Mephisto freebies grow

[MOgrows]

Hello, everyone. First time posting to the forums. I'm currently growing two plants from seeds that I received as freebies when I ordered direct from Mephisto. Pics soon to come

[MOgrows]

Blue Cush is supposed to be a small plant, but I was surprised at how small. I'm hoping to get an ounce out of it. It already smells just like a mango starburst.

[MOgrows]

Fugue State x Orange Diesel is one that has never been released, but based on the parents I was expecting a bigger plant and it didn't disappoint.

Welcome MOgrows to the land of GWE where you will find all the information you need to complete a grow! It really is a nice place to be! Your grow is coming along real nice! If you don't mind me asking, how far are your lights from the plant canopy (tops)? And if you can, load us up with all your particulars. Tent, lights, nutes , soil, etc. You can even start a grow journal to show off your talent. you can find that info at the top of the forum page. Good Luck! Good Growing !!

[MOgrows]

Thanks for the welcome Colombo, glad to be here. I'm growing in a 2x4x5 tent with a 400w mh/hps. I'm using the General Hydroponics Flora trio in straight coco. The lights were 10 inches from the canopy in those pics, but I raised it to 14 inches because the Blue Cush wasn't liking it that close. I'll probably just post pics in this thread to finish off this grow, but on the next one I'll do a journal from seed to harvest. Thanks for stopping in to take a look

Hey, everyone! Day 42 update.

Blue Cush is really starting to put on the frost.

[MOgrows]

It is a little droopy. It didn't start until I switched from mh to hps, so I'm thinking that it just doesn't like the light. I'm about to move it up a couple more inches because the other plants leaves are starting to curl up too

[LurkingInTheGrass]

just gathering info (and fairly medicated )

when you switch from MH to HPS, is it before, at or after the flip to 12/12?
does my question make sense?

when you switch from MH to HPS, do you raise the lights then bring them back down, to let the girls adjust?

[MOgrows]

These are both autoflowers so no switch to 12/12. I waited until about 2 weeks after the stretch started to switch to hps. I started at 17 inches from canopy because that's what worked on my last grow, I just moved it up and it's at 20 now.

Feel free to gather all the info you need. This is the first forum that I have been a part of, so I know that my information sharing could use some improvements 😀

[MOgrows]

Fugue State x Orange Diesel has finally stopped stretching, and has settled into flower

[LurkingInTheGrass]

NICE
bud tops all fat and pistils sticking out

[MOgrows]

This plant is so far the best one that I've grown. There's a little bit of wind burn on the bottom, but overall I'm pretty happy with it so far. Thanks for stopping in and taking a look

[MOgrows]

Both plants are under the same light, some pictures picked up the hps glow more than others.

[MOgrows]

Hello, everybody! Hope everyone is having a great weekend so far.

Day 49 update

Blue Cush has started putting on some weight. The leaves finally stopped drooping this week, and now I'm thinking it was a humidity issue, and not a light issue. Humidity was in the 30s, and now it's between 40 and 50. I have moved the light down to 14 inches with no negative effects. I've noticed a little tip burn, so I have backed off the nutes a little bit

[MOgrows]

Fugue State x Orange Diesel is putting on some weight too. It really picked up on the trich production this week, and has finally started smelling like weed. I have noticed some leaves getting lighter, and some purpling on the leaf stems, so I have increased the nutes on this one, and I think I may need to go a little higher even.

[MOgrows]

When increasing or decreasing fertilizer strength due to under or over feeding, should I keep the same ratio, or only change the amounts of one part of the mix?

I'm using this schedule for the ratios of fertilizer, but with autos the weeks don't always line up the same

[LurkingInTheGrass]

I maintain the ratio's (in DWC)

sort of 'felt' my way around, when it came to the Autos (only have done 2)

[MOgrows]

That's what I ended up doing, and it seems to be working great

[MOgrows]

I'm using week 8 right now

[MOgrows]

Day 56 update

Both plants got a good flush this week, and I started nutrients back at full strength according to Nebula's schedule



Blue Cush is thickening up nicely! Super frosty with a very strong tropical fruit smell. Not too many orange hairs yet, but most are starting to curl in, which makes me think that it's on the way to a quick finish

[MOgrows]

Fugue State x Orange Diesel really responded well to the flush. It put on a lot of frost, and started a really strong rubbery orange smell. It has a lot more orange hairs than the Blue Cush, but it has more thick white hairs standing straight out too.

[Colombo]

Real nice job MOgrows, The girls show your commitment and look real pretty!

[MOgrows]

Thank you Colombo! Really appreciate you checking in!

[Colombo]

Remember to document what you have done with your grow for your next, so they look just like the present !!

[ocgreen]

Hey MOgrows everything is looking great! I'll be following along now that I found your thread -- really looking forward to placing an order with Mephisto when they (likely) have their 4/20 sale next month.

Officially adding Blue Cush to the wish list because it looks so good!

[MOgrows]

Glad to have you along for the ride ocgreen! I think you'll really enjoy ordering direct from Mephisto. I just ordered 5 seeds last Wednesday, and received 15 on Monday.

Unfortunately Blue Cush isn't being sold anymore. I just got it as a freebie on my first order. They have a few new strains being released for their 4/20 sale, and I think those will be the only ones available during the sale.

Not trying to sound like an advertisement lol
