Hello everyone. After too long of an absence, we are finally back for another round. This time we don't make any mistakes and we start with the basics and that is starting with the right seed from a reliable breeder. And this time our eye fell on a reserva line strain man bear alien pig from Mephisto genetics. We have been growing mainly mephisto for a few rounds now and it must be said the quality of the plants is phenomenal. The difference with other breeders is overwhelming. Anyway, let me show you ... Follow along with the grow of MBAP!
First some basic info.

Nutrients:

The primal way of organic growing is based on the use of compost. Based on compost a number of organic strategies have been developed. BioTabs is an organic fertiliser, using the force of soil organisms. BioTabs stimulates soil organisms by converting organic material into ideal plant food. In this way, plants develop strong root systems and are disease-resistant. BioTabs guarantees a fair, full and very tasty harvest. We're using this round following products
Bio tabs 3x pp
Startrex
Microtrex
Orgatrex
Bactrex
------
Soil:
------
Light Mix is โโa lightly fertilized soil. This lightly fertilized soil is ideal for the cultivation of autoflower cannabis. The BioBizz light mix ensures (through the open structure of the substrate) that the roots quickly and vigorously develop which leads to a better end product.

Strain:
--------
Reserva Strain: ManBearAlienPig
Genetic Heritage - 3 Bears OG x Ripley's OG
Seed Type: F3 Feminised Automatic

Project introduction and Overview:
----------------------------------------
ManBearAlienPig. MBAP to her friends. A legend of a strain and just the The Rock, FINALLY, MBAP is back in our catalogue. Originally release as Illuminauto #26, MBAP has long had a glowing reputation, and it hasn't been hard to figure out why. One of our top three most requested strains ever, extinct or not, adding back in to the lineup at the very first opportunity was a no-brainer.
Strain behavior and structure:
We've loved our grows of MBAP through the years; her potential for size in good conditions, even with just some light LST has convinced us she has TigerBlood and AdonisDNA, baby! She can grow as wide as she does tall, so will need to be given room to spread. A strong start is key to this strain, and balancing out nutrient levels once the feeds begin is essential. She can be finicky with nutes at the start, so make sure to read her well and give her a little love in all the right places.

@Wimpy, With the right conditions and genetics, this is quite normal. It must of course go well. And of course, autoflowers are known for their explosive growth. If you compare the growth rate with a regular strain, this is of course very impressive growth rate. That is why I am such a fan of auto flowers
@smokeymcpot, Haha, your answer made me genuinely laugh. Very funny, yes for now it is beast mode [ON] ๐. But I'm not cheering too soon, a lot can still go wrong. But thanks for the comment, I appreciate it!
