***Skip the first post with the text if you wanna just see some autos!***
Hey all, I've been growing some mephisto autos for about 2 months now, they're my first autoflowers since about 2012/13. Back then I had heard about these mephisto genetics but they were not very attainable, and I had some lackluster experience with autos at that time.
I had a number of white label auto fem seeds that were pretty mediocre, they would grow buds, but they didn't have much smell or potency. They did grow fast I guess, but it seemed silly to put resources to it just for the sake of it being fast.
I had a couple dinafem seeds that I had read great things about, but while they grew decent enough plants, they were small and left a lot to be desired. I would grow them here and there to make better use of my space at the time, but they always disappointed at the time. My setup wasn't too of the line, and I admittedly was trying to grow them just like photos, so I assume they could have been a bit better with more ideal conditions.
Fast forward, I finally have the opportunity to buy some mephisto seeds in 2021 or 2022, and grabbed a nice bunch which intrigued me, but alas I had life throw a curveball at me, and had to relocate. During the relocation I suffered some unfortunate injuries that kept me out of the garden for a while, but I've finally been able to start getting back to my life as time goes on and things heal.
I've learned alot in this time, and it's been a true lesson in patience, and appreciation. The world is always so busy and "go go go!" That it's easy to get caught up in it, and forget to take time to enjoy life, and really live it.
With the new year came a new outlook on things, and I have been able to start a garden and get a small tent going again.
I'm using a 28"×28"×60" mars tent, a 240w 3000k+660nm+UV kingbrite but it is dimmed a bit, and have a 6inch fan and filter for exhaust, passive but filtered intake and a 40" tower fan along with 3 clip fans in there to keep air circulation high as the tent is jammed.
I made a mistake and I started like 24 or 25 beans because I am silly and decided I waited too long to not start so many!
I gave a few away, and moved a few outside, I always intended a bunch to go out but I wasn't really thinking when I made the decision. Only legally able to grow 4 so I have "4" outside. There are a couple with 2 in the pot but growing to look like one.
In the tent I kept 7 (yes 7 in a fricking 2×2 basically hahah) 3 are in 5gal fabric pots, and 4 are in these little 1.5 or 2gal plastic pots. There's not enough room for them all, and there are 2 that are basically just living under the canopy because I wanted the light more on the bigger plants. I don't think I'll go with this strategy in the future lol.
The plants in the tent are :
GWK×RB
CDLC×Forumb×Forum
Grape Crinkle
Double Grape
Sundae Thumper
Sour Stomper
'El Chemi Kiwi
Outside I have
Double Grape
Mephisto's Wedding
Forum×TD
CDLC
3Bog
Sam×3bog
Grappa×2
AvT
Many of the outdoor plants are basically just going to be tiny and meh, they've been kept in a corner hidden from light and the crappy weather we've had, but the CDLC, sam×3bog, DG and MW will all be pretty nice
Grow has been pretty easy going, the plants kept growing into the light, so some of the leaves up top got a little crispy but it hasn't bothered the ladies much.
There were about 3-4 balls on the gwk×rb on the main stem, probably stress sacs from too much light. They never came back and I don't think they were even going to produce pollen.
Ah my image hosting didn't work, will have to get them up later today
