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.

The tower now has an extra floor made of pool stick I topped two big buds that reached their 5th node Just changed the water and i m going out for two weeks I added some bloom nutrient into the mix as i'm probably going into flowering 12/12 next week as some girls are too tall All the purple punch died they are fragile I liked them tho since the girl seemed so compact and small with many buds I will try and plant another bunch of purple punch later

Start of week 9. They are fading now so they look rough. Give them time to completely fade and they will look better. Hurt my tips but you live and learn. Their smell is still pretty normal for now. It’s like a piney tropical fruity smell. The colas are starting to get fat and decent sized buds are showing. I’ll check back at the end of the week to show their progress.

S2 beans are looking good. Will probably chop this weekend (so week 9 day 1-2) testers are good. Still feeding pk just slightly less so adding ph down again. I have stopped using ph down in flower as the soluble pk brings water down to 6.7 and beautiful. Nugs are pretty huge. Feels well above 30%.

So week 4 of flower is in the books and things are going well. Noticing a cal/mag issue in the jehovas witness but not the others. Growth has been strong and the fatality has taken over she has outgrown my five foot tent so am moving everything to a brand new 5x5 that’s 8 feet tall so I’m hoping I can spread them out some and allow light to reach the middle canopy because I have lollipopped all the lower larfy bullshit. Looking forward to a strong finish.

Week 10. The girl is looking a little red, with the next watering I will give her an epsom salt mixture, I hope this will help solve the problem, in general every day the daisies look brighter :) Everything is fine, good luck to everyone.
