******Week 5 Veg - Jan 6 to 12, 2020
This was a week of growth. She grew up and did very well with a couple of her side branches thickening up. She is a very healthy girl but she is not flipping. I wrestled with this weeks journal because I wanted to get it started to show her great growth but all along I was not sure if I call this week a flower week or not. In the end I waited and I am calling it a Veg week😥😥 She is not flipping......freaking wants to though by all signs.......I got a suspicion but I hope I am wrong......I don’t want to run two flower cycles!
IPM spray with Lost Coast Plant Therapy.......recent thrips experience and staying with a preventative cycle💀👻
Some branches are stiffening since the introduction for silica but others are still very pliable. The main stem is still very “bendy” and perfect for LST right now. Too soft for entering flower given the silica. Why?
She has handled the light intensity fine.....she has not been going to sleep early. She has handled the nutrients well given the amount being put in anticipating her switching and wanting the flower dosages.
She is beautiful little girl at first glance but she has some oddities in her growth......keeping the grow interesting she is young Skywalker😎 👍

Pictures all added 😀.....fought the website for network connections tonight😡.........update the comments tomorrow now👌........cheers!👏
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
