I have been removing certain fan leaves the whole way through this grow, so that the light will actually get to the bottom two nodes I have left on - I’m thinking I should have chopped those ones and kept the ones I cut but I know that for the next time.
I do remember the way the plant grows though, really long leaf stems and branches - you can definitely see the saliva way more in this breed than the smoothie, simply by morphology alone.
I WOULD have topped it again also - although having said that we don’t know if there will be a huge main cola yet - it’s certainly showing some pistols and those bunches of smaller thinner leaves you get when it just starts flowering.
I also raised the height a little because the plant had grown and I wanted to keep them 30cm (ish) from the plant and it has grown. I am tempted to really fill it out next time and do a ‘solo’ cup grow as well to make use of the spare (although a REALLY small amount!)
Over here they are just party cups (but the same thing and size - you can also get them in clear, which is more common or SOMETIMES opaque ones but tbh it wouldn’t take much to wrap so,e Gorilla tape around the outer one. (I love that stuff, none of their products have ever failed me!)
Anyway, enjoy the pics - next time I will most likely do one of the Mephisto seeds as I have with these last two grows as iv been itching to grow Mephisto for a LONG time but back before I took my break it was really hard to get seeds from them - they would just sell out immediately! I may have to do another run of the apricot fast buds depending on time, heat, humidity etc as I don’t want to be drying my bud at like 24degrees c again - that sucked, especially having grown it before and dried it in winter where the ambient temps are perfect for drying!
I am thinking of adding a few more grow dots - maybe 3G because the colour of the leaves is a little light for my liking….ahhhh shit I just realised they are timed release and so would be releasing N when i need them to release P+K.
I think I will actually add a small amount of hydrobloom (my normal hydro nute), just to darken them leaves as we head into flowering - for stretch.
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.
