This will be my 3rd attempt at growing Mephisto Genetics Auto Flowering seeds. I put 1 Mephisto Genetics Beary White seed,1 Mephisto Genetics Skylar White seed and 1 Mephisto Genetics Skystomper seed in separate damp paper towels and kept them between 2 plates for 36 hours. All 3 seeds popped within 24 hours. Then, I put them in 3-gallon pots with 3/4 Fox Farm Happy Frog soil and 1/4 Fox Farm Light Warrior seedling soil at the top. I'll be using Advanced Nutrients on this garden and that feeding schedule will begin around week 2.
I went ahead and filled the soil to the top of the pots with FoxFarm Happy Frog and I also began uncovering the seedlings from underneath their clear plastic humidity dome cups.
Next week, they all go into the Grow tent!
Keeping the humidity up and giving them more H2O every 2 days. It going to be so nice to know that I have these strains growing again in my tent. I can't say enough about Beary White and Skystomper, such a quality effect.
These little ladies are doing great and I've started low-stress training this week. They seem to drink up their water very fast now so I have to make sure to keep them feed. I can't complain about anything right now and it's been a real joy to grow them. Mephisto Genetics really are amazing strains and I'm so lucky to be able to grow them!
This week was about training these plants to have an even canopy and increase their overall yield potential. I've seen a few small bugs that could either be aphids or fungus gnats. I've added some ladybugs into the grow space to get rid of them. These plants are doing well and I'm hoping they'll veg for a few more weeks before going into pre-flower.
This week I had to redo the LST tie-down setups on each plant so that they could readjust where the top colas were located. These plants are doing just fine with this type of training. I'll have a much heavier yield than ever before, and it only took me 3 attempts to make these Auto bloom out to their full potential. I still think that Skystomper is a great strain, but it's pretty hard to get it to branch out just like I want it to. I think this is because the stalk is super thick and resists the training I put it through. I really wish that I had another 1000 watt LED setup, but I'm not going to worry about that now because I'm planning on buying another couple of lights in January.
I can't believe how well these ladies are doing. They look fan-leaf-tastic! These are probably the best strains Mephisto Genetics offers and I'm glad I'm getting to grow them in my garden. I might have to make a lot of live resin with these buds when they're harvested.
I can't wait to see this harvest. All the plants are doing great and smell so awesome! I have had a little trouble trying to make sure that these plants are getting enough food because they all seem to take in a lot more water while in these smaller pots. I've discovered that I'm really needing another grow light and I might have to search my area for a used 400-600 HPS light to finish them off for the next couple of week of their flowering stage. I really think the light has a lot to do with bud development and bulking them up so I think I may have too many plants for just the one used King Plus 1000watt LED light. No worries though, because they are growing and I'll have ample high-quality top-shelf marijuana for the next 4-6 months.
This strain is going down as one of my absolute favorites from the whole Mephisto catalog. The smell is consistent with a fruity yet heavily citrus dank lemon combined with an earthy pine aroma. I can't stop bragging about Mephisto Genetics Beary White because it's truly a top-shelf bud strain. Growing Beary White High-Quality Marijuana is worth it! Check through their seed info and you'll see other great genetics like the Sour Crack strain.
I don't have a scale anymore so the dry and wet numbers are just an estimate. Sorry about that!
✓Beary white is a medium sized variety, she doesn't veg for too long before rapidly entering the flowering phase. She has a nice balance of resin coverage on both leaves and flowers.
✓Flowers grow nicely compact and the quality is great.
✓She is a lovely all-rounder in many aspects.
✓Effect - Strong, Happy, relaxed, but not too Inda-couch.
✓Medicinal Benefits - Great strain for pain management and stress relief.
Thank you so much for the seeds to grow this great tasting strain.

I can't wait to make some live rosin with some of these buds because the taste is a super delicious earthy grapefruit undertone with a sweet lemony pine aroma.
What can I say that I haven't already said about Skylar White? This plant is amazing and tastes great. The best part about the strain is the smell. I can't get enough and when I'm feeling a little bit anxious I go ahead and burn one down for good measure.
Skystomper by Mephisto Genetics is a fantastic strain! Luckily for me that Skystomper is resilient and easy to grow. I would recommend growing Skystomper because the aroma is to die for and the THC production is out of control.
I love this strain and I'm so happy to be able to grow it. I've already put another seed in some good Fox Farm Light Warrior soil and I'm ready to make this next grow outstanding!
The pot size to small. My recomendation 5-6 galon SmartPot or AirPot. Night temperature to low, you should rize it to 21-22'C. Veg light to small as well. Tip growing with same spectrum from seed to harvest, increase yield in 15-20%. So if you have dimmer on your LED dim it to 1/2 power for veg. 1000w LED its alot! Its about 500w draw from the wall! You can sucsessfull run on it 5 plants at least with 10-12 gallon pots it can yield up to 1 kilo!!!
@CrazyDiamond, thank you! That's the best advice I've ever gotten. I'm really aiming to get the fulliest flavors, aromas and potencies that I can grow. I will take your recommendations to heart and use them for my next garden.
@DopeLeaves, all those things that increase yield increase potency as well. I know that if you wanna get the highest potency of the genetics you growing, you have to give the plants a UV-A and UV-B light. Some people say it stress the plants and decrease yields, but it is not so, cause cannabis is one of those plants that needs high UV light, aspecialy indica. Usualy good LEDs have the UV in its spectrum.
If you think that cooler night temps doesn't sterss your plants, you're wrong! It slows down metabolism preaty bad. If you wanna increase yield, potency and faster growth - keep the night temps at 21-22'C. If you wanna make a plant to get that purple touch give them 17-18'C only last week before harvest.
I've cheked out the info of your LED and it's not so powerfull as i though. It consumes only 185w draw from the wall. My recomendation is to give up the T5 flc and grow with your LED from seed to harvest. Just keep it at 50-60cm(22-24") away fom cannopy at veg and 25-30cm(11-12") at flowering. And buy yourself 15-20litter AirPots or SmartPots. Make your soil mix lighter by adding to it coco-perlight 50% to give more oxigen and space to the roots. Another thing - buy "Dr.Earth 69 metabolic tansformer" it's the best benifical bacteria & fungi on the market. And you will see fantastic results!
@DopeLeaves if you get airpots they hold less than their equivalent...for example a 5 gallon super roots air pot holds 3.8 gallon actual volume...here is a link to the ones I'm referring too and what I am thinking about upgrading to...spend a little extra money now but save each time on a little soil...I would think these maybe a good investment and a way to keep overhead down my friend...I see some people using these pots and having great results and I'm thinking about investing in some myself but wanted to point out that pot size and actual size are different on the airpots so make sure to check that over before purchase...don't know if this allowed or not but here is a link to the ones I'm looking at and their specs and such...if these pots increase yields and save on soil consumption like advertised they would be well worth the money I believe...hope this is helpful and happy growing my friend!!!!!

@Sillyasswhitedude, Thanks, man but I'm not paying $64.99 for 6 pots when I can get 10, 5-gallon pots for $8 on Amazon.
I do own those larger pots (not the air vent ones you recommended) and I've used them for my gardens before, but then I ended up paying much more for soil. Haha, I'm not rich and I grow for my own use.
Having a high yielding harvest is not my reason for growing. On my first Grow Diary, I grew almost a half a pound of Masterkush and guess what... I still have a ton of it left. It's like a year old so I'm not really wanting to smoke it as much because I have way too much of it. That's a reason to switch to Autos.
I could understand people wanting to get the biggest yield possible out of their plants, and maybe that's because they might be growing weed commercially or are a vendor to patients in need. In my case, it's just me enjoying it and my plants grow enough to last me for many months to come.
Did you know the price for an ounce of recreational high-quality marijuana in Southern Colorado is $379
My whole setup: $40 for my used 4x4x6.5 grow tent, $25 for my 2 bulb fluorescent light setup and $120 for my 1000W King Plug LED light, $10 for my intake fan, $6 for 7 2 gallon pots, $70 worth of Advanced Nutrients (I used zero nutrients in my last grow), $35 for Fox Farm + Light Warrior soil, $5 for my used light timer, $5 for my used humidifier and less than $20 per plant on water cost me a total of: $336 + maybe a $20 extra per month on my electricity bill, which is still $50 less than one ounce of marijuana here.
I do have to say that I'm grateful for your comment because if I ever decide to do this as more than a hobby, then I happily switch to those expensive pots along with buying a higher-end lighting system.
Thanks again @SillyAssWhiteDude
I agree...im not running the air pots but just got some fabric pots for way cheaper....ill probally still try to use my buckets as long as I can lol...im about quality too bro...and I did the same thing an invested about what I figure an ounce goes for here too...I enjoy growing autos because of the shorter life span and having a better variety...I think you can get a double pack of the pots pretty cheap without having to get 6 of them...sorry for the crappy link...I got some of the cloth air pots with handles that have deals built on for a SCROG for 15 bucks but they sent 5 gallon instead of 3 gal...but I saved money that way...I think ill use them to set some photos out in next spring...I will probably order two airpots for my indoor grow...we cant all have your troubles friend my last yield wasn't good enough to have any left..I sold an ounce to pay for seeds and one to get my money back out of my setup like lights and such...I think these marshydros I'm running aren't enough so I will probably have to do the same again to make some upgrades this time around too...but I'm confident that after my initial investment this is a hobby that can fully support itself and save me money by not having to buy smoke from people all the time...and I sell to my family...it saves them money too and they get quality...at half the price of your area...I know people look down on selling here but when it comes to saving my family money and them wanting to invest so I can get different seeds and such I don't feel bad about helping them...but it is nice to meet another grower with the same outlook as I have and enjoys growing as HOBBY and a means to save money...you've been in my follow list for awhile...much respect!!!
They are all flowering up so nicely! I can't wait to see them plump up in the coming days. Your training is really looking fantastic on all of your girls buddy, some real fantastic work!
@KonopCh, thanks bro. I already use a spray mist on the top of the soil, about twice a day. I also leave 2 small trays of water full in the empty areas of my tent. This usually is all evaporated by the time the lights shut off, so then I fill it again. Colorado is a very dry place, but I'm patient and the electricity is really cheap for the extra weeks these take to mature.
