I took off the two original fan leaves to encourage the bottom nodes to grow bigger quicker. Other than that iv done fuck all - I will switch out the fan system soon for an actual in-line but the RAM one sounds like a jet engine! Putting it off or was hoping to get another.
Update - I did end up taking off another fan leaf, there were three on top so I took one as it was growing from a different node and was shadowing light from the bottom side branches - which I want to get almost as large as the main cola
I made myself NOT top this one because iv never done it before and with an auto I figured I should probably at least try it without topping. Loads of auto seed manufacturers or breeders (duh, English not good there lol) say not to top autos and when I tried the ‘planting into the final pot’ technique, I got much better results so why not try it.
Last time I grew this I was no-where near as ‘tuned into’ the plant as it was one I grew quite early - it was actually one of the first ones I got a good yield from. I remember it being weak though because I think I grew it under. 50w or 100w cob (probably the same one I’m using as well for flowering for a few weeks - a month.
I am aware I need to switch out the fans for a proper inline one soon but it’s growing really well atm and I figured i would just let it keep going. If she gets too tall when she stretches I can do some bending of cola stems to make it all fit but I’m looking way too far ahead of that right now.
The genetics of this one is less indica and more sati an anyway so I think it’ll be more useful medically ;y for me tbh - I remember it being. a good day time strain before but then THC levels were lower (I’d imagine) from the fact I used so little light last time.
Aaanyway, enough babbling - did a watering with ecothrive biosys yesterday - will start with the Mammoth P when flowering starts and she starts stretching and stuff, because I do definitely feel like it boosted my yields last grow, I had like 10-20% more yield than I’m used t- getting from a plant - sometimes that does just happen naturally though so this grow will be a bit of a test for that because ITS EXPENSIVE! It may make more sense to take that money and just buy medical prescribed weed with it - it depends how much it improves my yields over the course of the rest of the bottle.
Oh I also bought some Mephisto! Iv been wanting to grow some of their stuff since I started seriously with auto’s but they always used to be out of stock at the time (this was a few years ago now). I got 3x of their Double Grape, then I got one of their Alien VS Triangle. I also got a free SODK x super orange haze, which sounds really nice but iv not looked it up 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.
