💚Mephisto Genetics💚 (Experiment)

BrediniGreeny Welcome to what I’m calling my Mephisto Genetics Experiment!😄 Why the dramatic name? Because the summer forecast is hotter than a jalapeño in a sauna.😫😫. We’re about to find out how well we can dance through the heat—me, my plants, and the mighty air conditioner. I’ve already ordered a mobile AC unit to keep things chill—literally. On May 15th, I kicked off the experiment by putting a Forum Stomper from Mephisto Genetics bean to germinate. I couldn’t stop myself there (classic me), so on May 17th, I added a Double Grape to the mix because… let’s be honest, that grower itch is real, and I just had to scratch it. Now here’s the twist: I'm keeping these seeds in the good ol’ wet paper towel method, tucked gently inside a plastic container. But here’s where it gets a bit odd—they’re always with me. Like, on me. I’m experimenting to see if my body warmth helps with germination. Will it make a difference? Will I become some kind of sprout whisperer? Only time will tell. So that's it for now. Two seeds, one AC unit on the way, and a summer of sweaty suspense ahead. Let’s see how this goes—stay tuned and root for me (pun very much intended)!😏😛 5/19/25 May 19th – We Have Liftoff! 🚀 Today’s the day – both seeds have germinated! One of them, our little Forum Stomper, ditched her helmet (left her seed shell behind in the paper towel) and even spread her cotyledon leaves while I wasn’t looking. The other, Double Grape, is just starting to show her taproot. I placed them both into pre-soaked coco tablets (soaked in pH 6.5 water with 0.1ml of root juice). Gave them a nice mist with room temperature water, tucked them into a glass container, and now it’s up to them. Fingers crossed, but for now — liftoff achieved! 🌱✨ 5/23/25 The Mephisto Genetics experiment is going really well. The little ones are now a bit bigger and just moved into larger pots. I used BioBizz Light Mix with added perlite—about a 50/50 ratio. I also added TNC Mycorr Plus for beneficial fungi and microbes. To protect the roots from fungus gnats, I topped the soil with a layer of clay granules and a bit of sand. The Double Grape is looking good, just slightly crooked from chasing light on the windowsill. Forum Stomper had some trouble with her cotyledons, but she's pushing out her first true leaves now and looks like she'll bounce back.🙏💚 I also gave them about 150 ml of water total, pH 6.3, PPM 105, at a temperature of 22.5°C. Each plant got roughly 75 ml. They’re now in the tent where just one SF-1000 is on over the Gelato Auto, far away😁 and receiving around 168 µmol/m²/s PAR. Stay tuned—things are looking promising.😊💚🌱
