It's amazing how changing a few small conditions will make the plants so much more healthy, happy and vigorous. These 2 sour stompers did some amazing growth this week both vertically and width wise. The one is basically as wide as it is tall now which is great. They both have great color and just look very happy overall.
Both plants are receiving the low dose feedings still and i haven't seen any unhealthy leaves or any other bad side effects.
I had thought trying to train them with some lst was a good idea but as i saw the 1 sour stomper i grew suffer i decided to let them grow naturally and just tuck the larger leaves that are blocking the new growth sites.
I believe this will be the last vegetative week as ive started seeing very small signs of pistils beginning to try creeping out. With the incredible amount of growth they did in just the last 7 days i expect by next week they'll be entirely different. So my main goal is keeping them happy and disaster free.
* I have noticed a small scent of fresh growing cannabis around, not overwhelming, but definitely present. I saw an interesting video of a home made carbon filter and have looked at other options too and will decide on what to try here soon.
Happy growing everyone.
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
