13th Feb - Ok everyone this diary started as a FastBuds - Blackberry, but it's now a Mephisto love triangle. I will split the diaries at the end if any of them are worthy for recognition.
Mephisto as a breeder has been at the top of my list for over 2 years now.
I'm really happy to be able to finally run some of their strains. Although it's a real pitty I can't run the FastBuds - Blackberry I'm happy with the selection I have ready to go.
_____________________________
14th Feb - All 3 seeds soaked for 24hr in water, then planted in moistened soil with low concentration of Canna Rhizotonic.
_____________________________
16th Feb - Came home from work today had a peak in my tent, shock horror.. I saw a root sticking straight out of the soil (SKYWALKER). I carefully turned her around seed husk fell off in my hand and I was very gentle. I then carefully inspected the other 2 to see if I had buried them too deep. CHEM CITY BLUES seed was ok. The SOUR CRACK had no taproot showing when I planted her so I expect her to be a day behind.
_____________________________
17th Feb Day 1 - SOUR CRACK and CHEM CITY BLUES are all good, both above soil on there way, SKYWALKER however is just looking weak, she was the one that up rooted herself. Il give her another day or 2.
_____________________________
19th Feb Day 3 - Skywalker shriveled up and died, I'm still adjusting to my new setup. I didn't use to have to drench the pot before planting seedlings as it would take 10 days to dry for the first time. Now with my tent and HPS it will dry in a st without a plant in it.
Purley my error on this one. Any how I have a HEISENBERG seed going in tomorrow to make up for the SKYWALKER I lost. RIP
_____________________________
23rd Feb Day 7 - Heisenberg seed hasn't even shown a tap root. Good genetics and good storage method usually show tap root within 24-48 hours. Not a happy camper.
_____________________________
_____________________________
24th Feb Day 8ish - Not happy with myself at the moment. I lost my Skywalker, after she uprooted herself. I tried to germinate the free Mephisto - HEISENBERG seed I got and failed. I did everything carefully, and how I have successfully done it in the past with no issues. The seed didn't even show a rap root after 3 days. Kept it warm and moist, I give up with it. Will give them a good feed tomorrow.
_____________________________
26th Feb Day 10 - 💧Watered with a litre each as they are still small, they had the feed that's above in the nutrient section. Looking healthy as it is. Il wait till they're a week older and start feeding the veg nutes.
_____________________________
28th Feb Day 12 - things are coming along slower than I'd hoped but they look to be ok. Sour crack seems small even looking at other peoples sour crack it always looks like it's starts slow. Chem City Blues is picking up, should be able to LST next week sometime. I'm going to keep the abuse to a minimum with these girls
Water tomorrow or day after✌️🏻️
_____________________________
March 2nd Day 14 - 💧Watered -Sour crack going to be a small plant. Chem City Blues has leaf issues. I've seen what looks like this before, a good watering with nutes helped last time
_____________________________
3rd March Day 15 - sour crack is sloww, Chem city blues stretching out nicely. I think the when I planted it turned itself around I'll attach a drawing of what I mean.
_____________________________
4th March Day 16 - 💧Watered
_____________________________
6th March Day 18 - Sour crack showing preflowers she is so small i was waiting till she grew more to do some LST, now she's got some hairs I'm considering just doing some leaf tucking, I'm torn...
No Preflowers on Chem city Blues, she's had a single LST bend and some leaf tucking. Looks like she will have some nice branching👍🏼
Next water, plain water.
_____________________________
7th March Day 19 - 💧Watered with
AN B-52 0.5/L
AN CalMag 0.5/L
AN Voodoo Juice 0.5/L
Both lady's pre-flowering
_____________________________
8th March Day 20 - LST'd the CCB and sour crack, although the sour crack is small she looks like she has a lot to give👍🏼
_____________________________
9th March Day 21 - FML!! Chem City Blues is a herm. She has both male and female parts. Chopped her balls off there were 4
She also has female parts. If anymore grow she's gone, death by blowtorch! Not going to Mary's Seeds anymore, bought 3 Mephistos in singles, 1 didn't germinate, Skywalker died shortly after planting, Chem city blues hermie... Sour crack on the other hand is a Fem for sure, but isn't lucky to get 7g. Are they even Mephisto seeds I wonder, wouldn't expect this trash for $15 a seed. On the bright side I still have lots of RQS autos to germ if I lose the CCB il pop 2 Royal Jack Autos in.
9th March Day 22 - CCB Probably a herm, waiting on any more male parts to show and she's gone. Fed a flower feed for both plants as they are both showing sex signs and I'd rather see what's happening with the CCB. Did some LST on the Sour Crack
_____________________________
11th March Day 24 - CCB has till the end of this week. I've looked everywhere on every visible branch. I'm waiting to see her develop any more male parts of she does she is gone. I suppose I'm holding on to a lost hope. She has nice development and would be a lovely plant. Can't run the risk of he polluting the tent. Really unhappy with the Mephisto seeds I received. Out of the 4 I had I'm down to 1. Im pretty successful with germinating. I haven't given the "it" any major stress. Aside from LST "it" had an easy life. It's decided, germinating Royal Jack burning the Chem City Blues.
17th March Day 30 - 💧Watered, drenched pot.
_____________________________
19th March Day 32 - If anyone actually reads this diary and your wondering why there is a he-she in the tent I'll tell you... currently I inspect her/it multiple times daily. As far as I can see no more balls developed. I plucked the preflowers that look like balls you can see in week 3 or 4. Anyway, it's growing well and I guess if she throws anymore il chop her early. It's been long enough with no more showing I feel more confident. As for the sour crack it's a very small plant that doesn't like N at all. I guess it could be the pheno, judging by the othe plants I've seen, again they generally are short from what I've seen but I could be wrong, nothing really to go off on here because hardly any grows of it. Long update✌️🏻️
_____________________________
March 22nd Day 35 - sprayed some B-52 solution on the leaves of all plants. Waiting for the CCB to completely dry out in her pot then I'll pump in some bloom nutes, with a big watering.
March 23rd Day 36. -💧Watered the CCB with above nutes
SOUR CRACK - cutting out all N from above feed and will reduce base bloom nutes.
_____________________________
March 25th - Day 38 - 💧 Watered SOUR CRACK today, she was really dry in the pot:
Silicon Max - 1ml/L
B-52 - 1ml/L
Canna terra Flores - 1ml/L
Big Bud - 1ml/L
Pk13/14 - 0.5ml/L
_____________________________
March 28th day 41 - 1am CCB broken branches due to fitting a new carbon filter. I didn't want to take my plants out because of the stench. We sometimes learn the hard way.
Things were just looking up with this plant she stretched nicley bud sites are all spaced nicely. Ended up loosing the main cola plus 1 secondry. I'd say that would amount to at least 1/4 of the total final yeild✌️🏻️
_____________________________
March 29th Day 42 - Sour Crack a happy camper. CCB looks like she's throwing new leaves after losing her main branch. Not a good sign, I plucked blatant balls off her weeks ago. This plant is frying my head🖕🏻
March 30th Day 43 - 💧watered both plants. Next feed will be after a flush.
_____________________________
March 31st Day 44 - ❗ spilt a little veg nutrient solution for another plant on a bud and a few leaves on the Sour Crack. Sprayed with distilled water Epsom salts and gentle soap to clean off any of the solution.
_____________________________
April 2nd Day 46 - moving the CCB around grabbed one of her branches to have a look where there was some damage.. it made a crack right at the base. I've talked shit about this plant for a while now. But I now pray that she pulls through.😬
_____________________________
April 3rd Day 47 - 1:30am 💧Pots were light but soil on top was still a little damp when I watered. I had work today so I watered before bed. Everything looking fine, if anything many more trichomes popped up on each plant. Fed below nutrients to 8L water:
5ml Vitalink silicon max
8ml ANB52
5ml Canna Rhizotonic
4ml Canna Terra Vega
18ml Canna Terra Flores
5ml Canna Pk13/14
8ml AN big bud
10ml AN cal mag
850ppm
April 5th Day 49 - This time it's all about the CCB: the story is, I dropped the carbon filter when replacing old one for a larger Rhino Pro filter. It landed directly on the main branch of my Chem City Blues plant, and Royal Jack.
A good while back around week 3🤔The CCB was preflowering, I found some balls growing so I plucked them and closely observed for hours each day just encase she grew any more. I've seen pictures of ball like pistils but these didn't have any hairs protruding. She didn't produce anymore. If you look at the branches you can see the damage, then look at the buds. Looks like she loved the abuse. Everyday more frosty. I'm now really happy with how she's turned out. Smells really piney and citric.
Sour Crack is finishing up now, I'll give her a week on overdrive then flush heavily for 10 days.✌️🏻️
I don't know who's active on her following along, so make a comment if your actively updating weekly and I will follow you!😃

This is one of my all time favourite smokes. When she was growing I was initially annoyed at her small size but as her buds started developing they just didn’t stop. LItterally not 1 popcorn leafy airy bud in sight. Tropical cream taste like mangos and cream! nothing special, taste is nice and sweet it’s a good day time smoke but too many leaves to deal with. Running the sour crack as a Solo grow diary as I think she deserves some recognition! The CCB causes me so much stress from the very start of her life that I would rather just forget I ever grew her. Funny thing is this diary started as a Fast Buds Blackberry. Also killed a Mephisto Skywalker, Heisenberg and finally the CCB before we ended up with this beauty! I’ll get some nice shots of the dried be cured bud!000
