I switched from 24/0 to 20/4 and good to hear 18/6 worked well.

Day 11..another heatwave here but the AC is on out here for the dogs so tent temp is only 83. I prefer mid 70s but it’s 100 outside and I’m in the garage so I’ll take it. Humidifier blasting cool vapor from top of the tent helps a lot too, like 5 degrees.

Day 13..leaves at edge of 5gal pot is right on sched, this is normally when I would stop hand watering and set on tray. Posting pics every other day so after the grow I can look back and get a nice time lapse effect.

I have actually been noticing fasting growth when the tent is between 80-85°f, it’s when I see the fastest growth.

Same here on the temp. I think it matters more dropping the temps when in later flower.

I’m fortunate to have the window ac unit out here. About an hour ago I turned off ac and humidifier and in 20 minutes the tent temp was 93

Day 20..
Vacation Bubba on the right is first to hit puberty and maturing much faster than Bramley Beast as evidenced by her asymmetrical nodes starting on just the 5th set

Ooh buddy, Bramley Beast is a stanker!! Super funky stank! Rotten and funky and the easiest way to put it, Obscene!!! Got two different phenos one green 
, one purple 
, the green one was full couch lock, the purple one as more sativa, very soaring amd heady, motivating even! But both were straight foul smelling in the best way possible, and both yielded huge

Great to hear man thank you! A 5pack came as a freebie a year or two ago and finally came around in the grow rotation. I havent grown a Mephisto bean for about 18 months so plan to do at least one per grow for a while. I’ve only grown NO, meph and Speedrun and I find meph to be the prettiest frostiest and stinkiest. As far as an overall smoke report I find them all the same tbh, every plant in 4+ years has been tasty smelly and stony. At least compared to anything I was buying it is. Mostly I repeat plants that were structured better for light penetration or were real pretty in flower or tasted extra delicious. For me the intensity is unnoticeable between the brands because it’s been kick ass across the board. If I’m in the mood for just one plant I’ll grow Speedrun, they just get too big for my particular ocd issues but one in the 4x4 would be great for sure. Or grow 4 and top them, I think they’re perfect to open up a few nodes and let her rip, minimal to none lollipop.

I agree, quality across the board with those three. I have noticed that Dream Beans and Roc Bud Inc have been the dankest autos I’ve grown period. They are just as frosty and dank as everything else, but every plant has been a yielder/tent star on top of the darkness. The selections aren’t as many as the big 3 you mentioned tho. I grow everybody. You should also try Twenty20 Mendocino for pure fire. Lots of different flavors there for autos.

I do stay away from bulk white label stuff and breeders than don’t share genetics and the lines they came from. I believe in transparency and being honest, and the majority of those won’t tell you shit, so I don’t bother. But I will give any breeder a chance who is transparent and reveals their genetic lines. I spent the last 3 yrs growing out different breeders every round just about, and there’s a lot of bullshit to dig thru lol. I could probably count all the auto breeders I fuck with on two hands. From my experience, anybody selling “cheap seeds” is just ripping people off, watered down genetics, outsourced breeding, and zero regulation. Who knows what genetics you’re getting. For example, if you are familiar with Dark Devil Strain from Sweet seeds(not my favorite), it’s like Anvil where like 95% of plants are purple, I ordered some budget Dark Devil seeds from Dr Seeds when I was first getting into autos, this 12 pack didn’t have a single purple pheno, and the weed smelled like sweet fish, it was awful. We ended up throwing it out, we were like, “What the fuck is this garbage?” Lol. All my other plants were fine and represented what the breeders said they would
