4 - started to up my nutes to half strength according to the directions in the Oregon's Only sample kit. Plants are really starting to show their unique characteristics (bushy, tall, short, branchy, etc.) Now that the days are getting warmer I have an ideal temp of 77 lights on and 64 lights off. Humidity is stable around 55-65.

cptpwnzor Week 5, Day 27 and flowering has been in full swing for about a week now - starting to see a bit of droop as these plants get bigger and bigger each day - will do flower nutes next watering within the next week or so otherwise I'll get to watering on Day 28 or so with plain pH'd water.

cptpwnzor Hi all - been awhile since I had an update but things are definitely moving around, but maybe not as ideally as I had wished! I don't think I did a great job watering or supplementing as over the last couple weeks I've had massive yellowing of leaves (even some crisping) with purple leaf stems. Not sure if the 1000w in the 4v4 (even with a 700 CFM fan) is too intense of a light in the space, even though the temperature fluctuates between 60-75 each day. That said, I did massive clipping of the yellowed leaves and some LST to let the ladies breathe a bit and hopefully make a good recovery. The good news i that the new growth and flowers seem to be doing just fine, so hopefully it was just a small bump here at Day 40.

cptpwnzor HELP! Just trimmed off dead and yellowed leaves about 2 days ago and peeked into the grow room this morning to find previously (relatively) green leaves starting to yellow! I admit weeks back I probably wasn't that good with Nitrogen feeding;however, now Week 7 into flowering (day 44) should I be worried or is this type of yellowing normal at this stage? Please give your advice, thanks!

cptpwnzor Day 50 is here! Starting to get some solid brown pistils along with leaf yellowing - even though as I admitted before I was light on the nitrogen in the past few weeks. Temps are around 72 - 80 during the 20 hour cycle and wish I could get them lower along with the humidity (~65%) but its been more difficult to control both in my basement and with the varying hot and rainy days outside here in the Northeast.

cptpwnzor Will provide a more more detailed update with photos this weekend -but the ladies are putting on some serious weight and frost. Are the crispy leaves due to too much light / heat? been in the 72-81 range.

cptpwnzor See my comments above - will update once cured and for first smoke report.
