All five seeds sprouted with 10 hours of each other between the fourth and fifth day. They were germinated in soil, in their final 3gal smart pots to reduce transplant shock and possibility of stunting. They are under 4ea 6500K and 2ea 5000K fluorescents at about 2-3" from the top of seedlings. Using square disposable cooktop protectors as reflective mulch. The soil is FFOF cooked for one week in the smart pots with Aurora Roots Organic Oregonism XL, flushed to remove some of the nutrients, then re-inoculated with the Oregonism XL before direct planting the seedlings at approximately 3/4" depth. Top of soil was kept moist via spray bottle up until vegetation emerged, then ceased all spraying.
Addition: I'm going to be using a slightly modified version of the Roots Organic feeding schedule, sans any nutrients for the first few weeks depending on how the seedlings do, and also shorter due to their chart being twelve weeks long and this strain should finish at nine weeks.
We've got some male bits showing up on one of the ladies, im trying to decide whether or not to keep one of the pollen sacs and isolate the branch to get some seeds or to pinch the last one off. Could save money down the road, on the other hand it could ruin a crop! I would love some thoughts or ideas! Happy grows
@Mescaline, wish I had an open window! Darn north facing windows... I let the single pollen sac mature, then pinched it off and rubbed it between my thumb and finger. I then used my thumb and finger to pollinate one of the smaller bud site's pistils. So far so good, I think I got the sucker just before it popped open. Time will tell
@Longhunter, hi! Good lookn girls! =)
You should isolate male plant, then collect some pollen. It could give pollen even on the window with no risk to your ladies =)
Looking cool man, going to follow this as I am looking to run a "sog" soon and was looking for a good strain to run. I was looking at their sodk as well.
@HolyTHC, I agree. I think five is good, and I can cut 3.5 weeks or so off my grow time by vegging out of my tent under CFLs on my shelf. Happy grows and thank you. :)
@Longhunter, it maybe would, but it is not worth already, cuz these older ladies soon will be even bigger and will leave only very small space for young one.
Nice gals, bro :)
@HolyTHC, I went ahead and moved them down, as they are stretching quite a bit! This weeks photos give a better representation of the tent space to plant ratio. Also, I can only fit 5 of my 3 gal smart pots under 4' of fluorescents, so putting more in isn't feasible at this time. One more would fit though, do you think? Happy grows :)
@Longhunter, sadly mine did not turn out that big or any special lets say but i still am happy to take care of them and later on smoke them. :) Thank you kind sir.
@Mescaline, Im running three gallon smart pots. The Sour Stompers are said to be harvestable at day 65, so they are very quick to veg before flowering. Everything seems to be on schedule, though! Thanks for checking in, Happy grows!
@FarmerJohn, Thanks bud! All five are looking great so far and I'm very impressed with the consistency in genetics being presented here. So far nothing but good things about mephisto.
@knocker, thanks dude! All five ladies are looking great and also very similar. Noticing two distinct phenotypes in the leaves as of now, but no other differences to my eye as of yet! Your plants are also looking stellar. Keep it up!
