Double Grape x 3 Bears OG

This is the first week of the mephisto genetics Freebie I got . The parents are Double grape x 3 Bears OG. I’m really excited to see how this one develops . The double grape and the 3 bears og diaries I have seen have been really good and I’m excited that I have this one crossed to each other . As for the growing side of it ,I don’t want to stunt her. So I’m lightly watering her when it’s dry and just making sure it’s not too hot or too cold and that there is air circulation I’m basically just letting it do her thing . This is an all organic grow no chemicals no ph-ing aslong as my water source is neutral ph. This is recycled super soil , I’ve gone through this soil for 3 grows now and has been reamended with different kinds of organic matter and organic amendments And worms teas,the soil is very alive with equal amounts of beneficial microbes and fungi.

This week all I was doing is just making sure the soil wasn’t bone dry and that is was moist and just giving a little water here and there and watching it absorb the water until dry so I can water it again .. and keeping track how much water it’s starting to drink I’m also keeping the rest of the medium moist so the microbes are happy so far it looks happy not stunted and has been doing her thing . On day 12 I did notice a lot of little gnats swarming my tent and were on my soil so I got rid of them I replaced the top soil with new Soil and worm castings and I have a fan blowing over the medium to get back at them .

She has new growth everyday I see her. Her leaves grow 2x as fast everyday I think she right on track if not 5 days early for the growth level she’s in and hopefully she’s big enough to start lst-ing and exposing her to more light once I see more of the node branches get bigger I can start leaf tucking and bending her back. looks like I’m going to start training her maybe I’m the middle of the 4th week and prepare for the stretch phase and get those branches out of the leaf traps that block light from the bud sites. She’s also starting to show sex so I see little hairs telling me it’s about to get into flowering soon

So I’m starting this week out by starting her out on some low stress training and I mean lowwWW . I could of done it last week in week 3 but I felt she wasn’t ready and decided it’s best to Simply leave her alone and continue to grow more . I know that this week her roots are going to be exploring a little more and she’s drinking more shes a thirsty ass H*E so I’m watering more around her and not the middle of her stalk . I don’t water to runoff! Sometimes a little water does comes out but a very minuscule amount but I stop at that point reason is because I don’t want important nutrients or beneficial microbes to be washed out . But this is organic not hydro

Well here we are week 5 now normally this would be considered the first week of flower, however based on my observations I considered this to be basically the last week of veg and first week of flower all at the same time ! Then week 6 she will be more on the flowering side and will stretch more and flower harder and I mean H.A.M(based on mephisto strain guide details). In other words Im Lst-ing her more to start spreading her out and creating my flat even canopy design I’m also doing more strategic leaf tucking to expose more light and air to the bud sites. I still haven’t topped her, fimd her or cut any of her leaves off she still has her dried up cotelydon leaves intact . She’s doing well. Last time I grew an auto flower I broke the main cola when I bent her down. She was good but I felt like she needed more and that’s where it broke :( so lesson learned I’m being extra gentle even when I move her around I’m treating her as if she was an infant .
