Mephisto Sour Stomper + Double Grape & Biotabs first run!
Finally, getting those seeds to sprout was a bit of a struggle. I had three duds, which hasn't happened in ages. Weird, right?
I'm chalking it up to the brutal end-of-winter chill making it tough to keep the tent cozy at a steady 22 degrees. But hey, now that winter's on its way out, the temps should even out. Winter growing, especially with organics, is just not my jam.
Anyway, soon I'll have some room to spare in my main tent, so I'll shift the gang over there. For now, they're just chilling under my other lights in a little makeshift spot.
Oh, and if you're curious about my soil mix, I've been following the "Just Add Water" Strategy from Biotabs. You can check out their manual if you're interested. The only tweak I've made is popping the Bio tab in around day 7 and the other one on day 30, as per the recommendations.

Soil Mix:
70% Biobizz light-mix & 30% Perlite
Let's see how this experiment goes. If it pans out, I might treat myself to an autopot and go full-on automation mode (a guy can dream, right?).
see you next week!
hey man, great looking plants. Actually doing a sour stomper run myself using almost all the same nutes, just without the PK booster compost tea. It says you were using 4ml/l of orgatrex and 8ml/l PK booster, are those numbers right? Just wondering if I should increase mine, currently feeding 2ml/l orgatrex and 1ml/l PK booster but I'm not sure if it's enough as I'm seeing some slight deficiency
@ayca_roomba, Hey there, thanks!
If you’re not using compost tea, you probably won’t need the extra Orgatrex maybe your 2ml is enough. When managing multiple plants, the site's UI can be confusing since some nutrients might overlap during the weeks.
Here’s what I’ve been doing:
Since Week 4:
For 1 liter of tea, I add about 4 ml of Orgatrex and 15 grams of the tea, then let it bubble.
(Note this enough for 2 plants, each one get 500ml)
Week 5:
8 ml of Bio-PK.
Then repeat this process until the end.
I think you can increase your Bio PK input, I remember being afraid of using their recommended dosage and asked them by email and they said its not a problem even for autos
If you have any extra questions feel free to ask.
n7ce, enjoy the smoke...
kinda bit fluffy, maybe an additional lamp? I had 120w (sanlight) in may small tent, it was too few on 80x40 cm, with an additional 30w bloom lamp and 7w uv for 1h/day much better. just sayin..
@Own_Tomatillo, thanks for the tip, man! Indeed, that light wasn't strong enough for my tent, but I ordered a new panel that will arrive next week. I hope my plants will be fatter in the next cycles!
@wunderbaer, thanks, man! Indeed, it's great genetics, and I recommend it. Besides the poor germination rate I had with Double Grape (possibly due to old seeds from Seedsman since meph still wont sell in Europe since brexit), it's one of my favorite strains I've grown so far. I will probably grow it again or try some crosses from the breeder.
@Biotabs, thanks :) A big thanks for your products and support! I was harvesting the Sour Stomper a few minutes ago and noticed how solid and well-structured the buds are. The pictures don't do them justice, but even the popcorn buds are beautiful and no fluffy spots at all.
This was my first run with Biotabs, and I made some mistakes, however, the results were amazing. I bet the next ones will be even better. 😍
They are really starting to fill out now! I’ve had issues growing in jiffy pellets before so I think you are right that they are possibly the culprit. Keep up the great work 🌲
Look how gluey they are😍
fantastic
thank you for the long Text, andrating of our Products.
you nailed it in saying " feeding the soil, and not the Plant, thats the key for sucessful growing, saving envoirement, and saving money in the end.
