This 4 Assed Monkey from Mephisto grew well. I had no issues and it produced some grape smelling tight little buds. I have it curing now and can't wait to try it out.
I sampled it 9 days into curing and was very pleased with the flavor. The Grape Crinkle is very noticeable and taste very sweet. It is very smooth and isn’t harsh at all. I am pumped about my first harvest and excited I chose Mephisto Genetics 4 Assed Monkey. I was looking for an auto that has that grape taste like I’ve had on a few occasions and this delivered. The high is powerful and is a really good night smoke. I am sampling every couple days now to fully grasp what the curing process is doing and I am learning so much. I purchased 2 small hygrometers to move around from jar to jar and am able to keep humidity around 65 right now. I am opening the jars daily and leaving them open for 30min-Overnight. I can see the curing process working and can tell how it will benefit the end product if done correctly.

Harvested on day 73 with about 10-20% amber. After drying for almost 5 days shes ready to cure. I was pleased with the 33 grams from this 4 Assed Monkey and overall pleased with my total harvest of 106 grams. More to come after curing.
I took the discarded trim from all 3 plants and put in the freezer after drying and used it to make dry ice hash. I was able turn my trash into almost 2 grams of hash. I used 2 bags and was surprised by how much it produced. The first size I used was 120 (1.3g) and the second was 220 (.6g). the 220 has some more green to it and the 120 has a little also. Next harvest should produce more trim and I plan to use the 73 micron to get better quality next time. This was my first grow so I just wanted to test out my dry ice bags to learn. I have to admit it was one of the easiest and most rewarding processes. I purchased 1.6lbs of dry ice for $3 and used a clean 5 gallon bucket to mix everything together. Watching it cover the sheet of glass as you shake it is very cool and it produced much more than I thought it would. You can also taste both the OG Kush and 4AM since the trim was from all 3 plants.
I’m probably not supposed to post links so I will just say that Grow Weed Easy dot com was a great resource for me along with this site. Thank You for looking at my diary and for everyone’s help throughout this great experience.

Grow Questions
Electro19started grow question 5 years ago
I was wondering if there is anything I can use with autos to create a bigger more dense bud? I see a lot of products out there and not sure which one is good for autos and at what strength. I am using Fox Farms products and have about 3-4 weeks before I begin my final flush.

Theres sooo many different products out there that are made for what you want , they have a very very wide variety of nutrients that help in this manner . I prefer advanced nutrients you tend to have a little more control over your grow with that line up , but you could use products like b52 , bud candy , bud ignitor, big bud and over drive . When these products or similar products are used in combination they do wounders to your buds and yield . Of course we cant forget about our basics either to have the right light right temps and a good medium these 3 things are far more important then nutrients . You're also just beggining the stretch phase of your plant flower cycle she will get tall in order to make space to form flowers ! If your still not satisfied with this after you harvest then you could always search for additives in order to help make it easier for you

@Wachsemilian,
Thank you, I wanted to start with good genetics for my first grow, especially since I was going with Autos. Fastbuds delivered as my 2 plants were just as described. Mephisto’s 4AM also produced an awesome plant. Thanks for looking!

Nice looking buds! I just harvested a West Coast OG that I harvested on day 73. I think I have a picture of it in my current diary on week 9 or 10, check it out. Peace.

Your Girl is looking good, Budbuilding is a combination of TIME, LIGHT, POTSIZE... and in the end Nutrients. For beeeing "ripe" the Buds will need 6-8 Week of Flower. You got 300 W Led if its the right Number that should be enough.And you are using Big pots welldone. You are using blooming fertiliser thats good, go on ... Can you lower the Temperature a bit=?that would make her feel more comfortable. Happy growing
You can add some Molasses to your water for the microbacterias in you soil

Hi @Electro19! I've had great results using Greenleafnutrients products, MegaCrop for the veg stage and BudExplosion for the flowering stage. On the other hand I've seen a few people having issues with FoxFarms, it seems that nutrient burn happens really quickly with their product range, but I never tried by myself. BioBizz is also an excellent choice when it comes to organic fertilizers, BioGrow + BioBloom will give you great yields. Now, since you're already in the middle of the flowering stage, I wouldn't recommend to switch your fertilizer now, keep on feeding with FoxFarms unless you're seeing a toxicity or a deficiency, autos are easy to hurt/stress, so you rather end your run with FoxFarms and try another fertilizer brand for your next run. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊

Its weird they all staying the same size. They should have started stretching. Are you sure those seeds are authentic?
My first grow was kind of meh but I had amazing auto genetics that made um for my lack of experience.
First grows are always a learning experience.

I want say thank you to everyone that responded, it’s communities like this that really help noobs like me. Sorry I can’t select more than one helpful answer. I have been looking at Open Sesame, Beatie Blooms, and Cha Ching in the Fox Farm Line but not sure which to use. Cha Ching seems to be for late flowering but that is what I’m considering. Being autos and my first harvest I’m hesitant to try much since they seem healthy. I would like to bulk up the buds obviously though.

The seeds were authentic in sealed Fastbuds and Mephisto packaging. I can only enter one height in the stats section. The California Gold Rush is about 14-15" now and was 11" two days ago. The West Coast OG is about 13-14" now and was 10" two days ago. the 4AM is about 9-10" and was 8" two days ago.
I am happy with the Cali and OG but the 4AM seems behind. I'm still not sure what to expect for a finishing height. I have definitely learned a lot so far and I'm really enjoying the process. I have been cautious to not over water and I have used very little nutrients since they are autos and I'm new to this. This may have caused the plant to not produce as much as it could had I been more willing to add nutes earlier and in greater quantities? The plants have looked healthy and are really starting to flower now.
