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. Manual: https://biotabs.nl/download/organic-cultivation-manual-english.pdf 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!

Hello, another week and they're thriving! The largest one is currently at 15 days, the medium-sized at 11, and the smallest at 9 days. I plan to introduce the bio tab to the smallest plant on day 14 as a test, as I've done with the others on day 7. Since I haven't transplanted them or made any changes, I'm concerned about potential nutrient toxicity, so I'll exercise caution with this one. However, everything seems to be progressing well, and I'm eagerly anticipating the results! :)

Starting off a new week, and the gang's growing a tad slower than I thought, but hey, it's all good. The one giving me some worry was Sour Stomper B, she was lagging behind the other two, but now she's starting to catch up. Gave the older one a feed yesterday with 1 gram of Bactrex. I was thinking of giving them some Orgatrex, but I reckon the soil's a bit too spicy at the moment, so I'll hold off on that for now. That's it for this week.

Another week kicking off. They've definitely changed quite a bit since last week. The two little ones are lagging behind a bit... it's interesting though, those are the only ones I've started off with jiffies. The big one just went straight into the pot. Maybe the jiffies are the culprit? Also, looks like they're showing some signs of too much nitrogen, and also and I doubt Sour Stomper B is going to grow into a big girl. I planned to insert a new tab on the Sour Stomper A, but I will wait a couple of days before. Feed everyone with 1gr Bactrex on day 21 and also doing some LST almost everyday on the Sour Stomper A.

Starting off the new week strong! Things really took off last week with some impressive growth especially Double Grape. I've been keeping an eye on them and doing lots of LST, making sure they don't get too stretched out and stressed from the light. Just gave them their first dose of compost tea, 500ml for the big girl and 250ml for the little ones. Also popped in some tabs for everyone on day 30. That's it! Let's see how they bloom. So far, so good!

Hey there, Just checking in for another week! Things are looking pretty good overall. They're in the early flowering stage now, and most of the crew is doing great—except for Stour Stomper B, poor thing's been having a rough time since the get-go. I messed up a bit by putting the tabs in too early, so there's a bit of nitrogen overload happening, but hey, we live and learn, right? Despite that, the girls are holding up well. Today, I gave the older one their first dose of bio PK, and the younger ones got their first taste of compost tea on day 35. Oh, and shoutout to Biotabs for being awesome! I got my first Bactrex, but it was more like a rock instead of powder form. I hit them up, and they were super cool about it, sending me a replacement and some extra goodies.

As another week begins, the plants are looking incredibly beautiful. A plethora of trichomes has emerged since last week, especially on Double Grape; she is exceptionally stunning and frosty. I'm truly in love with them. Even Sour Stomper B, which was previously struggling, has found her way. Though she is suffering from nitrogen excess, I take full responsibility. I recall that when I put the tab on day 30, the tab dissolved unexpectedly, which may have contributed to the issue. Nevertheless, apart from that, I am immensely pleased with their progress. It's been a while since I've had plants that looked this healthy. Today, I applied Compost Tea to the older plants and administered 8ml of Bio PK-5-8 to each of them on Day 42. And they are drinking a lot of water, like 1liter every day.

Hey there! Another week kicks off, and things are really blooming now. The buds are plumping up nicely, and there's a whole bunch of trichomes popping up. Looks like Sour Stomper A might be dealing with a bit of a potassium deficiency. I've already given her some PK 5-8, but since she's nearing day 60, it's possible this fading is just par for the course as she likely prioritizes resources for bud production over older leaves. Sour Stomper B, on the other hand, is absolutely killing it. She started off a bit slow, but now she's flourishing. As for Double Grape, despite having two duds during germination, it's shaping up to be one of the most stunning plants I've ever grown. Btw, they smell fucking amazzingggggggggg Cya

Hey, Just checking in - another week kicked off, and things are smooth sailing. No major hiccups. Watching the buds plump up each day is pretty awesome. They're really coming along nicely. Still sticking to the booster schedule as recommended. They seem to be loving the compost tea + pk 5-8 combo. That's it.

Hi there, Final stretch for the girls! Sour Stomper A is ready for harvest. I'll cut her today—checked her trichomes, and there's a good percentage of ambers. Double Grape also looks ready, but I'll give her one more week. She's gonna yield well, I think. Her buds are so heavy the branches are falling. Sour Stomper B still has 1 or 2 weeks to go, though I'll need to harvest her in 8 days since I'll be away at the beginning of the month. I enjoyed how fast these strains were. I bought them based on the breeder's and growers' reviews, and they didn't disappoint in that matter. I'll update later with the harvest.

Let's go :) I will harvest the other sour stomper next week, then i will update.

Really happy with that cycle! :) Had to harvest her on day 68, she was asking for it, all the leaves were dying and her trichs were ready.
