2.17.2024: Start of week 5, day 29 from seed, day 25 from sprout. Plant is healthy from what i can tell. Top of the plant's leaves all have slight white tips from what i'm assuming is light stress? Light is 16 inches from top of plant at 112 watts. I've let it pretty much do its thing so far. Branches are rather short making any sort of LST hard. Pistils are clearly visible so i'm assuming we're entering the flowering stage. Wouldn't be surprised to see the first signs of bud growth by the end of the week. Still no nutrients given. The fan leaves are large and blocking bud sites so perhaps i'll clip soon? Will upload pics today.
2.18.2024: Plant is responding well to the increase in light intensity. Still can't bring myself to take the large fan leaves off.
2.19.2024: Day 31 from seed. Plant is drinking more. Gave 64oz at 6.4ph. Run off ppm was 1450 at 6.6ph. Essentially 4 full weeks from seed before i need to start feeding. Next watering will contain nutrients.
2.20.2024: Humming along. Now firmly in the preflower/early flower stage. Growing 1/2 to 1 inch a day. If anyone is reading this, please tell me its ok to chop the big fan leaves blocking bud sites!
2.21.2024: Day 33 from seed, 29 from sprout. Picked up the pot this morning and it was very lite so i gave it another 64oz at 6.3ph. No run off this time which tells me they are starting to need more water or i need to up the frequency. Still no nutes in 33 days!
2.22.2024: Besides white tips on top growth, steady as she goes. I'll post a pic of the white tips. No idea how to solve. Plant is totally in flower but since we're almost at the end of week 5 from seed, i'll keep the diary in "flower." 14.5 inches from soil to top. Would love to see these get to 24 inches by the end.
2.23.2024: Upped water to 96oz at 6.4ph. About 2 cups of run off at 6.6ph and 1130ppm. Original soil still has nutes to offer at day 35 from seed.

Second week I did a mild pruning taking off big fan leaves, so that I can allow more light to the canopy. The girls took well and bounce back, still dancing.

8/5-After letting the bottom branches grow for another 4 days they were showing plenty of amber and had firmed up enough to harvest. Did a rough trim and hung the branches in Cannatrol Cool Cure to dry.
8/11-Overall the buds were a lot smaller than previous Mephisto grows. I'm going to let them cure for 2-3 weeks and then do a real taste test.

Que pasa familia, esta semana hemos lavado las raíces de un ejemplar, el otro ejemplar se le sigue echando nutrientes.
Ph controlado, intentaremos aguantar esa planta alguna semana más, las otra por lo menos aún le quedan un par de semanas.
Ph controlado bajamos humedad a 35% y la temperatura la mantenemos por debajo de 27.
Estas flores están cogiendo unas tonalidades increíbles, y empieza a desprender unos aromas brutales como a ácido.

1/12: impatiently waiting for lemon auto to finish up. Still not sure what the northern lights is trying to do, but..the little buds are slowly growing. S l o w l y...
1/14: things are getting out of hand in here. Northern lights is bushy AF again but the budlets appear to be increasing in size. Lemon is getting closer every day. Looks like I've got milky trichomes and the pistils are darkening. Still a bit early, but I'd be lying if I wasn't anxious for the space..
1/15: I've accepted that I have at least a week ish left on Lemon auto,but she's getting there! I did some rather risky defoliation on northern lights and holy shit, she's got potential. I'm hoping she's just a slow grower and those buds will really fatten up! Perhaps lemon is just a really fast growing plant? I've also decided that since space is limited, my best bet is to probably rotate the plants every other day to allow all bid sites an opportunity for direct light. I'm reigning myself in. Once lemon auto is harvested I need to NOT immediately plant another. I've got some mephosito seeds I want to get going, but I've learned my lesson. This tent fits two 5 gallon mature plants... Uncomfortably. Three is too many 😂
1/17: wondering if northern lights has is it her to fatten up. Gave her a good flush &feed. Popcorn buds or not, I'm invested (#forscience). Lemon auto is still finishing up. Can't get good enough pics with phone to see trichomes. Clearly, I have a minimum of a week left, but I got a digital microscope so I can keep track! Should be here for next update.

I loved every min of her. Shes is hanging to dry and will be trimmed and weighted as she dries. Cant wait to smoke her. She was so heavy in the end she needed yo yo hangers to have her supported under all her weight. I would love the chance to grow her again. Oh my god she is sooo heavy like wow i cant even with her. The rosin she produced is just fire. Lemons and vanilla and so heavy. I would grow her a million times over.

Barely did any training apart from position some leaves to allow light through some areas. took off some new growths and unwanted leaves but not much. was away for two nights so had no choice but to leave the lights on however leaves didn't scorch.
after topping during veg the tops next to main stem didn stretch as much as i though they would, I have pulled them apart with my fingers until main stem around topping site split slightly. see before and after

She has a bit if the test turns out right she may be a mom instead. Nothing to do to her yet.

So far so good. 3 plants all m39xgdp photo periods. All in Pro Mix HP under 240w quantum boards 3500k. Middle one was actually from a seed that popped 2 plants it was growing slow at first but is now catching up nice. I took clones from all 3 a week ago. All topped and some lst. The one on the right I damaged the roots on it transplanting but it seems to be bouncing back well these last 2 weeks. Plant on the left has been great had slight nute burn early but corrected it. Also the b52 I swap every other feeding woth cal mag. Will be feeding big bud in 2 weeks and also will use overdrive in the last 2 weeks.
Day 7 of 12/12 decided to strip the lowers off the plants , branches that will never make it to the top. May strip again in week 3. I just hacked it all in 1 shot to give them stress in 1 go rather then over multiple days . Hopfully this has a positive impact.

I transferred it to a half-gallon pot and I mixed the organic fertilizer with the soil.

Skipped a week in my journal last week, as I was traveling.
Had my neighbor water my plants.
Came back and everything was looking great with the Lion Claw.
I WAS having some minor early deficiencies with my photoperiod plants though... so I decided to go ahead and give everything a solid feeding of Foop Bloom 1, 2 and Sweetener.
Also top dressed the Lion Claw and mulched with rice straw to help with the soil drying out a bit too quickly.
She's a big plant for being in a 5-gallon pot.
I have a sneaking suspicion that my neighbor didn't water them quite enough while I was gone.
Will probably continue with the Foop feedings... probably once per week. Don't want to overdo it.
8/4 LIGHTLY sprayed with gravenstein apple FFJ and OHN.
8/6 LIGHTLY sprayed base soil area with neem oil / castile soap mixture.
