Hello fellow growers, I am pleased to start this new journey with you.
I am also particularly excited since I am going to grow a Mephisto Genetics strain for the very first time, the famous Double Grape.
I know you shouldn't believe the hype, as Public Enemy used to say, but it's hard to ignore the dithyrambic reviews when it comes to Mephisto.
I sowed the seed directly in the substrate and it was popping out 3 days later.
Right now the seedling is under my Mars Hydro TS1000, brightness set at 25%, lights are 80cm away.
During my last grows I set it up to the max at all stages of growth, this time I decided to proceed differently and increase gradually. Please let me know in the comments if you think I should just push it to the max right away.
I would like to thank HESI nutrients team for sending me a great Starter Pack! Shout out to Hesi_Official, can't wait to test your products!
Thanks for reading and stay tuned for weekly updates! 😎
Hello fellow growers,
Shy beginning for the Double Grape and nothing much to report. It's growing slowly but surely.
I might have put my lights a bit too high at first because the seedling got very leggy. I lowered it, approximately 60cm away (23inches) and increased the brightness, from 25 to 50%.
I gave it its very first HESI feeding, see details above.
Please don't hesitate to check my Instagram page. I'm new there, it would be nice to connect with other growers! @harukisan_grower_cz/
See you next week 😎
Hello fellow growers,
Week 2 for the Double Grape and once again there is nothing much to report. No issues as of now, it's growing nicely.
I just take care of the watering (mixed with HESI nutrients), otherwise I sit back and I enjoy the show. I think I might top it next week, not sure yet. We'll see how it goes.
Thanks for stopping by! Happy growing and see you next week 👍
Hello fellow growers 🙌 ,
3rd week for the Double Grape, she seems to be doing great. 🌱
She grew quite a lot this week so I decided to top her. She should be recovering nicely (hopefully).
It's really taking off now, can't wait to see the evolution.
Otherwise, I am following HESI recommend feeding schedule and no issues so far.
Thanks for checking in, see you next week! 👍
Hello fellow growers,
4th week for the Double Grape and we are still looking good. She recovered perfectly after the topping, in fact, she didn't seem to suffer from it at all.
I did some light training on the lower branches, I am waiting for the top branches to grow a bit more before I start to manipulate them.
She's showing some pistils, now the real fun begins. 😎
I am still following the HESI feeding schedule and we are doing just fine.
This week I added HESI Boost which role is to activate flowering.
That's it for now, don't hesitate to check my Instagram page @harukisan_grower_cz .
Thanks for stopping by and see you next week! 👍
Hello fellow growers👋,
5th week for the Double Grape. 🍇🍇
She is still doing great after the topping, healthily branching from all sides.
I have to adjust the wires every day (sometimes twice a day). She is growing fast. Can't wait to see her develop her colas and bud sites.
Otherwise, nothing much to report, I am still sticking to the HESI feeding schedule. I will probably switch to bloom nutrients next week.
Thanks for stopping by and see you next week! 👍
Hello fellow growers,
It's already week 6 and she's doing excellent as far I can tell.
She is slowly developing her bud sites and my girlfriend says it's getting pretty stinky in there.
I switched to bloom nutrients this week.
The only thing I am still indecisive about is whether or not I should defoliate, tuck the leaves or leave her alone.
I asked a few other growers and it seems like a polarizing topic. Please feel free to give your opinion 👍.
That's it for now! As usual, thanks for stopping by, and see you next week 😎.
Hello fellow growers,
Hope you're all having a Happy Easter.
7th week for the Double Grape and she looks quite good to me. The buds are getting fuller and the smell is starting to get a bit more powerful.
I defoliated lightly. Just a few leaves here and there inside the canopy to allow better airflow. Nothing serious.
I am still very happy with HESI nutrients. No signs of deficiencies, and the plant looks healthy.
That's it for now, thanks for stopping by! Stay tuned for next week's update. 👍
Hello fellow growers,
Nothing much to say this week. No issues, all good.
The plant is basically growing itself at this point and I am just in charge of the occasional watering/feeding.
Thanks for stopping by! 👍
Hello fellow growers,
She looks nice and healthy, no issues. Each week we're getting closer and closer to the finish line.
The smell is not as strong as I thought it would be, it's actually pretty discreet. When you rub the buds a little bit, it smells like overripe fruit.
Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate it. 👍
Hello growers,
Buds are getting fatter and frostier and the plant looks beautiful if I may so myself.
I can't wait to test the final product. So far I am very satisfied with my first Mephisto strain.
Thanks for stopping by, stay tuned! 👍
Hello growers,
The Double Grape is doing well. 🍇🍇
I'd say maybe about two weeks left, what do you think? Most fan leaves are turning yellow, I feel like we are reaching the end of the line.
Thanks for stopping by. 👍
Hello growers,
Last pictures before chopping her off. It's been a stress-free grow, no issues whatsoever.
The next update will be after a nice drying and a two-week cure (at least).
Thanks for stopping by. 👊
