First Grow with Mephisto Autos

Creme de la Chem: Well, I got sick of her unruly jungle nature which led to my just hacking away all of the tangled underbrush which included a bunch of early nodes. Even with this drastic step, and an effort to super crop and tie down what I left alive, she's still right back into the lights. She's been stretching from day one without any quit. At this point, I'm just resigned to her growing in the light, and I'm just trying to keep an eye out for any male flowers from all of the stress. If I get anything smokable from her, I'll consider it a success :(. Super Orange Haze: Based on what happened to her sister, I think accidentally topping her back in week 8 may have saved her life. She looks great to this amateur's eyes. Every day, her flowers get thicker and stack up more. She has trichomes everywhere, and continues to pop out new pistils. Some pistils are going orange, but no sign of amber trichs yet. I'm trying to decide when to start flushing her. I saw a diary posted to a forum that had her harvest around day 90, and I've seen some that have her harvesting around day 70. So, I think if I want to do a full week of flush and then a few days of darkness, I can start that process on day 70 (4 days from now) and have it get done right around in the middle of the known harvest range. I can shave off the dark days if I need to speed things up, and I can hold off on them if I need to slow things down.
