This has been a great week for these Sour Stompers.
They're looking fairly healthy and strong and seem satisfied by the change in light and room. Ive been able to keep the humidity higher which surely makes them happy...but I've also been having day temps staying pretty steady in the 84 range and i wish it would go a few degrees lower.
Since the temperatures have been sometimes up to like 86 F I decided to give them a small dose of kelp in the hopes it actually does help cope with temperatures etc. They're also getting a good dose of micronutrients and a very minimal dose of grow nutrients. I haven't seen any adverse side effects as of yet.
I've been very tempted to try doing some training on these 2 plants, however given the disastrous attempt and snap of the older sister I think I should let them grow natural first. I'll try some training once I've got a better understanding of these time bomb auto flowering varieties.
Thanks for everyone's advice and encouragement over the recent indoor adventure. Cheers to spring coming to the northern hemisphere here soon. ✌️
Are there any opinions on what sort of lighting is best for seedlings? Should they get a lower light intensity than bigger veg plants, or does a 300 watt not sound too strong?
I've usually started babies under cfl lights...just curious if its safe to expose them to others in their 1st week or so.
@starphish, I can definitely see that...i think i start thinking the plants need much more than they really do and i regret it later. The more i leave them alone the better they do most the time.
@Experimentgreen,
From my 10+ experience you can get by with a lot less for seedlings. (single cfl) However when applied to autoflowers. I like to give them all I can the entire photoperiod. I've done seed to flower with a 300watt (127 true watts) Roleadro and it did great albeit smaller yields with less light but speed and vigor was there :)
My pumice floats a little. It is much better than pearlite regarding to float. After a month in my pot, pumice no longer float. And I tend to blend fine size with small size.
@Med_in_Tropic, ill try that thanks for the tip. There is a diamataceous earth product that fine like the pumice but it's expensive but it lets out silica into the grow slowly which is awesome and then keeps some bugs at bay.
Beautiful! Amazing job. Love mephisto genetics. Have a few mystery mix seeds going and really hoping one turns out to be these. Keep doing what your doing and best of luck with the rest of your grow
@Denzul, thanks it's been an exciting indoor season. My 1st sour stomper was a bit of a mess but with a few changes these 2 turned out much bigger, wider, fuller canopy and just over all better. How will you know what the mysteries are? Educated guessing?✌️
Pretty much. Meph only carries about 30 strains at a time so sometimes you can compare it to other diaries to determine. Sometimes it's just to hard to determine. Mephheads on reddit are also extremely helpful thread to help figure it out.
@ChefDan420, Thanks, its amazing how much better these 2 sour stompers are doing versus the 1st one. Just a few small adjustments and they're way healthier, more full foliage. It's great
