NOTES:
Keeping the pH between 5,8-6,0 and EC at around 1,4-1,6 depending on system. EC at 1,5 seems to be optimal and my measurements are staying pretty steady at that level. Humidity is lowered to around 50% if I can.
The tops are now at around 45-60cm height from the soil.
Continuing the last heavier defoliation/pruning process that I started yesterday at the end of 2nd flowering week. I saw no signs of mold or any other issues as I went through the plants.
After this week I'm going to change the nutrient solutions on the tanks and fill them with fresh nutrients with minor changes: Dropping the amount of Grow from 1,5ml to 0,5ml and increasing the amount of Bloom from 1,5ml to 2,5ml. After the change I'm only going to refill the tanks without adding any Grow and will instead increase the amount of Bloom to 3ml. Propably a one more change of fresh nutrients until flushing with Final Solution prior harvesting.
Day64 (19.12.)
Some more defoliation focusing on the upper growth revealing bud sites below them and keeping off the moisture. Already got a trash bag almost full of leaves since they've been pretty bushy plants on average.
Day65 (20.12.)
Continuing the last defoliation process.
Day66 (21.12.)
Continuing the last defoliation process, pretty satisfied with the results so far. Light penetration and airflow have increased greatly so I don't have to worry that much about humidity or possible mold any longer.
Each strain has started flowering, all plants are females and buds have started to develop. Defoliating didn't seem to stress the plants as much as I thought it would.
Day67 (22.12.)
Day68 (23.12.)
Refilled and added some nutrients with a stronger Bloom/Grow -ratio (~4:1) and left my girls to enjoy the Christmas Holidays as I did. I'll be gone for around three days, after that I'll change to new fresh nutrients as I mentioned before.
One Ayahuasca Purple seems to be ahead of others, and a few other ones have clearly started to develop some buds too, rest of the plants are following closely behind. Each strain has some truly astonishing individuals, and I think Ayahuasca's have shown most variety between different plants. Overall everything looks pretty good I think. Hopefully can say the same after a couple of days as I come back.
Happy holidays everyone!
Day69 (24.12.)
Day70 (25.12.)
I added another Led light to my tent just before the lights turned off. Everything looks amazing!

Without a doubt the best bud I‘ve ever grown! I have nothing but positive things to say about the genetics of this plant. This was my first mephisto grow so very impressed. Buds are sticky and dense after weeks of 90-100 degree weather. No signs of stress or slowing. The plants tackled every hint of def or toxicity with ease. Got a little less yield than I expected, but not complaining as quality is incredible!!
Buds dryed for 6 days and cured for 7 as of review. Very dense and sticky.
Yielded 5oz dry A-bud, 2oz dry fluff, and 15oz of wet trim. Pressed the fluff with a 11% yield. Rosin is budder-like and smooth.
EDIT: Later edited on aug 17 to provide cure update.
—-smoke report—-
The finished cured bud reeks intensely of diesel, raspberry, and hash! The smoke itself is light on the lungs and heavy in texture. Smoke hints at flavors of raspberry and caramel with sweet notes.
High produces strong headband and couchlock effect. Potency is high without a doubt. Smoking a few under 30 day cured bowls produces a high for a solid 3-6 hours even at a high tolerance level.
As of mid-august, the cure is complete and stone has intensified. Feels waaay more indica this time. Fully cured bud can knock a seasoned stoner the fuck out. Blew my expectations out of the water
This was my first mephisto grow and it made me a diehard fan. Can‘t wait to grow more later in the year!

Week 8 is going great, started flush
toward the end of week 7 on Zkittlez and OG Kush. Also started flushing Pink Kush CBD and Purple Punch at start of week 8. All are packing weight still and smelling very fragrant. Trichomes are starting to cloud out and I am planning on harvesting when trichomes are starting to amber.

Got a new light this week, it's basically a HLG 260 R-Spec except locally manufactured using the same Samsung LEDs. Big Mumma got her 60x60cm tent today and will go in there under one Viparspectra 300W blurple (130w from the wall). I trimmed her, super cropped her main stem and added a scrog net in preparation of flowering her in the next couple of days.
Because my other plants were getting up past 75cm after 7 days of flower (100cm is my absolute max) , I decided to supercrop the canopy back down to about 60-65cm - it was pretty scary and I definitely broke the outer stem on some of them. Also gave them a good trim. Fortunately most bounced back strong the next day which are the most up-to-date photos you see (17/4/20).

Life got a bit out of control, however, I am here with an update! :)
Unfortunately, the plants will need to come down tomorrow. The weather has turned and I havent been able to spend as much time at the location which has led to some botrytis on one or two of the plants :(
Plants have been fed only water no nutes for the last few days, it is unfortunate because they could've gone at least another 10-14 days if the conditions were right or I was able to be at the location full time.
Some observations -
Two of the keeper pheno's are quite similar to each other, and the other two are even more similar to each other.
Overall the genetics seem quite stable as all the plants are similar overall with slight variations with two Pheno 1 and 2 standing out the most.
Pheno #2 turned out to be something special! Sweet candy cookie nose and dense sluricane-looking nugs. Worth testing indoors to see her true potential.
Pheno #1 has bigger nugs and funky fruity nose, also with considering keeping.
Pheno #3 and #4 are very similar, but nothing worth keeping IMO.
Last thoughts/notes:
I will have to re-veg and take cuts of Pheno 1 because no cuttings were taken because I wasnt planning on keeping any :(
When the cuts are ready I will re-test pheno 1 indoors in the coming months.
The Tooth Fairy by Renegade Genetics Tooth Fairy has surprised me. I wasn't expecting much from these freebies from an unknown breeder, however, these girls performed exceptionally well given the timeline, conditions and circumstances. Sweet berry candy aromas, really good trichome development and easy-to-grow nature make her worth giving a whirl.
I look forward to re-testing the keeper indoors in the coming months. look out for that diary!
This will be the last update before the final check-in.
The next and final check-in will be bud shots, weight and smoke report.
Happy Growing 🌱✊

Signs of swelling, & smell is picking up.
Lots of nice-looking colas between these 3 gals.
-Need to start bringing up my defoliations / canopy a little bit. More bottom larf than preferred, and it just forces me to pull them later anyway.

Questions & Feedback are welcomed, feel free to message me!
Thanks for stopping by growmies! 🤙🤙🤙🙏🙏🙏

So these girls are shorter than expected allthough the 2 girls are of decent height enough for me too flip along side my aptus fed girls.
I have defoliate all areas that covers light getting too the lowers and also removed excess branching too focus energy towards the main tops also did this via a little lst 🌱
One of each plus an extra 412 so hopefully they stick through and make it too harvest which they look too be healthy so far.
I will next defoliate on week 3 of flower and also remove excess plant matter taking up neccasary energy 🌱
Shogun is serving them well so fa!
Lights will be 12/12 tonight
Week 1 flower commences then
Stay blessed 💚

So, I start the harvest last week, but didn't get time to post here, first were the top bud, and this week I got the rest of the plant, it is a good strategy as the lower buds could develop a little more!
Amazing growth! I am very happy with the wield, it was my 3 growth at all and my first LST! Great results!
Thank you all for the support! Now I will stop for 3 months, going to Africa for a little bit! :-)

Hello friends! I am glad to be a participant of such a large-scale and simply cool competition! Thanks to the organizers and the website administration for such an opportunity. I will say a few words about my plans. I am going to grow 2 plants in one pot, using the Mainlining method. Good luck to all participants! May the best one win!

11. Woche, Icy legt gut zu, dadurch das sie nicht ganz so viele Seitentriebe hat werden duch das Lollipopping und entlauben keine Popcornbuds gebildet, auch gut👍. Die Mainbuds werden schön groß und der Duft wird immer intensiver.

This plant is beautiful, wish I had taken a clone!
Reaching peak flower now so added PK into the mix for extra Potassium and Phosphorous over the next 10 days or so. Never had plants soak up this much nutrients without any burn (touch wood) so I'm really impressed with the Vitalink range. This plant is at the front left of the tent, and to the rear of the screen in the timelapse.
Heavily defoliated for the final time this week, allowing for the light to reach as many bud sites as possible.

Day 36. One girl is shooting the sky other still have that unhealthy look, made my mind - its genetics and i can't do anything.
Girls got second feed, looks happy and hopefully will bring some nice flowers.
Took some leaves down, spread a bit, but most of work will be done next week, if i will dare ;)))
Last time used Root Juice, added Acti-Vera, increased Bloom and Heaven.
Day 40. After last feed, girls got small rusty spots on 4-5 leaves total, cut out cal mag for couple weeks.
Heavy training, its always tricky to decide what to do with Autos and i have almost no knowledge, but i have SPA Queen and Midget aka Margaret ;))) both different, but bushy, had to clear Midget really heavily and still loads future airbuds left, but maybe ... ;)))
Girls drink 3 liters every day, highest rate ever, but i relate it to most powerfull exhaust ever.
Some leaves on both plants got strange mutation, like leaf tries to branch out ... Never seen anything like this. But by height i presume it happend on first feed, late Root Juice aftermath ?
Happy Growing !

01/24/25. Start week 8 veg
I messed around with this girl a lot the past week. I could see she had plenty of branching and bud sites but most of them were hiding. I used some lst clips to move things around and get more exposed.
She was watered yesterday with calmag and her next watering will be with a feeding. She’s drinking about a half gallon every 2-3 day currently.
She’ll be getting flipped soon. Would have already done it but one of the friends had been a straggler and trying to get her right.
02/26/25- did some more last minute training and cleaned up around her nether regions and got rid of lower growth
02/27/25- watered/fed half a gallon
Also added video.
That about covers it.
Thanks for lookin. ✌️

Quick update week 3 flower these girls are putting on weight very very quickly. The blue gelato buds are already becoming dense like stones . Watermelon punch literally is the most satisfying smell I have smelt in a while . Wedding cake is the biggest in my tent and most gassiest plant. The terple inhouse genetics are also massive will show the inhouse section next week , just takes to long to take them out of tent
