Continuing with my "Redemption Grows" since I messed up all of my first Mephistos. Less is more this time (in regards to nutrients). Seed germinated in 24 hours with the paper towel method and then put in soil as soon as I see the root poke out. Just misting the soil to keep it moist for the first week in soil.
Day 4 - Right on track. She tossed her seed shell off last night.
Day 8 - Nothing new to report. Seems to right on track. Watering about 100ml every 2 days.
Day 12 - Time to transplant! Today or tomorrow.
Day 13 - Transplanted. I wish I didn't plant it so deep in the pot, I have a few inches to spare towards the top that could have been root space in the soil.
Day 15 - Transplant went well enough. I've been looking into environmental reasons why all my autoflowers show pistils around day 16 and not a bit later. I gave a friend a 3BOG bean and his just started flowering around day 35. I read that high temps could cause earlier flowering...thoughts?
Day 17 - No pistils yet, but I'm kinda expecting them to pop out any day now. Would be nice to get some extra veg time though.
Watered 1.5L with .25ml Silica
Day 20 - Still not flowering yet. Stoked though!
Day 21 - I think I see the start of pistils poking out, we'll see in the next few days.
I'm not super happy with the node spacing. She'll probably end up kinda lanky as compared to my first 3BOG but she's still looking healthier than last time at this point.
Day 22 - Got a few pistils popping out of the top nodes. Watering today and switching to FF line for the rest of the grow I think.
Day 27 - Fed Big Bloom & Tiger Bloom at 1/4 strength
Day 33 - I think the stretch is over for the most part. This 3BOG has greater distance between branches than my last grow but it is overall a larger plant. Noticing some lower leaf issues with my other plants so I may ease off on the nutes for now, until I see signs of deficiencies.
Found 3 seeds growing at the bases of lower branches! Plucked them, hopefully there won't be any more.
Day 41 - Some discoloration on lower fan leaves after feeding at 1/4 strength. Maybe my nutrients are too old? Or the soil still has what they need and the feedings are just overdoing it?
Day 43 - Trichome production is ramping up as well as the smell. Some burning on a few of the largest fan leaves, which only occurred after the first feeding...bad nutes?
Day 49 - Some yellowing on lower leaves. Not sure if I burnt her with light feeding or finally hungry and needs nutes.
Day 50 - Quite a bit of yellowing on bottom leaves. Possibly the soil has run out of nutrients since I didn't fill the pot with as much soil as I intended. Going to try another light feeding of FF Tiger Bloom and see what happens.
Defoliated mostly larger fan leaves and tied up some of the side branches to try to even out the canopy.
Day 57 - Looking good, still some yellowing on some fan leaves but it's not really getting out of hand. Going better than last time so I'm happy!
Day 62 - Almost there. Mostly cloudy trichomes with a few amber, going to let her go a week more.
***FLUSHING***
The smell is strong now, prominently diesel-ish.
Day 64 - She's getting kinda top-heavy, nearing harvest time.
Day 65 - Keeping an eye on those trichs, just starting to amber on the top bud.
She stretched a bit more than the last time I grew her but I think that was my fault possibly due to my lights being too far during the seedling stage. She did manage to put on some purple towards the end despite the high temps. There's a lot to trim with not a lot of trichs on the "sugar" leaves but the nugs are surprisingly dense! As always, top of the line genetics from Mephisto. Overall, better than my last run of 3BOG. Thanks GD community!
