This week I removed a couple of side branches and did a little defoliation.
Annoyingly I noticed fungus gnats but not too bad and iv grown monstors with them before - they don’t seem to go for the buds and I’ll wash anyway.
Iv started using the COB either 50w or 100w I can’t remember but I dimmed the Mars hydro one in compensation. Iv also turned off the water and will probably leave it off for a good few days until it may kill them? Who knows…
I must admit I am tempted to just chop it now and start again but it’s actually nearly time for the first flower update as I added this one late.
We are getting some stretch now. I pinched the top side branches and tucked one of the fan leaves to give more light to the side node at the bottom. I noticed the one on the side of the extra light was bigger so I turned the pot 180 degrees also.
This was the first one iv not LST’d yet and tbh, at this stage I’m not sure why they tell you not to. Don’t think I’ll get as big of a yield from this than my smoothie but then I have a while to go yet.
Looking good the flower sites should be popping up now and buds start to form
Iv got the same plant but my internodes seem more stacked closer together
Check it out if you like 😎
Good luck on your grow
@cboyaki,yeah I had an issue with adding too little grow dots - so I’m having to supplement with my normal hydrosol….far from the perfect grow but we have a heat wave cheer atm which isn’t helping!
@cboyaki,hey man, yeh I had issues with it stretching. I had run a proper indica under just the MH ts-1000, on its own and I had no issue with stretch because I managed to get the dimming process right, with this one, I decided to add the MH TS-600 as well seeing as I had one. I think the issue is I was used to using my MH fc-e3000 connected to an MH-FC-E3000 connected to a MH TS-30000 in a proper sized tent to be able to get 6 plants in 1x2x2m, it literally lined the walls of the room I was in so I was used to putting the dimmer on 10% and stupidly did the same with these weaker lights . I did realise but it was too late really. I’ll start at 50% next time as I have some mephisto seeds in stock…I’m pretty much just going to let the first mephisto do it’s thing and just read on the website what they like and what they don’t. That’s what I love about mephisto, they tell you quite a few hints about growing that particular strain
I’ll check yours out now! Cheers for commenting- take a look at some of the bigger grows iv done, I’m particularly proud of the blueberry and the Afghan kush..
@StealthyBuds,cheers bro, pretty amazing considering it had less than ideal nutrients…let’s put it like that haha one of my worst grows I’d say but it’s inspired me to start up the 2x4 again and use my Mars Hydro FC-E3000 as well as the ts-600 probably, unless I can be assed to fix that old school cob.
@Herbie101,yeah to be fair, it’s on me. I been growing more than long enough to know I should have seen the signs. Thing is I changed two variables so pretty hard to know at the time.
