It’s the eighth week of flowering, and the plant is looking absolutely gorgeous! The buds and leaves have turned a deep purple with rich autumn hues, giving the plant such a unique, almost magical appearance. The sweet smell has become even stronger and fills the whole grow space with a powerful, sugary aroma. 🍬🌿 I’ve noticed the trichomes starting to turn an amber color—just the sign I’ve been waiting for! Most of them are still milky, but the amber hints show we’re getting close. This week, I’ve started the flushing process to clear out any remaining nutrients and prepare for harvest. 💧 Everything’s on track, and I couldn’t be more excited for the final steps! 😁✨

Day 71 from seed the plant seems to be coming along nicely and flowering stretch has come to a end . I cut some of the lower branches that were carrying some flower because there was no way they were going to develop on time with the higher branches because of lack of light penetration at that lower level and since nothing well happened to those lower branches she can start concentrating her effort and energy on to the higher buds. Thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow.

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.

These have been under the new XS2000 from viparspectra for about a week now. I really love the style of the XS series lights! Hard to beat the LM301B diodes. Check out their black friday deals here https://www.viparspectra.com/?aff=Wicked_Stix&utm_source=affiliate The gutter hoe grow show is going pretty smooth. It is very unusual to watch these plants grow without them being topped. They seem small compared to plants that I top, but they all look pretty healthy. I had an issue with the organic calmag clogging all of my feed lines. This is one of the reasons I usually avoid organics in hydroponics. The organic was all I could get locally so I tried it and it was a fail. I have calimagic on the way though so they will get a dose in a couple days. I see a few signs of mag deficiency but nothing to worry about yet. They have been on 12 12 lighting for over a week but not seeing signs of them maturing enough to flower. I think it will start happening before the end of next week.

Weekly update on these big girls. I decided to take out some of the lower branches, giving more airflow at the top of the pot level. Overall they've exploded with growth this week. I'd say they're getting close to 4ft tall. I sprayed some BT spray for ipm this week since I don't want catapillers showing up unannounced. All in all Happy Growing.

What a difference a week makes! #1 is just adding on the weight this week while #2 continued to stretch to what might be a record for this auto at 40” and is now exploding with pistils. #3 is yet another type of pheno and a short bush that I have continually taken leaves from trying to figure out what is what. I expect #3 to start her stretch this week given the fact that she’s almost two weeks behind the others while I was trying to find a bean that would pop. Staggering on the trim doesn’t really bother me because they are all getting the same 19 hours of light indefinitely. We are getting into some heat up north and I imagine the room will climb into the high 80’s but there’s not very much I can do about that except giving them air circulation. Stardawg really is the star of the show and might end up being my consistent go to if they keep going like this.

Thought i could change last week to "Harvest" this works too lol....this plant is not a super heavy hitter and despite being an indica dom its actually a pretty good daytime smoke, I've been smoking a little with coffee the last few mornings without it zapping my motivation..would we grow again?..meh..maybe...the weights as usual are approximate..my hubby "eyeballed" half of what was dry and passed it on to family..the remainder of the dry stuff weighed 45 grams.. this is only to last until our next harvest in 2 weeks..thanks for reading and happy growing everyone!!❤️🐱💡🌱

Last week ahead. Next time will cut nitrogen earlier. These ice cream cakes did not like it at this level. Also had a little dripper clog and mokums tulip got a little burnt. At these high ec levels they are super sensitive to drybacks.

Blue Sunset Sherbert – Week 5 of Flowering The Blue Sunset Sherbert ladies are thriving! 🌿✨ Now at 4 weeks of flowering, they are developing beautifully. I noticed a slight nutrient deficiency in one of the plants, so I added a bit of Greenhouse Feeding Booster to balance things out. It seems to have worked well, and everything looks back on track. From now on, I’ll cut back on chemical boosters and switch to a more natural approach. Starting tomorrow, I'll be using my homemade calcium booster made from eggshells and vinegar to keep everything in balance. 🌱🔬 Exciting times ahead—stay tuned and don’t forget to follow for more updates! 😎 --- Blue Sunset Sherbert – Blüte Woche 5 Die Blue Sunset Sherbert-Ladies machen sich prächtig! 🌿✨ Jetzt, nach 4 Wochen Blüte, entwickeln sie sich wunderschön. Ich habe einen leichten Nährstoffmangel bei einer Pflanze bemerkt, also gab es ein wenig Greenhouse Feeding Booster, um das auszugleichen. Das scheint gut funktioniert zu haben, alles sieht wieder top aus. Ab jetzt werde ich die chemischen Booster zurückfahren und auf eine natürlichere Methode setzen. Ab morgen kommt mein selbstgemachter Calcium-Booster aus Eierschalen und Essig zum Einsatz, um das Ganze weiter zu stabilisieren. 🌱🔬 Spannende Zeiten stehen bevor—bleibt dran und vergesst nicht zu folgen für mehr Updates! 😎
