Very nice looking room setup as well as plants. Can i see a full shot of the Mephisto FC? Any details on her? How long she went so far and any training? I have about 10 and she is 1 that I've been deciding on doing when these other girls are done mid July.

FC was actually an experiment I was trying so I don’t really have a timeframe for her but she was “vegged“ for about 5-6 weeks. I trained her in a mainline with 8 mains by topping 3 times. I got busy and she went loose for awhile and got some Nute issues but turned out great. Really frosty but she had a couple weeks of uv treatment as well so she’s had a pretty rough life lol

The manifold didn’t turn out exactly how I wanted (my fault) but the plus side is there is absolutely no larf/popcorn buds

Still looking like she'll be nice. I'll top if i know they are 70% or more Sativa leaning by day 21 but don't usually train alot. I asked on AFN about Mephisto strains with the best open, NO training flower structures and FC was one that came up. I want to put a few natural wide open plants and let them run. Pretty sure FC will take 1-2 spots out of max 4.

Well I got some slug repellent for my plants and they might look a little rough but they look ok. This is the first time I have checked on them where I haven't had to pull 3 or 4 slugs off of them.View attachment 4353431 View attachment 4353432 View attachment 4353433 View attachment 4353434 View attachment 4353436 View attachment 4353437 View attachment 4353437 View attachment 4353439 View attachment 4353440
Holy shit bro. They look like they will be fine! Nice work!

Cut a tester 4 or 5 days ago. Looking ok I think.

I wanted to give it another week or so, but we have some savage humidity in the forecast so now I'm not so sure.
With my past experiences growing outside in the weather where I live... If I get bud looking even close to ready, I harvest. I have been burned too many times trying to wait just a few more days... Or giving it just 1 more week... Only to lose everything to bud rot and mold. When in doubt... Harvest. Cutting a little too soon is better than waiting too long and losing it all.

Yea man...last year was a perfect example of that. Us outdoor guys learn some hard fucking lessons. Haha

Updating Day 13 FastBuds only 50% Germination Grow.

The GSC is alive but puny. BlueDream's look healthy. Big difference in the size, the closeup is the GSC.day13a.jpg day13runt.jpg

My 2 Mephisto Double Grapes are coming along nicely. I'm on day 14 and they seem pretty happy.
20190624_205322.jpgDecided to go with coco for this grow. First time for that (and growing in a tent, and autos) so I'll need all the tips and tricks from any of you indoor auto wizards. I have a feeling my outdoor/soil/photo skills wont translate to a tent/coco/auto grow. :dunce:

Feed nutes EVERY TIME you water. Better to water 2-3 smaller times a day than 1x a day or even every other day. If there was any perlite in it'll be plenty dry. No flushing unless leaf problems. Flushing will cause problems. Led lights? In coco led lights need extra cal mag. I go 2 ml per gal every feeding from day 1 to harvest. Coco is the best.

Got it. Thanks Matty. Awesome advice.

I've heard that I should start at half strength on the nutes and then dial it up slowly as I go. Do you agree?
