*******Week 4 Veg - Dec 30/19 to Jan 6/20
She started preflower this week. Pistols coming out and top node growth is funny.
This girl took off with side branch growth this week. She didn’t get a lot taller but finally seeing some longer side branches.
Jan 3rd started LST on branches. Not able to do too much with them not being long and the fan leaves on the node above getting in the way. Twisted slightly and pulled over, followed the same pattern on both side to keep even. Not comfortable bending the top at all.......not enough time for her to recover and give three or four tops....she will have one main cola.
She is a very pretty girl and she has nice structure. She has been pretty resilient with nutrients as well. Runoff water came back a little high on Jan 3 with 1250ppm and a high 6.3pH.....given what I have been giving her. Keep up the 5.8pH for now until she is roughly 6.0 in the soil and will let her pH slowly climb over the next week.
Silica is a big additive this week. The girls always seem to take off more vertically after the introduction of Silica. So far this girl is no different and you can also start to feel the stiffening of the branches as she uptakes the nutrient. This will stay part of the routine for a couple of weeks now. Also will continue with Sensizym now for a while as well to keep the roots clean and some more beneficial enzymes in her.
I have not worked with Terpinator before and since I am trying a new line from Green Planet I thought I would work with this as well. Anything that will help increase terpenes is worth a try once. They are suggesting a fair bit at 4ml/L all the way through. Will start off slower. I have been a fan of Bud Factor X and it has worked well for me in past grows. Expensive though and wanting to move away from AN more.
Rezin is introduced this week as well. See if the acids will help pull some further flavor profiles. Relatively new product from Green Planet and tough to find some first hand experience so we will give her a run. Will also give LW8 a try for the sweeteners.....don't feel like fooling with molasses this run.
That's one big ol fat lady! Nice work. Looks happy and healthy. Mephistos always grow some awesome plants. Keep doing what your doing and best of luck moving forward growmie
@PrairieFrostGrow, definetly gonna be a old lady by the time shes done. If at any point you have problems with buds getting to heavy for branches you could always use bamboo steaks for support or I like to use ratchet hangers
@Denzul,thanks for the share! Being honest though not sure what is going to happen over the next few weeks.....I certainly hope she slows down on growing branches and focuses on bud sites😀 Her branches are thin, about 4 good size sides but the others are smaller. She keeps growing though and stiffening up as well.......as long as she thinks she can hold the weight maybe the harvest won’t be too bad........could be a long run though.....see 84+ days😕😕 time will tell. Thanks again!
@Zzgrowguy,Thanks for the comment.....she has certainly been easy to stare at😂
Your Purple is looking great.......she went straight up on you😀👍
Happy growing!
@Buddo,Thanks eh!!😃
Nothing small in your Mephisto grow!!!! The girls are looking lovely and should reward you handsomely👍
May you buds be big and fat🙏
@BladeCutter, that is a good question right now. Fed full strength yesterday on day 59 and water today, day 60. Her hairs still pointing up however thin. Not that many red yet but a couple of bud have a number of very prominent ones. She has been slow developing all the way through but she feels like she has been picking up speed with ripening this past week.
Hmmmmmmm........She has to have another 14 days in her but I don’t think another 24, as I once did. I am suspecting I should she be oaky going to a minimum 75 days. Then it will be up to her frost development😳😳👍 Checked her runoff today and it was 1050ppm and 6.05pH.
I think I am done feeding at day 59........but day 61 hasn’t come yet😏😉
You are right, she's a good looking girl but seems slow to flower. I expect she will throw you a coming-out party soon and you will be amazed at her beauty.
@BladeCutter, Happy Weekend To You!!! Thanks for the vote of reassurance.....
You appear to be correct. Will be finishing the details in this week today and then add this week in because she did start to set buds the last two days. I switched her into the T5 veg tent and son-of-a-B if she didn't perk right up again and buds started to form!!! New question now is what does she truly want for light??
Freak'in love this plant and hobby🙏👍 Hope your buds are DANK!
Nice work.
You are feeding terpene much earlier than I do.
But I feed my plants up to the last week. Very different conditions though.
Happy growing l.
Shiiit, that looks crazy! Good job man.
I wish mine was that big. But I’m just starting out with autos and a new medium (Promix HP) and having a hard time trying to dial in the green planet dual fuel and watering schedule. Also starting to think 5gal smart pots are a bit to big for me lol
