Mephisto 4 assed monkey

syzergy was planning on defoliating only the top 2 fan leaves. ended up caving and doing a standard LST with plant stakes. no food, bottled water only at this point

syzergy day 21 in pictures. at this point i think was pretty worried about slow growth, but just trying to chill and hope it worked out. im still a new grower, and each plant i always think its smaller than it should be.

syzergy best i have is day 25 as i went on vacation this week i think. this is pre and post defoliation maybe? idk, been a while.

syzergy day 34 she is looking better. still a bit small, but at this point im less worried about her size.

syzergy this is for sure pre and post defol. i really chopped more than i usually do on purpose. ive been trying to get bigger buds and thought that maybe the larfy extra were stealing energy.

syzergy day 53. like i said, new grower. i believe i was on a 20/4 schedule, and every night my leaves would look super wilted, like they were getting too much light. not soon after this picture i switched to 18/6 and she looked much happier overall. i would think it was too much dli, but i found out a few weeks later my PPFD readings were WAY off, by 500pts or so, so i was severly underlighting her.

syzergy day 59, she is looking much happier in general after the light switch. at this point ive fed her a few NLS teas, scratched in some NLS grow about day 30 and maybe day 42 ish. now im starting to feed only NLS flower power teas every 2 weeks wiht a bit of scrached in 2-8-4

syzergy day 66. ive fed some NLS flower power tea and scratched some in, still chugging along in the autopot.

syzergy day 70 here, trying to keep the weeks in check per the weekly choice thing, but probably mixed up a few days, doing this all at once. this is about the time i got the migro light and realized how far off my PPFD readings were and that i was giving way less light than she needed. the great thing is this really solved (i think) the small bud and slow early growth i was seeing. its a bit too late for her, but hopefully it helps my future plants.

syzergy some pics from week 11. chances are ill harvest in 2 - 4 days. not sure if ill remember to upload more to this diary. ill try to add some pics day of harvest, and then come back with a dry/smoke report. either way, im happy with this grow. even with the underlighting, she is frosty, and smells amazing. i think she will be great once harvested and dried/cured. excited for future grows with the correct ppfd all the way through.
