Apart from struggling to maintain an optimal VPD, it’s smooth sailing right now. The buds are swelling up nicely. According to the breeder, we still have at least four weeks of flowering to go before harvest.

Another week of step increases. I changed out the led light for a MH on Tuesday 10/09. I set the MH light at 200 watts 10 inches away to start with. On Wednesday I watered the girls at 6pm until slight runoff. On Thursday 10/11 I added a floor fan that oscillates to get air movement below the plants. I also increased the MH light to 300 watts and moved the light to 12 inches away from the plants. After the light increase I started to have a huge dip in humidity. I added water to the plant saucers in the tent to bring it up. Its getting better but still not where I want it. I will be monitoring this. Saturday 10/13 I turned up the light to 400watts at 7 pm and increased the light distance to 15inches. Its keeping the temp right around 80f without having to increase fans or any other adjustments. I also did the hand test and it was hot but it was warm so I believe it is in the sweet spot. I watered them again today until runoff. I can't believe the wingspan they already have. Looks like I'll be moving them to 5 gallons way sooner than I thought,

So this is the Tear Down week. The timing of it makes it so i will need to the harvest flag in a few days when I can weight and test the plants. I have included the Cleaning, and Cutting and some Root Porn. I will make the harvest post in about 4-5 days, when I can trim these plants. There is a lot of Plant here. I got way more than I was expecting. I don't have a scale that measure this amount of plant, without taking like 10 measurements and then adding them together. So I will just be posting the dry weight. I will post the wet weight as dry weight * 1.65. Autopots: Wow, what a great product. I have been blown away by how well and how easy it was to work with them. They really did solve the watering issues. Excellent product. If you are a beginner, start with Autopots. -= Lessons Learnt =- - Overdrive the air to your Autopots. In my control plant, I used a small rectangle air stone (instead of a standard air dome). This lead to root rot and some other issues, it also put significantly less air into the water. The root rot, give the material for the Brown Algae to grow. Using a huge Air-disc-Air-Stone would be an excellent combo to mix in with the air dome itself. Something like this: https://www.amazon.ca/Pawfly-Diffuser-Suction-Hydroponics-Aquarium/dp/B01MY3AQ33 at the bottom and the air-dome on top of it, will be what I do with my next experiment. - Air stone in the reservoir. I had two instances where algae grew into the res. An air stone would have helped. It would have also helped my control plant get less root rot. Given the amount that the air-domes and air sources got engulfed, having the water have more o2 in it would have only been beneficial. - Don't grow 6 plants in a 4x4. Since my control plant was about 1/8th the size of the others, I think I could have grown 5 in the shape of a 5 (on a 6 sided dice)⚄ This placement would give a much more spaced canopy for airflow and more importantly light. The sides of some of the plants were lighter green and produced larf due to lack of light penetration. - This tent was on 19-5 schedule. This worked out very well for this strain. After every lights on, they were in the praying position, so this strain was able to recover in that 5hrs off. If I had more seeds, I would run these again, and try 20-4. I think this strain could handle it. All for all, I think I'm going to 19-5 as my default timing. This kept up a solid DLI. - Staring at .9EC (really .7 EC cause my water here is .2 EC) Then bumping up at .1 a week, until 1.6EC worked out VERY well. I experimented on this crop all the way up to 1.9EC, which burnt the tips of this plant. I think if I did this strain again, I would do 1.6EC until 3-4 weeks left then crank it to 1.9. It did plump them up when I went to 1.9, however it left them looking rough. Bulk was added though. - Sticking to 6.0PH for all of veg, and 2 weeks into flower worked great. The plant had solid and consistent color and leaf shape . The plant's did get hurt, due to some issues (as noted on the weeks). I switched to 6.5 PH in the last 3-4 weeks and it helped them recover, and plump up noticeably. -VPD. The #1 thing I focused on was VPD. I keep it .9kpa range, as best as humanly possible. It was honestly, HUGELY noticeable compared to my other grows. I know truly understand the value of properly dialed in VPD. This is the one lesson that will stick with me forever. - Super-cropping: On the plants I give the chiropractic treatment too, had much thicker stems as much larger channel internally. I did this treatment to 4 of the 6, and the 4 that had it done has larger buds and recovered from defoliation faster. TLDR; VPD is king. Super-cropping is worth the time. Keeping PH and EC dialed in were all wins. Autopots kick ass.

Repoted them into 5 litre pots from pot noodle cups , pulling top fan leaves still . The side branches are catching up slowly.

Genetica davvero valida come già detto merita un posto nella coltivazione di tutti almeno una volta, penso sopratutto che quando farò estrazione avrò bella soddisfazione data la quantità di resina e terpeni che hanno sprigionato

Switching them into flower after 8 weeks of veg. Going to get some nutrients this week as well. I decided to downsize and keep the biggest strongest plants and adopting out the rest.

Smell is Citrus Bubbelgum 9/10 Plant 2: ~360 gram wet NO Topping 2x Schwazzing heavy LST though Scrog netting The Bud structure is dense, it does have some very Big buds, but also a lot of small popcorn buds. The smell is Citrus Buggelgum 8/10 And just remember guys, those plants were all grown in 5 Liter Pods (1,5 Gallon)!!! I will post updates once Product is dry. Thanks for the love everyone!

Increased nitrogen at 7.5ml/L (EC=2.03mS/cm) this week. They seem to appreciate that. To monitor in the next few days. Watered twice a week with Hesi-Powerzyme at 2ml/L. May the fourth be with you 😎 Dicreased Nitrogen at 7,0ml/L. I ve got some issues with my humidity (near 40%). I try to increase it.. Peace all ✌️✌️🏽✌️🏾✌️🏿✌️🏼✌️🏻.

Day 71 H20: 3 lt A+B: 9ml Rz: 1.5 ml Zym: 7.5 ml Bt: 6 ml C/mg: 5 ml ============================================ Day 72 H20: 3 lt A+B: 13 ml Rz: 1.5 ml Zym: 7.5 ml Bt: 6 ml C/mg: 5 ml ============================================ Day 74 - 76 - 78 - 81 H20: 3lt A+B: 11 ml Rz: 1.5 ml Zym: 7.5 ml Bt: 6 ml C/mg: 5 ml Been a tough week for my girl. We have had two heat waves inside the past two weeks, outside temps were around 40C and the room got too hot even with my aircon on. Resulted in some yellowing leaves in the center directly under the light. Despite the heat the buds have fattened up but they are still not very solid. So I have put her on straight H20 and I'm checking for amber trichs, then she will be harvested. Before my next bean goes in I'm going to try to get a bit more room by moving a wall. I need to get more cool air going in and it's cheaper than a new exhaust fan at this stage. Only thing now is to choose what Mephisto plant to plant next: Hubbabbuba Toof decay or White crack What do you think should be my first Mephisto grow?

WHATS NEW...? THIS WEEK SHE MADE AVERAGE PROGRESS. PROBABLY BECAUSE OF THE HIGH TEMPERATURES (90F/30C). BUT NEXT WEEK IM GONNA PROBABLY GET MY NEW DEHUMIDIFIER AND THE NEXT WEEKS GONNA BE MUCH COLDER ON AVERAGE COMPARED TO LAST MONTH (SUMMER ENDS). SO SHE HOPEFULLY GETS IN THE NEXT 1-2 WEEKS A BOOST WHEN THE TEMPS ARE MORE IDEAL. THE EXTRA CO2 PROBABLY ALSO HELPS. KEEP ON GROWING, SMOKING & ENJOYING LIFE ☢️👽💨

9cm vertical growth. Stretch slowing down now. Doing her own thing.
