Mephisto Genetics First Auto Grow - Mephisto Double Grape in soil with GBD SS mix

[Seed N Employ]

Looks good! Hard to tell from pics but is it a mag issue? What type of lights do you run?

Thanks @Scribble420 and @Seed N Employ , yeah it looks the yellowing has stopped for the time being. I don't think it was a mag issue as I was adding extra CalMag all along the veg period ( the last feeding before adding the Roots Organics Uprising Ferts I added 3ml of CalMag to a gallon of water). I think the yellowing that is now continuing to happen is normal,as it is happening to older fan leaves inside the bush and at the bottom of the bush. The buds are starting to stack, and she is starting to add a bit of frost on the top fans. Pictures to come later today.

Right on, if you haven’t already, and it seems to be continuing, I’d suggest flushing in the event it is a lockout.

Day 66 - Day 65 got away from me, so a day late. There were 3 feedings since the last report on Days 61, 63, and 65. Day 61 was just 60 ounces of purified water ph'ed to 5.9. Day 63 was 65 ounces of Walmart Purified Water with minerals, 3ml CalMag, and 2.5ml of MammothP ph'ed to 5.9. Day 65 I added 1 teaspoon of Roots Organics Uprising Foundation and 2 teaspoons of Roots Organics Uprising Bloom scratched into the top couple inches of soil along with the other 1/2 gallon of feed water from Day 63 (Walmart Purified Water with minerals, 3ml CalMag, and 2.5ml of MammothP ph'ed to 5.9). She is definitely beginning to add some trichs/frostyness, that showed up in the pictures. The autocobs are so bright that little details kid of get lost in the glare. She is still turning the lower fans yellow, but I believe this now to be closer to a normal process of her aging and eating herself to keep up with her nutrient demands during flowering. The top canopy is still a bit pale and botchy but has not gotten worse then several weeks ago. The Root Organic Uprising fert (foundation and bloom) seem to have done the trick and provided much needed boost to help get her to the finish line. She will need to be done by end of May as I will be going away and won't be able to car for her. Now on to the pictures...

Day 70 - This girl was watered twice since the last update, on Day 67 and Day 69. She is getting watered every other day right now that she is heavily in flower. Both watering consisted of 70 ounces of Walmart Purified Water with minerals, 3ml CalMag, and 2.5ml of MammothP ph'ed to 5.9. I am still tucking leaves so lower/inner buds get some light mulitple times a day. I have started to lower the autocobs by an inch or two every three days and look for the plant to react either negatively or positively. She is starting to stack flowers on the cola's but they are not dense as of yet. Fan have definitely began to frost up. She has an odor that when I get it on my hand by rubbing up against a flower, I spend the next hour walking around sniffing it as it is very intoxicating. Not grapey per say, but a sweet chemical smell. I am hoping (fingers crossed) she is done in the next 30 days as thats all the time she gets!

Let's get to the pictures now....

Day 75 - The Double Grape lady has been watered 3 times since the last update receiving 80 ounces, 60 ounces, 60ounces of day 71-73-75 respectively. The water was made up of Walmart Purified Waters with minerals, 3ml CalMag, 1ml Primordial Solutions Seagreen, and 2.5ml of MammothP ph'ed to 5.9. She is continuing to frost up, especially on the fans. The lower fans have been dying off, so I have been removing them. There are 18 tops that sit above the canopy, and a bunch more that sit right below the canopy that I need to leaf tuck in order for them to get adequate light. Still hoping this plant will be done by hopefully May 25-26 which will be day 100 or day 101. Now onto to the pictures...

Good Afternoon, well after several months of reading posts, I am ready to take the plunge. I have a DG soaking in 80 degreeF water, going to go into a DVD case by 9pmest tonight. I had read that some have suggested "precharging" their final pot to make it more condusive to seedlings. My 3gal airpot has two layers of soil; bottom layer a amended soil with EWC and GBD's SS mix with some added perlite, and the top layer is strictly the EWC amended soil and perlite.

My question is that if I water the pot is preparation for the seedling in several days, does the water need to be PH'ed to 6.5-6.8 prior to wettting the pot? I always thought that soil would buffer the ph of water, so with my photo's I have never worried about the ph of water I was using.

My second question is what (if any) additional amendments need to be added to the water in the 1rst 4 weeks? I plan on using GDB's SS mix, and mammoth p and Recharge + throughout the entire grow. If they show signs of slight deficiency, I planned on using some Mother Earth Meal Mix Bloom to boost them near the end.
Amazon product ASIN B01LZFTTV3.

Any help or criticism eagerly accepted. Thanks!

I personally would advise against using the mammoth p it has some pretty harsh chemicals in it from what I’ve read. Great job with the plant she looks amazing I’m curious To see how much you get from 1 I have 15 I’m going to start after my auto glueberrys are done. Nice lights btw I have 6 autocobs 2-3500k’s 2-4500k’s and 2-6500k’s plants seem to really love these lights and one thing I’ve noticed because of the different spectrum of lights I’m using I have not needed to use cal/mag at all

Thanks for the heads-up about MammothP @verbalkent412 , I will read up on this some more. However, considering the cost, I may have to continuing using until I finish the bottle. One other thing, I don't recall saying I was using 1L pots, in fact, I am using a 5 gallon (~19L) airpot. She is really starting to bulk up and since I anticipate her finishing in the 3 weeks, I think this might be the time she fattens up the most. I am hoping she is going to yield between 2-3 ounces, which would be a good yield for me and this grow.

Edit - I incorrectly identified my airpot in the first post as a 3 gallon airpot. It is in fact a 5 gallon equivalent airpot.

I’m kinda confused about the 1L pots?i was saying I’m curious to see how much you get from 1 plant

I personally use mammoth p with great results. In fact from one run to the next, I ran a skywalker under identical conditions with the only change being mammoth p and got a 13% yield increase.

Regarding harsh chemicals, I’ve done my research, mammoth p was created by PhD’s at Colorado State University using responsible practices. I’ve listened to Colin Bell on podcasts, I’ve talked to other growers about it, I feel it’s a completely safe and effective product.

Where did you read this information about harsh chemicals?

Looking good, btw Seymour!
