MephHeads (LST) organic

* MephHeads for 1st time, really excited about that.😁 * we're gonna try the LST technique. ~ Grow tent : 1m×1m×2m. ~ Soil : allmix biobizz 65% + Bioterra plus 25% + perite extra 10%. ~ Seedling soil : Bioterra plus ~ 6 plants { 3 Sstomper, 2 GWK n 1 SODK (5 days later) }. * Only tap water, co2 tablets, microorganisms and snake poison(foliar spray) until week 4. * No chemicals ✋🛑 only tap water. ● One stomper has issues and its already stressed ( we had to put more soil over it ).

* Just tap water PHd with the EMs. ~ We overwatered the stressed s stomper. ☆ Transplanted at day 9 after sprout ( except sodk). ~ Foliar sprayed with snake poison.

* Starting LST technique, adjusting every day: -Sour stomper #1 aggressive lst -GWK #1 aggressive lst * Just tap water, co2 tablet + EM microorganisms, overall looking really healthy. * SODK is 5 days later and the SS #3 is still stunned from rot. ° week temps: 20 c° ( few minutes/day) - 25 c°. °HR : over 70% average.

* Progressing the LST every day, working the canopy with defoliation where needed. * No food until day 28. * 25gr/plant organic dry NPK ( 6 - 3 - 18 + 3Mg0) mix 6 from DCM. ~》3 weeks after Transplanting... Will feed the plants one week after the first watering. ~Week 4~ * Drying period before waterings. * temps : 20 - 29c°.🔅 *HR : 55% - 70%. 💦 * Lights 20/24h/day. off --> (12:00-14:00) & (00:00-02:00) *No defficients or problems this week, even the stunted Stomper starting to develop.

* Cold temps early this week, lights 24/7 from day 31 to keep temps steadier (24-25c°). * GWK #2 leaves pointing down day 32-33 , cold soil and a little underwatered the next day. * Watering 700ml/pot with 6.5 ph, 19 c° temp tap water with, ~ Active vera (biobizz), EM microorganisms, co2 tablet. * Organic NPK to the others two ( Stomper #3, SODK day 33 ss, 28 day SODK. 25 gr/ pot. * Smells not something special yet, LST going good, we ll keep pushing it a few more days. ¤ 🌱Stomper #1 with aggresive LST starting day 14, not a good idea, small stretch so far, burn tips with no extra food maybe its light burn tip. ¤🌱 Stomper #2 starting LST week 3, more nods, bigger plant better performance for this style. ¤🌱 Stomper #3 the stressed one, no techniques here just a bit of defoliation.🤞 ▪️︎🌿GWK #1 starting LST day 14, good reaction, taller nods than stomper. ▪️︎ 🌿GWK #2 starting LST day 21,not a big difference with #1, great response,bit sensitive to cold temps ( 2 days to rehab). ☆ 🌴SODK with different style of leaves, more indica dominant, but lighter green colour, starting LST n defoliation day 21, probably will stay in tent alone more than a week.🤪 * Day 34 -> foliar spray with Acti-vera (biobizz) 2ml/l. * Not much stretch this week, maybe the cold temps at the beginning of the week or just the genetics, healthy plants till now, no defficients. 🔚 Last day of this week released the 4 of them (stomper #1,2 & GWK #1,2) from LST to get stretchy + second weeks 5 watering at 23c° with EMs and 0,5ml/l snake poison (boron + other minerals).1 🌱 Healthy leaves n buds progressinge except GWK #2 cause stress earlier this week. 💧1ltr each n 600ml for stomper #3. 1st watering with 700ml at day 32. 🍃Last update -----> Day 35 ✅

* Buds progressing good, no deficiencies except stomper #1 with burn tips , no stretch except stomper #3 the stressed one ( 👈 check week 3), SODK looking good 5 days later though. * LST stopped at day 35 ,🔅 lights still 24/7. Temps steady at 25 c° and humidity 50-60%. * Day 39 watering 1l /pot with active vera, EMs and co2 tablet. 🔅Lights 20h -> Days 38-39 Trying to control VPD, maybe 🤔 transpiration in the lasts weeks wasn't on good levels and missed some stretch.!? We ll try to understand what we missed or it's just the genetics under these circumstances! ⚠️ So Day 42 end of week 6, had low temps and high humidity later this week. As we cant check the grow tent all day except few hours per day we've missed some highs and lows of the temps and humidity but overall we were ok. After looking closely back in the dairy infos and the signs of the plants, the overall progress, our rich soil composition, early bloom phase etc, 🔜 We came out with some interesting thoughts to share with you about our meph heads organic try, stay tuned at the next update ( 1st update of week 7)⚠️ Last update--> Day 42 🔚

Day 45 --> Restart some light LST for the final weeks of Flowering. 🍇 Really intense aromas from stomper n GWK (like sour,sweet grape tannins). ⚠️ In this project we experimented with a super soil like mixture. Biobizz all mix was 65% of the mixture which 1/3 of it was placed on the bottom of the pot and the rest 2/3 was mixed with 35% Canna terra. About 10% perlite was added on the mix and it was sprayed with EM microorganisms (Soil activator). 🏁 The target is a tasty organic flower fed only with tap water and a slow release organic fertilizer(6-3-18) which being applied on the end of the 3rd week and, becomes available to the plants 7 days after. In our case which we transplanted on day 9, we used it on day 30(9+21) from seed. ℹ️ Facts Until the 3rd week plants were growing under LST with no problem (Day 17-19) was when preflower started). In the 4th week development slowed down and initially we though that was due to some drop of temp like midway veg in ➡️ (RQS fem induction). After days were passing and the development of the plants was not satisfying (even though the plants didn't show any symptoms of deficiency or environmental stress) we noticed shiny leaves and dark green colour starting from Stomper#1 which was the smallest plant and was the only one that had some visible burned tips on the leaves. GWK#2 was the only one that did not appear dark green colour or shiny leaves (like SS#1,#2 and GWK#1) but had drooping leaves without having overwatered her or noticing any issues.(Conditions on week 5 and 6 were a bit unstable as the weather got weird and we had high humidity and low temps). Reaching 7th week plant development continues to be average, stems of the most plants became dark red without having low temps inside the tent even though plants look a bit better after they were let to dry a bit more. 🔬 Symptoms 1)Dark shiny leaves 2)Slow growth 3)burn tips 4)Drooping leaves 5) Dark Red stems Matching the pieces of the puzzle we assume that we had NITROGEN TOXICITY and knowing that we do not use any liquid fertilizers it seems that our problem was that our super soil was too "hot" for our baby mephs. If our rooting system of our plants reached the final layer of soil( Biobizz all mix on the bottom of the pot) in the 4th week, it was when it had the highest availability of nitrogen. Availability that seem to be "too hot" for Sour stomper and Grape walker kush in early Flowering. Also in the last weeks we had cold weather so we had an electrical heater on increasing the temp of the room which led to higher temp and transpiration inside the tent.That being said it is likely that due to higher transpiration our plants let higher amount of N to enter the plant and that forced the plants to show us signs of it's toxicity. For a start we let the pots dry to reduce the nitrogen availability and then in Day 45 we water with 6,5 ph tap water + EM microorganisms (700ml each pot). ℹ️ Day 48 : Ideal humidity + temps and the plants have started to drink and eat a lot better the last days. After the second water (700ml) of the week yesterday (D47) with microorganisms only, we find the first signs of deficiency on Sour stomper #2 today. We were expecting this cause our dry fert has only (6-3-18) --> 3 phosphorus (slow release), so our leaves look like having phosphorus and calcium deficiency, we are thinking that the roots locked calcium too with the deficiency of P as these too are collaborating. - So we are going to feed all the plants with organic liquid fert. from Plagron - green sensation PK (9-10) starting with stomper#2. * Every plant in tent has its private watering schedule as the maturity and needs, have changed over the last week. - If the problem continues we'll consider a cal mag solution. * Will be appreciated any comments or same experiences!! Last updated --> Day 49 end of the week.

* All plants had one feed last week with some PK soluble ( SODK one more feed this week). The rest of waterings are tap water with some microorganisms in. * No new deficiencies spotted (except stomper#1 & 2 from last week), PK gives us the last boost. * Buds progressing well with a lot of crystals, smells are medium and so glad about that, promising though after curing properly. * Lights at 35k - 40k Lux. * humidity 45% - 60%, temps 20C° - 25C°. * D53 --> Fixing the canopy with a bit more aggressive LST to all the plants, except the main stem of stomper #3 (the stressed one). * D56 -> Final day of week 8 and the most mature plant is the stomper#1 (the plant with the early LST and most affected by N toxicity in early stage. - Trichomes are looking like 10 days before harvest, letting the other 5 plants enjoy more light. Week 8 --> finished ✅

- Day 62 and the 4 of the mephs are with some amber crystals already ( Stomper#1,#2 & GWK#1,#2), - Stomper #3 (D62) and SODK (D57) are a few weeks behind. - Stomper and GWK produced a light>medium bud structure (tap water only🚿) with full of crystals 💎 (pretty cool for an auto with little effort), not yielders (soil organic) thought but with buds to make diamond rings. - SODK looking more like a yielder from these 3 strains with more compact buds and indica structure. - Humidity a little higher than the optimum this week, except Stomper#3 & SODK we didn't water the plants too much and we had some dry periods in the medium. - Made a final defoliation before harvest (4), we will dry the buds in a dry machine (as the Root66 dairy 👀) and make the rest trimming before curing. 🔕 Smells were super stealth until now, no problem at all and the buds looking and smelling dense when touching and checking them. ⚠️ Next update --> next week with the first part of the meph harvest 🤯.

✂️ - The S. Stompers #1-2 & GWKs #1-2 harvested at Day 67 from sprout (mixed crystals). - Buds in the dryer for 3 and a half days, then dry trimming. - Room temps 24-25C° / hum 55%. - SODK and Stomper #3 (stunned) are gonna harvest together (part 2) after 2 weeks. * SODK started to drink all the nuts and fade out nicely. - ⚠️ Start to update harvests 🔜 next week with the Sour stomper..! 📸 Sneaky pic from harvest (part 1). ☝️😎

Fast drying method with dehumidifier at 21C° for 3 days and dry trimming, even the sugar leaves are smokable and full with amber crystals, no harshness at all. District odours.

Same harvest and dry conditions as the sour stompers.

Drying and curing process as the rest plants in the tent.
