Hey Everyone!
I am back with another grow after losing my last crop of GDP to spider mites ๐ and I am excited to be using some Mephisto gear finally. I have heard good things about their genetics locally where I am at and watched some of the plants grown out on here and I have been really impressed. I am also super psyched to be running some limited edition Illuminauto strains and getting more into autos which I am just loving. Depending on how this goes I may just move to a perpetual auto grow in here running 3 at a time and overlapping them by about 2 weeks or so.
Grow Specs:
Strain: Blue Toof
Breeder: Mephisto Genetics
Number of Plants: 3
Tent: 48" x 36" x 70" LA Garden 2 in 1 tent (no middle panel used)
Pots: 5 Gal Equivalent Air Pot
Medium: non-ammended Roots Organic Soil
Nutes: Please always see picture for actual nute dosages
Lights: Each plant has a 300W (132W actual) Galaxy Hydro LED overhead. Will turn on 4th light once we are in flower.
Water: Reverse osmosis 2-5 ppms
Update schedule: I will try to send out the updates every Saturday or Sunday.
Grow Schedule to Date:
Germination: 7/30/17
Germination Success Rate: 100% (Thanks Mephisto ๐)
Planted into soil (final container): 8/2/17
BT#1 Sprout - 8/3 - 9 days old as of 8/11/17
BT#2 Sprout - 8/4 - 8 days as of 8/11/17
BT#3 Sprout - 8/4 - 8 days as of 8/11/17
Bonus: I recently built a drain to waste table for indoor growing but it ate up too much vertical space (16" of my 70" total) so I removed it from the garden. I tried to kind of show my process in the pictures but if you want me details let me know. It works perfectly and I will use it for sure when I get a taller tent room.
Thanks for stopping by and happy growing out there!
@CaciqueCayacoa,
My bad dude. Hard to tell tone on these things. I should have given you the benefit of the doubt. I just hated the idea of leaving it open haha. Something about it. Happy growing to you good luck man.
@Grimbol, Probably a closing without harvest is needed but adding a harvest with no actual harvest is pretty deceiving, specially on the rating, that affects the strain and the breeder overall rankings.
My bad if I sounded bitter but rather than rating it, you should have left it as it is. Instead of being aggressive I was being ironic on the action itself because you rated it just to say you cannot rate it. happy growing!
@CaciqueCayacoa,
Grow diaries does not allow you to close a diary without a harvest and rating. I explained it very thoroughly in my notes and did not give it bad ratings and gave it the third highest marks so that it wouldn't influence much on the site. I explained what I was able to observe and left it at that.
Do you have a better idea how to handle the situation or just passive aggressive comments?
I've seen things like this before personally.
The yellowing of the inside portion of the leaves looks like iron deficiency could have been from lockout.
The leaves wilting like that looks like under watering the way the leaves look like they are drying out looks identical to the plant I had issues with, I drenched the pot watered it so there was loads on run off then sprayed with a CalMag solution the whole plant. It bounced back and was fine after.
If I could link pics I would.
With those air pots I think the best thing to do is soak the medium leave it for a few days before you plant any seedling in it. If you don't water properly you can get canals of wet patches and dry patches where the roots will die because they aren't getting any water. I could be totally wrong of course but looks suspiciously like the issues I had once. Good luck on next grow, peace ๐๐ผ
@PharmaZ,
Thanks man. Much appreciated. Yeah I have heard only good things about Mephisto and I am pretty set on switching over to autos so they seemed to be a great option. So I haven't told anyone on here yet but I germinated 4 seeds about 3 days ago. I popped 2 Gold Glue and 2 Northern Cheese Haze x Sour Hound. That journal should come out this coming weekend. Cheers man.
@Grimbol, No problem at all pal, I would've liked to see you turn it around :( Interested in Mephisto strains so I hope to see you grow another, if you do pm me to let me know when you start and I will follow you gladly, peace dude๐๐ผ
@PharmaZ,
Thanks for the detailed advice man much appreciated. PH has been pretty stable though around 6-6.5 and the speed of the onset made me think it was the sprayer. I actually chucked them all already unfortunately. I know I was only in veg but if there was even a chance of that toxic stuff being in the plant or flowers I won't risk it. Just not worth it to me. Thank you for the helpful advice man. I will remember it. Happy growing.
