DrJones This strain was so nice I had to grow it again πŸ‘Œ I soaked the seed in water overnight, then plugged it into soil the next day. The soil was pre watered to run off. 3 days later the seedling emerged. I’m using recycled lightmix in a 16L fabric pot with a bit of added worm castings to top half of the soil to help with early seedling and root growth. Light: 20% @ 35cm @ 24/0h = 14 DLI Humidity: 65% Temperature: 21c

DrJones Trained her side branches down a bit more to widen the canopy. I think I’m gonna bend her main cola over to even everything out too. And I’ll probably do a bit of nipping, tucking etc next week. Light: 32cm @ 62.5% @ 18/6h approx 40DLI

DrJones This week i adjusted the LST and super cropped the main stem. I also defoliated leaves that were blocking other bud sites and removed a couple of sucker branches from the lower area. I left a few fan leaves around the outside and where they weren’t blocking anything. Unfortunately I burned some leaf tips after feeding green sensation(pk boost) this week. πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ I forgot the sea silica has potassium in it as well. I think she would benefit from a plain water feed next week because as well as the burned tips there are a few shiny leaves and clawed tips too! Light: 60% @ 32cm @ 18/6 DLI approx 40

DrJones Here we are at the end of week 8 and her flowers have started pumping out some serious resin just oozing with terps! I fed half strength nutrients and cut out the silica, sugar royal, and green sensation this week due to burned tips and some clawed tips. The leaves still look shiny tbh and some tips are still clawed so I’ll continue as I am for now and ramp it back up when I thinks she’s ready for it. I’m also gonna reduce DLI a tiny bit.

DrJones So after using half strength nutrients for a week she started to cannibalise her lower leaves, taking nutrients from them and sending to upper growth where required. In view of that, I started giving full dose again and reduced DLI to 35. Light: 68% @ 37cm @ 18/6h approx 35DLI

DrJones Increased DLI to approximately 45. Buds are starting to swell but not quite at the finish line. Also waiting for some amber trichs because I'm looking for a stoney effect from this harvest. Hoping another week will do it πŸ™

DrJones She's nearly there! Still not quite milky enough yet so I'm gonna let her go for another week while I keep an eye on those trichs. I defoliated some dying fan leaves since they weren't doing anything other than block light. Hopefully the lower buds will enjoy the extra exposure for the remainder of their time in the tent.

What are the Terps on this strain? Any sort of Kiwi come through? Or is it just straight gas?!
DrJones
DrJones commented2y ago
@PersonalSmok3s, tbh I'm not getting any distinctive kiwi smells to the nose, definitely a mild sweetness coming from it but mostly funk and gas, I can't actually remember the last time I ate or smelled a kiwi though haha

Beautiful work! I'm wondering why your DLI is at 45? Is this not too much for the plants - thus stressing with maybe too much light? I have a Meph. Double Grape at 31 DLI with roughly three weeks to go - should I increase DLI like you??
DrJones
DrJones commented2y ago
@MMSC16, Thanks! I just followed a DLI chart for autos I found on Google tbh. I flowered my grape walker kush from meph at 35 but pushed it to 40 for the last week and that seemed less stressed than this run so maybe 45 was a bit much.. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

What did you think of this strain I ran it years ago when it first came out and to this day it's one of my favorite smokes I've ever had
DrJones
DrJones commented2y ago
@iSmokedaily, to be brutally honest, I was slightly underwhelmed with the overall experience. The bud structure is more suited for making hash IMO. And it's not as smelly as I expected. Don't get me wrong, I think it's nice. It has a nice aroma, and gets me high af, and tastes decent, but honestly I expected more from Mephisto after everything I've read. I chose this strain because of the stardawg illuminati heritage but I'm not getting even a slight hint of that coming through...
