Finally starting the see the growth rate I would expect from this strain in the setup, I will be changing out the res today, upping the nutes and swapping from the 50w led to the 418w, hoping to get another full week of growth before any signs of flower.
Day 32 and let the stretch begin, haven't done an update in the last week as it was just tying and shaping, now lst-ing is finished I will just let it do its thing,
Plant is still stretching which I'm glad about, hopefully will get a few more inches until full flower commences. Overall happy with thIs strain so far, has been real easy to grow and hopefully will yield well also.
Plant is starting to explode, can now see definitive growth every day. Have dropped the ppm back to 700 as that seems to be the sweet spot, at 800 it was raising daily.
Day 50 and enjoying the growth, in the last 3 days this things going crazy, I refilled the res set to 900 ppm with bub candy added and by the next day over a litre was gone and the ppm dropped to 780 so i have just redone the res again at 1000ppm, also just started to add some cal mag as our eagle-eyed viewers will notice a Cal deficiency sprung up 3 days ago when the growth started to explode
This plant is truly living up to every expectation I ever had, a big thanks to the likes of @TaNg and @Tenacious_Trichomes without your amazing diaries I wouldn't have chosen this strain, also can't wait to see how @BigDaddyK gets on with this one. The buds are thickening nicely, stink is starting to increase every day, can't wait to see the calyx's swell and pack the weight on.
The moment we have all been waiting for, I have just done the first trim and bent all the main colas down to allow the bottom buds a chance to swell during the flush, this strain is phenomenal and without doubt the best I have ever grown, Guess the weight, I think there will be around 130g.
Really easy to grow strain, good size, vigorous growth and heavy dense buds, however the reason I picked this strain is for the smell reviews and mine has little to no smell when dry, but for some reason I am never able to produce stinking bud I just don't know what I do wrong, If any experts wanna chime in on this please do as this is my 7th grow of different strains and have never had a plant that stinks when dry?? Unsure of taste as I am yet to smoke any as its still curing atm, really hope some smell will come out.
Thanks for the commemts chaps, Yh that's the assumption I made also, I think I will use the root riots next time, I have seen them dry out a lot faster than grodan, I just thought as I have 4 air stones in one bucket it would be OK but I Guess the bubbles are able to penetrate the cube, I just hope it sets the growth back and it doesn't start flowering in the next week.
@Auto_King,can you post a picture of the bucket ? Is it home made or shop bought ? I didn't have much time before , but do the netpots touch the water ? I DWC and there can be a few issues if the roots don't have a little space before they hit the water .
I had grown two White Trains among three that stinked pretty hard! Even a g stinks up cars easily ^^ Mephisto genetics has some great smelling strains, most of them are avarage tho. Those crossed with Fantasmo Express might produce some sweet flavours. What I want to say is, the reason you are not getting enough flavours cannot always be contributed to your techniques... I had grown 6 Mephisto's, two of them really stinks as I stated. Others are pretty avarage, not unique in any terms...
EDIT: OH WHY DO YOU USE THE FJGKIN BUD CANDY??!? That's what gives the buds the same, awful aroma and might block all the good flavors your plants may or may not produce... You can not know this if you are not familiar with the strain... I used it once when i first began growing and i hated their aroma... all pretty much same. later i received some buds from a grower who used the same product. same awful aroma and flavours... :( its just sad.
@Auto_King, what kind of water do you use? Try using less nutrientd and better quality water (ro preferably). You might try coco with canna nutrients. I got really awesome results with canna as for taste and smell. Some i didnt even flush, no smell of nutes and they had pretty good aroma and taste.
@Kvothe,
Thanks for your comments, first time with mephisto and first time using bud candy, for the exact reason I am failing at, I was hoping it would bring the smell out but as before to no avail, really pissing me off, I just want some Stinky buds.
@Auto_King, I always find with fruity variety can take a bit longer to get that pungent smell I am looking for , do you use humidity packs in curing jars ?
@Auto_King, damn that's a shame dude your skills deserve more, loving that lst you did, how you drying as I heard if you use the paper bag method it locks in the smell and flavour so I'm going to give that a try for my first time
@biggreens420,
Slow dry for around 6 days, when it's crispy on the outside I seal it in a jar for 24 hours which draws the moisture out of the stalk, then 24 hours out again then back into jars for curing, have only ever cured for around 3 weeks max as its gone by then, u know how it is supply and Demand
@Metalhead_Literally,
Thank my man, Yh it is crazy, you don't notice as much when you look every day, but when you look back at photos you realise the rate of growth is astonishing.
@@Tryhard,
Many thanks my man, Yh this is All experimental atm, as long as I get at least 2 zips off this one I will be happy, already no a few things to do next time to prevent slow veg growth, and increase overall size.
@BigDaddyK,
Buckets are home made, just 10l Food grade buckets with a 6" net pot, ppm may not be correct as my meter was giving sporadic readings therefore its been chucked and now waiting for new one to arrive, yes your thinking is correct, there is a 2cm gap between the water and net pot however the cube was sat right at the bottom meaning it was saturated, now have around 8cm from water to cube.
