Week 9 .......... Flower Week.........June 6 to 12, 2020 ........ Days 57 to 63 from germination She bulked up more this week and buds are swelling. She has reacted well with Massive and has increased her nodal spacing. Now she needs to work on bulking up more and filling in that spacing😀👍 Switched to Advance Nutrients Overdrive for the PK booster this week.......didn’t realize how much i still have of this and Big Bud so I brought them back into the grow this run😁 Overdrive is a great product, just been trying out a different line last two runs. As you can tell I like to use the supplements😂😂 and it gets a little pricey with the Advanced line. They have some killer products though with Piranha, Tarantula, Voodoo, Sensyzime, Bud Factor X, Overdrive for example. A little more leaf strip at the end of the week to let more light into the middle of her. Focused on the leaves on the inside of her and left a number of the fan leaves on the perimeter of her to help with sugar production. Starting to see some possible nutrient issues forming as she is aging and some of her leaf tips are starting to curl down a bit. There will also be some wind stress on this girls main stem. Red hairs have started so we should be less than three weeks to go and guess at roughly 2 weeks to go. Will be feeding next week but that might be the end......see what the week brings. Hope she will run another three weeks allowing her to fatten up.....hairs are still large and lot are still very white......time will tell🤞👍 Environment has been hovering at 79 degrees and 61 percent humidity for most of the week. Yeast and sugar CO2 in use. Still feel there is going to be trade off battling the pH issues of the pots by feeding her 4.4 water and feed. I have to keep it that low to have a runoff of 6.6pH🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪 Going to start letting the pH drift higher the next couple of days though and give a couple of waterings at 5.6 to ensure she is taking up enough phosphorus and potassium. Now to just ramble........this girl is freaking awesome!! She is the one that captures all my attention right now. Her frost levels are ridiculous for 9 weeks on an auto, in my experience🤩😃🤩 She is certainly at photo period levels compared to girls I have grown and with hopefully at least a couple of weeks still to go to improve.......DAMN!!! The Skywalker I have run from Mephisto were also crazy good for frost levels. Her buds are stacking up gorgeous and getting thicker. Still a lot of long thick white hairs so hope she takes her time and fattens up and not just starts drying and hardening up.......not yet anyway🤞 Her side branches are producing long thick colas and make you instantly smile thinking about possible yields😉🤞 She is one of the nicest plants I have ever grown! The resistance is crazy good as she battles though this high pH crap I have thrown her into. Believe it was an issue with too much Magnesium too early and the fabric from the pots. To battle that I have been hitting her and Killer Kush with heavy watering/feeding everyday at 4.4 ph!!!!!!. runoff from that is 6.7 a day later. As time passes after the feeding the pH is drifting up......heave feed to pull it back down🤪🤪🤪 She has been powering through this and growing very nice at 28” tall......perfect!!! So happy I have 5 more seeds of her. Awesome work Mephisto!!!!! Little more detail: June 6, Day 57 June 7, Day 58 June 8, Day 59 June 9, Day 60 June 10, Day 61 June 11, Day 62 June 12, Day 63 Yeah......its coming......😃😉

@PrairieFrostGrow, 😀😀😀😀😅 Mother Nature is difficult to deal with at the moment. Need to hunker down until fall - that is my season.

@Med_in_Tropic,Hello Med!!!! Thanks for the message.....that means a lot to see a friendly comment :) There has certainly been lots of distraction around here so its nice to get back to some time with the community and our beautiful girls:) I see you have been as busy as always with your many projects the last month! It will take some time to get caught up again :) Cheers Med and hope Mother Nature is spreading the love on your girls!

Great to see someone else tracking VPD. It's tough to get a handle on. What tool are you using to calculate VPD? I have one calculator on my Android phone and a couple of Excel spreadsheets that I use. I've now managed and tracked it essentially through the entire lifecycle. The recommended ranges that I've seen are as follows: Propagation/Early Vegetative Growth - Low Transpiration: 0.4-0.8 Late Veg/Early Flower - Healthy Transpiration: 0.8-1.2 Mid/Late Flower - High Transpiration: 1.2-1.6 With an air temp of 79F and assuming a leaf temperature of 77F then you would need to raise the RH to 75% to get to a VPD of 0.63. Getting a stable VPD is tough. I use an external thermometer and humidity gauge. That gives me a glance at the conditions before opening the grow space or tent. Just opening the door changes everything for a bit. I use a regular "laser thermometer" to measure the leaf temp. I just average the readings in my head, nothing special. What is your process for measuring the factors and calculating VPD? Good luck with the grow. She young with plenty of time to recover.

@PrairieFrostGrow, more than "guessing" a humidity range, I really urge you to get a laser thermometer (like this one on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3ggGNGF. Not recommending this one, just an example.) This will really let you calculate the VPD. I haven't slept well for a number of weeks, so I found myself checking the plants nearly around the clock. I too noticed how humidity spikes during the dark cycle, but I didn't worry about it! That's exactly what happens in nature. Sun goes down, humidity comes up. Once you are happy with the daytime results, then you might want to consider doing something different in the dark. Also, you might go to 20/4 schedule. It works well with and you have a shorter dark period. Good luck 🍀🌠with the grow.

@BladeCutter,Thanks for dropping the comment Bud. Keeping an eye on VPD this run but also just learning more about the high humidity and how my environment reacts to it. Have found that pulling the humidity back down in the evenings a challenge with running it so high for 18 hours of the day. I really noticed how in Veg they loved the humidity at the 70% range........hitting that 1.0kpa range and the leaves were up and perky! Keeping an eye on them through Flower and see how they react to the 60 to 65% range.......again, I am finding it tough to bring humidity back down the 40% range for 6 hours while they are sleeping and transpiring. Have a dehumidifier and working with the settings to dial it in for a better understanding next run. Controllers are a must for temp and humidity when trying to keep the VPD dialed in.........I should have invested in ones that allow you set a different daytime vs nighttime numbers though as I change the settings manually twice a day everyday. Cheers Growmie and thanks again!!

I have a SnS at day 10 and she looks like the mirror image of yours at this stage. I too was wondering if I was heavy handed with something because she does not seem to be as lively as the other plants I have growing.
Shielded77

@PrairieFrostGrow, she is looking great. I am a bit concerned as I just fed her epsom salts for the first time yesterday. I will monitor for signs of any issues. Otherwise this is one resilient plant. She took some abuse with my heavy handed LST and even being dumped on her head. You are absolutely right, a lot to be learned from this grow. Thank you for the update. Looking forward to more.

@Shielded77,my issues have been around pH personally. Narrowed it down to either an early feed with too much Epsom Salts and/or cheap fabric pots. Flushed her fairly hard early on and she is coming back now. This pheno seems to have taken the high pH well. Hovering around 7.1 in coco and just couldn't bring it down slowly........lost a week and a half in veg and then finally flushed her. See you have not been without your challenges either........good luck on the rest of the grow and by not culling her you will continue to learn more about this awesome plant:) Cheers growmie!!

@JinksyGrows,Hey Jinks......Thanks Bud!!! Still have not opened up the tent yet today to see how they did in the darkness. I stole the hole idea from @Med_in_Tropic because I loved his fork idea from one of his last runs.......love it Med!! Cheers Growmie.......your visits are always appreciated!

Thanks @toyahgerool, I have had good luck with frost level on plants from Mephisto! I wish an home grower could take a sample in for testing somewhere that is discrete and cheap😞 maybe one day😇 I freaking love your stuffy Bud!!!!!!!!

👌Nice harvest! Got a plant now which is exactly the same height, but at week 8, and grows similarly when it comes to the timeline. Hope to finish with the yield at least a bit close to yours. Great job!
