First DWC Mephisto Grow

1. Transplanted popped seeds into Riot plugs and then put them directly in their DWC buckets. 2. Added 2 grams of MEGA CROP per gallon without measuring my initial water PPM. Ended up with a 360-400 PPM, and burned leaf tips by the end of the week. 3. Cotyledons of 1 Double Grape x 3BOG cross struggled to open, had to cut through the testa to help.

1. Curly leaves are showing, probably still due to the first week nutrient burn. Dialed PPM @280. My tap water has an initial 105 PPM, so I'll be trying a 15/20% lower concentration of the normal MC recomendation. 2. Had to remove humidifier from tent. Both plants from the back side started to stagnate a bit. My guess is that this was caused by a direct vapor flow; causing their PH to decrease from 6 to 5.4 and their PPM to fluctuate crazy. 3. Because of this my RH% dropped heavily, from 65 to 55. 4. Had to turn on fans and opened the tent to maintain temp at 76º F. Learning is fun.

1. Dialed in PPM with this: Desired PPM (555) - Initial tap water PPM (105) / By how many PPM are in 1 gram of MEGACROP dilluted in 1 gallon of water (138.5) = 3.2 grams of MEGACROP / 1 gallon of water 2. Lowered ph from 6 to 5.8 (hydro sweet spot baby) 3. Changed lights from @24" to @18" since day 1 of 3rd week 4. I got my hands on a decent A/C in order to mantain my temps steady, this changed my temps a bit:
 - night temp: 74 -> 72 - solution temp: 74 -> 72 5. 01/02: I added 3 ml of calmag to #2. girl was yellow af. 6. 02/02: Sacrificed #1/Double Grape cross mutant pheno. RIP. 7. Started LST and topped them all during this week. (It might or might not happened an accident while topping girl #3/Double Grape cross. lets see how it goes)

I did less work in the grow this week, had a busy week. 1. Added 6ml of CALMAG to girl #2/NCH cross on this week’s feeding schedule. 3ml helped in changing its color from yellow to green. 2. Went gorilla mode on the LST, #3 and #4 went great, but I ended up injuring heavily baby girl #2. I guess i didn’t understand she was the fragilest from the very start, RIP main cola. 3. Also, set the buckets apart and topped #3 and #4 again.

Bloom starting to kick in form this week on. 1. Had to put a dehumidifier in front of tent to reduce RH%, it dropped to 50% and my temps increased from 74 to 78 F. 2. Kept with the 6ml of extra calmag to girl #2 /NCH cross. 3. Added 1 gram of Bud Explosion per gallon to help with the early bloom. 4. Lamp to plant distance is decreasing progressively this week; from 18" to 12". 5. Trying to lollipop all girls from this week on. Still training them thru LST to open them more. 6. ScrOG initiated this week; added net inside the tent to achieve a better light distribution thru all bud sites. 7. DUE TO THE NET FEEDING THEM, AND CHECKING THEIR PH / PPM LEVELS IS A HECK OF AN ADVENTURE NOW. 😅

1. This girls are getting hungrier by the minute. Cracked in the 50 gal trash can with 30 gallons of water @695 PPM to keep up with aaaaaall their needs. 2. Changed PH from 5.8 to 6.0, to increase phosphorus availability during bloom. 3. Kept adding just 1 gram per gallon of Bud Explosion. 4. Kept adding 6ml of extra calmag to girl #2 /Northern Cheese Haze cross. While a bit yellow, shes freaking strong and robust now. Might do this 2 times a week now to maintain momentum. 5. Girl #3 is loving life and growing tall. This (Double Grape x 3BOG) x Sour Bubbly is at least 7 inches taller than the two Northern Cheese Haze x Sour Bubbly. She is addicted to light. 6. They are eating half of the buckets basically every day. Thats ~2 gallons every 24 hours 😇. 7. Im adding 2/3 buckets of DampRid inside tent to reduce RH% and achieve something below 45%. 8. 24/02: Did some mayor ScrOG to the Double Grape cross in order to maintain a more even canopy. This might be the last time Im doing extensive training to the plants. CANOPY LEVEL DECREASED: 28” -> 19” 9. Ok, so both Nch crosses are a bit behind bloom. PH was the detrimental cause, I didn’t check their PH levels enough to maintain it at 6. At a PH of 5.3 they couldnt find available phophorus to react. I corrected it.

2nd week of flowering. 1. PPM increased sligthly this week. 695 -> 765. Now adding 2ml per gallon of calmag 2 times a week to both NCH girls. 2. Rearranged ScrOG to give the main colas fair enough light. Girls stretched aaaaa lot last weekend. 3. Last mayor defoliation occured this week, NCH girls look skinny AF now :/. Prob due to my attempt to grow way to many colas. NEXT TIME IM MAINLINING. 4. NCH crosses are starting to show bloom changes after being static for almost a week. I'm being patience, not trying to rush things with them. 4. The Double Grape cross is looking amazing and getting frostier every day. I'm actually loving this one 😻, I guess she's liking the babyboo vip spa treatment. 6. Opened half of the tent. Since I introduced the DampRid buckets, the whole room's RH% decreased by 3. Im finally a bit below 45%. 7. Also, since then, my temps are sometimes at 76 F. 8. Girl #2/Northern Cheese Haze cross decided to stretch once again this weekend, going from 35 to 40 inches tall. Will LST her starting next week. 9. Double Grape cross is starting to get frostier and a distintive smell has appeared. Smells fresh.

1. PPM is the same as last’s week but I’m increasing the amount of Bud Explosion per gallon. 1.00 -> 1.25 grams 2. Did some extra/non planned defol to both NCH crosses. It seems like they didn’t benefit from having as much budsites as the Double Grape cross did. 3. NCH girls are 1 to 2 weeks behind flowering time compared to the Double Grape, I’ll try to grow lesser but bigger colas still, crossing fingers. 4. NCH girls keep stretching but I’m good with it, the ScrOG continues. 5. Aside from all of that, the Double Grape is doing great! Main cows are reaching the 10 inches long and getting fatter with each day. 6. Nose on the Double Grape is beginning to define itself; diluted grape soda. Still on the weak side, but fresh AF. 7. Plants are getting sticky. their unique terp profile sprouts everytime i work on them, even if its just the fan leaves. 8. Some Double Grape fan leaves are starting to have a red hue on the edges. And lots of trichomes. 👽

Week 9 just started, and the Double Grape cross is getting faaaaaaaaaat, so I decided to turn off lights a few minutes to take some good photos. 1. PPM increased this week. 765 -> 835, might be the last time I'm increasing PPM this crop. 2. Double grape seems to be in late bloom now: Bud Explosion increased from 1.25 to 1.5 grams/gallon. 3. Still applying 2ml/gallon of CALMAG to both NCH girls, twice a week. 4. Both NCH girls are starting to make fatter buds now! This makes me happy, my growmies. Big colas incoming. 5. The smell on the NCH girls is starting to be more citrus, while the DG girl smells definitely grapey but also very sweet. 6. I lost the even canopy last week, even after another heavy ScrOG rearrangement. It happened when girl #2 /Northern Cheese Haze cross decided to make her last stretch before going full bloom mode. 7. Reached max light height inside tent. And the smell in the whole room is more intense now. 😏 8. Reworked NCH #2's ScrOG and LST in order to keep her canopy far from the lights. Shes definetely the fragiliest from them all, very easy to break, and the short distance from the lights started to burn the tip of her pistils, also a decrease in the density of the trichomes occurred. :c 9. Overall, NCH #2 has been the victim to all my mayor mistakes during this first try at growing, and its noticeable. She has an incredible smell doe, and her buds are still sticky af. She'll endure this for sure.

1. Double grape cross is smelling and looking amazingggg. I'm giving this one another 1-2 weeks before chop day. 👻 2. The smell on the Double Grape is now grapey sweet with a touch of gasssss. Yum. Also, some red/purple hues are starting to show. 3. NCH #4 is starting to get fatttttttt. #2 is not as fat but thriving still. The smell on this girls is citrus af. I'm loving it so far. 4. Theres a nute deficiency showing on NCH #2 and #4; calcium deficiency on #2 and phosphorus deficiency on #4. I guess I haven't been as diligent as I should be with their PH checks. Will correct it. 5. Defol Double Grape one last time this week. I guess she's at late bloom stage already. GGs. 6. Temps and humidity increased a bit since last week because both NCH crosses started to do some serious bloom. 7. NCH #2 stretched hard AGAIN. So I had to LST her in a wierd way with help of some counterweight to keep away from the light. 8. Started to flush Double Grape /girl #3 at day 70 but regret it inmediately (lmao) so I revert her bucket to 835 PPM. Sorry not sorry, two more weeks to go maybe. 9. NCH girls produced some serious trichs this week, girl #4 is looking mad shinny now. Keeping a close eye on the Double Grape cross next week, she's almost there.

1. Last days for the Double Grape cross, she's almost done. 2. Flushing Double Grape cross for 3 days starting this week. 3. NCH #4 is gettting faaaaaaat. It seems like she's getting frostier than the Double Grape cross. 4. Smell is crazy on the room right now; Double Grape is gaaassssss right now, can't wait to harvest. 5. Haven't change anything since last week; same PPM, same PH, same temps, same RH%. 6. Only thing that has change is my dehumidifier. The water tank is filling up in a matter of a day. So there has been some RH% swing every other day due to this. 7. NCH #2 is doing fine, she look's more ripe than her sister but she's also more skinny. Her smell is more intense too. Everything probably due to her closeness to the light.

1. The final week for the Double Grape cross has come. 2. Did a 4 days flush to the Double Grape cross before I harvested her @80 days. I'm so fn happy for this one! 3. Rearrange both NCH girls inside tent and took out the Yoyos to help NCH #4 with her colas. I guess she was supporting her weight with the help of girl #3 /Double Grape cross. 4. NCH /Girl #4 is showing me how to never doubt about a plants capacity 😨. She is smaller than the Double Grape cross but getting as fattttttt, if not fatter, than the Double Grape main colas. Excited about these next weeks! Last few weeks till total harvest. Double Grape harvest post incoming!

The looks on this one are sexy! It also burns even. Effects wise, first 15 mins you perceive a high cerebral rush that peaks at 30 mins. Makes you feel creative and with energy. Later on, the cerebral effect dissipates and leaves you feeling all giggly and relaxed in da body. The smell is all about sweetness and gas with a funky grapey smell hugging and keeping those close. Colors didn't showed much cause of the 24/0 light cycle but it ended up showing some purple hues during late bloom. Overall this girl was so fn grateful with the treatment she received.

Last full week for this grow. 1. Rearranged the light and moved the flowers just a bit, to cover the canopy in a better way, 2. Also, gave both of them just one dose of 2ml CALMAG / 1gal water during this week. 3. Nothing more happened during this week, just giving this girls her last few days till full harvest.

Last few days for this 2 NCH girls. 1. Iniciated flush. Just 4 days before harvest. 2. Day 97, and its done. This grow is officially done! 🙌🙌🙌🙌 Harvest post incoming!

Effects wise, this is a flower you can smoke on and still be active. Pushes the motivation treshhold up. The smell is sour tropical, smells the way mangoes smell just before ripening. Colors didn't showed much cause of the 24/0 light cycle. The yellow it had was because of a nute deficiency. Delicious cannabis, my dudes.
