Mephisto Day 60 - very small

Findtheloraxstarted grow question 3 years ago

Just wondering how my plants are looking from experienced growers. First ever grow. Plants seems very small, only 8in tall (I did lst). Maybe too much nutes to start. Any input or advice is appreciated.

The plant looks good though I do agree that it is on the small side. It looks like your LST is working well with a good number of buds, nicely spaced for light. I do see a fair bit of open area and I'm not seeing any complete fan leaves. When did you defoliate? Don't forget that a plant's energy comes from it's leaves. Remove leaves and there is generally less energy for producing buds. Are you running both of your lights? Measure the light level at the top of your plants and see if you are getting 800 PPFD+. There are several good light measuring apps for cell phones. I really like the "PPFD Meter" app. All the apps need some calibration to be accurate but PPFD Meter was within 10% without calibration. I also like "Lux Light Meter" but it doesn't do the conversion to PPFD so you'll have to do the math manually.

Good whit Lst Too much water at the beginning Keep the tent clean,remove that foliage 😅 Slow down whit nutes,better less than too much! When you water avoid to wet the leaves,you gonna damage them. Wish you good luck 👊🏽🍀

Thanks. I am running both my lights and I do think I made a mistake defoliating too much...got a little carried away but you live and learn. Initially I used my well water which I eventually found to be 200-300 ppm so now I'm using an ro/di filter. I guess I just need to tighten the parameters and watch my nutes.

Hi there, Your plant is fine, you did only 3 weeks of veg and with lst the stretch is short. With less nuts or/and more veg time you should get a more impressive plant.

You have been really progressive about LST and this will have kept a bit of height back. Your diary is missing some key info to find out how well its going like feed and ppm numbers. I do think your light could be closer. but It all depends on its PPFD map and how many hours its on. Your learning like myself and a lot of us combined. It's important not to hold yourself to others standards and set realistic goals for your self. A few of my goals where 1oz a plant. then 2 then 3 for autos. I've gotten up to three on some weird looking bud so I will keep trying for better. So Now I'm going to be trying photoperiods with a target of 3oz min a plant. Over all your plant is looking healthy and that's a great fleet to achieve. Its going to be rewarding none the less Best of Luck and Happy Growing.
