Hello everyone! I promised to track this grow very closely this time and ufortunately life got in the way. Here is a quick sumup of the grow. First of all- One of the sour stomper plants unfortunately didn't make it. It died at about week 4. The main stem somehow had rubbed/broken down. That's why it was falling down. It was almost like a mini beaver had chewed it off at the point where the stem touches the riot rooter. At first I thought nothing much of it, maybe it hasn't been rooted in quite well yet or something. And I was constantly touiching it when watering, that made it worse. Soo the leaves were dropping and the plant looked very weak. Then I decided cut thr rapid rooters top layer and found out the severity of the problem. Tried to tape it up and other things, but it was too late. At the end it appeared all good as the remaing plants got so big the I had some space issue so I wouldn't have been able to fit another plant in anyway. At that time I finally made my self-draining saucers. I took me a while and a lot of effort, but finally they were ready and working well. I also installed the self watering system and flowering was starting. Pretty soon I started noticing weird leaf symtoms. Brown spots, different kind. Some plants had it more, some less. Sour Stomper looked pretty good throughout the grow. Mango smiles seemed sensitive and Strawberry Nuggs were pretty strong until the end. The grow was basically me experimenting with the setup- changing watering schedules , changing ppm, ph and all that stuff to keep the leaves looking healthy and it was very hard I have to admit. Probably my hardest grow in that regard. But somehow, the bud leaves remained healthy and the buds really fattened up good. I got away with an amzing 700G dry bud harvest which was def a new record from one grow. And the bud quality is very good too! Next time definetly no more than 4 plants as they got pretty big and I thought it was a little overcrowded. I was doing some good defoliation too. I should have defolited strawberry nugs more tho. Sour Stomper got some amazing bud development from top to bottom because it was was growing next to strawberry nuggets which were really small most of the grow. They actually took the most time to harvest even longer than Mango smile. Mango smiles were ready quite early. Sour Stomper was just in time! I topped sour stomper and both Mangoi smiles, left SNs both normal. Looking back at it, the way I grow them, Should have topped SNs too. Would probably have more space in the middle and longer side branches. Probably wouldn't have been as bushy! I followed the full Terra aquatica feed chart until the end. I was supplementing with CalMag a lot as I thought the symptoms could have been from a CalMag deficiency as this was my first grow with RO water. Overall a very challenging but good grow at the end. First time no mold problems. A record breaking yield for me. Basically surpassed the upper limit for all plant probable harvest sizes. Got good smelling quality bud. Very happy overall and will continue experimenting with Mephisto beans in the future for sure! I guess what I like the most about Mephisto is how close to description the plant is, very stable genes in that regard. Next time I will also have to start feeding plants higher PPM feed faster at the very start. and during flowering. But still not 100% sure what caused the leaf symptoms.

Last day chopped approx 1.8 kg tpw

Well done rapidstart , do hiz work🤘 No technique just fold the leaves

ok so everything has gone fantastic , no nutrient burns at all , and have been slowly creeping up the base nutrients , i have stopped the cal mag and now adding house and gardens bud XL at full strength these girls are now in full swing of flower and i bought a new ph stick this week , i have found when PHing the feed bucket that its best too have air stones in the bucket , add all nuts and then ph but do not use the feed that day as if you check the next day the ph is off again so i left it 24 hours after i add more ph down , and it seems too make the measurements alot easier and stable , i have bent down the main stems " without damaging them onto my netting too A keep the canopy all the same high so my lighting is covering all plants at the same distance and also it allowed the side stems too reach up too , i also was sponsored another new led light by kingbo this week so have added another 600watt led too the grow , so now have two 600's and one 900watt , and temps are still fine sitting at 24c lights on and 19-20 off , so am pleased with that , this lady is nice and compact and tight lots of leaves that I had too remove too open up her bud sites , stretch was also minimal ,

27 Dec - 2 Jan 27 Dec Started flushing due to nutrient burn at 26 Dec 22:00 - Finished Flushing on 28 Dec 06:00 2ml/l Flawless Finish 1ml/l Sensizym 400PPM 28 Dec Lowered feed due to nutrient burn. Aiming at 900ppm 29 Dec I don't see any new damage, but I'm keeping an eye on them. 31 Dec I saw a few leaves with probable calcium def, so I added 0.8ml/l of Sensi bloom part A 0.8ml/l of Sensi bloom Part B

update later

👨‍🌾🏻🍀💚

I like how it looks like ... What u mean folks?

She is starting to kick off buds nicely. The smell is fantastic makes me wanna slap my momma. I've been defoliating the plant here and their to allow more light to get through her

Essa semana fez muito calor e a umidade ficou baixa, teve dias que bateu 47% e 30°

The plants seem to be growing very fast very strong. thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow

Day 40F Today Reservoir is currently empty & aqua-vale full on each autopot. I refill the tank with 10gal water + a mixture of boost 200ml then I’ll PH adjust & turn on my reservoir on day Day 45F. Last video i support the heavier branches with yo-yo

She was easy to grow and got a huge main cola

Only 10 days of drying and 2.5 weeks of curing, but I'll post the smoke report: Tastes of sweet Carmel creaminess. Very smooth and great high. That's why so many strains have gelato as one of their parents. Because it's damn good. 8/10. Very happy with gelato. Harvested 3.99 ounces (111.8 grams) of primo Gelato flower. Chopped day 82 from seed in soil.

Amazing strain even in hot temperatures it has nice frosty nuggets

Ci siamo !!! No vedo l ora di farmi il regalo di natale. Odora di dolce, fragola e zucchero. Il terreno e carico di nutrienti infatti credo che questa settimana andrà ad acqua . Piena di gemme appiccicose e profumate sarà pronta prima di natale speriamo bene. Dajeforte growers!

The second week of flowering, last bigger cut, I accidentally broke one of the smaller top ones 😔😤, the girl is doing well 👍 Day 63: the eighth week went without major changes, the girl shows no shortcomings and grows nicely.

Wow I had my led way to close at 22" should have been 34" but live and learn . They were also a little river watered but I've fixed those issues and given the girl fresh water then a nutrient feed and foiler spray. Very excited to see what next week bring in living the genetics resilient already is great ..besides that not much to say but have a great week canna family ...
